Tonight on MMA Hype, Jared Asante and Brett Clarke have the latest news regarding tycoon’s latest scandal. The tycoon universe has been known for a place where PEDs or basically any illegal drugs have been non-existent and banned from any available market. For the past few months now, we’ve seen fighters start their careers with abnormal physicals, power and toughness for their age, which of course, started some debate around the community. We’ve also been noticing some, very rare, chirurgical procedures that would improve a fighter’s chin, to make him tougher and more durable in a fight. Here’s Jared and Brett with more details about the whole scandal. -- -- -- Jared Asante: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of MMA Hype. We’re taking the time today to enlighten people about tycoon’s recent scandal, since we know that everyone is eager for some details on this. Tycoon has always been a drug-free universe, where fair fights and legitimacy is the most important thing ever. We’ve seen a lot of rigged fights, can crushing, the typical stuff that will always be around and that will always piss people off, but this right here is on another level. I’ll let Brett throw out some details. Brett Clarke: Thanks Jared. March 2016, Adam Johnson made his MMA debut as a guy with a decent chin, some said it was a “Good chin”. Nothing else is known about the fighter, other than his manager is one of the worst in the tycoon universe. Fast forward to April 2016, just a month after his MMA debut, he switched to KT, changes his looks, and is now a guy with a “Granite chin”, which can only be altered by having a specific chirurgical and illegal facial/brain improvement. This, of course, started a lot of speculations, and experts started to dig more into that, but to no avail. Weirdly enough, talks regarding that specific issue died down, and it’s only a couple weeks ago that it all blew up, and everything started to make sense. August 17, Nash Dotson enters the tycoon universe and enrolls in the tournament “Alliance Wars”. Again, just a nobody with a piece of shit as a manager, same as Adam Johnson, so of course, people are a little skeptical. Fast forward to September 14, round 1 of the tournament, Nash shows up at the fight as the most flexible fighter in tycoon history, with only 4 weeks of training, and all that, at the Cozad MMA London gym. With this information, it was enough to start an investigation on tycoon manager Aaron ThaiGuy, previously known as the worst manager in history, but at the time, was ranked #2, which people didn’t really understand. After further investigation, it became clear that all of Aaron’s roster was on some kind of illegal substance, and most likely were somehow, altered to be the best fighters ever. Ironically, being a shitty manager, those fighters were only half decent. The investigation showed that Aaron’s whole roster were not set to train, since they didn’t have any coaches session. Very sketchy right? Jared: Well, yeah, extremely sketchy, no doubt about it, but why is he only ranked #2, if all his fighters are cheating? Brett: This is where it gets interesting. Who’s the #1 manager? Unbeatable Mr Wolf. What’s special about Mr Wolf? He’s a good guy. No one even questions his skills, because he’s 24/7 on the game, he reads everything, he joins all tournaments, he’s just fucking everywhere! But still, what makes Mr Wolf so good, and why can’t a cheating manager take his #1 spot? He’s deeper than Aaron ThaiGuy in that cheating system. Jared: …. Brett: I know, I was also speechless when I first heard about it, but once you’ve got good info, it all adds up, and it all makes sense. The whole roster of Mr Wolf. What do they all have in common? Bunch of “Heavy Handed” pricks who have “Granite chins”. Thing is, it’s not impossible to have such a roster, but you have to train a ton of fighters, meaning you have to hire and release on a regular basis. Looking into Mr Wolf’s history, he started doing that hire/release process right around the same time that Aaron’s roster started to look like Winter Soldiers. Funny enough, there’s a similar pattern to Wolf’s roster. He too has a gym, but he has coaches sessions. But, those coaches are paid even though most their sessions are empty. This means that out of 26 fighters on Wolf’s roster, very few of those are actually set to train. This means they don’t require training, since they are already way too skilled for their opponents. I could go on all day really, but I’ll this right here, I’ve spent enough time looking at fight videos, it sickens me to know that such a humble manager could do such a thing. Jared: So what happens now? Brett: The Tycoon commissioner Mike Tycoon took care of business and explained everything to the community. Both managers are expelled from Tycoon, and all the fighters are immediately banned and will not be able to fight ever again. There’s no exceptions, all fighters that were under Aaron and Wolf’s banners are gone. What sucks about all of this is, those managers had elite fighters, of course, and were part of tournaments. The Olympics were about to begin and I think 6 fighters that were suppose to participate are part of that scandal, so it pretty much ruins some plans. Anyways, that’s all I’m throwing for now, I’m disgusted by all this. Jared: Alright guys, that’s all the time we have for today, hope you enjoy your popcorns while posts are flying around. Have a good one!

You fight him as if nothing ever happened. You win that fight since his hiddens should be set to 1, and you move to next round. Just fight him and make your LFC boss proud

this, Mike did work hard in all this, and I already bought a year of VIP to throw $30 his way. its the least I can do for my contribution, game has always been great and Mike works hard to keep it balanced and clean. Keep it up!

Been looking at their past fights (mostly wolf, cause Aaron isnt worth checking out, he sucked even with that cheat), and its pretty obvious now that we know about it. I mean, look at all the wins. Quick KOs, and complete dominations, most of the fights the opponent didnt even win a round. From what I'm gathering, if someone else is cheating, we would easily catch on, especially that we're aware now. You can't join a creation tourney and KO a solid chin under a minute, wolf seemed to be good at that.

This is gold.

hmm.. no wonder wolf's fighters were all powerful with granite chins... I hate myself for thinking he was just lucky. as for Aaron, cant believe no one caught this earlier, hes the shittiest manager ive known in this game and hes been #2 for quite a while... like thats believable

The Junior Masters of MMA’s second round is coming fast, and it’s this Saturday that we’ll see 4 fighters heading to the semi-finals. You can place your bets for those fights right here. Here’s Jared and Brett. -- -- -- Jared Asante: Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Doesn’t this place look familiar? That’s right, we’re at Sully’s Bar & Grill, and we’re pretty much half drunk by now, man that’s some strong homebrew he’s got here. Brett Clarke: Speak for yourself, I’ve loving this brew and I can take more than you do Jared. Not gonna start a fight with you, but you do look kinda weak holding that beer. Anyways, not important, we’re here to talk about the 8 fighters that are left in the Junior Masters of MMA tournament. Round 2 is Saturday night, and here’s the current matchups: Alaric Ysengrin vs Charles Snowden Brian Jacks vs Pete L. Juice Redser McCarthy vs Dennis Sideman Antonio Johnson vs Vincze Adrian Brett: These 8 middleweights will battle for a spot in the semi-finals that will be held December 10, at Hyashi’s Lounge in Los Angeles. Who will come out on top? Let’s analyze these matchups. Alaric Ysengrin vs Charles Snowden Brett: In this matchup, we get a member of the powerful Ysengrin clan in action. Alaric Ysengrin is already the favorite to win the tournament, especially after his dominant performance in round 1, where he KOed the durable Elliott Alderson in just under a minute. By being an early favorite, Ysengrin has the hype exactly where he wants it, and that’s exactly where he excels. He likes the pressure and he uses it at his advantage, making him an even more dangerous opponent. Being an excellent striker has its advantages, but will he be able to prevent and defend the ground game of Charles Snowden? That’s what we want to see, cause we know it’s a tough matchup for him. Snowden has also dominated his opponent in the first round of the tournament, as much in the standup than on the ground. While he’s coming in with a great wrestling background, don’t expect him to be scared to throw punches from distance. He will most likely be looking for a takedown, but he knows how to mix strikes in order to get it. Mix it up, and you’ll get better results. Jared: You know what? Maybe it’s the alcohol talking, but I may put money on Snowden. I’m a huge fan of underdogs, and I have a lot of respect for the whole Ysengrin clan, but they can’t win them all, and I want to think that this is one of these moments. Brian Jacks vs Pete L. Juice Brett: We got 2 very durable fighters in this matchup between Brian Jacks and Pete L. Juice. Jacks is a highly skilled grappler, and even though he’s only got a BJJ purple belt, it’s one he’s earned from the Wild Card gym, which is ranked amongst the elites of the sport. He faced a good striker in round 1, but was able to get the fight to the ground and work his magic to get a nice submission win early on. What’s good about Jacks’ standup is that he can take a punch. He’s not highly skilled in striking, but his face sure is a good defense. Pete L. Juice, like mentioned earlier, is one hell of a durable fighter. He knows he can’t rely on this against Jacks, but at least it’s a very good option. He was able to survive the ground game in round 1 of the tournament and come up with a decision win, dominating the standup quite easily. He’s definitely no match for Jacks in the standup, it’s just a matter of keeping the fight standing long enough to get a good start to the fight. He won’t be able to survive on the ground long enough to pull out a miracle. Jared: This is the kind of matchup that will definitely be one sided. It think it will be a quick one, but it’s not a fight I’d put my money on. I’d still say that Jacks will be able to get an early takedown and dominate the ground like he does so well. Redser McCarthy vs Dennis Sideman Brett: Another striker versus ground fighter matchup right here, but this one should be slightly different. Redser McCarthy showed incredible power and was able to showcase his crazy boxing skills in the first round of the tournament, defeating a striker in just 30 seconds, with a flurry of punches to stun him, to finish it off with an accurate punch right on the button. McCarthy received KO of the night award for that solid performance, and will be looking to impress yet again in Round 2, where he will face a skilled wrestler. Dennis Sideman came in the tournament as a substitute, and he was quite surprised himself to make it past round 1, getting a TKO victory over his opponent. Sideman signed up as an alternate and was not expecting at all to take part in this tournament. He’s accepting the role of the underdog, and wants to shock the LFC by getting yet another win. He has nothing special other than a decent wrestling background, so it’s all up to how well he will be trained and prepared for his fight. Jared: Sideman was a surprise to us all, that’s for sure. But McCarthy is just no match for him. I mean, this dude has some serious power, along with accuracy that can’t be ignored. I can easily see this fight going McCarthy’s way, and most likely another quick finish for him. He’s just that impressive to see in the cage. Antonio Johnson vs Vincze Adrian Brett: Last fight on the tournament tree, and yet another standup/grappler matchup. We have Antonio Johnson, who’s Muay Thai is just incredibly good, but he’s not the typical MT fighter, he’s all about punches from what we saw. He seems to use the ol’ boxer methods when he steps in the cage, using punches and dirty boxing in the clinch, which worked perfectly in the first round of the tournament, when he completely dominated his opponent to win an easy decision. He was able to shut down his opponent and limit damage, which was pretty impressive to see. It’s like he prepared to fight for 5 rounds, since he didn’t look gassed at all at the end of the fight. His opponent, Vincze Adrian, will most likely show him what the mat looks from close up. The amazing grappler has shown his superior skills in round 1, where he got clinched, pulled guard, gained the top position and got an armbar submission win, all that in under 2 minutes of fighting. This is what can be really impressive about BJJ experts, they will bring the fight to the ground, even if they have to give you top position. Being that skilled on the ground, there’s one thing Adrian has yet to show us, he hasn’t taken a punch yet. If he gets punched a couple times before he can work his magic, it could be game changer, so we’ll see what McCarthy has planned for him. Jared: I like to think that McCarthy is too much for Adrian, meaning he will strike him enough to slow him down and keep the fight standing. But that’s another thing. We haven't seen McCarthy’s takedown defense at all, so we don’t know if he’s going to be able to keep the fight up to where he’s comfortable. Nevertheless, another great fight expected in that tournament.

While the boss is on vacation, MMA Hype is heading to Sully's for a few drinks. They will come up with a preview of the upcoming Round 2 from there.

http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1479134808007.jpg LFC 7 - Midweek Brawl Tonight on MMA Hype, Jared Asante and Brett Clarke are live at the Underground in LA to analyze LFC’s first Midweek event. Due to the fast growing roster, LFC’s owner had no other choice than to start planning more events in order to keep fights rolling at a faster rate. Here’s Jared and Brett. -- -- -- Jared Asante: Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to another edition of MMA Hype. We’ve been working really hard during the past week due to the multiple LFC events that are happening quite often, so let’s go straight to Brett with his analysis of LFC 7’s main card. Brett: Thanks Jared. Indeed, it’s been really busy for us at MMA Hype, but we enjoy every part of it, we get to see a lot of rising star step in the cage and we’re never disappointed. LFC 7 has had less hype compared to other events, but nevertheless, it’s filled with future stars. Here’s what the undercard looks like: Undercard: 265 lbs - Nick Taylor v Rocco Marciano 135 lbs - Ace Rob v Hideyoshi Kanemaru 145 lbs - Big Kass v Sunny Nganam 265 lbs - Ruslan Magomedov v John Gacy 170 lbs - Srey Samorn v Raymond Richards Brett: Our limited time unfortunately restricts us from going in depth with the undercard, so let’s go straight to the main card. 170 - Sic Vicious v Rico Dimelo Brett: A welterweight bout that will have the striking fans on the edge of their seats. Sic Vicious has been really serious regarding his nickname “One Punch”, and has delivered at least in his amateur career. Making his pro debut, he’s getting the chance to prove it once more, that his hands of stone will be what makes the difference as soon as he steps in the cage. He hits like no other welterweights, so we want to see him grow in the division, fingers crossed that he gets a good run, cause he certainly has the potential to be something big. Rico Dimelo will need really good feet and head movement to at least avoid damage in this bout. Dimelo is the youngest brother of 3 MMA fighters already training hard to become superstars. The LFC is still negotiating a long term contract with him, still no words on how all that is going. Jared: Like you already stated, Sic Vicious is taking his nickname seriously. “One Punch” has destroyed a really skilled boxer at his amateur debut, and when I rewatched that fight, there’s no doubt about the power he packs in those hands. Looking forward to see him perform under the LFC. 155 - Full Eye Yong v Vik Vader Brett: Sit tight for this one, these lightweights will put on a show. Full Eye Yong fought 6 times amateur in just a month time, and has an impressive 5-1 record at that. 5 wins in a row, he’s already generating a lot of interest in the LFC as a top contender for the vacant belt. Yong is still very young, but has already proven that he’s ready for the big leagues, since he went against fighter of all ages already. Power, toughness and conditioning, that’s probably the 3 best words to describe this fighter. His opponent will be by far his biggest challenge. Vik Vader is no joke, and this guy can come up with the smartest and greatest gameplans to outskill anyone. While he’s coming from a great wrestling background, Vader has shown skills in all aspects of MMA already, being able to strike like no one else, and of course, grappling is always the key of his game. While he always keeps his opponents guessing, what I like about this guy is, what gameplan is he going to come up with. Jared: This is going to be a good brawl, I expect nothing less. They both can bang despite their size, it will just be a matter of who takes control of the fight early on. 135 - Bongo Drum v Dong Hyun Choi Brett: The first ever 135 fight as a main card in the LFC. Any of these guys could very well be the first 135 LFC fighter in the near future. Bongo Drum is coming from a good run at the TWGC 13 tournament. He made the transition right away to MMA, going 2-0 as an amateur, and says that he’s now ready for tough competition as a full MMA fighter. Drum is a dangerous grappler, being able to take his opponents down and work aggressively to get a submission. What helps him as a MMA fighter is that he can actually take a punch compared to most BJJ fighters around. There’s no doubt in my mind that Dong Hyun Choi will have to take control of this fight as fast as he can with his superior boxing, because if he fails to do so, he could quickly be dominated on the ground. Choi lost in the final of an amateur tourney against a pure BJJ fighter, so this could very well be his achilles heel. He’s shown great power for a 135 fighter, having a record of 3-1 with 3 TKO victories, so you know he can finish this fight quick, if of course, he can prevent being taken down. Jared: It’s a typical striker vs grappler matchup that I enjoy watching. They were both part of tournaments before signing to the LFC, so they can handle the pressure, so hopefully we have a really exciting fight. It could potentially be either KO or sub of the night. 170 - Khabib Nurmagomedov v Dick Jawbreak Brett: Co-main event, bring on the skilled welterweights! I could be wrong, but we could be in for a grappling treat right here. Despite being at his first pro fight, Nurmagomedov has a really good wrestling background, with good enough striking skills to be able to mix things up and get a solid takedown. He’s getting a tough matchup to start his young career, but any future champ is able to surpass any opponent. Win or lose, he could easily be a future welterweight champion under the LFC banner, so keep a close watch on this guy. The tough matchup I’m talking about is Dick Jawbreak. Excellent BJJ fighter, who’s already showing a 3-0 record with 3 submission wins. We saw him at LFC 4 where he outskilled an excellent grappled, and he showed that he can be the best fighter in about any circumstances. Jawbreak still has a lot to prove since he’s still a young fighter, but the outcome of this bout should say a lot about his character. If he does win, I think he’ll be considered a top welterweight contender. Looking forward to see this fight. Jared: The big question of this matchup is, who will get the takedown? Whoever gets it first should be able to be smart enough to control and at least score points for the judges, but I doubt it goes the distance. 155 - Eli Barkio v Enzo Dimelo Brett: We’ve got quite the unusual main event here, but it’s all about the hype! We have 2 fighters who will be at their pro debut, but have been the subject of conversation for a while, since they’ve got skills and potential to develop into crazy superstars. Enzo Dimelo is fighting on the same card as his brother, and will be looking to impress the whole family, as he’ll do for the LFC. Coming from a good wrestling family, Dimelo has impressed us a lot in the gym when he started doing full contact sparring. It seems he’s stopped using his offensive wrestling and transitioning more into a pure striker. He’s jumping in the cage against dangerous Eli Barkio, who’s boxing has been rated as top of the line. Barkio wants to fight with the best of the division, so this is just a preview of what’s in stock for him. He’s a beast in the gym, being extremely strong for a guy of his size, and his sparring has impressed me, at least from what I’ve seen. I always like to visit gyms of fighters with a lot of potential, just to see their work ethics, and Barkio is one of a kind. I expect nothing less but hard work and total domination from him. Jared: I agree with you on this. Barkio should be dominant in this matchup, but you can’t count Dimelo out just yet. There is a gap between the 2, but Dimelo has a lot of heart, this could be key in this matchup.

http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1477917542006.jpg LFC 6 - Early Contenders Preview Tonight on MMA Hype, Jared Asante and Brett Clarke are discussing LFC’s next event, that will be held Saturday, November 12. A lot of important fights are happening during that event, since the main card is filled with potential future champions. Here’s Jared and Brett. -- -- -- Jared Asante: Good evening ladies and gentlemen! We’re live from our main office in Los Angeles, and we’re ready to give you an in-depth analysis on LFC 6. As you may already know, this is where the LFC finally starts to aim for championship fights, since we have a few top contenders going head to head Saturday night. Brett Clarke: Exactly Jared. The 2 main events will most likely give us a top contender, so at the end of the night, we should be able to announce the first candidates for middleweight and light heavyweight. This is exciting news so let’s not waste too much time and go straight to the analysis of the event. 265 - Antomio Piqueras v Muhammad Bello Brett: First fight of the undercard will headline newcomer Antomio Piqueras against Muhammad Bello. Bello is looking to add sparks to his fighting career, him who’s lost his last 2 fights via cuts. He’s been quite unfortunate to say the least, since he’s one hell of a tough guy, but he seems to open up and bleed way too much. If he can manage to avoid getting punched too much, and avoid bleeding all over the place, we should be able to see how talented he is. Piqueras will be looking to start his career on a positive note. The 22 years old wrestler has been spending his entire training camp sparring and working out without coaches, so we’re not sure how prepared he will be for that fight. We’ve seen his skills during sparring, and he sure looks like he knows what he’s doing, but experience could play a major role Saturday night. Jared: Even though Piqueras is at his first pro fight, I don’t think it will affect him much. I mean, he’s facing a Bello that wants to revive his career and wants to win at all cost, but I doubt that stops his LFC debut. 155 - Jeremy Heathen v Randolph Coleman Brett: Boxing versus wrestling, this is my favorite kind of matchup. It’s a matter of who can keep the fight where he excels, so the smarter fighter usually gets it. Jeremy Heathen wants to get his first LFC win badly. He was unlucky at LFC 3 when he got knocked out early, but he’s learned from that and he’s been working extremely hard in the gym to hide any weaknesses of his. He’s a very talented boxer, and he wants to show the LFC staff that he can beat whoever is put in front of him. Randolph Coleman, also looking for his first LFC victory, will have to use his superior wrestling at his advantage if he wants the fight to go in his favor. We all know he’s no match for his opponent on the feet, but if he does get the fight to the ground, it could end the fight real quick. He’s failed to do so at his LFC debut, but he switches his gameplan around, and his training camp has been going real good. Jared: I still can’t believe Heathen is 0-2 in his pro career. The guy can fight, we’ve seen his amateur fights, 2-0 and looking really great. He looks better this time around though, Coleman will have his hands full and hopefully will be ready to take a few punches on the chin before he even gets the chance for a takedown. 265 - Manzini Nsoko v David Wilson Brett: The pattern continues. These 2 fighters are both looking to fix their pro career by winning, which wasn’t an issue during their amateur fights. Manzini Nsoko is no stranger to the LFC, him who fought as LFC 3’s main event. He was a fan favorite, but fell quickly, just under 30 seconds. He’s looking to get back on track and get himself a winning streak, because he knows he’s got the skills to be a contender. Whether it’s standing or on the ground, he’s talented either way, and that’s what’s scary about him. On the other side of the cage will be David Wilson, a small heavyweight who’s also looking to start a winning streak. Talent is not what he lacks, since he’s a very well rounded fighter, he just needs to adjust a little better for the big leagues. He could join a better gym, which would help a lot, but he’s conditionally ready for the fight already. Jared: Wilson doesn’t seem to be working too hard at the gym. Not even sure he shows up to be honest. That could be where Nsoko could capitalize, since he should be physically better on fight night. 265 - Chris Runt v Marco Buhler Brett: Interesting heavyweight boxing matchup right here. Chris Runt will make Marco Buhler look like a dwarf, being 35 pounds bigger, and 7 cm taller. Runt has had striking success at his last amateur fight, knocking out a more experienced fighter and good boxer, but he’ll need to adjust his gameplan on Saturday night. He’ll need a lot of endurance to counter the barrage of strikes Buhler can throw, and he will sure have to use his size advantage to his favor. Marco Buhler looked quite bad at his amateur debut. We didn’t understand what kind of gameplan he used, him who tried to takedown his opponent on a couple occasions, but we’ve seen him at an open workout earlier this week, he’s ready for this one. He’s taking this LFC opportunity really seriously and he wants to show the world that size doesn’t matter. He’s a heavy hitting dude, so you can expect him to come out strong early in the first round and try to end his opponent’s night as quick as possible. Jared: This fight will have a feel of “David vs Goliath”, since the size difference seems to be quite obvious. Thing is, my wife keeps telling me that size doesn’t matter, so I want to believe that it won’t be a factor in this fight. 265 - Ty Sinclair v Malcolm Blackman Brett: Another fight that should be an excellent striking battle. Ty Sinclair had a so-so amateur run before joining the LFC. Being 2-3, he’s never made it past the first round, so if keeps that pattern, I’d say he’ll be in another quick fight Saturday night. He’s been away from the gym scene for a few days, but that’s simple recovery, since he’s more than ready to bang with his opponent. Speaking of, Malcolm Blackman wants to finally get his career going and get a win in his record. He’s had a rough start, but he’s looking better and better in the gym everyday. His LFC debut didn’t go as planned, but he’s taking this as a learning experience and wants to start climbing the heavyweight ladder sooner than later. Jared: Both fighters need a win, since they need to get something going. One thing is certain in my mind, this is going to be one hell of a fight. I think first round makes sense, and someone is getting KOed. 185 - Jay Jims v Tony Adams Brett: Alright, this matchup, on paper, is perfectly even with the exception that Jims is 18cm taller. Yes, it’s a big difference, but it could only be a disadvantage for him, since both fighters are pure wrestlers. A short fighter can usually take advantage on an opponent’s long limbs, but we’ll see Saturday. Jay Jims sure is tall, but he’s had quite the weird career debut, being 0-0-1. While his fight was weirdly judged, he’s shown great abilities on the ground, being able to land takedowns and controlling quite efficiently. On top of that, he’s got really good conditioning, so he can fight for days in the cage. His opponent, Tony Adams, is coming off an amateur tournament, where he lost in the second round against a BJJ wizard. Adams doesn’t much to show in the standing aspect of the game, but since he’s going another wrestler, this is where he should excel. He’ll need to prove that he’s the superior fighter if he wants to show the LFC he means business. Jared: It will probably be a tough one to judge if it goes to a decision. Both of them will want to finish the fight, cause I doubt anyone finds a way to dominate this fight. Whoever gets the better chances will score more points or finish it up, I know I wouldn’t want to be a judge for this one. 205 - Hero Galanos v Chet Stedman Brett: Undefeated light heavyweights going at one another in this matchup. Another fight that should very well be a grappling one. Both fighters are 2-0, with quick submission wins. Hero Galanos is looking to extend his perfect record, but he won’t have it easy Saturday night. The Convicted fighter has been training really hard for the past couple months, and it’s showing during his sparring and in the cage. While he doesn’t have the best striking in the league, his ground game is one of a kind, being able to control and submit his opponents with top notch techniques. He’s no doubt a rising star in the LFC, and a big threat to the whole Light Heavyweight division. Keep an eye on this guy, he could very well challenge for the title sooner than later. When you talk about a tough opponent, here comes Chet Stedman. Stedman is well rounded fighter, being excellent on the ground and in other life activities. In previous interviews, he opened up, admitting he was a big fan of gardening, and that plants were all over his apartment. Funny thing is, he was telling us all about it while moonwalking. What a character. Nevertheless, he’s got the ground skill to end anyone’s night, and he’s done it twice already, with only 67 seconds total in the cage. That’s impressive. Jared: It is indeed impressive, but he seems to be having more fun outside of the cage. He’s not having a serious training camp, and it shows, since his gym isn’t top quality right now. If you compare Stedman’s camp to Galanos’, it’s a huge difference, so I have to give the edge to Galanos here. He’s taking the fight way more seriously. 265 - Chris Johnson v Temujin Borjigin Brett: Bring me a couple of heavyweights for a quick KO! Chris Johnson is one of the shortest heavyweight in the industry. Despite his size, he packs a lot of power and likes to ground and pound ala Brock Lesnar. He can get a quick takedown, then land a couple punches to get himself in a perfect position to land more and end anyone’s night. He will need the perfect gameplan to come out on top though, he’s facing no ordinary man. Temujin Borjigin only has 1 fight to his repertoire, but it’s enough to say that he’s not one to mess with. He can dominate you from anywhere, especially the clinch, where he seems to just enjoy himself and man handle anyone. He’s coming from the Wolf’s Lair, which is a popular place full of true champions. Having such a background will surely help him come up with the perfect strategies for this matchup. Jared: This fight will dictate itself in the first 10 seconds of the fight. If Johnson does what he does best, that is get a quick takedown, he should be able to win within a minute or so, but on the other hand, could only take Borjigin a few seconds to connect a couple times and get the fight to his favor. 205 - Shoma Tanaka v Yavor Stanchev Brett: Get your popcorn ready, this co-main event will be quite the entertainment! A contender fight, for the light heavyweight division, has the potential to be fight of the night. Shoma Tanaka, despite a weird training camp that has been draining his morale quite a bit, is known as someone who has a tremendous work ethic. His LFC debut was quite entertaining, raining punches from everywhere until his opponent pretty much dropped unconscious. He will be looking to apply the same type of gameplan, at least a think, which is an aggressive style with accurate punches. His opponent, Yavor Stanchev, has already proven to be a top contender for the division. He’s 100% ready for this matchup, and knows it’s just another opponent before he gets that shot at the title. He’s shown good striking abilities in the past, and his LFC debut was a complete domination of his opponent, which was enough for a fight of the night award. He will come out strong, and will most likely have his mouth running to play with his opponent’s head, since he seems to enjoy the trash talk. Jared: We saw a matchup between fighters of those opposing camps before. I think this gives Stanchev a better reason to get a win here, since his good buddy lost that previous fight. I think Stanchev will make himself a ton of fans on Saturday night, I expect nothing less. 185 - Nick Tuke v Mario Lee Brett: The main event of the evening! Challengers for the vacant middleweight title, and a huge threat to the fight of the night award. These guys already have their own fanbase all around the world, and the LFC fans are thriving for that matchup. Nick Tuke already has a 5-1 record, all wins via first round KO. He’s an entertaining beast and I can’t wait to finally see him fighting for the LFC. Once he steps in the cage, you’re going to hear the crowd chant his name, that’s just how popular he already is, despite being his first official LFC fight. We paid Tuke a visit in the gym last week, and we saw a sparring session of his, I have to said, I wouldn’t want to spar against him, he’s strong as a beef and doesn’t seem to go easy at all. Mario Lee, already fought twice for the LFC, so this guy is quite familiar. The LFC fans love him, cause he delivers. 3-0, with all wins via strikes in the first round. He even won KO of the night during his last LFC performance, this shows how entertaining he can be, and why the fans are all over that guy. Lee has what it takes to be a top contender, maybe even a champion, since he’s got the heart to outlast any opponent, and the power to end anyone’s night, so watch out for that guy. Jared: Have to say, this is a very even matchup. Both are KO kings really, but I’m not even sure a quick KO will be the outcome of this fight. I have a feeling that they will have to tire each other out and get a good feel of each others before they can throw the hail mary. Whatever happens, this is a fight where all fans will be at the edge of their seats during the whole fight. Looking forward to it!

LFC 6 added. This event brings us one step closer to the first title fights within the LFC. The first championship fight will take place at LFC 9, where the vacant Welterweight title will be on the line. Once again, happy betting! http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1477917542006.jpg

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1477315824005.jpg LFC 5 - The Underground debut Tonight on MMA Hype, Jared Asante and Brett Clarke are exploring The Underground venue in Los Angeles, and are ready to preview LFC’s 5th official event. This will bring us close to championship fights, since we’re starting to get a well-established roster already. Here’s Jared and Brett. -- -- -- Jared Asante: Good evening ladies and gentlemen! After a well deserved week of vacation, we’re back just in time for LFC 5! We’re currently at The Underground in LA, which will be LFC’s first time in this beautiful venue. Yes, it was time to move the cage to a bigger place, since the fanbase is growing everyday! Brett Clarke: It is indeed. The last couple events at Wild Bob’s were quite packed, so this just makes sense when you think about it. LFC 5, this is where it starts to get more and more interesting, since we’re starting to see fighters trimming their way to a title fight. James Listerman already announced earlier that LFC 10 would be an ideal target for first championship fights, we just don’t know what divisions just yet. Let’s get this preview started right away. 205 - John Chandler v Grimm Reaper Brett: Even though these light heavyweights have yet to win a fight in their pro careers, expect Chandler and Reaper to give us a real nice show Saturday night. John Chandler only spent 9 seconds in the cage, but has seen enough to understand that this is no amateur opponents. The LFC is for real, and he has to start taking this seriously. Grimm Reaper will be a good opponent here, since he kinda mimicked Chandler’s fighting ways at his LFC debut, looking quite defenseless, but we’re hoping to see a different Reaper at LFC 5. His coaches seem to think he’s better prepared, and he’s way more confident this time around, so it shall be a better experience. Jared: The funny thing about both those fighters is, none of them has thrown a strike or even tried anything yet in the cage, so we don’t even know if they have anything to show. All we know is that they’ve been saying they’re ready, and that they want to redeem themselves, to prove themselves worthy to the LFC. 205 - Yuriy Kuznetmedov v Josh Meyer Brett: Alright, if you bought LFC 5 tickets and want to see dudes punches each other's face off? This is where you wish comes true. With only 1 career fight, Kuznetmedov has still a lot to prove. Being the son of a KT legend, he’s already changed manager, since he didn’t click with the former, and has been training extremely hard for this fight, which is no different than what he’s use to, wanting to follow into his father’s footsteps. Josh Meyer is considered to be the perfect matchup for Kuznetmedov, since he’s shown great striking abilities, and a really durable fighter at that. He can be quite unpredictable, throwing strikes from everywhere, punches, kicks, you name it. Fans will love to see him fight, and I’m sure he’ll quickly before a LFC favorite, since his aggressive style seems to be what people want. Jared: Meyer is an incredible striker to be honest, but Kuznetmedov is one of a kind. I’m eager to see him in action, especially since he has a new manager. Nevertheless, a great striking battle in the works, no doubt about it. 185 - Neyman Gariniho v Nigel McGuinn Brett: Brazilian Muay Thai specialist, Neyman Gariniho will be at his second LFC fight. We didn’t get the chance to see his true colors just yet, since he lasted just under a minute in the cage and wasn’t able to put his gameplan to work, but he’s getting a chance to redeem himself against LFC newcomer Nigel McGuinn. McGuinn is a well rounded fighter. He’s shown good durability in his first pro fight, winning a weirdly scored split decision, but it was enough to prove that he can strike like a champ. Jared: Win or lose, both those guys have a bright future, I can feel it. They come from well established managers, so you can expect them to fight with a specific and smart gameplan in mind. 205 - Alejandro Cervantes v Jimmy Decosta Brett: We will get to see a familiar LFC fighter welcome a newcomer, as Jimmy Decosta faces Alejandro Cervantes. Decosta will be at his third pro fight, him who unfortunately lost his LFC debut. It’s clear that he’ll have a different gameplan come Saturday, but he’s been very mysterious about the whole thing. You can expect the boxer to come out really strong in the beginning of the first round, which would allow him to score early points, and perhaps an early finish. Cervantes has an excellent wrestling background, which could be extremely lethal for his opponent. We’ve seen him grapple in the past, but we just don’t know yet how well he will transition to MMA. As a grappler, he can dominate you from any position, so if the fight goes to the ground, chances are he’ll be able to at least control the fight to a victory. Jared: I usually favor fighters with experience, since they are not as nervous once they step in the cage. I’d say Decosta has that advantage going for him, but Cervantes didn’t look like the nervous type. Nevertheless, this is gonna be a battle for position. 185 - Tua Hohepa v Michail Vitokin Brett: Any boxing fans around? I know a lot of LFC fans that will love watching this fight. Tua Hohepa, I’ve seen that guy spar, he’s fast, strong and accurate, pretty much everything you need, all in one fighter. On top of that, he’s one hell of a smart fighter, because he always seems to find the perfect gameplan to use against his opponents, which can make it really interesting. Don’t be fooled by his current 0-1 record, the kid can put on a show and can end anyone’s night in just seconds. Michail Vitokin will sure have his hands full Saturday night. Vitokin will be at his first ever pro fight, which will most likely put some pressure on his shoulders. He’s been actively sparring all aspects of the game, since he doesn’t know what kind of strategy will be used against him, but from what we’ve seen of him at the gym, he’s ready for any situation. While he prefers to strike, grappling is an option he’s considered, if ever Hohepa decides to use that tool. Jared: Why did you ask for boxing fans if this fight can easily hit the ground? I don’t think we’ll see a ground fight at all, I’m sure they will bust each other’s faces just to give the fans what they want. 205 - Vidarr Volundr v Nico Salas Brett: When you talk about fighter who want to prove themselves and put on a show, these 2 are right in there. Vidarr Volundr recently gave TWGC a shot, but failed to get anywhere with it. He wanted to test his ground skills, but being a boxer first, this usually limits your ground swiftness in general. The LFC is giving him the chance to prove himself to be a solid MMA fighter, so this is where he’ll show us what he can do. On the other side, we’ll see Nico Salas for the second time at the LFC. He came out strong at his debut, getting a TKO win in only 9 seconds, which puts him in LFC’s history book as the fastest finish ever. He’s got himself a good test Saturday night, since he’s facing an equally skilled striker, so it should be plenty of entertainment. Jared: We didn’t get to see a lot of Salas at his LFC debut, but I’m sure this time around, he’ll get his training worth in that cage. Volundr is no joke and I doubt he goes that fast, that is if he goes down at all. 265 - Raivo Jaak v Marko Oconner Brett: Young prospect Raivo Jaak will be making his pro debut on Saturday night. The 17 years old has been a popular subject of conversation between the LFC staff for the past few days, and everyone’s looking forward to see him finally enter the cage. Experts are going to study him real close, since he’s said to have a huge amount of potential already. He’s facing a tough boxer in Marko Oconner. Oconner strategically won his pro debut by playing it safe, but smart, and took the decision victory by completely dominating his opponent. You don’t see a 30-25 decision often, that’s how good and dominant he was. We can easily guess that he will be coming stronger Saturday night, meaning he will hit hard and often, while keeping it smart. Jared: I don’t even know who I’d put my money on for this fight. I mean, both fighters can bang, and at that weight, one punch can end a fight. Jaak being that young of a fighter, he’ll need to keep his stress level really low if he wants to compete at 100%. We know Oconner won’t feel much pressure, so he’s got that going for him. 185 - Tom Campbells v Paul Niche Brett: Tom Campbells is 7 years the elder of Paul Niche. With that said, Campbells is going into that fight with a huge advantage, not only in experience, but will be physically better. He’s already shown his dominant he can be in his previous fight, his standup game seems to be flawless. One thing that is certain about Campbells is, he’s all about giving the fans what they want, and that is a good show with the occasional bloodied opponent. Paul Niche didn’t put much of a fight at his LFC debut. The poor guy ended up flat on his back and wasn’t able to get anything going during the fight, failing pretty much all attempts at anything. He’s getting the perfect chance to redeem himself, and prove himself worthy to the LFC. Jared: Niche has been having a really great training camp, I’ve heard he’s in a way better place than he used to be. Campbells sure is a tough matchup for him, cause he could easily use his age advantage to just dominate him from every single aspects of the game. 170 - Nikolai Nikolaiavic v Nikolay Nikolov Brett: For the co-main event, we have the pleasure to see Nikolay Nikolov welcome LFC newcomer Nikolai Nikolaiavic. Holy shit that’s a lot of Niko. Nikolov already built himself a fanbase in the LFC, despite losing his debut a month ago. He’s hungry for a win and wants to put his name on the list of welterweight contenders, because he wants nothing more than wrap the LFC belt around his waist. I mean, 0-1 in the LFC, already a fan favorite, so all he needs is a couple wins and he’s easily in line for a championship fight. Nikolaiavic will be at his pro fight ever, but he’s already a well accomplished wrestler. The 3 times national wrestling champion has transitioned himself to amateur boxing and everything’s been going well for him. He will have a lot to prove, since his arrogance and cockyness gave him an extra challenge, his fists will have to follow his mouth. Jared: I can easily see why the fans enjoy Nikolov in the cage. He was 4-0 when he joined the LFC and will do anything to give the fans a good show. That’s what they want, entertainment. They pay for it, he delivers. 155 - Alex Taibo v Hiro Tanaka Brett: I feel like we haven't seen a lightweight fight in a while, so here comes the main event! Lightweights that will bring speed and power to your Saturday night. Both fighters are undefeated and the winner will most likely have the privilege to fight for the vacant belt. Alex Taibo was able to contradict experts, after they classified him as an inexperienced fighter. He quickly showed them that experience is not something you can base skills on. Taibo is a very skilled striker with a great BJJ background. He can fight wherever his opponent brings him, making him a versatile fighter and extremely well rounded, which explains his dominance. Hiro Tanaka has always been the kind of fighter who wants to challenge himself. He won his LFC debut at welterweight, where he was clearly way too small for the weightclass, and then dropped to where he’s more comfortable. Tanaka is already considered to be the #1 lightweight in the LFC, despite not having a single fight yet in that division. He has the power to end the fight early, so expect a really good show between him and Taibo. Blood shall be spilled. Jared: That’s pretty much a contender fight right there. There’s nothing official yet when it comes to championship fights, but we know one of these fighters will most likely hold the belt soon enough.

Was it this one?

Congrats to all winners! Tournament tree should be updated soon, and the fight offers for round 2 will follow shortly after. To all fighters who lost, if you want to stick with that fighter, I can send a contract reneg if you're interested in joining the LFC Middleweight roster. Lots of competition out there. Even though your fighter lost, doesn't mean he sucks, so he can still become a LFC MW champion! Let me know. If you want to be released from your current Tournament contract to go somewhere else, let me know also.

Yeah I'm not sure how the whole thing works, I think Mike waits a week or more to change the time altogether, cause here in Canada, we only go back an hour next weekend. Not sure the time will change at all in the game until Mike sets it manually. He usually sends a mass mail when the time changes.

I use it and I don't think I'd play the game without it to be honest. I use it to change fighter's clothes mainly, to keep morale as high as possible. Once you've had one and realized how easy it makes it on you as a manager, you can't get rid of it. Totally worth the fighter slot.

*puts his hand up* Disclaimer: my previous message was not directed at you, rocket, but I see you took it personally

LFC 5 added. Just a heads up that I'm not adding the Junior Master of MMA event to the bookmakers. It's pretty much an event of its own, so I'm going to stick to LFC events exclusively. Happy betting! http://www.mmatycoon.com/orgupcomingeventpublic.php?EvID=872011 http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1477315824005.jpg
