popyura Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 After an unthinkable loss and the even more unthinkable retirement of Anderson Silva, the UFC is set to embark on a new era. Following Silva’s retirement, Georges St. Pierre abruptly called it quits on his mixed martial arts career and a litany of fighters announced moves to new weight classes – including Jon Jones taking his talents to the Heavyweight Division. To usher in the next era of MMA, the UFC announced a series of “Super 6” tournaments at Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Middleweight, Light Heavyweight, and Heavyweight. Each competition starts with a group stage where each Mixed Martial Artist is meant to fight three times. A Mixed Martial Artist will be awarded three points for a win by knockout, technical knockout, submission or technical submission, two points for a win on points (or by disqualification), one point for a draw and 0 points for a loss. The top four from the group stage will continue to the semifinals, matching the leader against no. 4 and no. 2 against no. 3. The winners of the semifinals then proceeded to the tournament final. Super 6 Stages announced below: Featherweight Group Stage 1: Clay Guida Vs. Frankie Edgar Chad Mendes Vs. Cub Swanson Jung Chan-Sung Vs. Ricardo Lamas Group Stage 2: Clay Guida Vs. Chad Mendes Jung Chan-Sung Vs. Frankie Edgar Cub Swanson Vs. Ricardo Lamas Group Stage 3: Clay Guida Vs. Jung Chan-Sung Cub Swanson Vs. Frankie Edgar Ricardo Lamas Vs.
