Even if your fighters become free agents, if the fight is already booked and they are on weight they will still fight.

One of the RHOE champs managed it. Alan "AlFlo" Florian is both the 145 and the 155 champ.

Man, at least he could put some effort in.

Looks like a specialized BJJ gym just opened up. http://www.mmatycoon.com/gympublic.php?gmid=377 Looks like it's 2/3 brown so far.

Favorites and underdogs are picked by who bookies think people will bet on, not who is actually better. Sometimes you get wacky odds if a lesser known but superior fighter is facing off against a well known opponent. The face recognition person gets the odds set in his favor purely because people will bet on him on a basis of knowing their name. That's not the case here but is somewhat similar - Nog and T. Silva were both coming off horrible looking performances. Nog looked half dead against Mir and Silva got messily devoured by Machida. So the bookmakers looked at that and thought that most people would bet against those guys. And of course people are going to go for Randy. No explanation on Jardine though, people just like that goofy looking guy, I guess.

I wish something like this was available in Rio, I'd hit that gym up. It just seems so much more efficient to have several gyms with specialties instead of one general gym.

Please, their technique is weak. It's much more like this.

You should be more concerned with the fight rating. No one will care about decisions if you are still putting on good fights.

His training was so hardcore that it broke youtube! That guy is a fearsome competitor.

White belts can win.

That's some daring stuff, OrangeKing.

You are wrong. PRIDE's system was to automatically give the decision to the Japanese fighter. If there was no Japanese fighter, give the decision to Dan Henderson.

There have been other fights like this. It's what happens when a fighter has themselves set to high counter, but consistently doesn't make the roll to actually throw a counter punch. They just end up stuffing a lot of takedowns and never actually engaging in any action.

People are just having fun, and some people really enjoy the roleplaying aspect. For the rest of us, it's pretty easy to not read it.

I can't speak to multiple account abuse (can you see IPs to check that?), but I have noticed a few gyms that seem to otherwise fit this criteria. http://www.mmatycoon.com/gympublic.php?gmid=316 http://www.mmatycoon.com/gympublic.php?gmid=298 http://www.mmatycoon.com/gympublic.php?gmid=243 - Low weekly fees. - No coaches. - Low number of player slots, all of which are filled. - Heavy duty sparring schedule. I'm not saying these guys are abusing and definitely not making accusations about account sharing, I just think these gyms could be looked at closely.
