MMA Fantasy Draft: Who you taking?

[The Natural Born Runner]

Not sure if this concept has ever been proposed, but hey - here we go!

In the NFL there are 7 rounds of draft picks when picking players from college.

So let's say you were a Fantasy MMA Organisation Owner.

Imagine you have 7 picks to start off your organisation and the rest of the roster will be picked at random.

They have to be as of today in 2016. This is NOT including versions of fighters in their prime, so I don't want to see anyone saying "Hey I'd take Fedor 2005 version, for my first pick" - that's breaking the rules and that shit doesn't count.

So, who would you pick? You only have 7 picks remember, so choose wisely.

Go!

How would this be scored? Why wouldnt you just pick all the champions?

 

[The Natural Born Runner]

Fuck y'all for putting this in The Wasteland, for no reason. Literally was up for like 7 minutes.

 

[BigMuffler]

Ronda
Conor
Jones (first 3 no brainers)
Cupcake (personal fave and arguably best female fighter)
Werdum (personal fave and arguably best fighter period)
Lawler (epic warrior, hardcore appeal)
Overeem or Rockhold (superhero look plus great skillsets)

Can't really not pick Conor or Ronda business-wise.

Well if there was like a draft order so you couldn't just get 7 of the best that would be so badass. BUT great general idea.

1. Jon Jones
2. Conor Mcgregor
3. Mighty Mouse
4. Luke Rockhold
5. Robbie Lawler
6. Holly Holm
7. Cowboy Cerrone

My picks.

You might want to pick some more marketable non-champs (Ronda, Diaz's) or young fighter you think has huge upside etc.

 

[BjPenn2016FW]

Stipe
AJ
Rockhold
Maia
Cerrone
Frankie
Dillashaw

Keeping in money that this is a fantasy and I'm running a business. Who I like does't come into play here at all. I'm picking the people that did a great job putting asses in seats.

Conor
GSP
Randy
Brock
Ronda (before the loss)
Wandy
Fedor

Replace whoever isn't allowed on the list with Cuck and maybe Sage

I got 2005 fedor, motivated penn, chuck with that look in his eye, sea level Cain, cabo Diaz, full camp Mendes, and pre-purple pillow Ronda.
