  2. SP ICON 2.0: The Next Chapter Preview & Predictions Prelims: Wally Markberg vs Monty Fernandez Preview: An opening fight between two guys who lost their MMA debuts, they will both be looking to rebound here. Monty Fernandez got schooled in a boring clinch-fest in his first fight, he wasn’t able to mount any offence; with his back against the cage the whole fight. Markberg was submitted in his first fight, however he did actually win two rounds quite convincingly, showing some good wrestling with takedowns and top control. This leads me to think Markberg will take this fight, although he also had very little offence from the ground, so I don’t believe it will be a finish, Markberg via lay and pray. Wally Markberg via Unanimous Decision Marvin Gaye vs Clubber Lang Preview: A fight in the Lightweight division; that whilst not featuring a particularly high quality of fighter, should be a fun scrap to watch. Marvin Gaye lost his first fight in a competitive decision, in which he showed he clearly favours the ground game, with no interest in striking at all. Clubber Lang was taken down and submitted in the first round, so he’ll be looking to keep this one standing, I’m hearing he’s a brawler with a bit of pop in his hands. This should be a back and forth fight, with Gaye’s takedowns and ground game giving Lang problems in the early going, but eventually, Gaye’s cowardice towards the striking game will catch up to him, he’ll get caught with a combination, he’ll go down and the referee will pull Lang off of him. Clubber Lang via TKO (Round 2) Cheech Gona vs Tiki McGee Preview: This middleweight matchup is quite simple. Tiki McGee has a background in wrestling; will want to get the takedown and ground and pound his opponents, doing very little else. Gona is a BJJ practitioner who has no route to victory other than forcing a ground fight and a submission. Gona’s BJJ is far more advanced than McGee’s, so a McGee takedown followed by a Submission from the guard of Gona seems to be the order of events here. Cheech Gona via Submission (Round 1) Brutus Leagatius vs Jeff Dahmer Preview: Two powerful Heavyweights who specialise in Muay Thai making their debut. It’s hard to predict because we know so little about either of them, I think it is a safe bet to say one of them wins by knockout. When you factor in that Leagatius is managed by Peel Steel, and Dahmer is managed by…. Some other guy, I think it is a safe bet to say that Leagatius wins by knockout, early. Brutus Leagatius via KO (Round 1) Grogory Damkratov vs Snoop Blue Preview: On paper it looks an evenly matched fight, but it is not likely to play out that way. Snoop Blue’s best hope of winning would seem to be takedowns and ground control; as he is the better wrestler, but a submission is unlikely. Damkratov is a substantially harder hitter, add to that that he is likely to be almost 30 pounds heavier on fight night and it doesn’t look so good for Blue. Blue may have some initial success embracing the grind, but it is only so long before he gets hit by the bigger man. Blue showed good heart coming back to win from being rocked in his last fight, but I think this time he will stay down. Grogory Damkratov via TKO (Round 1) Main Card: Johnny Leopold vs Clarence Morrow Preview: A Heavyweight fight comes together here; between a jack of all trades in Clarence Morrow, and an excellent wrestler without much going for him in Johnny Leopold. I see Leopold getting the takedowns here, Morrow’s guard will be good enough to stay in the fight, but not good enough to finish or mount significant offence himself. Leopold wins via sloppy Wrestlefuck. Johnny Leopold via Unanimous Decision Mark Homicide vs Champions Fight Preview: A fight which is set to be a close scrap, Homicide is a better boxer, Fight should have an advantage in the clinch, Homicide’s wrestling is superior, but Fight should have more of a submission threat on the ground. All of these factors weighed up, two guys who have never fought before, I think we’ll be optimistic and say both guys get their licks in, during an entertaining scrap, with Homicide getting a slight edge due to a style a bit better suited for MMA. Mark Homicide via Split Decision Ury Dikunov vs Ryszard Nowak Preview: Two guys who’ve both tested the proverbial MMA waters with one fight under their belts. Dikonov finished his debut by winning in just under two minutes with some mean GNP, whereas Nowak got clocked in just over 30 seconds, turning his lights out. We haven’t seen a whole lot of either of these fighters, which makes it unpredictable. They are both grapplers primarily, so it could be a story of whoever gets the takedown and holds their opponent down. The only thing I can use to predict this is Nowak’s extremely negative reaction to being hit in his first fight, he was on Queer Street after one big shot. My money is on Dikonov eventually taking Nowak down, and landing a couple of shots to the dome, which will have Nowak covering up for dear life, and the referee scrambling to preserve Nowak’s safety. Ury Dikunov via TKO (Round 2) Hugo Freitas vs Joey Karate Preview: Joey Karate has to be disappointed, all that hype around his first MMA fight and he ended up lasting all of 1 minute 18 seconds in his debut, before succumbing to a simple, but brutally effective GNP strategy from hotshot wrestler Jonas Lofmark. The bad news for Karate is that his next opponent will be employing a similar, ground orientated game plan. The good news for Karate is that Hugo Freitas is 1. Making his debut and 2. Not as good of a wrestler as Lofmark. Freitas does not have the same amateur credentials as a stud like Lofmark, but apparently he wipes the floor with everyone in the gym at Cozad MMA Hilo, so he shouldn’t be underestimated. I think this will be Karate’s coming out party, as he steps back into the win column by beating a tough, rugged, but ultimately overmatched Hugo Freitas. Karate will use his superior striking to pick his opponent apart standing with footwork and kicks, he should also be able to stop enough takedowns to win a convincing decision. Joey Karate via Unanimous Decision Middleweight Championship – Happy Face vs Dominic Carter Preview: So here we have it; two guys, in their second ever MMA fight, fighting for a belt. Only on MMATycoon.com can we see such wonders and atrocities. Dominic Carter won a convincing decision in his first fight, showing some good grappling skills in the process. Not much has been seen of his striking game, but I’m sure we’ll see it in this fight, as Happy Face is a very good wrestler also. The worrying thing for Carter in this fight has to be the dynamite which appears to be in Face’s hands. In his first fight, face took his opponent down, quickly stacked the guard and unloaded with some vicious ground and pound. What’s even more concerning though, is that we are told by sources at Cozad MMA Los Angeles that Face’s greatest strength is boxing. This could spell trouble for Carter, and we could be forgiven for wondering if he has any advantages at all in this fight. These guys can both take each other down I believe, but Face has shown to be a more dominant force so far. I think they will have a close clinch/ground battle for the first round and a half. They will soon start to tire, and Face’s superior boxing will take over. A late flurry results in a knockout victory, and the inaugural Middleweight Champion now has the stupidest name in MMA Tycoon history. Happy Face via TKO (Round 3)
  3. Coming from a manager who only created one fighter called gfdbbsfbkl. I think he's here just to spam
  4. http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=833042 Seems as if new evidence has emerged to suggest Bashorov is a better 'wrestler' than Pulkkinen
  5. Sanjit Babatunde vs Roberto Firmino Martijn Hoogeveld vs Nate Cambridge
  6. I know now that that's how the game is scored; but when you look at it realistically; my guy was in top control for about 75% of the fight, passing guard and attempting subs. The other guy was getting up every once in a while and hitting a jab or two in the striking. On that basis, my guy deserved to win
  7. I think escapes certainly have a lot to do with it. It's like this one; I have no idea why my guy lost this fight http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=805509 He should be undefeated; but at the same time, that's just the way judging is on the game atm
  8. SP ICON 2.0: Ground Zero Preview and Predictions: Prelims: Dark Dark vs Brock Marciano: A fight between heavyweights to kick off the card, but this will not be traditional heavyweight slug off. Brock Marciano; despite being TKO’d in his last fight, has proved to be a very decent wrestler, and considering the rumours about Dark Dark’s lack of training, that should be more than enough in this fight. Brock Marciano via Unanimous Decision Maurice Von Fenwa vs Requis Von Fenwa: A fight between two guys, who are cousins/brothers and are out of the same management stable, there will be some heavy leather thrown in this fight. Manager Grant Brophy will be watching on intensely; as he ruthlessly forced these relatives to slug it out. One of these guys will stay under his management, whilst one of them may leave, based on performance of course. On paper they are very evenly matched and it may come down to whose chin cracks first, but I have to give the advantage to the lighter, faster Maurice on this occasion. Maurice Von Fenwa via KO (Round 1) Jay Lyu vs Johnny Ray: A match in the Light Heavyweight Division, between a guy who lost to a Featherweight in his first fight (Jay Lyu) vs some other Light Heavyweight (Johnny Ray). Ironically, I favour Jay Lyu here, because he specialises in Muay Thai, whereas Ray is a jack of all trades, and those type of guys don’t tend to cut it in MMA Tycoon, I say Lyu gets a late finish. Lyu via TKO (Round 3) Ace Newbury vs Didier Leroy: An undercard match between two guys who have a background in striking, I’ve heard Leroy has some mad power in his hands, but we haven’t seen it yet, because he hasn’t had a fight yet. Newbury showed he has some wrestling in his locker by taking his opponent down and dry-humping him on route to his first win. I think he does the same again, but this time I’m betting he submits the debutant. Newbury via Submission (Round 1) Main Card: Anthony Johnson vs Duncan Macleod: Here we have two debutants, one of them is known as an excellent amateur Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, a brown belt at 18 years old, while little is known about the other. Presumably Macleod can win this fight if it stays standing, as Johnson has no striking experience at all. That said, I think this makes Johnson more dangerous, I see him tying up with Macleod and relentlessly trying for the takedown or just pulling guard. I don’t think Macleod can stop this game plan, being a rookie himself, so I think a submission is inevitable here. Anthony Johnson via Submission (Round 1) Jim Dangle vs Josh Koscheck So here we have another brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, welterweight Josh Koscheck, who got mauled on the ground in his first fight; however he was facing a Heavyweight in that fight, one who also has equally impressive grappling ability. I think he takes this against relative no hope Jim Dangle. Koscheck should have a slight edge on his feet to go along with the massive edge on the ground, I don’t see how he has a problem here. Koscheck via Submission (Round 2) Joey Karate vs Jonas Lofmark: A typical striker vs grappler matchup, while Joey Karate has a background in Muay Thai, and I’m guessing… Karate, Lofmark was an outstanding wrestler in his home nation of Sweden, and at basic levels of that game, wrestling is known to win out over many other disciplines, sorry Karate, but I think you’re getting Fitched here. Jonas Lofmark via Unanimous Decision Light Heavyweight Championship – Vincent Cluster vs I Am Terrible Two strong Light Heavyweights in a five round scrap; to crown the inaugural Light Heavyweight Champion for SP ICON 2.0. Vincent Cluster is a solid fighter, and he’s certainly tough. He showed his chin in his first fight when he battled his way to an awkward, clinch heavy decision win. I Am Terrible; despite his name, looks to be a very handy fighter, landing with vicious elbows in the clinch left one opponent too cut up to continue, and another tapping out on the floor due to them. Cluster will not be as easy to finish, but I still think terrible comes out on top here, it will just take him longer. Eventually Cluster’s chin will give out under those savage elbows. I Am Terrible via TKO (Round 3) MAIN EVENT: Heavyweight Championship - Makanaakua Moliakalaniikeola vs Alton Maxin So Altin squares off with the man who has the most unpronounceable name in all of sports. Altin is a decent wrestler, as he showed in his first fight with some mad lay and pray skills. He is the lighter man in this fighter and appears to have an extremely sturdy chin. The problem is, he showed all of this against a guy who wasn’t really a threat. In this fight; against Makanaakua; Altin will get messed up on the feet if he is unable to force a ground fight. It will be all about if he can get that takedown or not. I’m gonna say Altin has some trouble in the striking here, getting beaten up by a superior striker, however, once he gets it down, this is all him. Makanaakua; has no chance on the ground, so it’s all about if he can keep it standing long enough to score a knockout, because I don’t think the fight goes to decision. My money is on Altin, as we know what we’re getting with him, as he has had a fight already, he’ll wear him down on the ground and eventually snatch a submission. Alton Maxin via Submission (Round 2)
  9. Sorry to hear that mate; I understand HILO is a Bitch; but unfortunately it's only a start up org atm so money is relatively low
  10. Steel Penn has nothing to do with this org other than the SP ICON name; i run it myself and if you read the front page of it, I am strongly against multis fighting for the org or helping me run the org
  11. Send me his fighter ID or a link to his profile page and i'll sign him
  12. Hey guys, So I have just about got the org started up, recruiting fighters and making events etc. The whole concept around the org lies in a tournament which I am creating. The tournament will go in all weightclasses the org has, so between 155lb and 265lb. It is planned to start on November 1st. There may be qualifying matches in late October to decide who makes the final 8-16 in each weightclass if we have too many fighters The tournament requires either 8 or 16 fighters from each of these weightclasses. The winner in each weightclass gets a custom made trophy. Winner in each weightclass gets 50K cash prize into their manager account. (Could be 100K if the org makes money between now and the end of the tournament) I will also be doing a few smaller awards such as KO, Sub and Fight of the Tournament. The winner in each weightclass gets a guaranteed shot at the champion in their division at the org's biggest event of the year (The Pinnacle) The Pinnacle will be held in March 2017, and every belt in the organisation will be on the line, making up the main card. Writeups will be top quality, with previews and reviews after every round of the tournament. Matchups will be made using a randomiser, chance is the fairest way. We are a little short of being able to run the tournament atm, so if you guys have any 300K ID fighters between 155lb and 265lb and like the format, comment or PM me in game and I'll get your guy signed to a contract.
  13. This is the new smack talk thread for the reset of SP ICON 2.0 in HILO as we have now gone to 300K ID, and the old thread became more about the ICON project. This thread is for smack talk, previews reviews, anything to do with the reset org, if you or your fighter has something to say, please bring it here
  14. Just wondering here, is there not an award for a fighter going undefeated for the entire alliance wars?
  15. Impaler is doing a top job; and running an org in HILO; I know how hard it is to get guys there. This multi sounds like a scumbag; org owners nightmare
  16. Ok, in that case we will pick Bjorn Knutsson (300166) vs Eric Wiesen (300309) and Martijn Hoogeveld (300389) vs Anti Hero (300324)
  17. So am I right in saying that in Corps vs ICON, we now have the next 2 picks? then Corp get the 4th and 5th?
  18. Hanzo Hasashi Slam RFC’s Matchmaking, rips into Tarly and Callwallader: http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/30/30w1.jpg A very fired up Hanzo Hasashi was absolutely fuming about being passed up for a title shot, and believes it may be a conspiracy by both RFC Management and Algernon Callwallader, to keep making striker vs striker matchups. “Listen, I was calling out Samwell Tarly when he was the champion, and he straight up ducked me, he knows he probably can’t even defend a rear naked choke so he lobbied for matches with other strikers, sucks for him, now he lost his belt and he’s gotta fight me anyway. Now you’ve got this other asshole, Algernon Callwallader, he only just won the belt, in a title shot that should have been mine anyway. So what does he do? I was still busy smashing my last opponent, he quickly gets a fight for himself against another striker, who I could beat without even doing a training camp. The guy has had 1 fight in the organisation, I’m dominating everybody in the division, and some can crusher gets the title shot ahead of me. I am not impressed with RFC at all, they are allowing champions to duck me, maybe they want more exciting fights, and they know that if they give me a title shot, it won’t be exciting because I will dominate any of these clowns. I will not apologise for being a dominant fighter, all of these guys will get what’s coming, Samwell Tarly, I am coming for you, I’m gonna smash you and it’s gonna be painful and demoralising. As for you other two jokers, Algernon and whoever the other guy is, you are just keeping the belt warm for me. RFC can only let you guys run from me for so long. The Scorpion is coming for you!”

  20. I understand what you're saying; but that depends on which way you look at it. In RL; there are very rare GNP finishes. The best wrestlers in MMA; if you look at Cormier; Askren and GSP to name a few, they have hardly any GNP finishes in recent years
  21. Considering he took Hurmio down a few times, I guess he should be considered; so i'll stick him in there
  22. I have stuck Pulkkinen on the list; if there's anymore you guys feel would be in there, let me in the comments
