The Lyoto Machida "Karate for MMA" Pick-Off Contest: Round 2

Chris Lytle vs. Kevin Burns (WW)
PRELIMINARY CARD
Melvin Guillard vs. Gleison Tibau (LW)
Mike Ciesnolevicz vs. Tomasz Drwal (LHW)
Brad Blackburn vs. Edgar Garcia (WW)
Cameron Dollar vs. Jason Dent (LW)
Frank Lester vs. Nick Osipczak (WW)
So if you participated in round 1 of our pick-off contest and you still want the Lyoto Machida "Karate for Mixed Martial Arts" DVD set, read on...
Enter your picks in this forum thread by noon PT on Saturday, and be sure to include a quickest-finish prediction in case we have a tie-breaker. For a refresher on how you should format your picks and tally your score, go here. Please don't edit your picks after you've made them, or you'll be disqualified. Correctly predicting a decision victory earns you three points, not two.

Oh Bens now you did it. As much as you tried not to spoil last nights episode in the recap, you went ahead and spoiled it anyways. I think it's funny, but do you realize the backlash of anger and hatred these small and pathetic men will wage upon you now that you've robbed them of suspense and surprise? May the Lord have mercy on your comment section.
FreddyFangers Says:
I normally enter these things but this one seems like too much trouble. Next time Bens, you guys do the work...KTHNXBIA!
agentsmith Says:
Haha, notice how few of this season's cast got invited back for a fight on the finale? Could it be because most of them just plain suck?
831 Son Says:
agentsmith, this always happens in the ultimate finale. Dana always brings back a few fighters from the show that lost.
Judo Im Right Says:
can we get anything if we didn't post picks for UFC 99? ...??? no .. damnit ok ....
agentsmith Says:
No shit, but on most previous TUF finales, most of the card was cast members. Look at the TUF 8 finale, 8 of the 10 fights were cast members... this time only 4 of the 10 fights are cast members, and that's including the two finals matches.

@ Judo:
You'll get another chance for UFC 100. Stay tuned.

Still sad to see that Matt Brown isnt in this... I cant wait for his next fight...
Shatski Says:
Yeah, Shotzy. Matt Brown was a good find on the Rampage/Forrest season. He's been consistent and staying busy. Seems like he's fought more times than Dollaway and Sadollah put together.
