There is confusion in the MMA community about measurement and naming. The purpose of this article is to introduce standard MMA measurements for everyday use, and to confuse outsiders. If you ever wanted to know how many Abbots you can lift, or how many Zulus it takes you to run 100 Chois, wonder no more.

Length: Chois (Ch) 2.18m or 7ft 2in. The total length of one Hong Man Choi

Reflectivity: Danas (Da) Unit less fraction. The % of light reflected by Dana White’s head is 1Da

Torque: Fedors (Fe) 100N*m or 73.75lb*ft. The average torque of one Fedor armbar.

Who wins the bonuses for the TUF Finale? A little variation of our betting game here at Bloodyelbow, you make picks of who you think will win Fight of the Night, Submission of the Night, and KO of the Night, and your prediction for the time and round of the Sub/KO/TKO to be used as a tiebreaker if need be. Every correct pick is one point, fight times are only needed in event of a tie.

The winner of this game gets the coveted “Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence”

My Picks:

Fight of the Night

Phillipe Nover Vs Efrain Escudero 2:43 R3 I predict that Efrain weathers an early storm from Phillipe, turns it around in the second, and gets a submission in the third. Barring a quick KO or submission, this should be a wild fight.

Submission of the Night

Vinicius Magalhaes 4:32 R1 Time for some Brazillian Jiu Jitsu Black Magic courtesy of Vinny. This should happen as long as he doesn’t get hit in the face. There will be a submission, and it will be awe inspiring.

KO of the Night

Krzysztof Soszynski 1:53 R2 He’s from Manitoiba, I had to work him in somehow. I normally bet against the guy with the most tattoos, but in Krzysztof’s case I’ll make an exception.

Those are my picks. Please add your own to make this fun.
