UFC 81 Results

The UFC 81 results text below was borrowed from MMAJunkie.com (my favorite haunt on the web). If you've never been to MMAJunkie.com, you're missing out. Excellent news, intelligent discussions.

I guessed 7 out of 9 fights correctly for UFC 81. But I'm not celebrating. I haven't yet redeemed the horrid analysis and predicting I did for UFC 80 (guessing an embarrassing 2 out of 10 correctly). If I do well for UFC 82, I'll feel a little better.

NOTE: Wow! Though I guessed two wrong, those two fights were sick! I was jazzed that newcomer Tim Boetsch absolutely destroyed David Heath. What a fight. Congrats Tim! I was also really happy for Big Nog. The guy comes back from serious beatings time and again. What heart. Congrats Champ! Well-earned victory.

Now for the results. Red marks fights I did not guess correctly.
