UniConor Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 The conorcept, in the rushed words of Conor. Â 2 brackets: 155 and 205. Either 8 or 16 fighters in both. (lets say 16 for this example) Â 2 teams, Wolf vs Marky. Will pick out of the 8 lightweights and 8 lightheavyweights until they have 8 of each in their team. Â Whoever had the first pick may choose the first fight and what weight it is. Â The fights will be alternate, 155, 205, 155, 205 (for example) with a fight every Wednesday and Saturday. Be ready to fight at any time! Â The coach of the winning fighter will gain control and pick the next fight. Â After every fighter has fought, we move onto the next stage of the tournament. I will use a randomizer to pick the next brackets, team members may fight eachother! Â These fights will be on the same card and you will have a bit longer to prepare for. Â Soon, we will soon who is Tycoons Ultimate Fighter, and who is the better coach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniConor Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Just an addition, we will run the tourney with 8 LW's and 8 LHW's 4 of each on both team for speed. Â Since I can almost guarantee we will get more entries, we will be having an awesome fight in. So be prepared for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniConor Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 TUF will be hosted at Dissolution Fighting Championship - Las Vegas. A huge thank you to Kenlow73 and Jake who let me hijack their business to hold this tourney. The Tournament brackets will be held in London. Make sure you are close!

dvjmw Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Would there be anyway to have two private gyms for the fighters of the tournament. Then like TUF the fighters train together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBK16 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'm assuming that would be down to the Coaches to offer to the fighters on their team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniConor Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Would there be anyway to have two private gyms for the fighters of the tournament. Then like TUF the fighters train together. I gave this a thought before, but it would be a lot of hassle to get 2 noobs to hold 2 private gyms. Besides I want to give the coaches as much freedom as possible, so it is really down to them how they approach things as many different TUF coaches have done in the past.  Also a question for you, there is going to be a lot of writing, for each fighter in the fight ins, for the coaches opinion on every fighter, for every fighter in the build up of their fight, for the coaches and myself opinion on every fight. Etc etc  The question is, do you want me and another writer to regiment all the writing and send people interviews and that. This way it will be more organized and there is a guarantee there will be write ups for every fighter.  On the other hand, do I let every person have freedom to do and post their own writing and interviews for their fighter, freedom leads to creativity and they can really get the best character and story for their fighter. It would be a lot more like TUF interviews *speaking to the camera with no questions being asked They edit the questions out.  I am leaning towards the second one, but whats peoples opinions on this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLang Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I sent you a PM on my potential fighters.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniConor Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Replied and updated the super secret list  Just so people are aware, this tournament is gonna rely on activity and quick fights. As soon as this tournament is filled I'm gonna be booking the fight in event a week away in London, so you will have 1 week to get to London and ready to fight. After that if you're in fights will be every Wednesday and Saturday so you will have 2/3 days to accept fights and get ready.  A quick finish is essential in the fight ins, you don't wanna be down to zero energy.

Wally Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'm sad none of my fighters are able to enter, but i'm excited for the second season  On the other hand, do I let every person have freedom to do and post their own writing and interviews for their fighter, freedom leads to creativity and they can really get the best character and story for their fighter. It would be a lot more like TUF interviews *speaking to the camera with no questions being asked They edit the questions out.  I agree this is a great option ^ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniConor Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I really hope this season goes well, so we can hold a second season in the future. Â I just gotta focus on making this one is awesome first 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniConor Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Getting a lot of people ask "Whens it gonna start"  Well I can't give you an exact timeline, we have 13 out of the hopeful 32 currently and after it's filled I will wait a week so people can drop or gain weight and get to London before we have the fight ins.  I estimate 2 weeks. I don't want to wait much longer  For the heavyweights still dropping to LHW, with the blessing of your opponent. I will make your fight in fight at 265, after the fights ins there will be immediate team draft and the first fight will be announced, we will wait 1 week for the first fight. To try and avoid injuries and fatigue althought it will still be a factor. So you will have an additional 1 week to cut weight, and even then you might not be picked first so can cut weight throughout the tourney.

UniConor Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 After having a good think today, I think I have been too hasty and expecting too much for this tournament to fill up so quickly. It was rather selfish and not very thoughtful of me, for this reason I am willing to wait 1 month for people to honour fights, get up to 5 fights and make weight. Â I apologize if you have already cancelled fights or plans, but the simple truth is people have stopped signing up and most people that have asked me to consider their fighter have fights already booked well into the future to compete, doing it this way ensures a good roster of quality fighters. It will also allow lighter and heavier guys to move up and down in weightclass in accordance! Â I am not really keen on waiting longer then a month, because I don't want to lose steam and my motivation to hold this tournament, which was the reasoning for me rushing this along in the first place. Â * also just an addition, you can only have 1 fighter in each weightclasses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniConor Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Aaron Thaiguy has kindly donated 1 million tycoon dollars on behalf of http://www.fight-platform.com/ Â that boosts both prize pools up to 900k, and I will throw in an extra 200k. So winners will win 1 million each! Â Thank you Aaron! Â Keep signing up, plenty of space and time left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniConor Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 James Marley would be champ - let the 205lbers fight at 265 Hm, I'm not sure on the idea but if people are cool with it and we'll get more participants, then it's something to think about. However like I said, I don't really expect people to bulk up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of hassle and trust for possibly just 1 fighter, if more got involved I would think about it, but right now I think we'll stick to 205. If there is a lot of interest though, I'm willing to change things about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
