Oh, Canada! Gilbert Burns vs. Mike Malott headlines UFC Winnipeg in ...

I’m gonna level with you folks. I am sick as a dog tonight. So no pithy critique of the latest UFC card (UFC Winnipeg). Instead, I’m just going to hit you with our picks.

I do have the strength to sum up last week, though. We all got suckered into picking Jiri Prochazka and Azamat Murzakanov. Those losses meant most of us didn’t do great. Blaine Henry was the exception, though, going 11-6.

Stephie Haynes is our new leader. She leapfrogs me and puts me down into second (just ahead of Blaine). Stephie and I clung onto out top spots thanks to hitting our lock picks.

Scroll down to see where everyone is at tonight.
