Hey there. I've been here before but I'm gonna stay now. Pretty useful forum you guys got over here

This gets requested quite a lot so I might as well start one.... Currently major things being worked on; 1. Redoing fight scoring, as per the discussion on the forums. not sure on the link to the thread. LINK: http://www.mmatycoon.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=43461 2. Ottiee was working on a fighter twitter system for me. Not sure on the progress of that in the last month or so. On a day to day basis, we're currently sorting things out for the end of the Island season, e.g. forcing people to release one of their fighters because of the extra island fighter slot. After this I wanna do something about coach wages.

I know Mike is very busy improving the fight engine but here a few ideas I have regarding gym ownership and improving game play and the gym managers experience. This is a improvements forum, so here are my improvements... of course I know there are other improvements going on as I write but a few of these could be added later on down the line. This is my first post in two years and I'm sure these have been brought up before, so I apologise but here are just a few thoughts: Gym size: Currently there is no cost attached to this. Obviously the more members you have the higher your costs should be and the bigger space you need. I have no idea how a gym with only 10 members can have the same associated costs as a gym with 200 members. Public option: Private members - fighters only - open to all (public). Public can only use the fitness suite - you determine the max users of this element and the cost of membership with max being $50 or something. The amount of public users is determined by an advertising budget and reputation. This will increase turnover through members fees, improved use of vending (and maybe merchandise sales if added). However, the more public members you have the quicker the equipment quality will decrease, and fighters will lose morale - everyone prefers training in private. Gym facilities: Great that gyms have a sauna to cut weight - how about a physio to reduce injury time? or a Sports Psychologist to improve that killer instinct or to mentally prepare fighters for their next fight. Swimming pool option to train some physicals. Just a few thoughts... Merchandise: Every MMA or BJJ gym I have been to sells merchandise to improve turnover. Maybe partner up with a clothing store - as per the nutrition company with vending machines. and finally... Amateur tourneys: Quite a few gyms run amateur MMA, grappling and striking events. Maybe allow gyms to host a maximum of 6 events a year (1 every 60 days). Hosted at the gym and open to members and also other fighters in the city. Cost of $30 to enter and you receive a cash prize if you win. But it's all about testing sliders and gaining experience. Amateur fights have minor affect on the fighters hype and popularity. Maybe increased revenue from spectators - depending on the size of your gym - say $10 a head. Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket do a similar thing with their BBQ Beatdown. http://www.bbqbeatdownthailand.com/ Like I said, just a few thoughts. Thank you for reading. Best wishes, Paul

1.You create a single-use trophy for your event, an alliance tourney for example. Maybe also "fighter of the year" at you org or something. 2. You submit it as a custom trophy to admin, exactly as you submit a custom avatar, where it is checked (and refused if unacceptable). 3. If accepted, you pay 15 days VIP or use a custom avatar credit. Avatar credits become general "custom credits" which can be used for either avatars or trophies. New credits can be bought for 15 VIP and any old avatar credits you have, or get from spin and win later, can be used too. 4. You supply the name and ID of the manager or fighter to whom you intend it to go and the trophy is awarded. This is the basic idea. It's nothing new, but I've spoken to Mike about it and in principle he's ready to do it if people want it. Mike thought it a good idea to get some opinions from the forum users. You may have some extra ideas, improvements, or concerns about the whole idea. Now is your chance to say what you think, so please go ahead! Note: 15 days VIP is a hypothetical price that I chose (but it seems logical as avatars cost 15 to submit). Edit: There is hover text for trophies too, so there'd probably need to be a box to write a line or two of text that you want to display.

By Brandon Comte Quarter flipping scalawags eating food from the train station floors out here in London, it's been a while since I've been here and now I see a lot more homeless people, I guess I should have kept up with the times and been here more frequently. I remember last week I was in Two Boots pizza and I saw someone I've known for twenty years and was in shock, I usually have the confidence to talk women as a whole but she made me freeze up and I went back to the past, stuttering, and blush-faced like a five year old, it went something like this "Omg hey Brandon how are you?!" I was all negative like "I've had a tough two weeks and it will take years to talk about it, I'll be in the back with my pizza" and after, right before I left I was all like "hi-hit m..m..me up when your off jerk" I didn't say work but I cornered her smile. She became the most beautiful woman, and I was in love with her in like kindergarten, but I choked up it was the weirdest thing ever, it felt like I was 5 all over again. I wouldn't consider myself five foot nine inches of greatness like CK and a pimp stick, more like six foot two of gentleman. I tend to go after women with class and or eccentric hipster women, no offense to Chris Karter, he's the best at what he does. I'm just telling you about my personal life to build suspense of what's to come tonight, the biggest event in Tycoon history (and I say that a lot but this really is) the finale of the Tycoon Cup in the EVO department. but yeah, these annoying bums have been asking me for change all day, so I decided to make a change for eternity. I contacted my main man Mega Jug, who's a hometown hero in 50 home towns around the world. I always get the yes from Mega when I have an idea because we're tighter than a noose around a hypothetical Charles Manson' neck or someone trying to have the best sadomasochistic session of their life. EVO has a lot of money, I mean a lot of money, so I decided to make a proposal and recommended we build an island out of the remnant's of Mungo Jerry's duplicated cavities, now this was a brilliant idea, we're allowing the homeless quarter flippers have a home for life, we also left raw resources such as black diamonds and ruby read pearls so they can build houses and shit. We also placed our EVO grown "world's largest potato" in the middle of the island as an energy source, they can also eat the skins which are very rich in EVO-antioxidants. Now We're going to get to the three fights of the main card of this extremely wonderful event coming up. The first fight in the main card is a title fight for the middleweight belt with Tweedle Dee (with Tweedle Dumb at his corner) Fighting Pluto Palhares, some really cool pimp who brings his hoes to the arena with him, but if you're an EVO fan you'd already know that. Tweedle Dee has had a nice run ever since leaving Synchronicity, more recently, winning the EVO middleweight championship belt where he fought Alexander Valentine and had a really great battle on the ground, both fighters were advancing position non stop and pounding each other out but when Valentine made the sweep it was game over, he won by an amazing decision which will be remembered for years to come (or will be forgotten after this event.) While Valentine has a great ground game he is also animalistic while standing, boom boom, his KO power deteriorated in time but he can still keep the fight standing for five rounds and win more than generously. Watch out though, Pluto Palhares recently stole CK's kif covered pimp stick and will use the particles to his advantage because as high goes up he trains harder and harder. He might have elite across primaries without deteriorating now, yet may have the underarm because he recently lost by decision in the world cup, CK called it a fluke but analrapists (arrested development reference) thought otherwise, after all he was defeated by one of Synchronicity's best fighters, Merik Hunt. Kind of sad to announce to the KO king Chris Karter, but Pluto is losing his heavy-handedness too and he might have to fight all rounds, if he's as sloppy as he was in his last fight Tweedle Dumb will be throwing a party for Tweedle Dee pretty soon. I think Pluto got it in him to win the fight, but I think he should have had at least one fight in advanced before taking the middleweight challenge. Luckily for Karter, his other fighter who's on much more of a run is fighting, Patrick McWhiskey is fighting for the Light Heavyweight belt against the one and only Nemanja Prijovic who defeated Smokudjo Womba and then Budo Rei in that order (both after beating Binzo Binzo). That's some crazy shit, holding your own against some of Tycoon's best fighters in the game and winning in an incessant basis, can you believe that? Evolution Fight Clan has something going on in EVO, might be rigged. Judging from his last fight Nemanja knows how to break a chin which has already has been broken, and I can't say that Patrick's has but I can't say that it hasn't. Patrick knows how to break a chin not saying Nemanja doesn't have a good chin but I'm not saying he does. All I'm trying to say buy the annoying double text in reverse is that this will be a stand up battle and there will most likely be little to no chance that this fight will go to decision, they are both brawlers who like tasting their own blood, getting kn coked out, and knocking other people out. I know some Serbians are crazy but in Ireland it's a tradition to get into crazy brawls so I'm going to give the fight to the alcoholic, Patrick McWhiskey, hopefully he has his Jameson on deck. He'll probably celebrate with the ratchet irish chick who will be sitting at his corner without panties, singing Irish folk music. How about that, it's confirmed that the Dubliners will be there live playing "All for me Grog"! I'm sure Pat will beat the champ who's been on an incredible run because that's his favorite song. I'm still going to say that Nemanja will probably be Patrick's toughest fight, even tougher than that little redhead that used to bully him when he was a kid, this will be no easy task for either fighter, just two drunken cultures drinking each other to death. Billy Joakim-Antrim will be rooting for Patrick, as he himself is in attendance. Ok Judging from my writing I had a lot of bias and thought some fighters would lose plenty of times but that wasn't the case for Kenichi Shirahama, he has surprised me so much with his ground prowess it really hit me that one of his chokes can slay a dragon. Enter the scene Dustin Douglas, the best fighter in the world who smokes Fidel's Widowed and tames jamaican dragons and drinks green dragon (which is the jamaican green fairy.) These two fighters have been the most exciting in the olympics and I'm already getting an erection thinking of the fight, it will have jamaican models and japanese mistresses literally fucking in the middle of the ring during the fight, I mean if you see Dustin Douglas knockout Shirihama or see Shirimihama sub Douglas, no one will lose, one of the girls will just hop on top of them and bring them up unconscious. If the fight goes to decision the winner takes all of the women and wins the tycoon olympics in the heavyweight section, this fight will be incredible, pussy is inevitable and the winner will either remain number one in tycoon or fall back and lose all their confidence because they lost in the best event in the world, of course they'll be honored but come on, don't you think they'd want to die after losing in that fight? Douglas has shown me that he can take any fight put in front of him so I'm going to give him no benefit of zero doubt and say that he will be the winner of the fight come the third minute of round one. Mega Jug comes to the stand- I'll tell him to write his final words on the forum.

Duce & Gogoplata is NOW OPEN! Rio de Janeiro has a new clothing company... Duce & Gogoplata! I created this company because Rio only had around 4 clothing companies and the prices were all fairly high. I wanted to make a company devoted solely to providing new and non-VIP managers with clothes that aren't exactly fancy but get the job done... If you want to keep your fighters happy but your budget is tight, then Duce & Gogoplata is the store for you! Click the link above or in my signature and check out the 12 designs we have for sale. There's only 20 of each right now as I'm trying them out to see how popular each design is, so buy 'em quick before this first batch sells out! I'm not looking to sponsor fighters or to partner with an org just yet, as I want to be cautious about finances. When I am ready, I will primarily be looking to sponsor fighters who have a proven winning record and will sponsor them at a reasonable amount.

(Source: http://news.distractify.com/people/shane-at-walmart/) The story about Shane from Wal-Mart has emerged over the last couple days. Redditor Ardentleprechaun works at Wal-Mart, and has a co-worker named Shane. Shane has a sense of humor that frustrates the Wal-Mart management to no end. A couple pictures are posted below, the rest are on the link provided. There are quite a few.

Honour 4- Kellolinnake versus Frederiksen will be the last event we hold at the Helsinki Micro Arena. We have gotten better and better each week and our fan base have tripled. The reason our fan base is growing so much is because of all the great fights that we have been able to have already and all of the future match ups. We will be bringing you some of those exciting match ups on this event which will include the title fight for the heavyweight strap. Nine other fights will accompany the title fight and they are sure to compliment the title fight well. Preliminary Bout Number 1- Welterweight Fight (170lbs) Matt Hold (1-2) {0-1} versus Dorofes "General " Orlov (0-1) {0-1} Hold is on a two fight losing streak and this could be his big opportunity to get off the skid. He is the far better wrestler and if he can get Orlov to the ground Hold should be able to do what whatever he wants, and he should make quick work of Dorofes. The big thing that Orlov has going for him is his striking. He could be one of the best pure strikers in the division at HFC and everthe best pure strikers in the division at HFC and ever fight starts standing. Orlov just needs to keep on his feet and he could coast to a quick victory in this one. I personally will pick the wrestler over the striker in this one since Orlov has shown us he can’t defend a takedown. I got Hold winning this fight in the first round by TKO via ground and pound. Preliminary Bout Number 2- Middleweight Fight (185lbs) Charles Kota (1-0) {0-0} versus Juuso Valtonen (0-1) {0-1} Kota will be looking to continue his undefeated streak in this one. He is currently one and o in his professional career but he does have a tough challenge ahead. Kota is a very aggressive grappler and he will do whatever it takes to get the fight to the ground and then he will look for submissions and ground and pound as he will try for a quick win. Valtonen has not been inside a cage in a long long time as he has been polishing his skills. Valtonen might be the best pure wrestler in all of Honour and he will look to exploit that in this one. If Kota is aggressive on takedown attempts Juuso might try and keep it standing just to point out Kota with all the take downs defended. Then again he might just try to out wrestle Kota on the ground and look for his own finishes once the fight hits the mat. This will be a grappling war and I have to pick the better grappler to win by decision and that Kuuso Valtonen. Preliminary Bout Number 3- Lightweight Fight (155lbs) Todd Frazier (0-0) {0-0} versus [#5] Winston Churchill (1-1) {1-0} Frazier will be making his professional debut and he has a huge challenge in front of him. Frazier does have a bit of boxing but he is out matched in that department and he is also over matched in wrestling. He does have the Jiu Jitsu advantage so if he can get it to the ground he will be able to do some serious damage there. The number five Lightweight I am sure is aware of Frazier’s ground game and he will be looking to stop any and all takedown attempts. Churchill has one key to victory in this one and that is stay off the ground. All signs point to Churchill winning this fight but for some reason I want to pick Frazier since there is no book on him. That is exactly what I am going to do, so I got Frazier to win by submission in the third and final round of the fight. Preliminary Bout Number 4- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs) Ads "Striker" Barton (0-1) {0-1} versus Hal Tamner (2-2) {0-0} This is a very interesting fight and both of these guys are coming off a big loss. Barton lost his debut and he should be looking for that first taste of victory in this fight. He is the better striker but he is lacking in the wrestling department. Barton should look to do some damage in the beginning but as the fight goes deeper and deeper he should look to counter more as he should fear the takedown from Tamner. Hal will have a slight wrestling advantage and if he wants to go the distance he should be able to win the fight by stealing rounds with takedowns. If he wants to finish this fight quickly he will need the ground and pound, as standing in the center of the cage and teeing off with Barton would be a terrible strategy. I am going to pick Barton to win this fight by TKO in the second round. Preliminary Bout Number 5- Heavyweight Fight (265lbs) Jonny "LoL" Porrada (1-0) {0-0} versus Softly "The Sanguine Giant" Weeping (0-0) {0-0} Porrada won his pro debut but now it’s time to make his organization debut and that is a little harder than just a QFC fight. Porrada is at a disadvantage in this fight but what he doesn’t have in skill he can make up in other places. A twenty five year olds physical shape should be better than twenty year olds, and he has actually had a professional fight in his career which could also make a big difference. If I was Porrada I would really mix my strikes up well and look for body head combinations. Weeping has some stand up skill and he would likely be able to stand and bang with everyone in the division if he wanted to. I don’t think that would be his number one choice in any fight though as he is a world class wrestler and he holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Weeping will look to grapple and if he can get Porrada wrapped up for a second he should be able to force him to tap out. I am going with Weeping to win this fight by submission in the first round. Main Card Bout Number 1- Heavyweight Fight (265lbs) [# 5] Tomasz "Dynamo" Nawarecki (2-2) {1-0} versus "zabijak" Petr Skalny (1-1) {0-1} Nawarecki is on a two fight win streak and that includes his Honour debut. Nawarecki is currently ranked fifth in the Heavyweight division and a win here could get him very close to a title shot. Tomasz does not have an over powering ground game but he does know how to use it as he won by rear naked choke in his last fight. He should look for the ground game to be his friend here one more time. Skalny lost his debut but now he is looking to get back into the winners circle. If he can turn this fight into a strike fest he will have no troubles doing so, but if this hits the floor Skalny will be in big trouble. If I was Skalny I would stay away from anything that could get me taken down while still being as aggressive as I can. He might want to work the body to tire out Nawarecki and then go from there. I think Tomasz will get the fight to the ground and get another submission victory this one coming in the late part of round number one. Main Card Bout Number 2- Featherweight Fight (145lbs) [# 4] Tyson "The Prince Of Perfection" Niel (2-1) {0-0} versus [# 3] Pedro "The Monster Of The Andes" Lopez (1-0) {0-0} Both of these fighters will be making their Honour debut and they are debuting at the number three and four spots on the rankings. These two are coming into Honour with a lot of talk going on about them so the pressure is even bigger. Beating a top ranked guy in the division could easily give one of these two a shot at the Featherweight title. Niel will be looking for the clinch as he has been able to execute it well in the past. He has very dangerous knees and he will want to land more than a few in this one Lopez won his last fight by dominating on the ground but he seemed as though he didn’t want to be there. He should think about using the ground game in this fight as well since Tyson Niel’s wrestling has been questionable in the past. Lopes in a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so I am sure he will make short work of Niel and get the win in the first round by submission after a quick take down. Main Card Bout Number 3- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs) Tony "Scarface" Drago (5-1) {0-0} versus Bisse Stobe (1-0) {0-0} Drago has one of the best records in the Light Heavyweight division but all of his fights came in the QFC. There is no telling what kind of skilled guys you would face and I am sure that held Drago’s ranking back a bit. He has a chance to show off his skills in this one though, and he should show off his hands. He has great stand up and if he relies on his wrestling to keep himself in a standing position he should be able to get a quick win. Stobe is a well-rounded fighter and he can handle himself with a stand up fighter or ground fighter but he is not dominate at either. With that being said his Jiu Jitsu is the only advantage he will have in this fight so he should look to get it to the ground where he could then start working a submission. I am picking Drago to win this fight by knockout early in round one, but only if he keeps the fight standing. Co Main Event Main Card Bout Number 4- Heavyweight Title Fight (265lbs)http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20140517210156belt.jpg http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/24/24w19.jpg http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/6/6w5.jpg [#2] Vihtori "Trt" Kellolinnake (4-1) {0-0} versus [# 3] Fred "The Fredinator" Frederiksen (2-0) {1-0} These two are facing off for the Heavyweight Title but both fighters are coming in ranked below number one. I would almost garuntee that the winner of this fight would have his first title defense against number one ranked Burak "Big" Mihalev and that would certainly put some butts in the seats. Kellolinnake is four and one and all of the fights came at super heavyweight. Now he will be facing smaller fighters instead of bigger fighters and I would think his TKO’s are going to sky rocket. I think he will be looking to knockout Frederiksen. Fred will also be looking for the knockout win which would put his record up to three and o with all three wins coming via TKO. Now Frederiksen likes to put people to sleep through ground and pound versus your typical striking so he will be looking for early takedowns. I think Kellolinake stops all the takedowns and counters with some big strikes as he will take this home with a first round knockout. Co Main Event Main Card Bout Number-5 Bantamweight Fight http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/2/2w6.jpg http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/3/3w13.jpg [# 1] The Sigit (8-0-1){0-0-0} versus Pelle Kickelssen (1-0) {0-0} The Sigit is not only the number one ranked fighter at Bantamweight he is currently ranked number one Pound for Pound here in Honour. Management already had a title fight signed between Osbourne and Boesh when The Sigit was brought in or I am sure that title fight would have been his. The Sigit needs to win this so he can go on to face Boesh and a second title to carry around since he is still the current Bulldogs upcommings Champion. Kickelssen is coming into the bout with a lot less hype and a record of just one and o. He has an uphill climb to beat The Sigit but if he does that should shoot him straight to the top of the division. Kickelssen can win this fight if he keeps it standing but he will have no chance on the ground. The Sigit can handle himself in the stand up as well but it’s not one sided. I got The Sigit winning this fight via submission in the first round, but do not count Kickelssen out of this one he could really challenge The Sigit. Well that will wrap up our night. Look for the new rankings to come out after this event and then of course the review of this awesome event. I will see you guys next time!

Mixed Martial Farce Magazine (6/27/14) by Quintin Smith After the fiasco that was interviewing Brody Macbeth, I was hesitant to do another on location interview with a mixed martial arts fighter. However, my employer promised me that Sean Watson is a more serious competitor and thus won't drive me to drink. I visited his private training gym, the Turka Elite Gym here in Rio de Janeiro which, as was boasted, has very private training for a very select group of fighters. I remarked to Sean Watson that such individualized training must give a great advantage for him and his team. He responded: “Yes, the training is much more specialized and I can improve faster than I would in a public MMA gym. Here we have a better atmosphere and higher quality classes. In addition, I have Steve Orvel and Andrzej Sternik to spar with. They both have a lot of experience and are solid fighters. I'm training with guys that have defeated Diego Sanchez including Adam Peri and other brown belts.” I commented that Watson was one of the few fighters that I had interviewed recently that hadn't competed on the regional QFC stage and had instead signed straight with a mixed martial arts company. He responded that this was normal for guys on his fight team. Sean Watson will be competing against dangerous Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialist Diego Sanchez in his next outing. Every single time that Sanchez has won a fight, it has been via submission. When asked about how dangerous an opponent like Sanchez is, Sean Watson smiled and said: “Sanchez is a very dangerous opponent if the fight goes to the ground or we clinch up but I've been training hard. I'm way better in wrestling so I won't be falling over.” Both Sanchez and Watson competed in the KOMMA fighting promotion at the same time but the two never crossed paths there. Watson admits that he wanted to fight Sanchez then but he just hadn't improved his ground game enough for that level of opponent. This is a different era, however. Sanchez may well be on the downside of his career whereas Sean Watson is only getting better. When asked, Watson predicted a clean knockout of Sanchez on the feet. All of Sean Watson's past fights have ended on the ground so I was a bit surprised at his boast of a standing finish. He assured me that he won't be getting taken down due to his superior wrestling. He told me that he has defeated all of his former opponents with his ground-and-pound but doesn't want to play that game with a black belt like Sanchez. I have to agree: why put yourself in the other guy's comfort zone if you can win elsewhere? Sean Watson confessed to me that he isn't overly worried about the ground game of Sanchez, however, because he reviewed some of Sanchez's fights and saw Sanchez struggle against opponents with inferior grappling pedigrees. For instance, against powerhouse wrestler David Rymar it took multiple attempts to submit him, despite Rymar only having a blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu. Against pure wrestler, no Jiu-Jitsu experience fighter Tom Tompson it took eleven submission attempts to secure a finish. Again and again we see Sanchez use the technique known as “submission spam” which is to say that he goes for submission over position. Because of this, I could see a ground battle ensuing with Watson finding himself on top each time. Watson made a promise for Sanchez and for the fans: “He wants to break my arm and I want to knock his teeth out. It's going to be a slaughter no matter what. I really want to take him out. I want to slice him up and sprinkle him with salt. That's how I want the entire fight to go. If he gets my arm, he'd better break it because otherwise I'm going to knock him out cold. Watson by knockout in the first round. Sanchez! I'm coming for you!” In a change of direction, I brought up the fact that Magnus Barfot and Sagan Tyson will be fighting for the vacant heavyweight championship of the world. I asked him who he thinks will win that fight. He responded confidently that he believed Magnus Barfot would win due to his superior striking skills and the fact that he has won all of his fights via knockout. “I am a bit surprised that Magnus will be fighting for the belt in his promotional debut but I'd like to fight the winner for the title. I'm going to have to improve my stand-up a bit first,” he said with a chuckle. I asked him if he thought he could beat Magnus if they were paired up for the title and he replied, “I'm a very young fighter. After I knock out Diego Sanchez, I'm going to want to take a month or two off to train nothing but striking.” Before I wrap up this interview, I want to give a shout out to ORIGO Fight Wear out of Amsterdam. Buy some of their apparel and be the sharpest dressed fighter to the dance. Don't be caught in your magical whites, wear ORIGO to fights.

congrats to the winners

Barbarian FC 22 Written by Conor Brazier Damian Silva (5-4) vs Huey Manley (0-1) Silva is a submission fighter who holds a purple belt in BJJ and has average wrestling, 3 of his 5 wins come by submission. Manley is an excellent wrestler who holds a blue belt in BJJ. In Manley's MMA debut he was submitted by a purple belt in 18 seconds and I expect to see the same here, unless he can quickly get out of his opponents guard. Silva round 1 submission. Alex Savio Sanchez (3-1) vs Cheech Marin (4-4) A battle of the purple belts in this fight. Sanchez is a good wrestler who also holds a purple belt in BJJ, all three of Sanchez's wins come by submission and he recently submitted a brown belt. Marin has average wrestling who also has a purple belt in BJJ, 3 of his 4 wins come by submission, the other win comes by decision. Sanchez holds the wrestling advantage and that's all I need to know to pick Sanchez over Marin. Other than that expect a close submission fight. Sanchez round 2 submission. Stevenus Liverbird (2-2) vs Odell Paquette (0-1) Liverbird is a very tall submission fighter who has average wrestling and a brown belt in BJJ. Both of his wins come by submission and both of his losses come by KO. Paquette is an excellent boxer but has no other really stand out attributes to go with his boxing, this was proven on his MMA debut he was taken down and submitted within a minute. Pacquette's only hope is to stand and bang but Liverbird isn't that type of fighter, Liverbird will get the takedown and the tap out. Liverbird round 1 submission Abel Cruz (0-0) vs Ambrose Chrisholm (0-1) This is a bout between two one dimensional fighters. Abel Cruz is a young brown belt in BJJ but has no other stand out attributes, he will be making his MMA and BFC debut on this fight against Chrisholm while I believe will give him the advantage. Chrisholm is an excellent muay thai fighter but again, he that is his only attribute worth mentioning. Chrisholm has only had one fight and he lost it by submission to a blue belt. I believe that Cruz will win this fight by submission in the first round, unless Chrisholm has put some serious work into his takedown defence. Cruz first round submission. Nathaniel Armstrong (0-1) vs Caique Mafra (2-2) A battle of young brown belts here as both of these fighters own a brown belt in BJJ. Armstrong has a slight wrestling advantage but Mafra has an experience advantage. Both of these guys have been submitted before so I think this will be an interesting fight, I'm gonna go with the emperor penguin on this one. Mafra decision Steven Staunton (0-1) vs Rodrigo Dos Santos (1-3) Staunton is an excellent wrestler with a blue belt in BJJ, he has only had one MMA fight and he lost it by submisision in under a minute. Dos Santos is a ground fighter who has had a disappointing start to his BFC career picking up three losses in a row. Dos Santos has a brown belt in BJJ and also has good wrestling, looking through Dos Santos' history it is hard to tell if he looks for the submission or ground and pound, from what I can see he looks for both. I think Staunton will get on top and grind Dos Santos to a win. Staunton decision. Sponge Bones (3-5) vs Uno Torres (2-1) Sponge Bones has good wrestling and a brown belt to go with his horrible morale, all three of his wins come by submission. Uno Torres has average wrestling and also has a brown belt in BJJ, Torres' morale isn't as disgusting as Bones however. Both of Torres' wins have come by submission. I think Torres will win this fight by the fact Bones' morale is so bad. Torres first round submission. Brahma Cervejinha (5-3) vs Damian Kazimierczak (2-1) This is a fight between two people with impossible names so I will just use their first names to write this preview. Brahma has good muay thai and good wrestling and looked very impressive in his last fight standing up and in the clinch. 4 of Brahma's five wins have come by decision but that doesn't mean to say he is not dangerous because he most certainly is. Damian is a good wrestler with a brown belt in BJJ, he has a win by submission but he also has a win by knockout over Liverbird which doesn't match his attributes. This is a tough fight for me to call, one part of me says a Brahma decision and the other says a Damian submission. This time I'm gonna pick Damian but Brahma can prove me wrong easily! Damian first round submission. Bryan Chua (6-2) vs Matt Serra (6-2) A great ground battle for this fight, Chua is an excellent wrestler who holds a purple belt in BJJ. All 6 of Chua's wins come by TKO so he is a guy you really do not want on top of you in a fight. Matt Serra is a good wrestler who holds a brown belt in BJJ, all 6 of Serra's wins come by submission so don't sleep on this guy on the ground otherwise you get tapped out brother. A lot of Serra's wins come from submission from the bottom which is where he will be in this fight, it's really 50/50 chance is Chua starts landing ground and pound or if Serra can start working for submissions, or even a sweep and really take Chua out of his gameplan. Serra round 1 submission Christopher Newton (6-1-1) vs Adrien Silva (6-2) This fight has been dubbed a super fight and I find it hard to disagree being around BFC for a long time, both these guys like to talk and them moving divisions to fight was really a surprise for me personally, I never thought it'd be something I'd see but I am so happy it's happened and I can't wait to see the result. Newton is a BFC legend, he is 27 but if you look at his attributes you would think he is a 20 year old who has been well trained. Newton has average boxing, good wrestling, good muay thai and a purple belt in BJJ and he has put all of these skills together to pick up wins by KO, decision but mostly by submission, picking up 4 by submission. Newton won the 170lb BFC tournament by being intelligent and exploiting weaknesses. Newton's only loss came by submission by Aurelio who is now the 170lb BFC champion, so nothing to be ashamed about there. Adrien Silva is a smack talking, ground fighting beast! Out of his 6 wins 4 are by submission and the other 2 are by TKO. Silva has good wrestling and a brown belt in BJJ he uses to get these results. This fight truly is a forum super fight and I can't wait to see what happens. In my opinion I think Newton will walk away with a T/KO win as Silva has been tagged before, but if Silva gets on top then Newton is in real trouble. Make sure you check out the event to see who wins! Newton round 2 TKO Thanks for reading, remember to check out the event to see who wins. If you have any feedback for my previews please message me. Thanks again. Conor (the rainbow unicorn)

Thank you very much Aaron, I greatly appreciate it

Lol that was great

Think scoring nearly perfect but should give something for aggression and sub attempts .i lost this fight and your man didn't even do 1 sub attempt .So people dont spam sub and get points for useless subs maybe just 2 or 3 points for most subs attempts during match case example http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=678522 .I think most people feel i won this fight

Lol man i cant wait for next season to start

Fixed. I think it should be good now Give us good fights guys, give us great materials for future!

The fast finishes continue for HFC as at our third event only four of the fight got out of the first and only one went the distance. The 135 title was decided in exciting fashion and a heavyweight contender emerged. Let’s get to the action. Stromberg vs Pike: Stromberg was coming off a loss to the 205 champ Vidal while Pike was making his promotional debut. This was another example of one fighter wanting to stay up and the other to go down. Stromberg got his way early as he was able to get Pike off his feet. From there he went to work with ground and pound and managed to get the stop late in the first. Stromberg was happy to get back on the horse but still likely finds himself in the middle of the pack at 205. Pike takes a tough loss here but since it was only his first fight in the company there won’t be a hard fall for him. Barnes vs Perruzi: Our first fight saw a man looking to get in the winners circle after taking a loss in his first match with HFC and a newcomer looking to make an impression. This fight was the same but with a different result. Perruzi was looking to get a win after a tough loss to Cross in his first fight. He once again was looking to go to the ground against the newcomer Barnes who was looking to stay in the clinch. Oddly enough it was Barnes who decided to take this fight to the ground after battering Perruzi in the clinch. Once on the ground Barnes showed that even there he was superior. Barnes wasted little time securing a kimura for the victory. This is a big win for Barnes as he now puts the 145 division on notice. As for Perruzi this is another tough loss and he will likely find himself needing to start from the bottom of the continuously expanding 145 division. Sobiesky vs Sioldster: This was the first fight in the company for both men and they were able to put on a very entertaining fight. Sobiesky was all over Sioldster in the first round. He secured a takedown early and went to work on the ground. Sioldster was not able to get to his feet and looked to be in trouble as the round ended. Feeling the pressure Sioldster stepped it up in the second round. Sioldster used his superior striking to rock Sobiesky. He was not able to finish him then but after allowing his opponent back to his feet Sioldster landed a shot that left his opponent out cold. The win is a good one for Sioldster in a 185 division that has yet to really be established. Sobiesky showed a lot of early promise in this fight and should not be overlooked to come back very strong. Bowman vs Trzcinski: This is the first rematch in HFC history. After scoring a quick knockout in their first fight Trzcinski was looking to duplicate the result. This time, however, Bowman was prepared. This time he was able to successfully get the fight to the ground where he was able to score a big submission victory. Bowman did take some licks in this fight but was able to maintain composer. No doubt what is next for these two as the trilogy will need to be completed. Biggsby vs Melo: Both of these fighters were coming of losses in their HFC debuts and were in search of a win. Melo wanted this fight on the ground where Biggsby has been shown to be a little weak. Biggsby couldn't get anything going on the feet and missed on almost everything. Melo got the takedown and controlled round one and was able to score another takedown in round two. The second time he was able to capitalize and get the finish with a submission victory to put him in winners circle for first time in HFC. Melo will move toward the top of the 185 pound pack with the win and Biggsby will find himself with a long way to go. Stephens vs Newton: This fight featured a pair of fighters making their debuts in HFC. Stephens had a plan that he implemented early and often, go to the clinch and beat Newton up. Credit to Newton’s chin though as he endured major punishment throughout the first round. Newton was cut and rocked but managed to survive the round. Stephens wasted no time in the second though as he finished it with a knockout just five seconds in. Stephens looked fantastic and needed to stand out in the crowded 205 pool. Newton will look to use that tough chin and get back on track. Mustalaanen vs Fredrikson: Mustalaanen and Fredrikson were both making their first appearances in HFC. Fredrikson had a bit of fight experience but it really never got to show in this one. Mustalaanen wanted this fight on the ground and he wasted no time getting it there. From there it was an onslaught of ground and pound that put an end to the fight. Mustalaanen is slightly undersized at 205 but it will be interesting to see if he continues to use that to his advantage. Fredrikson still has a wealth of experience to draw on so don't forget about him yet. Nuts vs Scott: Let me just say that this may have been the first time in HFC history that I was able to pronounce both fighters names and that made me very very happy. Anyway both fighters were fittingly fighting right before the 135 title fight as this fight had major title implications. Scott was clearly looking to go to the ground but despite his constant attempts Nuts did a great job staying upright. Nuts was able to then pick Scott apart with shots before landing a huge uppercut that took Scott out of the fight. 135 is still fairly unproven so Scott will not see a huge fall. As for Nuts, look for him to see a title fight or a number one contenders fight next. Boesh vs Osbourne: The 135 title was on the line and both fighters held nothing back to get it. With all the fast finishes in HFC's history this was a hell of a fight to see. Both fighters went back and forth playing to their strengths. Osbourne wanted the fight on the ground and in the first round he accomplished the goal. Osbourne was actually able to get the fight to ground often in this fight but he did have some trouble keep Boesh there. On the feet Boesh was clearly the superior fighter. Boesh was moving to the clinch a lot in this fight which was an interesting choice given his proven KO power. He was extremely accurate tonight though and that was key. After trading rounds the fight was definitely up for grabs in the final round. In the final round Osbourne was able to score a pair of takedowns but was not able to do much with them. Boesh was able to do some damage in the clinch and picked up the win in this thrilling fight. Boesh will have several contenders looking to take the title from him and with a win or two Osbourne will be among them again. Osbourne will certainly remain relevant and will still be among the top contenders. Mihalev vs Mustalaanen: No this is not the same Mustalaanen who fought earlier in the card. This was an interesting fight since both fighters wanted to be on the ground. Mustalaanen took the fight to ground early and tried to work submissions. Mihalev was happy to oblige and did some good work improving his position. Once in a better position he used big elbows to get the ref to step in and stop the fight. With this win Mihalev moves to the top of the 265 contenders list. As for Mustalaanen it would be foolish to think we have seen the last of him. He ran in a bit of a style nightmare in this fight and will need to improve a little if he wants to get the better of Mihalev if they ever fight again.

Fortitude FC, in conjunction with ORIGO Wear clothing shop and the RISSA fighting alliance, would like to present FFC 8: Caine vs Kalnoky. This epic showdown is taking place on June 28. The only way to see this fight is to buy yourself a ticket and get yourself over to Hayashi's Lounge, Rio de Janiero, Brazil. (Prologue) Diego Sanchez is arguably one of the top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighters in the entire Fortitude FC league. When he gets guys to the ground, he finishes them, end of story. He is coming off back-to-back defeats against some serious competition. The last time he was put in this position, with his back to the wall, he went on a three fight streak of nothing but submission victories. This is a fighter that, win or lose, has never seen the second round of a fight. They say that styles make fights. That's absolutly true and in this case we're looking at what could amount to a legendary, and I don't use that term lightly, LEGENDARY ground battle. Sam Watson is probably the best wrestler in the company, perhaps even in Brazil. His ground and pound is his primary focus and he has a perfect 100% takedown rate. He gets guys to the ground and he aggressively pounds on them. Will he want to bring a guy like Diego Sanchez to the ground? I guess we will see. (The Action) (Heavyweight Division) Diego Sanchez (7-4) versus Sean Watson (5-0) (Preview) There is no possible way this fight goes the distance. These two fighters are absolite finishers with Diego Sanchez fighting in a finish or be finished mindset, very similarly to his real life counterpart, and of course the destructive ground and pound style of Watson. Neither of these guys are going to want to leave it in the hands of the judges. Diego Sanchez is a two time world champion that has held titles in BFC and KOMMA. (Prediction) I actually give the advantage to Sean Watson. He needs to curb his enthusiasm on the ground and keep himself from falling into a submission but if he starts hitting Sanchez, he could put him away quick. So yeah, Sean Watson takes this via ground and pound. [A closer look] (Diego Sanchez) Record: 7-4 Knockouts: 0 Submissions: 7 Style: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Height: 6'1 Weight: 236 lbs Accomplishments: BFC Heavyweight Champion, KOMMA Heavyweight Champion, SUB of the night (x2) In this fight: It's no secret that Diego Sanchez doesn't want to be on the bottom in this fight. Expect him to allow any and all takedowns from Watson and then try to reverse to get on top of the wrestler. If he can do that, he could very well lock in a submission. (Sean Watson) Record: 5-0 Knockouts: 5 Submissions: 0 Style: Wrestling Height: 6'2 Weight: 270 lbs Accomplishments: Undefeated In this fight: Sean Watson has indicated to me that on top of his dazzling ground skills, he is now training stand-up as well. He has displayed some serious stopping power in his short career. Based on his prior fights, you can assume he will want to bring this fight to the ground and start pounding on the former world champion to put him away fast. If you listen to his interviews, however, he implies that he wants to use his quickly improving boxing to try and stop Sanchez on the feet. (Bantamweight Division, Championship Fight) Benny Caine (12-4) versus Tomas Kalnoky (8-3) (Preview) The vacant bantamweight championship of the world is up for grabs and we get the pleasure of bearing witness to thos battle. Benny Caine and Tomas Kalnoky are a pair of submission specialists that focus the entirety of their skills on forcing their opponent to tap out. Benny Caine is a black belt and Tomas Kalnoky is a brown belt; Kalnoky is a vastly superior wrestler however. (Prediction) This fight could go either way and depend on who has the better game plan. “Everything else is virtually identical”. However, I will give this one to Benny Caine based on the level of competition he has faced. He has beaten superior wrestlers with brown belts. [A closer look] (Benny Caine) Record: 12-4 Knockouts: 0 Submissions: 11 Style: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Height: 4'9 Weight: 130 lbs Accomplishments: SUB of the night (x2) In this fight: He's going to do what he does best: keep this fight on the ground and dominate. He has had a great deal of success in advancing position and keeping himself out of danger on the ground. He has advanced position more than he has allowed opponents to advance thus far. The same cannot be said of his opponent. (Tomas Kalnoky) Record: 8-3 Knockouts: 0 Submissions: 6 Style: Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Height: 5'7 Weight: 146 lbs Accomplishments: SUB of the night (x3) In this fight: He needs to either keep this fight on the feet and pepper Caine with punches on the feet or find a way to stay a step ahead of the Jiu-Jitsu wizard. This is a very tough fight for him but it will put a tremendous feather in his cap if he can pull off the victory. (Welterweight Division, Championship Fight) Rafael Misiek (11-7-1) versus Grant Benton (10-7) (Preview) In this exciting welterweight championship fight, we have the heavy handed striker Rafael Misiek facing off against the well rounded Grant Benton. After competing at middleweight and composing a meek record of 3-2, Misiek signed to fight in an open weight league where he regularly fought against heavyweights and people that couldn't even make the heavyweight limit. He earned a combined record of 8-5-1 against the larger men with several finishes for good measure. This will be Rafael Misiek's first fight at his natural weight in his entire career. Grant Benton has often bounced betewen welterweight and lightweight. He has earned a title shot in every company that he has competed for but has always been on the outside looking in. Grant will take it to you anywhere the fight takes place: on the feet, in the clinch, on the ground. (Prediction) Grant Benton prefers to stand and trade power punches with opponents but I suspect he will bring out his wrestling for this fight and attempt to submit Misiek. Both of these guys have really solid chins and excellent gas tanks so expect this one to go the distance. [A closer look] (Rafael Misiek) Record: 11-7-1 Knockouts: 5 Submissions: 0 Style: Muay Thai, Wrestling Height: 5'9 Weight: 185 lbs Accomplishments: Fight of the Night (x2) In this fight: “He fights great, but I'm a great fighter” Well, I think this can be restated to say “Benton fights great in the clinch, but I'm a great clinch fighter.” I think Misiek is going to press Benton against the cage and unload with a flurry of punches, elbows, and knees in an overwhelming assault. (Grant Benton) Record: 10-7 Knockouts: 6 Submissions: 1 Style: Boxing, Wrestling Height: 5'9 Weight: 185 lbs Accomplishments: Fight of the Night (x2), KO of the Night, World Title Challenger (x2) In this fight: I expect Benton to try to drag this fight to the ground and I think he's going to get it. With his gas tank, he can keep pushing the wrestling and make this an ugly fight. I don't expect this one to be very highly rated but I could see Benton winning a judge's decision here. (Welterweight Division) Danny Glover (12-4) versus Jay Matsuo (5-4) (Preview) If you let Danny Glover pitch you his sale, he would tell you that he is the real lethal weapon and that his hands are registered lethal weapons. The fact of the matter is that in his first fourteen fights, he left the first round one time. The majority of his fights end within the first two minutes. He doesn't promise that he will beat every man he faces but he promises that he's going to go out and try. He guarantees with each appearance that he is going to do everything that is within his power to take the other guy's head off and fast. Jay Matsuo is going to try to drag this fight into the deep waters and make Danny Glover uncomfortable. Matsuo's style is a very smothering one in that he doesn't always go for the finish but he's constantly attacking. He throws strikes when he feels confident in them but prefers to double leg you and simply control you on the ground. He does go for submissions quite aggressively which allows for opponents to escape at times. (Prediction) With Glover's lack of wrestling and Matsuo's smothering dominance, expect this one to go to the final buzzer with Matsuo figuratively and literally on top. (Bantamweight Division) Tadeusz Ostrowski (4-0) versus Ray Wolfe (6-5) (Preview) Undefeated standout Tadeusz Ostrowski returns to the FFC cage for his fourth consecutive appearance to take the experienced brown belt, Ray Wolfe. Despite having virtually no striking skills, Tadeusz surprised us a bit when he dropped Tom Jarvis with heavy punches. Tom Jarvis jumped to his feet and tried to dive in on Ostrowski to get the fight to a safe place and instead opened himself to a power slam that put him away. Ray Wolfe also fought Tom Jarvis and dominated him on the ground before putting an exclamation point on it by submitting Jarvis. While Wolfe has technically faced more Jiu-Jitsu minded competition, the one brown belt that he couldn't best was Tadeusz Ostrowski himself. They met back in the regional QFC circuit with Ostrowski submitting Wolfe in the first round. (Prediction) Ostrowski repeats history and finishes Wolfe again. (Light-heavyweight Division) Damien Bishop (6-4) versus Edan De Farias (0-1) (Preview) Damien Bishop is a light-heavyweight boxer that has a tendency to head hunt with his straight punches. While this makes him a bit predictable, he does throw the occasional shot to the body as well, to mix things up. De Farias is, on paper at least, extremely well rounded. In his lone fight, he put up a gritty performance against a dangerous striker but lost. He will be looking to bring this fight to the ground and keep it there if he can. (Prediction) Damien Bishop may get taken down briefly but he has more than enough skill on the ground to survive, stall, and get a referee stand up. Get ready to see Bishop rebound from his recent rough patch with a brutal knockout here. (Bantamweight Division) Francis Underwood (2-0) versus Somulo Mafra (1-2) (Preview) Undefeated Muay Thai standout Francis “The VP” Underwood is a special kind of striker. He hits with the kind of stopping power that you can't teach; he hits you and the lights go off in your head, just like that. This allows him to strike freely without having to plant his feet to throw with power. His accuracy is part of what makes him a dangerous man to have across the cage from you. Couple that with his improved ground game, thanks to the Nauseated Training center and you've got a serious prospect on your hands. Somulo Mafra is a wrestler that has a little bit of boxing experience that he mostly uses for defense. He is virtually helpess on his feet and spends much of his time going for takedowns or trying to clinch with opponents. He does have decent ground and pound but he may actually find himself caught in a submission if Underwood's blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu is any indication of his submission offense. (Prediction) I don't think that Underwood has any submission offense; I believe his Jiu-Jitsu is purely for submission and transition defense. Expect Somulo to get a takedown early, get stalled into a standup, and then get knocked out by the accurate power strikes of Francis Underwood who improves to 3-0 with all first round finishes. (Heavyweight Division) Roger Howlingate (9-11) versus Royce Gracie (3-2) (Preview) Roger Howlingate is a boxer with heavy hands but only light ground skills. In FFC, he has been given a murderers row of tough grapplers and this fight will be no different. Royce Gracie is no Sean Watson but he is a dangerous submission hunter in his own right. This fight will hinge hugely on the wrestling of both men. (Prediction) Roger Howlingate stalls on the ground and scores a stoppage on the feet. (Welterweight Division) Namba Babakla (11-6) versus Steven Josslin (1-3) (Preview) Namba Babakla should, in all fairness, win this fight in quick and dramatic fashion. He is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt and a veteran of the sport. However, he has won 2 of his last 5 which also puts him in a difficult position on the roster. Meanwhile, Steven Josslin is a freestyle wrestler that really isn't that much of a threat for the former UPF title challenger. (Prediction) Namba Babakla via first or second round submission, no contest. (Light-heavyweight Division) Geoff George (0-0) versus Jaye Wong (1-7) (Preview) The wrestler Geoff George makes his mixed martial arts debut against veteran defeat speech artist Jaye Wong. Geoff is reportedly a blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu to compliment his wrestling pedigree whereas Jaye Wong is all over the place. Unpredictability can be a powerful asset in a fight... but not when YOU'RE the one that doesn't know what techniques you're going to use in your next fight. (Prediction) Geoff George wins this but I can't predict how well he will do until I see him fight at least one time. (Epilogue) Have I mentioned that all of this is possible because of the support and friendship of ORIGO Wear? Dieter Stone is managing a great clothing shop over in Amsterdam with some of the finest fighter apparel on the market. Do you want me to rhyme my sales pitch? Don't be a square, I swear; walk out in Origo Wear. If it's not obvious, I make second grade rhyme ability look good. Also, please, I implore you: send me quotes regarding your upcoming fight. Tell me why your fighter is going to SMASH his opponent or what your opponent can't do that he needs to do to win. Whatever you want. Be creative, be aggressive, and be fun. Keep in mind that I will edit and rewrite anything you send me to incorporate it into my previews so don't worry about how well you type or anything like that. Also, if you include a “victory/defeat speech” (under “Edit Fighter Details”) with any message that you want to include in there, I will put that in the reviews for the world to see. So don't hold back, please.

The frontpage picture even had a hilarious topic about it: http://www.mmatycoon.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20877 This post made me laugh. EDIT: That topic also makes me remember how hilarious blixxx was back in the day. That's how you troll people.

Biting is not about potential injury. It is just a disgusting thing to do. I won't hurt you if I piss on you, but it is much worse in my mind than punching you in the face.

Btw, faster recovery for season 2 was a big hit imo. It really hit the nail on the head and made season 2 better. Great feature.

Wow man, relax it was a joke. I thought that was pretty obvious but apparently not. I guess I should have added a smiley winkley face for ya. As for my second rate fighters, I believe it was your fighter that I just knocked out of Division 1 TWGC finals.

I think it would work beautifully with clothing companies because it would all be relative. instead of basing the "value" of your clothes on research and development, you would base it off of sponsorship's and the hype/pop of your sponsorship's. that creates a strategy for business owners to consider. where as the nutrition company would work off a ticker bar system based on the amount of research and development spent within the game. clothing would be based off of the amount of sponsorship hype/pop points your company maintains. And it would be relative to the other companies within the game, or city. for instance if your company sponsors 40 fighters that equal 4000 total hype/pop points. a competitor sponsors 40 fighters and their overall hype/pop points equals 5600. At that moment in time the competitors clothing would offer more morale boost. But it would fluctuate to a degree based on how your sponsored fighters are performing. it's also realistic to the real world. if you buy a pair of lebron james shoes, then most likely your going to feel a little better when you wear them. also as far as sponsorship value being relative to each fighters hype/pop. Companies pay big bucks every year to athletes and celebrities to use and market their brand. chuck liddel can still sell products. kimbo slice at one point in time could as well. but since then kimbo's stock has fell and he is not worth nearly the sponsorship value he once was. it would place a premium on sponsoring fighters, and the right fighters, where at the moment there is none. it would create competition between companies where at the moment there really isnt much. it would provide frequent activity to company owners which unless you own an org, currently there isnt any.

Thanks but that has never happened and it will never happen, ever.

That is the huge underdog/no physicals department combined with i wanted to test his confidence. And thanks.

Here's a little tip I figured out a few years ago. If you think you may have typed something really dumb, possibly due to drinking, just don't open the thread again. Pretend it didn't happen and in 3 days everybody will have hopefully and most likely forgotten. Negative votes are important by the way. Negative reinforcement is important and is a great way to show your disagreement without actually having to engage somebody who might be an idiot. Everybody knows that idiots drag you down to there level and beat you with experience and it just isn't worth the headache. Sometimes a "That is incorrect" button is nice. I personally find the lack of a thumbs down on facebook to be a bad thing.

"certain people" is a bullshit term... Anyone can be this "certain people" you speak of. I do not think it is fair that the people themselves of this forums think that their own collective judgment is ok. It is a mob mentality and everyone is just trying to get some sort of "aproval" from who? everyone? Mods? Mike? Whatever the case may be the fact remains that the undeserving are sometimes scapegoated from time to time. Which I find unfair. I haven't even been subject to this to be honest. The most negs i got in a post was like 5 maybe 6. And it was because people felt indirectly targeted and/or offended by my post I suppose. This is not me complaining cuz "jimmy punched me", this is me saying that y'all shouldn't be allowed to neg anymore. Does that make you uncomfortable? Will your "power" be gone if you can no longer neg a mofo?

So instead of jumping on the bandwagon of saying the same stuff everyone else does, how about you actually look at the companies yourself? I suppose the only worthwhile alliance is the one you are in right? I wouldn't be surprised if Mentor already had a multi in the alliance already, or if he had multis in most others Is that like your catchphrase nowadays?

Sergio D'Cruz "And again you have just proven 1-You are an idiot and 2-You understand you cannot take me on the ground. Enough said really I am talking all out ground war with guys like Alien and Alk. Not empty threats from someone like you."

We should investigate downvote abuse in the same way that we investigate other types of abuse. It should only be used for inappropriate messages, spam, or trolling. Simply disagreeing with an opinion or not liking the poster is not a reason for a downvote. Unless we stop this, trolls and abusers will have no motivation to improve, since they are going to get downvoted no matter what they do, plus people will be afraid to express any unpopular opinion out of fear of a downvote and the forums will become bland and one sided. People who use downvotes to say "I disagree" or "I don't like you" need to stop that shit and ACTUALLY POST A REPLY that they disagree or don't like the person.

Thank god you are not making the decisions. You do not get rid of one of the best 5-6 players in the world for biting someone. I think this biting is something like a jerk reaction he has. Not sure what it is, however one thing is certain that this is nowhere near as bad as a deliberate knee, elbow, headbutt or kick. I know it looks weird, but put it in prospective, how many of those "victims" he has bitten got injured? It is really not that bad. It is just entertaining if anything, lol. People want to see the best players, they care less about their off pitch antics, they care less if he likes to bite someone once every year. In fact i would pay money to watch Suarez bite someone while i was in the stands. I would put him a serious fine and that would be it.

Matt Cave was a legend. He had a lot of fighters about to prime or around that level when he left.
