I did take the final fight off the card due to an 0-2 record it makes it nearly impossible to find film or info on that fighter.
I am sure you guys will b----, but I am just trying to do something that gives everyone the best chance to make intelligent picks.

Picking Lacroix over Alendale WAS an intelligent pick, Houston Alexander was a nobody coming in when he floored Jardine, turned out to be a great fight. :x

bah i already sent picks and my top lock was The st-croix fight, so now i have to re send my new locks?
There is plenty of pages talking about those figheters, here for some of you
breakin down the fight
Melanie LaCroix vs. Katrina Alendal
This ShoXC event is featuring not just one, but two female mma fights. While Melanie LaCroix (2-0) and Katrina Alendal (1-3) are not yet well-known, this looks to be an exciting fight. LaCroix has an unblemished professional record of 2-0 and has momentum on her side going into this fight. Melanie LaCroix Female MMA FightOn the other hand, Alendal’s record doesn’t look too impressive, but a closer look reveals that two of her losses were to Tonya Evinger and Jennifer Tate, who are both very tough opponents.
On the feet, LaCroix looks like she is the superior striker. She has a first round TKO win over Melissa Vasquez and an amateur fight first round win over Jessica Maben by submission due to strikes. However, Alendal trains out of Fairtex, which is a top Muay Thai gym. All of Alendal’s losses were by submission, so she hasn’t really shown weakness in the striking department. Look for this to be a competitive fight on the feet.
LaCroix has shown she can hang on the ground with a submission win over Grace Magnussen. Alendal has a very impressive 29-second submission win over Liz Carriero and trains with Jake Shields, who is a Cesar Gracie black belt and has a top-notch ground game. However, Alendal was submitted in all three of her losses. I give a slight edge on the ground to Alendal, but her submission defense is questionable and I wouldn’t be surprised if she got submitted by LaCroix.
With so little information available on these fighters, this is really a tough fight to call. I am going with the 25-year-old LaCroix, who looks like a star on the rise. Alendal has excellent training partners, but she really hasn’t done much and is already 37 years old. Look for LaCroix to get the better of the standup and neutralize Alendal’s ground game.
for sure there is not alot of infos on those fighters, but there's a couple ;d
All weighed in and ready for WAR!!

Listen, I didnt have a ton of time to research.
I made the decision and went forward with it.
I am not going to let a s**t womens fight with limited info decide the outcome of a bout. Sorry but your simply going to have to deal with it.

I don't mind it being dropped, but you'll have to adjust the picks I submitted because I went by the fights posted in the sign up thread.
no biggie, it was my #1 confidence lock.
Picks are in, I have to admit I forgot I signed up for the card, I made the best picks I could make. Hopefully I pull off the miracle KO because we all know BB had all the time in the world to watch endless Youtube videos and breakdowns of every fight these fighters have ever had. I mean seriously dude get a life.
Just kidding around Good Luck BB
I hate to tell you Brad, I don't see it happening. When I close my eyes this is how I see our fight unfolding.
I come out and meet you in the center of the ring to begin the pre-fight staredown, you kiss me, I'm like "WTF"!! I punch your face.
Order is restored and the bell sounds. I come straight to you and kick you directly in the face.
To my amazement you are still standing , so I punch your face with all of my might!!
OMG!! You're still standing?? f--- this!! :x
You're not doing too good after that buddy. Here let me help you out....
Victory is mine, once again!! HAHA!! I celebrate in the middle of the ring with my cowbell.

We're too evenly matched for either of us to lose by KO, but I'll enjoy my hands being raised at the end of the night, probably by dec.
Good luck!!
