Featherweight and Bantamweight Divisions

I received an idea today to create another league to incorporate a WEC theme into the league which got me thinking about the lack of quality fighters we constantly face in the league due to growth so here is my idea


Instead of adding in a new league, I will take two of the current divisions and recycle the fighters into 2 new divisions, the ones listed above. For example I would use the WW and LW fighters again but make them available for the two other classes. I dont see any negatives to this besides increased people having the same dude in their avatars but thats more my headache then anyone elses.


So since LHW has the most quality fighters Im going to open it as the FW division and the LW division again as the BW division. Anyone who wants to switch to the new classes may do so regardless of contract situation!


Bantamweight is open for claims, I will release the FW division once this division fills up

Love the idea

That seems like a lot members using the same fighter. It might get kind of confusing. Like someone already grabbed BW Sean Sherk so now we have 3 Sherks in the OFC. Thats a lot of Sherks. And steroids. Maybe you should just make fighters available who arent already in 2 weight classes. For instance Sherk, Penn, Serra, etc would not qualify for BW because they are in LW and WW. But Diaz, Stevenson, Florian, etc, could be in BW because they are currently only in 1 division (LW).

Yeah but then that limits the division is the only problem. Its a huge game with thousands of people playing it, we just have to continue to evolve to make our league available to as many people as possible and this is the best idea Ive heard yet for it. This is why Im only opening one division instead of two to see how it goes

yeah I definitely agree with the 1 division at a time thing. I guess how fast it fills up might depend on how many people get booted this week lol.....

well if ya noticed round 1 is pretty much done all of a sudden

an easy way to tell which one is which is just put it in their avatar, for example sherk #1s avatar has a sherk pic and it says WW, #2 has an avatar that says LW and #3 has one that says BW, then its easy to know which sherk he is or which sherk ur looking for

Cuz you scared the shit out of everybody lol. It's definitely what was needed! sadly I still don't have an opponent in Rd 2 tho. If they don't show up, instead of just advancing people you should let an alternate step in to fight. No reason those dudes shouldn't get a chance.

Sorry, BW and FW discussion back on......

just listen to my post lol

Just wanted to add that if we added the FW and BW CAF's to the BW division it might not be limited. We could add Faber, Pulver, Torres, Bowles, Aldo, Mike Brown, etc. None of them are going to be competing in FW anyway because FW is going to be all 205 lbs fighters....

i gave admin the idea and i meant what you are saying stamos like CAFS for FW and BW like for for FW pulver , brown , faber , Joe Warren , Kid Yamomoto (so it will be WEC and Dream fighters) and BW: Torres , Bowles , Mizugaki

i think your idea is better than what were doing. why not just make a wec and put all wec guys in it? it would obviously be caf only, then we dont have to worry about 7 sean sherks.

that or change the tof into pride and open all weightclasses.

I Agree

no i say keep TOF but make WEC its own thing or just add the weight classes to the regular OFC i want WEC and Dream guys though

never-tap thats a great idea imo, but a lotta ppl are gonna want to use reg fighters instead of CAF's i think

Yeah, CAFs take a lot of work... I can make, without a problem, people like Torres, Faber (Already done), Brown, Pulver (Already done), Aldo, KID... But don't tell me to make stats for Fredson Paixao, Joe Warren or Dominick Cruz... Just because I couldn't see much of them and I don't think there's a lot of videos of them in youtube as they are unknown for most MMA fans xDD

were on the verge of being the best league on the internet. i think we should tread carefully before expanding like mad. just my two cents admin.

i know but if we do it just like we did the expansion and study the fighters i can help with Joe Warren a lot and i can help with findind stats i just think it would be better

this is pretty cool
now my friends can the fighters they want in LW or WW

I agree. I mean this place is growing pretty quickly yes. and it would be good to accomidate the new players. But at the same time it could get really really chaotic in here.

I agree, thats why just one weightclass for now I think that will set us up good for the time being!
