Tyaf Daeland Puno http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/13986921674753.png Fourth born son of the Greatest Heavyweight and P4P fighter to walk the Tycoon planet, Fidel Puno. "Pacman" Puno is mentored and coached by his father, and the greatest Lightweight Fighter ever, Hakuin Ekaku. He is managed by Bradley Burns. He is the half brother of MMA Fighters - Kajun Puno -Andreus Puno Tyaf Daeland Puno was born in Manilla http://mmatycoon.com/images/flags_small/Philippines.png and raised there until age 16 when he moved to Tokyo & LA living, training and breathing MMA. He earned multiple BJJ, Muay Thai, Judo, Wrestling & Boxing Championships before the age of 18. On his 18th Birthday old school manager Jus Dawg took over as Pacman's management, but they fell out shortly after when Jus Dawg took a break from the sport. He will be missed. At age 20, Pacman quickly teamed up with Bradley Burns, and Elite Canadian Bruins Gym in Montreal and under his new management his potential shined. Pacman currently has a house in Manilla, Montreal & New York but prefers to walk and bus rather than drive or fly. He regularly runs food drives and and built New York & Montreal Homeless Shelters. Pacman made his MMA debut at GAMMA Kids NY and took a dominating Unanimous Decision of Jimmy Snuka. Pacman displayed excellent boxing, take-downs and ground work. His next opponent was a former ECFC Champion Fez Pez. Puno stunned the world with one of the best KO's of the year, which left Pez face-planted and out for the count. A huge defining statement for Young Puno. PUNO BRUTALLY KO'S FEZ PEZ! http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/313575/1.gif Puno then fought Olympics Gold Medalist Tony Ramos and was TKO'd in the 2nd round after a controversial stoppage and Ramos left the org after Puno was given a rematch contract and Ramos refused. Puno was then given the Title shot against long time Champ and the best 255k+ ID in the world, Lukasz Wolek. After 5 rounds, the fight was close, but clearly Wolek had edged it out. Both men stood respectful and congratulated each-other on a crazy fight. Pacman said after the loss "This was the best thing to ever happen to me, I'll be so much better next time forward..This is good for me, my father said you must fall down to stand up again." Puno came back and signed with ROV & defeated World Class opponent Damien Redman, who was the former ROV Champion. Puno was a large underdog in the fight but won the exchanges and during one of many wild scrambles Puno was able to snatch up a vicious kneebar for the victory near the end of rd 1. http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_assets/945851/7.gif

According to my search results and subsequent research it was been 2/3 years since this topic was even brought up and I know a lot has changed over the past few years. Who do you think would/should go down as the greatest manager to ever sit down to the game and flick his golden finger across his keyboard made of silk and grace. Is it Avon Barksdale? The first real best manager of his time? Or maybe times haven't changed that much at all. Maybe it's Avon's successor... Maybe after all these years it's still the former multiple time No. 1 manager in the game and current #3, Lance Templeton. It's quiet clear in recent years Dino has taken up the mantle as the top manager in the game but it seems Lance has always been right there, no matter the era. and ironically enough all three of these guys are from Convicted, you golden bastards. With 2016 approaching and almost 3 years since the last real discussion on this... Who is the greatest of them all? I also have another question.. for those who have been around since 2009.. How much has the landscape really changed these past few years?
