Choose a weight class, your options are; 125 lbs, 135 lbs, 145 lbs, 155 lbs, 170 lbs, 185 lbs, 205 lbs, and 265 lbs. Once you choose your weight class you’ll be given either a few or several sub top 15 opponents before given a chance at fighting ranked opponents. Whether you are given many or few sub top 15 opponents is dependent on how good you looked in the fight and how good you are at publicizing yourself, trash talk, and entertainment when it comes time to fight. Each time before a fight a few things happen; a press conference where all the fighters in an event get together and are asked questions by the press and get a chance to trash talk. There are many fights in one night, these are called events. They are either called “IFL Fight Nights” which feature seven total main card fights or “IFC: (number)” which also feature seven fights but are much more high profile. The main event of a Fight Night could be around a number ten ranked guy fighting a number eight ranked guy, while main events for numbered events are usually championship bouts or are between two stars or top three fighters. Bouts are three or five rounds each one lasting five minutes. Before each fight you also get a basic description on your next opponent such as if they have any previous wins over top fifteen fighters and what their style is, for example they could be well rounded, an elite striker, or a tough wrestler/jiu jitsu submission artist. If you are a previously highly ranked fighter and decide to move up or down a weight class, you’ll usually be given an immediate fight against a top 15 fighter, or if you’re a champion you’ll get a special Champion vs Champion bout for example a feather weight (145) champion could move up to lightweight and get a title shot at the light weight (155) champion. An example of a description would be “John Doe: an infamous counter striker who likes to shell up and deliver brutal hooks when his opponent rushes him. However he is untested in grappling. Ranked #13 in bantamweight”
