This event will run with the Ultimate Fighter formula of 2 coaches running teams of 16 in a tournament format.
- 2 Coaches. Ryzomack vs BlimBlapZing
- 32 legends in any weightclass (Legend tokens will be provided)
- Team Coaches cannot enter their own fighters into the event
- Please submit any legend you feel is worthy and he will be entered for selection
- When all 32 fighters have entered the event, both Team Coaches will send me a number between 0 and 100, the coach who guesses closest to my number will get the choice of picking the 1st fighter or the 1st fight
- Team Coaches take turns picking the fighters they want on their team until both teams consist of 16 fighters
- If we don't get 32 legends from 32 different coaches then coaches will be allowed to submit another legend if they so choose NOTE: this 2nd legend may be picked for the opposing team to their 1st legend
The Wildcard fight happens straight after round 1 and consists of a fighter who advanced on Team Ryzo vs a fighter who lost a split decision on Team Blim. This fight will be a best of 3 fight with the fighter who wins two fights advancing to round 2.
To decide who gets the 1st fight pick in the Quarter Finals the coaches will compete in The Coaches Challenge.
Each coach had to select 10 fighters from the bottom of their retired rosters. Ryzomack chose to pick the bottom 5 from 2 camps, whereas BlimBlapZing chose to pick the bottom 3,3 and 4 from 3 camps. Then the coaches gave each fighter a number between 1 and 10. Each numbered fighter will be matched with the fighter with the same number on the opponent's team so we have 10 matches. Each fight will be contested at Catchweight
Each win = 1 point A Finish = An extra 2 points! The most creative/destructive finish at the end of the 10 fights = An extra 5 points!
The coach with the most points at the end of the 10 fights wins the Coaches Challenge and picks the 1st fight in the Quarter Finals.
So at the end of the 10 fights it's 5-5 in match wins, each fight ended in a finish so the scores are 15-15. It all comes down to the extra 5 points for the most creative/destructive finish... Both teams had equally creative finishes so they BOTH get 5 extra points taking it to 20-20!!!!
Due to Markov not showing up for his Semi Final fight, the Semi Finalist without an opponent requested a fight between the losing Semi Finalist and the fighter who lost to Markov last round, the winner of this fight will fight in the 2nd Semi Final.
