  1. Are there any plans to allow grappling or BJJ orgs? Or something like them, perhaps an option to have fights with grappling or BJJ rules within an org, as with KT options? I also think a game-wide competition would be cool, even if it's a one-off or yearly thing. It sort of harkens back to the early days of MMA when you had guys like Gracie or Severn coming in with solid BJJ or Wrestling...I've had mixed success with guys who are really strong in a single discipline, but I am a new manager so take it with a grain of salt.
  2. cool, thanks. Now I'm gonna rethink his strategy and see if there's any way I can best this guy.
  3. currently en route from Tokyo to St. Pete...thanks for anything you can do. Bruise "The Kowloon Killer" Lee (221418)
  4. OK, so are there going to be any allowances made for energy loss in Tokyo? I see now where there was a glitch, but now as soon as my dude gets off the plane I gotta turn him around and I don't even know if there'll be enough time to get back to Tokyo from St. Pete. HELP!
  5. K, so my guy (Bruise Lee) is in Div IV Tokyo, last night (here on the EST USA) he lost, now...he's fighting the same guy on 9/2...what the heck? Is there a glitch? Because if there isn't I need to basically get him right back on a plane and he'll be coming in with low energy since he's flown three times in the past three days. HELP!
  6. Ivan "The Siberian Tiger" Emelianenko gives post weigh-in scrum London - Ivan Emelianenko, affectionately referred to as "The Siberian Tiger," gave a rare albeit brief and impromptu presser after making weight for the latest Crucible Fights PPV set to take place Saturday night. Ivan, as aloof as ever, deflected casual questions such as "How was your flight?" and answered some interesting and provocative questions. Slated to fight Cain Vasquez, a formidable heavyweight in his own right, Emelianenko was asked if he fears his opponent's formidable wrestling game. "You mean like WWE wrestling? Because when I look at him, I see a washed up phony." Another question Ivan fielded was his strategy against Vasquez. "I think, he will be surprised, when my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu kicks in. Whether he wants to stand and bang, as you say, or take it to the ground, I will be ready, and my own surprises are ready. Maybe a spinning sweep to wheel kick? Maybe I use the force!" Ivan then took a few moments to speak freely. "I don't give a shit, if judges fuck me, or ref, with another bullshit decision, I will go, as you say, postal. Ban me for life, they might, but it'll be worth the satisfaction of beating some sense into them. Hey, man...Hey Vasquez. I'm gonna win by TKO when you can't answer my punches. I'm psychic like that. And then I shove some gulag slag in your fat mouth, like I promised. And any other of you, I will take any challenger. Next time five rounds. And maybe soon I move to superheavyweight. The Tiger is going to roar Saturday night. It's TIME!"
  7. Ivan "The Siberian Tiger" Emelianenko sat down for an interview with his manager after a hard night of Vodka guzzling after his tough loss by decision at the most recent Crucible London Event to discuss his thoughts on his most recent fight and his future in MMA. CW: Ivan,tell me about your view of the fight. IE: Long story to be made short, I take him down, again and again, he lay on his back like cheap Moscow whore, he take me down once and sit on my chest, he look good for once in fight, blind judges give him decision! Unanimous! They need to see a, how you say, gynecologist. CW: As we watch the fight replay, can you give me a more specific breakdown on the fight? What was going through your mind? I start out, I dodge his left, take him down. He tries, how you say, jedi mind trick jiu jitsu, but I stop him. He grab my hand like little kid not wanting to let go of mama because he afraid, he hold onto my right hand, so I have trouble ground pounding him. Then the ref stand us up, I take him down again, he does same thing, same standup. Then I take him down again, Mudada tries three times to make me tap, nothing. Second round, we lock up, I want none of the Muay Tuay so I break it, then straight into takedown, my opponent, he keep squeaming, he afraid, then we get stand up again. He hits me with hard overhand right enough to knock most men out, but I still standing...light on my feet, he gets first takedown halfway through whole fight. Then he just sit there...and ref ignores that I'm working to improve my position, so he stand us up. These refs, judges, they would be shot for their shit in Soviet Union. So I stuff him, take him down, he keep doubleunder hooks or wrist control just like he been doing, back to a standup, I change gameplan even though he has better clinchgame, I try to clinch, he run away like coward, throws a wild hook as he circles out, I take his ass down again. But he good, he use jedi jiu jitsu mind trips and get in mount...then he bought his ground and pound game, to that I give him credit. But I read commentary, they said, he dominated that round...bullshit. The whole fight go like this, I get takedowns, he only take me down once, he sit there like gulag slog, lands a few strikes, and judges give him unanimous decision. That, like you say in States, is bullshit So Ivan, it seems you are frustrated at the officiators and judges, right? Yes, man. If it ended Split decision...I say, maybe...big maybe. Unanimous, that's fucking bullshit. [ivan spits on the ground]. It disgusting...take an old style fighter, real fight, not this...western MMA watered down like vodka served in America. In old style fights, street fight, gulag death fights where I grew up fighting for my life since early age, rules are different...there is no decision...if you submit you coward, have hard time getting more fights, last man standing walks away, the other, well to use words of Ivan Dragoff, "if he dies, he dies." You only win by KO, submission, no bullshit. No rules. And the commentators, they must be, how you say, mentally retarded? In Soviet Russia they would have been given abortion before birth. And the ref, he keep standing up the fight. It supposedly because to make fight move along and more entertaining. Give me time to work on ground, I good at getting mount, once I in mounted crucifix I kill. And three times, three times...foolish decisions by judges. Only one decision out of 4, I tell you, honest, I lose. Other man was better fighter. Three times, I am better fighter. Well, Ivan, what are you going to do moving forward? I think I work a little on my ground and pound, and I am not best standup fighter. In Gulag, most fights end on ground. You not just trying to knock guy out you trying to kill him, so if you do knock him out or take him down, you rush in, you choke him, you beat him, you finish him. Or you score a draw, that simple. I take draws for my friends, there is no shame. I will work on my kicks, too, and maybe show world what I can do from the back what Pappy Mexicano can't. Long term, if this wussy fighting don't work out I go back to Siberia. There are no Gulags since 1992, but still fights. I don't care about money, I live to fight. You know what, you knock me out, you tap me, you win fight, I lose. But over half my fights I have lost due to decisions, three of them total bullshit, how you say, fixed maybe? No, but of course not! Ivan, what are your goals within Cruicible? I think, maybe if they allow, I put on some weight, bulk up to 280, maybe fight in heavier class. I hate the weight cuts I must make, it makes me tired. I used to walk around that heavy. But for now, Busta Smirnov or maybe Maksim Veremko, fellow Russians...I would like to fight them, I think. One other, who is nameless, is polish russian, or polaruski, as you say, they not real Russians, but if he wants fight, I fight him. Ivan, some of those men you mention are pretty formidable, what makes you think you have what it takes to win? I know Russian mindset, how they fight, train. They respectable. They come off loss, think they gonna get easy rebound win on me, they wrong...so challenge me. I get inside their head, speak to them in the language of the motherland. I adapt, I show that so far. Bring it. Ivan, the promoters have asked you to fight Cain Vasquez as your next fight, what do you have to say about that? I say yes. His boxing no match, his wrestling no match, his muay thai no match, and his whole game, no match for me. I tell you now, judges and refs fuck me again, I done. I quit. Everyone talk about Rossiya corrupt, no, man, this shit corrupt. Not the organization, they give me chance to fight, but the, how you say, regulators? Fuck them. I tell you what, I make deal with this Cain guy...I win, he eats Gulag Slag for dinner with some humble pie. Nobody knows what's in Gulag Slag, maybe some polar bear, wolf, and seal guts, fish heads, who knows...they put shit in big blender. He wins, I eat a taco. If he don't like that, if he decline, I take on anybody else...any comers...throw me in front of champion even, then when I get belt as heavy underdog, the whole world take notice. Well, Ivan, thank you for your entertaining choice of words this afternoon. We look forward to seeing you fight again, and win or lose, it's always very entertaining watching you fight. Good luck.
  8. Fair Enough. The Siberian Tiger is hungry for another victory and looking to pounce on his next unsuspecting prey. He's working on getting into the best shape he's ever been in and slowly but surely improving his skills.
  9. I am new to the org and was just reading this thread. I want to clear something up right now. There are two Ivan Emelianenkos, one at 155 and another at 265. I am the manager for the 265+ lb Ivan Emelianenko. I was about to shit a brick because I saw the "press conference" and was wondering how the hell my fighter lost a match before he even signed onto the organization. Moving on...
  10. http://mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=564554 Could someone please read this commentary and tell me how this fight was won and lost. Because the way I see it, my guy should have won. Better stats...stuffed like 6 takedowns, submission attempts, more shots landed and defended. I feel like I got screwed. I'm going to check old messages and this thread for mentor opportunities.
  11. ^ Thanks. I am actually going to go back and see who has volunteered as mentors and I'm going to take all the advice I can. I'm also going to sack one of my fighters and have someone create one with me. I will give this one more go. Lost all of my fights, just gonna step away for a couple of days and then I'll be in touch after clearing my head. I will be in touch shortly. Thanks for your generous offer of help.
  12. Probably done after 6/1. If I win one fight, I'll stay. Otherwise I'm sick and tired of bullshit split decisions, cuts, unanimous decisions, and taking the advice of seasoned veterans and not having it work. If I leave I will refund the person who made a generous donation. I'm not going to insult something I evidently don't understand...just not my cup of tea but a great opportunity for those who can figure it out. Haven't won a single fucking fight since posting this. I've made changes to the sliders, trained my fighters equally to weak areas and their opponents, only to come up short. And of course my orgs always want me to fight guys who have one or two fights but ridiculous stats because they've been around since 2012. Tired of being fucking cannon fodder Thanks for the opportunity and keep truckin. If you don't hear from me in a couple of days, I've either deleted my acccount or let it lapse.
  13. So then I shouldn't counteract primary weaknesses by giving more points in secondaries? I'm confused. Thanks. They get more points that way. Thanks for the help.
  14. I'm going to VIP up after Friday when I get paid. It's not like its that expensive and I'll try it for a few weeks and see if, with the tools available, I can do better.
  15. Thank you for your time and the analysis. At this point if Marijuana ends up 1-4 he gets sacked. I'm actually looking at turning over my entire roster. I am going to make four new fighters who are dominant in each area...however, BJJ seems to be a necessity. It seems like a white belt is useless...sure, you'll be like Brock Lesnar or Kimbo Slice until someone with decent BJJ gets you on the ground. The money doesn't seem to be an issue. I've heard it said that if you put your fighters in gyms with trainer's ratings and other fighters sparring worth way above your own, you won't improve...that it is better to pick trainers/gyms marginally above you own level. Maybe this is wrong. Right now I can afford what I believe are marginally decent gyms (although I currently am using conditioning gyms and Cozad only, I have used $250-800 gyms, some elite, in the past...I cut it out because I wasn't seeing any returns). So if it is an issue and I'm just not seeing it then feel free to send some! Otherwise, thanks for the advice alone. I spent time analyzing past fights and picked up some of your observations previously, especially the takedown attempts. It seems to me that unless you have superior (or good, whatever the term may be, let's say decent) MT head kicks, knees, and elbows are useless, and unless you have decent wrestling takedowns are pointless because you'll just waste energy. So I've tried to adapt. One thing I believe strongly in is having a decent BJJ fighter be a counter/ground bottom...because this is what BJJ is all about...using leverage, choke points, joint locks to defeat larger and stronger opponents.
