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

SPFT 225 Welcome to RL Studios prefight coverage of SPFT 225, in Hiloooooo! Three club belts are on the line tonight, and the energy is smoking! 135 Hans Lankari (18-28) vs. Bruce Banner We have a rematch! Banner somehow managed a decision in this last matchup, and most of the MMA world thought the judges were on crack. Just because Lankari is thirty-seven years old, and loses most of his fights doesn't mean he deserved to lose this last one. He's gotten what he's asked for, though, and we'll see who convinces. If Banner plays a little more strategically with his fists, I think he'll repeat with a win. 145 Nycky Downtime (32-30-2) vs. Kim Figueroa (32-7) After a 5-match feud with Ivan Putski, Kim Figueroa is finally facing another opponent. He took 4/5 of those battles, and although he lost the last one in a split decision, no one can be in doubt that he is the better fighter. No one but himself; word on the street is that he has taken this loss very badly. How will this translate in his match against grizzled veteran Nycky Downtime? Down time has fought 64 matches. Sixty - Four. On paper, Kim looks like the better fighter, but with his morale in the tank, I wouldn't bet against Downtime in this match. 185 Bob Backlund (7-7) vs Leo Vieira (18-28) Elite wrestling and submission master Bob Backlund faces off against balanced brawler Leo Vieira. . I love Bob's work on the ground, but in his last fight he walked into a 9 second KO punch. Viera is a new arrival at the Steel Pen, having fared quite poorly in Valhalla and the Hilo Fight Club. Could this be the place he turns it around? Anything can happen in MMA, but I'm betting on a sub for this match. 205 Franklin Diggins (11-20) vs. Drago Maximov (6-8) Franklin has been 'Diggin' his way to the worst record in MMA. With six straight losses, one has to wonder why he would put himself through this. Every fighter has a perfect match, though, and Drago Maximov might by his. With only one win in his last six fights, Drago isn't looking much better. Can he get a W and turn things around? 265 Jussi Junta (13-8) vs. Vladimir Petov (12-10-2) In July of last year, Jussi Junta was 13-3. He's lost five straight matches, and left AMS for the Steel Pen. Petov is in his third match with the Pen since coming over from a reeling experience with the Dominion. Both fighters looking to prove themselves, and solid match up of skill in this one. 265+ Zephyrus Belenus (4-3) vs. Alexander Gustavssen (5-8) Zephyrus and Alexander are both new to the Steel Pen. You've got to love his 'kill or be killed' attitude. He hasn't been in a decision fight yet, always finishing or being finished. 265+ Ron Artest (10-2) vs Nat Timmons (10-4) A great even match between a pair of winners in this match! Ron is new to the Steel Pen, and on a 3-match win streak! He likes to mix it up with his hands and feet. Timmons is 2-2 with SP, and preferes to work the clinch, using his Muay Thai. He hasn't brought the match to the ground much in the past, but this would be the night to do it. Artest has no BJJ experience, and could be taken advantage of there. 145 Title Match Jannis Arvaniditis (23-20) vs. Melekh David (25-16-1) Jannis has fought for belts in four different orgs., and is getting a straight shot for the Steel Belt tonight! Boy does he like to finish; 21 of his wins come from subs or TKO! David is also a new acquisition from Ascension, and can ground fight with the best of them. Who will be the new king of the 145lb class? 170 Title Match Glenn Benton (31-21) vs. Hakeem Berzevaco (29-17) Glenn is a long time member of Steel Pen, and faces his 2nd title defense tonight. He's a workhorse on his feet, and warrior with over 50 fights. Hakeem comes over from Hilo Fight Night, and is an daunting well-rounded opponent that has seen success in every aspect of the game. His morale is a touch low for this one, and it's anyone's match! 205 Title Match John Conteh (22-10-1) vs. Ryan Blundell (9-5) Conteh has six straight wins, leading to his claiming the belt over Datsik last month. He is an elite boxing clinch fighter, and has finished 16 fights with TKOs. Blundell has two straight wins at the pen, and is every bit the boxer that Conteh is, but can he manage John's clinch fighting skills? Can he hold up against his experience? Watch with us to find out!

Hey, no error message, but on this screen, only 7 of my 12 fighters are showing up.

Thanks. But weird, some of my guys aren't showing their numbers on the graph .. ?

So, I wanted to train a couple of 25 year olds for a few weeks, and put them in Lvl 1 QFC before they break 1000 points. Is there a way to tell how many points they have?

Welcome to RL Studio's post-event and highlight discussion of SPFT 224 LIGHTWEIGHT Tournament, and Middleweight title event! Hula's Arena in Hilo was nearly packed, and the energy was intense! We'll start with coverage of the Lightweight Matchups. 145lb Enrique Molito (24-4-1) v Julian Reis (20-14-1) Congratulations to Reis for securing his 20th win! That's two in a row now, and it looks like there has been some new life breathed into a career that some said was floundering. A man possessed, he fended off Enrique's strikes, and continually brought the fight to the ground. Early in the 2nd round, Molito was tapping out, as Julian Reis secured a powerful Kimura submission. Enrique has now gone 3 straight matches without a win. Is the Steel Pen too much for him? Winner: Julian Reis, 2nd Round Submission (Kimura) 155 Domino Kennedy (6-3) v Boros Monet (7-5) Domino Kennedy's momentum was brought to a screeching halt tonight by Boros Monet's masterful boxing combinations. Kennedy's team has to be kicking themselves for not working harder to implement the grappling game in this match. He tried to stand toe-to-toe with Boros, and paid for it. With only four seconds left in the 1st round it was double-jab, duck, and BOOM the right hook counter, lights out Domino. Winner: Boros Monet, 1st Round KO, Punches 155 Pale Monster (12-5) v Ben King (3-5) Chokes, Kimuras, and Guillotines, oh my! Grappling fans were not disappointed, as these two brown belts took the game to the ground. As RL Studios predicted, the experience of Pale Monster made all the difference. King made some nice positioning and sub attempts, but Monster kept blasting those strikes on the ground, softening him up. In the third round, from the bottom, Monster got a hold of a loose arm, and subbed King with a triangle. Winner: Pale Monster, 3rd Round Submission (Triangle) 155 James Miller (5-0) v Conor Nelson (4-2) When RL Studios predicted that this would be a rough welcome to the Steel Pen for Conor Nelson, we didn't realize how much of an understatement that would be! Highlight films have been showing this KO of the Night in slow motion all day long. Leg kick, body kick, HEAD KICK, and Nelson was rocked. Miller appeared to back away, and then exploded into the air like a rocket, his knee connecting with Nelson's temple, and ending his night prematurely. Winner: James Miller, 1st Round KO, Flying Knee. 155 Hugh Jasshole (4-1) v Deanthony Wagner (7-3) "Phil Tinker ain't here tonight", said Wagner to Jasshole, as the referee's unanimously named Deanthony the victor. The fight was messy, with lots of missed shots, and blown takedown and clinch attempts. Hugh wanted to grapple in any way he could, while Deanthony worked with his fists. Try a few less combos next time, Deanthony, it will clean up your game some. Winner: Deanthony Wagner, Unanimous Decision 155 Andy Burns (5-8) v Puna Wai (6-5) What do you get when you throw a sloppy head kick? You get taken down, and whipped, when you throw it against Puna Wai. That's what happened to poor Andy Burns tonight. A brown belt should normally defeat a purple belt, right? All bets are off when you're getting punched in the face. Puna managed a big shot while standing, another on the ground, and then secured a Kimura for the victory. Winner: Puna Wai, 1st Round, Submission (Kimura) 205 Brutus Nash (13-8) v Yuya Inoue (27-14) Slippery as a snake, Yuya Inoue snatched victory from the jaws of defeat tonight. Nash cut Inoue early, and won both the 1st and 2nd rounds with his boxing skills. Yuya would have to finish, or would surely lose the match. With less than 2 minutes remaining, he grabbed Brutus's free arm, stepped over his head and cranked it for the Submission Victory of the NIght! Winner: Yuya Inoue, 3rd Round, Submission (Kimura) 205 Arvo Laar (18-15) v DonT Bill (10-10) What a match! They're standing, and Laar is scoring with punches and kicks. Bill scores a takedown, and is transitioning and striking! Round 1 goes to Arvo, Round 2 goes to Dont. The key moment came in Round 3, when Bill made a move for full mount. Arvo dug deep, extricating himself from the position, and getting back to his feet. One point was all that separated the fighters on the scorecards, but it was Arvo's hand that was raised. Winner: Arvo Laar, Unanimous Decision 185 Rocky Scalante (25-18) v Red Redyan (8-9) Scalante is baaaaaaaaaaack! With just one win in his last 9 fights, he needed to show he was still capable of fighting. Red waited for a chance to bring the fight to the ground, but it never came. High kick, right-left, left-right, and it was over! Thirty seconds and Redyan was snoozing on the floor. Winner: Rocky Scalante, 1st Round, KO 185 TITLE MATCH John Mayhem (29-12) v Vlad Kersikov (21-6-2) The belt on the line! John looked sharp at the beginning of the match, scoring with some leg kicks, and cutting Kersikov with a punch. The blow staggered Kersikov, and some thought he might be in trouble. Not tonight. That cut changed everything, and Kersikov transformed into an unstoppable force. It turned into an expose on standup fighting, mixing punches, and kicks with great effect. Just one minute into the 2nd round, Mayhem blinked on a counter. Kersikov spun and landed a reverberating head kick. Mayhem's lights were instantly snuffed out, and he dropped like a stone, unconscious. Winner, and new Middleweight Champion! Vlad Kersikov, 2nd Round, KO, Head Kick

I'll sign up for a grappler spot.

Yeah, this fight was basically a hidden check for me. He's a VERY slow learner, and I wanted to see if he popped granite. But now .. slow learner and easy cuts = released.

had damage/acc set at 50%. But also, It's probably too much to expect a finish with a strength of 30, eh?

... a couple of questions. Please check this fight: http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=732808 My guys, Mustachio, was 110 conditioning, and went into the fight with @94% energy 1. The guy never touched me. Why do I have a 3 day injury? 2. I came out of the fight with 7 energy. A nearly empty bar. Does that correlate to any hiddens? Why an empty bar? 3. My opponent was rocked in Round II, and I didn't really capitalise on it. Oh, I did 100% SHOG. Can I do something in sliders to do more against a rocked opponent? Is it another indication of something in my hiddens? Oh, and this was really just a test fight, my strength is only at 30 right now. Thanks in advance for your help and insight.

I still see a few that haven't paid, I'll join for sure if someone drops out.
