Few of the bullet points of the new league...
1. Every fighter will have regular fights, no less than three scheduled per year.
2. Every fighter will receive a regular paycheck each month.
The fighters will get 3 regular season fights and those with the best records move on to the playoffs and then a championship round.
Sounds interesting wonder how much the fighters would get for a regular paycheck every month

Im big on tourneys, plus you get to see the best fighters make it into the tourney.
Not sure how the point system will work, but this will certainly gain my interest.
Also, the purse sounds pretty good

Would love to see it stick.

Now ... it's different management, but has anything you've seen out of the WSOF management given you faith they can get this going in the right direction?
I don't think a seasonal structure works in MMA. For any team-based sport, injuries are a factor, but if the Patriots are schedules to play on Sunday, they're playing on Sunday, with or without Tom Brady. If your fight is scheduled as part of a season, I just don't see how it's feasible with injuries being as prevalent as they are in this sport.

When they say the seven tournament champs will win a 1 million dollar purse does that mean each or share a 1 million dollar purse seven ways. Also the remaining 3 million is that spread across all 100+ fighters seven divisions or is it 3 million per division.
