Fighter vs Writer: UFC's Mike Wilkinson predicts UFC 163 (The Results)

Fighter vs Writer: UFC's Mike Wilkinson predicts UFC 163 (The Results)

by Ben Heather @benheather

On Saturday night Mike Wilkinson stepped in to the hot seat to challenge Kingdom MMA in the latest Fighter vs Writer feature.

This week we put forward our very own predictions Guru (we hoped) Tommy Strong and hoped he could follow in my footsteps and get the win after the past two events. At UFC 161 Chris was beaten by Jim Alers and then last time out Jack drew with Phil Harris. So it was about time that we got back to winning ways.

Below you will be able to see the results as the fights happened. It was a closely contested battle and Mike certainly proved to be a respectable opponent for Tommy.

The Scoring

If you predict the correct winner of the fight you will get one point and if you predict the correct method of victory you will get an extra point. However, if the fight ends in a stoppage and you predict the round as well the method you could earn a third bonus point. If the fight goes the distance you can only earn a maximum of two points.
