There was a thread about this recently and whether FA pickups should honour contracts or not. I'm of the opinion that usually you should take this up with the manager who cut the fighter, not the manager who picked him up. He did not enter into a contract with you after all. Sure, if you can work with the new manager and agree a way forward then that is better but sometimes you can't. These things happen sometimes and I usually just release the fighter and move on.

Using Firefox V18, I can't see the full numbers in the drop downs on screen. Does anyone else have this issue? http://postimage.org/image/5vlaqn1k9/ PS Apologies, I'm not sure how to put this image into the post.

You could make it a BUPA/Health assessment type affair. This could provide you with a summary of your fighter's abilities, mental and physical. Could give you an IQ test and a medical examination and provide the manager with an overall assessment. IQ is ...... Fighter's susceptibility to injuries etc. etc. You could charge decent fee for something like that. 5-10k maybe? Needs fleshing out a bit obviously. Thoughts?

Maybe you should boot him from your Alliance Jacky? You've got a reputation to protect after all.

Yeah, TKO. Only slight worry was the injury. I think I'll give him a go. Thanks Scott.

I tend to change mine at 142 but some will replace every day, other will wear a bit longer.

I just had a similar win but an 8 day injury. Should I be worried about that?

That makes perfect sense Mike. Thanks for taking the time to sort this out, I really appreciate it.

Great idea.

Hi, success! (Sort of ;-) They open but in a new page/tab unlike the public event page and bookies which open in the same one. If I'm honest, I prefer that they open in a new tab but I guess you will want it to be consistent across the site.

It says "there is a problem with your request."

I'm definitely interested in this. Never considered a jet before but now I must have one!

Welcome Richard. There are several Dickheads here so you are in good company There are plenty of people who will help you out with your questions so just ask. Also check out this thread, there is tons of information from building fighters, how to train and setting sliders. Good luck!

DFC 43 Brown vs. Karlsson is coming on the 16th featuring a Main Event Heavyweight title fight and the debut of the 25 year old openweight division. The big boys are gathering at Hard Knocks London. Sirkillem All vs Master Chief - Openweight Both fighters come in at 265 pounds but All has a significant height advantage over Chief. Chief is an accomplished wrestler while All is more balanced. Look for All to try to slug this one out standing and Chief to go for the takedown right away. Li vs Barrow - Openweight All the openweight fighters are making their pro debuts and this one should be an interesting matchup. Li is ten centimeters shorter and 75 pounds heavier than Barrow. Barrow is a Muay Thai specialist who will rely on his wrestling to stay out of trouble as Li is a BJJ brown belt. Bounds vs Johnson - Openweight Bounds is a very big tall fighter at 210 cm and 300 pounds, while Johnson comes in at 188 cm and 290 pounds. Both fighters are skilled boxers with some wrestling and if this one stays standing the big height advantage of Bounds could be an advantage. Paschal vs. Orez - Openweight Paschal has very good size at 195 cm and 300 pounds while Orez is powerfully built at only 175 cm and 265 pounds. Paschal is a talented wrestler who will likely want this one on the ground early. Orez is a Muay Thai specialist who has some wrestling in his background and may want to clinch. Stroker vs Electra - Openweight Both fighters are close in height with Stroker measuring 196 and Electra 195 but Stroker is 25 pounds heavier at 260 lbs. Stroker is also a Muay Thai specialist with some wrestling skills. Electra will likely try to get this to the ground right away to make use of his BJJ brown belt. Richards vs Weston - Lightweight One of only two fights on the night that features smaller fighters is this matchup of two young lightweights. Richards is sitting at a respectable 3-3 in DFC competition. His last win was at DFC 36 where he scored an impressive KO of Tommy Diaz. He lost in DFC 40 to Schindler by submission at the end of round 1. Weston is also split in his DFC fights but at 1-1. He won his DFC debut in DFC 33 by submission over Thacker, but was submitted himself in his last fight by Destroyer early in round one. Weston is a BJJ purple belt who likes to get the fight to the ground early and win the fight by submission but will also mixing in some ground strikes. Richards is a very talented stand up fighter especially in Muay Thai who seems to prefer to keep the fight on the outside with a mix of kicks and punches. Richards is a bit vulnerable on the ground if Weston can get the fight there, but that won't be easy. Swanson vs De Leon - Heavyweight Despite going into only his sixth career fight Swanson is 29 years old. His last fight was also his only loss as he dropped a unanimous decision to Karlsson at DFC 37. Swanson is a very talented wrestler who also has some boxing experience. De Leon is an undefeated 21 year old making his DFC debut from the BHFC. All four of his fights ended on the mat by pounding his opponent into dust. Both fighters weighed in at the limit but Swanson is 8 cm shorter. This is a very interesting matchup of strength vs strength as both are very talented wrestlers and prefer the ground and pound. Swanson does seem to have an advantage if the fight spends any time standing, but on the ground it is power vs power. Ozawa vs Nero - Featherweight Nero is 12 cm taller than Ozawa and both fighters are entering their 11th career fight with impressive records. Ozawa at 7-3 lost his first two career fights but then followed that with a five fight win streak. His only recent loss came in DFC 29 when he was KOed early in the second round by Cruz. Of course his last win was over Nero in DFC 39 by a split decision that forced tonights rematch. Nero won his first seven career fights before running into difficulties. He lost in DFC 27 by arm triangle and is looking to avenge the split decision loss in his last fight. In the last fight Ozawa continued to take the fight in and out of the clinch and he scored many of his points in the clinch by being far more active. Nero was effective from the outside and he was able to take the fight to the ground once, but did not do a lot of damage while there. Co-Main Event - Troeman vs Khan - Heavyweight Both fighter are close in height with Troeman having a 3 cm advantage. Troeman is coming in at the 265 pound limit while Khan is 238. Troeman is making his DFC debut and comes in at 6-3. He is 2-2 in his last four fights dropping two of those four by TKO for cuts and also winning one by TKO for cuts and adding a unanimous decision. Khan comes in at 7-3 and is also 2-2 over his last four fights. His last fight was the main event of DFC 35 where he lost by first round KO to Brown. All of his last four fights ended by KO, but Khans two wins came by pounding out his opponent on the ground. Troeman prefers to keep the fight on the outside and mix kicks and punches to slug it out. Khan prefers to take the fight to the ground and slug it out there. Both fighters have enough all around skill to hold their own standing or on the ground but this one will likely be decided by who can get the fight where they want it. Main Event - Brown vs Karlsson - Heavyweight Title Karlsson is the much bigger fighter needing to cut significant weight to make 265 he is also 11 cm taller. Brown comes in at a relatively slim 245. Brown is of course the reigning Heavyweight Champion. He won the title over Bisping at DFC 22 and has defended it successfully five times since. He has not lost a fight since his DFC debut at DFC 19 and all of his DFC fights have ended early by strikes. Karlsson is in his third DFC fight and has only one DFC loss but it is to Brown. Karlsson took Brown into the third round before being KOed in the clinch. That is the part of the puzzle Karlsson may have to figure out if he wants to unseat Brown. Karlsson has the weapons to score the upset with good boxing, wrestling and BJJ but Brown is much more experienced in Muay Thai and that made the difference last fight.

Possible money sink opportunity here. Pay for an iq test, maybe a week in a spar to get morale back etc.

Guys, some funny contributions in this thread so I'm going to bump the prizes up to 200k and award 50k each to the following managers; Co2be - As we've all messed up a date on an event booking Predicted - Not only did he give all his tickets away free, he left another 4000 outside disappointed!

I think it sucks that Estefan is leaving. I've got two of his fighters in the org, he accepts every fight, always responds to comms and is a generous with his time and advice. I've nothing but praise for the guy.

Congrats

nice and clean. Love that.

Loads of heart, a proper warrior.

Speed has a ton of heart. Small conciliation but you have to be happy with that.

I honestly don't know Joe.
