Yeah, not too successful with much of this. I listened to Sean Sheehans podcast running over his from last year too, he claimed 5 correct, but in reality he got 3 and gave himself 2 that were kinda right!
If I can be bothered, I may try and bash out another 20 for this year.

Yeah, same with me on both. I'm sure I heard a wee while back that Chandler has one fight left on his Bellator deal, so I figured with him not champion there any more, it may be time for him to test himself at the top.

Dammit, I wish I'd have thought about the DC one Merc, that seems like a really good shout.
