I guess I am going to hold off on making the first selection until everyone has seen this thread. I sent each participant a PM letting them know to check in here.

TBC

FIX!!! TBC gets #1 and I probably get the worst pick of the draft I quit!

-The Captain

Captain - That just means my check arrived before anyone elses. Waiting until the 16th pick is gonna be MURDER!

TBC - I'd say you can post your first pick whenever you are ready. I'll also start an Excel sheet with the rosters.

-The Captain

Actually someone good might fall to me because we know EERS is taking KenFlo at #3.

-The Captain

OK, brother. With the first pick in the inaugural Fightticker.com fantasy draft, The Bud Cans select, Anderson Silva, middleweight.

Phoenix is on the clock.

2 Other things:

1. I know some people are pretty readily by email, whether it be to their Blackberry or whatever. If anyone wants just private message me your email address and I'll forward you the spreadsheet with who has been selected and you can simply respond to the email if you'd like.

2. Start thinking of your team names. I'm agreeing with what TBC originally said, that it should have something to do with MMA.

Thanks,

-The Captain

awwwwww fuckle.... it's my turn.

Well done, onto Mr. EERS.

-The Captain

I just had an idea for a movie. The main character is loosely based on Phoenix. It's about a half-man/half-robot who's preprogrammed to get banned from every online site he joins...

...what, my team name can't be the Beat Em Off Crew? we are going to beat everyone off so we will win. i'm going to make a banner with people beating each other off..

i like you movie idea...

Oh no - your team name is fine. You rarely cross the line Phoenix -- you just expertly maneuver around it.

I can't wait to see the banner. It would be cool if your team banner somehow incorporated all of your drafted fighters in it...

Didn't "fuckle" get you in trouble once before, Phoenix? Haha. Nice pick with GSP. Let's see where EERS goes with his number three...

That banner can go one of two ways... lets see if Phoenix has the self control..

The only other thing I say is that we do not enforce the "24 Hour Pramit" rule until everyone has made their first pick. That way they know the reprocussions.

-The Captain

it's going to be the best banner of all time, self control or not!!

and tbc, cbs didn't appreciate fuckle, pramit loves it!

my slogan is going to be "Beating em off senseless."

Soldier of MMAFia I am not the best but I try!

Mr. EERS? Shouldn't we just assume KenFlo

...And out of curiousity, I'm assuming EERS is mountain-EERS?

-The Captain

EERS - here are the rules. Hanging on to a title is worth 5, winning a title is worth 10.

We ended up having 8 people take part in the draft. The rosters consist of 2 heavyweights, 2 light heavyweights, 2 middleweights, 2 welterweights, 2 lightweights and 3 other fighters from any weight division in the UFC. The scoring period goes from August 1 through January 31, then will start again February 1 through the end of July. Once the scoring period ends, you will be able to sign free agents, and drop unproductive fighters. Total points wins. The scoring is as follows.

W vis KO/sub - 10 points
W via UD - 7 points
W via Ref/Dr. stoppage - 5 points
W via SD - 3 points
W via DQ - 2 points

Defending a title - 5 points
Taking away a title - 10 points

1st Round win - 5 points
2nd round win - 3 points

Draw - 0 points

Loss - -5 points

I don't know how to do this stuff but if people are waiting on Me and I am the wrestler I will chose Cain Velasquez I guess I can do that. As I will chose a wrestler for every division I have never had a fantasy team for anything other than the stuff at MMAmadness. so I will call this Wresters kick arse

***FANTASY DRAFT***

This is a copy of the original rules from TheBudCan:
So you probably would prefer a champion or a person you think will be getting the belt soon and having it for a while because of the extra points for belt defenses or taking away the belt. Also yes this will be just for UFC fighters. Also if you have not read it yet, once it is your turn we will give you 24 hours to make your next pick, if you do not Pramit will use his best judgement to make the pick. EERS you are up next and as you can see Anderson Silva and GSP are off the board, King you are on deck.

Are we also going in reverse order after the last man has picked? Like 1-8 picks and the it goes backwards so person number 8 picks twice in a row.

EERS - not a terrible idea especially because he is young and has a ton of potential. On to King now, with yours truly on deck.

-The Captain

God you guys are faster than I am, yes we will "snake back around so your next pick will be after my 2nd pick... I assumed you'd take your boy Forrest, now I need to rethink my choice... jerk...

-The Captain

I have to say anderson....Bj was there but then NOPE I have to put a wrestler hahaha

With the 5th pick the Rear Naked Reach Around All-Stars Select.... Forrest Griffin (LHW)

-The Captain

where the hell is Cincy? He is going to slow this whole thing down that Canadian. He emailed me and said his team name would be the Cindy Laupers.

I'm gonna get so confused in the later rounds in trying to remember who has who. Could one of you guys make a blog and edit it when a pick is made, get duel windows open so I won't accidentally pick anyone else's fighters.

If BJ moves up and beats the winner of GSP/Fitch do we consider him a LW BJ or a WW BJ?

erict: I will continue to update the results here: http://fightticker.com/node/1759
Also as I said earlier if email is easier get that to me and I'll email you updates periodically...

EERS don't worry this is going to take us at least a week I'd assume to finish just with everyone across the country so just try to log on whenever you can and check to see when it is your turn.

-The Captain

Uhhmm.... I pick Travis Lutter!

WAIT! HE GOT CUT? WHA??? Oh whew... it's not my turn anyway.

Sixtus you need to go and get that thing you had up on CBS, the one with the chicken chasing the kid. Wait it was a rooster, that was funny.

HAHA - I love that... I wish we could use gifs on here for our avatar... another one I haved that is pretty hilarious is some idiot lighting a bottle rocket in the crotch of his pants. It doesnt shoot off and sets his pants on fire in the crotch... his friends have to run up and stomp on it to put it out. Straight out of Keith Hackneys playbook.

Instead I have to settle for Bas Rutten.... I WANT YOU!

Of course it is best the first time you saw the GIF Sixtus with my response of... "ummm what the heck is going on here and than just dying laughing"

-The Captain

I once saw a video of a guy who was naked and wrapped his enite lower body from the waist down in saran wrap and then proceeded to take a nasty crap and was trapped in it.

-The Captain
