About
Built For The
Group Chat
Every fight week, the same thing happens. Someone posts the card. Everyone calls it. Someone insists they had the upset all along, and there is no way to prove otherwise.
Fight Week Picks exists to settle that. It is a free MMA prediction game: pick every fight on the card, lock it in before the first walkout, and let the leaderboard do the arguing on Sunday morning.
A Free MMA Prediction Game
Every card that runs, you pick the winner of each fight, and if you fancy it, how the fight ends and in which round. Points go up the more precisely you call it. There is a leaderboard for the card, a rolling table across recent cards, and an all time list for people who never miss one.
You can also start a private league, share a six character code, and run a table with just your mates in it. That is the part most people actually come back for.
Call the card
Pick every winner, method and round before the walkouts begin. Takes about a minute if you are only picking winners.
Lock it in
Picks close when the first fight starts. No changes once it is live, so everyone is working from the same information.
Settle it
Results score overnight. Wake up to a leaderboard and a screenshot worth sending to the group chat.
The full breakdown is on the scoring page, including the underdog bonus and how decisions are handled differently from finishes.
Anyone can pick a winner. Calling the round is a different thing entirely.
Roughly half of all fights go to the judges. Picking a winner is close to a coin flip once you get down the card. Calling the method and the round is where the people who actually watch pull away from the people who guess.
That gap is the whole game. A casual player fills a card in a minute. Someone who has watched a fighter’s last five outings scores three times as much for the same bout.
What it is not
There is no betting here
Fight Week Picks is free and always will be. There is no stake, no entry fee, no prize pot and no payout. We do not take bets, we do not publish odds, and we are not a gambling operator. The only thing at risk is your reputation in a WhatsApp group.
Not affiliated with any promotion
Fight Week Picks is an independent fan project. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by or connected to the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Zuffa, TKO Group Holdings, the Professional Fighters League, ONE Championship or any other promotion, and no such connection is implied. All promotion names, event names and fighter names are the property of their respective owners and are used here only to describe real fixtures and results.
Where the results come from
Fight cards for UFC numbered events, Fight Nights and other major promotions, along with results, finishing methods and rounds, are supplied by a third party sports data provider and imported automatically. Results are usually scored within an hour of a card finishing.
Data is not perfect. If a result looks wrong, tell us and it gets corrected and rescored. Cancelled and postponed bouts are voided, so nobody scores on them and nobody is punished for having picked them.
Free. No subscription, no paid tier, no premium picks.
You must be 16 or over to hold an account.
An email address and a display name. That is all we ask for.
Private by default. Only people with your code can join.
Who is behind it
Fight Week Picks is built and run from the UK by one person who got tired of unverifiable claims about who called the main event. It is a side project, not a company, which means it moves fast when something needs fixing and occasionally goes quiet during fight camp.
If something is broken, if a result is wrong, or if you have an idea worth building, say so. Feedback from people actually playing shapes what gets built next.
Get in touch
For corrections, include the card and the fight and it will be sorted before the next one.
Playing responsibly
This is a free game with no money attached, but MMA and betting sit close together and it is worth saying plainly. If gambling is causing you problems, help is available and free.
