My team will be called The Haters.
1st Round Pick- Daniel Henderson
2nd Round Pick- Jon Fitch

Question- What's the deal with guys like Anderson Silva, Brandon Vera, or any other guy that will fight in multiple weight classes? Of course Silva is a MW, but what does Vera count as?

Submitted by erict3108 on July 16, 2008 - 1:27am.

I believe TBC said his rules

I believe TBC said his rules were if a guy fought twice in the other weight class (i.e Vera twice at LHW, that during the next scoring period he would be scored as LHW). If I'm wrong TBC can correct me. As for now Henderson will be a MW. Also if you can post your picks going forward in the Forum, not the blog that says "make your picks here" that would be awesome. Thanks man.

Captain - In the other

Captain - In the other league, we made sure it was twice in a row at a different weight class. That way, a guy like Silva or Penn could bounce back and forth and still maintain his original weight class.

BTW, I like all 3 picks... Rua was my next target for the same reason you said King, Wiman I was hoping would hang around later because as you said I really like how he's been lately, and Swick looked great vs. Davis. Could be a dark horse in the WW division.
