Rob S · 04-07-2007, 07:02 PM

I have not been on the forums a lot lately and I kind of want something to rekindle my interest draft wise. An MMA draft is the perfect thing. It will be the same, 2 fighter per weight class format as usual. I am going to cap this at 6 people and am going hold spots for some people who are relaible, that I like, and who know their MMA. The 4 people below I am counting in. There are 2 more spots up for grabs. I am not going to take people on a 1st come basis, I am going to decide based on reliability and knowledge.

**No time limit today. Probably no TL at all. All of these posters are reliable, but if picking speed becomes a problem I will make a TL.

JF4 · 04-08-2007, 12:43 AM

Jim Jim · 04-08-2007, 08:06 AM

I'm in. If there's room that it is. But I love MMA and love these drafts.

UKfan · 04-08-2007, 08:18 AM

You know I want in on this, thanks for the PM Rob

Rob S · 04-08-2007, 12:32 PM

I would like to include both Nerv and Jim Jim because I know they both know their stuff. Does SARF check here anymore?

I'm sure he does, just give him a PM to let him know about the draft.

Rob S · 04-09-2007, 10:00 AM

If SARF doesnt sign up by 3 EST we will start the draft with the other 6.

UKfan · 04-09-2007, 10:08 AM

Any idea of an order? Picking at like 4 or so in round 1 would suck IMO.

I am going to go ahead and start with out SARF and give his spot to JimJim, i am sure he wont mind. That said, I will do a random order in the next few minutes.

UKfan · 04-09-2007, 10:32 AM

I wasn't whinging, just wondered so I could start planning, I have a reputation to maintain in these drafts! ;)

Rob S · 04-09-2007, 10:38 AM

OK, I did it the same way as usual, random and out of a hat. I am afraid u jinxed yourself UK Fan, haha.

1. JF4
2. Charm
3. Nerv
4. UK Fan
5. Jim Jim
6. Rob S

UKfan · 04-09-2007, 10:57 AM

Ah, son of a *****! Well time to start planning I guess. Is this for a stable that will win today or a couple of years time maybe?

Mainly today. The only way age will be held against you is if you have no youth at all.

JF4 · 04-09-2007, 11:54 AM

I probably would have taken GSP in this situation but since he lossed i'm gonna have to take.

HW-Fedor Emelianenko

Rob S · 04-09-2007, 11:56 AM

Good call with Fedor, CCB is up. I can only see 1 person going in this spot, but I know CCB hates him, this could be interesting.

Jim Jim · 04-09-2007, 01:07 PM

This is going to rock. Good pick, but pretty much knew he'd go first but rightfully so.

slightlyaraiderfan · 04-09-2007, 01:15 PM

Good call on not waiting for me, I'm taking a break from drafts...I haven't been in one in quite a while now.

UKfan · 04-09-2007, 01:28 PM

Fedor I think was everyone's number 1 pick, the right choice IMO

ccB · 04-09-2007, 01:35 PM

I always get 2 or 3 on these which are IMO the worst picks. Im gonna probably suprise some people with this pick but I dont think no one can take this guy at 155. He will be absolutely dominate.

LW Baby J Penn

Reason: One of the best Jiu Jitsu guys in MMA hands down. Hes a force at WW so at LW hes going to own everyone. Some may still think Gomi is the man at 155 but if he cant beat Nick Diaz theres no way he can beat Penn. Penn beat GSP I dont care what anyone says about that one. He's beat Matt Hughes, he almost beat matt hughes again. Hes got sick balance which makes him almost impossible to take down. The WW's cant take him down I dont see how anyone at LW can. Hes got solid hands hes just a great all round fighter.

Holds 2 of 3 belts in what has been the best MMA organization in the world up until recently.

Dan Henderson

Will own 3 if they ever put him up against Chuck!

UKfan · 04-09-2007, 01:58 PM

Alright, I'm going to take GSP, he may have lost the other night, but I still feel he is the number one in his weight class.
