So guys thought I would bring this to the forum to get a discussion going and see whats people thoughts of this debate is..... Right since my return to the game I have been speaking with Chuck(CEC Owner) and we were going back and forth over various topics. The discussion got to myself wanting to get an org going again as I have previously done. So he said that I should look to either start one or get ahead of the game and purchase an org. So Chuck spoke to Camara (then owner of FARTMMA) about purchasing the org for me. Disclaimer I never once asked Chuck to purchase org but he then purchased it for me. He can back that up. So Camara set a stipulation that we could only get org if we never changed name which we agreed to cause we didnt think the name would damage the running of the org. So current situation is I am looking to change name due to receiving backlash from the members of the game. Which include rejecting contracts based on name and also had messages once I bough org from existing fighters of org to change name as its damaging. So clearly this is hindering my ability to fully function with this org and since then Camara said "not my fault Chuck bought the toughest 340k org thats out there" which clearly tells me he knew it was struggling to attract etc. Which should have been told to us prior to buying. So what im asking is, what do people think, should I rename org as its clearly affecting the way I can improve the org and this should have been made clear by Camara before purchasing that it was struggling. Or Do I stick by the agreement that we entered before we were aware of the problems we would face going forward with the name. I want to be fair to Camara by asking people opinions and not going full out to change it

If you buy something then it's yours and you can do what you want with it. Fuck Ibrahim lol tell him to bang his hand Miss Miracle FartMMA is an embarrassing name, Camara is an embarrassment to ever stipulate such a condition. It speaks volumes about his mental capacity.

You are behaving like a spoilt brat and I think if anybody loses stock here it is you. Throwing your toys out the pram over a name. Liam asked the forums, he hasn't disrespected you, he is just gauging a reaction from an audience whilst maintaining transparency. You are acting like a fool and showing yourself up.

I love the way you removed all your fighters from fartmma the moment you werent able to cherry pick your fights anymore. What a joke

Miss Miracle is your beta account

It is yours. you are not obligated to do a damn thing at this point.

I believe we can start this and make it a new award. If not at least I made the suggestion. I will start "Tap Or Snap" Helio Kimura (217937) http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/33/33a1.jpg Best grappler of the year award. 21-2 Record in 2019.

I have a fighter who is sitting at 31 days inactivity in the XTREME Fighting org (which is closing soon). He's been sitting with a pending fight offer for at least 10+ days. However, the other manager won't accept or decline. So I decided to message him. Accept or Decline 2019-11-21 06:49:23 Will you please either accept or decline the fight offer with Cletus McDonald so that we can confirm the fight or I can get a different opponent. Thank you. Re: Accept or Decline 2019-11-21 08:24:18 Sorry i cant, its not because of you but because of the org owner. Very sorry for your inconvinience Re: Re: Accept or Decline 2019-11-21 08:52:57 C'mon man just decline it then. I really don't want to waste my time. I'm not a part of whatever issue you have with him. I just want to play the game. Re: Re: Re: Accept or Decline 2019-11-23 15:36:04 Its just a week, and there is no next event booked so you are not loosing time anyway. See you around Re: Re: Re: Re: Accept or Decline 2019-11-23 15:43:53 My inactivity is 32 days now. I could leave if youd decline. I messaged the org owner after the first reply I got but no response their either. The org owner is Aleksander Pawik (93232) The other manager is Nemanja Kavaja (12228) Both are long time players so just putting this out there so it doesnt happen to someone else

We are going to give the org back. We have decided that it would be easier on us to give it back to Camara to allow him to run it as he was. I have been gracious in all I done regarding this without saying anything against Camara, so good luck with org Camara

I am trying to be transparent as I can, I have told the story here and wanted to see peoples thoughts. Camara dont come and start saying its nothing to do with me, I run the org. I am being nice to you so deserve same back

He's the definition of cringe. Liam should just change the name and we should all stop giving this imbecile screen time.

http://mmatycoon.com/images/company_banners/1547786602RiseLongBanner.gif Road to Glory Welterweight 16 Man Tournament Progress A new champion in the 170lbs division became a step closer to being crowned with the passing of the second round just now Tournament favourite William Snowdon maintained course to the final with his second submission victory in a row. Snowdon looked to be a class apart on the ground but not before opponent Woody Wood gave him something to remember early in the first when a big knockdown left him with a nasty cut. One of the most anticipated match ups of the tournament saw former Budokai legend Bader Bull attempting one last shot at glory before father time became too much of an obstacle. Unfortunately for him he ran into an in prime "Rotten" Ronnie White who was in no mood to entertain any possible Cinderella stories at his expense and the fight ended late in the first round by TKO due to ground and pound. William Snowdon and Ronnie White will now go on to meet each other in the Bracket 1 Final to decide who moves on for a shot at the title On the other side of the tournament bracket, Mario Rossi survived the relentless takedown attempts of Conor O'Malley to win by TKO in the second. Rossi looked great on his feet and in the clinch and will definitely have some people considering putting a late bet on him to take it all. The final match of the second round pit undefeated newcomer Frank Marciano 3rd against submission wrestler and RISE veteran Mateusz Biernat. Biernat got the fight to the floor early and had his fair share of chances to put his opponent away but exceptional boxer from Brooklyn managed to stay calm, get back to his feet and finish the fight by KO before the end of round one This puts Mario Rossi and Frank Marciano 3rd on a collision course for the Bracket 2 Final and a chance to move into the final and a shot at walking away with the welterweight title FIRST ROUND Bracket 1 (1) William Snowdon v Yokuni Togashi (Oct 26th) (2) Lynn Steinheiser v Balder Bull (Oct 31st) (3) Woody Wood v Khaba Dagestanskiy (Oct 31st) (4) Ronnie White v Narek Sirakanian (Oct 19th) Bracket 2 (5) Mario Rossi v Bob Hauweg (Oct 31st) (6) Mateuz Biernat v Jihn Markell (Nov 2nd) (7) Tyrell Williams v Conner O Malley (Nov 2nd) (8) Frank Marciano 3rd v Kamakiri Yoritomo (Oct 31st) SECOND ROUND Bracket 1 (A) William Snowdon v Woody Wood (22nd Nov) (B ) Balder Bull v Ronnie White (22nd Nov) Bracket 2 (C ) Mario Rossi v Conner O Malley (22nd Nov) (D) Mateuz Biernat v Frank Marciano 3rd (22nd Nov) SEMI-FINAL Bracket Final 1 (X1) William Snowdon v Ronnie White Bracket Final 2 (X2) Mario Rossi v Frank Marciano 3rd FINAL Winner X1 v X2

RAPID FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP 54 PREVIEW BONDI OUTDOOR ARENA Carr: Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another preview for RFC! As always, I’m joined by the jovial and illustrious Furious Styles! Ball: Thank you kindly, Carr! I do appreciate your words and courteousness! Carr: You’re welcome! We have 5,750 wild and crazy people at Bondi Outdoor Arena who have brought the raucous and merchandise since this morning! Folks are anxious and they have very good reason to be! Ball: Tonight’s lineup definitely gives them just cause to act wild and crazy! Two titles are on the line tonight and the man who is quickly becoming lore around these parts, Litill Bjornsson, faces yet another challenger for his esteemed Lightweight title! Martin Eugen, another warrior who is making quite the name for himself, puts his Featherweight title on the line tonight and that fight will be nothing short of explosive! Carr: Overall, we’ll be seeing two Lightweight fights, one Featherweight fight, three Super Heavyweight fights, two Light Heavyweight fights, one Bantamweight fight, and one Middleweight fight! There will be an excellent mix of styles, body types and attitudes tonight! Ball: There’s no doubt about it, Carr! Plenty of attention will be paid here tonight as some men will improve their future while others will damage it! Carr: Let’s get to the action! First and foremost, we begin the night with a seismic blast! Litill “Mini Mountain” Bjornsson brings his incredible 29-1 record into this title defense against Seymour Hughes! The 29-year-old phenom from Iceland just continues to steamroll the competition as he seeks his thirtieth victory! That’s an incredible feat and believe me when I say La Familia is supremely amped and confident! They definitely should feel nothing else because the future hall of fame inductee is an outstanding champion! He knows how to get the job done, period and has seen every angle of approach, every speed, strength and will there is, and Hughes faces an incredible challenge and opportunity here tonight! When this man graces a card, it’s must-see action and he brings out the very best in each and every one of his opponents! Ball: Seymour “Bulldog” Hughes not only has an opportunity to win the biggest match of his young career, but the 22-year-old Stepdads representative could bring an incredible amount of hype and pride to himself and that alliance! Each and every single member of The Stepdads will be in attendance and like everyone else, they’ll be watching very intently as Hughes looks to dethrone the Lightweight king! Despite being seven years younger, shorter and lighter than the champion, his confidence is not shaken! After all, he’s fought his way to an 11-1 overall record which is outstanding! He definitely knows that his BJJ game will need to be at an elite level to withstand the capability, knowledge and power Bjornsson possesses in order for him to have any chance of scoring this major victory! However, let’s not overlook the fact that Hughes does have pop in those punches and if he can counter Bjornsson when the champ tries a shoot takedown, the tide of battle may turn in the blink of an eye! In addition, Carr, when these two locked horns at RFC Showdown in Tokyo 14, Bjornsson won by Armbar in the second round! Trust me that Hughes hasn’t forgotten about that loss! Carr: It’s vitally important for Hughes to stay calm, loose and fluid if he has any chance tonight, but the same holds true for the champion! Always poised and cerebral, he’s fully aware that Hughes could catch him on the chin if he’s not careful, but there’s no doubt he and La Familia are very well prepared for that plan of attack! Either way, Ball, this will be a fantastic fight and I’m very interested to see what approach the champion takes against such a game and capable opponent! Personally, I feel Hughes will send a ripple through the time continuum with a victory tonight! I think he has the power, speed and agility to catch Bjornsson’s chin clean when the champion tries to shoot in for the takedown, and if Bjornsson gets the takedown, Hughes has the power and skill to prevent himself from being tapped plus he’ll be able to transition well into dominant positions where he can wear the champion down before going for the submission win! Ball: Hughes has a chance, definitely, but the champion is just rolling too well to lose by submission! He has no concerns about Hughes’ submission game because the champs’ submission game is just as deep! The speed and power the champion possesses is near unfathomable and I think Hughes will get overwhelmed by both and won’t be able to prevent the takedown and will have to opt for defensive grappling more than attempts at transitions! Bjornsson will work aggressively on the ground to land strikes when they’re their while positioning himself to wear down Hughes before cinching in the submission for the win! PREDICTIONS: Ball – Bjornsson by Submission; Carr – Hughes by Submission Ball: Martin Eugen and Darrel Hill keep the tremendous excitement and energy ramped up as they step into the cage to decide the fate of the Featherweight title! Eugen, the loud and proud member of The Stepdads has scratched and clawed his way to a 22-4 record, which is fantastic! The champion is feeling himself as his 7-fight win streak indicates, but what’s even more important, in my opinion, is the fact that Eugen has a victory over Darrel Hill already from their encounter at RFC Showdown in Tokyo 25! Eugen won by TKO in the fourth round so he knows he can defeat him! Eugen is taller and heavier so I expect him to keep this fight in the standup as best as he can because that’s where he’s most effective in this fight! Carr: “Hitman” Hill, also of The Stepdads, is a very impressive 11-1 overall! The Stepdads are winners in this match either way, but we both know bragging rights are on the line as well, and that can surprisingly be a good motivator! Hill is eight years younger than the champion but has obviously proven he knows how to handle himself! In fact, his only loss is at the hands of the champion so you know this means a lot to him on many levels! If Hill is going to lighten Eugen’s championship coffers a bit then he’s going to have to drag him to the ground as fast as possible where he can be most effective! However, if Eugen doesn’t think that Hill will look to knock him out first then he’d be mistaken! Ball: I doubt Eugen is overlooking that fact, Carr! They’re alliance members and maybe they’ve even trained together, and that makes this fight that much more interesting and difficult for the both of them! There’s nothing either one of them can surprise the other with because they’re close! Inter-alliance battles always have that extra layer of interest and difficulty but that makes them very intriguing! Despite the intrigue involved, age, wisdom and combat experience, along with a championship pedigree, are very difficult to overcome, and Eugen has all of those things in his favor! Yes, Hill will be very energetic and could be very aggressive in looking for the knockout before trying to take this fight to the ground, but Eugen has been in every type of battle there is and can adjust to any given situation! He weathers the early storm and takes advantage of Hill once he slows down by locking him in the clinch and tiring him out while punishing him before knocking him out! Carr: Hill will look for the early knockout in this battle because he wants to beat Eugen at his own game while earning retribution for their first battle! I think Hill knows he can get this fight to the ground but wants to prove he’s more than just a BJJ specialist, and knocking Eugen out is one hell of a way to show that! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Hill by KO; Ball – Eugen by KO Carr: Konstantinos Nevrakis and James Smith step into the cage to see who the better man is! Nevrakis, the proud Greek from Athens, is an excellent 12-2 overall! He’s shown quite the skill level and ability in BJJ as his many submission victories attest to! He’s riding a 3-fight win streak and it’ll be interesting to see what direction his new management team takes him ever since he left The Stepdads after he defeated Coiote Magrin by Guillotine at RFC Showdown in Tokyo 27 in the second round! I know it’s unusual for a fighter to split with management after a victory but it does happen! He’s shorter and lighter than Smith so he’ll need to use that slight speed advantage as best as he can! Ball: James Smith of UnderGround Fights Enterprise is 15-8 overall so the immediate combat experience advantage is evident! Add in the fact that like Nevrakis, Smith favors the BJJ and submission game and this becomes quite interesting! Will either of these fighters try and keep this fight standing for a period of time in an attempt to throw the other man off while also looking to do some damage before trying to take this fight to the ground!? I don’t think either of these man loses any confidence if and when this fight goes to the mat so will and determination will be key in this one! Carr: Nevrakis is on a roll, Ball, and I don’t see that momentum being halted! Yes, Smith is well-versed in the submission aspect of fighting but I don’t think he can handle the physicality and aggression that Nevrakis is sure to bring! Nevrakis may opt to use a high energy output coupled with accurate strikes to keep Smith off balance and prevent him from taking this fight to the ground or locking Nevrakis in a clinch to slow the pace and land damaging strikes! Nevrakis will be able to wear the older fighter down faster and once he visibly slows, Nevrakis increases the aggression with the strikes before taking him to the mat where he makes him tap out despite his vast knowledge! Ball: Smith is the veteran in this fight and has fought some very tough battles! He knows how to handle youthful exuberance, aggression and fighters who are very skilled in BJJ and grappling, and he’s proven time and again that he can withstand it and overcome it! He’ll be able to bait Nevrakis into making a mistake by being overconfident and overaggressive, leaving himself open to stifling counterattacks that leave him stunned and dazed until Smith shoots in and takes him to the mat where he methodically breaks the young fighter down and makes him tap out for the win! PREDICTIONS: Ball – Smith by Submission; Carr – Nevrakis by Submission Ball: Luis Maestre and Ari Baba are the next to fight it out in the cage! “The Dexter Creole” Maestre is 9-2 overall, and this LEGION OF DOOM member from Colombia is a very aggressive knockout artist! He’s only had one fight go past the first round and I don’t expect that strategy or approach to change anytime soon! He embarrassed Yhorm Cinder at RFC 50 with a five-second knockout so he’s had plenty of time to get right back into the gym and continue improving himself! He and Baba are exactly the same height and weight, which is pretty unusual, especially for super heavyweights, but it is what it is! I think this will be a good old fashioned Pier 6 brawl where two behemoths stand toe-to-toe and test one another’s ability to take and give a cannon shot for a punch! Carr: I don’t expect anything less from these two bulls, Carr! “Dono” Baba is 8-4 overall and is just as aggressive as Maestre is, so it will be nothing short of a miracle if either one of these two monsters makes it out of the first round! Bones will be brutalized and blood may very well spill early and often in this battle! If either man senses he’s in trouble, don’t be surprised to see a clinch and some leaning of weight against the opponent until the man in trouble is able to regain his senses! Ball: I don’t think there’s going to be a lot of time for that, Carr! This is going to be like two Sherman tanks facing one another and unloading their ammunition! One of these giants will timber like a large tree and my guess it will be Baba because Maestre has proven he can dish out a hell of a lot before his opponents have a chance to retaliate! Aba has been dropped more times plus Maestre has that five-second win, an indication that he can probably break concrete with his fists! Baba tastes canvas tonight! Carr: Baba has a lot to prove and a win over Maestre would definitely make a lot of noise! He has the power and aggression to get the job done and he just has to be the first man to land the jaw-misaligning shot that makes Maestre’s knees weak and his legs wobble! Baba pours on the pressure and scores the knockout win! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Baba by KO; Ball – Maestre by KO Carr: Royce Gracie and Dom Severini keep the heat burning as they step into the cage! Gracie is 15-4 and the Brazilian Hybrid Fighting Alliance member has been struggling a bit lately which has resulted in a 2-fight losing streak! When Gracie is locked in he’s one of the best there is when it comes to submissions but getting the fight to the ground lately has been the main issue he’s been dealing with! Against Brady Jackson at RFC 50, he almost made it out of the first round and avoided trouble but time worked against him and he lost by TKO! He obviously knows that he has to keep his head on a swivel and his chin down to repeat the pattern and avoid a third loss in a row! Severini is taller so that works in Gracie’s favor if this fight does in fact get to the ground! Ball: Severini is an overall 6-4 and is coming off of a recent loss to John McSulley at RFC48 by unanimous decision! He’s shown the ability to turn the lights out on opponents and his speed and agility will need to be on point for this fight in order to give himself the best chance at a knockout! Aggression will also be a key element in this fight because Severini can aggressively throw strike after strike while pushing forward and locking Gracie in a clinch where I feel he has a distinct advantage! Naturally he’ll have to make sure he doesn’t get pulled into guard by Gracie but I expect he has enough strength and wherewithal to avoid that while scoring vital points and damage in the clinch! Carr: In another standup versus ground fighter battle, I think Gracie has a major advantage because of how many more fights he’s had than Severini! Gracie knows how to withstand aggression while simultaneously improving his own positioning for a takedown from the clinch or from distance, and that knowledge will be the difference in keeping his chin from getting cracked until he can take this fight to the ground where he’ll teach Severini how to make someone tap! Ball: Severini’s height and reach advantage will work to his advantage in this fight because Gracie has to come to him and try to get inside his defenses for the takedown, and as long as Severini keeps pumping that jab and landing a cross behind it, Gracie will struggle to get close while keeping unscathed! Severini can even feint some punches and land some kicks to Gracie’s body to slow him down or let Gracie miss with a takedown attempt from distance then kick him in the temple as he rebalances himself! Severini wins by knockout with power and aggression! PREDICTIONS: Ball – Severini by KO; Carr – Gracie by Submission Ball: Brady Jackson takes on Hector Zorba next! Jackson is an unblemished 6-0, very impressive, and LEGION OF DOOM is very proud of that accomplishment! During his 6-fight win streak, his fists have smashed, bashed and crashed every opponent in the first round! That aggression and power make a formidable combination! Add in the fact that Jackson is a bit taller and this is a tough situation for Zorba to be in! Carr: “Zen Master” Zorba is 8-4 overall and recently lost to Dom Severini at RFC44 forty-one seconds in the first round! That’s a painful loss to absorb at any point in time and a fighter of Zorba’s caliber definitely shouldn’t have that happen, but it did! Some members of The GBU told me that initially they had a little concern about how Zorba would do with that loss but they give him a ton of credit for snapping right back to form after that loss and he looks hungry for a fight tonight! Staying away from Jackson’s fists is priority number one and Zorba needs to get the fight to the ground as soon as possible! Ball: I have to roll with the undefeated young stallion because his confidence is soaring, his punches are exploding, and his aggression is turbo injected! I think Jackson checks Zorba’s chin very early in this fight and Jackson’s knockout power is too much! Carr: Zorba will counterattack Jackson’s punching power and aggression with intelligence, patience and explosive takedown power! Jackson’s aggression will open up the angles that Zorba needs for the takedown directly into full mount where he can rain down the hammer fists and elbows until Jackson covers up, allowing Zorba to lock in the submission for the win! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Zorba by Submission; Ball – Jackson by KO Carr: Uriah Chin and Obi Wan Kenobi cross paths yet again! Stepping into this fight with a 10-4 overall record and a recent TKO win over Chok Delarock at RFC 49 in the first round, Chin also has a previous loss to Obi Wan Kenobi when they crossed paths at RFC28 by KO in the first round! That fight is in both of their minds, I assure you, and Chin may take more risks than his previous fight to try and get Kenobi to the ground in an effort to make him tap out! He may even try to clinch with Kenobi in an effort to land some knees before takedown attempts but that’s definitely a risk because Kenobi has proven to be quite formidable in the standup! Ball: “The Master Jedi” is 6-2-3 overall and as you mentioned, he’s definitely very capable in the standup and recently earned a hard-fought split decision over Robert Grandis at RFC 49! Chin has the combat experience advantage and has shown that his fists can abruptly halt any fight so Chin will have to, pardon the pun, watch his chin! Kenobi is the taller fighter and that will help his punches and kicks be just a bit more effective, and if he’s able to throw a multitude off them with accuracy then that will bode well for him because he’ll be able to score points while keeping a safe distance from Chin plus prevent him from getting close enough for an effective takedown! The strikes will also help setup his power punches that could end this fight in the blink of an eye! Carr: Chin will aggressively go for the takedown as soon as the bell rings and I think he’ll be able to pull that off! Once he gets Kenobi to the mat, look for him to establish side control so he can sporadically land ground-and-pound before cinching in a submission for the win! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Chin by Submission; Ball – Jedi by KO Carr: Alejandro Arciniega and Fester Addams are the next combatants into the cage! “The Kraken” Arciniega is 6-3 overall and the LEGION OF DOOM member is an effective striker when he gets the momentum in a fight! He’s currently on a 2-fight losing streak and recently changed management after losing by knockout in the second round to James Fusi at RFC 49! We’ll see what his new management does with his young career because he’s only twenty-one years old and has plenty of time to adapt to a new culture and philosophy! Arciniega has a distinct height advantage and that will help in this fight against Addams! Ball: “Uncle Festerman” Addams is 6-3-1 overall and like Arciniega, he’s an effective striker and can turn the lights out with his fists! One thing Addams may do as a surprise tactic in this fight and use counter takedowns and go for a submission! I’m sure Arciniega wants to go toe-to-toe against Addams and Addams could use that as a fake tactic, if you will, to draw Arciniega in close to him then surprise him with a feint, takedown and control on the mat! Once he does that, he could make Arciniega tap out! Carr: Arciniega will end this fight with ferocity, aggressiveness and knockout power! He’ll bait Addams into keeping this fight on its feet and that will bring a smile to his new management team! What a great way to start a new relationship with management by knocking out the very first opponent! Arciniega drops Addams in the first round! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Arciniega by KO; Ball – Addams by Submission Carr: Jake Bird and Caspian Tennessen step into the cage of pain as the second-to-last fight of the night! “The Tacoma Ax-Killer” Bird is 4-1 overall, his only loss being to Athos Knox by unanimous decision at RFC Showdown in Tokyo 21! Aside from that, he’s won every fight in the first round so don’t expect that approach and aggression to change! He’s a submission specialist and the FinnFighters are sure to have him in top form for this encounter! Tennessen is a good amount taller so Bird will have an easier time locking in a submission on one of his long limbs if he gets this fight to the ground! Ball: “Viking Lord” Tennessen is 3-2 overall so he’s been struggling a bit, and this member of Cromulent Doom has won by knockout and submission, so when he’s focused, he can definitely get the job done! Problem is, Carr, even with his most recent win over Almin Hadzic by Kimura at RFC 47 in the first round, Tennessen doesn’t look interested in fighting! I know it makes no sense but that’s what I saw when I looked him in his eyes! Carr: Well, I know you know what’s happening so Bird wins this fight by submission! Ball: Bird by submission is the deal, yes! PREDICTIONS: Ball – Bird by Submission; Carr – Bird by Submission Ball: Jimrex Jaca and Bretton Pritcharf have the honor of being the final fight of the night! “The Sleeping Pill” Jaca is an even 4-4 and despite a recent loss to Ari Baba at RFC 50 in the first round by TKO, he does have a previous victory over Pritcharf at RFC 43 in the first round by TKO! Pritcharf does have an Ankle Lock victory over Jaca and that was at RFC 28 in the first round! Pritcharf is much taller than Jaca so Jaca can take advantage of that by getting inside of Pritcharf’s reach and striking defense and focus on body shots to slow down the taller man! Jaca can also wear him down by locking in a flinch and leaning his weight against Pritcharf! Carr: Pritcharf is 6-7 overall and in this fight, he’ll have to try and take this fight to the ground! He’s on a two-fight losing streak and against Yhorm Cinder, he lost in the first round by TKO at RFC 46! Despite him being 29 years old, that first-round knockout damaged him physically and mentally, at least from what I can tell! I don’t think he’ll be able to get this fight to the ground because he’s not fully vested tonight, and you know how I feel about that! Jaca wins this fight by knockout! Ball: I’ll second that motion! PREDICTIONS: Ball – Jaca by KO; Carr – Jaca by KO Ball: That’s our time folks! Thank you as always for joining us and we hope we’ve been able to bring you information you weren’t aware of, and for those of you who are placing bets, we hope you win some money from what we’ve been able to provide you with!

RAPID FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWDOWN IN TOKYO 33 PREVIEW HARD KNOCKS ARENA Xavier: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Rapid Fighting Championship preview of Showdown in Tokyo 34! I’m your host, Esiah Xavier, and as always, joining me in the booth is the gregarious Furious Styles! Styles: I can be gregarious when I choose to be, yes, so I’ll roll with that! I’m definitely gregarious when there are a bunch of cool, kick ass people around me who like to talk about and watch MMA fights, so that’s why you have the pleasure of kickin’ it with me each week, X! Xavier: I appreciate that…I think. Styles: Of course you do! We both know that being on this show with me each week is the highlight of your week each and every week! Xavier: Is that right!? Styles: You know it! Xavier: Anyway, ladies and gents, we have a fantastic lineup to discuss tonight, so without further ado, let’s get to the goods! It’s a rare event where Rapid Fighting Championship doesn’t have a title fight on the card, but that doesn’t mean anyone’s going to be disappointed! All that means is there are a lot of fighters presented with a prime opportunity to show what they’re about, what they’re capable of, and their right to a future title shot! Styles: Key positioning is on the line tonight, X, you’re absolutely right! Champions get to completely analyze future opponents right along the RFC executives to determine who’s worthy of what title shot in the future, and when! Futures will be made and broken, and every single warrior fighting tonight should know all of the potential involved! Make noise or go play with toys! Xavier: Tonight there will be two Lightweight fights, one Heavyweight fight, three Featherweight fights, two Middleweight fights, one Super Heavyweight fight, and one Light Heavyweight fight! Styles: Kickin’ off our night of beatdowns, naps, taps and snaps will be Scar Ambe and Jb Brown! “Souless” Ambe, who still doesn’t spell his own nickname right but hey, it’s a nickname and it’s his so he can spell it anyway damn way he wants to! He’s 17-8 overall and this capable member of UnderGround Fights Enterprise has been a bit back-and-forth lately with wins and losses, but his most recent fight resulted in a victory over Dequan Bowman by unanimous decision at RFC 46! The question is will he able to continue that winning momentum here tonight against Brown!? Xavier: That may prove to be difficult against the 8-year younger Brown! “The One” steps into this fight with an overall 6-2-1 record so the obvious number that jumps out immediately is the number of fights overall that these two warriors have had! Quite a discrepancy in favor of the elder Ambe but I don’t think that bothers Brown! The Cromulent Doom member is aware of what’s at stake here tonight! Not only does a victory snap his current 2-fight losing streak but it also builds the confidence he has in his BJJ skills! Both of these men favor the ground game and both are well-versed in it so if and when this fight goes to the ground, all of us will be in for one hell of a treat as tactical positioning and submissions from every angle possible will surely be witnessed! Styles: As I see it, for Brown to overcome the age and experience difference, he’s going to have to come out with his fists flying and look for the knockout, or in the very least try to land some serious punches that damage Ambe before he tries to take this fight to the ground! We all know that’s risky move against a veteran fighter but going to the ground too fast in this fight is as equally dangerous! Brown’s going to have to try and keep Ambe off balance with solid punches and maybe sporadic kicks because if he doesn’t, Ambe’s going to launch in, get the takedown and land right in dominant position! I know Brown’s a black belt but that doesn’t mean he can’t be controlled on the ground and lose vital points if this ends up going the distance! Xavier: Ambe will surely expect Brown to rush him and try to control the speed, especially immediately after the bell sounds! Ambe has napped opponents before so Brown can’t underestimate Ambe’s punching power nor can he overestimate his own chin! No one doubts Brown’s toughness, but against Ambe, taking a risk with your chin is definitely something you don’t want to do unless you’re absolutely sure you can withstand the damage he’s capable of producing! I think the veteran takes this fight because he’ll be able to withstand the initial wave of attacks that Brown launches and once Brown slows down just enough, Ambe will either clinch or shoot in for the takedown, gain dominant position with his tireless grappling knowledge and ability, and he’ll make Brown put himself in an angle that benefits Ambe to where he locks in the submission for the win! Styles: Brown wins this fight by keeping it on its feet and testing the older man’s chin, plain and simple! He may not have the overall grappling that Ambe does but Brown doesn’t worry about positioning his own body in close quarters because he can defend against ground-and-pound plus any submissions that Ambe tries! Brown will be able to transition out of any possible dominant position that Ambe establishes and hell, Brown may even want Ambe to get into a certain position so he can slap on a submission off his back that Ambe doesn’t expect and make him tap! However, I think Brown knocks him out before the fight goes to the ground! PREDICTIONS: Styles – Brown by KO; Xavier – Ambe by Submission Styles: Bryan Mayhem, great last name by the way, and Grant Alyoshin are next to square off in the cage! Mayhem, who should be sponsored by Allstate, has battled his way to an overall 14-5 record, which is quite good! His most recent victory by unanimous decision over Edward Newgate at RFC Showdown in Tokyo 18 was a good win, especially after a tough outing against the very tough Conan The Barbarian by knockout! Various LEGION OF DOOM members told me that they feel Mayhem will be able to nap Alyoshin with thunderous punches so expect to see Mayhem aggressively look for an early napout! Xavier: That’s going to be a tall order, Styles, and I mean that literally and figuratively! “Sweet Ass Knees” Alyoshin is the fighter with the very favorable height advantage tonight, plus he’s shown that he’s quite dangerous in the standup! He looked very sharp against Axel Aethelwulf at RFC50, earning a first-round knockout win, and he’s only been dropped once in his career so far, and that was at the hands of Conor The Barbarian! I think Alyoshin would salivate if Mayhem challenged him to a toe-toe-battle because Alyoshin definitely brings enough firepower to light up Mayhem’s jaw! I highly doubt Alyoshin does anything different than his usual very aggressive approach to end this fight in the first round! I bet YABAI members are praying that Mayhem rushes in headfirst so Alyoshin can unload some nasty bombs! Styles: Nasty bombs!? That sounds like something that happens in the bathroom after eating some bad food! Xavier: You know exactly what I mean, Styles! Don’t start! Styles: You know I’m right, X! Lord knows I’ve made some walls sweat with some food that didn’t exactly digest well! You’ve had the bubble guts before! Montezuma’s Revenge! The Hershey Squirts! Xavier: For God’s sake, Styles, this is a family show! Styles: It’s mostly a family show but there are kids that see blood in sports! Hell, let them learn the different names of the bombs they’ll eventually drop from bad food! Anyway, I think Mayhem surprises a lot of people tonight and catches Alyoshin off-guard with brutal counter punches and maybe a head kick or two that dazes the taller man and opens him up for one concentrated uppercut that topples him! Xavier: I definitely think Alyoshin uses his aggression, reach advantage and TNT-laced knuckles to end this fight in the first round by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Alyoshin by KO; Styles – Mayhem by KO Xavier: Daquan Bowman and Ludwig Mandrill are next into battle, and Bowman brings that Compton disposition, “Deebo” attitude, and 10-4 overall record with him! He began his career knockin’ dudes out but has shown a bit of submission ability lately, and that’s bad news for Mandrill! Del Werthers learned firsthand what kind of submission skills Bowman’s beginning to develop and if he continues at this pace, not only will his fists need to be taken into account but taking him to the ground may not be as safe, if you will, as it was before! Bowman is lighter than Mandrill and I expect him to use that to his benefit in a stick-and-move approach to this fight! Styles: Mandrill has fought his way to an 8-3 overall record and anyone can see he’s all about getting a fight to the ground as fast as possible and keeping it there! When he’s able to get the fight in the grapple and tackle, he’s very comfortable and effective as proven time and again throughout his career! Getting Bowman to the ground will be the key to this fight in my estimation, and though Bowman has definitely showed increased ability, I don’t think he wants to test his skills against Mandrill’s in that realm! Mandrill has to be fluid and disciplined in his striking defense because if he falls for a feint or tries too early from too far a distance for a takedown and misses, he could pay severely by taking a temple-popping hook to the head from Bowman! I think his best bet is to counterstrike and counter takedown the more aggressive Bowman and frustrate the Compton brawler until he gives up his back while trying to stand on his feet where Mandrill can lock in one of a few submissions that make Bowman tap out! Xavier: I think Bowman rings Mandrill’s bell early in the fight with punishing, accurate punches that setup the knockout shot! He’ll be on the lookout for takedown attempts and if Mandrill opts to take the counterattack approach, I think Bowman has the speed and agility to thwart that approach, especially because he’s a bit lighter and that helps his footwork for getting in and out of range! PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Bowman by KO; Styles – Mandrill by Submission Xavier: The next two combatants into the cage will be Theodore Jasper and Chief Navajo! The young Watts product and Stepdads member, Jasper, has amassed an overall 7-3 record, which is solid for a 20-year-old fighter! He began his career on a major roll then struggled recently, but he overcame those struggles with a TKO victory at RFC Showdown in Tokyo 32 over Gustav Ahr in the first round! Looking to ride that momentum, I’m sure Jasper will look to use his menacing knuckles to earn him another victory and expand his win streak! He’s a little taller and heavier than Navajo but is definitely at a disadvantage age wise! Styles: Navajo is an even 6-6 overall and definitely doesn’t want to fall below that mark! Despite being eight years older, he only has two more fights than Jasper so Navajo will have to rely on his physical advantages, if there are any, and definitely will have to lean on his combat smarts to win this fight! Getting this fight to the ground will be priority one for Navajo because he’s shown that when he’s not able to do that, he unfortunately pays the price for it! His last two fights have been very rough, losing both of them by TKO and KO in the first round each time! Granted, the warriors he lost to are damn good but that doesn’t bypass the fact he still tasted canvas! That physical and mental damage takes a toll on anyone, period, so Navajo will have to keep his chin tucked and head moving if he wants to avoid a three-peat performance! Xavier: I think the younger and hungrier lion named Jasper wins this fight by knockout, Styles! His aggression, speed and power will simply be too much for Navajo to handle, especially because those two knockout losses are still very fresh in his mind! Yes, he’s a proven veteran who should be able to move past those losses but the pain simply can’t be ignored! Once Jasper lands one or two painful shots, Navajo will begin to doubt himself and that doubt will leave him open for the napout! Styles: I think the veteran will surprise the aggressive Jasper with some nice striking defense and footwork that will make Jasper leave himself open for a counter takedown that he doesn’t expect from the wily veteran! Once Navajo scores the takedown he can take his time and land sporadic strikes while working to improve his positioning through intelligent transitions, strength and patience! Navajo has dealt with young aggressive fighters before so this will be nothing new to him and he’ll slow the anxious fighter down long enough to lock in a submission for the win! PREDICTIONS: Styles – Navajo by Submission; Xavier – Jasper by KO Styles: Twisty Kneereaper and Abraham Alcantara battle it out next! Kneereaper has twisted his way to a 6-4 overall record while looking to turn around a recent loss to Jesse Kotkaniemi at RFC 49 by unanimous decision! That loss snapped a 3-fight win streak so I’m sure that’s just a bit more motivation for Kneereaper to get the job done here tonight against Alcantara! That’ll be a tough task because he’s a little shorter, lighter, and seven years younger than Alcantara, so he’ll have to use equal parts smarts and intensity to earn this win! There’s no doubt The Stepdads have him fully prepared to do that! Xavier: “All Day” Alcantara is currently 9-8 overall so he’s looking to avoid falling even with a loss tonight! Like Kneereaper, Alcantara had a win streak snapped recently, specifically a 2-fight win streak done in by Blake Westcutt by Armbar at RFC Showdown in Tokyo 31 in the first round! That’s obviously bad news for Alcantara and very good news for his opponent tonight! Alcantara has struggled against submission specialists so keeping this fight on its feet is absolutely imperative! Alcantara has shown the ability to brutalize opponents in the standup, especially in the clinch where he has unforgiving knees and elbows, so I fully expect him to try and lock Kneereaper into a clinch and test his muay thai skills! Styles: Yeah, X, this will be a difficult fight because both of these guys are quite good at muay thai! Kneereaper obviously wants to drag Alcantara to the mat but if he tries to shoot in from too far a distance, he could eat a nasty kick that stops the fight right then and there! If Kneereaper tries to score a takedown in the clinch he may end up taking some unwanted damage from knees and elbows! I think Kneereaper manages to land some damaging strikes by mixing up aggression and counterattacking tactics before taking Alcantara down to the mat from the clinch! Alcantara definitely knows to look for a takedown but if he absorbs enough damage then he won’t be able to stop that from happening anyway! Once Kneereaper gets this fight to the ground, it’s just a matter of time before he locks in the submission for the win! Xavier: I think Alcantara manages to keep this fight on its feet because he knows how to use his height and weight advantage to its utmost! The age experience he has will allow him to physically be able to keep Kneereaper at bay because he knows very well how to use his body, particularly his agility and strength, to keep the youngster in the striking distance he prefers and he won’t mind if this fight goes into the clinch because he knows how to capitalize with his elbows and knees! Alcantara may even drop Kneereaper with a well-timed head kick because those can be thrown from any angle, especially if Kneereaper misses with a shoot takedown and while he recovers, Alcantara can throw that kick and end it! Alcantara wins by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Alcantara by KO; Styles – Kneereaper by Submission Xavier: Lurch Addams and Yhorm Cinder are next to baptize the cage with brutality! “You Rang” Addams from UnderGround Fights Enterprise is a solid 8-3-1 overall and was on a good 3-fight win streak until he crossed paths with Ryo Takuma at RFC 49! Unfortunately for Addams, not only did that loss snap his winning streak, along with his jaw, but it also cost him an opportunity to wear gold! Needless to say, if UnderGround Fights Enterprise wants to motivate this young warrior for this fight, all they have to do is remind him of how close he came to winning a title! Trust me, Styles, that’s tremendous motivation! Addams is six years younger and weighs less than Cinder but I think he’ll be able to stand up to and deal with whatever Cinder throws at him, both literally and figuratively! Styles: “The Giant” Cinder is 7-3 overall and the big Swedish warrior is a bit unusual because he favors the submission approach to fights as opposed to the expected battle and brawl of a man his size! He’s had his ups and downs recently and his last battle was, let’s be honest here, a downright damned embarrassment! Taking nothing away from Luis Maestre and his brick-breaking punches but for any fighter to lose by knockout in a mere five seconds is just not what anyone wants to be known for! Usually with an older fighter, I wouldn’t even fathom there being the chance that their psyche is damaged but I saw Cinder backstage, and let me tell you, X, this very big dude looks very emotionally hurt! Xavier: I hate to say it, X, but that doesn’t surprise me! Losing sucks, being knocked out sucks and is embarrassing for many fighters, but as you said, a mere five seconds is just downright pitiful! A fighter puts in all that time to train and then to have it come crashing down around you in five seconds hurts on many levels! In light of that information, you know exactly where I’m going with this! Addams wins this fight by knockout because Cinder isn’t mentally ready to try and overcome that embarrassing loss! Styles: Whoop, there it is! Bottom line is Addams gets another win but I think he gets it by submission! PREDICTIONS: Styles – Addams by Submission; Xavier – Addams by KO Styles: Daleb Managedov and Shiro Tanaka are next into the cage! I’ll keep this real simple, X, so even you can understand this easily! Xavier: What the hell, Styles!? Styles: What!? You and I both know you sometimes struggle understanding my deep analysis! Xavier: I’ve never had any trouble understanding any insight you’ve provided in any of the shows we’ve worked together, Styles! What are you talking about!? Styles: See!? If you really knew what was going on, you wouldn’t have asked what I’m talking about! Xavier: Oh for f… Styles: Fortunate people, I’m here to provide clarity, so pay attention! I saw the very odd “Ak-47” Managedov backstage and for a dude who’s 6-5 overall, I really don’t know how he’s won any fights recently! He looks as interested in fighting as I look when CNN and FOX show commercials about the impeachment trials! Tanaka is going to mop up the ring with Managedov tonght! Xavier: “Shining Sun” Tanaka is 5-2 overall and this Cromulent Doom member claims to be a descendant of the one and only, Bruce Lee! Styles: Hold up, X! The Bruce Lee, as in, Shannon and Brandon Lee’s dad!? As in, the real life kick ass martial artist who created Jeet Kune Do and made Enter The Dragon, one of the coolest martial arts films, period!? Xavier: Yes, Styles, that Bruce Lee. Styles: Pardon my ignorance here, X, but Bruce Lee was very much Chinese, right? Xavier: Chinese and German, to be exact. His mother had some European blood in her. Styles: Right. So, none of that makes me think of Japan, X! Xavier: Anything is possible, Styles! Distant relatives can be from many different places. Styles: Riiiiight. Xavier: Tanaka lost recently to Reginald Budgiehandler at UnderGround FC31 but he’s making his debut in the RFC, so this is a prime opportunity for him to show what he’s capable of! Since his opponent isn’t mentally ready, it seems Tanaka merely has to pick how he’ll win! Styles: I’ll make this easy! Tanaka makes Managedov tap out! Xavier: I say he knocks him out! PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Tanaka by KO; Styles – Tanaka by Submission Xavier: Ruff Tuff and Mama Tosen step into the cage to battle it out! Styles: Mama? Do you think he had a hard time as a kid with a first name like that? Xavier: You know kids are ruthless, Styles, so I’m sure he did! Styles: Yeah, X, you’re right! If he went to school with kids like the South Park kids, I bet his life was hell as a kid! Xavier: Ruff “N” Tuff is 0-4 so, to an extent, his name is appropriate because he’s definitely had a rough and tough beginning to his career! His last fight against Jonny Baker at RFC 51 ended in a second-round TKO! In fact, all but one of his losses have been by TKO! Styles: Hell, maybe the dude is a masochist! Xavier: Let’s be honest, Styles! To be a mixed martial arts fighter on a professional level, each and every fighter has a bit of a sadist and a masochist in them! Styles: That’s a valid point and I hear what you’re saying! However, to me, if a fighter gets beat down time and again and doesn’t win then they’re doing it simply because they enjoy the pain! Xavier: I can see why you’d feel that way. He’s only had one fight make it to the second round so I’m not sure what he can change at this point in time! Styles: He can just jump in the cage and go ballistic in hopes he’ll catch his opponent completely off guard and land a haymaker that ends the fight early! Xavier: That may work! Styles: “Duphus” Tosen is 1-3 so it’s not like he’s a dominating force either, but he does have a win and that’s more than Tuff can say! His last fight against Ameqran Anto at RFC 51 ended in a unanimous decision loss but at least he went the distance with dude! That in itself may be motivational enough for Tosen to be confident that he’ll win this fight! I’m sure the Keyboard Warriors have told him he can drop Tuff with a clean shot to the jaw, so I say that’s what happens here tonight! Xavier: I’ll echo that sentiment! Tosen wins by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Tosen by KO; Styles – Tosen by KO Xavier: Little Big and Riley Pierce are next to inject some excitement into the crowd! Styles: You said inject! Xavier: Will you stop!? “Fist” Big is an even 1-1 with his sole victory being a unanimous decision over Ronaldo Souza at RFC 47! Some Heritage members told me they feel Big will win this fight by knockout because he’s been hell bent on improving his standup skills, especially boxing and he has shown the ability to be a world class boxer, no doubt about that! He’ll have to keep those fists pumping and his eyes open for Pierce’s kicks and takedown attempts! Styles: “The Lurker” Pierce, damn that’s a creepy nickname, is 0-1 so far in his career! He lost by TKO to Freydis Eiriksdottir in the QFC ranks so this will be a big test for him tonight! This boils down to the classic standup versus ground fighter, X! Pierce wants to get this fight to the ground as soon as he can to give himself the best chance, but against a world class boxer like Big, he’s going to have to either throw a multitude of kicks, both high and low, to keep Big off balance before going for the takedown, or risk getting his clock cleaned by the highly educated hands that Big possesses! Xavier: I agree and I think Big wins this fight by keeping the fight at the distance he wants so he can unleash those stinging punches! If Pierce manages to get inside of his striking range then he can lock him into a clinch and punch away at his body until Pierce drops his hands then boom! Big blasts through the middle with an uppercut that takes Pierce off his feet and sends him to sleep! Styles: Pierce will counter Big’s punching ability with his kicking ability, chopping away at Big’s legs and ribs with well-placed and timed kicks until Big starts to really pay attention to his kicks! Once that happens, Pierce can feint low with a kick then snap a foot upside Big’s temple and it’s nap time! Or, he can use the kicks to setup a countertakedown and once he lands that, Big is at his disposal for the submission! PREDICTIONS: Styles – Pierce by Submission; Xavier – Big by KO Styles: Jamie James and Martin Kabara bring the night to a close with their finale! James lost his only fight so far by Armbar at RFC Showdown in Tokyo 24 in the first round so he’s pumped and primed to get that first victory! He’s shorter and lighter than Kabara but some of the UnderGround Fights Enterprise members told me he’s been training extremely diligently on his standup skills! I think that benefits him greatly in this fight, X, because if he wants to get that first win, he’s going to have to keep this fight on its feet where he can do the best damage with his fists and feet! I don’t think he’ll mind trading strikes with Kabara at all and may do his best to try and encourage it, especially if he can land combinations of punches and kicks that daze and tire the younger Kabara! Xavier: Similar to James, Kabara is also currently 0-1 so one of these young tigers is assured their first victory unless they end up in a draw, of course! I think the desire and pressure to procure that first win is too great for this fight to end in a draw, Styles! Kabara lost in the second round to Rain Okada by TKO so redemption is on his mind, undoubtedly! If Kabara can establish his fists and keep himself from being kicked on either temple or on the side of the head, or being taken to the mat where James could lock in a submission, he has a chance to earn that first win! Styles: I say Kabara gets the job done tonight by bootin’ James upside his dome for the knockout! Xavier: I think James wins by knockout because his footwork is excellent and his fists and boxing ability are faster and can hit at more angles than Kabara’s kicks! PREDICTIONS: Xavier – James by KO; Styles – Kabara by KO Xavier: That concludes another Rapid Fighting Championship conclusion, ladies and gentlemen!

I've been more and more into looking at each fight on any card I'm involved in, creatively or just competitively, and I keep seeing perhaps "lop-sided" matchups being put on the card, only to be proven wrong when the underdog snatches victory from the jaws of defeat, or even comes out guns blazing and beats the clear-piss out of the favourite. My question to y'all is, whats the biggest upset win of your Tycoon careers so far? Were you losing every second of a title fight until you locked in a submission? were you getting whipped so bad you walked away with a 16 day injury, yet still got the decision? Let me know!

Yeah I think I realised better to keep my word and just hand back as its a hindrance so better to move on

By a thread? Dude we are a staple in the top 10 having been as high as 8th just a few weeks ago. 97% satisfaction rating too with a healthy roster , our next 3 events are sold out too. I sold because Chucky vouched for OP and said the org would become a feeder to CEC , I have a ton of emails between Chuck and I to prove this. And no, OP wrote to me to ask permission to start this thread. After I said no he still did it. To me a deal is a deal. OP should honour his deals.

This is quite possibly one of the dumbest threads I have ever read. Haha.

Seems you have no choice but to change the name, the org has been hanging on by a thread... A name change might be what it needs to bounce back!

Your messaging saying toughest org insinuates toughest to run clear as day in message. It was bought on my behalf but it is my org and thats all mate, I aint running on behalf of Chuck. People see the name as a problem, I didnt go behind your back etc, I sent to link so you could see it and speak about it. At end of day I have been gracious to you in all I have done so far, I could have changed name etc but no I am going through this to see what people think.

Come to SMASH when you leave there

But general bickering aside, that's incredibly suspect. Well I mean its not even suspect, its blatant. I'm still at a loss why people try to gain the game, the big example being wolf and co. from a few years ago (around when I stopped playing the game for a while) You're only kidding yourselves.

I'll take the Union Flag one, second from bottom left

Can i have the Adesanya one ?

Can I take bottom left one?

Bjornsson always underestimated but then you realise he's on another level!

Yeah it is yours if you want it Kelly.

Is this one still up for grabs?

lol, I would give my biggest upset to Champ Huge Balls when he upset a 0-26 Saint Joan for the L, probably my crowning achievement in this game to date. http://mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=765756 ( And because I'm not shitting you, http://www.mmatycoon.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50916 )

The game will miss you bro! I hope you reconsider but if not good luck to you.

Yeah nobody beats this one this year, its incrdeible

Ask him to erase your multi while he's at it

Pretending Miss Miracle is real

I personally was looking forward to this Award the most and i myself between running my org, doing previews, posters tons of other stuff behind the scenes for people, really enjoyed the Avatars the most.
