TKO Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Oh and Mike please allow weight cutting for god sake I don't understand why you don't allow it. It's not like grappling tournaments ban it anywhere in the world I had a PURE grappler who fought like 20+ times at middleweight not be able to compete in the last middleweight TWGC because his natural weight was like 194lbs. That is a serious kick in the balls. Allow weight cutting you insane bastard, there is no reason to use 'natural weight' unless you just want to piss people off Lockdown makes a very valid point. I have a fighter who I've been anxious to get into the upcoming TWGC. But if there's no weight cutting, fuhgeddaboudit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Maybe next time. I don't wanna faff about with loads of programming to advance certain people when their opponent doesn't make weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockdown Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Maybe next time. I don't wanna faff about with loads of programming to advance certain people when their opponent doesn't make weight. You realize that when you do this, a middleweight TWGC is basically only open to Welterweights etc. How many people who fight at a certain weight are actually on par or less than that weight? Everybody cuts weight. At least call it as it is, if it's a Welterweight TWGC then please go ahead and say that 99% of Welterweights are inadmissible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 We talked about it at the start and people wanted to go with natural weight then so that's what we did. I am fully aware of what that means... I'm just not really interested in reprogramming it all now as it will mean delaying it further. We can do it for the next one.

Guest Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'd change my vote, then. I forgot that they can't cut weight. Most of the guys I want to enter are about 160 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbarr72908 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 When does registration for this grappling tournament begin? After the island tournament has finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 After the island tournament has finished no that was just last time - this time will have nothing to do with the island tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbarr72908 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Aww okay sorry I am mistaken y no that was just last time - this time will have nothing to do with the island tournament. So what date will sign ups be so I don't tie my guys into fights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyM5 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 If 205 is the chosen weight, I wonder if Womba will be making an appearance? Yep, assuming the org owner OK's it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 The 145 voters should change their votes to 155. They can still enter and it is much better than facing 205ers. Also i bet a lot of 145 voters didn't read it is natural weight and not MMA weight class so they probably meant 155 anyway. Just saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 can we have a run off poll only with 205 and 155? I already changed my vote from 265 to 155 because if it's not 265 then I would rather have it at 155 than at 205. If everybody could also make that change then we could see which one will be.

Timmy Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I wish we could have both. I didn't have any suitable fighter, so I made one for 205 because that was well ahead at the time. If it changes to 155 now, I'll not be able to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Well we can run one shortly after the other, if the first one goes OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbarr72908 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Okay I'm going to accept a fight then so please more than a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 i wouldn't accept anything with a fighter you want in. we'll do 155 first, then the other one fairly quick after, if people want. i think we will set a minimum weight for the tourneys after the next one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
