The Lucky Bastard Game

WHAT IS IT?

In short, it works similar to the Tapology Survivor game in the sense that it continues every week until there's a winner (or in some cases in this game no winner) but instead of picking your fighters, get assigned a random fighter from the upcoming UFC card and hope they win. 


FORMAT:

1) To enter, simply say that you want to enter at the start of a new game. The length of the games depend entirely on how long it takes to either find a winner or eliminate everyone.

2) Then, you will randomly be assigned a fighter from the upcoming UFC card. This will be decided by me using this site I found wheeldecide.com and putting all the fighters names on a wheel and going through the list of players one by one and spinning the wheel to decide which fighter they get. I'll make a very low quality video of the draw and post it here to show I'm not deliberately messing with anyone in particular. It might mean that some people end up with the same fighter but that doesn't affect the game as it's more of an everybody fighting for themselves kinda game rather than a head to head game.

3) If your randomly assigned fighter wins their fight then you're through to the next round. If their fight get cancelled or postponed then I'll count it as a loss as it would be considered unlucky. Draws and no contests will also count as losses for the same reason. This happens every week until there is only one left and they will be the winner. In a unique twist to make the game as stupid as possible, if everyone eventually goes out, then nobody wins the game and the game will be marked in the record books as "nobody ******* won" or something like that. For example, if there are 2 or 3 people left and they all have losing fighters then nobody wins the game. I feel this also adds weight to the game as you have to be REALLY lucky to be a winner as you literally have to be luckier than every other competitor to be the only one left standing!


WHAT DOES THE WINNER GET?

A place on the list of winners that will be displayed on the opening post of every new game and their current AV put on the new game poster (see below) in the middle of the horseshow so they effectively become the poster boy/girl/other for the new game!

Any questions, just ask! And remember, please don't take this game too seriously! I mean, it's practically a satire of the Survivor Game when you think about it lol!

For the sake of record keeping and historical intrigue, here's the link to the Tapology Lucky Bastard Game: 1st Edition that was on a separate thread: https://www.tapology.com/forum/threads/68098

The MMA gods were not kind to me today. I will now repent by watching Here Comes the Boom for 24 hours straight.

Don’t cry little one..

The MMA Gods took a leaf out of Thanos's book and split the field exactly in half from 18 to 9. The people still in the next round are:

• AyyLmaonnaise
• Bellatrix
• Bronco
• el222
• FresnoMMA
• Hippie
• KyleH
• Nuggetheel
• Schwerindustrie

May the MMA Gods bless you lot again next week!

Let's ******* go

There's really no safe pick next week though a lot of untested fighters vs low tier, and women's matches which are as 50/50 as heavyweights for the most part. Only big underdog is Diaz 

@ Fresno

It’s not your pick/choose 

Are u drunk/high?

It’s LUCK 🍀 

@hippie I meant it as in there's not many fighters that could be assigned where I would feel confident they would win.
Your rash assumption that I didn't understand the rules leads me to believe that you're, in fact, the one who is drunk or high and I'm calling the ******* cops

I'll have the video up soon and with sound this time lol!

Just to confirm the matchups for anyone who can't or doesn't want to bother watching the video:

• AyyLmaonnaise - Khamzat Chimaev
• Bellatrix - Ion Cutelaba
• Bronco - Khamzat Chimaev
• el222 - Yohan Lainesse
• FresnoMMA - Melissa Martinez
• Hippie - Anton Turkalj
• KyleH - Norma Dumont
• Nuggetheel - Nate Diaz
• Schwerindustrie - Tony Ferguson

Good luck everyone!

Your voice is so smoothing. You should narrate animal planet or wild earth episodes 

@Xconchris

Thanks mate but I could never even come close to matching the legendary narration of Sir David Attenborough lol!

Sir David is goated. I love those shows 

Lmao thank you for the Khamzat pick

Don't jinx yourself lol. One second your happy you got Khamzat then next second Holland gets a come from behind buzzer beater flying knee ko in the 5th round.

@Cheeseball

I know I'm being optimistic but given how Khamzat Chimaev has been acting this week, I'm really rooting for Kevin Holland to pull off the upset! I doubt it will happen but I'd love for him to be the one to derail the Chimaev hype train!
