Which secondaries should I train to pop my Wrestling stat?

I have heard a lot of shit about how the editing on that show takes things ridiculously out of context. It's kind of a shame, we're fight fans, we like to see fights and in this case get to know the fighters before they fight. It's absolutely unnecessary in my opinion to twist things around so much in editing to make shit seem all dramatic. Now hearing this, I like Mitrione a little bit more, again. Also, I thought simple man was a good choice as well. And he did appear to be smiling throughout the entire fight, and it didn't seem like the fake "oh shit don't let him know I'm hurting smile," I think the dude genuinely enjoys the sport, which also leads me to believe he might have a decent career ahead of him.

I don't remember his exact words, but I remember after his fight he kept bitching over and over about his head. I remember it seemed a lot like he was making excuses because he was tired or just not up for the training. He seemed to complain a lot, was unimpressive in his fights, and his personality seemed like he was the kinda guy that didn't get laid until he was 30. Also, he kept sticking his nose in between Rashad and Rampage, with that smug look on his face. Not saying anything, just kinda lingering on camera during the arguments. Again, he's growing on me though.

I agree. His TUF fights were just awful. Dude gassed out so fast in the Scott Junk fight, spent the whole 2nd round throwing sloppy punches weaker than Nate Diaz would with the flu. He seems to have improved a great deal, though when he was throwing punches at Kimbo from the mount, they didn't appear to have much power, and the ref stopped the fight after like 3 or 4 entirely blocked strikes.

In an interview on MMAFighting.com ( http://www.mmafighting.com/2010/05/11/ref-...-koscheck-mess/ ) Dan Miragliotta gives his point of view on the Daley / Koscheck fight. In the article, I noticed a comment about the Kimbo / Mitrione fight that stuck out to me. Everyone was shocked. Koscheck afterward said that he said something to egg Daley on. Did you hear what he said to him? Koscheck the last minute or so, had his head to Daley's side. He must have said something because I heard Daley say something back to him. With mouthpieces on and I'm standing a few feet away, I didn't hear what either one of them said. You can't hear them when they're that close to each other. They weren't yelling at each other. In the Kimbo Slice-Matt Mitrione fight, Kimbo had apologized for putting his fingers close to Mitrione's eyes during the fight. And Mitrione goes, 'Don't worry about it, bro.' That was during the fight and that one I heard because they were standing up. I didn't hear a word [Koscheck and Daley] said. Kimbo showed class throughout the show, so I'm not suprised at all by him apologizing for a mistake, but Mitrione was such a douche on the show that I simply do not like him. I've got some more respect for him now though. I dunno, nothing too important, just kinda made me not hate Mitrione as much. Do you guys have any opinion on him?

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=134048 My fighter's hidden is "good in bed." Does that imply anything or is it just useless fun?

Yeah, and stop acting like such a smug little cbomb.

2-2 Fighter in Tokyo needs a contract. http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilemanager.php?FID=66006 Can fight middleweight or welterweight.

The undefeated (4-0) and final Kingdom Kombat bantamweight champion, Johnny Chase, ( http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilemanager.php?FID=69261 ) has just signed with the CFL. Time to climb the ladder.

This actually reminds me of another MT issue I have. I have an upcoming fight with my Maia build vs a Sprawl and Brawler. We both have Useless MT. I was thinking I might have more luck getting the takedown from the clinch, but being as his standup is so much better than mine, I'm concerned about not staying on the outside. In your opinions, would it be better to stay on the outside and work for takedowns, or move the slider more towards trying to clinch? I worry that on my way in the for the clinch, it'll be much easier for my guy to get dropped. What do you guys think?

So I have a sprawl and brawl guy who's boxing and punches I'm pretty happy with and do not feel the need to work on as of now. I was thinking of Moving him to a new gym and just training his kicks constantly. Let's say his Kicks (the secondary skill) gets up to remarkable, but by that point his MT primary has only reached let's sat feeble. Will that take a great deal away from the kicks? Do I NEED high MT to have any success with kicks? All opinions welcome, thanks guys.

You think it's a bad idea to cancel it and then request one again right away or would that just put my fighter right back to the bottom of the list?

What's the longest any of you have ever waited after requesting a QFC? It's been over 24 hours for me so far, which is much longer than I ever remember it taking.

I have a Maia build with a very solid ground game, except for his ground and pound. Obviously, his boxing and punch stats are very low. Say I build up his ground and pound, would it still be effective? I mean, does his boxing / punches have any effect on his GnP? Let's say I build up his ground and pound stat to Strong, but his boxing and punches are both woeful, will that take away from his ground and pound ability?

Just curious, what's considered average? Good? Awesome? I have a fighter in a pretty mediocre org and the last event had 5 title fights and scored a 91 rating. Is that awful for 5 title fights?

Got a bit of an issue here, need some opinions. My guy ( http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilemanager.php?FID=69261 ) just won the bantamweight title in the org he's signed to. He's still got two fights left on his contract, but there's literally no one left for him to fight there. Everyone else in that weight class has the "manager not logged in for 3 days" clock. ( http://www.mmatycoon.com/orgfighterlistpublic.php?oid=1009 ) What the hell do I do? Sit around and wait and hope these guys get active and new people get signed? Is it a dick move to ask to be let out of the contract? Please give me your opinions, and thanks.

I'm with you, man. I was just thinking about that the other day.

That's very cool of you guys. Shows just how awesome this community can be.

I'm sorry guys I can't find "Edit Fighter Details" can someone direct me to it?

No, of course not.

Nelson is no where no contendership. Cain or Dos Santos would both shit all over him.

Well shux. Haha, I was hoping that'd give me a bit of an extra edge.

Yeah, I dunno if it'd be possible as it's pretty specific, but I think it'd be really cool to know what's wrong with your fighter when he gets injured.

Well the original injury was like 15 days long. It's just that after the fight he'll still be injured for 1 more day. You don't think that'll make a difference?

I have a fight coming up soon, and my opponent is currently injured. I just realized, he'll still be on the last day of his injury on the day of the fight. How exactly will that affect him? Will it make much of a difference?
