No problem Boble

You are in, my friend (:

I wonder what other countries will be taken off the bat now

You're all in now

Im waiting for more signups before it is determined

I use "sponsor" as a gimmick term. It's really just a creation tourney, however your fighter has to be from the country you selected.

#4! (:

You're all set!

Which country? you're both in now (:

I think it's time we shake up the scene a tiny bit. Hello! I'm Zeke Williams, owner of Honolulu-Hilo MMA, and it's my proud pleasure to announce to you: The First Ever Amateur Olympics! For those that wish to participate, this is how it will work: Your job, as a manager, is to "sponsor" a rising fighter from his country. However, with limited spots in the tourney, and possible double-ups that I don't want, the country list will be pre-determined. A certain date will be decided to "sponsor" your fighter, as this will be a creation tourney. Depending on how much appeal this gets, there will be either 16 or 32 fighters, in groups of 4. Half of the fighters will move onto the double elimination bracket after the round robin group stage. Just to emphasize, each fighter will fight the other fighters in their group twice, and it takes two losses in the elimination bracket to be eliminated all together. Probably one of the more controversial points, rounds will be separated by one week each. This might irk some, for training and healing purposes, but it's the best way to keep the ball rolling. Alternatively, you can forfeit matches for your fighters if you feel it is necessary. The prize pool size will be determined by the total revenue of all of the cards, plus any donations, and will be split up as shown: 1st: 40% of the prize pool 2nd: 20% of the prize pool 3rd/4th: 10% of the prize pool 5th/16th: splits the remaining 20% of the prize pool 17th/32nd (if needed): nothing Lastly, here are the possible countries you can sponsor from. Once they're taken up by a manager, they're gone for good. The Americas: - Argentina - Brazil - Canada (Ibrahim Camara (118287)) - Colombia - Dominican Republic - Mexico - United States (Brunno Falcone (59400)) - Uruguay Europe: - Austria (James Listerman (89084)) - Belgium - Denmark - Finland - France - Germany - Greece - Ireland - Italy - Netherlands (Daddy Winger (119940)) - Norway - Poland - Spain - Sweden - Ukraine - United Kingdom Asia/Oceania: - Armenia - Australia (Prince Mitchell (116394)) - China - India (Dave Jones (108287)) - Indonesia (Hunter Johnson (124941)) - New Zealand - Philippines - Thailand Sign-Ups and Questions are all available here!

Quick Roster Update: Newcomers - Mitchell Hernandez (185) Edgar Boon (205) Yuiju Wu (265) David Santos (155)

I have a guy for you that got cut because London Fight Factory closed. He was in a lower weight class but I’m willing for him to fight in the 155 weight class Nils Wasa (335203) - http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilemanager.php?FID=335203

UPDATE: With more talent constantly rolling in, I'm confirming right here and now that the previous seeding is NO LONGER CONFIRMED. As well as this, the fight list for 205 lbs will be completely overhauled, as Seed 4 (Abdul Gazimov) and his manager (Filip Kral) have gone quiet, forcing me to release him. Seed 3 (Hirokai Hidaka) has also retired from fighting after he could not find a new manager, meaning he is now released as well. A full list of changes to Honolulu-Hilo MMA's roster can be found below, with all exits detailed so far, and with some of the latest talent coming in to prove themselves entering. 155 lbs: Original Fighters that are still Fighting: - Great Tiger - Katsuya Nakamoto - Mirko Filipovic - Benito Massi - Victo Pave - Dallas Winston Newcomers: - Tyronne Spong - John Starman Releases: - Jamie Steenberg (lack of activity from his manager) 170 lbs: A lack of available fighters has forced me to temporarily shut down this division. Releases: - Royce Reyes (closed division) - Carl Carbo (closed division) 185 lbs: Original Fighters: - Avion Lassiter - Tuccio Turturro - Bobby Whittaker - Surly MacConnelly - Iain Waddell - Allan Kurma - John Miller Newcomers: - Joe Tanagul - Rodney Alcala Releases: None 205 lbs: Original Fighters: - Tom Ofenloch - Cameron Watts - Vercingetorix Frenchy Newcomers: - Lopes Garcia Jose Franco Da Lima - Brendan Moker - Jason Transporter Releases: - Hirokai Hidaka (Retired) - Abdul Gazimov (Inactivity) - Carlo Digano (Inactivity) 265 lbs: Original Fighters: - Jack William - Fedor Emilianegro - Jose Canseco - Ged Mahutovir - James Jang - Troy Niklas - Fedor Oumakhanov - Hudson Gabriel Fernandes - Armaedon Kudda Newcomers: - Erik Friedrichson - Veruukt Vamachara Releases: None

And then a quick ending to these predictions! (I dont have enough time to do this :/) Co-Main Event: Victo Pave (1-0-0) vs. Dallas Winston (5-4-0) Prediction: Dallas Winston > Victo Pave Main Event: Tuccio Turturro (12-1-0) vs. Bobby Whittaker (4-4-0) Prediction: Tuccio Turturro > Bobby Whittaker FotN: Mirko Filipovic vs. Great Tiger KO: Fedor Emilianegro Sub: Vercingetorix Frenchy

Main Card: [Croatia] Mirko Filipovic (3-4-0) vs. [india] Great Tiger (2-3-0) Our first main card match sees two veterans of the fight try to reclaim an even record, while further pushing down the other. Who will get the chance do so? Mirko Filipovic would certainly want to, as he has to feel the need to get a win after losing in the trap known as Level 2 QFC. Before this previous debacle, however, he was a fighter for Sydney Fights, where he ended up fighting an even score, starting off strong, but then falling of, with only 1 win in his last 4 matches in the organization. However, with his high stats in Muay Thai and BJJ, he'll want to stay close, whether it be on the ground or standing. Great Tiger falls under a similar category, after one win in CEC Challengers, he went 1-2 in the now defunct Torcida before losing his first ever QFC fight, just like Filipovic. With a similar fight style, emphasis on their close-up game will be key for success. I feel that this will be a very close one, but I think Filipovic's experience will trump what Great Tiger can throw at him. Filipovic gets the nod. Prediction: Mirko Filipovic > Great Tiger, by Submission (Round 3) [united Kingdom] Iain Waddell (1-0-0) vs. [united States] John Miller (3-2-0) Once again, inexperience vs. experience. Let's bring down to the tape. Iain Waddell, on the Eastern side of the Atlantic, is newer, but has shown that he can grind his way to a unanimous decision when he wants to. He's an all around fighter, with no strengths, but the ability to do anything, and sometimes that's the most scary thing to be able to do in a cage, especially against a specialist fighter. However, he's facing someone that's just like him. He goes by Whistle Tits. John Miller, like Waddell, proves that he's a capable fighter, going on a 3 win streak early in his career. However, two losses has now brought him down to where he is today. And after getting the boot from CEC Challengers, he's decided to ditch the Hollywood scene for something more tropical. The sky's the limit for him, because currently he just wants to get off the ground. And get off the ground he will, as I think Miller can settle Waddell, because Waddell's finishing power is, as of yet, unknown. Prediction: John Miller > Iain Waddell, by Submission (Round 2) [Russia] Fedor Oumakhanov (4-2-0) vs. [united States] Jose Canseco (3-4-0) Two more veterans duke it out in our heaviest weight division, let's see what they have to offer. Fedor Oumakhanov was a dominator of the QFC ring, gaining a 4 match win streak. Then he got signed by RISE. He got slaughtered by two seperate fighters based on TKO, getting knocked out twice in less than a minute in for the first round. When he's not getting smashed by other fighters, he can go toe to toe with those in boxing, or he can take it all the way. The big question for him is whether he'll stick with that strategy, or if he'll moreso rely on his wrestling talents. Jose Canseco, however, hasn't gotten the chance to smash lower-tiered fighters, as he has fought with Torcida for his whole career. Going 3-4 in the organization before it collapsed, he by far prefers his excellent boxing capabilities. You should also know that he's named after the Oakland A's outfielder that was known for being a hard hitter, so you know he's the real deal. Jose Canseco can hit, but it isn't certain that he'll be able to survive the ground once he gets there, and Oumakhanov can for sure get him down there, so Oumakhanov gets the nod. Prediction: Fedor Oumakhanov > Jose Canseco, by Unanimous Decision

This looks pretty interesting, good luck

Undercard: [ireland] Surly MacConnelly (2-2-0) vs. [Tonga] Avion Lassiter (1-0-0) For each write-up that I do, I like to analyze these fighter's previous matches and stats to try and come up with an all-out winner. So therefore, it only makes sense to debut and analyze two of my own fighters. The first match-up will be Surly MacConnelly of Ireland, taking on Avion Lassiter of Tonga. This fight exemplifies the theme that seems to have appeared throughtout these match-ups, and that is a more experienced fighter taking on someone who isn't so. It could provide surprises, so let's delve into these guys. Surly MacConnelly, with a mostly even ratio of general statistics, looks to play mostly a far-away stand-up game, as his boxing stat is the highest of the 4, at 7. Unlike later people in his situation as the experienced fighter, all of his fights were from the QFC, and to say they've been mixed would be an understatement. He'll want to keep away from the ground, because his losses to fighters Jimbo Covert and Faustino Porter, were from submission and unanimous decision, respectively. However, his win against Kenneth Maxwell shows that he can handle Muay Thai fighters, and his win against James Lewis shows that he can upset, as stats showed that Lewis was the better boxer. But he's had a 67% win rate past the first round, so I would believe that will be his key to victory. Avion Lassiter, the more inexperienced fighter of the two, shares some similarities with MacConnelly, especially in that this is his first non-QFC fight, that boxing is his best statistic, and that he's won. However, his win didn't turn out how you'd expect, as he out-clinched his opponent, Didi Hamman, a Muay Thai specialist, and put him under submission in the first round. He's grown as a fighter though, so we'll see what he has up his sleeve, as he could truly pull anything out of the bag. Although MacConnelly has the edge when it comes to his favored tactic, he crumbles on the ground, and seeing that Lassiter did it with ease, I'm going to give the win to Avion Lassiter. Prediction: Avion Lassiter > Surly MacConnelly, by Submission (Round 1) [Germany] Tom Ofenloch (0-1-0) vs. [italy] Carlo Digano (0-1-0) The battle of these two fighters will be an interesting one, as both are fighting for their first professional win after debut losses, so this will be a quicker rundown than most, but that doesn't mean they will have a lame brawl. Tom Ofenloch got his debut loss from a now 19-19-0 fighter named Lewis Rampage, by submission in the first round. However, this was on May 12th, 2018, over 3 months ago, and since then he's been training to become an elite Muay Thai fighter with exceptional Wrestling and BJJ. It'll be hard to see him lose on the ground. Carlo Digano, meanwhile, had his debut fight after he was signed onto Honolulu-Hilo MMA, and he got smashed by a way more experienced fighter. However, this fight wasn't for nothing, as Digano showed that he could escape when he wanted to, and that he has more ground game to show. With as much hype as I can give however, Ofenloch just looks overall much more impressionable than Digano, and I couldn't go without giving Ofenloch the nod. Prediction: Tom Ofenloch > Carlo Digano, by TKO (Round 2) [Japan] Katsuya Nakamoto (2-1-0) vs. [united Kingdom] Jamie Steenburg (1-0-0) The next undercard fight shown is another fight with experience vs. inexperience. Both, however, take to the fight a little bit differently. Katsuya Nakamoto prefers a stand-up style of fight, as his boxing statistics tower over his others. Must be why he got a TKO victory in his debut in 9 seconds. While he appears well-versed in winning by knockouts and decisions, his one loss comes from the ground by submission. He'll want to avoid the ground at all costs. Jamie Steenberg, meanwhile, can't box for his life, however, all of his other stats look reasonable, especially his Muay Thai and BJJ skills. His one win, against Floyd Dorsey, looked dominant, but could make people question his finishing power, as two rounds he won 10:8, which is a rare score to see. While both can make it to the end, Steenberg's possible lack of finishing and Nakamoto's raw power make this a more than reasonable nod to Nakamoto. Prediction: Katsuya Nakamoto > Jamie Steenberg, by Unanimous Decision [brazil] Hudson Gabriel Fernandes (3-0-0) vs. [somalia] Fedor Emilianegro (1-0-0) Our first Heavyweight fight is also special like Ofenloch v. Digano, as one of these fighters will get their first professional loss. With a combined 4 wins total, who will get the loss? Hudson Gabriel Fernandes doesn't seem like he'd want to disrupt his 3 fight win streak coming into his first organization fight. Fighting on the ground, he likes to submit opponents or get to the end with a win. However, going to the end might leave a bad taste in Fernandes' mouth, as his last match was a really close win by Majority Decision. Fedor Emilianegro, with only 25% of the wins total, shows extreme prowess in Boxing and Muay Thai, and his only fight wasn't even a QFC win, it was in RISE, where he took down Tony Huge by strikes very early. Even with Fernandes' 3 win streak, Emilianegro shines where Fernandes doesn't, and that should be enough for his 2nd victory. Prediction: Fedor Emilianegro > Hudson Gabriel Fernandes, by KO (Round 3) [France] Vercingetorix Frenchy (5-4-0) vs. [Azerbaijan] Abdul Gazimov (4-9-0) To round out the undercard, we have a couple of veterans, looking to show their trade and win their debut in HonoHi. Vercingetorix Frenchy is a pure all around fighter, that has fought for Sydney Fights, and the now defunct Torcida. His results, however, have been mixed. While he has won both of his QFC fights, he went 1-1 in SFC and 2-3 in Torcida. He also plays a finish or be finished fight, as only one of his fights has gone to decision, which ended in a unanimous loss. What he will go for in his debut for HonoHi, is up in the air, however he likes his TKOs and even submissions sometimes, so it would be hard to imagine another end. Abdul Gazimov's winning record is even more questionable than Frenchy's, as he has less than a 33% win rate, and even then, his opponents that he beat have a combined win-loss ratio of 7-33. All of this in QFC. However, he has shown to be good in the clinch, and prefers to stand up, as all of his wins were by (T)KO. However, it'll be hard to see if he can translate it into his first organization fight. This one shouldn't even be a contest, I can't even pick Gazimov in my dreams unfortunately. The nod goes to Frenchy. Prediction: Vercingetorix Frenchy > Abdul Gazimov, by TKO (Round 1)

Rip Im close to having someone but hes 2 ranks off for a wrestler and one belt off for BJJ

I could for my organization but I would stab myself at the amount of costs it would truly take. (since I dont have bucketloads of money)

Show 1 Today is a beautiful day in Hilo, very calm, and very serene. However, 8 days from now, on August 31st, sounds of victory and defeat will indeed ring the air as we get set for the first ever Honolulu-Hilo MMA brawls to take place in Hayashi's Lounge, where up to 2000 will get the chance to spectate this event. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, then I'd like to welcome you to.... HonoHi 1: Origins! 18 of the first contracted fighters will ALL be making their debut performance to try and woo the audience, as well as possibly set themselves up in a better position when the tournament rolls around. But enough gawking over who could be fighting, let's take a look at the match-ups right now! Undercard [ireland] Surly MacConnelly (2-2-0) vs. [Tonga] Avion Lassiter (1-0-0) [Germany] Tom Ofenloch (0-1-0) vs. [italy] Carlo Digano (0-1-0) [Japan] Katsuya Nakamoto (2-1-0) vs. [united Kingdom] Jamie Steenburg (1-0-0) [brazil] Hudson Gabriel Fernandes (3-0-0) vs. [somalia] Fedor Emilianegro (1-0-0) [France] Vercingetorix Frenchy (5-4-0) vs. [Azerbaijan] Abdul Gazimov (4-9-0) Main Card [Croatia] Mirko Filipovic (3-4-0) vs. [india] Great Tiger (2-3-0) [united Kingdom] Iain Waddell (1-0-0) vs. [united States] John Miller (3-2-0) [Russia] Fedor Oumakhanov (4-2-0) vs. [united States] Jose Canseco (3-4-0) Co-Main Event [Kosovo] Victo Pave (1-0-0) vs. [united States] Dallas Winston (5-4-0) Main Event [italy] Tuccio Turturro (12-1-0) vs. [Australia] Bobby Whittaker (4-4-0) With such a diverse cast of fighters from around the world, comes great uncertainty.

http://jamesb.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/rainbow-falls-long-james-brandon-copy1.jpg (Rainbow Falls, Hilo) Welcome to Honolulu-Hilo MMA (HonoHi) The newest fight organization located in the beautiful state of Hawaii. Run by myself (Zeke Williams (125288)), as well as Raichu Kong (117362), this organization will strive to be one of the best entertainers of ID restricted martial arts combat.

(Also PM me with any questions or concerns if need be) Expect more news in the near future.

For me, I would have the flag shown wherever the base flag is currently shown, such as the Search results or the Free Agents list. Not really anywhere where it isn’t shown because I don’t think it would do anything. But it’s definitely not a big change, or an impactful one, but I like the somewhat in the ballpark realism that this game can offer, and if that were a direction of this site then I think that the small changes would be a good start. Even if t is just aesthetic

To me this would be an aesthetic change, but I feel that for many of the fighters in the game, their country is part of their identity, and the only people I see with their national flag are the ones on the leaderboard. At the very minimum I think they should show both, but Im wondering who agrees with me?
