How Contests Work

Scoring

Reignmakers UFC scoring will work the exact same as the DraftKings’ DFS scoring system users are accustomed to:

For more information on how the MMA scoring works on DraftKings, visit our Rules & Scoring page.

All lineups will feature a captain. Whichever fighter users place in their captain spot will receive a 1.5x bonus for all statistics accrued. Our DFS product has an entire page dedicated to MMA Captain Mode if looking for more information.

Contest Rarity Requirements

All Reignmakers fighter game cards have a series of properties associated with them and these properties impact the way you play the game

Card rarity is the most commonly used property to gate contests. Every contest will have rarity rules tied to entry.

The rarity requirements needed from Reignmakers UFC fighter game cards for the CORE, RARE, ELITE, LEGENDARY and REIGNMAKER tier contests for 2023 UFC Fight Nights are shown below:

Note: Captains must be at the rarity tier of the contest or higher so a RARE contest requires a captain to be at least of the RARE tier, ELITE contest requires a captain to be at least of the ELITE tier, etc.

Contest Fighter Requirements

Rosters are considered eligible as long as they include five (5) fighters scheduled to fight from a given event. No duplicate fighters are allowed. If a user owns multiple fighter game cards of the same fighter, they may be used in separate lineups but not within the same lineup. I.e. Nassourdine Imamov cannot be rostered twice within the same five (5) fighter lineup.

Contest Types for UFC Fight Nights Moving Forward

2023 UFC Fight Nights will include contests at all rarity levels moving forward. Essentially, each UFC Fight Night will include a CORE contest, a RARE contest, an ELITE contest, a LEGENDARY contest and a REIGNMAKER contest.

Prizing

UFC Fight Night events will include $125,000 in total fantasy contest prizing, while Pay-Per-View contests will include $250,000 in total fantasy contest prizing!

The $125,000 UFC Fight Night prize pool will be divided by rarity tier as follows:

Pack Price and Odds of Getting CORE vs. RARE

UFC Fight Night Fighter Card Utility

All fighters within UFC Fight Night fighter packs are scheduled to fight on that weekend’s card and are eligible to roster within that specific UFC Fight Night’s contests. All fighter game cards within 2023 Event Set packs from here on out will only be usable within their specific event (notated on both the packs and the fighter game cards). Once the event has ended, these players will no longer be draftable within Reignmakers UFC contests. However, these fighter game cards can be used within the crafting portal and may be required at a later date to enter specific portfolio-gated contests.

With only 7,636 packs available for the event, supplies will go fast!

What Sets Will Be Playable Within UFC Fight Night 1.14.23?

Heatwave, UFC 281, UFC 282, Genesis and UFC Fight Night 1.14.23 fighter game cards will all be playable within UFC Fight Night 1.14.23 gameplay.

FAQ

Can I Play Rarer Fighter Game Cards in Less Rare Contests?

Yes, if a contest requires a card to be “RARE or higher” or “RARE+: that means an ELITE, LEGENDARY or REIGNMAKER tier card may be used in that given roster spot as well. If a contest requires an “ELITE or higher” or “ELITE+” card, LEGENDARY and REIGNMAKER fighter game cards may also be used in that given roster spot. If a contest requires a “LEGENDARY or higher” or “LEGENDARY+” card, a REIGNMAKER tier card may also be used in that roster spot.

Will there be ELITE, LEGENDARY and REIGNMAKER contests?

Yes, beginning in 2023, Reignmakers UFC contests will be offered at all rarity levels. Now that the “Weigh-In” phase is over, ELITE, LEGENDARY and REIGNMAKER contests will be offered at UFC Fight Night and Pay-Per-View Events.

How Do I Dictate Which Fighter I Start in the Captain Spot?

There is a designated captain spot within rosters. Any fighter placed in the captain spot will have their score multiplied by 1.5x.

What Happens if a Fighter is Removed from the Card or Their Fight is Canceled?

The fighter will receive a “0” but will still be eligible to be played within UFC Fight Night contests. A lineup with a scratched fighter included would still be eligible for payouts. If a fighter is scratched prior to 12 p.m. ET on the Friday leading up to the event and a replacement fighter is announced, users holding the scratched fighter will receive an airdrop of the replacement fighter. If a replacement fighter is not announced, the fight is canceled, or a fighter is scratched after the 12 p.m. ET deadline, holders of the scratched fighter card will receive a ticket to a $5,000 make-good DFS contest for the next upcoming UFC card. In the contest, each eligible scratched fighter will receive a corresponding allotment of DFS make-good contest tickets.

Can I Start Fighters In Lineup Spots that are Not Scheduled to Fight in this week’s UFC Fight Night?

No, fighters who are not a specific UFC Fight Night card are ineligible to be played within the given UFC Fight Nights’ contests. Fighters are defined as “on the card” if they are listed in DraftKings’ draftable pool.
