UFC on FX 1: Guillard vs. Miller Preview/Picks/Odds

Whoo! I’m still on fire. After going 4-1 in Strikeforce’s first 2012 event, I followed that up at UFC 142 going 8-2 (should’ve been 9-1, but Yamasaki messed up). That brings my 2012 record to 12-3. Not bad, but there’s always room for improvement. And …

Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine Preview/Picks/Odds

Well, not exactly the ideal way to close out the season. I went a sub-par 4-6 at UFC 141. But, as I looked around the Internet, no one had a great night in fight picks, so I’ll take that. But, if you compare the first season (125-95, 57%) to this secon…

UFC 141: Lesnar vs. Overeem Preview/Picks/Odds

Boom! That’s how you put Win 200 within reach! I went a perfect 4-0 on the Strikeforce card, putting my overall season record at 192-111. I still have to get 8 fights right, but that shouldn’t be a problem when I go 11-0 on Friday. And what a glorious …
