  5. QUOTE (Eversor @ May 5 2010, 09:46 AM) You could choose either one for one of the four primaries: Boxing / Kick Boxing Muay Thai / Karate Wrestling / Judo BJJ / Sambo The primaries would affect secondaries something along these lines (both offensive and defensive): Boxing has better punches than Karate, but Karate affects kicks. Kick Boxing has better punches than Muay Thai, but Muay Thai has better clinchgame. Wrestling has better takedowns for shooting from afar, but Judo has better takedowns from the clinch. BJJ has better chokes, but Sambo has better leglocks. No gamebreaking changes, just a small coefficient to add a little more flavor. Existing fighters could have a one time opportunity to change their primaries to corresponding ones if they so wish for. Reviving a quote form an old thread and although not an immediate important must have improvement, I think this is actually a really, really, good & creative idea that would add a lot more depth, etc. Could use some revising of course, but the base idea is great. Instead of every fighter being boxer/muay thai/wrestler/bjj we could have something that makes them a lil different. The only challenge is finding the perfect style to pair up with it's counter part. I.E. to "argue with the quote" Boxing & Kickboxing could be paired up, but then what would you pair up with muay thai? And for Sambo, I'd say it gets a small boost to GNP & takedowns, and BJJ is submissions and defensive grappling. Maybe instead of "Karate" call it "Martial Arts" to give it a more broad horizon for the imagination of styles. Who knows. The only reason why I could see somebody suggesting against it is; everything fuctions as it is, it could be extremely complicated. Contrary to some belief, you really wouldn't have to add any additional flavor text. The most challenging thing in my mind about this would be tweaking the benefits you'd get for what primary, and programming that into the system, and also I don't know how secondaries and primaries mesh to create a "total" for the game's fight engine, all that is extremely complex to me. So if it required a major overhaul, obviously it really wouldn't be worth all the time but I firmly believe that the idea of seeing and being able to select one of two options, per primary, would be awesome. Not 100% sure if this was shot down or not, I seen a thread about "adding primary's" recently closed, but I'm not asking for a complete overhaul or anything like that, I would think it could be as simple as adding selective/optional text upon fighter creation? --- if that makes any sense. If it doesn't I could elaborate.

  6. I am nterested in joining an alliance. What do I bring to the table as manager? - 854 fights - More than 300 (t)KO wins - Experience with companies ( became number one with all different company types! ) - Experience at the elite level of fighting ( Hoi, Maldini,...) - Forum visibility, with 39.000 forum views ( record! ) and 9002 active forum posts. - A shitload of talk - A bunch of flashy stuff: http://i66.tinypic.com/5lrzua.png So if any alliance is interested in this amazing catch, lol, send over an invite and we'll see. Maybe I should join CK at Convicted, because if you can't beat them, you better join them ...+ they have golden showers.!!! ( actual image of Convicted's locker room ) or will the musketeers change their name (again ! ) and become ' The Eight Musketeers' ... all specially for me...? Time will tell.

Well I reckon that's a shut out for Simmons, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards. Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision. Judge Richard Clark scores the fight 30:27 Judge Colin Fotheringham scores the fight 30:27 Judge James Glass scores the fight 30:27 In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Brandon Simmons! A determined Brandon Simmons didn't want to dwell on this fight in his post fight interview. Instead he was more keen to state he wants a title shot. Let's see if he gets it! http://i.perezhilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/rick-ross.gif Two options next : 1) Fight the winner of Hoyce vs Gumption next for Gamma-gold and world dominance. or 2) Fight Mentor himself in an 'anything-goes' bare-knuckle fight to the death.

  11. Iron Man Fight Club – New Blood Tournament V.2 Round 2 (4th February 2018 – Hyashi’s Lounge, Los Angeles) Main Card Main Event – Heavyweight Division Vincent Lemieux (9-5, 270lbs) vs. Ricky “Big Tex” Hughes A big fight between big fighters will end the evening with Montreal slugger Vincent Lemiuex taking on the former IFC champion Ricky “Big Tex” Hughes. Up until his last fight, Lemieux had been on an absolute tear and managed to rack up a nine fight run of first round KO victories. He burst into the IFC in the same way, taking out big hitters Jaxson Wilder and Wilson Reyes in the process before running into young striker Terry Bogard and suffering the same fate that he had been dishing out. It was something of a shock result as many, including myself, didn’t think that Bogard had the power to stop Lemiuex in such a manner but these things happen and Lemieux will now look to put that result behind him. In order to do that however he will first need to get past IFC legend Ricky Hughes. Ricky “Big Tex” Hughes comes into this fight off the back of a solid TKO victory over Bricks Thrower and it was sorely needed as Hughes had been on a poor run of three loses previously. It’s fair to say that things haven’t quite been the same for Hughes since his reign at the top of the IFC rankings but that could all be set to change as Hughes begins anew in the newly formed Heavyweight division and will get to throw down with the big boys of the organisation. Tonight will be a great starting point too as they don’t get much bigger than Vincent Lemieux. On paper both fighters look to be very similar in most aspects of the fight. Both are around the same size in height and weight, both have similar records with a similar amount of KO finishes and both are predominantly strikers. Lemieux has the slightest bit higher ability in the boxing but Hughes could look to counter that with his mediocre Muay Thai which is something Lemieux has made no attempt to learn. The wrestling is an area that Lemieux might look to exploit and with his strong clinch game Hughes might do better keeping the fight at a distance or taking the fight to the floor. Hughes does like to mix things up and is usually a pretty good tactician when he has to be but one pretty big criticism of late has been his lack of accuracy with his strikes. He will need to make things count tonight as Lemieux is usually razor sharp with what he throws though he too has been seen to throw a little wildy of late. With both fighters currently residing in the heavyweight top 10 this will be an important fight and an especially big one for Hughes who is already on a win and could take a big step closer to his dream of regaining the gold strap with another win here tonight. Both fighters have the power to end the fight and both have a good record doing so. A very close fight to call. Co-Main Event – Middleweight Division Terry Bogard (6-3, 179lbs) vs. Jon “Enjoy Coke” Ubereem (12-6, 218lbs) Our co-main event of the evening features something of a grappler versus striker affair with high flying Terry Bogard taking on newcomer and former Island champion Jon Ubereem Terry Bogard will no doubt still be enjoying the adulation of his fans after his fantastic KO win over monster heavyweight Vincent Lemieux. It was a fight not too many expected him to win and defintely not in the way that he did. Perhaps in hindsight it shouldn’t have been quite as much of a surprise as Bogard does have a perfect percentage of KO’s in all his victories and now after taking out such a large opponent we have a better understanding of just how much power Bogard possess. For all Bogard’s success in mixed martial arts, his biggest failures have usually involved the grappling aspect and tonight he will be once again forced to deal with that side of things as he opponent Jon Ubereem is a very capable submission wrestler. Jon Ubereem makes his first appearance here in the IFC after a fairly successful period on the Island. Going 12-6 overall, Ubereem managed to briefly capture The Island Title’s light-heavyweight crown and though he dropped it in his very next fight, he would remain a top competitor for the org and would go on to challenge for it on another two occasions afterwards (Something of interest to note was that during the end of season grand tournament, Ubereem was eliminated in the second round by recent IFC signing Light Heavyweight) This is an interesting match up as both fighters have shown previous weakness to each others strong points. Fight 8 – Heavyweight Division Albert Van Rooy (3-2, 256lbs) vs. Hamish “The Pig” McTavish (5-3, 292lbs) Next up, a big opportunity for young Thai boxer Albert Van Rooy who is currently riding high on a three fight win streak and he will be going up against dangerous wrestler Hamish “The Pig” McTavish. Van Rooy struggled initially in his first couple of fights perhaps finding the adjustment from a pure striking art like Muay Thai into the all round world of mixed martial arts a little too overwhelming. However he has made some good improvements lately and has managed to bounce back with consecutive finish wins and move into the top 15 of the new heavyweight rankings. His opponent Hamish McTavish will be looking to bounce back from his first loss in five fights after a tough fight against IFC veteran Greg “The Gronk” Bell ended by third round TKO. It was a big step up for McTavish in the IFC who had up to then beaten his first two opponents with relative ease and make his way up towards the top of the heavyweight rankings. Now currently ranked #13 McTavish will look to put that loss behind him with a win over Van Rooy. McTavish will need to act swiftly and efficiently if he is to avoid taking any punishment from Van Rooy in the stand up. There is no doubt that he possesses enough of a wrestling pedigree to put Van Rooy down but whether he can do it before Van Rooy can launch a big shot or combination is the big question. McTavish is said to be still feeling the effects on his morale from his last loss but this would be no time to be hesitant. Despite his last loss and current mental state, McTavish will still enter the fight as the favourite but if he is too gun shy to get in close for a take down it’ll certainly be a short night for the Scottish grappler. Fight 7 - New Blood Tournament V.2 – Round 2 Armel Vidal (2-0, 146lbs) vs. Warren Goldner (1-0, 245lbs) The first fight from the New Blood tournament features two talent young strikers both who defied the bookmakers odds to make it past their wrestling orientated first round opponents. It will also be something of a David versus Goliath match up as natural bantamweight Armel Vidal gives up almost one-hundred pounds to heavyweight Warren Goldner. In his first round match up, Armel Vidal put on a fantastic display of striking against wrestler Pedro Costa who bizarrely made almost no attempt to take the fight to the floor. Instead it turned into a fifteen minute game of tag with Vidal launching in and out of distance and peppering Costa with stinging shots to the head and body. On the one occasion Vidal did find himself dragged to the floor by Costa he showed tremendous calm under pressure to fend off the barrage of submission attempts sent his way and managed to force the stand up by the referee. It was a solid performance in the face of such a weight deficit and really proved that a smaller striker can triumph over a much larger wrestler. Now he will need to do it all again only this time around it won’t be take downs he will need to be vary of. Warren Goldner had the second fastest KO of the evening at thirteen seconds and with it the shock underdog victory over Dreamier Panda who many had picked over Goldner to win. It took only a couple of shots to the head and body and one combination thrown with the meanest of intentions to thrust Goldner on into this second round match up and now, with that big KO behind him, he will no doubt feel very confident going into this fight tonight. With only the slightest bit of difference in wrestling between the two of them, Goldner’s height and weight is expected to factor heavily in the outcome of the fight. To be victorious, Armel Vidal is going to have to put on an absolute striking masterclass. He is going to have to hit and run, most likely for the full fifteen minutes unless he can somehow force a doctors stoppage via cut, all the while avoiding the heavy hands of Goldner and that could possibly be far too much to ask. Armel Vidal will be the overwhelming underdog in this fight but he will have many fans tuning in to see whether he can once again upset the odds or whether it will be the big German Warren Goldner in the next round. Undercard Fight 6 - New Blood Tournament V.2 – Round 2 Boris Boulder (1-0, 180lbs) vs. Georges “The Guillotine” Danton (1-0, 215lbs) Boris Boulder had a fairly straight forward first round fight against the largest fighter in the tournament Paily Vattakkuzhi and managed to avoid getting stuck on his feet against the heavy handed striker. He did have a little scare when the referee penalised him for stalling and stood them back up and Boulder paid for his inactivity with a large cut courtesy of a Vattakkuzhi right hand. That was the extent of the big mans offence however and Boulder was able to get another takedown and this time made sure to finish the fight with a rear naked choke. It was a solid performance but you get the impression that Boulder wasn’t really tested. Tonight there is no doubt Boulder is in for a real challenge. Georges Danton’s first round opponent Nigel Farage was coming from the same camp as previous tournament winner Fay Gott and so it was fair to say that Danton was the underdog. What transpired was a complete surprise with Danton utterly dominating Farage from the outside and in the clinch. As if to show just how well rounded Danton was, he also managed a takedown in the first round though it served mainly for points scoring as nether fighter had any real interesting in wasting too much energy on the ground. Danton was aggressive and deadly accurate and though it took him a little while, the striking onslaught eventually became too much and after several knockdowns was able to put Farage away for good. Though Danton has made incredible progress in his skills overall he will still be a few steps behind Boulder in regards to grappling. There is very much a grappler versus striker vibe coming off of the match up but that is mainly because we assume to know the game plan of each fighter. On paper Danton is overwhelmingly the favourite in the stand up and really this fight will come down to how well he can defend Boulder’s inevitable shot and ground attack. If he can keep the fight standing there is very little chance of him not finishing the fight inside three rounds. Usually the wrestler would be favoured but in this case the bookies are picking Danton to win based mainly on his rapid improvements over the past month and his all round skill set. Fight 5 - New Blood Tournament V.2 – Round 2 Dai Zexi (2-0, 220lbs) vs. Carver Frost (1-0, 258lbs) One of the most intriguing fighters in the tournament in Carver Frost makes his return in the second round and he is taking on China’s Dai Zexi who had a tough battle in his first round match up. Frost came into the tournament looking very unorthodox and many were speculating whether he was prepared for such competition. Five seconds into his opening round fight and all questions were answered by Frost’s ungodly uppercut that blasted his poor opponent clear off his feet. Though it wasn’t much to go on we can rest assured that, at the very least, Frost has enough power in his hands to put fear in his opponents heart. Standing across from him will be Dai Zexi, a BJJ brown belt who displayed some real eagerness to scrap in his first round battle against fellow brown belt Kurt Wagner and also some very good defensive capabilities as he managed to stuff eight out of the ten of Wagner’s takedown attempts and all of his attempts at a submission. Zexi was surprisingly aggressive in the stand up but in the end finished with a slick armbar from guard. There’s no illusion of this match up being anything other than a grappler versus striker battle with Frost’s biggest weakness being his white belt level jiu-jitsu skills. The problem for Zexi will be in getting the fight to the ground. Though there isn’t a massive gulf between them in the wrestling, Frost is slightly better and that may mean it takes longer than Zexi will want and in the meantime will have to stand in front of the man with a five second KO from hell. Zexi wasn’t afraid of throwing and mixing up his strikes in the first fight and though he didn’t manage to land anything, the mere fact that he isn’t just a one dimensional ground and submit fighter, he may find that his rudimentary striking skills are enough to distract Frost and help with securing the takedown. On the flip side it could also lead straight into a Carver Frost counter straight down the pipe. The most interesting aspect of this fight is that a win for Zexi in this round would give him somewhat of a favourable match up in the next round against one of the two current favourites in Mohammed Ruslanov or Jake Kirby. Both are ground and pound wrestlers and as it is said that styles make fights, Zexi’s is tailor made to catch out wrestlers. A tough fight to predict overall although there is really only two ways this fight will end. Either Frost will add another to his highlight reel or Dai Zexi will be adding another submission win to his record. Fight 4 - New Blood Tournament V.2 – Round 2 Mohammed Ruslanov (2-0, 235lbs) vs. Jake “The Rattlesnake” Kirby (1-0, 180lbs) The fight that is slated to decide the tournament with imposing wrestler Mohammed Ruslanov taking on one of the Kirby families own, Jake “The Rattlesnake” Kirby. Both fighters put on dominant first round performances though Ruslanov had to work much harder than was anticipated for his unanimous decision win over scrappy Sal Sizarro. Though Ruslanov would have needed a little time to recover after his first round fight he looks to have wasted not a single minute in the gym and has managed to get his promotion to purple belt and is even looking sharper in his wrestling too. Very scary considering he was already at a wonderful level. He displayed some exceptional control during his fight and remained active for the most part constantly peppering his opponent with strikes. Some critics commented on the power of those strikes however and his inability to finish the fight whilst in dominant positions. This almost came back to bite him when dropped the third round after finding himself taken down and fighting off submission attempts for the remainder so it will be interesting to see if he will adjust anything going into this bout His opponent Jake Kirby had no such trouble finishing his first round fight after taking down boxer James Dean Bradfield right at the start of the fight and hammered him with viscous ground and pound that opened up a huge cut and forced the doctor to step in. It was typical of the Kirby tournament style that we have come to expect and now we will get to see it tested against an extremely formidable opponent in Ruslanov. This fight is going to be pistols at dawn. The bell will ring and we will see who has the fastest draw. It is imperative for each fighter to secure the early take down and be the one dishing out the punishment rather than the one trying to regain position from their backs. We know that the Kirby style is a proven one but will it be enough to crack that granite chin that Ruslanov has? We also know that Ruslanov is exceptionally good at controlling his opponent but if he can’t get the finish in the first round will he be able to go fifteen minutes without giving Kirby an opening? So many questions that could be asked but hopefully we will find our answers tonight. Fight 3 - New Blood Division Nigel Farage (0-1, 220lbs) vs. Sal Sizzaro (0-1, 270lbs) Nigel Farage came into the tournament as a potential favourite off the back of his camp winning the previous tournament. Disappointingly, Farage was outclassed and KO’d in the second and eliminated at the first hurdle. An opportunity for redemption tonight perhaps but unfortunately his management team have been awol for almost two weeks so it doesn’t bode well. Ready to take advantage of this set back in preparation for Farage is Jamaica’s Sal Sizzaro who, despite his self depreciating demeanour put on a very gritty performance against tournament favourite Mohammed Ruslanov and pushed him to the very limit but ultimately lost a unanimous decision two rounds to one. This fight will be very much wrestler versus striker and currently it’s looking very likely that Sizzaro waltzes through Farage with ease. Unless Farage can come up with something last minute his game plan from his opening tournament fight will simply not cut it against a wrestler with good takedowns and an eagerness for submissions and so with that Sizzaro will be the heavy betting favourite going into this fight Prelims Fight 2 - New Blood Division “The Dangerous” Beast Incarnate (0-1, 145lbs) vs. Dreamier Panda (0-1, 220lbs) Next up, two eliminated fighters that will be feeling very upset with the results of their first round match up’s with “The Dangerous” Beast Incarnate taking on Japanese wrestler Dreamier Panda. Natural flyweight Beast Incarnate was unfortunately on the wrong side of the opening rounds quickest finish when he lost to Carver Frost in only five seconds. It was a massive anticlimax as the Incarnate/Frost match up was easily the most intriguing of the first round and to end like that, though spectacular in it’s way, was also disappointing in others. Another fighter who suffered from a very early exit is Dreamier Panda. Panda was coming from the same camp as previous tournament third place fighter Xing Pugberg and so was a clear favourite over striker Warren Goldner. It wasn’t to be though as Goldner absolutely hammered Panda with ferocious shots to the head and body and ended with a beautiful left hook that finished the bout in only thirteen seconds. With neither fighter managing to showcase any real offence in their first fights there’s still plenty of questions that will be needing answers. On paper we it looks like this fight is likely to Panda securing a takedown and purpler belt jiu-jitsu fighter Incarnate looking for submissions of his back. Of course that is just guesswork and we look forward to seeing the truth behind these two young fighters tonight. Fight 1 - New Blood Division Kurt “Nightcrawler” Wagner (0-1, 210lbs) vs. Paily “Dragon” Vattakkuzhi (1-2, 282lbs) Opening the tonight’s event will be two eliminated fighters from this ongoing tournament with BJJ fighter Kurt “Nightcrawler” Wagner taking on massive heavyweight Paily “Dragon” Vattakkuzhi. In his opening round Wagner was match up against fellow BJJ brown belt Dai Zexi and gave his all in a back and forth submission shoot out only to get caught with an armbar midway through round two. He’ll be facing big striker Paily Vattakkuzhi who despite being overwhelmed by superior a superior wrestler in Boris Boulder was able to showcase just how heavy handed he is when he opened up a cut on Boulder with his one and only punch. Usually the jiu-jitsu fighter is at a massive disadvantage against most types of fighter but in this case Wagner will be feeling pretty good about himself as those few wrestling sessions that he has been putting in lately look like they will be the key to the whole fight. With rumours that Vattakkhuzhi is also broke and hasn’t even been training since his opening loss bolstering Wagner’s chances this really is Wagner’s fight to lose.

  16. [Screen fades in and starting music and credits roll. The MMAAddict.com logo pops into view. Ricky Warner, the show’s host, looks up at the camera and begins his intro.] Ricky Warner: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Weekly MMAAddict.com vlog. This week I will be doing a preview of the newest fight promotion to hit the scene in Sydney, Australia, SFC – Sydney Fights. Their seventh event is slated to take place on February 4th, 2018 at Paddy O’Mallys – Sydney. The event has ten fights scheduled and could prove to be the most hyped show to date for the fledgling organization. SFC is owned and operated entirely by Boble Lineman from Frankfurt, Germany. He is a very vocal member of The Evil Empire alliance, which is owned and operated by my personal friend, Brunno Falcone. So, without further delays, let’s take a look at the card from bottom to top. Jengo “The Chief” Makumba (0-0) vs. Kevin Durant (0-0) The evening will open with two fighters making their professional debuts. The only thing we have to go on for these two fighters is their amateur records, and reports from scouts. The Chief is a wonderfully skilled boxer, but little else. Having never seen him fight, I cannot comment on his power or ability to take a hit. Looking at his manager reveals nothing either, since this will be the first fight for him as well. He is a member of the Heritage Alliance which is owned by the infamous and volatile, Humours. It’s reputation is far from what you would call sterling, but how much of that comes from the alliance and how much from Humours himself, is up for debate. His opponent, Durant, is a similarly skilled, one dimensional fighter, but his favored discipline is Muay Thai. Since neither of these guys has a ground game to speak of, it’s a no-brainer that this fight will take place on the feet. Despite Durant’s manager being a member of the Legion of Doom alliance, he sports an absolutely terrible record. So in conclusion this fight will take place on the feet, but beyond that, it’s really a toss-up. Prediction: Makumba by decision. Next up on the roster: Frank “The Big Tank” Drillon (3-2-1) vs. Voshon “The Pain Train” Daniels (0-0) Drillon has no experience outside of the QFC and even then he managed to not win half of those fights. Even his manager is sporting a 50% record. His only standout skills are possibly his blue belt in BJJ. Considering Daniels’ almost complete lack of skill in that department. Drillon is, arguably, the better boxer, but Daniels sports a solid Muay Thai base and he is equally skilled as a boxer. Ring experience could play a factor here, but if I know Brunno, he will have his inexperienced fighters following his orders very closely. Over all, I’ve got to give this fight to Voshon Daniels since he is older and coached by a more established manager. I would be willing to bet that Drillion simply will not have the skill to get this fight to the ground where his only real chance to win lies. Without the ability to get his opponent down, he loses every time. Prediction: Voshon Daniels by KO. The next fight is about redemption for one of these fighters. Yamil “Chango” Villanueva (0-1) vs. Gabor "The Viking" Olvirsson (0-1) Both of these fighters lost their debut fights, and have got to be looking for the chance to prove they are still viable. Villanueva, is, by far, the more well-rounded fighter as far as skillset is concerned. His strongest aspect as far as disciplines go is his wrestling. That is not saying much as he is competent, but not impressive. Olvirsson, by contract has a far more focused skillset and his remarkable boxing skills will prove a difficult obstacle for Villanueva to overcome. Both fighters are managed by managers that are new to the world of MMA and nothing can be gleaned from that. So it comes down to the tale of the tape, so to speak. That tape is telling me that The Viking is going to even the score. And he will do it by having his way with Villanueva. Prediction: Gabor “The Viking” Olvirsson by KO or TKO. More debuts… “Black” Nathaniel Strong (0-0) vs. Rivo Riitta (0-0) This is an interesting matchup. Both of these fighters are remarkably skilled boxers, with a smattering of skills elsewhere. Strong is competent in his wrestling capabilities and I suspect that will be more than enough to stop the desperate attempts by Riitta to get the fight into his world. His Brown belt in BJJ will make him dangerous on the ground. If this goes to the ground, this fight will probably be ended quickly by Riitta, but getting it there should prove problematic. Prediction: “Black” Nathaniel Strong, KO The next fight is a specialist vs. generalist fight. Grabstrong Stranglegod (1-0) vs. Taga "Cold Piece " Lampshade (0-0) Grabstrong is, in fact, strong in his wrestling game and has a blue belt in BJJ. He is a bit more seasoned at twenty-one years of age, but he is training in the awful Cozad gym, and his only fight, which he did win, to his credit, was in the QFC. His opponent, Lampshade does hail from the LOD alliance, which could, or at least should mean that he alliance mates that could prove helpful. He is a generalist, with skills across the whole spectrum. He is the better fighter overall in this matchup and even though he is outclassed in wrestling skills, he is every bit the equal of Stranglegod in Brazilian Jujitsu and should prove a foil to Stranglegod’s efforts on the ground. Stranglegod, won his QFC match by strikes though and not submission so it is possible that he could pull out the win on the ground via GnP. To Stranglegod’s credit though he also does have a pretty solid chin. I think that this could prove one of the more interesting fights on the card. Prediction: Tough to call, but I think Lampshade could win this via decision. Hans "Ko Reel" Nebel (1-0) vs. Billy "Brutal" Bobkins (1-0) Styles make fights, so they say, but I beg to differ. At least to some extent I do, that is. When you have a fighter with superior grappling vs. someone with superior striking, you usually have a very lopsided fight. Either the striker stuffs all attempts at taking the fight to the ground and punishes the grappler for trying it, or the takedown spam works and then the grappler has his way with the striker. Experienced managers train their strikers in a way that usually results in tremendous takedown defense. This will make for a rather unproductive and unsatisfying night for the grappler. Here is the interesting part about these guys though. They both have very quick KOs to the record, but Neble scored a mind-blowing, five-second knockout. I think this fight will not last long and someone will be taking a nap by the end of it. It could go either way, but I predict… Prediction: Hans "Ko Reel" Nebel by KO. Mahir "Mahe" Ferhatbegovic (0-1) vs. Alexander "Hammer" Nielsen (1-0) This next fight is fairly evenly matched. Ferhatbegovic has noticeably better wrestling, but to say that he has good wrestling would be an overstatement. He fought a far more experienced fighter in the QFC and he got taken down and torn apart on the ground. You all should know my disdain for the QFC by now, so it should come as no surprise that I think this is not an indication of how good or bad Ferhatgovic is. Nielsen won a hard-fought split decision in his debut and proved that he is going to fight from bell to bell. He also might have the chin to take what Ferhatgovic throws. Prediction: Alexander "Hammer" Nielsen decision. King Yelats (0-0) vs. Antonio "Mago" Medina (1-0) Two more somewhat evenly matched fighters. These two seem to mirror each other in their strengths. Yelats is a stronger boxer, but gives up a bit in his Muay Thai. He is a significantly better wrestler but lacks any real skill in BJJ. “Mago” has a late third round TKO is his QFC fight, which speaks to his energy levels and his ability to soak up some punishment perhaps, but he doesn’t seem to have any standout abilities that can mark him as a clear-cut winner in this fight. Yelats, we just don’t know enough about, yet. Looking at the amateur records of these two and what we know about their skill levels, I would be inclined to lean towards Yelats. Prediction: King Yelats by Decision or possibly (T)KO. Entering the main card, we see what appears to be a pretty lopsided matchup. Rick "Roidburg" Piano (4-0) vs. Kip "African Sensation" Longang (0-0) In what appears to be a ritual sacrifice of the org owner’s own fighter he is facing Rick Piano. This guy looks like he eats steroids for breakfast and washes it down with Human Growth Hormone. He is an animal and he sports a flawless 4-0 record. He has destroyed everyone that steps in his way with his raw KO power. Putting an untested fighter in the cage with him could prove disastrous. This one is a no-brainer. If you are a betting man, then bet on Piano. There is nowhere that Longang can win this unless he brings a gun. Prediction: Rick “Roidberg” Piano KO. Somebody’s O has to go in the main event for this card. Cj "The Mauler" Morrison (1-0) vs. Bill Shorton (2-0) Morrison seems to do his best work from the clinch having done most of the damage in his debut while there. But he may have a lack of KO power because despite the accuracy of his punches, he didn’t seem to have enough power to put his opponent away. Maybe he’s been pumping lots of iron in his training camp, but as it looks now we can expect precision over power from Morrison. Shorton on the other hand definitely has power. He has les than two and a half minutes total time in the cage. With both opponents taking a nap. However, both those opponents were in the QFC. One thing is undeniable in this main even fight. The power is Shorton’s main strength. Both of these guys sport solid standup, albeit in different disciplines, and I don’t see this fight ending up on the mat. These two are going to meet in the middle of the cage and beat the Hell out of each other. And that can have but one outcome as I see it. Prediction: Bill Shorton KO. Well, there you have it folks.

When i want to make a custom avatar, i dont go searching through 300,000 fighters to make sure nobody's used the picture i want to use before. People need to stop taking coincidences like this so personally lol

  21. IFC 36 - Butabi vs. Bell (3rd February 2018 - King Theatre, Los Angeles) Event Preview by BrotherHec IFC XXXVI is held with a lot of up and comers and men who are looking to get back to winning ways.There are two fights that as a fan I am very interested in watching and that is the CJ McGregor fight and the Peidis vs Roth fight. It will also be intriguing to see how the Kirby brothers perform in their first fight on the Third of February. It is expected that the King Theater in Los Angeles will sell over 5,000 tickets and one can surely hope that would be the case as these 16 fighters seek to dominate their opponents. Main Card Main Event - Heavyweight Division "Big" Steve Butabi (7-1, 290lbs) vs Greg "The Gronk" Bell (7-8, 300lbs) To get right to the main event at IFC XXXVI we have the Knockout artist “Big” Steve Butabi taking on a submission specialist in Greg “the Gonk” Bell. Bell will be looking to even out his record to a balanced 8 wins and 8 losses if he is able to dismantle the beast in Butabi. With Gronks majority of wins coming via submission it is fair to speculate that his game plan may have something to do with taking Butabi to the ground. This could prove dangerous for Butabi as the only loss he holds was when he was submitted against Mew Choo for the title last November. The odds may not be entirely against Steve however, recent reports coming in have stated that The Gronk is going through a morale funk. Sparring partners Crapollas gym have brought up how he looks to have dropped his desire in fighting. Only time will tell what will happen with these two warriors but you can almost guarantee that this fight will not be going to the judges. BrotherHec’s Prediction: Steve Butabi will land a head kick knockout in the second round. Co-Main Event - Iron Man Division Schmorgan Biscuit (8-4, 218lbs) vs "Corpse Making Cowboy" Don Joe (8-4, 190lbs) When two light heavyweights collide one can almost always expect fireworks. The case isnt different here when Biscuit and Joe square off. The two 205 pounders are coming off of some tough losses in their careers. Joe, who recently sought new management under Alfred Winterbottom II, suffered two defeats in his last two performances inside the octagon. The once terror with knockout power was left beaten within an inch of his life when he fought in his last match and now he looks to gain the momentum he once had. With Biscuit he lost a split decision that many had him winning in. No doubt looking to add his name back into the mix he will be hoping to take down Don Joe and submit him. Many of Biscuits sparring partners have already chalked it up as an easy submission win for him stating that “Joe is just not at the same level as Biscuit.” Social media have been in a storm as fans and pundits alike have been dismissing Don Joes chances of bringing the pain as he once did in the cage. BrotherHec’s Prediction: Biscuit will take Joe down in the first and submit him. Fight 8 - Lightweight Division Wolfgang Lee Roth (7-4, 154lbs) vs Tzwrtzos Peidis (5-1, 165lbs) Four time submission of the night winner Roth is looking to once again add another trophy to his collection. The only issue with this is that Peidis has never been submitted. Not only that but his wrestling ability has proven that none of his opponents have been able to take him down. At first glance one would see a brown belt against a white belt and quickly brush aside any chance of the white belt taking home the win. That would be of course, if Lee Roth was able to get the fight to the ground. With both of these men being identical in their wrestling skill its hard to see where the fight will end up. Proponents of Peidis insist that his infamous ten second knockout over Ferdinand Richmond or his most recent knockout against Alexander Magomedov will be the same way he finishes Roth. Just as roth has been knocked out twice before, they find it to be inescapable when he faces Peidis. Unfortunately for many the key aspect they are missing is that Roth is a veteran of IFC and Peidis is just making his debut for the organization. The skill level is a step up and an opponent like Roth will surely test if Peidis is up for the challenge. BrotherHec’s Prediction: Peidis will stuff a takedown attempt and score a second Round knockout. Fight 7 - Heavyweight Division Vedran "Blondebeard" Stefanovic (4-4, 260lbs) vs Randall "Natural" Couture (7-3, 233lbs) When Natural and Blondebeard square off it will be a tale of two fighters. These fighters both with the ability to end a fight with one punch are looking to do so to their opponent come Saturday. Blondebeard, a two time knockout of the night winner has seen quite the dip in his morale as he just can’t seem to find consistency in winning. It appears that ever since he joined up in the IFC he has been frustrated with not catching the classic highlight reel finish. Some of his training partners have talked about when his last fight ended there was something different in his eyes, many believe that he looks to correct what went wrong in his last fight. It will be a tough challenge for sure as he goes against a man known for his wrestling expertise in Randall. As he entered the IFC cage for the first time many find that he will look to win by riding out this fight to earn himself another decision victory. Natural himself has not been in the best of form as he as also suffered recent losses. The last two losses were both in the first round and by knockout, a way with which many see Blondebeard winning. Ever since the WFC has closed many speculated whether the fighters from that org could compete with those in IFC when they made their transition and the Natural is set to prove that to be the case. BrotherHec’s Prediction: Blondebeard will take home his third knockout of the night award. Undercard Fight 6 - Middleweight Division Kung Le (3-4, 178lbs) vs. Bea "Rick" Mason (7-4, 175lbs) *Fight was signed late. Apologies (Alfred) Fight 5 - Lightweight Division "Notorious" CJ McGregor (4-1, 156lbs) vs Aidan Aukhadov (0-0, 160lbs) They Hype train is real! At least that is what the irish fans have been claiming about Cj. They say that Cj McGregor is here to stay and he is looking to prove that when he takes on Aidan Aukhadov in one of the most anticipated striking matchups of the card. The former Kamikaze fighter is known to finish fights and in spectacular fashion. The 21 year old is looking to dismantle the unknown muay thai fighter with ease and to propel himself into talk for fighting for the 155lbs title. Aidan is relatively new to mixed martial arts and with what we have heard from him in the news it would be fair to say he is an underdog. Reports from Crapollas gym state that he is diligently working on improving his overall game inside the cage. His coaches have shared that a few sparring partners have succumbed to his high level kickboxing skills and has blast on the gym scene and by the end of the year will be the champion. When these two strikers finally get the chance to face off the story wont be so much about who has the better knockout power it will be about who holds the higher striking defense. It will easily go down to be the individual with the better defense that will walk away with this one. BrotherHec’s Prediction: Aidan will find a spot for an elbow in the clinch and end the fight via KO. Fight 4 - Heavyweight Division "The Phenomenal" Orgasmic Bliss (2-3, 300lbs) vs Pete "Red Bull" Blowkarski (2-3, 285lbs) In a fight where two men are looking to get their careers back on track you can be assured that there will be blood and sweat throughout the entire fight. Orgasmic Bliss has been seen working heavily on his ground game. The now purple belt in brazilian jiu jitsu is expected by many to secure a decisive win by submitting the less competent grappler in Pete Blowkarski. Proponents of Red Bull Blowkarski dismiss claims of Bliss finishing the new comer to IFC. His coach was quoted in saying, “He has faced high level grapplers in all of his fights. IF you look what he did to his last opponent who had a purple belt you would put your money on Red Bull too.” It is true that Blowkarski has an astonishing ability to counter his opponents and send them home. It was with one swift head kick in his last fight he took home the win and switched organizations. Bliss himself does not seem to be too worried about the incoming striker, especially when he puts him on his back. BrotherHec’s Prediction: Orgasmic Bliss via Submission in the first round. Fight 3 - New Blood Division Odogwu Agrinya (1-2, 240lbs) vs Thomas “Elbow King” Farrier (0-1, 190lbs) When phenomenal striker goes up against a balanced martial artist one can only speculate the outcome. Odogwu Agrinya first burst onto the mma scene back in September of last year suffering a vicious knockout from within the clinch. Just a couple of weeks later he found himself yet again being knocked out in the first round. Many fighters at this point are sacked from their managers when they dont show any promise, Agrinyas manager decided it was in both their best intrest to take a couple of months off of fighting and focus on improvements. Training out at The Garden in London England it is evident that Odogwu has taken his striking to a new level, a level we have never seen before. After that time of training was up he took on a dangerous striker in Christian Shaw who he completely dismantled in the first round. The question is will he be able to do the exact same thing to the Elbow King. Many fans have criticized the striking capability of the Elbow King stating that he has no business entering the cage with such a talented striker in Agrinya. His last fight was against a man arguably with lesser striker than Agrinya so it really makes one wonder what the Elbow King has up his sleeve. This really appears to be a one sided affair leaving us with uncertainty over how long Thomas will last. BrotherHecs Prediction: Elbow King gets knocked out in the first round. Prelims Fight 2 - New Blood Division Ruben Kirby (0-0, 265lbs) vs Hennig Muller (0-3, 184lbs) Fighting with IFC since their 25th event, the german warrior Hennig Muller is looking to welcome Ruben Kirby not just to IFC but to mma in general. Kirby relatively new to the sport has been in training for the past few months. Aiming to perfect his skills before he made his professional debut he found the perfect opponent to showcase his acclaimed knockout power. When a fighter like Kirby enters the scene the best place to get the scoop on a guy like him is to run to the gym he trains at and watch what goes down, and we were not let down. We watched Kirby hit the pads and do bag work. The hand speed was one thing but when it came to how hard his hands connected on the bag it left us worried not just for Muller but for the entire division. It left no doubt in our minds what Kirbys aim was so of course we had to get some footage of Muller training to have a fair comparison for everyone. Taking the month of January off Muller focused a lot on his ability to direct the fight in a fashion where he would succeed and do so massively. We studied the quickness with his takedowns and the counter striking he had on display when he sparred. For us it was the clear that Muller is coming to take Kirby down while Kirby is looking to keep this fight standing up. This is not a fight between two fighters as it is between two trainers. The tale is going to be about how the two of them have prepared their fighters. Will Kirby be able to defend and get his career started on the right foot or will Muller take Kirby down and earn a ground and pound victory? BrotherHecs Prediction: Kirby will be precise with his strikes and score a knockout victory ending Mullers career. Fight 1 - New Blood Division Vincenzo Kirby (0-0, 215lbs) vs Long Thai (0-3, 165lbs) When one Kirby brother goes to war the other goes to war, at least that is what it looks like. Vincenzo Kirby will be making his professional debut alongside his brother Ruben for IFC 36. It is expected to be quite a good night for Ruben but Vincenzo has a harder battle to fight by the looks of things. Long Thai is an elite striker. Expert in punches, elbows, kicks, and knees this man is dangerous everywhere the fight looks. Its no secret that his ametuer kickboxing record was flawless but since entering into the mma scene he has had no success in properly transferring his skills over. Long Thais first performance was a disaster as he came in over confident that he would really showcase his potential and easily pick apart his opponent. In doing so he had his hands down and got caught with a massive punch that he never recovered from. His last two opponents did not really want to engage with him on the feet so they took him down immediately. The question for Kirby is will he attempt to knockout Long Thai on the feet or take the fight to the ground. Speculation has loomed large for Vincenzo if he even really wants this fight. His training partners and coaches have stated that he seems more interested in making sure his brother pulls off the win rather than himself, perhaps that is just the instinct of an older brother. Although Kirbys striking is not terrible it is something that he probably will not rely too heavily on in this fight. Expectation is that he will stay on the feet for a while and before he begins looking for takedowns on Long Thai. Whatever the case Kirby will be more privy to Long Thais strengths and weaknesses more than the other way around. BrotherHecs Prediction: Kirby wins via decision.

  27. I'm not interested in being on the payroll for being an actual writer. I don't know if I have the time, but I will see if I can get a write-up done for SyFi 7. Try looking in the forums for orgs that are hiring, look at the various orgs in the city you are based in (you can get there via the Highstreet link on the main menu), and make sure your fighter's checkbox on the My Fighters page is checked for need contract. Once you have been signed to an org then they will periodically offer you fight offers. Those are fairly self-explanatory. I would recommend an ID restricted org. Most such orgs will have a number in parenthesis after their name telling you what their ID restriction is. Your ID is in parenthesis after your fighter's name.

  37. It has been 3 weeks now since a subforum has been created for around 40 members to discuss possible improvements and 'get shiz done' . We all got a message in game from Mike on the 8th of August, called ' Bits and pieces'. Foolishly, I supposed to see a first tiny update on what was being worked on. Instead, it was a message saying the group was formed a week ago and that any progress would be noted on the spoiler page. I put on my glasses, but still have not seen any update there yet, up to today. But oh wait, there is a fantasy football thing you should really sign up for and his forum post about Cryptocurrency ... !! I'll be releasing a bunch of my guys and retire the rest of my guys soon, while I sit down and wait for any real progress that might gain my believe back for MMAtycoon. Subforum-group, please kick ass when hibernating-Mike is not, so that this game can thrive again one day! All the best. Bjorn

The second one was adding p4p and weight ranks to the TOTT which is done. The third one is a belt cabinet which is being worked on now. At the same time as that we've automated real life events for bookmakers and have added staff to Buzz, which I'm going to post about today. This IS being listed on the spoiler page. You're just too daft to scroll down to the updates section.

  41. Short post because I haven't though about this in great depth. Right now the most effective way to train up a young fighter is to stick him in the gym for several in game years with a couple of hidden testing fights, in reality this is extremely unusual -- the act of competition helps a fighter gauge their skills and improve, but in MMA tycoon it's rare to see any significant number of fights on young fighters because it's also their prime learning time. Perhaps grant some kind of learning bonus to fighters who have fought more recently, and perhaps some kind of negative to slow down those who haven't -- maybe making it harder to reach certain skill levels without fights, or just slowing learning down a bit entirely. It would help the game on a few levels -- for one it would let new players have some kind of chance at lower hype levels instead of constantly running into project beasts, and for another it would get rid of the ridiculous sitting around until the fighter is quad sensational before having him fight.

  42. Working on the bracket for TUM thought this would be a nice addition to the game tott as well. Putting the rank at the time saves from trying to eyeball what it was by using the bar after the fight. Manager at the time is mostly for when guys pick up or drop fighters and you want to know who was at the controls of the fight. http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/4743/1iip.png
