I bet Brad makes a move or two in the supplemental draft just to keep you and VP on your toes.

Ya gotta be apart of every supp draft if you want to win this thing man, Brad is making sure he gets 5 fights under his belt before the 1st supp which is smart.

I can summarize the rankings quickly.

If you have a bellator fighter moving onto the second round or further of the tourney then you are in the top 3, if not then you are in a distant 4th or lower.

O and F you Joe Warren and Neil Grove!

[bail3yz]

I am going to have highest score for someone that has 100% Zuffa fighters!

You forgot to add a big fuck you to Nogueira who got a fight an additional fight even after losing.

I swear if Taschuk wins this thing imma lose my shit.

Yeah i had to limit my Fuck you's, as i had alot to go around.

He's not winning though, i've got a near perfect draft rankings and as as soon as the order is announced i'll put the final tweaks on it depending on the order. :cheesy:

[Keegman]

Did I get Main Event points for Saunder?

[vikingpride]

Did I get Main Event points for Saunder?

Yep you got your total 15.

Fighter on the card (5)+ Fighter in main event (3) + Finish in third round (7).

So 5+3+7= 15

And your previous score of 62+15= You current score of 77

[Keegman]

Blagoi Ivanov out of the Bellator Tourney and will replaced by Neil Grove. Also Hayes was replaced by Santos. VPs back in the tourney. :worried:

Nice cut that lead down considerably. And with Dantas and Santos having one more fight each i should be able to cut into that lead some more.

[Brad.Taschuk]

Probably not that much, as I have Vila and Vianna still to fight.

Also, I don't like the standings anymore.

Dantas is beating Vila.

Not last anymore bitches!

[Keegman]

Takes the lead by a lucky win by Askren. I don't like his chances against Lima or Saunders.

[MKZ]

He wrecks saunders, and can dominate lima.

[Brad.Taschuk]

Sweet! Bezerra is fighting at Bellator 57 as well (I may even go to that card now, and catch that lame Velasquez/dos Santos fight after.

He's against Doug Evans, so it might not be another quick finish like he's had, but he should at least be taking home the W.

And of course Rousey is to Budd what Santos is to Pringle (i.e. she will find a way to rip off an arm before Budd even makes it to the cage). Things are looking good for Team Taschuk.

[Keegman]

Is that Rashads brother?

[Brad.Taschuk]

Yes, it's Rashad's white Alaskan brother...

[vikingpride]

lmao

It's obvious he was black, but then after moving to alaska he evolved to blend into his snow surroundings and turned white.

It's pretty basic evolution, just sped up a bit. haha

[Keegman]

Never even heard of the guy before and didn't even see a picture of him so. Last name is Evans so just :chill: out. :prrr:

[wafb]

lmao

Oh you, and your passive-aggressive racism.:rofl5:

Doug Evans fought in the UFC (against Huerta, I believe), he's also fought Antonio Carvalho, and was in an awesome fight with Thierry Quenneville.

[Brad.Taschuk]

Man, I thought our scores from last year were gonna be pretty tough to beat e-thug, but it looks like you, Keeg and I are all probably going to be smashing the 200-point mark, and probably the scores from last year too.

[e-thug]

Yeah we somehow seem to up are game every year....TBH Bellator has been very kind to you and Keegman though which makes me sad as the MMA gods decided to screw me out of Ivanov :(.

[vikingpride]

I got screwed with Warren and Grove. First round boots from the tourney.

I'm just glad i managed to salvage something with my drafting of Santos and Dantas.

Btw when does the season end? lol

[Keegman]

This is going to be tough to pass Brad. He's got 2 fights left and I only have Eddie. Vila will lose a decision and Prindle is a big SOB.

Askren will be fighting Lima around early 2012 and I'm hoping for Saunders to get back in a WW tourney.

Dropping Sparks and Alexander Shlemenko.

[wafb]

Dropping Siver and Torres.

[vikingpride]

With Bellator done, and SF and Dream in limbo this draft is gonna be pretty straight forward.

o And Prindle ruined any chances i had of making a charge here. And if thats not enough E-thug looks positioned to make a huge charge here.

[Keegman]

Is Bellator done for the rest of the year?

That Santos NC is gonna haunt me.

Would of loved to have Mousasi get the 1st rd submission but. Going to need some good luck to win this season.

isnt there still a lot of time?

[e-thug]

isnt there still a lot of time?

March 10th I think is the last date Im accepting events for.

Keegman is def still in the running, got 1 draft left aswell to shake things up.....need Brad to slip up....like have a fighter drop out to injury cuz he's been damn lucky with scheduling this year.

Damn if Marquez could have pulled the upset i'd easily be in second right now.

Hell if Marquez had gotten anyone else aside from bibs in the first round i could very easily be tied with E-thug right now for second.

[Keegman]

I think Taschuk has this season all raped up now that Rousey is fighting on March 2nd. Damn :(

[Brad.Taschuk]

Like the way things are looking.

Rousey on March 2nd, hopefully Bellator's scheduling works out for me, and then whoever I pick up in the Supp Draft.

[vikingpride]

Yeah the lack of knowledge on the first Bellator event is messing with my draft.

I just sent in a list though.

[Keegman]

I'm really hoping that Bellator puts on the LW Tourney first so I can have Pitbull fight. I messed up big time on the last draft thinking that Bellator started around Feb. Eddie still has no matchup. :rant:

[vikingpride]

I need the Thiago Silva fight to happen. Because i want those main event first round finish points.

[Brad.Taschuk]

Not that I was overly concerned about Munoz beating Chael, but I think that injury might put me out of reach for you e-thug.

[e-thug]

Not that I was overly concerned about Munoz beating Chael, but I think that injury might put me out of reach for you e-thug.

If all things stay the same than yes im pretty much hooped....you have 3 fights left and I only have 2....the only thing I can hope for is one of ya fighters has to pull out and even then I have to gain 10 pts over 2 fights.

Ivanov injury and the fluke that was Nogueira getting another Bellator fight and then gettin +20 was the huge difference maker this season unfortunately.

[vikingpride]

I'm still pissed about missing out on HUGE points from Santos' DQ. Since i think he finishes that main event fight in the first round a majority of the time.

[Brad.Taschuk]

4 fights left this season, and if Bellator is structuring their tournaments like I think they are (smallest weight to biggest), I could still have all 5 fighters going.

You guys don't even know how much I'm flexing right now.

[Keegman]

Damn it, Mousasi is fighting on march 3rd. :kill:

[vikingpride]

Damn, Bellator rescheduled Santos vs Prindle an event too late. It's happening on the 16th. Thats big easy points for me right there.

Just went back over the history of FFL thus far, and e, you've finished 1, 2, 2, 2 (so far this season) and scored 722 points. I've finished 3, 3, 1, 1 (so far this season), and scored 720 points. We've only been 2 points different over the course of 4 seasons. Crazy.

[bail3yz]

Cool stats, might have to create an All time great thread.

Yeah we're def 1-2 All time, I've had enough of this 2nd place bullshit though and need to win again to create a debate for ATG FFL.

[Rhetro]

Learning curve is over. You guys are fucked next season.

Damn if only Santos' bellator fight was a week earlier.....

I still have Cole Miller so I still think you would've finished 3rd.....still you were much closer this Season.

[vikingpride]

Santos would be main event though and i think his odds of finishing in the first vs Prindle are about as high as Coles. so hard to really say.

Btw who does brad have left?

[e-thug]

Btw who does brad have left?

Hard to say, lots of could've/would've/should've things this season....Munoz dropping out and Ivanov having to drop out of the tourney were big problems for my team.

Brad has Rousey/Benavidez and Bezerra left.....essentially the injury bug would have to REALLY hit him for him not to win, lol.

[vikingpride]

well Miller sucked tonight. lol


When does the next season start? I'm tired of this 3rd place shit.

well i was close kinda to top 5...thats my goal next season...watch out now.

[e-thug]

Taschuk just blazed thru this season......everything went right for him this year and I think it will be hard to repeat.

Little dissapointed with my season, the Ivanov and Munoz injury really messed me up, still would've been tough to have beaten Taschuk this year though.

VP a nice improvement, serious threat for next season I'm sure!

Keegman started off hot but then really lost ground once Bellator ended, some of ya draft choices were bizarre I have to admit.

Bail got a bit unlucky, we will call it the Chris factor lol.

The rest of you def need to participate in every draft, there is no way you can win this without participating in everyone....I dont mind some peeps making up the numbers but would be nice to see some of ya step ya game up!!

[wafb]

Give me the first 5 picks next season and I'll destroy Brad for you.

[e-thug]

Give me the first 5 picks next season and I'll destroy Brad for you.

Im actually considering adding incentive for next season in terms of draft.

I might set it up like I do the supp drafts, so essentially you would get 1st rd pick unless we get new players then they would be ahead of you etc.

[Brad.Taschuk]

I'm fine with a reverse draft order from the previous season's results, if that's what you're talking about. Supp drafts are more important than the first draft anyways.

Also, as much as we keep improving our season over season results, I have a feeling my score from this year is gonna hold up for a while (unless we add more fighters to each roster), as you said, everything went right for me this season, from the Nogueira situation (which luckily didn't end up mattering in the end) to just a complete lack of injuries, and a perfect schedule.
