Palpites SUPER FIGHTS scoring system

Predictions will be made by the SUPER LUTAS team . At the end of the 2026 season, whoever obtains the most points will be the team's 'best bettor'. The scoring system will be simple. Whoever correctly predicts the winner gets one point. Whoever correctly predicts how the fight will end earns three points, and if the bettor accurately predicts the positive result (example: knockout in R1, submission in R3, decision by points), the bettor wins five points.
