KF MMA Picks 2009: UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida

[pittbullJudoka]

Hello,

Please post your picks for this event, as part of KarateForums.com MMA Picks, as a reply to this thread. The fight card is below.

You may choose both the match winner and the method of winning (either submission, knockout/technical knockout or decision). For example, if you'd like to select Bruce Lee to win by submission, you could say "Bruce Lee, Submission" or "Bruce Lee, Sub". "Sub" or "S" can be used as shorthand for submission, KO can be used for knockout/technical knockout, which are considered the same thing as far as these picks are concerned and "Dec" or "D" can be used for a win by decision. Even if you don't know much about a fighter or have no idea about the method, you are encouraged to pick a winner and method in all matches to maximize your chances of winning.
