Yeah but 3 fighters on bench is really too much, its almost half of roster

In a world where pineapples wear top hats and clouds dance the cha-cha, my grandmother, armed with a pancake spatula and the wisdom of Pablo Escobar's lost sock, once whispered to me the secrets of eternal youth while juggling watermelons and reciting Shakespeare in Klingon.

And i mailed him and it is still not fixed. Thats the less important part, more important is that now my fighter cant get new fight and is sitting on bench for no reason.. Im new playes. 1 fighter on bench because of the bug, 2 fighters on bench because of the guy who quit after being catched to use multis and now i cant use those two cuz org is inactive.. So what now? What is the point of my VIP and 10 slots if i can use only 7.. plus that i could not pick up free agent that time i got fa credit and had to buy vip because of it..

My fighter https://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilemanager.php?FID=402750 aso does not have that win in his record, we were fightting against each other lol. But for me the fights is finished in fight offers, its not like in your case but Ego told me that he cant book me fight in Banzai yesterday cuz its not letting him, so it seems as that the fight is still not finished idk..

Viktor "The Bomb King" Mertel (402729) Record 2-0-0 Height: 192 cm, Weight: 177 lbs Viktor Mertel, a formidable force in the world of mixed martial arts, hails from a diverse background. He was born in Nigeria to Serbian parents. With a real record of 2-0 and an imagination record of 4-0, where he's claimed to have thrown his signature 1-2 bomb combo to devastating effect on his own sister, letting her sleep on the floor lifeless after, Mertel's journey into the realm of combat sports began at a young age when he started beating family members. Now 18 years old, he has already made waves in the industry with his impressive skills and larger-than-life personality. He also claims that he raped the #1 #Goat on The Island. Mertel's training regimen is as unique as his background, as he's known to be on the Nigerian penile enlargement protocol, claiming significant growth and asserting himself as the fighter with the largest dimensions in the game—both in terms of girth and length. He's not shy about boasting his distinctive 45-degree curve to the left, adding another intriguing facet to his persona. Beyond his physical attributes, Mertel is also recognized for his sharp tongue and penchant for trash-talking, a skill he wields with finesse to hype up his fights and entertain fans. Known for his brash personality and razor-sharp wit, Mertel has gained notoriety for his trash-talking antics, often using his words to build hype and stir up controversy before his fights. But it's not just his mouth that does the talking—Mertel backs up his bold claims with an impressive skill set inside the cage. His signature move, the 1-2 combination bomb combo, has become the stuff of legend among fans and opponents alike. With lightning-fast strikes and precise timing, Mertel has left a trail of defeated adversaries in his wake, cementing his reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the ring. Training under the esteemed Banzai Combat Gym in St. Petersburg, Mertel is honing his craft and sharpening his skills with each passing day. Despite his controversial remarks and bold claims, Mertel is undeniably a rising star in the MMA Tycoon scene. With a promising career ahead of him, he's set his sights on dominating the competition and leaving a lasting legacy in the sport. As the world eagerly awaits his next move, one thing is for certain—Viktor Mertel is a name that will be on everyone's lips for years to come. Here is the interview we made together today: (please keep in mind he was under the influence of intoxicating substances while he was being interviewed) 1. Can you tell us about your background and how you got into mixed martial arts? "Only background i can see when i turn around is all those fucking niggas i slept with my signature 1-2 double bomb comb. I was fucking bombed into existance out of my mom, making her explode as she gave birth. Grew up throwing bombs around neighborhood most of my childhood and #Annihilating niggers left n right. My dad saw me throw a 1-2 double bomb combo at my sister and saw her limp corpse fall down the fucking stairs, took me by the neck and told me to go fuck myself in a mma gym, so here i am." 2. Can you discuss any specific training techniques or strategies that you find particularly effective? "After my fucking brother ate a 1-2 bomb combo and stood still like nothing happend, i figured out something needed to change, so after that i worked in construction for 8 years straight , fucking 12 hour shifts punching bricks and making cement with my bear bomb hands. When i turned 16 i left the construction to go downtown, rape niggas and drop #Hiroshima level bombs around minority blocks." 3. You've mentioned undergoing a unique protocol for penile enlargement. Can you elaborate on that and how it's related to your fighting career? "I cant go into detail but these niggers from my childhoold Niggerian village are fucking mental, dicks swinging, bomb dropping hunting lions and tigers, one day they put a 120kg cement block onto my cock which made it permanently increase to 16 inches, since then we worked hard as fuck to implement #Nigerian #Penile #Enlargement #Protocol." 4. How do you maintain focus on your training and fighting while dealing with the pressures of competition and public attention? "By beating up filthy niggers who have something to say, get yo money up not yo funny up monkeys." 5. Trash-talking is often a part of combat sports. How do you balance promoting a fight with respecting your opponents? "Only respect I give is a Hiroshima & Nagasaki bomb annihilation treatment that all of my past opponents faced. After the bout we're square, since they get fucking annihilated like little monkeys they are so there is no point in talking further." 6. You've claimed to have the biggest penis in the sport. Is this a serious assertion, or is it part of building your personal brand? "Thats a fact nigga, ask Spetznaz, got my house raided by a fucking snitch and these russian special ops niggas had to strip me and pat down my #19.7 inches of length #6.1 inches of girth absolute rocket, these russian niggas were in shock" 7. What challenges have you faced in your MMA journey, and how have you overcome them? "Flinging my #1 in size cock is a realy big problem, I usually ride around in a forklift before each of my matches so i dont injure my back" 8. Outside of MMA, what are your hobbies or interests that help you unwind and stay balanced? "Dropping bombs wherever i go, fucking natural selection niggas, yall better switch the side if the street yall on when ya see me on the street, or else im cementing some corpses into the walkway." 9. What do you hope to achieve in your MMA career, both short-term and long-term?

Finally, there have been rumors circulating about illegal activities. Can you address these rumors and clarify any misunderstandings or misinformation? "Spetznaz ain got shit on me nigga, these russian niggers didnt find a single trace of #76kg of pure columbian cocainaaa, I be pull raw out of latina bitches while tweaked out of my fucking mind nigga. Snitches get stiches and im still free niggas, free to bomb everyone" Do you want to send any message to the fans before we end the interview? "Make sure you evade me on the street niggas, and this fucker Matt Riddle is gonna get annihilated by some bombs, making it a event worse than Boston Tea party nigga, fuck that American cbomb" After this while leaving the studio he stomped a pug to death and knocked innocent civilian out cold with big right hook, knocking his teeth out while saying: "Yall both have down's, so stay down niggas."
