Challenger Fantasy is a first-generation fantasy MMA platform built for fight fans who crave the opportunity to use their fight knowledge in strategic PVP games. Unlike other fantasy MMA games, Challenger’s structure and scoring is meticulously designed to transform every fight into a multi-dimensional contest rewarding precision, action, and performance.

What makes Challenger Fantasy different?

Most fantasy MMA platforms are glorified pick’ems. You choose who wins, how, then wait to see if you guessed right. That all-or-nothing model misses the depth of MMA, where performance matters as much as the result.

Challenger changes that. Our scoring system has been designed to reward in-fight performance, including strikes, takedowns, and more; with point values that can shift depending on the game mode. Every roster decision becomes a strategic choice: build a team of heavy strikers, relentless wrestlers, or balanced fighters to fit the format. Points are still earned for victories and finishes, but instead of only hoping your picks win, you’re also rewarded for predicting how they’ll fight.

Our featured tournaments use global leaderboards so you can test your fight IQ against everyone else, while upcoming private lobbies will make it easy to compete with friends and communities. The result is the most dynamic, social, and skill-driven fantasy MMA experience that currently exists.

What’s next?

We’re working on adding polish to the base game modes, developing a native mobile app, adding private leagues, seasonal formats, and new game modes with unique rules and modifiers. Our ultimate goal is to make MMA fantasy gaming as deep and dynamic as the sport itself.
