You've seen the staff members here at MMATorch try our hands at predicting UFC matches. We've had our varying degrees of success, and mostly we’ve done well. Now it's time for the ultimate test. We want to include you, the readers. Correctly predict the winners of UFC 67: ALL OR NOTHING, and you can become the official MMATorch Prediction Champion.   

To become the first MMATorch Prediction Champion, send in your picks for UFC 67 (see e-mail details below). The show will be held Saturday night, February 3, in Las Vegas. If you're able to correctly predict the most UFC 67 fights, you'll earn a head-to-head match-up against a MMATorch staff member for UFC 68.

Below is the complete fight card for UFC 67. Please send in your predictions with the following format -- (Winner / Method of Victory / Ending Round) 

PART A - Who wins?

PART B - How do they win? Methods of victory can be -- submission, KO, TKO, unanimous decision, split decision.

PART C - In what round do they win? All matches are 3 rounds. Decisions predictions do not require a round. 

Here’s a recent example of our Prediction Format for UFC Fight Night 8.

UFC 67: ALL OR NOTHING

1 - Dustin Hazelett vs. Diego Saraiva

2 - Sam Hoger vs. Ryoto Machida

3 - Frank Edgar vs. Tyson Griffin

4 - Terry Martin vs. Jorge Rivera

5 - Patrick Cote vs. Scott Smith

6 - Marvin Eastman vs. Quinton Jackson

7 - Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Eddie Sanchez

8 - John Halverson vs. Roger Huerta

9 - Anderson Silva vs. Travis Lutter

Our first two MMATorch Prediction Championship contenders will be determined by who correctly predicts the most matches at UFC 67. The winning MMATorch reader will compete head-to-head against the winning MMATorch staff member in predicting UFC 68 matches. This championship "match" will be detailed in our Staff Predictions article before UFC 68. There will be predictor profiles and the works, hopefully some good smacktalk between the contenders, leading up to this all-important first MMATorch championship event. 

To be eligible, you must submit at least Part A above. Part B and Part C are optional. In the event of a tie, the winners will be determined by who correctly predicts the most combined methods (Part B) and rounds of victory (Part C). In the further event of a tie, winners will be determined by Part B. In determining method/round of victory scores, KO and TKO will count as one in the same, as will split and unanimous decision. These methods of victory will only be differentiated between if a further tiebreaker is necessary.    

Please send in your predictions by 7:30 p.m. EST on Saturday February 3. Entries can be resubmitted up until this time. Please make a note in your e-mail that your entry is a resubmission, which will void your original entry. 

Remember -- you've got to play to win, so send in your predictions and show us why you deserve to reign supreme as the MMATorch Prediction Champion. It won't be an easy task securing a spot in the championship match, but once you're there, it'll be easier to stay on top. As the champion, you'll only have to compete with one other person. The rest of us, in the meantime, will be competing against each other to become the new number one contender for your title. We'll keep a lineage of the champions here on the site. As times goes on, there’ll be more and more people competing to be the new number one contender, so it’d be wise to get in on this contest now, for your best chance at securing your legacy in the record books early.  Good luck all!

PREDICTION FORMAT EXAMPLE: Anderson Silva by KO in Round 1
