LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ARE LIVE!
UFC Fight Night: Krylov vs Spann - 2.25.23 marks the next UFC Fight Night event of the 2023 Reignmakers UFC season. Beginning on Tuesday, January 14, 2023, users will be able to choose from CORE, RARE, ELITE, LEGENDARY and REIGNMAKER tier contests, which will hold true for all Reignmakers UFC events moving forward.
Moving forward, all UFC Fight Night Event Packs will come in one SKU. Unlike UFC 281 and UFC 282 Event Packs, 2023 UFC Fight Night packs will include five (5) Fighter Game Cards with one guaranteed RARE+ card. The pack pool will include all participating fighters in the event and cards of all rarities. Each of the fighters scheduled to fight at UFC Fight Night: Krylov vs Spann - 2.25.23 will be included in the pack pool with a supply of 1,200 CORE tier Fighter Game Cards, 300 RARE tier Fighter Game Cards, 75 ELITE tier Fighter Game Cards, 15 LEGENDARY tier Fighter Game Cards and 1 REIGNMAKER tier Fighter Game Card.
Along with the pack drop, REIGNMAKER tier Fighter Game Cards will be auctioned throughout the course of the week. For clarity, one (1) edition of each fighter participating in the event will have a REIGNMAKER tier Fighter Game Card within the pack pool and another REIGNMAKER tier Fighter Game Card for auction. In totality, fighters will have two REIGNMAKER tier Fighter Game Card editions released per fight.
How Contests Work
Scoring
Reignmakers UFC scoring will work the exact same as the DraftKings’ DFS scoring system users are accustomed to:
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24437964/Screen_Shot_2023_02_16_at_1.12.34_PM.png)
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 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 cards for the CORE, RARE, ELITE, LEGENDARY and REIGNMAKER tier contests for 2023 are shown below:
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24437968/Screen_Shot_2023_02_16_at_1.14.18_PM.png)
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. Example: Ryan Spann 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!
Pack Price and Odds of Getting CORE vs RARE
The cost of a UFC Fight Night pack will be $19.99 and each pack will guarantee at least one (1) fighter game card that is of the RARE rarity tier or higher (which includes ELITE, LEGENDARY and REIGNMAKER). Only the 26 fighters scheduled to fight at UFC Fight Night: Krylov vs Spann - 2.25.23 will be included in the pack pool.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24440453/Screen_Shot_2023_02_17_at_11.57.38_AM.png)
Each fighter in UFC Fight Night Event Packs will have 1,200 CORE editions, 300 RARE editions, 75 ELITE editions, 15 LEGENDARY editions and one (1) REIGNMAKER edition, equating to 31,200 total CORE tier cards, 7,800 total RARE tier cards, 1,950 total ELITE tier cards, 390 total LEGENDARY tier cards and 26 total REIGNMAKER tier cards within the UFC Fight Night: Krylov vs Spann - 2.25.23 pack pool.

UFC Fight Night Fighter Game Card Utility

Once the event has ended, these players will no longer be draftable within Reignmakers UFC contests. However, these cards can be used within the crafting portal and may be required at a later date to enter specific portfolio-gated contests.

FAQ
Can I Play Rarer 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 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?
If the fighter is removed from the card or their fight is canceled before the contest player pool has been posted, the fighter will not be eligible to be played within UFC contests that week. If the fighter is removed from the card or the fight is canceled after the contest player pool has been posted, the fighter will receive a “0” but will be eligible to be played within UFC contests that week. 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 Game Card will receive tickets to one of two $5,000 make-good DFS contests. In these contests, tickets will be distributed as follows:
$5,000 CORE + RARE Contest = 1 ticket per CORE fighter, 2 tickets per RARE fighter
$5,000 ELITE + LEGENDARY + RM Contest = 1 ticket per ELITE fighter, 2 tickets per LEGENDARY fighter, 3 tickets for RM fighter
Can I Start Fighters In Lineup Spots that are Not Scheduled to Fight in UFC Fight Night: Krylov vs Spann - 2.25.23?
