MMAPlayground.com - Get into it!

I'm not the best at predicting the outcome of MMA fights but at the same time, I am certainly not the worst either. I say this with confidence due to the fact that I currently rank 985 / 5917 on MMAPlayground.com.

If you have not had the chance to sign up to MMAPlayground, you really are missing out on a great site... a free site too. MMAPlayground allows you to make fight predictions and scores you based on the outcome of the fights whether by win/loss, which round/decision ended the fight and how the fight ended KO or submission.

Points are allocated for accuracy of the prediction following the MMA event outcome which gives me a chance to brag a bit about how lucky I have been considering the unpredictable nature of the sport.

There is also 'fantasy' wagers between each player and you start out with $500 virtual bucks which rises and falls depending on whether you decide to bet or not and also virtual cash is given when you correctly predict the outcome of an MMA fight.

I think there is a cash prize for the winner at the end of the year but I play to see if I have what it takes to learn from the sport and apply my predictions based on the style of fight each fighter brings rather than the popularity of the fighter. MMAPlayground gives me a central repository of all my predictions past and present so I can tell you that I need a bit more work to crack the top 100.

Here are the details posted on the main page:

Hello and welcome to MMAPlayground.com, a FREE fantasy MMA website for Pride FC and UFC mixed martial arts fans with two games to be played. The first is simple: correctly pick the winner for an upcoming fight to score points. Score additional points for guessing the fights conclusion.

At the end of each MMAPlayground.com fight season the person with the most points will be announced and win a prize (this season's prize is $500*).

The second is a fantasy wager system, where you can earn fantasy dollars by both guessing a fight's specific outcome and by making bets with fellow mixed martial arts fans here on MMAPlayground.com. So, invite your friends and join the community today! Happy gaming!


RANT: Who freakin' knew that GSP would get KTFO anyway! - I'm still pissed about that. /End of Rant.

I also enjoy the up to date news headlines on the main page but the real gem is beneath all of that in a very active forum of people (just like you) that share a passion for the sport of MMA. Very cool, inviting and knowledgeable people on that forum that make your time spent there enjoyable.

The best part is that it's not too late to join either... it's free so get on over there and join in on the fun and the well deserved bragging rights.

The next upcoming fight for MMAPlayground predictions is UFC 72: Victory which is happening on Saturday, June 16. Over the next few days I'll be ranting...err... writing about the fighting style match-ups of each fight while revealing my picks for who I'd like to win (notice how clever I am by saying who I'd like to win rather than who will win... that's because I rank 985 / 5917 and not 1 / 5917 ).

(Just don't use my picks to bet your house on please and if you do and win then feel free to cut a piece of cheddah off for me!!!)

Remember that Ultimate Fight Night 10 is on Spike TV tonight at 9pm ET/PT to get you worked up for UFC 72 this Saturday. Get your UFC 72 picks in before Saturday!
