Abstract: This invention provides a method and system for administering and playing a mixed martial arts fantasy sports game. The game is based on the statistical performance of mixed martial artists fighting in real-world sporting events. Game play occurs by means of a database configuration supporting an electronic listing of fighter information, fantasy game player and team information, and fantasy game scoring information, as well as one or more electronic user interfaces for game participation and fantasy team selection. The game proceeds by selecting a team of mixed martial arts fighters whose fights are predicted to end prior to a judge's decision. The game is scored based on the speed of the fights of each of the winning fighters on each team, where the shorter the fight duration, the greater the scoring value to the team, and, in certain embodiments, is also scored based on the manner of the conclusion of the fights.
