Free MMA fighter builder
Build an MMA fighter one irreversible choice at a time.
Cage Maxxing is a browser-based MMA fighter builder game. Each run deals 13 randomized fighter cards. You keep one skill from each card, then reveal the weight class and simulate the career your choices created.
Draft real fighter skills
Choose from attributes such as striking, wrestling, grappling, submissions, cardio, defense and health. A card disappears after its one permanent choice.
Shape an archetype
A build can lean toward pressure striking, knockout power, wrestling control or a more complete game. Balance matters because no division is known until the final reveal.
Reveal the career
Weight-class adjustments and a simulated opponent pool turn your build into a record, finish total and Career Score. The grades are game mechanics—not official fighter rankings.
Why every build plays differently
Open Play creates a fresh randomized draft each time, so there is no fixed best path. Fighter cards also appear in rarity editions with disclosed in-game boosts. Your goal is to make the strongest build from the tradeoffs in front of you, not simply chase one attribute.
Start with a plan, then adapt
Protecting health can preserve more career opportunities. Offensive skills convert those opportunities into wins and finishes, while defense and durability help a specialist survive tougher matchups. Read the MMA fighter build guide or explore fighter archetypes before your next draft.
