I have just caught up with all of the discussion going on about MMAWeekly's fantasy fighting
This is my thoughts
Much repect to MMAWeekly for being the mother/father of the JFC, since KoA got his start over at Weekly.
Major props to them and their fighters for coming over here to take on all comers (As I have done, going over there).
They definitely have some amazing fighters over there, so no need to say they're s--- (unless you so it in a youtube vid
)
So, Major props to them
Fighters like BB, srda, rees, lines, Bonzy and Skidds have come over and done well. TOIAP is stepping his game up after going on a downslide, which happens. I'm sure there are a load more that I haven't mentioned
But the fact is, the the JFC is leaving MMAWeekly's fantasy leagues behind. We have made so many upgrades on your original design, which is why we are doin so well. I honestly think that the UFF and MMAF have to make changes in order to improve.
Just my thoughts

I'd like to know what upgrades you have done. Maybe if you guys got rid of hedging your picks
Also what changes do you think the UFF and MMAF need to improve?
They are two different leagues. You do know they have different scoring methods for determining a KO/sub. Which one does Junkie use?

sub due to strikes = KO etc
Some of the things I think you guys need to work on to improve:
Less leagues - The UFF and MMAF are enough for the UFC events. No need for leagues like the MMATF
Becuase you have those 2 big leagues, I think you guys need to play on the rivalry between them more than you do. That way you could distinguish yourselves even more from leagues like the JFC. The end of year fights are great (I am 1-0
:lol: ), but I don't think its enough. I think you need to have a number of people running each league instead of just one, so that they can promote the rivalry and help out. I would also love to see cross promotion matchups. Whats the point in having 2 leagues if they only meet up once a year
Rees has mentioned most of the others I was going to say

Let me say something, you can build a billion dollar stadium, buy the best announcers, and have the best facilities, but at the end of the day, if your fighters are not better then your just no there yet.

I believe the UFF changed it. Why not address hedging if you really want to distinguish yourselves?

You have no idea what the MMATF is. It is from a invite only site(file sharing) and they use some of our guys to help them, its not a Weekly league.

The leagues were no created so they could compete with one another at the end of the year. Back then there wher not that many people willing to lend a hand.

Kingofabuelos-CEO & President
Showdown-VP of Operations

That is because if something comes up the people decide. No need to assign cool name to people like Blue who obviously takes the Stalin route. Who also lends a hand over there but is not a mod with special powers or a cool sub name.. It's running a fantasy league not rocket science.
VP of Talent, :lol:
CEO & President of JEC/Commissioner of the Junkie Athletic Commission :lol: :lol:

Hedging is awesome

Maybe I should stop playing fantasy football because some joe mcgee in Deleware invented it in 1987, and I dont acknowledge that every free agent I pick up.

Its been talked about for 40 years. Whichever way it started is hard to overturn.

If you are going to bash him and call him an idiot maybe you should stop playing.

I dont get if people from weekly think were so inferior, why compete here?
Its to win, and then say how bad we suck.

I have nothing but respect for weekly, I havent played the idiot card, or you suck.
Yeah I said losers in jest, because I got pissed when I read the original post.
Its like someone knocking on your front door, you open, he tells you what a piece of s**t you are.
And they want us to sit there and say nothing, on top that show respect.
it makes no sense.

I know. I remember. I was just wondering if you remember what brought up that discussion again in the first place.
It was a post I made (Yes Dre and Meat, my ego know no bounds :lol: )
http://forums.mmaweekly.com/showthread.php?t=15114&highlight=submission+due+to+strikes
which led to a huge discussion/arguement about it. Which in turn led to Daywork making this thread

He is just trying to hype up his return to the JFC league. How can he be representing a site from which he just got the boot from? I really don't get why Weekly came up other than to ask him why he got banned? He did not mention that Weekly was superior, he just said everyone sucks.

If you dont think there is going to be some flack for "Show is some respect, we invented this" your nuts dude.
Bash the JFC all you want, there will be proud guys from Junkie defending it.

Both sites are great, both have good posters and fantasy fighters.
Why knock either site? I mean, we are all the same. We all love and support the great sport of MMA.
