Maybe you're right but it's debatable, besides thats why I said he should cross-promote with Huckaby who has the LHW franchise. # 15 mmaguy… Maybe you’re right but it’s debatable, besides thats why I said he should cross-promote with Huckaby who has the LHW franchise.

His career is on a comeback trail and a potential rematch with future superstar Brock Lesnar would be HUGE. Another good pick for Caplan would b Frank Mir.

Everyone wants to see the HW's and the other mock organisations will suffer having little HW talent. Looks like Kimbo might be fighting cans in fantasy land also. Caplan should pick AA, gonzaga, Kharitonov or big Nog next and neg cross-promotions with Huckaby. Caplan has the best plan I think (along with Huckaby).

Having the top fighters in the world doesn't matter at all if you can't get people to pay to watch them. Fedor’s not a quarter as known as Arlovski, and I’d argue he’s much less marketable as well.

Doesn't matter how good the fighters are you select if you can't draw fans. Lesnar's a gold mine for drawing fans, and Lesnar/Barnett/Fedor gives his organization to pull in the hardcores very fast by putting together interesting HW fights.

He's got 2 out of the 5 near-consensus P4P fighters in BJ and Anderson, and the fighter with arguably the biggest heart and mad submission skills in Big Nog. Not to mention that all three are current champions and you know all three bring it to every fight. I like Cava’s picks the best so far.

This draft is taking longer than the 20 plus hours of the NFL draft I'm going to watch this weekend.... Cava's still having the best draft with Ram right behind him. Huck is doing decent. Cupitt is starting to look better and has the steal of the draft so far with his latest pick. If you want a promotion that will be popular for a year then Morgan is doing pretty good. Caplan still bringing up the rear. Draft Rankings so far: 1. Cava 2. Ram 3. Huck 4. Cupitt 5. Morgan 6. Caplan Only on the 3rd round?

Shields was a good pick by morgan, but really could have been saved till later, to grab some more of the marquee names that might be lost to him due to choosing shields so early. One question: what's going to be the ceiling here? There's a lot of pro fighters out there, are we going to see draft round 136?

And for that reason I really, really like Sam Caplan and Huckaby's teams so far. I agree 100% on Barnett over Nog, Barnett has it all. I am interested in Sam Cupitt's team. He's got two big talkers and not really focused on one division, but his top two certainly can hype a build up a fight. Matt Cava has some of the best p4p fighters in the world, but no one for them to face, as all are seperated by two weight classes. Ram and Adam need more time to see how theirs pans out. So says the president of the AWAC (All World Athletic Commission). Expect daily drugs tests too. Exactly. And for that reason I really, really like Sam Caplan and Huckaby’s teams so far.

It takes two to tango. Drafting a fighter from a different weight class is a novel idea, but what if you don't have top fighters for them to face?
