Reignmakers UFC ”Weigh-in” Phase Takes Next Step with UFC 282

UFC 282 Event Packs are Coming

UFC 282 will be our second and final set of contests within our “Weigh-in” phase of Reignmakers UFC. During this sneak peek period, only CORE and RARE contests will be available. Heatwave set cards of Magomed Ankalaev/Paddy Pimblett, along with UFC 282 event packs, will be playable in either rarity format. Beginning in 2023, contest formats will expand, but this phase will continue to allow early adopters to get their first taste of what Reignmakers UFC action will look like.

Similarly to UFC 281, UFC 282 Event Packs will come in one SKU and will guarantee purchasers four (4) CORE tier cards and one (1) RARE tier card. Each of the 28 fighters scheduled to fight at UFC 282 will be included in the pack pool with a supply of 300 CORE tier cards and 75 RARE tier cards.

How Contests Work

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

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 fighter cards for the CORE and RARE contests for UFC 282 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.

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 cards of the same fighter, they may be used in separate lineups but not within the same lineup. For example, Jiri Prochazka cannot be rostered twice within the same five (5) fighter lineup.

Both UFC 281 and UFC 282 contests will be included in the “Weigh-in” phase of the Reignmakers UFC product, which is a soft launch to the product. One CORE contest and one RARE contest will be available each week, and rosters can be filled by fighters from either Heatwave or UFC 281/UFC 282 Event Packs.

UFC 282 contests will include a RARE contest with $50,000 in cash prizes and a CORE contest with $50,000 in cash prizes.

The cost of a UFC 282 Event Pack will be $49.99, and each pack will guarantee users one (1) RARE tier fighter and four (4) CORE tier fighters. Only the 28 fighters scheduled to fight at UFC 282 will be included in the pack pool.

Each fighter in UFC 282 packs will have 300 CORE editions and 75 RARE editions, equating to 8,400 total CORE tier cards and 2,100 total RARE tier cards within the pack pool.

How to Build Your Lineup

Event packs will be an ongoing theme for Reignmakers UFC, as they will be available for purchase in anticipation of every Pay-Per-View and UFC Fight Night, beginning in 2023. During our “Weigh-in” phase, packs will be scarcer, as there will be a more limited choice of contest offerings (only CORE and RARE rarity tiers).

Packs will consist of CORE and RARE tier NFTs for all 28 fighters scheduled to fight on UFC 282:
