Just wondering if anyone knows how the regular season fights are determined. Random draw? Match maker

The reason why i want to know is its going to be very interesting of who fights who in the second set of regular season fights due to the point system.

Example

Shawn Jordan

So far there's no matches made yet, and there could be some real potential good matches made.

 Also people who have zero points will really have to go for a finish in the first round to try to make it into the playoffs

I really like what this organization is trying to do

@Pie2Munch According to Ray Sefo and Carlos Silva themselves, Sefo and a "team" determine the second round matches for the regular season. That came from a scrum they did after the first event. They didn't specify how they'd match them up, though (i.e. winners vs. losers, winners vs. winners, etc).
