As 2006 comes to a close, there are a bunch of big events happening in the MMA world and we like to hear your thoughts on a couple of them. The IFL closes out the year with the World Team Championships at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, we’d like to know which team you think will win and why. We’d also like your picks for who will win in the UFC’s final show of the year, UFC 66: Liddell Vs. Ortiz.
