[Contest] UFC 244 Predictions: Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal
This coming Saturday's UFC 244 will a memorable night of clinching, rear-naked chokes and vicious ground 'n pound that you will not want to miss.
What are your predictions for the outcome of the main event: Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal?
There are 12 outcomes to choose from, which include prizes (detailed below).
Rewards
Basic - Pick the Right Option [2 - 7 SPORTS]
*There is higher risk / greater yield if you go with options 3-12, i.e. if Nate Diaz wins by knockout, but you chose option #3 - "Nate Diaz - Submission", then you won't be eligible for SPORTS tokens.
- 2 SPORTS tokens if you pick the general winner [options 1-2]
- 5 SPORTS tokens if you pick winner + method of victory [options 3-8]
- 7 SPORTS tokens if correctly predict cancellation + reason [options 9-12]
Advanced - Round / Method [7 - 40 SPORTS]
This involves using the "Additional thoughts (Optional)" *feature when you submit your response. **I will only look at comments for those who chose the general winner *(i.e. if you were to pick option #3 - Nate Diaz wins by submission and specify that we wins by a "triangle choke" submission -- when the actual outcome is Masvidal submitting Diaz via "triangle choke" -- then I will not consider you eligible for the following bonus tokens).
Call the Final Round [Additional 5 SPORTS]
- Additional 5 SPORTS tokens if you call the final round [options 1-6]
- Going the distance doesn't count; i.e. you won't be eligible for this bonus if you go with options 7 or 8 below
Detailed Victory Method [Additional 10 - 30 SPORTS]
For those who correctly choose one of options 3-6 below, I will award additional SPORTS tokens if you can detail in "additional thoughts"* the type of grappling or striking method used*
- KO/TKO/Stoppage Move [options 5-6] = ADDITIONAL 10 SPORTS
- Specify whether it will be via strike, kick, flying knee, elbow, ground/pound, etc.
- Submission Move [options 3-4] = ADDITIONAL 30 SPORTS
- Specify the grappling/Judo/BJJ/wrestling move, i.e. rear-naked choke, triangle choke, kimura, armbar, guillotine, etc.
Additional Rules
- The only outcome that will not get you additional SPORTS tokens is disqualification.
- I will start tallying up winners/awardees after the official decision Saturday PM / Sunday AM -- anyone who tries to vote correctly after-the-fact should not expect awards.
**Best of luck and enjoy the fight!

Congrats! You won 2 SPORTS! Just sent to you a second ago.
My bad! You actually won 5 SPORTS, because you correctly called that it would be "stoppage". I am sending you an additional 3 SPORTS right now.

I saw your poll and thought about it for a day because it looks like a close one to me.
I am very surprised to see that the vast majority is also voting for Nate.
Looking forward to the fight.
Same here! Since Nate's being made the underdog in Vegas, I thought I'd be in a minority going with Nate. It's def going to be a close one. I could see this ending with two bloody faces standing in front of a decision.
What people seem to overlook a lot is Nate's underrated ground game. If Jorge doesn't stay on his feet, he's done.
