UFC FIGHT NIGHT PORTLAND
The event takes place on October 1, 2016, at 7:15 PM EST
Let´s have a look at two of the fights. The co-main event and the first fight on the card.
Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira vs. Will Brooks
Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira is known for his striking. He has some good kicks and has looked surprisingly good grappling when people put him up against the cage. He uses his speed and likes to strike from the outside. Will Brooks is a UFC newcomer with one win over Ross Pearson. In that fight, he surprised most with his willingness to stay in the pocket and trade strikes with a known striker. He has excellent wrestling and is known for being aggressive with unrelenting takedown attempts. Brooks is the favorite but Oliveira is a veteran and is always dangerous on his feet. Will Brooks be able to get this to the ground or will Oliveira break him down standing?

Kelly Faszholz vs. Ketlen Vieira
Kelly Faszholz is coming off a loss to Murphy in her UFC debut she showed good striking even though she is more well known for her submission skills. Coming into her UFC debut, she had a 3-0 record with three submission wins. She uses some very good straight punches and has a good 1-2 jab-cross combination. Ketlen Vieira will be making her UFC debut and is currently on a six-fight win streak with a perfect record of 6-0. Just like Faszholz she is known for her grappling and submission but has also shown solid striking. This is a hard one to call and a dark horse for fight of the night
Who do you think will win?
Faszholz or Vieira?

How to Play
Vote on the main post to enter the bet (main post rewards will also be added to the Stake Pool).
VOTE ON ONE WINNER PER FIGHT ONLY. ie. one male winner and one female winner (Multiple comment votes will be automatically disqualified by the script).
After 24 hours, the post and related game comments payout to the pool; remember 25% voters rewards are deducted from the total post payout value first as per Steem curation rules. Voters are rewarded in standard fashion in proportion to their Steem Power holdings.
The Stake Pool:
The remaining 75% of the total payout is paid out in 50% Steem Power and 50% in liquid currencies, the latter now varies in payout ratio after the new fork. To make the process less complicated, we have decided to use all paid out SBD to buy Steem in the internal market to create a grand total Steem Stake Pool.
30% of the Stake Pool will be retained, of which 15% will go to the writer/sports presenter of the post, and the 15% balance towards editing, development and advertising.
70% of the Stake Pool will be held until the event/game outcome is determined.
Once the winning outcome is determined, we will execute a proprietary developed script that will divide and pay out the Steem rewards equally, using the Power Up method, to Mass Distribute SP to all participants that voted on the main post as the entrance fee as well as voted on the correct comment representing the winning outcome.
Only participants with a Reputation of 35 or more will qualify to earn SP rewards, but non-qualifiers can still vote and comment in support of the redistribution initiative.

@steemsports in the unlikely event that when the Stake Pool is divided up between the winners and the nomenclature resolution goes below the third decimal place (example: 0.0001), then Steem decimal restrictions won’t allow a payout and the pool will carry over to the next game.
Please vote responsibly :).

Alex Oliveira
So far in steemsports bets I've rooted for the Cowboys, the Colts... and now I'm going again with the cowboy!
If we place one vote on both fights, will our vote still count? Or will your script automatically disqualify us?
Yeah I was curious if it was to pick one winner per fight, or if it was you can only pick the winner of one fight. Instructions not clear there. I'm glad to see some more mma people active on Steemit!
looking at it again, you can only vote on one of the fights.
Yeah, looks like it has been edited a couple times.
I think you are correct. And it's upvoting the fighter you believe will win the one fight. I thought we were replying with the image of the fighter. I suppose upvoting is much easier than hosting the pic to a reply. Makes sense.
yeah vote for winner of male fight and winner of female fight!
Only vote once. VOTE ON ONE OF THE 2 FIGHTS ONLY.
Thanks for the clarification. I removed the upvotes from the other images. If I'm DQ'd on this one that's ok. Followed and upvoted nonetheless.
Thanks for editing the post to make it clearer. I had to unvote one of my upvotes; hopefully, the script won't disqualify me for that.
Sorry see my other comment, you can vote one female fighter and one male fighter. I didn't explain that clearly to our editor and was away. You can put your vote back.
I deleted it. I misunderstood what the instructions were. I thought we were to post a reply with the image of the winner. I get a little over-excited with UFC stuff. Sorry!
You can vote one male and one female winner, replies are optional. :)
lol i scrolled down and saw 5 fighters and was like "what kinda sport is this"
So I'm also guessing that you do not want people to reply to the 4 image choices, correct? That would thread underneath each image and move the 2,3,4 image down if there's a ton of comments on the choices.
Oliveria to win! 👍
Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira to win
Hi All! Ricardo here, sorry there was a bit of confusion with the post. I came online now and realised there was some confusion with voting. I didn't explain it properly to @cryptoiskey, the editor of this post.
You can vote once on the men's match and once on the female's match. I can run the script twice on this post. The stake will be split across both matches.
Sorry about the confusion!
Yeah my bad also, should have been obviuos really, but know for next time now...sorry about that everyone.
