MMA Eruption Almost Wins UFC Fantasy Contest!

So, UFC 89 is over and overall I'm pretty happy with the results of my predictions. In the UFC's fantasy contest, I finished 135th out of 20,737 competitors, which puts me in the top 1% of all those that entered. While I didn't win any prizes, I'm still proud of myself and I'm planning on actually putting some money where my mouth is in the future. But let's forget that for now and look at what I got right, and what I got wrong.

What I Got Right
My most accurate prediction was that Michael Bisping would outpoint Chris Leben for three rounds, and come away with a decision victory. I was really tempted to switch my vote to Leben after Bisping was announced as coach for the next season of TUF due to the potential jinx factor, but I didn't. And Shane Carwin did finish Neil Wain with strikes in the first round, but it wasn't quite the highlight-reel knockout I was looking for. Plus, I correctly predicted upset victories for Luis Cane and Terry Etim.

What I Got Wrong:
I was pretty convinced that Brandon Vera would TKO Keith Jardine in the first round, but Brandon gave his fourth straight disappointing performance inside the octagon and lost the decision. I also incorrectly picked Gono, Schiavo, and Baron to win.

Overall, I'm happy with this performance and maybe next month I'll get a prize!
