Draft will begin now as the order has been set. You have 12 hours to make your pick and if 24 hours passes since we've seen you, you will be subject to replacement. As always you can email me a list of picks and I'll take the top fighter remaining. Or we can set up to text picks as well like I did with a few people last year.

Draft Order: Draft is a snake draft

email: tonygoyogana@yahoo.com

Rosters:

2 Flyweights: No promotional restriction (must be professional fighter)

2 Bantamweights-Heavyweights and 2 flex fighters: UFC, Strikeforce or Bellator

For the new people the Flex Fighter is like the flex position in fantasy football can be any weightclass and is an active fighter on your roster

2 women: No promotional restriction (must be professional fighter)

1 Wildcard Fighter: Fighter outside of UFC, Strikeforce or Bellator (must be professional) (I.E. Anthony "Rumble Johnson, Jorge Santiago or a ONE FC fighter). Wildcard fighters have a special scoring +4 for a win and -4 for a loss plus bonus catergory points (if earned)

Scoring is on the scoring template tab on the spreadsheet as well as a draft page, roster page and your own roster page. I turned off the ability for anyone to edit the sheet, but me. If you see a mistake (I promise they will happen) just let me know and I can double check everything.

Season begins with UFC 151 on September 1st.

SK, I wass talking about some of our fighters being on that card and it getting flipped like this.  Will be interesting to see what happens with the other fights.  Hope Ellenberger still gets to beat up Hieron

Ha! One of my last picks (undefeated Cat Zingano) not only will she pick up a win on the next Invicta card but she just got signed to SF!!! With how shallow that division is, title fight with Rousey is almost guaranteed.

Nice pick up.. but I think she loses her SF fight.

@kalibo have you even seen her fight? I doubt it since she's been out for a while and she's good as ****. She's the only person who's ever soundly beaten the 14-3 Barb Honchak (my other female pick) who has beaten Roxanne Modaferri and Felice Herrig in her last couple fights.

I was so shocked that Honchak was a Tapology underdog in her last fight, that was a steal for sure.  that is a good pick for sure.

Glad SK reminded me about the FA deadline.

I got both my females in the last 4 rounds and I think I have a better female roster than anyone but Wolf. Luckily the rest of Wolf's roster is garb.

Have to make a decision on Rafael de Freitas since he is out of Legacy 14 with an injury.  Ironically Dustin Ortiz has pulled out as well due to injury.  

Is the deadline 12am or 12 pm or 1159pm???  thanks SK.
