Trying something new.
UFC 296 will take place this Saturday. So I thought it would be fun for SN MMA fans to have a pick 'em contest like we do weekly for NFL.
Pick one winner from each match provided and then the tiebreaker. Winner gets 1000 sats and bragging rights as SN oracle of the octagon for the month.
Here are your matches:
Welterweight: Luque (#9) v.s Garry (#10)
Lightweight: Ferguson v.s Pimblett
Welterweight: Rakhmonov (#5) v.s Thompson (#6)
Flyweight Title: Pantoja (C) v.s Royval (#2)
Welterweight Title: Edwards (C) v.s Covington (#3)
Tiebreaker: How many of the above matches end in KO or TKO?
Good Luck!
1,000 sats paid

Thanks for joining.
3/4 not bad but not enough to be oracle of the octagon.
This contest needs an asterisk. Had all the fights happened, I might've won.
You would have lost on the tiebreaker even if @kaffi had gotten the final fight wrong. But if it makes you feel better *
How dare you bring facts and logic against my sore loser tantrum?
It actually worked out well. I was a bit concerned with the tiebreaker and the replacement fight because you guys picked the tiebreaker based on 5 fights not 4 so if we had a situation where it would have been a different winner if the tiebreaker was applied to all 5 main card fights vs 4 I was just going to pay both participants but it worked out that kaffi would have won regardless how I judged the tiebreaker, with or without the 5th fight.

Thanks for the heads up.

It's a contest. not wagering. There is no buy in. Just make your picks and if you win you win.
