UFC 97 Contest Winner!

By Brandt DeLorenzo on Apr 30, 2009

I know it took quite a while to finalize the results, but there are a few reasons why!

Anderson Silva was the heavy favorite with everyone picking him to beat Thales Leites. Nobody picked that Silva would win via decision though.

Only one person picked Mauricio “Shogun” Rua to defeat Chuck Liddell!

There was a decent mix of picks for the other three fights on the main card, but the clear winner (with 30 out of a possible 65 points) is Edwin Alvarez!

Edwin will soon receive Chuck Liddell’s book, an Anderson Silva Round 5 figure, and a Cage Rage (I’m fresh out of King of the Cage DVD’s!) DVD for his picks.

The UFC 98 contest is being put together, so keep checking back for your chance to win 5 prizes ($100+ worth of fun MMA stuff) next month!
