BECW UFC on Fox 2 Recap

Well, that was a strange night of fights. After a long string of exciting events we were treated to a maincard that featured Pro Elite heavyweight level cardio and a bunch of dudes hugging interspersed with bits of fighting here and there.

Note that the scores have changed from the ones that were published just after the event as Weidman's split decision win was converted into a unanimous one. This would end up having huge implications as the overall individual leader changed because of it while a different team ended up in first place for the event.

The BE camp heavily favoured Roop (87%), Roller (86%) and Beltran (82%) and as a result, only three teams avoided setting a new season-low record. The camp average was a measly 42.6 points, worse than UFC 142 (43.5) though not quite as bad as UFC 140 (40.2) and the TUF 14 Finale card (41.2). DiazHomiez' camp-high score of 74 was 20 points from the top score on Playground and even our beloved Juggalo, Seth Smiley, failed to produce a standout score.

As usual, I will update this FanPost with new stats and graphs as I finish them. Thanks to the spreadsheet-to-html code converter I found on the net there'll be plenty of tables this time around, so I'm introducing a table of contents to hopefully make it seem like this isn't a total clusterfuck of borderline-autistic vomit.

A great performance from captain hyundai moves him into first place. Tats16 makes the top three while DiazHomiez and Luke Nelson's top 2 event scores move them into the top 10. Ironically, DiazHomiez had picked Weidman by split decision and must've thought he'd made the best single pick all season. Had the verdict remained split, pistonhyundai would have had 4 points less and DiazHomiez 4 points more - in other words, DiazHomiez would have been in first place.

The biggest movers were afrotikighosn who jumped into the top half at 40th and is beginning to justify his second round pick status and EmptyThoughts who made it to 52nd place with a score of 57. Both guys improved by an impressive 24 places. Also, we should honour Bertha who is quietly having a very good season and jumped into the top third at 34th, a gain of 19 places.

If SethSmiley had kept up his remarkable start to the season they would have finished in the top 3, but in the absence of really high scores, their hopes of cutting the lead at the top suffered another blow.

Hands down the most impressive score by any team as The Reccing Machines defied odds by placing 2nd despite nitecastle missing picks for a second straight week. If nitecastle had put up an event-average 41 points, the Filipinos would have placed first. Even without him, they actually placed first until a recount showed that Chris Weidman's victory was unanimous rather than split.

My score sucked and almost didn't count, but thanks to an outstanding performance from Luke Nelson and a lot of very solid scores, INEPT finished first for the third time. It was a low-scoring event so not a lot of damage was done, but c'mon guys, this is too easy!

In order to get a better idea of how the standings have developed, take a look at the following graph which displays how many points each team is from first place:

On display: the motion sickness-inducing slide of Luke Thomas' Beard, the tight battle for 2nd place and the relatively small impact UFC on Fox 2 had overall.

Ladies and gentlemen, dribblebib has done it! With another great score combined with SethSmiley's first subpar score, the lead has changed.

4. What a difference a season makes

Before the draft, I created a set of power rankings in the hopes of securing the best team possible. The following stats are based on the difference between last season's performance and the first four events of season two. To be eligible for the list, a player must have picked more than two season 1 events. Participation in season 1 of the civil war is not required.

The different numbers in the tables represent the following:

S1 Rank: Season 1 rank out of the 80 players

#: Number of events picked in the first season

S1 D: Total deviation from the average score in season 1

S2 Rank: Season 2 rank out of the 80 players

S1-S2: The difference in rank between season 1 and season 2

S2 D: Total deviation from the average score in season 2

D Diff: Difference in deviation from the average score from season 1 to season 2

4a. Biggest improvements

Name S1 Rank # S1 D S2 Rank S1-S2 S2 D D Diff
1 mlzybaby 77 9 -9,30 10 67 10,91 20,21
2 pistonhyundai 56 5 -2,98 1 55 16,91 19,89
3 sday420 66 10 -6,29 7 59 12,91 19,19
4 KMcCaig 75 10 -9,29 18 57 8,16 17,44
5 IKilled007 78 10 -10,09 25 53 6,41 16,49
6 av1o3 68 10 -6,49 15 53 8,66 15,14
7 Andy_Davis 73 10 -9,09 28 45 5,41 14,49
8 halitosis 30 10 1,91 5 25 14,41 12,49

10 HurricaneHeron 75 10 -9,29 33 42 3,16 12,44

Some incredible improvements from last season, led by 10th ranked mlzybaby who has surprised everyone with the possible exception of his captain who happens to be ranked 1st overall and comes in second on this list. Completing the top 3 is ANOTHER member of the Filipino Reccing Machines, sday420. Also, props must go to halitosis and Tats16 who have turned solid season 1 scores into outstanding season 2 scores.

4b. Biggest drop-offs

Name S1 Rank # S1 D S2 Rank S1-S2 S2 D D Diff
1 TomFlynn 28 10 2,31 79 -51 -18,84 -21,16
2 zakkree 10 10 7,01 67 -57 -5,34 -12,36
3 lanky6 2 10 12,51 42 -40 0,91 -11,61
4 DreamingofFighting 58 9 -3,52 78 -20 -14,34 -10,82
5 StevenGiles 36 10 1,01 73 -37 -9,34 -10,36
6 crazybones 1 10 17,41 19 -18 7,91 -9,51
7 SteveevaD 32 10 1,81 70 -38 -6,34 -8,16
8 pridedaze09 34 10 1,31 70 -36 -6,34 -7,66
9 Manch1ld 8 10 7,41 45 -37 -0,09 -7,51
10 bonesthebaptist 36 10 1,01 69 -33 -6,09 -7,11

TomFlynn had a good first season but hasn't been able to get going this season. Zachary has steadied the ship with two slightly above average performances, but he has still had a terrible second season by his standards. The same goes for lanky6 who had just one below average score during all of season 1. Also making the list is crazybones who is a victim of his own success, having torn through season 1 with remarkable scores and finding himself unable to replicate his stellar scores.

5. Overachievers

This table is obviously similar to the "Biggest improvements" table in that the ones that have improved are the same ones that were picked late and are overachieving. This list includes rookies and almost-rookies as well, though, and better answers the question "who was the steal of the draft?"

Rank Draft pick Name Score Overall rank Difference
1 90 diazhomiez 267 4 +86
2 100 SethSmiley 245 15 +85
3 86 dribblebib 260 8 +78
4 72 Sweet Scientist 254 10 +62

17 73 gspmademegay 213 49 +24
19 29 LukeNelson 264 6 +23
20 24 Tats 270 3 +21

With his camp-high UFC on Fox 2 performance, DiazHomiez has leapt into first place. Congrats to mlzybaby, Monte Fisto, Luke Nelson and Tats16 who made the list despite being picked in the first half of the draft.

6. Captain table

Rank Name Score Overall rank
1 pistonhyundai 274 1
2 wonderfulspam 235 26
3 Kaleb Kelchner 218 40
4 Most Diabolical Earl 208 52
5 Paulo Filho's Psychiatrist 202 59
6 TCEngel 201 61
7 OurBovinePublic 197 73
8 inthepipes 191 78
9 zakkree 185 88
10 krcampbell 173 95

No surprises as pistonhyundai expands his lead at the top. MDE is barely above average while six captains are performing below average, krcampbell being way below.

Ad. 1. Still to come, feedback and various notes

I'm thinking we should have a proper half-season recap after Diaz vs Condit, meaning half-season awards for best rookie, MVP, best & worst captain (based on team performance, hype & trash talk, no. of overperforming players, consistency, etc.), most inconsistent player, and whatever you can come up with.

I just signed up to MMA Playground and this was my 1st event making picks..

I went 7-3 and had 47 points.

I just sent a request to join the BE Civil War camp.

It won't be accepted

Only players in the Civil War are in the camp to make it easier to do the stats.

I think discoandherpes, kreally and someone else started a prospects league to keep track of scores for those who want to participate in the next season.

47 is a solid first score for an event like this, btw.

So I have to join a prospects league? What’s the name and how do I join? If I don’t join the prospect league, can I still participate in the Civil War next season?

I didn’t find out about MMA Playground until just this past week or else I would have been in from the start.

Teams are complete for this season. Only CW players are in to make it easier totally the scores after each event.

You’ll be able to join the draft when next season starts. The last event of this season is UFC 145. Till then you can make your picks to build a track record and give captains an idea of your picking skills.

Try again in a few days, then

I don’t know what we’re going to do next season (see my discussion with JDH on overpopulation below) but it would be good if you could manage the prospects camp so whenever someone asks how to join, we just refer them to you.

Once you get it set up you’ll just need to pull the scores from PG (non-camp members won’t be able to access them) and e-mail me and I’ll keep track of them in my recaps.

wait, we're neck and neck in the underachievers table?

Is that being compared to point total after 4 events last season or standings? Because I find it hard to believe that being ~10-13 places worse than last season’s standing puts one in even the upper half of the underachievers.

My comment had the “if you do make it” disclaimer – I haven’t made the list yet and to be honest, I think crazybones is the only one who has a chance of making it thanks to his ridiculous scores last season since the table is going to be based on difference in points deviation from the average rather than last season’s rank vs this season’s rank.

I did not expect this to be a grinder like it was. Once Johnson slept Beltran, I knew instantly that all of my instincts on this card would turn out to be wrong, which was the case (outside of Weidman).

Sort of like a supercharged weed trip but much more lucid. I sometimes think more clearly or have an easier time thinking abstract thoughts when I’m stoned but, to sound like a cliched hippie, this was a different kind of knowing. Safe to say it’s the most creative and in tune with my impulses I’ve ever felt though I’m sure it doesn’t compare to acid, etc.

BTW

When Tim Burke posted the staff prediction stats for 2011, I asked him if the staff wanted to play. He had been under the impression that members of staff couldn’t play (the BE vs Mania rule) but I told him we’d happily let them play. What do you say, should we make a concerted effort to coerce them into playing?

Neil already plays, and at the beginning of season 1...

I said that anyone could play, rookies, staff, etc. So they’re all welcome. The top performers here are better than them anyway and they don’t even have to pick method or round. I say let the coercion begin. I kinda already think it’s crazy that crazybones doesn’t get an honorary spot in the staff picks pieces.

Yup, I know about -Neil-

Tim Burke has a PG profile as well (BeerMonster) but he didn’t make picks for UFC on Fox 2 for some reason.

I’ll put up a fanpost on Wednesday or Thursday directed at the staff & anyone else who isn’t playing. I kinda like the current number of players because I still have an idea who everyone is, but I feel bad for all those guys missing out on the fun in the live threads.

And as for crazybones, I agree. How awesome would it be though if the top picker every event got the chance to post his predictions for the next event alongside the staff predictions?

we have enough problems with reliability when the recruiting fanpost goes up a week before the season starts. Plus, I wouldn’t want it too much bigger than this unless we have no choice- I already don’t know all the team names or who’s on what team this season…

by John Danaher's Hair on Jan 29, 2012 5:19 PM EST up reply actions  

Well

I wouldn’t want to recruit anybody, just encourage people to sign up for MMA Playground and make picks so next season’s captains have something to base their choices on.

Going forward, I think it should be a minimum requirement that everyone who signs up makes picks for at least one event before they’re eligible so we sort out the guys that sign up and forget all about it.

I see your point on not growing much. I guess we might need to agree on some sort of limit, it’s just that I feel bad for all the guys that are missing out on the fun.

Anyway, I’ll stick to a fanpost challenging the staff, then.

What could be fun

Would be if we set a limit, say 150 players, and offered everyone from this season a berth in the new season. Depending on how many decided to keep playing there would be maybe 60 spots open to newcomers. If 200 new guys signed up then those 200 would have to fight to get drafted, either by sucking up, talking trash and/or proving their mettle by picking fights.

How much fun would that draft be?

And yes, people had plenty of time to respond this time around. Maybe it’s because I’m a captain this season, but it feels like the civil war has got crazier this year and a lot of people are asking how to sign up.

Kid Nate who hasn’t made a pick since UFC 81, wisely so
Mike Fagan who did ok-ish in his seven events
Anton Tabuena who has a respectable 60% career record after making nearly 600 picks
Scott Broussard who has a very decent 62% career record
And of course Derek Suboticki whose UFC 101 picks deserve a second look. Forrest over Griffin is a pretty badass pick.

JESUS FUCK I AM SUCH A DOUCHETARD.

I thought I had this event DOWN. I was dead set on two thirds of my picks, I berated my glorious underlings into changing their picks to fucking Maia, and I don’t know if Leonard sold Demian some of his special coke blend or what because jesus fuck I want to strangle Demian right now. Enclosed are excerpts from some of the emails I sent the Sleepers:

If you don’t have Sonnen by UD you are deluded

Um… Well, I guess I was sort of right.

I see a lot of picks for Weidman. You are fucking nuts.

Eh. To be fair, it seemed like a straightforward fight.

Look at this like the Mike Pyle-John Hathaway fight: solid prospect going against a specialist vet who is going to throw shit at him that he can’t even SPELL.

A reasonable assumption. After all, Maia is a former ADCC chapi-what’s that, Wikipedia?

Weidman qualified for and competed at the 2009 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship

Oh come the fuck on you can’t be serious still there’s no way he

where he lost to world renowned Jiu-Jitsu practitioner André Galvão in a very close match.

ARE YOU SHITTING ME

In closing, I suck, kill me. War Bertha.

I had Maia, too.

I was steadfast in that pick, never wavering for even a second. Oops.

I did flip-flop on Swanson/Roop and Russow/Einemo 10 times or so and, fortunately, ended up on the right pick for both.

Idk, we got one Juggalo who got off to a good start this season but is too busy playing with his toy hatchet to be consistent, and another from last season who got lost at the gathering of the juggalos and stopped making picks. Or maybe he died. Pretty sure some of those people get killed by other crazy people.

Though my name made headlines this post, I really just put up my fairly consistent number range.

Disappointments of the evening include. Roller in general who I am finally getting over as a fighter. He showed a fair bit of promise in the WEC imo and since coming to the UFC he has just not shined at all. Otherwise, not sticking to my Swanson pick which would have netted me perfect points. I convinced myself late that Roop has been looking good even in his loses and would ride out a decision.

Anyways though, I only looked good in this one because so many others looked bad. Can’t take credit for that. :)

ps. These wrap up posts are getting better and better. Great job wonderfulspam.

OK, so...

It’s my understanding that Sonnen-Bisping fight was actually a split decision and that the scores were read wrong initially. Is this correct? Will playground update it? If not, does it get changed manually for BECW or do we keep our 11s?

Apparently it was a mistake in a report. The fight was a UD.

Really?

So Sonnen-Bisping was read in the cage as UD Sonnen, then we were told that it was actually SD Sonnen (http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2012/1/29/2756242/ufc-on-fox-bisping-sonnen-dana-white), but now you’re saying it was actually a UD Sonnen…

Well that’s good for me.

What Sweet Scientist said

But in any case, Playground updated the Weidman – Maia verdict so if Bisping – Sonnen had in fact been a split decision I’m sure PG would have fixed it.

I've actually been somewhat impressed with you

Granted, you’re still performing below your draft pick and slightly below what my draft sheet suggested, but I thought that what with all the abuse I’ve hurled at you and T.C. you’d succumb to the pressure and do really poorly.

I’m very unimpressed with Horselover not being able to outscore you, though.
