MMA fantasy fans, it's time to get in the game.
ESPN experts Brett Okamoto, Mike Huang and Reed Kuhn will compete in our second MMA Fantasy Draft, beginning Thursday at noon ET.
Here's how it works: Over four rounds, Okamoto, Huang and Kuhn will draft fighters on Saturday's UFC 178 card in Las Vegas. The first overall draft pick will be made at 12:15 p.m. ET, with selections following every five minutes except for a 10-minute break between rounds. The actual draft order will be announced at the start of the draftcast.
In our fantasy draft, picking winners isn't enough. Our scoring system (in the table on the right) rewards dominance.
The key is to draft fighters who won't just win, but win decisively. On the other hand, picking a loser whose night comes to an early end will result in negative points.
Join us on Thursday at noon and take part in the fun. You can submit questions, comments, suggestions during the draft and via Twitter at #mmadraftcast.
