DFN Middleweight Grand Prix (375k+ MMA Creation Tournament)

[JudoJoker]

Rei, are you handing out bonuses for hilariously last minute come from behind finishes?

Hick Diaz has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!

Diaz is working for a submission here. He's got hold of the far side arm and he's looking for a kimura. He's cranking on the arm and he's got it! Mason is tapping out! Ouch, that looked like it hurt!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 9:57 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Hick Diaz!

“Diamond” Macka Briggs

I burst through the front door of Seventh Heaven Gentlemen’s Club in Tokyo in a panic, and am immediately set upon by security. I’m not exactly sure what they are saying to me, but an attendant keeps trying to take my temperature…fucking COVID…right. I settle down and let them verify that I don’t have a fever. 
“Jimmy, normal” the attendant says to me with a smile. 
“Yeah JIMMY-FUCKING-NORMAL, that’s my name! Where’s Macka?!” I say as I push my way past the staff. 
While on my way to the after party, I had received an anonymous phone call telling me that my fighter had been injured during his 9 second drubbing of Jordie Jordan earlier in the night. I was obviously concerned.

I spot 7 half naked women dancing around one table in particular with plumes of money being tossed in the air. I can’t yet see who’s sitting there, but it had to be Diamond. I work my way through the crowd and find Briggs huddled with 3 more beautiful women.

“Macka what the fuck?! You ok? What happened?” I press. 
“Yo General…Jimmy…easy star.” Macka says, trying to control his laughter. “I and I good star. Mi just bruk up mi hand a likkle on dat bwoys ‘ed.” he chuckles. 
“Somebody called me…” as I started, my eye was caught by Rei standing over at the bar with a big smile on his face. With a wink the promoter turns back to a lovely woman and they resume their conversation. 
“Very fucking funny.” I mutter as I scoop up a fresh bottle of Dom, pop the cork and join the celebration. “Very fucking funny.”

Well fellas history has been made, with our inaugural event completed, the results for the opening round of the DFN Middleweight Grand Prix are locked in! Electric Jamaican Macka Briggs stole the show early on with the 9 second dispatching of Jordie Jordan, bagging him a knockout of the night bonus and a place in the winner's bracket in the next round. With several slick submissions seeing success this evening, there were many potential stars in the runnings for sub of the night honours - with Hick Diaz's last second miracle kimura taking the cake. 

 

The Fight of the Night was one to remember as Toronto's Killer Mike butted heads with Texan Titus Wilder in a bout that due to the judges, unfortunately saw no winner. Because of this, our bracket will need to be rearranged as to not delay the tournament nor punish any fighter for something beyond their control. I will be moving my fighter (Jisun Roh) into the loser's bracket and allowing both Mike and Wilder to progress as if they were 1-0.  This means that two bouts for round 1 will appear different to how they actually were in the bracket. 

 

The revised and updated bracket is as follows:

 

 

Fight offers for the next round will be sent out momentarily. Good luck and happy training!

- "Nero, normal"

- "No no you are not introducing us, I don't want anything to do with the manager of my next opponent. Mac warned me of the kinda shit going on here, he'd just be trying to slip something into my drink."

Nero Hardy enters the venue where victory celebrations are already in full swing. He looks over to the table where Briggs is sitting with ladies and his manager Jimmy Normal. Shakes his head, "pfft, not much to worry about, might as well celebrate some myself".

Nero walks up to the bar where he interrupts Rei in the middle of conversation with a slap on the shoulder:

- "Hey boss, whadda you like my sub of the night?"

- "Yeah, great fight congrats, but I'm kinda busy right now", Rei says with a slight nod towards the lady he talking to.

- "Lots of work?"

- "Lots yes", his mouth say, "get lost" his eyes say.

- "Yeah, with that draw messing up your bracket.."

- "The fucking draw, right, oh shit!" Rei suddenly rushes off, already on the phone.

- "Well, hello there, you come here often?" Nero says..

 

Also DFN has issued a small post-event clarification. Sub of the night went to Diaz, absolutely not to Hardy as many in the audience thought they heard the announcer say. In fact the clarification had some more text, quoting here "...absolutely not to that lowlife flowerboy soon to be dumped in the ocean.. if it only weren't that I cannot lose a fighter from the tournament. Ehh, don't type all that stuff, you just type Hardy". All of it dutifully typed out with japanese efficiency by a DFN secretary.

Night after the fight....

Tonya walks up to Larry, "Well no cuts...no injuries...you musta' had a successful night honey", Larry throws his beer bottle narrowly missing the bartenders head. "NO YA STUPID BITCH IT WASN'T A SUCCESSFUL NIGHT AS A MATTER OF FACT!" "THIS LITTLE A-HOLE HARDY DOESNT WANNA FIGHT HE WANTS TO WRASSTLE AROUND ON THE GROUND LIKE A FAIRY PLAYING TOUCH BUTT!" With all eyes on the man in white Larry Schneider stumbles out of the saloon mumbling under his breath something about Jordie Jordan's weak chin....

[Carciofi]

The city is buzzing. The Montreal Canadiens have just advanced past the Las Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and people are amped up. I make my way through the crowded lobby of The Fairmont Queen Elizabeth where I’m greeted by the hotel manager. 
 

“Welcome Monsieur Normal! So nice to see you again!” he gushes. 
“Yeah man how you doing Francois? How ‘bout them Habs eh?” I remark, trying to make polite conversation.

I’m reminded of the fact that my lowly Maple Leafs shit the bed again this year. Toronto’s first round exit from the playoffs still stings and I’m not particularly looking forward to listening to obnoxious Montreal fans gloat, so I cut the eager Francois off mid sentence. 

”Anyway big guy, is Macka in his room?” and with a snap of Francois’ fingers a bellhop rushes over to escort me up to Le Plateau Suite.

The elevator reaches the top floor and I step out, spinning around I press a $100 into the chest of the porter to keep him on the lift. I can hear the music and smell the marijuana already  

“I’ve got it from here mon frère, merci.” 

As I reach the room, the door flings open and 3 disheveled women stagger out in various forms of dress. I step to the side like a gentleman as they giggle past me. 
“Good evening ladies.”

”Raaas…now dats what mi call a ‘at trick!” Macka exclaims with a chuckle.

”Looks like I missed the party eh? Speaking of which, you’re supposed to be training, not stick handling the locals Diamond. This isn’t a bloody vacation!” I retort. 
 

“Easy General…mi nah fear di flower gal. I ‘n I di weed killa star.” he chirps, dancing his way to the shower. 
 

“What the fuck am I gonna do with this guy?” I mutter to myself, and with a heavy sigh I snatch the smouldering blunt from the ashtray and take a deep drag before dropping it into an empty champagne bottle. “Go fucking Habs! If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.”

I feel that, hope he’s well and returns soon. Also, congrats to Nero for his staying power. Macka is currently licking his wounds and at least 9 titties in anticipation of resuming in the DFN losers bracket. 

[Dillooo]

The org just closed. Hope Rei is doing okay.

[jjsquirrel]

I hope so too. He had mentioned maybe handing it over to someone else to finish the tournament but I didn't expect this.

[JudoJoker]

This sucks

 

Hope Rei is okay. 

[gwad12345]

Bummer man

[JudoJoker]

So I'm open to starting an or to finish this tournament. But I'd want someone with tournament and/or org running experience to help me out on this one.

 

I'm not really interested in running an org full time outside of what I do with CWC but I do have some ideas for one off tournaments in the future that I would like to host.

 

Let me know if anyone wants to help or has interest in finishing this tourney!

[Xyel]

I'm up for finishing the tourney

[Dillooo]

Same here. We could finish it up in Big Money Fights if someones willing to put up the prize money?

[gwad12345]

Kind of doubt we'll get someone to put up prize money but I'm happy to keep on fighting if a home is found.

I can handle the prize money and bonus money

Fight and win money isn't gonna be great but I don't think anyone cares that much about that.

[Skenoj]

I'm willing to pay 2nd and 3rd, as well as bonus.

 

I think BMF is probably the best place to continue this since it's already a 375K org.
