UFC 127 Confidence Game UPDATE

By Rich Hansen, MMA Torch Columnist:

Whoops. I almost. screwed up the confidence game worse than Jorge Rivera deciding to fight after the illegal knee. Fortunately, I at least can rectify things.

Long time participant Tony Schuck sent in an entry well before the deadline had passed, and I flat missed it.

Making things worse, he scored 45 points, tying for the confidence points victory.

On top of that, he had more rounds and methods than Daniel Moore.

On top of that, I totally forgot to publish the fact that since we switched to the confidence game, I'm using a new tie-breaker method. a method which Tony loses.

Whoops.

So, here's what we're going to do.

Tony and Daniel will BOTH advance to UFC 128, where they will take on Confidence Game champion Skarz in a Three Way Dance for the title. I feel this is the most fair way to proceed. And since we aren't playing for anything other than bragging rights, and I am a dictator, that's how we're going to move on.

Here is the tie-breaking method that I forgot to publish since taking over the game. The FIRST tie-breaker is simply who picks the most winners, disregarding points. Tony went 7-5, Daniel went 6-6, both earning 45 points.

Tony also submitted a betting entry, but that entry did not contend for the title. Tony's results are below.

Tony Schuck - 45 points - $930
$500 on Penn for $500
$200 on Warburton for $430

Hansen's Analysis: I'm an idiot.
