BlakePhoenix Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 "-Weekly fights (you need a decent injury rating, check your total injuries on the http://mmatycoon.com...damagetaken.php page. Anything below 6 will probably be good enough." Â So, I originally took this to mean anything below 6 days injured PER FIGHT will probably be good enough, but upon re-reading it, it looks like you are saying over the entire course of my fighter's career his TOTAL injuries all added together should be less than 6 days . . but that seems pretty extreme. Could you please clarify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please clarify? Your initial thought was correct. The 6 number refers to the per fight total. The fighter I am using shows up like this: Â Lorne Malvo (26) 17 92 days (5.41 per fight) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakePhoenix Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm curious - what's the reasoning behind having one 10 minute round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm curious - what's the reasoning behind having one 10 minute round? 10 minutes to avoid injuries and one round to avoid draws as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I sent out three more contracts tonight to free fighters, 13 have signed already. 3 fighters have fights in the next couple days and one guy is signed to another org with no fight scheduled. If you are the manager of one of those 4 fighters please message me as soon as you are free. Â I'll try and get the scheduling done this weekend. Barring any unforeseen difficulties we will be starting May 4th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I used a randomizer to sort the initial signup list getting this result: 15. Ricardo Monteban 2. Abraham Donowitz 17. Andr De Fran 5. Cilian Lynch 7. John Jamison 10. Sergey Keosayan 1. Lorne Malvo 6. Vinny Hopkins 9. Underestimated Dillashaw Junior 8. Joao De Santo Cristo 18. Ernesto Del Toro 13. Tyroil Smoochie Wallace 16. Victor Zsasz 19. Pedro Lopez 14. Ode Jokinen 3. Charles Bronson 12. Jacob Koch 4. Bas Dekkers 11. Matti Teitsi 20. Arthur Centino The first ten names will comprise Division 1 and the remaining ten fighters will be placed in Division 2. I will edit the 2nd post to reflect the two new groups and get a schedule made today (hopefully). The schedule will have everyone fight everyone in their division once and one wildcard round with a fight against the same ranked fighter in the opposite division. i.e. #1 vs #1, #2 vs #2 and so on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBK16 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'll release Jamison from his contract straight after his fight on the 22nd. Â Â Looking forward to getting this started. Already fighting Lance in Round 1 of the ITFL, so it's gonna be a great test for me to fight him in Round 1 of EPL as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyScat Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hey guys! Tony Scatero here with a preview for the season opener of EPL 10, and it's looking like another great season in the making. Managers were clamoring to get their fighters into the league this season, and the twenty fighter capacity was reached with a quickness. Everyone knows how it works, so we will get right to the fighters. This season, the EPL has chosen to go with featherweights, so we anticipate some fast and violent behavior inside the cage. And here are the men who are going to bring it:  "The" Ricardo Monteban Mgr: Harry Bagodonuts  At 16-6 in his pro career, Monteban has proven himself a dangerous grappler. Although he is coming off of a decision loss at UPG 27, Monteban has traditionally rallied from his losses with a series of wins.  Andr De Fran Mgr: Blunts Allday  De Fran is a grizzled veteran of the fight game, and has definitely earned a place in this season. However, if he fails to perform at this level it could very well spell the end of his career. Although he recently went on a losing skid, De Fran is a brawling fighter with the ability to end any fight in a flurry, if he chooses to explode. We will see which version of him shows up to EPL 10.  Abraham "Jewsus Christ" Donowitz Mgr: Chris Karter  Donowitz is a tough featherweight who isn't scared to go the distance in his fights, although that won't be as much of a factor in one ten-minute round. He had a good run as the Insanity champion, but has failed to gain traction since then, going back and forth on wins and losses since his title run. Still, he is a savage competitor, and the EPL may be what he needs to get back on track.   Cilian "Lawless" Lynch Mgr: Mr. Wolf  Lynch is a well-rounded fighter, but he has yet to really prove himself consistently. Having only recently come under new management, he is hoping to solidify his place as a potentially dominant featherweight. Well-rounded and versatile, he will make the playoffs this season if he finishes fights; unfortunately, he has had mixed results when his fights are decided by the judges.  "The Grim Reaper" John Jamison Mgr: Mega Jug  John Jamison is 32-25-2. That is not impressive. What is impressive, however, is that in over fifty fights, he has never been knocked out. Not a knockout, not a technical knockout, not a referee stoppage, no loss to cuts; the man is a tank, and he will be hard to finish in under ten minutes.  Sergey Keosayan Mgr: Klatz Matz  Keosayan is a respectable grappler, and a veteran of the ITFL, so he has participated in a tournament style format before. This may prove to be an advantage for him, as he is experienced in planning more than one fight ahead in the league. He and his manager are hoping this pays off and gets him through to the playoffs.  Lorne Malvo Mgr: Johnny Lee  Malvo is nasty, undefeated in kickboxing and 11-3 in MMA, he has never been knocked out or submitted. The EPL is a chance for him to really plant himself down as one of the top featherweights in the world.  Vinny "The Crow" Hopkins Mgr: Bradley Burns  Hopkins was a boxing prodigy, undefeated as an amateur and running riot through the international tournament scene. Since switching to MMA he has had mixed success, but nobody can deny that his hands are dangerous, and a fight with him is always going to be a dangerous proposition.   Underestimated "Snake In The Grass" Dillashaw Jr. Mgr: Blake Phoenix  Hereafter known as UDJ, Dillashaw has had some success since coming under the wing of Blake Phoenix and the coaches at Strike Zone KT. Outspoken in the media, UDJ should be fun to watch this season, and a welcome member to the cast of EPL 10.   Joao De Santo Cristo Mgr: Rodrigo Costa  I don't have time to write his full name, for christ's sake I gotta do twenty rundowns here. JDSC is a relative newcomer to the fight game. He is deciding to jump right into the fire, so I guess we will see if he has what it takes to run with the big dogs. He's far from counted out, but he's definitely the dark horse of his division.  Charles "The Harmonica" Bronson Mgr: Bjorn O'Donnel  Bronson is no doubt a monster, although his chin is suspect; all four of his losses have come by way of knockout. That being said, his chin has been hard to find, and he has won three times as many fights as he has lost. He should be a contender this season, as he always brings a good fight and has proven his will to win.  Bas Dekkers Mgr: Mickey Hart  Dekkers is undefeated after eight professional mma fights. A Muay Thai champion as an amateur, he lost his only professional kickboxing bout, but has gone on to a perfect MMA career. It will be interesting to see if he can continue his streak through EPL 10.  "Knocks You Out" Matti Teitsi Mgr: Zenaral Mänätzer  Teitsi has indeed knocked people out; over two-thirds of his victories have come by way of this medium. However, he has also been stopped in a variety of different ways, so it will be interesting to see how he comes at this league. His aggressive style may very well play to his favor in the one-round format.   Jacob "Slob" Koch Mgr: Grant Brophy  Koch was looking down the dark barrel of the end of his career when he was picked up by Grant Brophy. Since then, something has gone right, so hopefully he can carry the momentum of his first win in a long time into EPL 10.  Tyroil Smoochie Wallace Mgr: Bear Stevenson  Say his whole name when you talk about him: Tyroil Smoochie Wallace. That's not a fucking nickname, it's what you call him. Wallace was one time SFC champion, but since then has gone on to do, well, not much. However, he has managed to win enough to stay relevant, and this may be his chance to put himself back into the top of his division.   Ode "Trauma" Jokinen Mgr: Billy Arseworth  Jokinen, of the legendary Jokinen fighting family, has a lot to live up to. So far, he has failed to gain the recognition and stature of the other Jokinen fighters, and he was released by family founder Opa midway through his career. He just may be able to use the EPL to finally get the recognition that came much earlier for the rest of his family.  Victor "The Death Rider" Zsasz Mgr: The Clown Prince of Crime  The dude's whole bio is Tupac lyrics. He's named after one of the baddest comic characters of all time. And he's had like fifty billion fights. I feel sorry for the guys who have to fight Zsasz.  Ernesto "Bananas" Del Toro Mgr: Michael Knight  Del Toro is a forty-eight (!) fight veteran, and he has won 33 of them. That's a lot, in case you're counting. Statistically, he has good chance of winning this season; we will have to see if he lives up to the hype.  Pedro "The Monster of the Andes" Lopez Mgr: Anti Kristus  Lopez has broken up his last four losses with only one win. Once a phenomenal grappler, it remains to be seen if he will be able to turn his fortune around and start putting Ws on the board. Regardless, he is one of the underdogs coming into this season.   Arthur "Longshot" Centino Mgr: Lance Templeton  A 12-3 fighter, recently picked up by a manager whose name is always in the running for GOAT, and you just might have a contender. It will be interesting to see what Templeton does with this fighter, and if whatever he saw in him will pay off in the big cage at Ascension.  And there they are: All of the competitors of EPL 10. With opening day only weeks away, I know everyone is as anxious as I am to get it started. Join me next time for a full preview and predictions for the first round of fights, and an even closer look at some of the world's greatest featherweights in EPL 10! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyScat Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Yeah, it's going to be fun to do the writing for this. I'm excited to see how it plays out; the top guys are pretty evenly matched, and there are no clear favorites.

TonyScat Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 The thing is, even the underdogs have proven themselves capable of beating opponents that look better on paper, so it's really hard to call. It should be a fun season. Could I get in on the podcast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
