itakebrides 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? Someone might have to host a emergency one because the people who usually who do it or to busy in real life.If i knew how to do one i would i not great at editing or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyScat Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 EPL 10: Week One ...............................  The sides have been drawn, and the matches are set. With only hours to go, I'm going to slide this preview in at the last possible moment.  With so many talented managers and fighters on these cards, to walk away with a victory is to have truly earned bragging rights, both for the fighter in his division and for the managers who help them choose and implement their game plan in the fights. So, without further ado, let's take a closer look at the upcoming spectacle.  DIVISION ONE .........................  Andr De Fran vs. Abraham Donowitz  These guys are two iron-chinned warriors who are likely to keep it brawling the whole ten minutes. I feel like this fight will be decided by the judges, and will most likely go to Donowitz. De Fran is the more experienced fighter, but Donowitz has shown a greater drive to dig in deep and come out with the win, and I think we are going to see "Jewsus Christ" draw first blood in the season.   Cilian Lynch vs. Ricardo Monteban  Both of these guys are solid grapplers; it would be a shame if we didn't see a Jiu Jitsu clinic in this second match of the season. I think Monteban will edge out Lynch, and possibly even secure a submission. Ten minutes is a long time to survive on the ground with an executioner like Monteban.  John Jamison vs. Joao De Santo Cristo  John Jamison drags De Santo Cristo to the ground and puts a violent and life-altering submission on him. That's pretty much it, for this one. I can't see this fight ending with anything other than a submission victory for Jamison.  Sergey Keosayan vs. UDJ  These guys both boast middle-of-the-road records, and on paper it could really go either way. I think that the deciding factor here will be UDJ's propensity for getting the knockout. If Keosayan can get the fight to the ground, establish control, and keep it there he may be able to grind out a marginal victory; however, that's not likely to happen, and I see UDJ coming out of this fight with a TKO victory.  Lorne Malvo vs. Vinny Hopkins  This is my pick for potential fight of the night. Malvo is a dangerous kick boxer, who has only lost when it comes down to the judges decision. Unfortunately for him, Hopkins has much more MMA experience, and a more complete tool kit. I think he will be able to keep Malvo at bay, and do enough damage in the process to win by judges decision.  DIVISION TWO ..........................  Bas Dekkers vs. Matti Teitsi  Man oh man, the undefeated Dekkers has put a lot on the line entering this tournament. Although he has faced challenging grapplers in the past, his ground game is not up to the level of a guy like Matti Teitsi. In fact, I see Teitsi handing Dekkers his first loss via this very medium.  Jacob Koch vs. Arthur Centino  Jacob Koch is a good fighter, and he does have a brawlers chance to win this fight, albeit a slim one. What I foresee with my admittedly faulty prediction slider is Centino drawing Koch out and putting a stop to this fight with a KO victory.  Charles Bronson vs. Ernesto Del Toro  Can I get my pick back for fight of the night? While both of these guys are hard hitters, Del Toro has the cage experience and the grit to get to Bronson's chin. I'm calling this fight for Del Toro by way of Knockout.  Ode Jokinen vs. Tyroil Smoochie Wallace  Jokinen does not have the power to knock Wallace out, and Wallace will eventually land a killer haymaker that will drop Jokinen in his tracks. Jokinen will want to keep this one tied up and close, but I don't see him being successful. Wallace by KO.   Pedro Lopez vs. Victor Zsasz  Can Lopez submit Zsasz? It HAS been done before. While Pedro Lopez is a terrifying submission specialist, I just have a hard time seeing the fight go that direction. And if it doesn't, Zsasz will win this fight either by knockout or attrition, but my money is on Zsasz walking away with a big KO victory.  And there you have it! Better late than never; I will have the other previews up ahead of the event so you guys have more time to argue about what I write and talk smack on my predictions. See you all tomorrow at the fights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBK16 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 One of the biggest and most surprising wins of my MMAT career so far, was worried when it hit the ground but I'm delighted to get the Decision win. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 First round was completed this morning. Lots of very close fights and only two finishes. No draws and no injuries for next round is a cause for celebration. I'll send out the fight offers when I get home from work and DC will make up a standings graphic when he gets a moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpierrecanada Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Wow, really really thought Hopkins had that decision over Malvo, but good fight... I'm actually surprised I took his power so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakePhoenix Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Today's lesson for me - don't change your strategy last minute before a fight without putting at least as much thought and analysis into it as you did your original tactics decisions.

BlakePhoenix Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 http://i.imgur.com/P3UUGUq.png Shouldn't Bronson and Wallace have -1 points in the final column, or is it the Fin column that counts and NOT the FD column? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, I'm bad about this. I always panic at the last minute and second guess myself. That's the reason I don't mess with prediction sliders.

Rambo Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Honestly had no idea the fights were 1 x 10 min round. Â Â doesn't really change much. http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/14583550676361.png Jewsus Christ will resurrect his career here or die on the cross, propped up like zombie jesus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Shouldn't Bronson and Wallace have -1 points in the final column, or is it the Fin column that counts and NOT the FD column? Fin is finishes, the total number of wins by stoppage during the tournament. FD is finish differential, the number of finish wins minus the number of finish losses a fighter has. Neither of these stats really matter(besides the extra point from a finish win), but are just extra stats to give a little more depth. The only thing that really matters is the point total and you dont lose points for losing a fight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLP Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I want to throw this out there before we get too far into the league, but I was thinking today on how to do the qualifying for the playoffs. Going with the top 8 highest point totals regardless of division is one option, the other is the top 4 of each division. The 8 highest point total tends to reward fighters who may be in a division with a couple of guys racking up long losing streaks. Thats why im leaning towards taking the top 4 from each division and seeding them based on points. If anyone feels very strongly that we should just go with the top 8 regardless of division let me know. Â I was also thinking to take the next eight fighters and having them fight a single elim tournament at the same time as the top 8. We can throw a less chunky cash prize at the manager who takes that tourney. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Top 4 from each division sounds fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
