northstarsforever - I really like your idea naming winners/co-winners of events. Can you have that cumulate, and add the winner(s) of the Jones/Matsushenko event? Kinda cool to show, IMO.
ensane - can you sticky this thread? It would be nice to have it easy to access, as long as the contest survives.
I think it would be cool to keep a record of who won the events too.

Done. Thanks for participating everyone! I hesitated to even suggest it because I didn't know if I would even be wanted.
MAIN CARD Anderson Silva (c) vs. Chael Sonnen (for middleweight title) (5 points)
Thiago Alves vs. Jon Fitch (2 points) Rafael dos Anjos vs. Clay Guida
Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt Hughes Junior Dos Santos vs. Roy Nelson
PRELIMINARY CARD (1 point) Dustin Hazelett vs. Rick Story Phil Davis vs. Rodney Wallace Tim Boetsch vs. Todd Brown
Charlie Brenneman vs. Johny Hendricks
Christian Morecraft vs. Stefan Struve Dennis Hallman vs. Ben Saunders
Actual results:
MAIN CARD Anderson Silva (c) vs. Chael Sonnen (for middleweight title)

Jake Ellenberger vs. John Howard
Takanori Gomi vs. Tyson Griffin
PRELIMINARY CARD (1 point)
Paul Kelly vs. Jacob Volkmann (Very tough call, Volkmann 2 loses are against opponents better than any Kelly has fought, but it's been a while since he had a really strong fight. Do or die time, I say he does.) DaMarques Johnson vs. Matthew Riddle
James Irvin vs. Igor Pokrajac (loser leaves UFC, winner leaves UFC shortly after...) Mike Massenzio vs. Brian Stann
Darren Elkins vs. Charles Oliveira Rob Kimmons vs. Steve Steinbeiss

I'd be cool with having Bellator main card fights included in the standings, even.
I wouldn't mind either, but I don't think a lot of people will end up picking on it...maybe a little over 10. IIRC we agreed to a separate list a while ago.
One request - Can we get the standings/tally in a post for each event either in this thread or the thread for the event? For example, seeing how everyone did on just the WEC card last night would be great. If I've missed this somewhere sorry.

Yeah I can do that.
Edit: Done!

Is there any point including strikeforce prelims for future events? If they are going to be televised/streamed like the Cormier fight that's one thing, but a lot of these guys are complete unknowns to even the most hardcore of fans. It's just a wild guessing game.
We have a problem. I have Live in the Now twice in my spreadsheet and I know he's not the person who is 26-12-4 with a 68% winning percentage. Is that anyone out there? Is that LMFAO?

DREAM and Bellator aren't included. There was plans to do a "hardcore" (for lack of a better term) contest but the turnout was so sparse it was abandoned. I can start one if you want.

Ah, fair enough. I wouldn't worry about it, you're doing enough work already.
EDIT - not sure what you mean about turnout being sparse, though. It seems a lot of people posted picks for DREAM 16, and even Shark Fights 13. I could see some of the smaller Bellator cards being overlooked for sure, though, but Bellator 24 was a pretty big one.
