Concept Belt Design

OP updated.

For a while now, I felt like a new change was needed. I've been running orgs for about a year now, always under someone else's creation. So after some thought and consultation, I'm proud to announce that Pride's xmas show will be the last event under that banner. This clears the way for a Jan 1st rebrand. Same Management and style you guys have grown to fight for and trust, with a face lift.New Logos New Belts and most importantly a new name! Beginning with our January 1st slate of events we will rebrand and be known as The Inferno Combat Series. Our upcoming best on best King of the Mountain tournament will now truly act as a memorial to the naming and paint scheme of old. Welcome to the 9th Circle. See you in the Cage!

Can the Fighter of the Year finish strong? find out this Wednesday!

Power Shark (Rick Piano) and Jax Stark (Corban Storm) have shown interest privately as well. Putting us at 9 interested managers. 8 + 1 alternate. Not sure if 16 looks realistic or not but I will certainly increase incentives and payouts if we get there. 3 weeks till signup cutoff.

Hell of a debut Rei! Congrats!

Updated OP with a current participant list as well as announce an official tournament start date of: Wednesday January 8th 2020! 2 of the 4 planned first round fights will take place in London. The 2nd 2 same day in LA.

http://mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=86968 from my first run.... publicly trained, built poorly and finished 18-7-1 and was at one point just outside the top 100 in the golden era of 2010-2011.

Sending out the call for some more sponsors in all areas.

I happen to know thats a quality brand.

Shaping up to be a strong group. Exciting stuff.

Get him to 185 and he’s welcome to have a crack at the group.

Proud to announce Condemned on board as a tournament sponsor! Billy TJ Action REI Who will be next?

Excellent. Half full perhaps?

Well the forum is certainly more active this weekend? not sure this is what the community had in mind though.

BillyA and Rei confirmed for tournament participation .

Thamks billy hopefully we can get some traction on it.

Pride Memorial King of the Mountain Tournament Seeing as I haven’t had time to do any podcasting, I have been thinking and I am strongly considering a rebrand of Pride in January. Same structure and style org but with my own logo and belt scheme and such. Along with that thought process, I feel the best way to memorialize the Pride Naming scheme is to conduct a best on best grand tournament. I have reached out privately prior to posting this to several orgs and all framework is tentative at this stage. Rules: 8 or 16 Man 185+ Open ID Tourney (depending on interest and participation) Round of 16 and/or Round of 8 3 x 5 minutes Final 4 and Finals 5 x 5 Minimum weight: 185 LBS and up Open to all eligible fighters and Orgs Orgs have the right to decline participation or choose fighters themselves for selection (with manager approval to participate). See Org List below. Alternate Slots may be required in case of manager inactivity Minimum 300 P4P or better required on date of entry (best on best tournament, The highest 8 ranked participants will be chosen to begin) All Contracts will be 4 fights 1/1/1 265+ All participating non-Pride fighters will be released after 1 tournament loss 3 week period between rounds Planned Start Date 8th January 2020 Signup Deadline December 22nd 2019 (participating fighters must be available for loan by this date) Prizes (MINIMUM VALUE) 1st Prize: 1.5 million direct manager transfer + 750k to the winning fighters org + TBD Sponsor Swag 2nd prize: 750k + 300k + Swag 25k fight bonuses for quickest finish each round Values above assume a 3 round 8 fighter setup, the more fighter participation and Company sponsorship we receive, the bigger the planned payouts at all levels. Participating Orgs Pride Empyrean CEC Syn (tentatively) Both GAMMA and Pulse were consulted and politely declined tournament participation for their fighters. Participating Managers BillyA (likely Akoni Gray) Camara (Chris Steve) Rei (Benson Whyte) TJMitchell (Likely Luc Gagnon) Action Jackson (Latrobe Arundel) Power Shark (Rick Piano) Jax Stark (Corban Storm) Louie Depalma (Latka Gravas) Alternates? Current Tournament Sponsors Dark Knight Nutrition Condemned My Balls is Hot

I'll gladly nominate the man above me. Action Jackson.
