Fighter Profiles
Vitor Belfort "The Phenom"
Belfort is a Former Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight champion, but that was a while back at UFC 12 and UFC 46. He is still regarded as one of the most dangerous fighters in the first round and has only fought high-level competition in his last fights including Weidman, Souza and two wins over Dan Henderson.
Gegard Mousasi
Mousasi is coming off a round one knockout and performance of the night vs. Thiago Santos. He is a well-rounded fighter known for his striking, and massive 61% takedown defense. He is currently ranked ninth in the middleweight division.
The Matchup
Vitor Belfort is 3-2 in his last five fights. All five fights ended in the first round. This shows just how dangerous Belfort is in the first round. Ironically he beat both main event fighters, Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping in 2013. He is known for his very aggressive forward blitz style.
He could have a chance vs. Mousasi who can be a slow starter. Mousasi is coming off of two wins and is known for been a cool and collected technical striker with good wrestling that he frequently uses to prevent takedowns.

Support SteemSports Ultimate Vote Betting … together we all can win!
How to Play
Vote on the main post to enter the bet (main post rewards will also be added to the Stake Pool).
Cast your Vote Bet on ONLY ONE outcome for which you bet on for the win (Multiple comment votes will be automatically disqualified by the script, unvote and revote counts as multiple votes and will be disqualified).
After 24 hours, the post and related game comments payout to the pool; remember 25% voters rewards are deducted from the total post payout value first as per Steem curation rules. Voters are rewarded in standard fashion in proportion to their Steem Power holdings.
The Stake Pool:
The remaining 75% of the total payout is paid out in 50% Steem Power and 50% in liquid currencies, the latter now varies in payout ratio after the new fork. To make the process less complicated, we have decided to use all paid out SBD to buy Steem in the internal market to create a grand total Steem Stake Pool.
30% of the Stake Pool will be retained, of which 15% will go to the writer/sports presenter of the post, and the 15% balance towards editing, development and advertising.
70% of the Stake Pool will be held until the event/game outcome is determined.
Once the winning outcome is determined, we will execute a proprietary developed script that will divide and pay out the Steem rewards equally, using the Power Up method, to Mass Distribute SP to all participants that voted on the main post as the entrance fee as well as voted on the correct comment representing the winning outcome.
Only participants with a Reputation of 35 or more will qualify to earn SP rewards, but non-qualifiers can still vote and comment in support of the redistribution initiative.

@steemsports in the unlikely event that when the Stake Pool is divided up between the winners and the nomenclature resolution goes below the third decimal place (example: 0.0001), then Steem decimal restrictions won’t allow a payout and the pool will carry over to the next game.

Vitor Belfort "The Phenom"
I bet for Vitor Belfort "The Phenom" too.
Why is Mousasi the fav?
Belfort looks more dangerous!
Belfort means PrettyStrong in French and that's enough for me, since I know close to nothing about UFC.
Belfort just looks a whole lot stronger :)
I vote for Belfort
Most popular bets go for Mousasi

Going with the favorite Mousasi.
Mousasi
I would love to see Vitor knock his block off, but he's fading fast without TRT scapegoating anymore. Mousasi should take this as long as he protects his head in the first round.
mousasi
Mousassi
Victor for the win
Gegard Mousasi all the way. Victor is out the door
I go Belfort :)
Mousasi to win ! :))
Mousasi to win
Can you please tweak the system so instead of disqualifying multiple comment votes, use their first vote.
I'd love to participate in this more but I have people following my votes, perhaps if you made the above tweak I could vote near closing time.
Please consider this or tell me if im misunderstanding something :)
when you vote you have users on your trail. When you vote they vote. That is not you multiple voting. It is based off user id, so you are all good:). There are a few voters here that have people on there curation trail, including me. :) @ausbitbank ....also lets say one of your followers on your trail comes to this post and dosen't like your choice, they can just as easily remove there vote and vote on the other.
I understand that you can tell who's voting, and I'm more worried about my followers in this scenario then myself..
The situation I was trying to avoid goes like this:
See what I mean ?
Under your system I would need to always vote immediately or not at all, and have my followers know they have to change their votes later or they end up just donating voting power with no prize even if they chose correctly immediately..
However If you only count the first vote registered, and people with trails promise to say only vote on an option after ~18hrs then nobody ever has to have their vote invalidated :)
Just turn off your bots and let this platform run more organic, most problems are having to do with these auto systems.
Im not running any bots, i wish people would read..
