Guest Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Chris, go with 14 and throw the wild card fights in. Or...someone sign up for this damn thing! I think some people pussed out when they saw there were some really good fighters in. I think that's exactly what's happening. Maybe in future editions there can be different id restrictions to accommodate fighters with lower skills or even higher skills than the ones in this edition. I myself know my guy will never win this, but it's a different concept that I've never seen around here so that's motivation enough for me to want to be a part of this. Also there are quite a few awards announced, so that can also work as extra motivation. Btw, what about rewarding finishes with cash similar to what has been done in TUF this last few seasons? Doesn't really have to be anything too big, just something to keep the fighters more agressive, keep fights more exciting, and to have the lesser talented fighters aiming for something else.

Rambo Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Btw, what about rewarding finishes with cash similar to what has been done in TUF this last few seasons? Doesn't really have to be anything too big, just something to keep the fighters more agressive, keep fights more exciting, and to have the lesser talented fighters aiming for something else. One step ahead of you on that one... With the exception of the LAST 2 events, your fight is the only one on the card. What this means: The only competition for FOTN, KOTN, SOTN is your fighter and your fighters opponent. OTN awards will be 5K a piece. FOTN will be awarded to any fighters who participate in a 100% rating. Get a 100% fight rating, receive 5K, + another 5K if you finish your opponent, just like the show.

Education: high school diploma Job before fighting: I paid for a lot of my Muay Thai training in high school by cleaning the gyms after sessions for the owners and even taught fundamentals to some of the younger students. Which is funny because I'm not a very technical fighter, and looking back, I especially wasn't back then. Prankster: no What do you like to do in your free time?: I watch a lot of action movies. Expendables, Fast and the Furious and stuff like that. Someday I would love to be an action star in a movie. What do you like to do when you're bored?: Heh. I don't really have time to be bored. Training takes up a lot of my time. Even right now when I don't have a fight coming up, I still train to stay ready, get better, and to help my teammates in the gym. Personality traits: determined, confident, humble Regarding The Convicted Fighter: There are a lot of talented fighters in this tournament. It is an honor to take part in the very first season. We are making history! Win or lose, I'm coming to fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
