So Chuck isn't only a (former) alliance mate to me, but I also co-owned CWC with him. I'm very careful to consider people on the internet "friends" so I wouldn't consider Chuck a "friend" per se, but he was definitely someone I appreciated having the opportunity to work with and he's been incredibly supportive of me as well. So in terms of Chuck, he's cheated and he's done considerable harm to the game's economy. I hate having to admit that, but it's true. In the KBW discord Chuck even admitted to his wrongdoings himself and apogized to us. I don't care what people's opinion of Chuck is, I'm not here to defend his mistakes, but I really do hope he comes back. And I think anyone who wants him outright banned is being overzealous and going to far. As for the stuff with Kishion. I haven't had any prominent experience with him for better of worse. Pretty sure he's had guys in CWC that I've booked and I used to have guys in Alpha 1. No drama, no complaints in either of those scenarios. I think I have a relatively unbiased view when it comes to Kishion, but of course, I have picked up whatever biases I've seen reading through these threads. I don't know what his motivations were, I don't know what his mindset was, and I don't know what his thought process was when turning in all this evidence against Chuck, and none of the rest of us do. We can only infer his motivations. That said, in this situation I think his intentions are irrelevant. Chuck had an created an unfair advantage for himself and a competitor sought to alleviate that unfair scenario. He didn't do anything wrong turning Chuck in and if his story about the money Chuck sent him is true then we're just splitting hairs at this point by arguing over what he did with it. If he's lying, which is possible but I haven't seen evidence that he is, then that's a different can of worms. Someone who does deserve criticism in this scenario imo is Mike. He communicated with Chuck poorly through all of this and now he's basically letting Kishion become the face of this scandal. I suppose it is probably healthy to let people get all these thoughts out. But when one of the most prominent members of the community has this level of scandal happen, he should provide some level of explanation himself. Instead, we have the whistle-blower having to explain and defend his actions for everyone to critique. I'm not going to defend either Chuck nor Kishion, but I do think the position Kishion is in isn't fair to him, regardless of his motivations for snitching/whistleblowing/whatever you want to call it. I'll end this on something I do think is important. To Kishion, one thing I will say from one clinically depressed person to another: nothing good will come of using your depression/anxiety as a shield from criticism. It's a form of self inhibition. If you're at a point where you're feeling overwhelmed, but worried you're looking like you're avoiding the conversation, just explain that you're not in a mental state where you feel like talking about it. I'll have your back on this one. And to people criticizing Kishion: I'm not going to weigh in on the merits of the criticis, but if he's going through a lot in his personal life right, don't dismiss his mental well being on the basis of him doing something you disagree with. That shit needs to stop.

So Chuck gets outed for cheating and Kishion is the issue? ...ok

Stop snitching Chuck's funded more gyms in tycoon than guv'ment has funded abortions in downtrodden communities he's mmatycoon's Escobar mmatycoon's El Chapo mmatycoon's Calvin Ayre long live the dirty money.

good to hear. My point was it seems that Mike has known about this for quite some time and done nothing until very recently. Seems his lack of interest hurt the game here (seems like). I mean supposedly he closed the loophole in March yet here we are in october?? and on a different point it does seem if Chuck hadnt restarted CFC in competition with SYN nothing would have been said or happened. so maybe Syn ownership was happy to take the green until he realised he was getting screwed with CFC starting up again and only then spilled the beans(maybe?) Im not busting the syn owners balls , if you get screwed over you fight back. Chuck cheated and is paying the price and as much as I like the guy, he dug the hole for himself. But, Mike isnt taking care of business if he waits from March until October when the syn owner rightfully spits the dummy numerous posters here from all different alliances have said they raised it with Mike in the past and if the money numbers I have recently heard were 'glitched' are true then Mike is totally asleep at the wheel or just doesnt give a single fuck about MMAT at all as the amount is mind blowingly huge and this isnt the only issue being whispered about away from the forums

Did you know that it's possible he didn't give back all the money instantly? Nobody really knows but he didn't answer it well enough. Really makes ya think huh?

So instead of going over the same shit over and over here is a timeline on what happened with syn and chuck since everyone keeps asking me. Chuck gave me syn sometime around May. I like many other were niave to how those big orgs were working. In ALPHA-1 my org would clear over 1M in Profit after events and I have half the PPV sales of syn. I thought SYN was as everyone says "a money printer". Chuck told me he made some bad contracts (lol) and he was gonna give me syn and a 50 million dollar buffer. I thought nothing of it. Then I got the org and thats when shit was suuuuper sus. Guys were getting contracts for 500k/70k/70k and there were ranked 1800p4p. Horrible deals and just an insanely high payroll that made no sense. I started looking into syns old events. He had like an 8 show period losing MILLIONS of dollars. One of them being supernova where he lost I think about 15 million. Now I'm not understanding where any of this money could be coming from since at the time I was buying all the top offers on VIP Exchange. There was no way he would be also buying from the exchange and have enough. So at this point you add those factors with the fact that @barneyhad just recently explained to me his whole debacle with BRMMA and how they glitches and he snitched it I finally put 2 and 2 together. I at first wanted to get rid of the money. I dumped a bunch into ads (which before anyone says I did to pump syns rating no, I stay #1 and get event ratings of 900+ with my 1.5 million dollar Ads. Padding 15 million in ads does NOTHING) That dump got rid of 17 million but there was more left. So I dropped the rest I'm my old clothing company and closed it. My entire financial situation in the game was posted for everyone to see in this thread Anyway to continue Things got crazier when I was sending out sponsorships. My sponsorship was declined by Carlos who said that Chuck would usually give him 500k per sponsorship... This makes 0 sense. A clothing company has 3.5k stock a month and that makes them 1.05 million.... You could only sponsor 2 guys a month at that rate. Then comes the test PPVs. CwC runs some test PPV's they have all of 3 fights on it and like a 600k payroll. https://mmatycoon.com/orgeventpublic.php?EvID=952166 At this point I'm looking more and more into chuck to compile evidence cause I find the whole thing to be bullshit and thought an investigation should be done. I start searching the forums to see if its been talked about. Thats when I come across this thread. @TJMitchellhad exposed chuck for blatant multi abuse. At that point between that and the syn soft cheating scandal which chuck admitted to being apart of YEARS ago I knew he wasn't above cheating to get ahead of everyone. Last piece of evidence was the retarded contracts he sent for CFC. Completely new org starting guys at 600 p4p getting 650k/50k/50k? Does this make any sense? So I took screen caps of everything I could and provided links for everything I could and emailed it to Mike. Mike investigated, found out he was cheating, and deleted him. People have asked does mike know about the money he gave me? Yes he does. Chuck gave me 50 million. I sent mike the exact screenshot of him saying he would and told mike "50 million for a buffer". This is in the emails to mike. So how did I have any money left? Well I bought TONS Of VIP and sold.it on the exchange... I know right likely excuse... Except I have proof. You will see screenshots of countless purchases of VIP dating back to my return to this game in the spring. Down below will be a Dropbox link. It will contain screenshots of the emails I sent to mike (look at the email it was sent to and look at the date, no fuckery here) I emailed Mike A event manager link to every event losing millions (so no way it could be photoshopped if its direct link) I would post those links here directly but you have no access. If later you guys want a dropbox with screenshots of all events losing money lmk. I sent him a link the forum post exposing his multi use I sent the screenshot disclosing how much I received in the exact figure And I sent him screenshots of the CFC contracts that were so wild people were sending screen pas of them around when they got em. Literally got all of them like 4th hand cause everyone was sharing it around. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nnkmjc9pudplmf6/AAD7annTzkQILwS1NmNHAqtqa?dl=0 This man was glitching MILLIONS if not BILLIONS into the game and it completely ruined the economy. Its also stealing. The money has VIP value which has real life money value. When guys like me and @goodtymes31and @AlexManiatakosHAVE to buy money off the VIP exchange with our hard earned cash just to keep running our orgs at the top level while another guy just steals it is bullshit. You're stealing from everyone when you do that shit. TL;DR I exposed chuck for cheating now the guys formerly known as Naughtly crew are calling me a snitch and saying all this other fucked up shit to me because one of there buddies money got deleted as well... Somebody I never named lol. I literally sent a screenshot to Alfred for proof. I also offered to give them money out of my own pocket. Literally going out of there way to private message me insulting me... Over a fucking game... Which I didnt want to deal with cheating in... When I spend my hard earned money on. Never in the history of this game have we had a problem exposing cheaters. You see in that multi exposed thread. 25 upvotes to 2. Why the fuck am I being shit on now for it? Seems more personal than anything.

Post it all now I reckon - I’m sure everyone would be interested to find out. Only negative is that some managers may create fighters to counter builds from other managers in their groups

Exactly this. If one guy is single handedly breaking the game's economy by glitching in so much money it's risking rolling a 32 bit integer, then that should be addressed ASAP. And then, when it is finally addressed months, if not years, after it becomes a problem. The devs/PR (in this case Mike) need to address the player base so it doesn't become a drama filled shitshow with everyone interrogating each other.

ITT: grown men throwing hissy fits over a game and calling each other 'snitches' like 12-year-olds.

Kishion, keep my name out of this. I cut ties for this very reason. I don't want anything to do with it. As far as I am concerned, I did my part for getting rid of the glitch months back and was satisfied with the fact that it didn't exist anymore. As for the alliance turning on you for snitching, that is not correct. They turned on you because you managed to piss off literally every single person in the chat on separate individually occasions. I'm not going to get into specifics on that but the final collective takeaway is that you are annoying, manipulative, disingenuous and cannot be trusted. For myself, you drop my name about a screenshot of a conversation you had with Mike to validate your position when it in fact shows me that you outright lied to me. Mike was told about everything months ago when he was finally prompted to fix the glitch. Even before this, he was told numerous times about the glitches existence years ago and did nothing about it (according to Doc who told us about the glitch in the first place. Dating back to the brazil alliance in the earlier days) Mike could have sorted this all out then but chose not to. He cannot say he wasn't given names of potential glitches either. Part of this rests on his shoulders. You don't know shit and you are talking shit. You probably should keep your opinions to yourself as you're just making stuff up. I thought you were smarter than to speak on things you know nothing about but, as always, will just assume you are trolling. For those that don't understand this though, Gwad mentions having a private mod doing dirty work when his alliance themselves have one too.

Damn schedule is quite hard to do. Thought I'd nailed it and then realize some guys are like 5 days between fights haha. Time to revise my strategy. EDIT: Made it much easier for myself. Every fighter will have 14 days between fights. That way, no matter what happens, we're protected against injuries and cuts. This does mean the tournament will run into the new year, but with a 32man tournament and 7 "rounds", that's to be expected. Looks good. I'll get some graphics made up. @TycoonHecasking me to make a video of the draw. The bastard doesn't even know about my history with video making on MMATyc either haha,

THE CREATION DATE IS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13TH THE FINALISATION DATE IS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27TH You can create any amount of fighters you want, but the shorthand rule is "Your final character must be 25 years old, can fight at Bantamweight and be created on or after the creation date". You can make 10 fighters or 1 fighter, but on the finalisation date, you will tell me who you choose to compete in the tournament with. You can test your fighter(s) with fights, you can put him into training, you can give him IQ tests. Anything you want. Those 2 weeks are completely free for you to do what you want to make sure you have the best man for the job. Reserves also must go with these rules. If doesn't matter if you create your fighter on the creation date or not, as long as they are created on or after October 13th and are ready to be finalised by October 28th, that's fine. I'll send out a mail message to everyone before the creation date is due. You've got half a week to get your affairs in order because from October 13th onwards, it's war!

Let me preface what I really want to say with this: Chuck is my buddy and former alliance mate, but wrong is wrong and Chuck was 100 percent wrong here. I'm not ashamed to admit that I hope Chuck returns to the game. Mike did what he had to do and it was the right thing. Now, that that's out of the way... Imo, you are no saint. That is the reason you are being "shit on now for it". Everything you've typed here screams damage control. I'm really not interested into getting into another drawn out discussion with you. One where you play hide and seek with the facts, deflect and outright not answer whatever questions you don't feel like answering. Not to mention, you manage to bring up even more questions about your own honesty everytime you post. This post included. I asked you one question in particular that you refused to answer. And THAT question and the fact that you keep not answering it tells me enough about you to know you are just trying to scoop buckets of water out of your ship here. So, since you posted here, I will ask you again here: why did you spend cash you knew was glitched and then tell Mike about it after the fact? You "throwing it away by dumping it into Synchronicity's advertising" and you "dropping the rest of it into a clothing store" and then closing the store sounds shady as fuck. What do you think happens to money you have left over in a business once you close it? ? I tried to make sense of it all, but you don't look clean here. I mean you're not Chuck dirty, but you ain't squeaky clean either.

This isn't a rivalry. It's a kid trying to arm wrestle his Dad. Congrats to Murtaz.....for the 4th time.

I say post everything now. I can't wait to find out who'll be my opening meal

Only before the tournament starts. If someone rage sacks after their first tournament fight, I'm just going to put each fight they were meant to have down as a forfeit. But until the first event, if someone goes MIA or decides to leave the tournament, a reserve can take their place.

So do reserves just wait for inactivity and rage sacks?

Nice, can’t wait to see what the groups look like

Sonatane Veainu (16-3) (C) Vs Murtaz Vatsadze (14-5) By Colin Morrison The Main Event for Highland 97 is a Rivalry that runs so dee it dates all the way back To Highland 5, You have the defending Light heavyweight Champion hailing from Tonga Sonatane Veainu (16-3) taking on his long time rival The Georgian Murtaz Vatsadze (14-5). Let’s take a trip back to the aforementioned Highland 5 a young Veainu was ready to make his MMA professional debut against a fighter who was 1-0 Murtaz Vatsadze. Veainu was stopped in the first round by way of TKO. Veainu would go on to win 7 straight fights stopping all of the fights none of which made it out of the 2nd round. Vatsadze would go on To lose 2 title fights to a man you all know Torthe Finlayson. But he would win all 4 of his other fights. This leads us to Highland 74 Where Veainu is the hottest fighter in all of Highland winning 7 straight. Vatsadze is looking for his third straight win to get him a third chance at Finlayson. This one would go the distance in a absolute war but Vatsadze defiantly won all 3 rounds and won by unanimous decision. After this Vatsadze went on to yet again lose to Finlayson and in a fight where he looked not with it and disheartened against Biscut Olivia. Meanwhile Veainu went on another 5 fight tear. Then the Island came, it was announced their would be a light heavyweight tournament on the Island. And as fate would have it Veainu And Vatsadze joined. We get to the Quarter final. Veainu Vs Vatsadze 3 Veainu had turned his 5 fight win streak into 7 Vatsadze had picked him self back up and gone a 3 fight win streak of his own. With Finlayson waiting in the semi final for the winner the men went the distance again in another all out brawl but again Vatsadze picked up the decision. Vatsadze again would fall in the semifinals to Finlayson who won the whole thing. After seeing that Vatsadze couldn’t get it done against Finlayson. Highland decided to give Veainu would get a shot at Finlayson’s belt. And at Higland 89 the unthinkable happened Veainu Dropped Finlayson late in round 2 with a huge left hand. Not only did he win the belt he handed Finlayson his first career lost and defeated the man who Vatsadze couldn’t over come. Not only did he beat him he beat him again at Highland 94 when Veainu again stopped Finlayson this time in the first round. And now here we are Highland 97 will Veainu finally be able to overcome the obstacle that’s been towering over him since his first career fight and retain his belt Or will Vatsadze finally capture the Championship that has escaped him for so long and improve to 4-0 over Veainu. Tune it Sunday October 10th to find out.

I think the better question is... Sosa the Sitsongrit Slayer?

Sign me up (if it's not to late)

Admitting to attempting to cheat in the game. Wow! Ban him. I do have actual serious thoughts on this but I'm gonna post them in depth later.

I tried it yesterday and it didn't work

This is the only important thing left here........

Meanwhile I'm here signing dudes to $500/1k/1K. Bumfights bitches we the future.

Shut up mannesnitch!

Cuts and injuries make the tournament interesting

Leave Kishion alone, you fuckwits :). Guy did the community a favor. Not sure why some of you are attacking him for some outside/personal crap. Surely that has nothing to do w/ Chuck cheating for years, right? :). Alfred, I'm aware Lazy Mike knew about this glitch/Chuck abuse months ago(I messaged him about it myself in the past, before he added me to his ignore list LOL). It feels like people are using this as an opportunity to attack Kishion. Fuck, I don't really know him or had any positive/negative experiences w/ him, but this is about Chuck being a cheat and Kishions initiative to get him banned. Leave your personal dislikes to yourselves, or settle it somewhere else, girls.

two weeks is better than one week dont get fukt up : ) Lmao

Injuries and cuts can last up to 16 days my man

Maybe you're not reading everything. I already said I could tell this was a case of people with preexisting enmity (KW and naughty bitches) attacking him over nothing. When I say flimsy accusations, I mean being a snitch is not an egregious offense in my eyes and neither is any of the other bombshells he's accused of.

Back when i told y'all that Chuck was screwing the PPV orgs over ,some of his "friends" defended him and called me bitter and that the free market rules should apply in contracts... I agree that i had no proof that Chuck was poaching fighters but we all know that none of us could compete with his overinflated contract offers... It aint no coincidence that i couldnt convince a SINGLE new fighter to sign with Syn ,just because Chuck would offer twice as much money. I had no other choice back then ,but to sell Syn and be done with this crap. Thank God that my buddies ,The Stepdads,knocked some sense into me and advised me not to bother with trying to compete with Chuck financially... Now we all know where that craploads of money was coming from...

I'll add this post to the first page, but I thought with the world cup group system being agreed upon, I'll explain how that's going to work. There will be 8 groups of 4. Each fighter in the group will fight each other once (3 fights each, 6 in total). The top 2 fighters from their group will go through to the 16 man knockout tournament A win gets 3 points A draw gets 1 point A loss gets 0 points In the event of a tie at the end of the group stage, finishes and duration will be factored in. It's hard to give all the scenarios right now, but a very easy example is if both fighters have a draw, one decision win and a stoppage win, the one who got the fastest stoppage win will be ranked first. The winners from each group will be matched against the runners up from each group to start the 16 man knockout tournament. There will be 14 days between each fight. The fighters will be matched on the existing Highland cards, of which 6 slots are available on each card, so it won't all be run at the same time. The final is currently scheduled for February 6th, with the winner having fought 7 times by the end.

The point is only really biased people who have something against Kishion already would care about it. Now, the biased people, Naughty Boys and Keyboard Warriors, were/are large alliances so yes that's quite a few people. But that doesn't vindicate your irrelevant gotcha questions no matter how many people from these two alliances gang up on Kishion and upvote your posts. You have looked silly since the beginning even though it was nothing but a cacophony against Kishion

It's relevant to the point of this faux outrage you ex naughty boys are spewing. He broke your little gang up, get over it. I was in an alliance with cheaters once too but I disowned it. One of those two was good people too but I digress. You guys are hilarious. You all ganged up on Kishion in the Syn thread for dozens and dozens of posts, all upvoting each other and Butch even called out, with the help of your private Turd Reich mod, someone who dared downvote him. And now you admirably say you don't care if your noble stance makes you look like a heel. Too funny.

Right, since everyone is seemingly putting their opinions forward on this issue, well i have time to spare so i might as well do the same and put my own two cents into this. Now firstly, i am friends with pretty much the entire lot who have been throwing daggers at each other for quite some while now, and honestly i am not gonna pick sides here...Chuck was a friend of mine and we worked together a pretty long time, he is a very good human being, but as we all know by now, what he was doing wasn't right whatsoever, so it had to be punished. Moving on, i know Butch had issues with Kishion prior to all these shananigans and also, i cannot blame him for thinking that kishion was snitching on them since shaun got found out too, but having seen the pictures of the conversations, i don't think kishion meant for shaun to be tangeled into this mess too, but if you guys are pissed about shaun getting found out (i am talking about the former alliance mates of kishion here), well, he did something that he shouldn't have done, so he deserved punishment too although his name wasn't meant to come up...so yeah you can call kishion out for snitching, ofcourse, but shaun was no saint here. Moving onto Dead Disney here, now mate you know i ain't gonna go against you either, but look, the most important question that was asked off kishion, which was how and where was he using the glitch money he got from chuck, has been answered to everyone here, as well as to mike himself by now i would imagine, and mike would have surely investigated if kishion is indeed telling the truth or not here right? So why would you still feel that kishion is hiding glitch money mate? (Send this answer privately please) I wanna know your POV too.

Kishion, we have not crossed paths a single time inside the game, but I want to genuinely commend you for what you did. As a person, I like Chuck. Never had problems w/ him on a personal level. As an MMAT player, he's a twat. He's simply too competitive and will gladly cheat to get ahead. Quite a few of us knew what Chuck has done for years now, we knew he glitched the money in. Obviously he claimed that he bought all of his money on the exchange, but it was very easy to tell it was bullshit, as no one in their right mind would spend thousands, if not tens of thousands of real life dollars on this game. You did what needed to be done but wasn't by any of us: you compiled actual proof that Mike could use to punish Chuck once and for all. Many of us have told Mike that Chuck is cheating, but we didn't do it in an organized manner that you did. Thank you from all of the players who play this game straight up.

To the unbiased observer, all you fruitcakes blasting Kishion for I still don't really understand what look really dumb. When I say I don't understand, I mean I don't think I understand because if his worst infractions are the ones you're accusing him of here it doesn't make any sense. Let's start with the bombshell allegation that Kishion didn't return all the money, which somebody else stole, to Mike immediately. This requires first ignoring the fact that I, and 99% of the rest of the community, would have done the exact same thing if a lump sum of cash was dropped into our pockets. It all reeks of a small group of people who have a personal problem with Kishion seizing an opportunity to settle old scores. But maybe I'm missing something. Maybe you had to be on Chuck or Barney's tip to give a shit about this "snitching", I don't know.

SYN 839 Previews! (c) Yodsawan Sitsongrit vs Marcello Sosa (1) Featherweight Championship Since his September 12th defeat, Sitsongrit (35-13) took a month off to recuperate and get his mind right before defending his featherweight crown. The fighter who once held both the Bantam and Featherweight Titles now only holds one and will be defending it against arguably the most difficult contender he has ever faced in Marcello "Hurricane" Sosa (18-2-1). Sosa, who like Sitsongrit, is a standup fighter with elite level skills. He trains with some of the most dangerous fighters in the world, like that of Kilo Maluga, Mohammed Kahn and Badr Al Din. Sosa is the real deal and is not always focused on getting a knockout as much as he is focused on getting just getting that victory. Fight fans can expect for this fight to go the distance as neither guy has really ever been stopped by any of their previous opponents. Fight Fans of Syn may not be too familiar with Sosa, but prior to his arrival he was considered the champion of HFC for a long time. Now, the champion of SYN recognizes his rivals arrival and looks to derail the hype train in a performance that will captivate the masses. In comparing their recent stats Sitsongrit is the more aggressive of the two often throwing more strikes on average than Sosa and having higher accuracy in doing so. Critics are concerned that Sosa taking on Sitsongrit will leave him like a deer in the headlights under the bright lights of Syn. So we reached out to his training partner Kilo Maluga, the number one fighter in the world and he just scoffed. What I think we can expect is a very aggressive fight with both fighters looking to make an absolute statement. One guy is coming off a depressing loss of losing his title and the other guy is making massive waves entering into the best organization of the world. It will be a showdown of the very best featherweights in the world and you wont want to miss this one. Save it on your PBP now! (c) Wayne Williams vs Obi Wan Kenobi (1) Bantamweight Championship Recently crowned bantamweight champion, Wayne Williams (34-15) looks to make his first Syn title defense this weekend as he takes on a former rival in Obi Wan Kenobi (22-10-4). In their last outing, a split decision was awarded to Wayne Williams and in the post fight presser he appeared to be shocked that he won the fight. This decision has haunted both fighters for a while and fans of both have often expressed why their fighter won the fight. It is with absoulte importance in this five round matchup both Williams and Kenobi can leave no room for doubt. Williams knows how good Kenobi is at avoiding punches to the head as he avoided over 100 of Williams punches. Whereas Kenobi has to know the incredible output of the talented champion and will look to nullify his exertion of strikes. I imagine this matchup we will see a lot more body strikes than in their last one and a slower more accurate fight. My guess is both of these fighters know the other really well to the point that they must feel they have the fight in the bag but obviously someone is going down this weekend. In looking at Williams battling Sitsongrit for the title we saw one of the most dominant performances in recent history and against one of the very best strikers in the world. No one expected Williams to only focus on his boxing but that is exactly what he did. The question we all have to ask is, where does Kenobi see his advantage in this matchup? My guess is we will see a very damage focused Kenobi who will look to actually out strike the champion, a feat that I don't know if any man could really do! 840 Previews! (C) Ispa Mfer vs Jean Claude Marceau (1) Middleweight Championship In the Middleweight Matchup between Mfer and Jean-Claude Marceau what we are really going to see is a knockout artist hell bent on taking the title from a guy he feels he is better and more experienced than. Marceau and Mfer have crossed paths plenty of times before but have never actually met in the cage with one another. Both long time PFC fighters, we are actually seeing Marceau drop in weight for the first time in his career to take on Mfer and hopefully bring the belt home for France. There is some concern I have overheard from the striking coach of Mfer mostly about the idea that Marceau is probably going to hit harder than he has before after cutting that extra weight, so Mfer has been working diligently on not only his striking defense but his boxing sparring. Although Mfer has knocked out a few guys before, he is not primarily known as a knockout artist so we will probably see him look to outpoint the challenger probably focusing on a lot of body shots. Since his arrival in SYN, Marceau has beaten De Silva, Niska and Van Buren. Notable names at the top of the division and apparently the reason he dropped in weight is because he did not want to fight his main sparring partner and friend, Tong Po who is the Light Heavyweight Champion. Ispa Mfer has probably the most dangerous challenge he could have on his very first title defense and I believe all bets will be wild on this one. (3) Dany Crosby vs Samuel Nti (4) Welterweight Matchup In a match that is sure to elevate one guy to a potential title challenger and send another plummeting down the rankings, fight fans will witness former multi-champion, Dany Crosby (38-18-1) take on Samuel Nti (37-14) who has been sending shockwaves throughout the entire division since his arrival into Syn. Nti is undoubtedly one of the most fearsome welterweights there is in the entire division and a win over Crosby could see him in reaching distance of the Championship shot. Despite both of these guys nearing the age of 40 they are still competing as if they were in their late twenties and showing the world what a true martial artist looks like. This matchup will see guys with vicious intent looking to drop the other within the first round, and honestly it is so very likely that that will be the case. Both of these guys are notorious for their first round finishes and make other fighters nervous to engage with them, this is my pick for fight of the night and another potential for fight of the year. With two phenomenal managers behind these guys it is crystal clear to see that the road for these guys will only continue to go up. I had the opportunity to go out and visit Crosby and his team. "Crosby is going to hurt Nti" This one statement from the boxing coach sent chills down my spine. If its true that both fighters have bad intentions going into this one, it will be vital that we have a medical team on standby. (UR) Vadim Golovkin vs Harry McQuirre (UR) Featherweight Matchup Former Syn champion Vadim Golovkin (28-8-1) has been on the rough end of a three fight losing streak. At onetime he was considered the future Pound for Pound number one and now he is not even considered in the top of his own division. Golovkin has certainly hit some hard times and it appears those hard times may very well continue as he looks to take on the fierce "Goose" Harry McQuirre (26-10). Goose, the former SMASH champion, sees this matchup as an opportunity to reelevate his career if he can beat the guy who was once at the top of the division. His knockout striking and ability to take punishment have both been on question as of late as he has been knocked out in what was one of the most dangerous knockouts we have ever seen and has been unable to score those crazy knockouts that we once saw from him. Now you may ask, Hec, why are you previewing this fight you seem so negative? I am just stating facts and honestly, when you have two highly talented fighters who are at the end of their rope or backs against their wall, you will see them perform like nothing they have ever done before. I am imagining both guys will go out looking to outscore and eventually put away their opponents and this for me is what keeps us glued. I think we can all be pretty excited for this one as these two former champions want to be in the limelight once more and this is the perfect matchup for both of them to get on that track, the question is will they create the perfect game plan or will their game plan be figured out. Someone gets a resurgence in their career this weekend and you better believe I will be illegally streaming this one with all my friends! I am joking Kstacks, I always pay for PPV.

No scripts. I could probably create some automation to make it easier but I'm busy enough at work. RIP my write up auto generator haha. I match guys off of a win Vs guys off of a win. None of this Max Holloway or Robert Whittaker shit where you give them all your top contenders even though they aren't going to fight for the title. The whole goal of the matchmaking imo is to build challengers for the title. Hype/pop obviously make a difference, but if all the top guys are off a recently loss and there's someone who's been fighting good guys and 3-0 but with no hype, I'll make that happen. Fresh challengers for title winners makes a big diff. Storytelling does too. A big one for me is Sonatane Veainu who's my LHW champ has lost multiple times to a top fighter Murtaz Vatsadze. Murtaz fought the previous dominant champ FOUR times, and lost every one. Sontatane just beat that champ twice in a row. Now we're in a situation where Murtaz might FINALLY be able to win a title. He's already beat the champ 3 times. He's the massive favourite and he's been so gatekept by the former champ that he couldn't just get his hands on the gold. At the same time, Sonatane is the king now. He's the best. And there's a man walking around with 3 wins over him. The champ has a true story of still managing to be the underdog. A chip on his shoulder with someone claiming to be better than him. Little stories like that are important, especially at the top of the card. Style never comes into it at all. That's for the managers to decide. Sure, Adam Shalashaska Vs Noel Diaz sounds like a fucking banger of a fight, but for the most part I just match deserving guys Vs deserving guys and it's for the managers to decide if that's a worthwhile and good fight for them. My tip? Just get to know the fighters and managers. Olan Johnson is only 4-0, managed by Scott Bandz. But he's fucking HYPED to manage him and loves his time in Highland so far. I know he's got killer knees and has already picked up two bonuses in his two Highland fights. Will he win the title and be a legend? Who knows. But I want to get to know everyone cause the managers will stick with you. Also, don't worry too much about the manager's rep. Sure everyone knows Arcalimon now, but they didn't back in 2014 with Highland Games. I for sure didn't know Taina Valkoinen, Matheus Silveira or Steven Armstrong but now they're as much of a part of Highland as I am. Yeah...I like running an org haha.

Yeah, you can really only speak for yourself and not the other 99% here. What the other 99% might do is sort of irrelevant, imo. For the record, Imo, what Kishion did wasn't snitching. I really don't give one-fifth of a fuck if he was settling old scores or not. But ignoring the context behind how he went about reporting to Mike seems like true dick riding to me. Edit: And btw, I never said anything about where all the money ended up or whether or not it was all returned. There is no way I could possibly know how that was rectified by Mike, or if it ever was.

Fuck what you think, Gwad ?
