When co-workers actually think you own a gym and have fighters that you train based on overhearing conversations you have with another manager at work.

I'm sorry guys. I didn't think this tourney was going to happen, so I signed Kimura to an org and he's booked in a fight for 3/26.

In his defense, his fighter has done much better since the original 0-7 start. I'm actually impressed that he kept the fighter and didn't toss him out like 99% of other managers would have. Adds a little character to the game IMO.

Rematch will be like watching David Blaine go underwater for 17 minutes. You assume he's going to be ok, but you're also not really sure.

I noticed that as well. Was your fighter hurt Chris?

#11 is really well done. Simple, and a little plain, but very well done.

Your write-up's are some of the best in the biz, if not THE best. The people who are complaining are the same people who are getting gym class removed from elementary schools because they were picked last in kickball and it hurt their feelings. Don't change a thing.

You're looking at it in terms of scoring the entire fight. Break it down and it makes more sense. Rd 1: Tannen does little to nothing in the stand up, lands a total of 3 strikes in the clinch (and I'm questioning how hard the strikes were seeing one shoulder strike "didn't do any damage"), was taken down twice, and had the clinch broken twice. I give Alderson a 10-9 round. Rd 2: Tannen lands only 5 punches in the clinch, gets taken down twice, is controlled on the ground, and is arguably controlled in the clinch as well as Alderson breaks the clinch twice and initiates his own clinch once. I give another 10-9 rd to Alderson. Rd 3: Round 3 is dominated by Alderson. He takes Tannen down early, controls for a minute or two until the ref sees enough and stand them up. He then fails with a couple of attempts, lands a nice leg kick, and takes Tannen down again. Alderson controls for another minute or two until the second ref standup. Moments later, another takedown and it's over. I score another 10-9 rd for Alderson. In total, 30-27 Alderson in a very boring fight. Alderson does his best Fitch impersonation and basically had the plan of taking Tannen down and controlling him. Boring (34% rating) but effective.

Blixx, this is one of the funniest posts I've ever read. To be honest, I can't say that I enjoy much of what you post, but this thread is awesome. Keep it coming dude.

Dude, we all know Jacky cherry-picks. Winning fights doesn't change that, as you are attempting to infer in the quoted post. Is Snake a good fighter - yes, absolutely. Does Jacky hand pick his opponents - yes, he absolutely does. Does he fight good fighters from time to time - yes, he does.

Awesome post.

Good point - it's not exclusive to grappling like the current name suggests.

I respect Chris a great deal. Always been a very stand up guy in my book.

Great example. Blue belt subs a Black belt.

Unless it's sub spam city. Then it sucks. For everyone.

I have a different theory, and it's relative to your fighter's stamina at the time of the takedown. The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Pierce scores with a hook to the body. Seddigh takes a step back and tries to catch his breath. Pierce stuns Seddigh with a nice body shot, before stepping back out of range. Seddigh does a little shimmy and throws a leg kick. The leg kick missed by a considerable margin though, making him look a little bit silly for doing the shimmy. Seddigh misses the jab. The crowd cheers as Pierce lands an impressive looking overhand right. Seddigh doesn't seem phased though. Seddigh takes a punch right to his stomach. That took the wind out of him momentarily. Pierce stalks Seddigh and leaps in with a furious combination of punches. Uppercuts and crosses smash into Seddigh's face. Seddigh staggers backwards, shaken. Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd. Seddigh fails with a takedown attempt from distance. Seddigh shoots in and bounces Pierce off the cage to secure the takedown into guard. In my opinion, when your fighter landed the takedown, he was gassed and took some time to re-group. Hence the missed GnP.

PSU - If you are referring to Godcheck, he's hardly an easy elimination. His Wrestling is amazing, and a Brown belt is nothing to scoff at. He makes an excellent entry IMO.

I've experienced the same thing

THIS

Classy move Jus Dawg. Kudos.

Absolutely amazing write up. Well done dude.

Seeing Ali with anyone but Roy seems weird. I'm just sayin'.

I got owned. Sucks to be me.

When is this thing going to happen? Any potential dates?

Nasir was tired. Doesn't matter how aggro you are on the ground, if your fighter is tired, he will be less active.
