[JLP]

Team Kaiser:

1. The Executioner Luka Beck (25). Beck comes into the competition with a record of 13-3-1. He was the runner up in the Convicted Fighter tourney, losing the title fight to the formidable Budo Rei by decision. Beck has never been finished and has recorded 7 wins by TKO. Beck is a well rounded fighter, his versatility will be a great asset to Team Kaiser in matchmaking.

2. Katsuro Sato (29)

3. Jan Dudek (30) Dudek is a world class kickboxer. He has experienced considerable success on the KT circuit, advancing to the semis in the Euro Grand Prix. The majority of his MMA career was contested in No Exit FC where Dudek went 4-1-1 in title fights at LHW. Dudek is not an especially heavy hitter, but is also hard to put away as well.

4. Viktor Kafka (27) Kafka is a well rounded fighter coming to ITFL with a record of 17-7-1. 11 wins by KO and stopped twice in 7 losses. Kafka hasn’t had any success in title bouts as of yet, but his versatility will be a definite asset. A definite up and comer and wildcard in this league format.

5. The White Wolf Geralt of Ravia (25) A striker with deadly clinch ability, Geralt of Ravia has overcome his stupid name and reputed ties to the Fillipino Mafia. He has accrued a 9-2 record against a lower level of competition than most of his teammates but is not one to be underestimated.

 

 

Syndicate Nutrition

1. Sergiy Skylar (26) This top notch grappler has an impressive 16-3 record with 11KO’s and 1 win by submission. Between Omega and SPFT Skylar has an impressive 9-1 record in title fights. He is currently the SPFT Bantamweight champion and will be defending that strap on the 23rd of February. Skylar will definitely be one of the smaller men in this tourney. He will have to use his speed and incredible grappling skills to control and push the pace.

2. ver 2.0 Latka Gravas (28) Double elite Latka Gravas brings a solid record of 21-9-1 to the ITFL. Gravas has spent the majority of his fighting career in Brutal Deluxe in Sydney. He lost his one title shot, but has consistently won fights at a top level. His last stop was in SPFT, where he went 3-1. Gravas does not have huge power, but has proven to be pretty durable.

3. Cowboy Dan Leighty (25) The baby of the Syndicate Nutrition squad, Leighty has won 12 of 18 fights with eight by KO. Leighty is very skilled for his age and looks to be a matchup nightmare for many teams in the league as his striking and clinch game are top notch and he has the wrestling skills to dictate position. This tourney could very well be a coming out party for Cowboy as he establishes himself on the Tycoon world stage.

4. On Top Toby Diaby (31) The grizzled vet of Syndicate Nutrition, Diaby is all about grappling. He has established himself as a world renowned fighter already, running up a 3-3 record in a deep and talented Ascension MW division. Diaby has finished his opponent in 14 of his 25 wins, eight times by KO and six by submission.

5. Tweedle Dee (27) The current Syndicate MW champ, Dee has an impressive 18-5-1 record. Dee is known for his heavy hands and has KO’ed 12 opponents in his short career. Dee is comfortable in all three phases of the game, giving his team a huge versatility advantage.

[JLP]

Dinooo's Donkeys

1. Tito Hopkins (32) Legendary striker Tito Hopkins fronts the donkey. He comes in with a 30-9 record with 21 big wins by KO. Hopkins has been in with some of the best fighters in the TycoonVerse, and is arguably the biggest name entered into the ITFL gauntlet. Hopkins may struggle to live up to that name as his chin and skills have seen better days, but the huge power and finishing instincts he has will make him a danger in every fight.

2. Pete Wentz (33) A well rounded fighter featuring a dangerous submission game, Wentz enters the ITFL with a respectable 23-13 record. He has tapped 10 opponents in his career and his only stoppage loss also came by submission. Wentz' versatility will make him a valued member of the Donkeys. As the oldest and smallest member of the team, strategy and skill will have to be Wentz' path to glory.

3. Dryden Mitchell (31) Mitchell is an impressive striker who has been winning at the top level for quite a while now. Mitchell is not known for finishing fights, but he has proven to be extremely durable. Mitchell is coming out of retirement and may be a top contender to scoop up the individual crown.

4. Richard Lightfoot (28) Lightfoot is the kid on a very experienced Donkey squad but still has all the skills necessary to be a force in the tourney. Lightfoot's clinch and standing skills are top notch and he has proven to be hard to take down in his career. Lightfoot has finished eight of his sixteen wins by KO and has only been finished once in a long career.

5. Nick Fury (32) Fury is one of the early favorites to take individual honors. He has an elite striking game and his defensive grappling has been impeccable so far in his long career. Fury has an impressive 21-4 record with an astounding 16 of those coming by KO. Fury has never been finished and has an incredibly impressive 12 fight winning streak coming in with 10 of those being title fights.

 

Misfit Squad

1. Artie Lange (28) A chronic overachiever with big time power, Lange is the type of fighter who can singlehandedly destroy a coaches strategy. Sadly both teams are vulnerable to this loveable flake. Lange has one of the best tycoon KO's ever, when a rocked Lange brutally KO’ed a very talented Antonio Hong. He also has some questionable losses and his manager is a balding fool. Lange has won 13 of his 14 fights by KO and has been left unconscious 6 times in a rather short career.

2. Constantine Barca (30) Boba Fett's sparring dummy, Barca is looking to get out from under the over-hyped shadow of Fett. Barca possesses formidable grappling skills and rarely gets overwhelmed standing, making him a dangerous competitor. Eleven of his 20 wins have come by submission, he makes a difficult matchup for the opposing coach as he has shown few exploitable weaknesses.

3. Jax Teller (25) A solid young striker with dangerous power, Teller enters the tourney with a 9-3 record and seven wins by KO. This will be a step up in competition for Teller, but he still has room to grow and become a contender. As the youngest member of the misfit squad, Teller will need to be careful with matchmaking to achieve success. However, his power will give him a chance in every fight.

4. Dakota Royer (36) This venerable brawler brings loads of experience and KO power to the tourney. Twenty of his 28 wins have come by KO, many of those at the top levels of competition in the TycoonVerse. This Ascension hall of famer has never shied from a challenge, I'm sure fans are salivating over the chance to see this warrior in there with some of the other big name brawlers entered.

5. Domingo Perez (30) Jalapeno brings an impressive grappling background to the cage with him. He has 2 KO and 3 submission victories to his credit and has only been finished once in his career. After a lengthy break to his career, Perez is back and training with the Davies camp in an attempt to make a run at the top of the featherweight division. Perez will have to use his speed and grappling skills to frustrate and grind out any potential larger opponents.

[JLP]

Aces of Spade

1. Andreas Reinhardt (26) Reinhardt is a grappler with brutal ground and pound. He has finished his opponent in nine of his twelve victories, showcasing his power and killer instinct. Reinhardt has developed enough of a stand up game to keep his opponent honest. He is very good at mixing strikes and TD’s landing a high percentage of both.

2. Rage Blade (35) Rage Blade is the grizzled veteran of The Aces of Spade. He has a well developed striking game and has been in the cage with many formidable opponents in his tycoon career. Blade is an active pressure fighter and is know for putting on a good show

3. Jeremy Voda (24) Another high quality grappler on Aces of Spades is Jeremy Voda. This black belt has tapped 5 opponents in his short career. Voda has enough of a striking game to keep his opponents honest until he can get the fight to the ground and work his dangerous BJJ game. Voda could be a very dangerous opponent for many of the pure strikers entered into the ITFL.

4. I.P. Daily (25) A world class boxer with a very sound defensive grappling game, IP Daily comes to us from SPNY. Daily has shown good finishing skills, ending four of his six wins by KO. Daily’s stout defensive grappling and skilled hands make him a valuable team mate as a sprawl and brawler.

5. Dan Smith (32) The heavy handed slugger Dan Smith rounds out the roster for the Aces. Smith has dynamite in his hands, he has finished an impressive thirteen of his sixteen wins by KO. Smith has also proven tough to finish, only having been stopped twice in his twenty fight career by cuts. Smith is in every fight due to his power, I am sure we will see him headhunting when matched up against a foe with a questionable chin.

Reaper Combat

1. Frank Esposito (31) Esposito is a high level striker known for his bloody battles. Win or lose, he is nearly always a bloody mess post fight. Esposito boasts a high level Muay Thai game and has been in the ring with more than a few top level fighters. Having come up short versus elite fighters he has entered the ITFL in the hopes of achieving the team glory that he has never achieved as an individual.

2. Dennis Wise (28) A high level striker on a four fight/four KO wins streak, Wise comes to the ITFL from IMMA. Wise brings heavy hands to the ring and is the most likely Reaper member to achieve individual honors.

3. Dragon Slayer (24) The least experienced member of Team Reaper is Dragon Slayer. This multifaceted fighter is a bit of an enigma. Only one fight has come outside of QFC’s making him a difficult scouting matchup. Slayer has yet to show much of an offensive ground game so he is a definite wild card in the matchup process.

4. Thomas Billington(30) Billington is a ground and pound specialist fighting coming off a respectable runner up performance in the Vicious Fighter. Billington has some educated hands, making him a tough matchup as he can threaten opponents in any facet of the game. His durability is unquestioned, Billington has never been stopped in 35 career fights.

5. Boy Bubby (23) This Aussie striker brings heavy hands along with his bad attitude. Bubby has only been to decision twice in his 12 fight career, so don’t blink when he is in the cage. Bubby has shown great power in his short career. He has to make grapplers suffer before they can take him down to be effective in this tourney.

 

[JLP]

The Fighters Pit

1. Kauno Kaalikorva (32) Kaalikorva is a well rounded veteran who relies primarily on his dangerous ground game. He has been fighting on the top level of the Tycoonverse for a long time in his career and his experience will be a big asset to him in this tourney. Kaalikorva has an impressive 10 wins by submission. The red-flag for him is his chin, Kaalikorva has been finished by strikes 9 times, but most of those losses have come against elite tycoon fighters.

2. Ogmundur Girsurrson (27) Girsurrson comes to the tourney boasting an impressive 10-1 record. He has only been the full three rounds one time in his career, Ogmundur knows how to finish. Girsurrson is primarily a striker, but the two sub victories on his record will probably give grapplers a little pause in their gameplan. This tourney will be a great way for this up and comer to make a big name for himself.

3. Karl Denke (30) "The Cannibal" is the most well known member of TFP. Denke has been in the cage with more than a few tycoon legends and sports an impressive 23-6-1 record. Denke has never been stopped and has a very well rounded skill set. He will be a hard out and difficult matchup for anyone in the tourney. Denke has to be a favorite to win the individual championship as well.

4. Deangelo Jeremetrius Vickers (25) Vickers is the first of a pair of young and talented striker that round out the TFP lineup. Vickers has spent the majority of his career swimming with sharks in Ascension. Vickers has big time power in his strikes, he has won all eight of his wins by KO, the flip side is Vickers' chin hasnt held up to the same standard. He has been KO'ed four times already. Vickers all-out fighting style has made him a fan favorite and his striking game is top notch.

5. Edward Richtofen (23) Richtofen is one of the youngest fighters entered into the tourney. He is unbeaten in his MMA career, winning all 4 fights by KO in QFC's. This is the ideal place for such an impressive young project to prove his worth. "The Butcher" already has top notch striking, his success will really be dependent on staying on his feet in this tourney.

 

Hell's Balls Fight Team

1. Kron Gracie (32) Gracie is a grizzled veteran, he sports a 25-17 record with and impressive thirteen submission wins. Gracie is well rounded and durable, he has only been finished three times in a very long career. After being away from the management of "Cool Chuck" ChuckW94 for a while, Gracie has returned to his loving embrace.

2. Levi James (23) The upstart James started his career in the deep waters of the Empire Six Million dollar tourney. Although he failed to meet the standards of that high level competition James has soldiered on and rebounded lately with a three fight winning streak in QFC. James has KO power and looks to be a pretty well rounded fighter. The lack of film on this fighter may give him the edge needed to score a few big upsets.

3. Bam Boon (25) Boon is primarily a boxer who has worked hard to round out the rest of his mma skills. Boon has shown power early in his young career. He has KO'ed his opponent in ten of his twelve wins. Boon is on a four fight win streak, the last two have been by impressive head kick.

4. Garrick Ballantyne (33) Ballantyne is an expert striker coming to the tourny from CFC. Ballantyne is 21-12 with ten wins coming by way of KO. Another fighter who has been in with some of the best of the Tycoonverse. The 33 year old is looking at making one last run at glory.

5. Pete Damato (29) Damato doesn't look like much on paper, but he is the only man to defeat the best fighter in MMATycoon today, Victor Creed. Damato took a few years off training to kick his vegemite addiction and open up a Koala farm. He is hoping to reclaim former glory and represent Australia and Hell Balls in the ITFL. Damato's obsecene power hasn't gone away, so he is still a threat at all times.

Preseason Power Poll

 

 

1. Dinooo's Donkeys

Top Fighter: Nick Fury

With a combined finish total of 67 for and 12 against Dinooo's squad is both durable and has shown the ability to put opponents away. The team has only one fighter below the age of thirty and a few fighters that are matchup nightmares.

2. Kaiser

Top Fighter: Luka Beck

Kaiser is a very well balanced team, it was very hard to pick a top fighter. I went with Beck because of competition level. Kaiser fighters have only been finished a combined four times and they have some very well rounded fighters who will be hard to match up with.

3. Syndicate Nutrition

Top Fighter: Sergei Sklyar

Syndicate's squad is pretty solid top to bottom. The youngest fighter is 26, so there will be no easy outs here. Any team that comes up against them with fighters who lack grappling skills will be in deep trouble.

4. Reaper

Top Fighter: Frank Esposito

Reaper's top of the order is pretty strong with Esposito, Billington and Wise. The two younger fighters have good potential, but are unproven. The Reaper team has lots of finishing potential but might be at a disadvantage to the more well rounded squads with the lack of maturity the have.

5. The Fighter's Pit

Top Fighter: Karl Denke

TFP's top fighter, Denke, looks to be one of the favorites to take the individuals tourney. The two younger fighters both look to be great prospects. A couple of substandard chins are the only thing keeping them being ranked much higher.

6. Misfits

Top Fighter: Constantine Barca

Misfits are deep, but don't appear to have any standout fighters. Most of these guys match a glaring weakness with a very solid strength. Based on matchups I could see them beating any team and losing to any team. They have two fighters with big time power in Lange and Royer. Barca and Dominguez are top notch grapplers.

7. Aces of Spade

Top Fighter: Dan Smith

Another deep team with no real standout fighter, I put the Aces just below the Misfits because their fighters are a little younger. The Aces don't sport any really well rounded fighters, instead they are coming in with specialists for the most part. The Aces, being so young, have the best shot at improving from fight to fight. I wouldn't be surprised to see them struggle a bit early and put on a late surge.

8. Hells Balls

Top Fighter: Garrick Ballantyne

The veterans on Hells Balls are tough, but not world beaters. HB can win at home when they make good matchups, but I think they will struggle on the road. Boon and James have the potential to come on strong towards the end of the tourney. That could do a lot to change their fortunes.

[Guest]

This is going to be fun. Hope people don't bitch out and ask to get their fighters released if they are getting smoked.

[Guest]

excited to see how this turns out.

[Guest]

Dinooo's Donkeys look weak. Not worried that he has Lance Templeton on his team. We all know Lance is going to cry like a bleeding vag once he has to go up against a wrestler. I hope whoever picks the fights against that team gives Lance's guy Nick Fury a wrestler just so my Nasdaq Stock in Kleenex goes on the upswing and I can cash in.

[Guest]

How is TFP in this? Are you sure those old asses won't keel over by the time the league is complete? How hasn't senior arthritis hindered their ability to set sliders? Weird.

[JLP]

I'll finish the rest of the team previews during the week. I did the teams that had all their fighters announced first. If you are one of the teams who hasn't confirmed your last fighter, PM Fuse and let him know as soon as you can.

[AlexiZaitev]

You forgot to mention how kafka is a total can and has an idiot for a manager.

Sometimes I just want to drive to Iowa and give you a hug.

[Umberts]

JLP, YOU HATER BRO!

[ludovik]

This is going to be Legen... wait for it... Dary! Most definitely will have a Mango or Goonies team in the next one.

[verbalkint]

~Kafka Soze!!

[Guest]

A balding fool. Classic! Lange will school all you poser wannabes here. Gable, Virt, and I are a pleasure three way nobody can handle. Not even the versatile Kafka and his bumbling manager Alexi.

[AlexiZaitev]

Sometimes I just want to drive to Iowa and give you a hug.

Haha, oh jlp your such a kidder.

I hope whoever picks the fights against that team gives Lance's guy Nick Fury a wrestler just so my Nasdaq Stock in Kleenex goes on the upswing and I can cash in.

 

Ohhhhh! A huge head kick from Burrell ! Royer is out on his feet! Burrell rushes in and throws more strikes. The ref is looking closely - Royer is covering up but the punishment is just too much and the ref steps in to stop the fight! Royer is staring into space, just thankful that the beatdown has ended. Brutal finish.

 

Rumors have it Royer struggled to remember his name after the fight. Sir Lance of Templetonshire will enjoy Royers chin.

[shortfuse122829]

Last fighter for team Aces was entered. Dan Smith

 

Still waiting on 1 more member from TFP, but they have early alzheimer's setting in....so we'll forgive them.

 

Once we get the last fighter confirmed, since the schedule is out, all HOME teams for week 1 can start PM'ing their first fight selection to Sean Mcdonnel, JLP or Skinny Vince

 

Once all fights are chosen we will start scheduling fights (as more guys sign)

 

We'll try to make a rule during the season, where you have to have all fight picks done by 9pm EST on Sunday the weekend BETWEEN events.

 

So we are not waiting til the last minute all the time and having to chase guys down

[toejam98]

It says Four Aces vs JLP, But what team is JLP i dont see them on the list?

[JLP]

Reaper Combat Wear

[JLP]

two more team previews added. I'll get the last two teams written up once we get the full roster.

[shortfuse122829]

Sorry ToeJam, I made the schedule up before i knew what JLP's team name was and I just copy pasted it into here, so I have gone through the schedule and changed his team name.

 

I am also seeking a sponsor for the misfits team as they need a company sponsor and name as well
