Always check the rules on the official sites themselves for any updates and special circumstances to be aware of., I’m breaking them down here for you.

The scoring for fantasy UFC is broken into two categories.

MMA Moves Scoring – Fighters Rack Up Points During The Fight

Notes: Significant Strikes are any Distance Strike or Clinch/Ground Strikes that are considered “Power Strikes” by official scorers.

Advances include:

Fight Conclusion Points – Who Wins and Which Round

Picking Fighters – Drafting Your Team

The drafting of a team is simple in process but difficult in optimizing it to win.

Your roster consists of 6 fighters (changed October 3rd, 2016 from 5 to 6) under your salary cap of $50,000.

You want fighters who win.
