Global Fight League draft live thread.

How did nobody draft Saidyokub lmao.

It's almost entirely for marketing and financial purposes.

Yes, but in that context, what do the teams mean? Are there going to be team vs. team events? Is there a point system with the top two teams facing off after a series of events? Is it really just divisions and the team with the most champions (with some tiebreaker system in place) "wins"? Do the team managers choose matchups or are they booked by the league?

I'm guessing GFL doesn't really know what the teams mean yet and that the reality of booking fights will result in multiple complete makeovers of the concept if they ever actually start putting on fights.

Julio Arce isn't in the UFC anymore? Didn't know that.

So... First they are naming picks one by one then showing whole teams but the "Commissioner" is naming the picks not the teams picking...... Coach Matt whats his face then says he's curious who is going to be put on "HIS" team....

Gegard Mousasi says he doesn't know where he is training or if he's training with teammates... Am I missing something here???? or is this just one big cluster fuck put on with the "Team" angle???

 

[Hymen Crusher]

I hope it works out. Anything that gets these dudes paid and possibly sap any power from Dana I'm for.

Goldie announced a "team points system earlier...
it was like 4 points for a KO, TKO, Submission, 3 points for a Decision Win, 2 points for a draw, 1 point for a decision loss. 0 points for getting finished.

I suppose we will find out

Kind of sad there is no Africa team though

GFL Africa would be lit

 

[CasualBot]

GFL would blow up if they made decisions a tie.
Give em an overtime round to finish, or it's a tie.

Finishes, losses, ties.

Decisions are not wins.

This draft is a who's who of UFC wash-outs. I pray that full synthetic juicing is a requirement.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Don't know who bi nguyen is but her first name and face made me an immediate fan.

 

[jeskola]

I just tuned in and this is 100x worst than I thought it was going to be. Over half the roster either shouldn't be sanctioned or isn't serious about training. Complete dumpster fire

It's just confusing. I am now doubting they ever put on a single event. If they do get that far, I can't see it going more than two events max before closing up shop.

Cain Velasquez is a manager for a Dubai team? Rosters full of old people who haven't fought in 6+ years? What is even happening here?

Very much agreed.

52 pickup. They're making a mess just to see if someone else will clean it up.

Champ material

Team New York

Didnt Weidmant retired on friday? Got emotional videos and everything on the weigh-in show, lol.

I would like to see who is fighting and who isnt, cause i see a LOT of old names of people that were supposedly retired.

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

No weight cut is cool. Maybe it'll catch on

 

[TCE]

I fucking hope Patricio Pitbull and Pico go straight to the UFC, and not entertain this shite.
