How it works

Rules & Scoring

Every UFFC league plays the same rules. The only things a league sets for itself are its buy-in and payouts.

Format

  • ▸Each team owns 1 fighter per division — 11 fighters across 11 divisions: Flyweight, Bantamweight, Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Middleweight, Light Heavyweight, Heavyweight (men's), and Strawweight, Flyweight, Bantamweight (women's).
  • ▸Full re-draft each season (snake draft, randomised order). No keepers currently — a future keeper format is under consideration.
  • ▸Your fighters score from their real UFC results across the whole calendar year.

Buy-In & Payouts

  • ▸Each league sets its own buy-in per team and how the pot is paid out.
  • ▸For example, the 2026 UFFC comp was $100 a team, with $700 to the winner, $100 to the runner-up and the rest reinvested.

Roster Moves & Free Agency

  • ▸Each team gets 3 free agency moves per season.
  • ▸Each team gets 1 waiver pickup per season, in reverse-standings order, matching the vacated division.
  • ▸Free agency must be used by the end of September. Vacancies after that date score 0 for the rest of the season.
  • ▸A fighter eligible for multiple divisions can be freely reassigned between their eligible slots at no cost — vacating their old slot, which must be refilled via FA or waiver.
  • ▸Free agency requires Commissioner approval. Contested claims are resolved by majority league vote.
  • ▸Trades between teams are not currently permitted.

Wang Cong Card

Once per team per season, a team may activate the Wang Cong Card to double the points scored by one fighter in one fight. Must be activated via the owner dashboard before the fight begins.

WCCEach team has exactly 1 WCC per season — use it wisely.
