 Who wants to do a UFC Draft?

So, taking the idea from Jesse handler of Rally Jackson, I'm gonna start a fantasy MMA league here. I'm be scoring a little bit differently than he does I think, but the idea is pretty much the same...

Sign up, draft 8-10 fighters and get points based on how well they perform over the next year. I'm only gonna use UFC fights, not as a slight to other organizations, but because it's a solid baseline for points. I can easily say that being on a fight night or TUF finale is worth slightly less than being on PPV, but how do I rank a fight in Japan without knowing their level of distribution and what not? I'd be very open to adding WEC though, if enough people are interested.

I figure UFC 97 is April 18th, we could draft starting the night after and go from there. I'll figure out and post the points once I see if anyone even wants in on this.

I talked to you about this previously, and you know my answer. Count me in. This should be fun.

How would this thing run? Just a draft and then there some sort of fantasy league ala fantasy football?

If a wholly Great One rules, the people hardly know that he exists. Lesser men are loved and praised, still lesser ones are feared, still lesser ones are despised. How thoughtful one must be in what one says! The work done, business takes its course, and all people think: "We are free." - Lao Tzu

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - Ronald Reagan

Yeah. You have your team and you get points for their performances. The better their position on a card, the better they fight... More points.

I'd be up for this too. Plus it would give me a reason to follow UFC/MMA a little closer.

Let me know what to do and when.

Looks like we've got at least 6, so I'll work on a point scale, get a sign up list and plan for draft on April 19th. We'll do a random draft order and use snake draft style.

Two question for everyone who wants to play...

WEC, yes or no?

Trades, yes or no?

-Mike

WEC: No. The fighters there aren't as established and well known, except a few exceptions.

Trade: Yes. Drafts are fun. So why not make it even moreso?

Here's the point set up I have in mind. If you have any questions or suggestions go ahead and discuss.

Card Televised on Spike
Preliminary Bout = 1 Point
Televised Preliminary Bout = 2 Points
Main Card Bout = 3 Points
Main Event Bout = 4 Points

Card Televised on PPV
Preliminary Bout = 2 Points
Televised Preliminary Bout = 3 Points
Main Card Bout = 4 Points
Main Event Bout = 6 Points

BONUS POINTS
Win Via Stoppage In First Round = 4 Points
Win Via Stoppage In Second Round = 3 Points
Win Via Stoppage In Third, Fourth or Fifth Rounds = 2 Points
Win Via Judges Decision = 1 Point

Submission of the Night = 4 Points
Knockout of the Night = 4 Points
Fight of the Night = 2 Points

Win A Title Bout = 3 Points
Defend Your Title = 4 Points
Lose Title Bout = 1 Point

PENALTY POINTS
Miss Weight = -1 Point
Point Deduction In Bout = -1 Point
Positive Drug Test = Forfeit of all bonus points from bout
