  1. if the guy was leaving the game he should not have took the title fight to begin with. If you are returning messages and are some what active and you decided to leave and tell people that you are leaving then its something that you have been thinking about. It happens and its time to move on like you said, but its a real shitty thing to have happen to you. At least this topic did lead to a reoccurring improvement idea that I personally love and I will quote it below.
  2. Three big title fights on the docket today. Balaban defends his light heavyweight title and Chulainn defends the welterweight title. We will also get our lightweight title decided and that will give us a champion for each division. Preliminary Bout Number 1- Middleweight Fight (185lbs) Ton Rolder (2-2) {0-1} versus Juuso Valtonen (0-2) {0-1} This middleweight bout will feature two guys who both need a win. Rolder and Valtonen are both o and one in Honour but Rolder at least has two pro wins while Valtonen is o and two for his career. Rolder will look to keep the fight standing and he will need to keep it standing if he wants to get the win. Valtonen is the far better wrestler and he has the better Jiu Jitsu so he wants a ground fight for sure. Rolder cannot go to the ground with this guy so he should look for a quick knockout but I think Valtonen will get the fight to the ground and earn the submission victory in the second round. Preliminary Bout Number 2- Featherweight Fight (145lbs) Marcell Ozuna (1-0) {1-0} versus Trey "The One" Oshiro (0-3-1) {0-0-0} Ozuna went to the ground early and often in his one and only fight that was right here in Honour. He did eventually pick up the win by submission in the middle of the second round after really going after it. He needs to slow down and mix his game up more to get to the top of the division. Oshiro will be making his debut here and he is not coming in with a very impressive record. He does have some ground skills but nothing that even comes close to Ozuna’s skills. That means he will need to rely on his striking. Trey does have a good Muay Thai game and he should look to test Ozuna’s chin but to do that he will need to avoid the takedown. Honestly I think Ozuna’s has this in the bag and he will get a submission win in the first round. Preliminary Bout Number 3- Welterweight Fight (170lbs) Pud Pad Noyworawoot (4-1) {0-1} versus Radostan "The Horror" Tugbajev (2-1) {1-1} Noyworawoot took his only loss in his only fight in Honour. He gets a chance to redeem himself in this fight and to redeem himself he will need to turn this into a ground game. He is only slightly better on the ground but since his striking is far below Tugbajev so going to the mat is mandatory. Since the two and one Tugbajev is the far better striker he should look to take advantage while the two are standing. If it does go to the mat he should be just fine, but if he cannot get into position to finish on the ground he should hang on and get the stand up. I got Tugbajev winning the fight in the second round by TKO either standing or via ground and pound. Preliminary Bout Number 4- Middleweight Fight (185lbs) Esko Tikkanen (1-3) {1-1} versus "The Firestarter" Spontaneous Combustion (3-6) {0-1} This should be a good fight. Combustions streangths are in his stand up and so is Esko’s but they both have enough ground game to take it to the mat if they need to. Tikkanen is the better striker but it is not overwhelmingly better so I would say its say to assume that these two will stand in the middle of the cage and duke it out. It’s a tough call but I am going to pick Tikkanen to win this fight in the third round by TKO. Preliminary Bout Number 5- Lightweight Fight (155lbs) Miguel "Sari-Sari" Santiago (3-4) {0-1} versus Wicked "The Killing Spree" Sick (0-0) {0-0} Santiago was three and three before coming to Honour and taking a loss. His loss came against Heimolainen who will now be fighting for the title on this same event. Santiago needs to string a few wins together to get back into title contention. Sick will be making his debut so of course a win would be nice. We have heard from guys in Sick’s camp that he is becoming a top notch striker and he has a ton of skill on the ground and that will be problematic for Santiago. Miguel is going to need to press the fight to the mat and try to out wrestle Sick to get the win. I think Sick will be in trouble more than once in this fight but he will get the TKO win in the second round. Main Card Bout Number 1- Heavyweight Fight (265lbs) Emilio Largo (2-1) {0-0} versus Softly "The Sanguine Giant" Weeping (1-0) {1-0} Largo is two and one and he is making his debut in Honour. What we know about him is he a good striker, he has a great chin, and no ground game. I heard he has been working on his takedown defense and his defensive grappling. Even though he has been working on it he cannot keep up with Weeping. Weeping is a top notch ground fighter and he has good striking to back it up. He will want to take it to the ground in this one and he will want to do it quickly. Once that happens Weeping will get his hand raised in victory and think that happens by submission in the first round. Main Card Bout Number 2- Lightweight Title Fight (155lbs)http://mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20140517210156belt.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/13872073636034.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/19/19w1.jpg "Nature Boy" Quentin DeBramalo (2-1) {1-0} versus Erkki Heimolainen (2-0) {1-0} DeBramalo is stylin and profilin! This two and one eighteen year old has a great rounded out game. His stand up is far better than his opponents in this one so he should look to take advantage of that in this one. Heimolainen needs to get the fight to the ground to win in my opinion but The Nature Boy is still a great ground fighter. I don’t think our first of three title fights will last very long and I have Quentin DeBramalo getting the win by TKO in the second round. Main Card Bout Number 3- Featherweight Fight (145lbs) "Ryota" Alec Namiki (5-3) {0-0} versus Rasul "Frodo" Khasbulaev (2-0) {0-0} Both of these guys will be making their debuts tonight. Namiki comes to Honour with a five and three record and he is looking to make a big impact. He will be looking to make that impact with a quick knockout in this one. He should look to counter strike and mix up his strikes to keep this one standing. Rasul is two and o and he is a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He has decent wrestling to back up his Jiu Jitsu skills. He will need a quick takedown to win this fight and I don’t think he will get it so I have Namiki winning by takedown in the first round. Main Card Bout Number 4- Welterweight Title Fight (170lbs)http://mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20140517210156belt.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/30/30b15.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/15/15b10.jpg Ci Chulainn (6-2) {1-0} versus Thomas "Tommie" Hawk (4-2-1) {2-0-0} Chulainn is looking to make his first title defense. He won the title defeating Radostan Tugbajev in the first round by TKO. He will be looking for another quick TKO victory in this fight since his striking is far better than Hawk’s is. Hawk is four two and one and he earned this fight by winning both of his fights here in Honour. He fist defeated Steven Zisteau by knockout in less than a minute and then he beat Pud Pad Noyworawoot by TKO in less than a minute as well. I don’t think he will be able to match the standup of Chulainn’s so he should look for the take down. This is a tough fight for Hawk to win and I am picking Chulainn to win by TKO in the second round, but he can easily upset Chulainn. Main Event Main Card Bout Number 5- Light Heavyweight Title Fight (205lbs)http://mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20140517210156belt.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/4/4b2.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/18/18w16.jpg Bosko Balaban (2-0) {2-0} versus Antero Mela (6-2) {0-0} Balaban was a few fights away from getting a title fight but some unfortunate things went down and Bosko stepped up and took a title fight. He surprised me and most Honour fans when he disposed of Probert quickly in the first round. Bosko’s popularity soared after winning the strap and with a successful defense I am sure he will be one of the biggest names in the company. Great news for Bosko he is a striker that likes to finish quick and both of Mela’s losses came by TKO. Bosko is going to want to avoid the takedown and look to finish this quickly because he does not want to be on the mat with Mela. Mela is six and two but this will be his first fight in Honour, so how is he getting a shot at the title? Well he is on a three fight winning streak and he has competed for Sisu Fights and Evil Empire in St. Petersburg. He is a great wrestler and he has a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. His striking is lacking in comparisons to Balaban’s but his ground game is better. He should look for a quick takedown and not try to get fancy with him. Mela can easily win this fight by submission if he can get Bosko to the ground but I think Balaban will get the knockout in the first round before Antero has the chance.
  3. Alright guys sorry for the late preview. This merger has taken up way more time and effort than I thought it would. Not only did we almost double the roster but also Showtime and I doubled the number of managers we have to deal with and that is a lot of new personalities. I can honestly say it’s been fun and frustrating. I hope all of you that came over in the merger are enjoying your time here. Now with all of that being said lets dive into it since it is so late. Preliminary Bout Number 1- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs) Ads "Striker" Barton (0-2) {0-2} versus Pakile "The Pikeman" Pike (1-2) {0-1} Both of these guys need a win in a big way. Both of them are winless so far in Honour but one of them will change that. Barton is a striker who has a bit of trouble in the defense part. He has been knocked out in the first round of both of his fights so he could be in trouble. Pike can strike as he has some boxing but his only win came via submission. He has a great chance to win this if he can get the fight to the ground, if he can’t he should look to land a few clean ones to the chin. I think Pike picks up a win here in the first round. Preliminary Bout Number 2- Lightweight Fight (155lbs) Winston Churchill (1-2) {1-1} versus Jussi "Mutant" Hempele (0-1) {0-0} Churchill was ranked before the loss and the merger. He needs this fight to spring board him back up the ladder and towards getting ranked once again. Churchill will want to use his boxing to stick and move to avoid the clinch. If he can do that he will pick up the win. Hempele has yet to taste victory and he will not be able to let this turn into a slug fest if he wants to get the win. This fight should be tough on both of these guys and I think Churchill gets the win by TKO in the second round. Preliminary Bout Number 3- Welterweight Fight (170lbs) Daniel "Tytan" Trzcinski (1-2) {1-1} versus Dorofes "General " Orlov (0-2) {0-2} Trzcinski has a trilogy to complete with Bowman and I am sure he will be focused on that and not just Orlov. Tytan can win a fight if it is going to a heavy amount of stand up and I am sure this one will. He will need to watch of Orlov’s clinch which I have heard he has been working on. Orlov needs to working on something as he has been defeated both times he has stepped into the octagon and if he keeps losing he might find himself without a contract. I like Trzcinski chances in this one as we have seen him rebound from a loss before. I got him winning in the third round by TKO. Preliminary Bout Number 4- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs) Danny Lynch (1-0) {1-0} versus Teijo "Fredi" Fredrikson (2-4-1) {0-1-0} Lynch started his career here in Honour and he is looking to get another win in this one. The Irishman has a great stand up game and just enough wrestling to get by for now. He will need to use his boxing skills in this one to stick and move. Even though Lynch is the far better boxer both of these guys have a great stand up game. Fredrikson can move in and out of the clinch and mix his punches with kicks and knees. He needs to chop at the body of Lynch and slow him down from moving. That will give him the chance to mix his strikes up better and steel this win. I think Lynch might be a little too fast and I think he gets the win in the first round by TKO. Preliminary Bout Number 5- Featherweight Fight (145lbs) Andy "The Punisher" Clark (0-0) {0-0} versus Tyson "The Prince Of Perfection" Niel (2-2) {0-1} Clark will be making his debut and he does not have an easy opponent ahead of him. From what I hear Clark is a stand up fighter and I am not sure if he can match skills with Niel. If he has any ground game now would be the time to use it. We have seen Tyson lose the ground battle more than once. Niel has a very solid chin and decent offense to go with. I am sure he would prefer the clinch game but that is where Clark could put Niel on the ground. This fight could go either way. Main Card Bout Number 1- Bantamweight Fight (135lbs) Pelle Kickelssen (1-1) {0-1} versus Mavlet "Tapout" Gavril (4-1) {0-0} Kickelssen made his debut against now Honour Bantamweight Champion The Sigit. That fight did not play out in favor of Pelle but now he gets a chance to redeem himself against another fighter making their debut. Pelle will need to avoid the ground game again in this one, and if he can he will easily become the favored to win the fight. Gavril can match his opponents wrestling and he is a much better Jiu Jitsu fighter so the ground will suit him well. If the fight stays standing Gavril will have no shot so he should be looking for some counter takedowns. I think Gavril takes a beating but eventually gets the fight to the ground and wins by submission in the second round. Main Card Bout Number 2- Heavyweight Fight (265lbs) Tomasz "Dynamo" Nawarecki (3-2) {2-0} versus Fred "The Fredinator" Frederiksen (2-1) {1-1} Nawarecki has won two fights in a row and to get a third he will need to keep the fight standing. He is giving up a lot in the ground game he will need to overcompensate in the stand up. If he can keep it standing though it’s his fight. Frederiksen lost to Vihtori Kellolinnake in a title fight so this is a great chance for him to overcome his loss. He has relied on his wrestling in the past and he will need to do it again in this one. I think Frederiksen gets the takedown and wins by TKO via ground and pound. Main Card Bout Number 3- Middleweight Title Fight (185lbs) Psycho Boy (2-0) {2-0} versus Dario "The Killer" Silva (5-5) {1-0} This is the first of two title fights tonight and this one should be a good one. Boy is the much younger and less experienced fighter in this one. He will need to be on high alert for any veteran tricks and he will need to press this fight to the ground. If he can get the fight to the ground he should be able to finish the fight. Silva has been submitted three times before and it doesn’t seem that he has improved his submission defense over the years. Silva is on the other hand a decent wrestler and he will be the far better striker in this bout. If he can keep it standing Boy could end up being in a lot of trouble. Silva does have the better stand up and he has proven it. Only two of his five wins have been by TKO or better but he has had constant improvement with his striking. This fight could end up going to the third or fourth round but I think Boy eventually gets the submission win. Main Card Bout Number 4- Middleweight Fight (185lbs) Don Schmidt (8-5) {0-0} versus Charles Kota (2-0) {1-0} The winner of this was most likely going to get the winner of Boy against Silva. Now with the addition of Barbarian Dan Stall will be getting the winner to combine the titles. It is very possible that one of these two if not both will get lost in the shuffle. Both of these guys need the win and maybe one more to get the shot at a title for whoever holds it. Don is a striker through and through and his major flaw is the ground game. That has been exposed a lot lately so I am sure he has been working on his takedown defense. Kota is a wrestler and he has good bases in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He can get a quick takedown and he will be looking to do so to take advantage of Schmidt but he needs to be worried about a counter punch that could put his lights out. I think Kota gets the win and I think it happens early in round one. Main Event Main Card Bout Number 5- Heavyweight Title Fight (265lbs) Vihtori "Trt" Kellolinnake (5-1) {1-0} versus Burak "Big" Mihalev (10-2) {1-0} This is the big title fight we have been waiting for. So far no Honour Champion has been able to defend their title. Kellolinnake looks to be the first to do so when he makes his first defense against Burak Mihalev. Kellolinnake will need to use his wrestling to keep that fight standing where he will have a big advantage. Burak can strike but not at the level of Vihtori. Kellolinnake should be able to knock out Mihalev if it stays standing, but if it goes to the ground we have another story on our hands. Burak should be able to submit Kellolinnake if the fight does reach the floor. Vohtori’s only loss came by submission so he needs to be prepared. I think Trt ends this fight by TKO in the second round. Sorry for how late this but I still hope you enjoyed it.
  4. I do think I might have messed up the pound for pound now that Beastside pointed it out. Morris is ranked lower in the Welterweight division do to the 2-1 company record. Tremblay got the nod at Welterweight for being 4 and 0 with his pro and company record. The company record is the most importian thing to me when doing my rankings, then overall record, then skill set, and then finally hype+pop. Hype and pop is not that big for me. Someone could have the popular hidden and beat two or three bums and sky rockect to the top two or three in hype+pop and that shouldnt earn them a title shot. I like the ranking in the fact that if nobody fought that would be the order or the title shots. Obviously things will move around with wins and losses and it will stabilize in a few weeks. Once again on the pound for pound I did mess it up and I will hopefully get it corrected next week. Number 5 should be number 2, number 2 should be number 3, number 6 should be number 4 should be number six and number 3 should be number 5. Hope this explains a little more for you guys, but it at least it is already doing its job and making everyone talk. Good day lads and good luck to all that are fighting on Sturday. The preview will be up tomorrow evening and that should give plenty of more things to talk about.
  5. Weekly Rankings Alright with taking over the Barbarian Fight Club roster I had to make some changes to the rankings obviously. Each weight class will now have a champion marked and the top ten contenders. You will need to be ranked in the top five to be able to receive a title shot. This should be updated each and every week. We will rank each weight class and then we will also have the top ten pound for pound. Bantamweight (135lbs) Champion: The Sigit (10-0-1) {2-0-0} 1: Anna Velvet (5-0) {1-0} 2: Jonny "Showtime" Boesh (4-2) {2-1} 3: Norman "The Green Goblin" Osbourne (2-1) {1-1} 4: Slap "SHEEP" Nuts (4-3) {1-1} 5: Franz Sanches (1-1) {1-1} 6: Ramses Dragunav (3-2-1) {1-0-0} 7: Mavlet "Tapout" Gavril (4-1) {0-0} 8: Ernesti "The Kinetic" Koppinen (5-3) {0-0} 9: Mike "Bossio " The Boss (0-1) {0-1} 10: Islam "Time Bomb" Barayev (0-1) {0-0} Featherweight (145lbs) Champion: Pedro "The Monster Of The Andes" Lopez (3-0) {2-0} 1: Brady "Big Fist" Barnes (4-1) {2-0} 2: "The Game Changer" James Granger (8-4) {5-1} 3: Sergei "Crusher" Ce (2-0) {1-0} 4: Frankie "Wizard" Hoggets (8-2) {2-0} 5: John Swift (3-1) {1-1} 6: Gale Gold (2-1) {2-0} 7: Marcell Ozuna (1-0) {1-0} 8: "Ryota" Alec Namiki (5-3) {0-0} 9: Rasul "Frodo" Khasbulaev (2-0) {0-0} 10: Ambrose "The Mule" Chisholm (1-1) {1-0} Lightweight (155lbs) Champion: (None) 1: "Nature Boy" Quentin DeBramalo (2-1) {1-0} 2: Kolt Ganger (5-1) {3-0} [barbarian Fight Club Lightweight Champion] 3: "Intelligent" Tor Troeng (12-1) {0-0} 4: "President" Sam Nujoma (6-2) {0-0} 5: Erkki Heimolainen (2-0) {1-0} 6: Benoit Jutras (8-1) {2-0} 7: Zachary "Zap Zap" White (10-4) {8-4} 8: Leo "Leone" Galante (4-2) {2-1} 9: Paul "Gorgeous" George (4-2-1) {4-1-1} 10: Todd Frazier (1-0) {1-0} Welterweight (170lbs) Champion: Ci Chulainn (6-2) {1-0} 1: Marcelo Aurelio (9-0) {4-0} [barbarian Fight Club Welterweight Champion] 2: Thomas "Tommie" Hawk (4-2-1) {2-0} 3: Romulo Barral (13-2) {1-0} 4: Bosco "The Mayor" Brown (5-1) {0-0} 5: "Mr. Canada" Vincent Tremblay (4-0) {4-0} 6: Christopher "The Wolf" Newton (7-2-1) {7-2-1} 7: Andokuhle "Pumba" Congo (7-2) {6-2} 8: Split Brown (1-0) {1-0} 9: Aaron "The Man" Morris (7-4) {2-1} 10: Samir Kahric (6-2) {0-1} Middleweight (185lbs) Champion: (None) 1: Dan "Supernus" Stall (6-0) {6-0} [barbarian Fight Club Middleweight Champion] 2: Psycho Boy (2-0) {2-0} 3: Paha Hemmo (6-1) {2-1} 4: Bruce Wayne (4-1) {0-0} 5: Steve "Captain Blood" Staunton (3-1) {3-0} 6: Ceoghan "Carnage" Cartwright (4-1) {1-1} 7: Doug "Peel" Pattersson (5-1) {0-0} 8: Charles Kota (2-0) {1-0} 9: Sergei "The Indestructable" In (2-0) {1-0} 10: Brandon Marshall (2-0) {0-0} Light Heavyweight (205lbs) Champion: Bosko Balaban (2-0) {2-0} 1: Chryst Halo (7-1-1) {5-1-1} 2: Frank Damozzi (7-2) {1-1} 3: Clint "Cowboy" Eastwood (3-0) {2-0} 4: Seymour Til Alexandros The Seventeenth (4-0) {4-0} 5: Antero Mela (6-2) {0-0} 6: Tony "Scarface" Drago (6-1) {1-0} 7: George "The Demolisher" West (7-2) {0-0} 8: Bob "Probie" Probert (6-2) {0-1} 9: Bastian Mayer (6-2) {3-2} 10: Marcus Hayden (2-1) {1-1} Heavyweight (265lbs) Champion: Vihtori "Trt" Kellolinnake (5-1) {1-0} 1: Arthur Curry (7-0) {4-0} [barbarian Fight Club Heavyweight Champion] 2: Burak "Big" Mihalev (10-2) {1-0} 3: Dominic "The Duke" Manucci (6-2) {4-0} 4: Nickey "Mad Man" Spillane (4-0) {2-0} 5: Moistly "The Wet One" Seeping (6-2) {1-0} 6: Sayan "Arm Collector" Sever (11-4) {0-0} 7: Tomasz "Dynamo" Nawarecki (3-2) {2-0} 8: Sharky Shark (1-1) {1-0} 9: Jabari Johnston (3-0) {0-0} 10: Softly "The Sanguine Giant" Weeping (1-0) {1-0} Pound for Pound 1: The Sigit (10-0-1) {2-0-0} [Honour Bantamweight Champion] 2: Dan "Supernus" Stall (6-0) {6-0} [barbarian Fight Club Middleweight Champion] 3: Pedro "The Monster Of The Andes" Lopez (3-0) {2-0} [Honour Featherweight Champion] 4: Bosko Balaban (2-0) {2-0} [Honour Light Heavyweight Champion] 5: Marcelo Aurelio (9-0) {4-0} [barbarian Fight Club Welterweight Champion] 6: Arthur Curry (7-0) {4-0} [barbarian Fight Club Heavyweight Champion] 7: Ci Chulainn (6-2) {1-0} [Honour Welterweight Champion] 8: Vihtori "Trt" Kellolinnake (5-1) {1-0} [Honour Heavyweight Champion 9: "Nature Boy" Quentin DeBramalo (2-1) {1-0} 10: Kolt Ganger (5-1) {3-0} [barbarian Fight Club Lightweight Champion] This was honestly one of the toughest rankings I have ever had to do. For the new guys I would like to let you know I take record, streak, skill and then hype and pop into my consideration for my rankings. Hype and pop are not that big to me. I hope you enjoyed the rankings and if you agree or disagree please voice it on the smack talk forums.
  6. my nickname and last name is my user name
  7. Currently looking for a poster designer for my org. Please pm me to talk details.
  8. I am once again in need of a merch partner. Honour has now had 7 events in the books and plenty more events filled. Our roster has grown to about 160+ and we now hold two events a week. Some if not most of the fighters would also be looking for sponcers so that should help increase the sales. Please pm me or send an offer thanks.
  9. PM me Conor and we can go over things about it. I cannot be hired in to help with the hiring and setting up but i do know how to do it.
  10. maybe he just wants everyone to get more spin and win credits, I am pretty sure this page will end up being about 6+ pages.
  11. Dont worry you will be gone when I beat
  12. We do have to compete with EVO in Helsinki, but I would rather be the best ID restricted org in the world than be the number one org in Helsinki. I set my ID restriction to 230k just so I could compete with the best and that was Barbarian in my oppinion. Now its Honour's turn. Honour has great fighters and amazing managers and so does BFC. Now together we will be number 1 ID restricted company in the world.
  13. Once the org is closed I assume the page will get locked but I dont know. Feel free to use Honours smack talk page though. You already had a post goldenape on there that made me almost spit my breakfast all over the place
  14. Maybe Castor should just list the things he dosent do on his profile. International criminal, knight, chess player, drug lord, chef, and superman. That is an impressive resume already but dont feed us things one by one we want to know all
  15. Alright guys it’s a sad sad day. Barbarian has been given to Conor from Pedro and he does not have the time to run it. Barbarian was my first home and Pedro was my first friend on this game. It makes me sad that Barbarian will be no more but I hope to continue some of the great fighter’s careers in my org in Helsinki. I am the CEO of Honour in Helsinki and we will be moving the Barbarian roster to Honour in Helsinki. I will list a few things in this message and if I think of any other info I will send it over as soon as possible. 1 Contracts- I will sign all of the current Barbarian fighters to Honour with their current contracts. You will get the same number of fights you have on your original contract as well as the same per fight pay and same win bonus. You will also get a new signing bonus on top of that. That will be an average of your win and fighter pay. 2 Travel- Your first fight in Honour you will receive a round trip flight to Helsinki and then to your base city. After that your travel will be all up to you. If you wish not to travel and your fighters base is not in Helsinki I pay for your base change. Please note that once your first contract runs up I will take into consideration your fighter location, hype+pop, record, and company record to evaluate your pay. Also my PM box is always open for contract negotiations. 3 Titles and Records- All the champions who move from Barbarian to Honour will receive a title merger fight against the Honour champion and you will still be referred to as the Barbarian Light Heavyweight Champion, ect, ect. Also your Barbarian record will transfer to Honour. So if your record is 10-4 with a Barbarian record of 4-2 that is how it will reflect in Honour. Some of you may remember when I did the previews for Barbarian I always included both records in my previews and I continue to do so. 4 Write Ups- Currently Honour events have a preview and a review for every event. I am looking to add a second event each week and the Wednesday card will not have a review unless I hire someone. That is a possibility down the road. Also every Monday or Tuesday I post a small rankings write up that lists the top ten fighters in each division as well as the top ten Pound for Pound fighters in the company. It’s a cool thing to see and I do not just go down the list using hype and pop. I determine the fighter’s rankings by the same values I use for contract renegotiations. 5 Gym- The Gym in Rio will eventually close do to Pedro not being active. Once the merger is complete we will start working on getting another private gym opened in Helsinki that works the same way as the one in Rio for our fighters. 6 Fair Fights- I always try and schedule fair fights. If a two star fighter is on a role and he has earned a shot at a top five fighter but his skill is lacking I will always PM the manager and ask them if they want that fight. If they don’t I will find someone lower ranked that has close to the same skill set as the other fighter. 7 ID restrictions- Honour is also a 230k ID restricted org. We opened much later than Barbarian but I made the choice to be 230k ID just to compete with Pedro. I wanted to compete with him since we are such good friends. I even wanted to get to the point we were doing combined events. 8 Call Outs- If there are call outs on the Smack Talk thread and both fighters agree to it I will make the fight happen. If a manager PM’s me with a person they want to fight I try to set it up through PM before scheduling the fight. I don’t mind continuing this practice so feel free to call out anyone. 9 Smack Talk Thread- Barbarian has the best thread in the game in my opinion. I would like that to continue over in Honour so please feel free to use our thread. I love the Smack Talk thread and that is because of Barbarian Fight Club. That is all the important points I wanted to make. If I think of anything else I will send it out guys. If you do not want to merge into Honour and you are under contract send me a message and I will grant your release. I am not holding anyone hostage as that is not my thing. I am fair and friendly and I hope that shows some of it. If you have any questions at all please PM me before, during, or even after the merger and that even includes those who do not want to continue their career in Honour. Thanks to all of you for listening, CEO of Honour Fighting Championship Tony Rossi
  16. Honor is in Las Vegas, Honour which is who we are merging with is in Helsinki. I will be looking to book some private jets for fighters to move bases if they choose to. If they do not want to change bases I am willing to pay round trip costs for the fighters first fight in Honour.
  17. More info will come in a PM to all managers. As Coner said it is a 230k ID org just like Barbarian. There will be fair fights offred and intial contracts will be the same just with the bonous of another signing bonous. Same as in number of fights left on the current contract and fight/win pay will also remain the same. I learnd how to run an org from Pedro and Dan Monk at Honor in Vegas. I started to work for Pedro the day he got Barbarian and I only left to open my own org. As I said more info will come in the in game PM
  18. Pedro said he is not coming back unfortunitly. He gave the org to Conner as in transfred it to him forever. There is a merger in the works so keep an eye out for some info coming through PM's.
  19. Just the benefit of 24 extra weeks of training. 16 yo top learning speed is 7.5 just like 18 yo.
  20. HFC now has 6 events in the books and as the fighters continue to get better so do the fights. There was plenty of action on this card and a few surprises. Let’s get to it. Blackmore vs Obelix: Obelix was coming off a defeat in his HFC debut and was looking to rebound against the newcomer Blackmore. Unfortunately for Obelix he never got to put his skills on display as Blackmore dropped him right away. After letting him back to his feet Blackmore rocked him again before getting the finish. Good win for Blackmore who will look for some top 10 competition next. Possebao is a real possibility. Obelix will need to get out of the slump soon so perhaps another newcomer will be his best bet. Storm vs Newton: This was another fight were a fighter was having his first fight in HFC, Storm, and took on a man coming off a defeat in his first HFC fight, Newton. This was not the most exciting fight on the card but Storm was able to have his way in the fight. Storm was able to land a ton of takedowns and kept Newton from landing virtually anything during the fight. Storm had good success with his ground strikes and I would have liked to see him go to those more often but he seemed content with getting that first win which I can’t blame him for. I think Hayden would be an interesting match-up for Storm next but time will tell. Newton has since been released by his owner so we have most likely seen the last of him. Dragunav vs Kuznecov: This may have been the most one sided fight I have seen in a bit. Both newcomers to HFC Dragunav went for 9 takedowns in this fight and got them all. Kuznecov attempted leg kicks throughout the fight but only land 1 in the entire fight. On the ground Dragunav did not do much but Kuznecov did even less so there was no reason to adjust. 135 is deep and neither fighter looked terrific. Kuznecov will look to take on one of the bottom feeders next while I would like to see if Dragunav’s game plan would work against a higher ranked guy like Nuts. Brown vs Moore: More first time HFC fighters in action during this one. It was clear Moore wanted this fight on the ground but it was also clear that Brown was ready for that. Brown stuffed everything Moore threw at him on his way to a striking clinic. Brown came in with a good game plan of attacking the legs and body of Moore to take away his ability at the takedown. He did not get a finish because of the plan but he still looked good doing it. I like Brown to Hold next and as for Moore I would like to see Orlov or Duke next. Hayden vs Stromberg: Stromberg has been up and down in HFC so far but entered this fight coming off a win. As for Hayden he was coming off a loss to the now champion. This was actually a fairly competitive fight. Stromberg was able to get some takedowns but Hayden cut him very early and was able to rock him as well. Stromberg’s chin held but Hayden was able to get the victory. Stromberg has since been released so we won’t see more of him but Hayden I would like to see him face the winner of Tamner and Eastwood. Chulainn vs Cabrera: This fight sure did have an interesting ending. Chulainn was coming off a win and was looking to get into title consideration with a victory over the newcomer Cabrera. Both fighters seemed to like the prospect of being on the ground and that is where they spent a majority of the fight. The first round Chulainn scored the takedown and did most of the work so the he clearly won that round. Now this is where things get interesting. In round 2 Chulainn got the takedown and managed to be on top the entire round. However, Cabrera was aggressive and was going for submissions. Now personally I liked the activity and scored that round for Cabrera but two judges saw it differently. The third round Cabrera clearly outworked Chulainn and won the round. The fight ended in a draw and I don't see how we can have anything other than a rematch between these two. Katzer vs Barnes: Barnes was coming off a victory and looking for another win to make major noise against newcomer Katzer. Barnes dominated this fight from the start. Katzer got rocked early and never recovered. Barnes has looked great and a title fight should be next. Whoever Katzer faces next will hopefully allow us to see what he can do. Seeping vs Jackman: Seeping was making his debut against Jackman who was coming off a win. From the clinch Jackman had success but it just seemed like Seeping was just a little better everywhere. The first two rounds were competitive but the third round saw Seeping land the big shot that ended the fight. Seeping could see a title fight next which is what I would like to see. Jackman has a ton of skill and I would like to see him against Weeping. Velvet vs Nuts: Velvet was making his debut against a man coming off an impressive win in Nuts. Nuts has skills but this fight went where he did not want it to go, the clinch. Once there Velvet dominated and got the finish. Velvet is in line for a title shot now and Nuts against Sanchez makes sense. This defeat will not hurt Nuts much. Swift vs Lopez: The title was on the line at 145 and Lopez was determined to take it. Lopez wasted no time and instead of Swift taking it to the ground like he usually does, Lopez shot in and took the top position. Lopez used his terrific ground game to score the submission and the title. Swift will probably fight an Ozuna to get back to his title while Lopez will likely have his first defense against Barnes.
