The only mentioning of the self-proclaimed Fantasy Fighting God is that he lost and was unable to even get into JUF, and barely making the Notable fight list.
Showdown planned to make one of these back in the day.

'''Junkie Fighting Championship''' (JFC) is a [[United States|U.S.]]-based [[mixed martial arts fantasy league]] (MMA) organization, currently recognized as the largest MMA Fantasy promotion in the world. And while other mixed-martial-arts fantasy leagues have sprung up, none is as big or has as much top-notch talent as the JFC.
The JFC began as a single-event tournament to find the world's best fantasy fighters irrespective of their style, and was based upon Internet fighting. Although there were a few limited number of rules, fighting in the JFC was marketed as ''no holds barred'', and contests were often violent and brutal. Early JFC fights were less sport than spectacle, which led to accusations of brutality and "human [[c--- fighting]]" by Senator [[John McCain]] and others. Political pressures eventually led the JFC into the underground, as [[pay-per-view]] providers nixed JFC programming, nearly extinguishing the JFC's public visibility.
As political pressure mounted, the JFC reformed itself, slowly embracing [[Mixed martial arts fantasy rules#Unified Rules of MMA Fantasy|stricter rules]], becoming sanctioned by state athletic commissions, and marketing itself as a legitimate sporting event. Dropping the ''no holds barred'' label and carrying the banner of ''mixed martial arts fantasy league,'' the JFC has emerged from its political isolation to become more socially acceptable, regaining its position in internet legitimacy.
With a cable internet deal and expansion into Canada, Europe and new markets within the United States, the JFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. JFC programming can now be heard on [[Tagg Radio]] in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]], as well as in 34 other countries worldwide.
==History==
The concept for a [[tournament]] to discover the world's best fantasy fighting style was the brainchild of [[Kingofabuelos]], a western-Ohio restaurant manager, in 2008 while researching martial arts fantasy leagues for a marketing client. KOA set out to start the league on mmajunkie.com. The JFC was originaly launched in March of 2008 in the General Discussion forums. In April of 2008, the JFC finally found a home with its own sub-forum. This new addition attracted many new faces, and from there, the JFC took major leaps and bounds, eventually creating Team Training Camps, FAQ's, Events and Schedules, Record Books and even Rankings and Fight Finder.
===Junkie Employment===
At 1st, the JFC was a 1 trick pony. KingofAbuelos ran the entire show by himself. Everything from setting up events, to creating a rankings process. He eventually gained employment from mmajunkie.com, and therefore, the show became overwhelming for him to handle solo. After discussion with numurous candidates, KOA eventually made the announcement that he was hiring Showdown as his VP of Operations. From this point, Showdown took over the organization of the league, which would include organizing events, compiling information, setting up matches and creating new concepts for the league. For months, the show was on KOA and Showdown. At this point, the league only had 50 members and was manageable. As the league took off, and hit the 100 mark, the JFC knew a new addition had to be made.
Castellammarese took over for Showdown one evening when the systems were crashing, and voluntarily filled the void. Thus doing so, the JFC realized it had a great eye for spotting talent with Castellammarese, and offered him the position of JFC VP of Talent. With this addition to the staff, the JFC became a much more efficient company, and their stock rose instantly. Knowing that the JFC only lacked in a few areas to put them over the top, they looked to acquire a great statistics leader, and found that JFC fighter Dougdrex had all the tools to get the job done. He was announced as Senior Statistical Programmer and heads up all JFC rankings. His improved additions to the rankings as well as scoring log, solidified the JFC as the top MMA Fantasy League.
===Mainstream emergence===
Eventually people around the web caught wind of the JFC and began to flock to it to see what the fuss was about. It started simply by a few new guys showing up to participate, but soon, MMAWeekly caught wind of it, and soon the JFC found itself loaded with new fighters, who were veterans of the game. With the new experienced fighters, came a load of ego. The balance between JFC fighters and Weekly fighters was tough to manage. For months the bickering looked to never end. But as two of Weeklys top guys chipped in to make the league a better place, the JFC’s mainstream emergence doubled almost instantly. Buffaloblues incredible logging sheet made it possible for the JFC to accomadate 100+ fighters with a lot more time freed up to invest into the league. Epkenpo’s addition of JFC’s “Pros vs Junkies” has proved to be nothing less than genius. This type of addition sets the JFC apart from other leagues, where theres nothing left to do but look forward.
== Rules ==
- What is the Junkie Fighting Championships (JFC) ?
The JFC is the official Fantasy Fighting organization of MMAjunkie.com.
- Can I compete in the JFC?
Absolutely! The JFC is open to any registered member of the MMAjunkie.com forums, and we encourage everyone to participate. The more fighters we have, the greater the competition will be.
- How do I sign-up for the JFC?
Approximately 2-3 weeks before each JFC event (which include all UFC's, Ultimate Fight Nights, WEC's and select events from smaller organizations), a "Sign-Up" thread will be posted in the JFC forum. You will post in this thread to announce your intentions to fight. You may select to "call-out" another JFC fighter, who can agree to or decline said challenge, or you may choose to simply announce your intentions to fight, and allow the Commissioner or Vice President of Operations to arrange a fight for you.
- How does the scoring work in the JFC?
For each bout of the event being contested, you must select the winner of the bout (worth 3 points). If you select the winner correctly, you are eligible for bonus points based on your other picks, including the method of the finish (KO, Sub or Dec - worth 3 points), and the round the fight will end (worth 3 points).
Additionally, the fights must be ranked in "Lock Order." Assign every fight a ranking point, from #1 being your least confident, all the way up to the highest number being your most confident. These bonus points are also awarded to you if you choose the correct winner.
We will use Sark's record-setting 126 point performance from UFC 83 as an example.
The full card with results was as follows:
-Matt Serra vs. Georges St. Pierre [Georges St. Pierre def. Matt Serra via TKO (strikes) -- Round 2, 4:45]
-Rich Franklin vs. Travis Lutter [Rich Franklin def. Travis Lutter via TKO (strikes) -- Round 2, 3:01]
-Nate Quarry vs. Kalib Starnes [Nate Quarry def. Kalib Starnes via unanimous decision (30-26, 30-27, 30-24)]
-Michael Bisping vs. Charles McCarthy [Michael Bisping def. Charles McCarthy via TKO -- Round 1, 5:00]
-Marc Bocek vs. Mac Danzig [Mac Danzig def. Mark Bocek via submission (rear-naked choke) -- Round 3, 3:48]
-Joe Doerksen vs. Jason MacDonald [Jason MacDonald def. Joe Doerksen via TKO (strikes) -- Round 2, 0:56]
-Rich Clementi vs. Sam Stout [Rich Clementi def. Sam Stout via split decision (29-27, 28-29, 29-28)]
-Alan Belcher vs. Jason Day [Jason Day def. Alan Belcher via TKO (strikes) -- Round 1, 3:58]
-Jonathan Goulet vs. Kuniyoshi Hironaka [Jonathan Goulet def. Kuniyoshi Hironaka via TKO (punches) -- Round 2, 2:07]
-Ed Herman vs. Demian Maia [Demian Maia def. Ed Herman via submission (triangle choke) -- Round 2, 2:27]
-Brad Morris vs. Cain Velasquez [Cain Valesquez def. Brad Morris via TKO (strikes) -- Round 1, 2:10]
Sark's picks and scoring were as follows:
Sark
11 - Georges St. Pierre - KO - 2 (11+3+3+3=20)
8 - Rich Franklin - KO - 2 (8+3+3+3=17)
3 - Nate Quarry - KO - 1 (3+3+0+0=6)
10 - Michael Bisping - KO - 1 (10+3+3+3=19)
9 - Mac Danzig - Dec - 3 (9+3+0+3=15)
7 - Jason MacDonald - Sub - 3 (7+3+0+0=10)
4 - Rich Clementi - Dec - 3 (4+3+3+3=13)
6 - Alan Belcher - KO - 1 (0+0+0+0=0)
5 - Jonathon Goulet - Sub - 2 (5+0+3+3=11)
1 - Demian Maia - Sub - 1 (1+3+3+0=7)
2 - Cain Velasquez - KO - 2 (2+3+3+0=8)
Total Score: 20+17+6+19+15+10+13+0+11+7+8=126
Your score is then put up against your opponent's score, and the resulting difference in scores dictates the results of the fight.
Scores Equal - Draw
Difference of 1-3 points - Split Decision
Difference of 4-10 points - Unanimous Decision
Difference of 11-19 points - Submission
Difference of 20+ points - KO
- Is there a difference between a KO and a TKO? How about decisions - do I have to choose between unanimous or split
