2017 UFC Tipping -- R1 -- January 1st - March 31st

[Adzam]

Browne - tko
Lombard - tko
Tucker - dec
Ferreira - sub
McMann - dec
Felder - dec

Found this card pretty hard to tip in given being a fairly new fan to the sport. Outside of the main and co main I can't say Im familiar with any of the other fighters. I think I remember seeing McMann fight before which is kinda why I chose her. I wouldn't mind seeing Lewis win but I think Travis Browne is probably due a win and should be able to get it done. I can't really see things getting better for Hendricks either. maybe a retirement if he loses this one? all my other picks are pretty much random haha.

You're not alone in finding it hard to pick winners. I'm really unsure about a number of these fights. Only pick I'm quite confident in is McMann and even then I don't know much about her opponent.

Patrick Wyman does good previews for UFC shows at Bleacher Report and Connor Ruebusch does good ones at Sherdog.

I look at them to see whether my thoughts on the fights align with theirs. I wasn't really aware of these sorts of articles when I first got into MMA, but I wish I was. They would have helped me a lot in understanding things that you can't really get from commentators during fights.

Can't believe I changed my pick. Had Hendricks marked down by Decision and changed it to that bunny Lombard, why oh why. Just cost myself 2 points

Cooper vs Calvillo now replacing the khabib ferguson fight. how do we usually do this? Just leave this out or redo with the new fight added?

 

[Ross]

I'd say it's probably too late to get people to update their tips and that we should just score the other four fights. I'll include it though just in case.

Woodley decision
Vannata TKO
Evans KO
Cooper decision
Hunt KO
