In short, it works similar to the Tapology Survivor game in the sense that it continues every week until there's a winner (or in some cases in this game no winner) but instead of picking your fighters, get assigned a random fighter from the upcoming UFC card and hope they win.
FORMAT:
1) To enter, simply say that you want to enter at the start of a new game. The length of the games depend entirely on how long it takes to either find a winner or eliminate everyone.
2) Then, you will randomly be assigned a fighter from the upcoming UFC card. This will be decided by me using this site I found wheeldecide.com and putting all the fighters names on a wheel and going through the list of players one by one and spinning the wheel to decide which fighter they get. I'll make a very low quality video of the draw and post it here to show I'm not deliberately messing with anyone in particular. It might mean that some people end up with the same fighter but that doesn't affect the game as it's more of an everybody fighting for themselves kinda game rather than a head to head game.
3) If your randomly assigned fighter wins their fight then you're through to the next round. If their fight get cancelled or postponed then I'll count it as a loss as it would be considered unlucky. Draws and no contests will also count as losses for the same reason. This happens every week until there is only one left and they will be the winner. In a unique twist to make the game as stupid as possible, if everyone eventually goes out, then nobody wins the game and the game will be marked in the record books as "nobody ******* won" or something like that. For example, if there are 2 or 3 people left and they all have losing fighters then nobody wins the game. I feel this also adds weight to the game as you have to be REALLY lucky to be a winner as you literally have to be luckier than every other competitor to be the only one left standing!
WHAT DOES THE WINNER GET?
A place on the list of winners that will be displayed on the opening post of every new game and their current AV put on the new game poster (see below) in the middle of the horseshow so they effectively become the poster boy/girl/other for the new game!
Any questions, just ask! And remember, please don't take this game too seriously! I mean, it's practically a satire of the Survivor Game when you think about it lol!

Then in the 4th, even though I'm a big fan of Steven Peterson, I know better than to go against the wheel favorite PiggyBank and his tagalong team partner kushycake who have Lucas Alexander.
After a FW banger, in the 6th fight we'll find Schwerindustrie praying for Albert Duraev to remember he's a wrestler vs. Chidi.
After 2 more FLW fights I get to hold my breath and see if Nate Landwehr can survive Austin Lingo's early blitz
Then after our community nap thanks to Holm/Santos, while the rest of us grab some popcorn and enjoy violence, Nuggetheel gets to most likely set the world record for breathholding and sweating out Texas judging to see if Cory Sandhagen gets the nod over Chito.

In a round about way, I did give you guys a sneaky 6 legged parlay if anyone had the foresight to bet it!

Lucky Bastard Viewing Guide for UFC 287
First up kushycake and I need the hype to be real for 18 year old Raul Rosas Jr.
In the 2nd fight Nuggetheel needs Santiago Ponzinibbio to upset Big Mouth
Kkkomboo has favorite Adrian Yanez in the 3rd fight
If Masvidal actually pulls this off for PiggyBank then I will consider it unequivocal proof that the wheel has mystic abilities
and in the main event Schwerindustrie needs Adesanya to buck history and set up the trilogy fight
