May have a  little gathering at Dave.ca HQ for the fight if folks are not too “tired” from the night before.

As you may recall from the UFC 124 picks I did kinda alright with 54.5% of my picks being correct.

Now some of you have suggested I threw my last picks in order to have media folks Jessica Samuals and Chris Parry hype my other projects. Well, that is just dead wrong. Why would I do that when cash gifts seem to work better?

Well rest assured that this time around I have 100% of the picks correct and I will crush the other three competing with me. All in the Holiday Spirit of course.

Here is the hype video for UFC 125 and below that the picks. What do you think?

Not only is there a little gathering at Dave.ca HQ for the fight, but the Leafs will beat up on Montreal in the hours leading up to UFC.

As an aside, this post is not only to show how awesome my picks are versus a radio host, politician and whatever it is Chris does, but I am testing out how I can import data from a Google spreadsheet in a WordPress post without using iframe. The results of the fights will be posted in a spreadsheet which will then update the totals in the embedded spreadsheet. Many applications for this process if it works out so I am working through the details and having my mind whirl.

If your eyes just glazed over reading that, not to worry. Just know it is totally cool.

UFC 121 is tomorrow night from California and my panel of experts (read: people who actually responded to me) have their picks below.

In fact Chris Parry from the Vancouver Sun finally found some courage and posted his picks in his Vancouver Sun column as well.

You may notice that Minister Moore and DJ Jessica did not make all their picks. Either they forgot or will provide those picks at the conclusion of the fight and argue that they sent it in and I misplaced it.

So soak up the knowledge that is now before you and share your picks too.
