Is this event dead then? That's a bummer because I created a couple of fighters to soley run this circuit. Let us know, thanks.

Hey all, the TWGC link on the site says 'features weight cutting", but the wiki help file says 'no weight cutting' and you have to travel. Can we get this clarified, and maybe a wiki update?

with Olympics coming right up, will there still be the April TWGC?

Need to drop out, won't have fighter slots available. Good luck all

First Fight at QFC, and my 25 year old fighter popped 'inexperienced'. Does this mean he's pretty bad at everything else, or could he still have some good hiddens?

Would a few managers be willing to share their high IQ SHIG fighters' links? Thanks.

Title should say it all. If I have a really slow learner, but he has Granite Chin, Big Heart, KO power etc .... is it worth the slow learning to keep him? Can he still max out in skills, albeit much more slowly? Thanks

I'm back after a long break. Many things are new, and I'm motivated to train some fighters from the ground up. Proper training requires a rigorous and tenacious schedule with test fights and quality coaches. = $$$. I've learned that leaving MMATYCOON leads to an empty life of endless clicking in 3D instant gratification games ... only to find no real gratification ... thus leading to a loss of ground and humble restart in the best of all management games. Help me gain back the ground I've lost, thank you. rlawrence

Is there still room? How many fights would be guaranteed? I'd like to create a fighter for this.

Decided to locate out of NYC. Seeing several orgs for id restric newer builds. See you in the ring!

I think this is connected enough with ORGs to be listed here. Returning manager, looking to jump back in with some new creates. Can anyone direct me to a good, active organization thats good for newer players? Thanks, RL

SPFT 226 Welcome to RL Studios post-fight coverage of SPFT 226, in Hiloooooo! Nine finishes tonight! Are you kidding me ? Let's look at the carnage. 135 Billy Bob (27-20) vs. Jason Shields (12-15) RL Studios should take up a side job in prognostication! As we predicted, Billy Bob was just too much for new arrival Jason Shields. Shields was active on the ground, by Billy was like an octopus. Where did that extra arm come from? 14 Sub attempts, but it only takes one. Winner: Billy Bob, Round 1, Submission (Guillotine) 145 Ivan Putski (5-7) vs. Era Ojdanic (9-13) Era made a valiant effort in this match on the ground against Red Belt, Ivan Putski. He survived full-mount in Round 1, but the 2nd Round found him quickly giving his back. What happens when you give your back to a Red Belt? Winner: Ivan Putski, 2nd Round, Submission (Rear-Naked Choke) 155 Marco Polo(7-9) vs. Zene Zamosa (5-9) Zamosa is happy he has that white belt tonight, he has something to use to put his arm in a sling. FORTY SEVEN second sub! It went DING- Double leg take down- Pass to half gaurd-CRANK-Tap out. Winner: Marco Polo, Round 1, Submission (Arm Triangle) 170 Four Loco (24-14) vs. Vintage Vodka (19-14) Holy Kickboxing Batman! These guys came out fast and furious exchanging punches and kicks. Vodka was trying to be more tactical, focusing on body shots and leg kicks. It was too little for the head -hunting onslaught of the ASSASSIN Loco. Head Kicks and punches sent Vodka to the mats, and the ref had to intervene. KO of the night award! Winner: Four Loco, Round 1, TKO (Strikes 185 Jeannot Chong Zarbowski Li (8-30-1) vs. Emunn Samvesu (8-16) Oh, and the Fight of the Night Award! It's Chong Li on top, and he's raining down elbows! NO, a reversal, and Samvesu is working sub attempts. Back and forth like eels in a grease pit, and who would be victorious? With only two minutes left, Emunn avoided a sure loss by decision. Winner: Emunn Samvesu, Round 3, Submission (Guillotine) 205 Viacheslav Datsik (33-20) vs. Paul Phoenix (22-10) Did we call this fight even? Well, Phoenix will have to try and rise from the ashes after tonight, because he got smoked. His middle name should be 'punching bag' after this one. He took head kicks, elbows, clinch abuse and more. We're surprised it last until the 2nd round. Kudos to Datsik for putting on a display of dominance. Winner: Viacheslav Datsik, Round 2, TKO (strikes) 205 Brutus Nash (13-9) vs. Darby Gordon (15-7) OH! What a comeback brawl this one was!. Nash is cut in round one, the fights is in the clinch, the fight is on the ground, in Round 2 Gordon is rocked! How did he survive? He's a professional that knows how to dig deep, that's how! He brought the monster overhand punch in Round 3, and BOOM, Nash has his victory snatched away. Winner: Darby Gordon, Round 3, TKO (Strikes) 265 Lou Ferrigno (29-23-1) vs. Jim Kelly (29-12) Sub of the night! Lou must have watched our pre-match show. Kelly is a master of knocking people out, and he almost managed another one tonight. Two bone cracking punches left a nasty cut on Ferrigno's skull, but then he drove! Kelly was on the ground, and in 37 seconds the pain of the Kimura was to much for him to bear. Winner: Lou Ferrigon, Round 1, Submission (Kimura) 135 Title Match Tirion Lannister (20-3) vs. Jose Cronos (19-6) Master of Tactics! Tirion knew he couldn't stand toe-to-toe with Cronos all evening, and he played it smart. Mauling Cronos in the clinch, beating him on the ground, Lannister showed how important an intelligent game plan is, and kept the belt safe and sound. Winner, and still Champion, by Unanimous Decision, Tirion Lanniser 265 Title Match Freddy Steel (65-8) vs Kyle Collins (6-3) Amazing Battle! Collins was 10 seconds from winning his third straight round, and trust me, this battle was all his. He was shocking the world by manhandling another fighter that looked his superior in every way. I was rooting for him. But he blinked, and 10 seconds from from the end of Round 3, zigged when he should have zagged. A powerful right hand sent him down, and from mount, Freddy claimed the belt. Give these boys a rematch! Winner and New Champion, Freddy Steel, Round 3, TKO (Strikes)

SPFT 226 Welcome to RL Studios prefight coverage of SPFT 226, in Hiloooooo! A pair of title fights and a whole lot of drama in the ring tonight! Let's view our match-ups. 135 Billy Bob (26-20) vs. Jason Shields (12-14) Shields, a ground specialist from HFC, in his first battle in the Steel Pen tonight, and he's starting off heavy! Billy Bob, the former 135lb belt holder is looking to get a couple of wins, and hopefully, another shot at his lost title. We predict a quick win for him in this one, Shields just isn't in the same category. 145 Ivan Putski (4-7) vs. Era Ojdanic (9-12) Red BEEEEEEEEELT Putski faces Brawler/Grappler Ojdanic. On paper, they both have losing records, but they are a lot of fun to watch when the battle goes to the mats. For Era's sake, we hope he's been working on his striking game. He has no hope on the ground vs Putski. 155 Marco Polo(6-9) vs. Zene Zamosa (5-8) Another pair of struggling fighters trying to reach .500 face off in this one. Marco likes the ground game, and has some submissions there. Zene likes to kick and clinch, but showing up to this one in a white belt is a big mistake. Has he been hiding his true talent in the QFC? We'll see tonight. 170 Four Loco (23-14) vs. Vintage Vodka (19-13) "The Assassin" Loco is a new arrival from CESC, and faces another new arrival named Vintage Vodka from TTFC. What were their mamas thinking? Hey, crazy names aside, these guys can fight! Loco has 16 finishes, and Vodka has 13. Get ready for an intense match of physicality and tactics here, it's anyone's fight! 185 Jeannot Chong Zarbowski Li (8-29-1) vs. Emunn Samvesu (7-16) Jeannot Chong Zarbowski Li ... the only think longer than this guy's name is his loss record. His oppoent Samvesu isn't much better with 16 losses. JCZL get's the edge of he can keep the fight standing, and Samvesu has a chance on the ground. One of these losers should get a W tonight! 205 Viacheslav Datsik (32-20) vs. Paul Phoenix (22-9) A pair of seasoned warriors face off tonight! Phoenix has been with Gamma since President Clinton was in office, and Datsik is only 2 years younger. They have waged wars, piling up over 80 pro-fights between them. Datsik has more matches, but the fight is so even, you'll have to tune in to see who pulls it out! 205 Brutus Nash (13-8) vs. Darby Gordon (14-7) Just two weeks since his submission loss in SPFT 224, and Nash is back with steel in his eyes! Darby Gordon is a perfect match for Nash; they both box, have wonderful wrestling skills, although Nash has a slight advantage in BJJ. The one with the strongest heart will be the victor tonight. 265 Lou Ferrigno (28-23-1) vs. Jim Kelly (29-11) Two colossal fighters with different styles in this one! Lou has favored ground work over his MT skills, and Lou has done just the opposite. Can Lou get it to the ground? He'll need to. Jim is a strike and clinch master with 28 TKO finishes. Can't pick it? Come watch it happen! 135 Title Match Tirion Lannister (19-3) vs. Jose Cronos (19-5) An amazing pairing of skills tonight, as Tirion prepares for his first title defense! Can he stand-up to the elite striking skills of Cronos? I wouldn't be surprised to see a new champion in this one. The winner will get the belt, and his 20th W! 265 Title Match Freddy Steel (15-8) vs Kyle Collins (6-2) Kyle Collins has been an absolute anomaly at the Steel Pen. He was a nobody in his early 30's. He walked right up the rankings with 4 straight wins, claiming the belt from (20-11) Asko Villenus. Freddy Steel is a former belt holder, and beats Collins on paper in every way? A victory for Collins tonight would silence all of his detractors. Can he do it?

SPFT 225 Post Fight Welcome to RL Studios postfight coverage of SPFT 225, in Hiloooooo! Five finishes, and five matches that went the distance! Let's see what happened. 135 Hans Lankari (19-28) vs. Bruce Banner (2-2) Lankari revenges himself! The last match had the judges with blinders on, and tonight, Lankari made sure no one could miss who the winner was. The hulk didn't show tonight, and Banner was left to find for himself. He managed to land ONE punch in three rounds, while Lankari continually brought the fight to the ground, pounding Banner into submission. Winner: Hans Lankari, Unanimous Decision 145 Nycky Downtime (33-30-2) vs. Kim Figueroa (32-8) What happens when a wrestler can't get a boxer to the ground? He gets his lights put out! Kim made the first round interesting, with take down and some ground and pound, but Nycky had the heart to stay tough. In round 2, Figueroa's hand dropped, and it was left jab, right HOOOOOOK, good night sweetheart. Downtime gets his 30th win. Winner: Nycky Downtime, KO (Punches), Round 2 185 Bob Backlund (8-7) vs Leo Vieira (18-29) Whoa, does RL Studios own a crystal ball? No folks, just experience and first rate, cutting-edge, fight scouting from us. Vieira did better on the ground than we expected, but you just don't want to be down there with Bob. He couldn't keep up, as Backlund showed triangle, followed by some ground and pound, and switching up to an arm bar. Tapping is sweet music to his ears! Winner: Bob Backlund, Submission (armbar), Round 2, Sub of the Night! 205 Franklin Diggins (11-21) vs. Drago Maximov (7-8) Diggins took another step backwards tonight with his 7th straight loss. There was just nothing he could do. Maximov punched, kicked, clinched, and pounded Frank on the ground. Franky baby, the guys appreciate the workout, but it may be time to think about your health. Winner: Drago Maximov, Unanimous Decision 265 Jussi Junta (14-8) vs. Vladimir Petov (12-11-2) What a ground match! Jussi Junta righted his struggling ship tonight with a much needed win. There were at least 12 reversals, with fists flying, and sub attempts coming from all positions. Petov kept it very close, and there were moments I thought he might steal the show. Winner: Jussi Junta, Unanimous Decision 265+ Zephyrus Belenus (5-3) vs. Alexander Gustavssen (5-9) Head shot! Unbelievable! Gusatvssen, with Sensational Boxing skills and granite chin, went down hard under a barage of agressive head punches! Most would have said Belenus shouldn't try to stand toe to toe with him tonight, but he proved us all wrong. Another finish, and a fine KO. I'm a believer in this guy, baby. Winner: Zephyrus Belenus, KO (punch), Round 2 265+ Ron Artest (10-3) vs Nat Timmons (11-4) Whoa, what? Artest clinched, he took Timmons down, he punched and kicked, and he lost. Maybe it was all the failed clinch attempts that sullied the refs' opinion to him. By my count, Artest actually landed more blows, but Timmons was more active, and sure fun to watch. He launched more than thirty- five kicks, alternating from low to high. Hey, in a close match, the flashier fighter wins. Winner: Nat Timmons, Unanimous Decision 145 Title Match Jannis Arvaniditis (24-20) vs. Melekh David (25-17-1) Ever had things going just right only to have them blow up in your face? That's how Melekh David must feel tonight. The match went to the ground early, with David managing a reversal and the top position. Like butter, he passed Arvanidiitis's guard and ... SWOOSH, Jannis becomes a ninja, disappearing from David's grasp and going straight to his back! The hail storm started then ... a hail storm of fists, that is, and the ref had to intervene. Winner, New Champion: Jannis Arvaniditis, TKO (strikes), First Round 170 Title Match Glenn Benton (32-21) vs. Hakeem Berzevaco (29-18) Spinning backfist of death! Holy 50 second knockout batman! It started fast and furious with and even exchange of blows, but Benton's power and combination work was just too much for Hakeem. He got up off the floor once, looking for more, and he got it. Left, right, spin, BOOM. This match rightly got the KO of the night. Winner, and still champion! Glenn Barton, KO (strikes), Round 1 205 Title Match John Conteh (23-10-1) vs. Ryan Blundell (9-6) Straight up boxing, and Fight of the Night award, in this title defense! The grizzled vet meets the new comer, and the vet walks away with the decision. Conteh used an interesting 'body shot' first approach, but I wonder if he would have done even better going to the head more. Regardless, the question is, "What do you get when you throw 130 solid strikes versus your opponent's 75?" Answer" You get to take the belt home with you again. Winner, and still champion! John Conteh, Unanimous Decision
