We had a decisive winner in @cvrlessi who missed only one pick in the UFC 222 contest: that pick was Stefan Struve, a sizeable favorite over his opponent (and veteran) Andrei Arlovski. The fight was slow paced, and the decision could have gone either way to be honest.


Most people seemed to have picked Cyborg which was a very solid pick, although she was a 16 to 1 favorite, Yuna Kunitskaya had never faced anyone in the Octagon with the power or cage presence a woman and champion like Cristiane Justino truly possesses....

Yuna tried hard for the takedown early and even nabbed the back of the featherweight champ, but Cyborg was too strong and technically defensive for any submissions to be fully locked in. The ending was a bit brutal, and honestly the ref stepped in a bit too late...
Cyborg is the most dangerous woman on Earth, and by far the greatest women's mixed martial artist of all time. No one is as dominant, and no one may ever be. Regarding the contest, I appreciate you playing, and hope to do many more of these with higher prizes!

Once the liquid rewards for this post are received, expect payout a few days after. It seems most people were split between O'Malley and his opponent Soukhamthath which makes perfect sense, it wasn't a close fight until the end... but both men showed immense heart.
The next event will be Werdum vs. Volkov, and I will most likely do another betting portion for that series as well. Study up, learn the fight game, and make some cash for your 'fight iq'. Again, congrats to the winner, you will receive your just rewards soon, thanks for playing!

Damn, I missed this contest.. I just followed you so hopefully I can get in on the next one? Do you do Boxing posts too?

The thing with boxing is that the favorites are usually massive, and the entire cards are filled with more unknnown fighters. With the UFC, the main card is stacked with fighters most fans know. Make sure to follow steemsports and my articles so you don't miss it! :)

i was looking for it. Thanks to share this amazing article

Great contest! Thanks for giving me a chance to play. Really enjoyed and looking forward for upcoming events.

I love this page/steemian so much

Ugh. I shouldn’t have went with Cat. Thanks for doing this. It was fun. The fights were pretty good. I lost this one but the next one’s mine. : )

Thank you for this contest, although i didn't win, it added some fun to the UFC fights. Maybe another contest for next UFC fight night? I didn't enjoy that Heavyweight fight, but other fights were great fights especially Brian Ortega and Sean O Malley. What was i thinking, i didn't pick Cyborg, lol

work hard, play hard. won...
