    good luck on the picks, releash. :) happy to hear the T finally arrived!

    i'm going to have to go ahead and agree with you on the tko's. i picked a lot and / or submissions. i'm thinking the altitude will keep too many from going to decision. again, maybe it's wishful thinking, hoping to see pre-lims!

    good luck to gray, as always. :)

    p.s. aurelio by submission! :D

    Kenny Florian Vs. Joe Lauzon - Florian by TKO
    Karo Parisyan Vs. Thiago Alves - alves by TKO
    Matt Hamill Vs. Tim Boetsch - Hamill by submission
    Nate Diaz Vs. Kurt Pellegrino - Diaz by KO
    Houston Alexander Vs. James Irvin - Alexander by TKO
    Frankie Edgar Vs. Gray Maynard - Maynard by TKO

    Pre-lims:

    Marcus Aurelio Vs. Ryan Roberts - Roberts by decision
    Din Thomas Vs. Josh Neer - thomas by submission
    Manuel Gamuryan Vs. Jeff Cox - Gamburyan by submission
    Clay Guida Vs. Samy Schiavo - Guida by TKO
    George Sotiropoulos Vs. Roman Mitichyan - Sotiropoulos by submission
    Anthony Johnson Vs. Tommy Speer - Speer by TKO

    I apparently was favoring TKO's while picking the methods of victory... I may have to rethink some of these before tomorrow.

    VAS Y GRAY!!

    ps My Bully shirt finally arrived today! Kristin, it has SPARKLES! :eek: Which makes it the girliest shirt I own!

    woohoo!

    my picks match up with yours pretty closely!! 11/12 on the winners....

    clearly he's off on this one! ;)

    I don't know ...PINK and SPARKLES! That might be a little over the top. I suppose as long as I don't wear it with a little plaid skirt, knee socks and pigtails, I should be okay. ;)

    ps Aurelio is not winning by submission!

    just happened upon the result from the first match, while checking to see what time the pre-lims got underway...so pre-lims are underway! i'm staying away from the spoilers now, though, in hopes of a pre-lim or too...not to be greedy. ;)

    slainte! :)

    my guide says garcia vs. huerta again, and aurelio vs. guida. i think they've only shown that one once or twice before.

    anyway, nice warm up for the show.

    i'm relieved to say i already have more points than i had for the entire 82 show and it's still in the pre-lims. i didn't see the winners, but either i got bonuses, or i'm close on the picks so far. it's like it's the end of the first round and i'm starting to get my momentum! :D

    now on to stay at the same point level for the rest of the show...:(
