Filling in for David after I tallied the results for the recap blogs so will post them now.

Join our mma group for mma discussion, OCTAGON.

Quick Results:

Hank Hill is your winner with 59 points
Send your pic to David for the group display.

YODA 58
Head Kick KO 58
RobertMenn 57
NCshvDavid 56
B-Dawk 55
The Prodigy 35
Wildbill 29

The original picks can be found HERE.

The picks for Levens/Lazema and Aleks Emelianenko/Buentello were thrown out due to those fights not happening.

Wildbill did not submit picks for all the fights.

B-Dawk did not make a pick for the Lindland fight.

6 out of 8 picked Fedor, Hank was the only one to get the pick completely right. Prodigy and Wildbill picked Sylvia and finished at the bottom.

I was the only one to pick Rothwell, Prodigy was the only one to pick Rizzo, & Menn was the onlye one to pick Farber...... all three ending up being bad upset picks.

Menn, Yoda and Hill were spot on with their upset pick of Mark Hominick.

Unanimous selections: Silva, Vera, Belfort, Rogerio, Lindland, & Velasquez

Hill and David were the only 2 to correctly pick Frank Edgar.

Everyone except me and Wildbill were correct by picking Kevin Burns. Whatever happens with the protest of the decision will not affect the outcome of the pickem. For sure Johnson has a gripe on losing by eye poke so hopefully it gets overturned for his benefit.

"David, Prodigy, & Menn were correct by picking Kevin Burns. Whatever happens with the protest of the decision will not affect the outcome of the pickem. For sure Johnson has a gripe on losing by eye poke so hopefully it gets overturned for his benefit."

Me and my buddy at work do this too, and we had to come up with the Matt Hammil rule, where if it's clearly a horrid decision then we can disregard the pick, or it can be awarded the other way.

The Matt Hamill rule can only be used once per fight card, and no more then three times a year.

i dont know why i just wrote those 3 names, it was actually everyone except me and wildbill that took burns. .........thats a funny rule tho prodigy haha

but wow i really hope it gets overturned by the commission , that was a serious eye poke that the ref completely missed. mmajunkie.com has pictures of how his eye looked later that night and sunday

Damn, this was a close one. I thought it would be close, but not this close.

July 22, 2008  08:22 PM ET

Nice this was close

Nice work Hank.
I overestimated Silvia...Thought he's last until round 2 'cause of his high pain threshold.
That moment when he had his arm snapped and still kept going still sticks with me.
