Shards Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Went with the old one, mainly because it feels like you have a pretty fair time investment here and running an org can find a way to catch up to you, so mostly just me suggesting this is a pretty small detail, it being worth the effort is up to you. I like it and I wouldn't be hurt if you kept with it but in terms of things being done with the org it's pretty low priority to me and it wouldn't hurt to be the first thing that disappears if you find time becomes more limited. Having the guys you have on staff may also free up the time, I guess I don't really care one way or the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew1221 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Waiting on a review Wes! Connor may have lost to Aztec, which btw, gratz on a hell of a fight and a hell of a fighter.

From the looks of it, Greg unofficially won that first round too, which is another first for an opponent of Aztec! Very great fight!

Neondragon Posted October 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 - Checkmate Championship 11 Preview - http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/160167680620201002_181310.jpg In our MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING, we will see a Heavyweight World Championship clash between reigning defending #2 ranked Pound for pound Champion Bubba Wallace (11-0)(3-0 in CC) take on his toughest opponent to date in #7 pound for pound and #1 ranked contender Jax Chambers (7-1)(4-0 in CC) Wallace has a chance to make Checkmate with this bout by being the first Checkmate Heavyweight Champion to successfully defend his belt 2 times! Wallace is coming off his spectacular performance over top-ranked contender Tank Abbott Tribute who was a perfect 6-0 at the time. Wallace had a rocky start to that fight, unofficially losing the first round by just a hair, but then he came out in the second round and showed why he was and still is the champion, he landed some nasty shots that caused a gruesome cut that had the referee called in and he ultimately called the fight right there, and luckily for Tank because Bubba was not gonna let him off the chain anytime soon. Wallace wants to avoid a bloodbath this time around though and try to make sure he does everything perfectly and gets his opponent out of there quickly like he did to win the Checkmate Heavyweight Belt against Anton Gardner with a 9 second KO, because his opponent this time will be like none other he has faced before, and if Bubba even makes the slightest mistake he might just have to say goodbye to not only his belt but also his consciousness because Jax Chambers has got some serious knockout power. The heavy-handed Canadian Jax Chambers is on a sky-high for his pro career and feels like no one else in the division besides the champ can come close to matching his skillset, and so far that has held up perfectly, since losing his pro-MMA debut Jax has gone a perfect 7 for 7, 2 of those being under the bright lights of Conquest, and 4 of those being in Checkmate, where he has showcased some of the most devastating knockout power we have seen. He has taken out the likes of, Former Conquest Champion Jingky Bacolod (KO-RD#1-3:50), Former Conquest Title Challenger Augustin Cauchy (KO-RD#1-0:48), The former and inaugural Heavyweight Checkmate Champion Jon Nolan (Submission(Strikes)-RD#1-4:25), and most recently a short and sweet KO finish in just 1:37 over Mike Kownacki who was a perfect 8-0 at the time. Jax has some of the heaviest hands in the division and he knows how to use them. With that being said, so does his opponent, both men have finished all of their fights by way of TKO/KO within the first or second round. A combined 18 fight win streak and a perfect 100% finishing rate for both men make this a fight one you do not wanna miss! Our Co-Main event will be for the World Middleweight Championship when #5 ranked P4P and middleweight Champ Manco "The Good" Unknown (8-1)(4-0) looks to defend his belt against the undefeated #1 contender Mitch Malone (4-0)(4-0) The champ Unknown has done anything but be unknown as his last name states, in fact, he has made quite the name for himself in Checkmate, taking out some of the greats in the division. Manco has taken out some very tough competition such as Roku Takenaka, Former and inaugural Middleweight Checkmate Champion One Wonder, and First Name twice! Manco is currently #5 P4P and has looked every part of unstoppable in Checkmate so far, finishing all 4 of his bouts inside the promotion. Manco has a very well rounded skill set, he has finished half of his fights by way of TKO/KO and the other half by submission, he can truly do it all! Manco has already successfully defended his belt once back at Checkmate Championship 7 against First Name and now he will look to do it again against an undefeated prospect. Mitch Malone has gone a perfect 4-0 so far in his pro career and has unofficially never lost a round, I say unofficially because he has never seen the scorecards, he has finished all 4 of his bouts by way of TKO/KO. Malone hails from Stockton USA and currently resides and trains in Las Vegas. Malone has come a long way since debuting with Checkmate back at Checkmate Championship 2 and has not had one disappointing performance to date, he has taken out some of the superstars on his division, He is the only man to have ever beaten up and comer #5 ranked contender Obama Filth, who we will see fight on this card as well. However Malone's biggest victory came in his last bout against the Former Champ One Wonder, where Malone scored a 3rd round TKO stoppage over one of the greats to earn him this title shot, and now Malone looks to take full advantage and show the world why he deserves to be called the king of the middleweights! Both men share wins over One Wonder and Roku Takenaka. Manco Unknown finished both in a combined time of 7:59. Mitch Malone finished both in 21:22. Will going those extra rounds with tough competition help Malone get the victory over the champ? Or will Manco get an early finish and become the first man to defeat Malone?! (185) - #4 Bhishma Chontamenti (4-2)(3-0 in CC) vs #5 Obama "The Chinese" Filth (3-1)(2-1 in CC) With the middleweight belt being on the line in the co-main event, this high caliber middleweight bout could determine who gets the next title shot! (155) - #3 Manja "Picassso" Sha (5-3)(2-2 in CC) vs #6 Kaino Ukkonen (3-1)(2-1 in CC) Both men are coming off the biggest wins of their careers, and with neither of them have faced the champion yet, a big win could put them in the talks for a title shot! (155) - #2 Paulo "The Beast" Correia (5-1)(2-1 in CC) vs #4 Simon Busch (5-2)(1-2 in CC) Two of the very best lightweights that are both looking to get back in the win column with a huge divisional win! (265) - #6 Mike "Hammer" Kownacki (8-1)(2-1 in CC) vs Ashwin Tyson (1-0)(0-0 in CC)(1-0 in KT) Kownacki is coming off the first loss in his pro career, Tyson is coming off the first fight of his promising career, who will take it? The up and comer? Or the vet? (170) - #7 Jorge Adesanya (4-4)(4-3) vs Pedro Vela (4-4)(2-3 in CC) Both men were apart of the Knight Battle Tournament and now both men will look to pick up a big win at the expense of the other! (205) - Clinch King "Razor" Smash Machine (4-3)(4-3 in CC) vs Gilberto Silva (5-5)(2-1 in CC) The king has returned? After 3 back to back losses Machine wanted some time to train and work on his gaps, and who better to welcome him back than KO artist Gilberto Silva?! (265) - Dalton Swas (3-2)(2-2 in CC) vs Admir Bosnic (6-5)(0-1 in CC) A heavyweight bout between two men that will be looking for the finish every opportunity they get! (170) - Alec Wolfe (0-1)(0-0 in CC) vs Blackout Mane (2-3) (0-2 in CC) Wolfe will be making his highly anticipated Checkmate debut against Blackout Mane, who has faced some very stiff competition so far in Checkmate but looks to get back to his winning ways, however, a win over Wolfe will be no easy task. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neondragon Posted October 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 - Checkmate Fight Night 12 Spotlight Preview - http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1602022423Logopit_1602022294118.jpg In our MAIN EVENT OF THE NIGHT we will have a ranked Light-Heavyweight header between #1 ranked in his division and P4P #7 ranked "Lord" Lukasz Wieczorek (7-2)(6-1 in CC)(FC) take on a man that's hungry for a title shot in #4 ranked Zane "The Bedtime Story" Alexander (9-2)(3-1 in CC) Wieczorek is the former and Inaugural Light-Heavyweight Checkmate Champion, he got that badge by winning the 205 bracket for the "Hunting Gold" tournament, where he was in a bracket full of undefeated fighters and he was the only one that wasn't undefeated and I think fans underestimated him, which only made him fight harder. His first-round bout was against the monster that is Gabriel Creed, and I have to say, I personally was genuinely shocked when I saw Wieczorek had beaten Creed, not because I didn't think Wieczorek had the skills to do so, but it was the fact of how dominate Creed had looked in his fights before his outing with Wieczorek. After handing Creed his one and only current loss in MMA he then went on to face perfect 7-0 rising star Mason Edwards, who had a lot to say about Wieczorek leading up to the fight, even so much as to speak in Wieczorek's native language to tell him "Your destruction is inevitable, but it is part of a larger plan." (Thanks to google translate, err I mean Checkmate's very own paid in full translators for translating that message!) But the trash-talking didn't faze Wieczorek as he went on to pick up the victory by way of TKO in just under a minute in the first round. He then was on the wrong side of a unanimous decision against the current champ Blake Phoenix but has since picked up two more wins against very talented opponents in Willy Mataitai and current #3 ranked Orvar Odd Lodinkinni, and with a win over Zane, he could very well be next in line for the rematch against the only man to have beaten him inside the Checkmate cage. Zane "The Bedtime Story" Alexander burst into the Checkmate scene already being a superstar, he was the winner of the 205 division for AWC S01 where he faced some stiff competition and managers and was able to come out on top. After winning the tournament he signed with Checkmate and made his debut against current #6 ranked contender Choctaw Bloode back at Checkmate Contenders 4 on July 1st, Zane was able to pick up a Unanimous Decision victory over Bloode, he then went on to face current #3 contender and former title challenger Orvar Odd Lodinkinni, Zane came up short in that bout but didn't let him get in the way of his title shot dreams. Zane then went on to face current #7 ranked Bobby Bryant at Checkmate Fight Night 11 and was able to get another dominant Unanimous Decision win. In his most recent bout, he faced current #10 ranked Bjorn Akerfeldt who had called Zane out to fight him and Zane happily accepted, Zane defeated him also by a Unanimous Decision. Zane is probably one of the most outgoing guys in all of Checkmate's roster, you may see him in the forums talking about his party's/basketball games/workouts/feeling, or just chilling with his fans, he is anything short of boring and has put all his antics aside for this bout, which will be the most challenging fight of his whole career, you have to be 100% dialed in and focused if you want to defeat a man like Lukasz, and with his title dreams being 1 big win away I believe we will see the most determined Zane we have seen yet, which is a scary thought. Proven contender vs rising star, who takes it?! In our Co-Main event, we will have a Featherweight tilt between two talented contenders when #2 "Krazy Horse" Chase Buchanan (5-2)(3-1 in CC) faces #7 Charles Manson (6-3)(2-2 in CC) Buchanan is fresh off his title fight with current champ Magnificent Chulalongkorn, and now is looking to get back to his winning way against a fellow contender. Manson has won 2 out of his last 3 by way of Submission in the very first round, now he will look to use BJJ Black Belt knowledge against the former title challenger. We will also get to see.. (170) - #5 NoBrain Mentally (5-3)(1-2 in CC) vs #7 Darry Curtis (2-0)(1-0 in CC) Curtis is coming off his successful Checkmate debut and wants to make it a perfect 2/2 inside Checkmate! Mentally is looking to spring back after having two back to back losses and will look to capitalize on any mistakes the young undefeated fighter makes. (185) - #6 Veo "Mero" Swift (4-2)(0-0 in CC) vs #9 Kotaro Kikuta (1-2)(1-1 in CC) Veo will be making his Checkmate debut already ranked #6 in the division and he will try to prove to everyone watching why he was given that ranking. Kikuta is coming off a big win in his last bout and will look to add another big win to his resume! (185) - #7 Ispa Murska (3-4)(1-3 in CC) vs George Kane (0-1)(0-0 in CC) Murska has a win over the current champion of his division, but has struggled with some of the top contenders, and although not ranked Kane looks to be a promising future contender. (265) - Deontay DJ (3-4)(2-2 in CC) vs Sergei "The Russian Axe" MiG (2-0)(0-0 in CC) (265) - Maris "Rukis" Lakis (3-3)(1-1 in CC) vs Mariano "Fuego" Medrano (3-1)(0-0 in CC) (145) - Sammie Conner (2-2)(2-2 in CC) vs Dechlan "Slick" Tomsett (4-6)(1-3 in CC) (205) - Alen Zalac (3-3)(2-3 in CC) vs Tarmo "TRT" Rajantaka (3-3)(0-2 in CC) (145) - Walter Sobchak (2-6)(1-2 in CC) vs Leon "Cranium" Johnson (2-3)(0-3 in CC) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neondragon Posted October 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 - Checkmate Contenders 6 Preview - http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/160223291620201009_044105.jpg Checkmate Contenders 6 will be held in beautiful Amsterdam inside the Hard Knocks Arena (3,000) and will consist of 20 talented fighters, 16 of which being ranked in the top 10 of their respective divisions! With that being said let's take a closer look at all the fights we will get to see! Kicking off the card will be a pair of ranked Lightweight contenders when #6 ranked Lloque Yupanqui (2-2)(1-2 in CC) takes on #9 ranked Jamal Jameson (3-2-1)(1-2 in CC) as both men look to bounce back from a loss! Yupanqui has faced some very tough competition in his 3 fights with Checkmate, he made his debut against now #1 ranked Greg Connor, he then faced Serbian BJJ brown belt Eddie Bravo and was able to get a TKO victory in just 5 seconds in the first round and picked up a nice bonus alongside with it. He most recently took on current #4 ranked The Undertaker where he came up short by a Judge's Decision and now he will look to get back in the winner's circle by taking out a fellow ranked contender. Jameson came into Checkmate 2-0 with 1 draw, he made his debut against current #7 ranked contender Carlos Rogan and lost a close Decision, after getting his first taste of defeat he turned around and defeated Ron Sullivan by Unanimous Decision, he then took a rematch against Carlos Rogan in hopes to get his revenge, but he fell short, and now he is hungry to pick up a win and make his name known to the division! Up next will be a high-level Featherweight bout when we see #6 Carlos "The Checkmate Gatekeeper" Villarreal (6-4)(5-4 in CC) vs #10 Yair "El Pantera" Rodriguez (5-3)(1-1 in CC) Villarreal was a huge part of Checkmate's 155 division in the early days with wins over some of the top competition such as Bastian Berzerker and Edgar Bravo, and was always in firefights with the most dominate champ we have seen Cheif Aztec. Now he has moved to 145, and he made a huge splash in the division by facing the champion in his 145 debut where he essentially was dominating the champ on the unofficial scorecards before getting stopped in the 3rd round, before his last fight he changed his nickname to "The Checkmate Gatekeeper" because all of his losses at the time were to current champions, but in this fight, he will look to prove why his nickname should be "Checkmate Multidivional Prospect" by taking out a fellow 145 contender. #10 ranked Rodriguez is not looking to be a just a name on a vets resume though! He is coming off a loss to current #9 contender Ieuan Thomas, but before suffering that loss he made a successful debut with Checkmate by taking out a man that was apart of the first-ever 145 fight inside Checkmate, Pull Plugger. Rodriguez is a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and has 3 submission victories to his name that include 2 guillotines and 1 armbar, maybe he will look to add another submission victory under his belt in this bout? In our 3rd fight of the night, we will see #10 ranked Ivan Jomoney (3-2)(1-1 in CC) vs Patrick "Fighting Irish" O'Malley (3-2)(1-2 in CC) Jomoney spent the first 3 fights of his pro career fighting in an open weight division and went 2-1 before moving down to his natural weight class of 170 where he is coming off a win over Jeff Roberts by way of TKO in the first round and wants to increase his win streak to 2! After facing two absolute beasts in Potemkin Izmaylov and Logan Barrengarry O'Malley picked up his first Checkmate victory in his last bout against Checkmate vet Van Der Veer Jr back at Checkmate Championship 9 by Unanimous Decision. O'Malley has a very high-level well-rounded skill set and wants to showcase all of his skills against his ranked opponent and break into that top 10! The next fight will also be in the Welterweight division when #6 ranked Exeudo "The Frightmare" Oni (8-6)(6-4) takes on #7 ranked Alex "Never Quit" Steel Ii (3-3)(3-1 in CC) Oni has been on the Checkmate scene for quite some time now, winning 6 out of his 10 fights inside Checkmate he has proved that he can hang with some of the very best in his division and wants to defend his #6 ranking by defeating the man right under him in the rankings. Steel Ii has gone 3-1 inside Checkmate so far, his most recent victory is over #10 contender Ivan Jomoney where he got a Unanimous Decision back at Checkmate Championship 6. Steel's stats show he can be a very well rounded fighter but it seems he does prefer to stand and bang, which is probably what he will need to do against a fighter with the wrestling credentials Oni has. Our 5th bout of the evening will be in the Heavyweight division when we see Joey Hernandez (5-4)(2-2 in CC) vs Admir Bosnic (7-5)(1-1 in CC) Hernandez is coming off a win in his rubber match with Bloodsport Unknown where he picked up a TKO (Cut) win in the second round back at Checkmate Championship 10, he also has a win over Olusola Oni that he got back at Checkmate Fight Night 9. Now he will look to once again display his Sensational wrestling skills and pick up a big win against Bosnic. Bosnic is a Jiu-Jitsu Ace, all 7 of his wins have come by way of Submission, his most recent being an RNC victory over Dalton Swas back at Checkmate Championship 11, but he can tap his opponents with any submission he pleased as he has got a submission win by RNC x2, Americana x2, Kneebar, Kimura and Arm Triangle so you must protect your neck and all of your limbs if you are gonna try to grapple with Bosnic! Now we get to see a high-level Heavyweight bout when #9 "Dead Hard" David King (6-5)(1-1 in CC) takes on Jingky Bacolod (5-3)(1-3 in CC) King is usually trying to fix generators and escapes a crazy killer somewhere in the woods but he is stepping away from that to step inside the cage for a fistfight instead, he had a successful debut with Checkmate back at Checkmate Fight Night 10 against Joey Hernandez where he picked up the win in the first round by way of TKO, then went on to face undefeated and current #3 ranked contender Adam Schiff, he will now be looking to get back to his winning ways by taking out the former Conquest champ Bacolod. Bacolod came into to Checkmate being the champ on Conquest during the merge, he has faced some monsters inside the cage but don't let his Checkmate record distract you from who he has beaten inside Checkmate and in Conquest, he has beat current #10 ranked Drax Bautista, twice! He has also defeated current #4 ranked contender Agustin Cauchy, so although he has lost to some top competition you can never count him out of any fight because he has faced and beaten some of the greats! Up next is a big bout in the Middleweight division when #2 ranked Mitch Malone (4-1)(4-1 in CC) takes on #4 ranked Abayomrunkoje "The Last Bender" Oni (5-5)(4-3) Malone is coming off his unsuccessful title challenge and is looking to return in a big way by turning back Oni. Before getting locked in the cage with the champ Malone had taken out the likes of Bunta Fujiwara, Roku Takenaka, Obama Filth, and former champ One Wonder, his resume contains some of the best in the division and now he will look to add another big name by taking out Oni. "The Last Bender" is coming off two big back to back TKO/KO finished over Daniel Pawlik and most recently Edward Folayang. Oni has been apart of Checkmate since it's very early days and has fought some of the best we have seen step into the cage, he has won 4 out of his last 5 bouts, and all of those wins have been by way of TKO/KO in the very first round. Oni is now looking to chase that title shot, and with a win over the most recent challenger, it would definitely start to put his name in that mix! Next up we will see a 145 bout between the former champ and current #4 Rikuto "The Dragon" Ryuunosuke (FC)(6-2)(3-2 in CC) vs #9 ranked Ieuan "Chunky" Thomas (5-3)(3-1 in CC) Ryuunosuke is the former and Inaugural champion for Checkmate, Conquest, and HFC. He is also the winner of the 145 bracket for Checkmate's "To The Throne" tournament. Ryuunosuke is one of the best on the ground when he gets there, as 5 out of 6 of his wins have been by way of submission and he will be on the hunt for yet another big submission victory in this bout. Thomas also knows what he is doing when it comes to grappling as 4 out of his 5 wins are by submission. Thomas is currently on a two-fight win streak and is currently 3-1 inside Checkmate with his only loss being a Majority Decision against Ben Sheeran. If Thomas can manage to get the win against the former champion it would be huge for his career and solidify him as one of the top prospects in the division! Next up will be our Heavyweight Co-Main event between two men that want to start climbing their way to that title shot when we #5 Crusty Bigg "Bang" (6-2)(3-2 in CC) vs #10 Drax Bautista (4-2)(2-1 in CC) Former Title Challenger #5 ranked Crusty Bigg is coming off the biggest win of his career in his last outing where he took out former Conquest champion Jingky Bacolod by way of KO in the first round. Bigg has finished all his wins by way of TKO/KO and 5/6 in the first round, he now will be looking to add another big name to his resume by defeating the #10 ranked Drax Bautista. Bautista is truly a force to be reckoned with wherever the fight goes, with his Sensational Boxing, remarkable Muay Thai, and Wrestling, and a Brown Belt in BJJ he can truly end the fight anywhere it may go, and with those stats, he could very well be the next superstar in the heavyweight division but first, he must get past the #5 contender who has a win over the only man to beat him and start his climb up the rankings ladder! And now for our highly anticipated Welterweight Main Event! We will be honored to get to witness the #3 ranked contender Ispa Perkele (8-2)(4-2 in CC) take on the #4 ranked Potemkin Izmaylov (4-1)(4-1 in CC), Both men are well rounded so this fight could go and end anywhere! Perkele has been a well-known name in the Welterweight division ever since joining Checkmate. He is the only fighter to have been apart of two of Checkmate's tournaments, he was apart of the "Hunting Gold" tournament where he made it to the finals and fought for Checkmate's inaugural 170 title against Joad Cressbeckler. He was also apart of Checkmate's most recent tournament "Knight Battle" where he took out Exeudo Oni by way of KO in the first round of the tournament, he then lost to later crowned tournament champion Logan Barrengarry, he has since bounced back by picking up a win against Trey Wittman by way of TKO in the first round. Perkele also was the Medieval Combat 170 champion before moving over to Checkmate during the merge and has been a feared name in the division ever since! Izmaylov however will not fear Perkele for one second. The 22 Russia native was also apart of the "Knight Battle" tournament and made it to the finale by picking up a TKO win over Pedro Vela in his first-round bout then got a KO win over Trey Wittman in his second-round bout before facing Logan Barrengarry in the finale in which he didn't get his hand raised for the first time in his whole pro career, before falling at the hands of Logan, Izmaylov looked to be the next big superstar for the 170 division, and now he will look to get a huge win over the vet Perkele to prove to the masses that he is still that rising star that should be taken seriously by all of his future opponents! A hopeful prospect vs a tested vet that has beaten some of the best in the division, will there be a changing of the guard or will the vet reign his dominance once again?! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldbones Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Bjorn Akerfeldt: One of these days I'll show you all my boxing abilities but I wanted to show you all why I'm in the top 10, and I wanted to take it easy on my opponent a great boxer but after his speech clearly he took too many shots to the head because we agreed to this weeks ago and last I checked he's older than me!? So who's next, I'm ready to go again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who's next, I'm ready to go again! That was a great performance by Bjorn against a very tough opponent! Yeah that was very strange, seems like he is given a script as that is the same thing he said in his first loss. 205 had a very big night on that card so I need to check on the division and see who matches up the best then I will send out offers!
