MMA  > General MMA  > The 95% myth that was Loki
August 9, 2009, 12:03 PM
We all know some of Loki's pearls of wisdom, including his "I can correctly pick, on average, 95% of MMA fights".

So, for the first time ever, we actually get to test if that is true.

We pressured him so much that, also for the first time ever, he made his picks public:


"Florian 4th rd KO, Silva 2rd rd KO, Sadollah(not an armbar), Grove(luck), hmmm....wanna say Neer but will go with Pellegrino, Nelson, McCrory, Sakara can watch the Silva fight to see how to beat Leites(just feint and he'll fall over)...don't know the others...."

How did Loki do?

- Kenny Florian - WRONG

- Anderson Silva - RIGHT

- Amir Sadollah - WRONG

- Kendall Grove - WRONG

- Kurt Pellegrino - RIGHT

- Shane Nelson - WRONG

- McCrory - WRONG

- Sakara - RIGHT

And he doesn't know the other fighters, which actually tells us he doesn't follow the sport all that much, because the likes of Sotiroupoulos, Matt Riddle, Dan Cramer and George Roop were all member of the Ultimate Fighter.

He got 3 fights right out of the 8 he predicted.

Unless I am quite mistaken that's 37,5%

A "little" far away from 95%, wouldn't you say?
