Congratulations to Kalervo Kaunismieli for making it to the top of the P4P rankings. Nice to see someone else get on top of that list, maybe now Puno will actually seriously consider taking a fight. maybe this will add some spice to Puno's upcoming fight.

As a new player myself, I would say that the game is very forgiving to new players. There are leagues specifically for newly created fighters, which theoretically allows you to fight on equal footing right from the start, if you create 25 year old fighters. Examples are RISE and GLL which are currently very active. You might run into financial issues early on, but I managed to get some financial help from the community pretty easily. I believe the fight engine was tweaked less than a month ago.

Ironman Fight Club XXVIII (9th December 2017 – Hard Knocks, Los Angeles) Main Event Wolfgang Lee Roth (6-3,154 lbs) vs Brock “The Bodygaurd” Sampson (4-1, 170 lbs) Brock “The Bodygaurd” Sampson will be looking to utilize his granite chin to claim an advantage in the standup game. Sampson has already scored two KO’s with his boxing prowess and will look to add to that tally. Although he seldom attempts takedowns, he has shown himself very comfortable when taken to the ground. Wolfgang Lee Roth has a clear advantage in wrestling ability which will be key if he is to claim the win. Wolfgang’s best chance of winning will be to establish dominant ground position with his wrestling and display his tremendous ability land submissions. Wolfgang already has 6 submissions under his belt and is clearly the more experienced fighter. However, following his previous loss, he has seemed to lose all confidence in himself. Hopefully, he manages to pick himself up in time for the fight. Co-Main Event Ricky “Big Tex” Hughes (8-5, 264 lbs) vs Evgeni Lomachenko (6-5, 152 lbs) Former IFC champion Ricky “Big Tex” Hughes is looking to revive his career after a string of disappointing results. The hugely popular fighter has yet to see a fight go to the decision and will seek to utilize that aggression to finish off Lomachenko before he has the chance to take the fight to the ground. Another factor will be whether he can shake off back-to-back losses and display the swagger of his prime. Evgeni Lomachenko specializes in taking the fight to the ground and finishing it there. His quickness and solid chin will be his main tools in taking the fight to the ground, where he will have a real chance of winning. Lomachenko’s record in the IFC so far has been lacklustre however he seems to be confident in turning it around, starting with a win against the former champ. Fight 8 Iain “The CN” Tower (5-0, 275 lbs) vs Mr Kaalee (4-1, 300lbs) The battle of two young rising stars who are destined to set the IFC on fire. Iain “The CN” Tower has started his career with a bang. None of his opposition have managed to survive a single round against him. Even with the limited time we have seen him in the cage, he has managed to demonstrate a diverse skillset. Remarkably, he has already scored KO’s with his fists, legs and ground game. Mr Kaalee has already won and defended a GFO belt before his 20th birthday. He joined the IFC shortly after losing his belt and will no doubt set his sights on acquiring the IFC belt. Similarly to Tower, his fights have yet to go to the second round. He has so far been successful at softening up his opponents with a strong standup game, and finishing them with a devastating submission. At 300lbs, it is questionable whether he can sustain a high level should Tower be able to take the fight to the end. This is my pick of the fights, mark my words, these two young fighters have huge careers ahead of them. Fight 7 “Ashanti Warrior” Alambick Rana (5-0, 219lbs) vs Kenny “The Follower” Tchusuk (1-3, 265lbs) 18 year old Ashanti Warrior has been lighting up the stage with impressive performances in the clinch, earning himself 5 straight KO victories. Hailing from Senegal, he aspires to promote his unorthodox fighting style one fight at a time. Kenny “ The Follower” Tchusuk has endured a horrible performance in the inaugural New Blood Tournament, crashing out with a record of 0-3. However, the young fighter has since improved his overall game and cameback with a first round KO victory. He can cause Ashanti Warrior some real problems if he asserts his strong standup game, where Ashanti Warrior has yet to prove himself. Fight 6 Andy Bogard (5-4-1, 150lbs) vs Leonel Ventura (1-0, 265 lbs) Andy Bogard will be itching to redeem himself in the ring after coming off back-to-back TKO losses. Bogard has two potent weapons in his arsenal to score this victory. Firstly, he is the more experienced fighter by far with 10 fights under his belt. Secondly, Ventura, who weighs in at 265 lbs, will struggle to keep up with the impressive gas tank of Bogard who weighs significantly less. However, Leonel Ventura will not simply roll over to Bogard. Ventura showed off impressive power in his debut match, taking home the award for KO of the night. You get the impression that just one clean hit from Ventura is all it would take to send Bogard, who lost his last to fights by knockout, to the ground. Expect the huge difference in weight to play a big factor in this fight, will the larger and more powerful Ventura score a KO, or will his weight drag him down as the fight wears on. Fight 5 Michael “Bael” Bobeth (4-0, 185 lbs) vs Brett “The Bull” Bersten (5-4, 175 lbs) Let’s make some noise for two experienced fighters making their IFC debut’s. Michael “Bael” Bobeth has made a scorching start to his MMA career with a 4-0 record. His kicks have been particularly effective as he used them masterfully to score two consecutive KO’s. Brett “The Bull” Bersten will be looking to utilize his impressive fight IQ to gain an advantage in this bout. In particular, he will be hoping to take advantage of Bael’s susceptibility to cuts. He should have ample opportunities, as both fighters are more comfortable brawling rather than taking it to the ground. Will Bael continue unbeaten start, or will The Bull manage to exploit his weakness to cuts? Fight 4 Kirk Lazarus (1-0, 265 lbs) vs Albert Van Roy (0-2, 256 lbs) Lazarus displayed a strong ground game in his debut, winning the decision on the back of some brutalizing ground and pound whilst keeping his opponent in check. He will undoubtedly try to repeat that performance and take the battle to the ground where he has a significant advantage. Albert Van Roy has had a dismal start to his career, with an 0-2 record. However, he does possess a very solid chin, which will be a valuable asset if he can stay on his feet and brawl. Lazarus has been known to cut easily and a few lucky shots might be all it takes for the referee to end the fight. Fight 3 Alfred Touchard (4-0, 220 lbs) vs Jerome “Hands of” Steel (1-2, 279 lbs) Alfred Touchard has had success in the QFC, but will he be able to translate that dominance into the IFC? Touchard’s main asset is his speed, which allows him to takedown his opponent and utilize his devastating ground and pound game. Jerome “Hands of” Steel will want to stay on his feet and unleash his superior standup game. He was absolutely lit up in the clinch in his last fight against Joe Average and will have to step it up if he is to stand any chance in this fight. Fight 2 Anton Touchard (3-0, 170 lbs) vs Callum Kane (0-1, 170 lbs) Similarly to Alfred Touchard, Anton Touchard has yet to prove himself outside the QFC and will be looking to silence his critics in this match. He has shown his ability to takedown his opponents, however it must be concerning that he has been unable to finish his opponents after getting them there. Callum Kane is abit of an unknown quantity after taking a quick loss to Ashanti Warrior in his debut match. Kane will be looking to showcase his abilities in this fight and prove that he has what it takes. Fight 1 Hennig Muller (0-1, 184 lbs) vs Ivashin Dmitrievich (1-2,240 lbs) Hennig Muller took a quick debut loss after taking a hit from the much larger Tan Han Tuong. Once again, Muller opts to take a fight where he is much lighter. Muller’s best bet in this fight is to take advantage of Dmitrievich’s weak ground game to gain the upperhand. The promise Dmitrievich showed in his debut match against One fourtytwo is starting to fade after two disappointing first round losses. Youth is still on Dmitrievich’s side as he is 19 years old and can still develop, although you wonder how much patience his manager will have should he fail to seal the deal.

Great news! I found a mentor

I have just got someone else to be my mentor. I really appreciate your offer to help me, if only I had seen it sooner

Created an account a couple of days ago and somehow managed to score 2-1 in the QFC. Also managed to snag a Free Agent with a decent amount of cash and a contract. Please pm if you want to mentor me. EDIT: I have found myself a mentor

I am currently trying to find a mentor. Anyone who is interested in becoming a mentor should pm me!

It was a QFC, I did not actively seek out a punching bag lol

Thanks! Hope for many more to come

Sorry! I did go to the mentor page and request a mentor but I have not gotten a reply. Maybe I should try the noob forum?

Should I have done that? I am new, so I have no idea what the proper response is

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=903848 My guy took no hits in this fight, but somehow he is injured for 7 days, I guess he hit the other guy so many times that his arms hurt? Also, would like to know if injuries and stamina effect training. Should I be resting my fighters to 100% before starting training again?

Hey I don't pick the fights, but I sure am glad that it came my way
