Dan Henderson is probably the hardest hitter Jon Jones will have fought.

UFC Prediction Openweight Grand Prix

Prediction rules.
- All prediction cards will be printed at the begining of the week (Around 17:00) & must be in by no later than 20:00 on the Saturday or whatever day/morning (pmUK), (amUS) the event is taking place.

- The fights will consist of the full main card & on occasions 1 or 2 selected fights from the under card i.e. Ross pearson fought on the 141 pre lims but this would make the prediction card.

- Scoring, you must select the winner of the fight & method of victory i.e Brock Lesner v Alistair Overeem - Overeem TKO. You will gain 1 point for each prediction, so if Overeem wins by submission, KO or decision this prediction will only gain you 1 point for the Overeem win.

- Victory methods
KO, the fighter is knocked unconscious & unable to continue or the fighter is knocked down & stunned for a few seconds at which point the striking fighter swarms on his downed opponent with 3 or 4 blows before the ref can jump in to stop the fight. This is considered a KO even if the fighter is still conscious but dazed i.e Jon Fitch was dazed by Jonny Hendricks but unable to defend himself therefore the ref jumped in to stop the fight & the result was a KO win for Hendricks.

TKO as of the above but the fighter isn't as badly hurt but can still only defend himself for a short time whilst the striking fighter rains down blows (Punches, elbows, knees to the side) before the ref stops the fight i.e Alistair Overeem's win over Brock Lesner.

Submission A fighter is forced to tap out of the fight due to a choke hold or arm/leg lock i.e arm bar, heel hook.

Decision Either fighter wins on points.

If the result is a draw or a no contest then no score will be given. No score will be given for the prediction of the winning round but feel free to put this in your prediction for possible self gratitude.

The scores will be printed on the Sunday afternoon or following night for any midweek Fight Nights after I've had chance to watch the event.

Legal notice
Any contested decisions will be delt with in a fair manner and resulted at the earliest possible date and all prediction masters decisions are final.

Yours sincerely, Mr Justice Mitchell

Unlike the Premier League the UFC doesn't have an end of season so I'm still figuring out when a winner can be announced.

How about announcing the winner at this time next year? Just an idea!

got to admit Prater-silva is a bit of a guess, based on their records

The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil, was announced earlier. Wanderlei Silva and Vitor Belfort are the coaches! How boss will that fight be while it lasts!

After reading the mma junkie thing, i'm not sure if we'll get to see it in the UK.... Think it runs at the same time as TUF 15.

Wanderlei Silva v Vitor Belfort, fuck thats excites me like a kid at Christmas. We'll get to see TUF Brazil from our friend the internet, TUF UK should be good.

Gaz "AV1" Aston I thought about it lasting a year but that's too long, I might do it in 6 month periods???

It looks like Hermes Franca's MMA career is done!!!
