UFC 122 Predictions Results: I was 70-45-1 coming into this and wasn’t so sure i’d do all that well. The card wasn’t stacked and had fighters coming into this with losses in there last contest. Not saying there bad but it was hard to pick a winner. Anyways I went 7-3 which I didn’t think would happen. I was so close to picking Okami too, I like the underdogs. He is very underrated too, so I’m happy he won. Seth Petruzelli disappoints me, I wanted him to win so bad. Yet again, he falters and will most likely be cut. My new record is now 77-48-1, which looks good to me : ).
