For years there was a fantasy giant (MMAWeekly Forums) and a bunch of local shows such as FightHQ and other retreads in the fantasy fighting community. Junkie Fighting Championships has found many ways to further the fantasy fighting world though. Some of the things they have provided are...
- A constant news source
- Multiple sets of fighter rankings
- A true fight finder
- Live scoring spreadsheets
These are great fantasy advancements that this league has provided to the landscape of fantasy mma, but this is far from their greatest achievment. They have given the fantasy fighting leagues of MMAWeekly something it needed for such a long time. They have given the MMAF and UFF a true feeder system. We needed that midlevel show to prove to us who can hack it and who cant. Well now we have that. At times I must admit I have struggled in the JFC because every fighter wants to beat me and use me as a stepping stone to the big show. To the show where the fighters are the best in the world, and not just the best for a period of time. I have lost due to punchers chances, but indeed I have lost and earned respect for many fighters here.
I wanted to say that I appreciate guys who have started in the JFC and have dreamed about fighting in the premier leagues of fantasy. Let me say this though, you have a long way to go. The JFC has a lot of fighters that have a lot of ability, but as proven by epkenpo and myself, when the greatest fighter in the history of your league meets legends, he crumbled.
I truely believe that one day and possibly one day soon the JFC will be on the same level with Weekly as far as fantasy fighting goes. In addition I truely believe that Junkie Fighting Championships has some really good fighters, but really good does not cut it when you fight legends. Soon enough you will have your chance to prove your worth in a battle for the ages as me and my fellow warriors from MMAWeekly will prove while you have come along way, your not quite there yet.
The warning shot has been fired, I suggest you prepare for war.
Disclaimer: Details will follow in the coming weeks, but I think we must all battle with respect.
This is not a battle between warriors thinking one Website is better then the other, but this will be a battle about fantasy leagues. This is not a place or forum to come and bash MMAWeekly or for MMAWeekly to bash MMAJunkie. I think its best for all parties if that is avoided.
That being said some smack talk between forums and the fights and fighters is and always will be part of the fantasy landscape.
