Fantasy UFC/Strikeforce/Bellator MMA League

  Welcome to Tapology’s first ever UFC/Strikeforce /Bellator fantasy mma draft, team will pick fighters, two from each weight division (HW,LHW, MW,WW,LW,BW,FTHW,+2 Reserves) Sorry no woman’s division. Fighters performances will gain a team points as shown below.

-Win, over title holder +10, in title defense +7, in main event +6, in main card +4, in undercard +2

-Lose, to title holder +4, in main event +2, in main card -1, in undercard -2

-Bonus , Finish in 1st +2, loser -2, Finish in 2nd +1, loser -1, Finish in 3rd +.5, loser -.5, Draw +0, No Contest +0, KO of Night +2, SUB of Night +2, Fight of the night +1 each fighter.

    The draft will begin as soon as enough people sign up, 12 teams is the target. The draft is in a snake style format.  To fill a team you must fill each weight class with two fighters, reserve can be filled by a fighter of any weight class. Each fighter can only be drafted once, by one team, all Strikeforce/Bellator and UFC fighters are available to be drafted.

    One season runs for one year, each fighter you draft is contracted for 2 fights, this insures that each team is given an equal number of fights, so for example HW spot one is filled by Cain Velasquez, he begins the season with 2 fights, if he does not make two fights you may drop him and add a free agent who will then be contracted with the number of fights Cain had remaining. If Cain has more than two fights you may add a fight to his contract by removing it from another fighter on your team.  In essence each team has 30 (28+2 bonus) fights to play with during a year. Reserves have zero fight contracts if you move a reserve into a weight class he then has the number of fights of the fighter he replaced.

   I will be the commish and will score each fight after it has happened, only UFC , Bellator and Strikeforce events count for points. Trading of fighters is allowed but must be approved by myself the commish. Please feel free to post any questions or suggestions as I am sure this is far from perfect.

starting at 5 minutes if you guys wanna see it. this is the vila warren fight 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=194xurSJ7bA

Truth be told ,Warren did look like he was crying and his corner was trying to console him.

I taped the card, I'm watching it now. What did you guys think of the West/Nogueira decision? I wasn't looking closely but I thought Nogueira was winning. 

Also, I'm sad Vila beat Warren tbqh. I love Vila and I dislike Warren, I also picked Vila and have him on my fantasy squad, but I really wanted Pitbull to be the one to end his reign of terror (and bad decisions).

I think this fight will affect Warren psychologically.

Wow, just saw Reis get ko'd brutally, that takes away from Freire a bit too. I think he's great but Freire's stock has gone down tonight.

Just watched the Vila fight, DAMN! That was amazing! I knew Warren's strategy of taking beatings then winning on cardio/bad decisions wouldn't work for him long, but I didn't expect his chin to go this quickly. I have Freire by KO1 now. Not to take away from Vila though, he looked absolutely amazing, he's got to be a heavy favorite to win the tournament. And he's on my team :)

@****estar, 2 guys invented fantasy football, but none of the hundreds of thousands of people who play it know the names of either one of them.
**** happens.

@****e. beast i believe is 13 y/o. give a little slack. i'll remind him to give you credit.

Is it that hard to trace back from 2 leagues? I would expected nothing less on the internet, and also rotisserie football, one of the first types of fantasy football is in honor of the first guys who made it, they worked in a resturant that made rotisserie chickens, although thier names (which can probably be found) are forgotten thier idea is honored.

Also, I've been in 2 MMA fantasy leagues for the past 2 years, so it's not exactly like it's a brand new idea. You just have a slightly different set of rules than my other 2 leagues.
