@Siver! organized a Sherdog Game in May of 2022 called “Unranked Fighters who will be Ranked on 01-01-2023”.
The game rules were like this:
“Pick 1 unranked fighter from each division that you believe will be ranked on the 1st January 2023. It doesn't count if they are ranked next week, but drop back out before the start of the New Year; you get no points.
Scoring worked like this:
1 point for 15th, 2 points for 14th, and so on, with 15 points for being the number 1 ranked fighter. I'll give you 25 points if your pick is the champion on that date, but it's very unlikely.“
Siver! also said that the “person with the most points will win... something. Like, actually something, as long as I can get it to you.”
Those were my picks (end-result included):
FLYW: Jeff Molina – Ranked #13 – 3 Points!
BW: Umar Nurmagomedov – Ranked #11 – 5 Points!
FW: Lerone Murphy – Unranked
LW: Claudio Puelles – Unranked
WW: Jack Della Maddalena – Unranked
MW: Alex Pereira – UFC World Middleweight Champion – 25 Points!
LHW: Alexander Gustafsson – Unranked
HW: Jailton Almeida – Unranked
WSW: Joanna Jędrzejczyk – Unranked
WFLYW: Erin Blanchfield – Ranked #10 – 6 Points!
WBW: Josiane Nunes - Ranked #15 – 1 Point!
Total: 40 Points!

“Wow, @BoxerMaurits, you have overtaken Macaque's score of 36, and gone straight into the lead! You picked 2/3 female division's accurately, with newly ranked fighters, you picked a brand new UFC World Champion, and you also picked the highest scoring Flyweight so far in Jeff Molina! RESPECT!
I would like to officially congratulate @BoxerMaurits on his victory!
Our friend nailed it with a whopping 40 points, and defended his position as top rankings expert after taking an early lead!
Congratulations, dude!”
@Siver! then slid in my PM to ask me some personal information, and the next thing I know is that I get home from work and this nice little package sent by “Siver Siver” is waiting for me
“So this should be my prize that @Siver! was talking about for winning the Sherdog Game” is what I was thinking.
When I unpacked the box I found this!
@Siver! damn I don’t know how to thank you man, you really didn’t have to do this. I already told you this in PM, but I’m doing it again because I think you deserve a bigger platform!
Can’t explain how much I appreciate you mate. I’m more than ready to rock these in the gym
Also, it’s really nice that you want to congratulate the winner of a non-profit “just for fun” kinda MMA-game set up by yourself by sending him a present like this.
It’s something not many people will do bud, so you’re much appreciated!
This game was fun man, thanks for setting it up, and like @Eternalwarriorking said:
