I've developed universes where my biggest struggle is setting up monthly schedules or when/how to match contenders.
Thank you, sir!

First thanks for the kind words! Appreciate you reading.
I set my random scheduler set up to have anywhere between 20% and 40% of my fighters fight each month. Once that number is selected I put the number in and the autoscheduler spits out the active fighters and matchups. Only caveat is 60 days rest.
If the champ is active he always defends against the highest rated guy scheduled to fight. Only exception is if he is due for a mandatory defense (a title rematch or a defense against the #1 contender). So in a rare instance (it’s happened once) a champ doesn’t come up in the scheduler for 12 months. He’s then stripped of the title Ricky Hatton’s the only champ to be stripped in the universe’s four-plus years.
I find doing it this way spits out sufficient natural stories that I don’t have to orchestrate much, which I prefer. I like reacting and writing to the scenarios that come up.Others approach it totally differently.
