Noticed something weird in the totals so this took a bit longer than I'd hoped.

Thauros had 2 events missing from his totals. PLEASE CHECK THESE TOTALS! If your results seem off let me know and I'll check em.

Finally I am going to do something big for this weekend:

IF YOU PICK CM PUNK TO WIN HIS FIGHT AND HE WINS, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY GET 5 POINTS.

IF YOU ALSO PICK THE ROUND AND OR METHOD I WILL ADD AN EXTRA POINT FOR EACH TO ANOTHER FIGHT YOU PICK CORRECTLY.

You have an hour to convince me this is a bad idea.

This offer only applies if you pick CM Punk because seriously, who is going to pick CM Punk besides the RNG and one other dude?

REMEMBER: If you pick CM Punk to win his fight and he wins, you will receive 5 points. You will receive one additional point for getting the round and/or method correct added to another correct fight. So you can get a total of 4 additional points for picking Punk.

We live in a world where Michael Bisping and Tyrone Woodley are UFC champions. I believe in CM Punk.

Even if I wasn't married to my current gimmick, I still wouldn't select CM Punk unless the payout matched the odds (+350ish last I checked).

We've had much bigger underdogs and I've never offered this deal!

With the way goonweight works, underdogs are self-normalizing without odds, because we're not risking our previous winnings or working from a bank and choosing our degree of risk. Everyone has to pick the same amount, and there is ultimately only one final correct answer which translates to your place in the overall standings. This means that if you pick an underdog and that underdog wins, you'll get stronger rankings push than if you had correctly picked a favourite, because fewer people will have picked that fight correctly by virtue of it having been an underdog.

See?

No, I get it and I like the idea but it still wouldn't influence my decision. It's still a risky pick.

With that said, Anything can happen in The Octagon and I honestly hope Punk wins.

I don't believe CM Punk has a real chance for a win but as soon as five extra points are thrown into the mix I'm going to pick the bad choice regardless because gently caress it, right?
