In short, it works similar to the Tapology Survivor game in the sense that it continues every week until there's a winner (or in some cases in this game no winner) but instead of picking your fighters, get assigned a random fighter from the upcoming UFC card and hope they win.
FORMAT:
1) To enter, simply say that you want to enter at the start of a new game. The length of the games depend entirely on how long it takes to either find a winner or eliminate everyone.
2) Then, you will randomly be assigned a fighter from the upcoming UFC card. This will be decided by me using this site I found wheeldecide.com and putting all the fighters names on a wheel and going through the list of players one by one and spinning the wheel to decide which fighter they get. I'll make a very low quality video of the draw and post it here to show I'm not deliberately messing with anyone in particular. It might mean that some people end up with the same fighter but that doesn't affect the game as it's more of an everybody fighting for themselves kinda game rather than a head to head game.
3) If your randomly assigned fighter wins their fight then you're through to the next round. If their fight get cancelled or postponed then I'll count it as a loss as it would be considered unlucky. Draws and no contests will also count as losses for the same reason. This happens every week until there is only one left and they will be the winner. In a unique twist to make the game as stupid as possible, if everyone eventually goes out, then nobody wins the game and the game will be marked in the record books as "nobody ******* won" or something like that. For example, if there are 2 or 3 people left and they all have losing fighters then nobody wins the game. I feel this also adds weight to the game as you have to be REALLY lucky to be a winner as you literally have to be luckier than every other competitor to be the only one left standing!
WHAT DOES THE WINNER GET?
A place on the list of winners that will be displayed on the opening post of every new game and their current AV put on the new game poster (see below) in the middle of the horseshow so they effectively become the poster boy/girl/other for the new game!
Any questions, just ask! And remember, please don't take this game too seriously! I mean, it's practically a satire of the Survivor Game when you think about it lol!
For the sake of record keeping and historical intrigue, here's the link to the Tapology Lucky Bastard Game: 1st Edition that was on a separate thread: https://www.tapology.com/forum/threads/68098
"I wish you good luck but I don't want you to rely on luck"
I've just recorded the video before seeing this and I've referred to you as @CaptnKbec in it but supposing you get through the 3rd round, I'll update the excel sheet to reflect your new name. It just means there's one less "C" player in the game now lol! Good luck!

Using the wheel in the link below and spinning again when it landed on a 4th or 5th round option for a 3 round fight, here are this week's wheely random picks!
Rayanne dos Santos freezes like popsicle for Alice Ardelean to add up her significant strikes and gets the Unanimous Decision in her first ever UFC victory! However her victory comes at a cost as 22nd edition winner kushycake becomes the first bastard added to the eliminated…
Bolaji Oki out muscles and powers “Texas Kid” Michael Aswell in a WAR and earns himself a UD win for not himself but the newcomer in Geneva65, making him the first bastard through to Round 4!!
Jordan Leavitt suplex and snags UFC vet Kurt Holobaugh in a NASTY and slick anaconda choke in the very first round! Our first 2v1 concludes with Team ccalfoth44 overcoming and cooking The Duck DamienHandel420 alive as they continue to Roudn 4 alongside Geneva
The two Brazilian flyweight contenders Allan Nascimento & Jafael Filho get into an all time jujutsu scrap-fest with Nascimento coming out the victor!!! and for Team CoolHandRigno that means certain entry intro Round 4!!!
Zachary Reese puts his barricades up and adds his name to the growing list of Duško Todorovićs loss record concluding our other 2v1 Lucky Bastards Main Event in PiggyBank getting one over on Team AyyLmaoRuiz!
Dustin Jacoby turns back the contender series prospect Bruno Lopes in true vet fashion with a barrage of left hooks in Round 1, gifting CaptnKbec a spot for the next round!
Mateusz Gamrot puts on a clinical performance against “Mr. Highlight” Ľudovít Klein as they become the last minute Main Event and gives Siunsix the final spot into Round 4 against the merciless Wheel (although given the numbers some would argue he’s more merciful than ever)
I regret to inform that because of the main event being cancelled during the show… Cheeseball was shot out back by The Wheel himself… talk about sending a message….
13 lucky bastards answered the bell for the 3rd round. 8 rise for the 4th. Yet another very generous 38.46% elimination rate from @The Wheel
The 8 remaining lucky bastards are:
Calfoth
TheMatchmaker (CaptnKbec)
ccollins44
CoolHandPuke
Geneva65
PiggyBank
Rigno
Siunsix
As per the rules of the game, because the Erin Blanchfield VS Maycee Barber fight got cancelled at the last minute, @Cheeseballwho had Erin Blanchfield, has been eliminated in very anti-climatic fashion.
Good luck to the 8 remaining lucky bastards!

Using the wheel in the link below and spinning again when it landed on a 4th or 5th round option for a 3 round fight, here are this week's wheely random picks!
Quillan Salkilld SURVIVES against the Israeli lightweight Yanal Ashmouz in a close contest giving Team CoolHandRigno a access as first entry into Round 5 and a chance to win it all!
The debuting Korean prospect Joo Sang Yoo makes EASY WORK of Jeka Saragih, putting him away with a clean left hook to make Saragih fall like a tree. In doing so, he launches Calfoth into Round 5 like an Angry Bird™
Khaos Williams doesn't show up whatsoever against Andreas "Bane" Gustafsson and gets turned into grated cheese for 3 rounds, ultimately letting down TheMatchmaker...(formally the user knows as CaptnKbec)
Serghei Spivac goes to a close war with Waldo Cortes-Acosta and comes up with the short end of the stick alongside Siunsix as The Wheel truly proves they won't give EVERYONE a pass tonight.
Bruno Silva tries to take out the younger prospect in Joshua Van and gets the tables turned on him massively as the Flyweight Brazilian Bulldog gets muzzled for the 3rd round and given to 3x PiggyBank as a pet and reminder of his shortcoming.
Joe Pyfer puts on a damn snoozer of a performance against the non-disciplined Kelvin Gastelum getting a decision win and ultimately putting an end to the debuting Geneva65 in a very unsatisfying way.
Kayla Harrison swats "The Venezuelan Vixen" Julianna Peña away like a annoying fly and takes her Bantamweight title as gift to all of us!!! Even more so gifting fight editor ccollins44 a spot into the illustrious ROUND 5! The Wheel cuts the competition and half yet again
(extra glad Julianna lost for her terrible choice in walkout music)
And to really rub it in, as soon as @CaptnKbec changed his name to @TheMatchmaker, he got eliminated. I guess @The Wheelhas a soft spot for names beginning with "C" which is fitting given there's only one word beginning with "C" to describe @The Wheel!
