Beat The Fight Guys: Panel picks for UFC 211 – Enter for your chance to win prizes
On the SFLC Podcast, during the week of a UFC Pay-Per-View, we assemble a panel to make our picks against the listeners of the show, and the readers of My MMA News. The dais will include members of the MMA Media, UFC fighters, broadcasters and others. While we make our picks, we challenge you to do the same.
If you can defeat the panel and finish in the TOP 2 overall, we will reward you with prizes from the sponsor of Beat The Fight Guys, Menacing Valor. The T-Shirt of your choice from this great company could be yours if you are successful. The contest is free to enter.
We make our picks for the entire UFC 211 main card, as well as the FS1 preliminary card. The winner is chosen, with also the finish. It can be anything from a unanimous decision, to a 1st round knockout. These will be used as tie breakers in case they are needed. Two ways you can submit your picks, email them to SFLCPodcast@gmail.com or you can do it through this link sflcpodcast.com/contact-us.html
The deadline to submit your picks will be Saturday, May 13 at 5PM EST.
The panel this week includes myself, co-hosts of the show Ryan Sprague, Steve Dunn, UFC bantamweight Lauren Murphy (@LaurenMurphyMMA) and New York Ric (@NewYorkRic) from The MMA Hour on MMA Fighting.
Here are our UFC 211 picks. Good Luck!
