Bellator Side Game

A while ago Jay did a side game for the ultimate fighter, where players simply picked 1 fighter from that season, and as the season progressed, players were steadily eliminated when their fighter lost on the show, until only one player's fighter remained.

Well I was looking over the tournaments for the upcoming bellator season 6, and I wondered if people would be interested in doing this for any or all of the 5 tournaments (BW, FW, LW, WW, MW). Some pretty solid talent this year. The beauty of it is, you can apply for as many or as few tournaments as you'd like, depending on your interest/time. I can take up to 8 people per tournament, and we have about a month to set it up. I cant take players for lightweight yet because the 8th fighter in unconfirmed. I will likely do a random draw for every tourny to decide picking order. PM me if interested, stating which tournaments you wish to enter.

This next season of Bellator is going to be great.

Sparky
Trevail
Rabi
PMoney
Prophecy
Budgellism
FF47

so yeah, first pick foster, consolation pick baker

and i was just kidding, cuase im kinda high and didnt fully read all these posts haha, im in, ill do all 5 tournaments

haha no worries. My eyes are so red I can barely see the screen. I'll set up the pick order now. First up: BANTAMWEIGHTS

Marcos Galvao
Rodrigo Lima
Travis Marx
Hiroshi Nakamura
Luis Nogueira
Masakatsu Ueda
Alexis Vila (armbar66j7)
Ed West

I cant wait!

should be interesting

Drafting for the BW tourney has begun, I have randomly generated the picking order for the Bantamweight tournament:

1.Armbar-Alexis Vila
2.Trevail
3.Sparky
4.Rabi
5.Prophecy
6.FF47
7.Budgellism
8.P$

Bantamweights:
Marcos Galvao
Rodrigo Lima
Travis Marx
Hiroshi Nakamura
Luis Nogueira
Masakatsu Ueda
Ed West

With his pick, Armbar has selected Alexis "The Exorcist" Vila! Trevail is up next. I will PMing you guys to let you know when it is your turn.

ALSO, good news! The Lightweight match ups were announced today so we can pick fighters for that tournament as well! You can see them in my first post.

So sorry about the delay guys, i'll take Rodrigo Lima.

I have also started the FW pick, and with his pick Budgellism has taken Marlon Sandro.

My Featherweight pick is Ronnie Mann

Sparky has selected Maskatsu Ueda in the BW draft.

In the FW draft, I have selected Daniel Straus.

Well in lieu of the FW favorites being drafted, I'll take Alexandre Bezerra

Marcos Galvao

Wagnney Fabiano

Don't think War Machine is gonna be fighting in his tournament

Travis Marx is my Bantamweight pick

Yup, War Machines back to jail. I have noted the switch in my first post. As for me, I guess I wouldn't be a good Toast N JMMA guy unless I took:

Hiroshi "Iron" Nakamura

Ed West

Which means Luis Nogueira goes to P$. Here is the layout for the BW tourney:

Marcos Galvao (Rabi)
Rodrigo Lima (Trevail)
Travis Marx (Prophecy)
Hiroshi Nakamura (FF47)
Luis Nogueira (P$)
Masakatsu Ueda (sparky)
Alexis Vila (armbar66j7)
Ed West (Budgellism)

Armbar has selected Roberto Vargas. Sparky and Trevail will finish us up at FW.

Sparky has selected Jeremy Spoon, which means Genair Da Silva goes to Trevail. I will set up the next tourney tomorrow.

Drafting for the LW tourney has begun!

Also, check out my first post to see the layout so far.

Sparky has selected Patricky "Pitbull" Freire!

PITBULL

Rene Nazare
