My MMAPlayground picks: Winners & Losers Edition

My mmaplayground results:
I picked 5 of the fights correctly.
I had my suspicions about Hardy following his consecutive losses to Condit and Lytle.
As well I had my suspicions that Brandao might gas and lose if the guy survived the first round, as such Elkins was a live underdog.
Having seen Struve get clipped by Nelson I thought Lavar was worth it on the long shot.
As for Teixera, I picked him, but I thought he might struggle a bit with Octagon jitters. Not the case. He came after Kingsbury and put the hurt-icane on him. straight up.
As for Bigfoot, I saw more in Cain's loss than was probably there, and he decisively put the beatdown on Bigfoot as soon as he caught that kick and ran him down. Impressive beatdown by Cain in that one.
As for Varner, well, no one saw that one coming after he had struggled in smaller shows against lesser known competition. My hat off to him.
