Guest Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I like Stipe over Ngannou, so it devalued Francis a lot in my rankings. I still hope Stipe whoops Ngannou, would be glorious but there is a decent chance Francis lands one of his ford escorts on Stipe and gets the belt. I would’ve been mad if I missed that opportunity With my first pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonStolz Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 My top picks were this: 1: Zabit Magomedsharipov 2: Eryk Anders 3: Kamaru Usman 4: Francis Ngannou (Like JLP said, I like Stipe over Ngannou but he's still a good pick.) 5: Jessica Andrade (I'm certain she beats Torres and if Namajunas beats Joanna again, which I think she will, then Andrade should get the next title shot and I think she'll beat Namajunas for the title.)

MasterLeader Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 now thats a fight I want to see https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2018/1/7/16859674/ufc-mma-bantamweight-contender-marlon-moraes-signs-jimmie-rivera-bout-agreement-contract-news Thats a 50/50 fight imo Could you rate my team as Ive done above for others please? Not gonna lie I think my team is consistently good but with no amazing picks would probably score myself a B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacman Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Right guys - see previous page - full list of camps and I have rated each camp (not the most capable pundit but there you go). Would be nice to get JLP or Jacman to rate mine. Will sort Fallen Angel's banner now and update the first page pronto. --------------------------------- Camp JLP - A Camp RozzaD - A- Camp Jacman - A- Camp NorthernNinjas - B Camp Timqwe - B Camp Humble - B- Camp Aylib - B- Camp TheyCallMeNeon - B- Camp The1rstSaint - C+ Camp LeonStolz - C- Camp Rei - D+ Camp FallenAngel - D Camp Gonzasco - F Camp MasterLeader - *can't really rate my own team - JLP? Jacman?* I think you built your camp very similar to mine, you have a likely champ (JJ), a bunch of unranked fighters/lower ranked guys that are skilled and will win you a few fights and depending on who they beat up on will rise in the rankings. I would give your camp a solid B+. Last year I drafted based on who could become champ which is why I drafted 3 top 5 people and the rest were guys that weren't going to move up very far but would be active and could get me wins/Performance bonuses. The title contenders didn't pan out except for T.J and he only got me the title towards then end of the year so I decided that wasn't a very good strategy. The other guys were active but very hit and miss. For this year I drafted Khabib because I believe one way or another he will become champ even if Conor doesn't come back. The rest of my picks were fighters with high potential to move up because ultimately that was where I couldn't compete with JLP last year despite having 2 champs. JLP and Fallen Angel drafted a lot of people which could very well work but where I gained the most points and did most of my damage last year came from my pickups throughout the year. So I decided to keeps some money and go that route. Just my thoughts I would love to hear other people's thoughts and strategies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonStolz Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Camp LeonStolz - C- I think my team is a solid B lol Tonya Evinger is set to fight Marion Reneau at UFC Austin who is ranked #10 in the WBW and I think Tonya beats her easily so Tonya will go from unranked to the top 10 in one fight. Eryk Anders is more of the same. He is set to fight Lyoto Machida who Anders should destroy and he will be right on the cusp of the top ten in MW. Ricardo Ramos is a young up-in-comer who I believe will be in at least the top 10 in BW by like 6 months by now. Myles Jury made Rick Glenn look like an amatuer in his last fight and I think he will be in the top 10 in FW really soon Robert Whittaker is the second youngest champion right now and I believe he will fight at least 3 times this year and will beat all of his opposition. But that's fine, ML. Keep underestimating me. Will make it all the more sweeter when Team Lion Pride wins the whole thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with a likely champ (Valentina) and other than that I'm trying to get a head start by picking up a lot of guys ranked 11-15 or unranked that are fighting soon and that I think will win their fights, so I can get ahead in my camp funds and pick up fighters that get new matchups announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's fine, ML. Keep underestimating me. Will make it all the more sweeter when Team Lion Pride wins the whole thing Yeah $100,000 for one fighter is a big risk, although if he does fight 3 times and wins 3 times it will certainly pay off. I think any matchup for Whittaker will be relatively competitive and don't expect him to fight more than 2 times. Andrade will have no chance against Joanna. Tonya Evinger I don't rate, but who knows. I do actually really like Eryk Anders - excellent pick I reckon. ------------------ Also - first page is updated with latest info.

Worst pick: No standout bad picks here, Irene Aldana is 0-2 in the UFC. Will be cut with a loss.
