Fightmetric Reveals MMA Salary Cap Challenge

News

If you’re a fantasy football, basketball or baseball fan and have longed for a similar game for MMA, you’re in luck. UFC’s official statistics provider, Fightmetric, is in beta testing of their own MMA fantasy game, MMA Salary Cap Challenge.

The game works just like other salary cap style fantasy games. Players are given a budget for each MMA event to spend on the fighters competing on the televised portion.

Users will score points based upon round as well as knockdowns, significant strikes, takedowns, submission attempts and passes. Sounds pretty awesome to be honest, it seems like a cool take on the fantasy MMA field (as it separates itself from MMArmy and MMATycoon – both of which SMS plays!). With so much growth in fantasy sports, this was a no-brainer.

An Inside Pulse "original", SMS is one of the founding members of Inside Pulse and serves as the Chief Marketing Officer on the Executive Board. Smith is a fan of mixed martial arts and runs two sections of IP as Editor in Chief, RadioExile.com and InsideFights.com. Having covered music festivals around the world as well as conducting interviews with top-class professional wrestlers and musicians, he switched gears from music coverage at Radio Exile to MMA after the first The Ultimate Fighter Finale. He resides with his wife in New York City.
