Man, I dunno if its the fact that I am the champ that is making me over analyze these fights or if it is just me trying to find a way to beat Bonzy. I just keep going over my picks and changing things around. I know its just a game but I actually feel the pressure in this one. Hopefully I come out on top :?

Maybe it's the card itself. A lot of close matchups on this one.

As a fallen champ, I can assure you that life goes on even if you lose the title. Best of luck, man - I'm rooting for you.

i agree with phenom, its alot easier getting to the top than staying there. i have lots of respect for those who can defend mulitiple times. when your champ its easy to over analyze everything and picks that you normally would make you switch last minute and you end up not trusting your gut. good luck phenom bonzy aint no joke, ill be up to get whats mine soon enough.

Seeing as how I never, ever won a title at Weekly or here, I must admit I can't relate. But I got respect anyway. Best of luck.

Its awful, you try to be perfect, and sometimes you lose because of it.

You got this Phenom. Bonzy is good, and on a nice lil streak, but all good things must come to an end.
My prediction...Phenom dec 5

I think it's this card too.
I could change 1/2 of my picks and feel as unsure about them as I do with what I think are my final picks... yipes.
good match making by the UFC IMO.
