Basketball player turned MMA fighter Andre Washington enters the tournament

Alexey Andreev : 10 Grappling P4P I signed up to win and that's what I am going to do

It's a fight I'm excited for!

265 Finals! vs Roman "The Penultimate Emperor"Emelianenko vs Maximilian "The Lion" Bonaparte

I think it's because the majority of fighters won't have customs pictures and the custom ones need to fit in and look like the generic ones. It's a bit jarring to see these weird ass avatars and then just have some guy be Mike Tyson's actual face. This isn't supposed to be real MMA it's a different universe with weird looking creatures and the avatars have to reflect that.

Walter Waters People always tell me I'm a boring fighter, even once had a little kid come up to me and he told me to stop fighting like a pussy. So to appease the rabid fans, there you go I actually hit a guy and got a TKO. It's not fault that my knuckles are softer than most MMA Tycoon users. Might get another finish win in the future but, I do like those judges saying I win after I spend three rounds having a hugging fight with my opponent. Hate those dam sub fighters though.

135 Title Finals! vs Paulo Del Geno vs Jim "JumpSuit" Jordan 145 Title Finals! vs Micheal "Lil Bully" Bostic vs "Gentle" Jim Lahey

Lukasz Wieczorek post fight discussion with Alexei Alexei: Wow Lukasz great win out there, I hate going against grapplers Lukasz: Uhhhh... thanks Bossman Alexei: Dam, you managed to knock his lights out, how'd you do that? Lukasz: Duh, Lukasz hit boring grappler man with big brick fists and he go to sleep Alexei: Well I did tell you to "Hit that mofo really hard" so I guess that works Lukasz: Grappler man kept trying to cuddle with Lukasz and so Lukasz did what he was taught in school which is to just say no! Alexei: Exactly and don't talk to stranger either Lukasz Lukasz: Of course Bossman, Lukasz would never do that Alexei: Talk later Lukasz, keep doing what you're doing Lukasz: Thank you for letting me punch things!

Glass Joe's career shows just how awesome of a game MMA tycoon can be, the amount of fun you can looking at these dudes with creepy avatars beat the shit out of each other. What a glorious career for a 25 year old and a glorious career for any fighter really. I don't know if I'll have a top P4P fighter but, I sure hope I have one that I can connect to and appreciate like Glass Joe.

People should be lining up for my interviews it must be good luck! Congrats to Hero Shima!

Congrats to Guy River for finally being able to take the champ down after 11 straight wins!

Guy River Pre-Fight Interview Hey SP fans, it's been a little while since I’ve done an interview but I’m back and I hope y’all enjoy it! I’ll be interviewing Guy Rivers who will be challenging for the lightweight belt at SP 70. River started his career under the management of Joe River and is still managed to this day. River started his MMA fight 0-1 but showed great potential and KO power. Just after this fight he got signed by Hare Rumpler to Sucker Punch and here’s where his legacy started. River would win his first, then lose and then win three in a row. Now at 4-2 and with a lot of momentum River challenged champ Frankie Logan but lost in a very close fight via split decision. After this loss River continued his dominance and now wants another shot at the champ. Here is the Guy River interview! AS: Welcome Guy, glad to be able to interview you here today. Tell me about how you got into MMA and your backstory. GR: I came to the US from Gabon Africa a few years ago. Joe and my uncle Kevin are really good friends. I moved in with Kevin and met Joe's daughter and we started dating. We are now married and have a daughter. I fight under Joe's last name since he is training me and Kevin. We are all family even if we come from a different country people are people no matter where we are from. The world would be a better place if people understood that. AS: Wow, what an interesting story and I’m happy to hear that you and Ms River are happily married. Next how would you describe your style of MMA and is there anyone you drew inspiration from? GR: I would have to say Chuck Liddell Inspires me. I throw bombs and try and take your head off, not the most skilled just let my power do the work. AS: It’s certainly a fun style and one I enjoy watching. I’m a big fan of the Ice Man myself. Let’s talk about your career, what do you think of your most recent win over Jubbly? GR: He is tough but I am too, it went exactly like I planned it. AS: It was a great fight to watch! You’ve been doing a lot of winning recently, why do you think that is? GR: Again my power is my main weapon. I connect clean and you go to sleep. AS: You’re very scary, I’d be terrified if I was one of the poor souls locked in the cage with you. Speaking of your wins, which fighter you’ve beaten do you think is the toughest? GR: I am not sure, I beat them so don't think any of them are tougher than the others. AS: That’s a good answer, you’ve managed to KO a high number of them. Now let’s talk about your last fight with Frankie which ended in a split decision, what do you think of it? GR: Logan is the toughest fighter I have gone against. They might have called it a split decision but I feel that's bullshit he won that fight. There is a reason he is the champ. AS: Logan is truly a great fighter, there is a reason he’s won 11 straight fights. Tell me more about what you think of Logan as a fighter. GR: Logan is tough, as good as they come. He felt my power early in the last fight, he was able to recover and pull out the win. If he is willing to stand and trade with me again his chin won't hold up this time. AS: Your striking is clearly a lot better than his, we’ll see if he can hold up against your power in the rematch. Back to your career, how did you end up signing with Sucker Punch in the first place? GR: Joe has several fighters signed with the org, he says it's one of the best in the game. AS: I’d have to agree, they give me this great job and I even have a fighter signed here as well. If you do manage to win the belt, who would you want to face next? GR: I don't ask for fights, I will fight anyone they send if I win this one or I lose it doesn't matter I will fight anyone anytime. AS: I can respect that. Finally before we end this interview any last words to the fans or anyone else? GR: Hold on to your hats I plan to knock this guy out and shock the world. When that happens I want my fans yelling so much we blow the roof off the place! As for Logan, you are a great champ. Let's meet in the middle of the cage and put on a show! Thank you to Joe River for helping me make this amazing interview possible, thanks to Hare for giving me this job and making SP one of the best orgs in the game and most importantly thank you to the fans who read these!

I'd be down, sounds awesome

Mike just confirmed the island will be ending on August 15th not July 15th, glad to hear it!

John Doe Pre-Fight Interview Hey Sucker Punch fans, unfortunately Hare couldn’t write a preview today so I decided to post an interview so y’all have something to read! I’ll be interviewing current SP light heavyweight champ John Doe. First though I’ll give you a little fighter profile about him. John Doe started his MMA career under the management of Petro Farantini and won his first MMA fight via TKO. He was then released but was picked up by manager P J Jones who was impressed by his KO power. Doe then trained up and was signed by Sucker Punch and was booked for his first fight against Steven Jones. After picking up the win he proceeded to win his next three fights which set him up for a title fight against Jacob Parker. He won the fight in a close back and forth, taking the SP championship for himself. Now we are in the present day where Doe is still undefeated and about to have a rematch with Parker for the belt. AS: Hey Mr. Doe glad you could be here today for this interview. Now before we talk about the future and you’re upcoming fight, tell me about how you got into MMA. JD: (Write Up from John Doe’s Fighter Bio)“PJ came across JD outside of a hamburger joint in LA while there for a fight card. JD was living on the streets and became infamous when a bunch of teenagers attacked him and filmed it. Bum Fights 22 went viral after JD smacked the christ out of all the teenagers and shoved their iphones up their asses and left them in a dumpster. This was the last installment of Bum Fights. PJ doesnt know JD's history and John Doe aint telling. Sometimes its better not to know…” AS: Hehe *laughs nervously* That's an interesting backstory to say least, having an Iphone up your ass would not be fun. Anyway, next tell me how you describe your style of MMA. JD: It’s simple, I'm a brawler, street fighter. AS: Well I can’t say I’m surprised to hear that especially after I heard your backstory. Let’s talk about your wins more specifically about your most recent win over Derwent Bolt. What do you think of that win? JD: It was a different fight to what I was used to, no bottles, shivs or dumpster lids. No standing and banging until someone falls down. I had to train differently to how I had ever trained before for that one (not that I really train technique usually anyway I guess). We were not sure how it would go on the ground but I did know I was going to hurt him and if he could walk through that hurt it would be a win for me. AS: You certainly pull your own on the ground and put Bolt in a world of hurt, it’s impressive to see a street fighter wrestle with the best. Now it’s finally time to talk about your rematch with Jacob Parker. What’s your thoughts on him? JD: There are a few really dangerous KO artists in the Sucker Punch light heavyweight division and Parker seems to be the best of them. A former champ who I beat to get the belt. That was a fun fun fight, tough fight but fun. AS: I agree it was a great fight to behold and I can’t wait to see the rematch. Why do you think you’ve had so much success over your career so far? JD: No idea, I just fight, never really thought about winning or losing. From what I have seen in life everyone loses. I even have Born To Lose tattooed on my arm. AS: Well that’s a pretty ironic tattoo to say the least. How did you end up fighting in Sucker Punch especially considering your non-pro MMA background? JD: After training at Far Q MMA for a while I went along to watch one of my teammates Frankie fight and saw that this joint actually encouraged street fighting rather than protecting crotch sniffing college student rich boys who never saw the real world. I asked PJ if I could have a go so he talked to Hare who gave me a go. AS: Sucker Punch is a perfect place for a fighter like yourself and now I can see why you’ve had so much success here. Let’s talk about your MMA fights again, who’s been your biggest challenge so far? JD: Easy, Jacob Parker. AS: That was the closest fight of your career so far. Back to you, would you say any MMA fighter in particular influenced your style? JD: I don't know any stars but I met this Latrobe Arundel guy in LA a couple years back. Me and him got on well, which is unusual as I don't like people. AS: Damn wish I could meet P4P fighters on the street, instead all I do is write about them. Let’s talk about the future, if you do beat Parker is there anyone you want to face next? JD: Not really, whoever is next I guess, PJ has talked about maybe a fight or two at MW but I don't care. AS: Middleweight would be interesting although there are still some up and comers in the light heavyweight division. Finally, anything you want to say to the great fans of Sucker Punch? JD: Hang on, I got a bit of paper here. " To all fans come and watch Sucker Punch and watch me and Parker beat the shit out of each other" Thank you I just want to give a special thanks to P J for helping me with this great interview and for Hare who pays me to do these interviews. Hope y’all enjoy reading these!

Hero Shima Pre-Fight Interview Hello Sucker Punch, it’s me Alexei Smirnov and today I have another interview for you all! Before I show you the interview I’ll have a little fighter profile on Hero Shima. Also keep in mind this interview is translated from Japanese(yes it actually was translated, thanks google translate). Hero Shima is a Japanese fighter and upcomer in the heavyweight division. He has fought for Sucker Punch his entire career going 4-2 at SP so far. He has had an overall positive record and even scored a rare submission win for himself. He recently scored a big victory over Zymunt Krol. He is still young, only 22 at the moment and has a lot of future potential. Anyway, here’s the interview! AS: Hey Hero glad you could be here today and glad I could get my hands on a translator. First of all,you have an upcoming fight against Ultima Kekkonen what’s your opinion on him? HS: The fight against Urho Kekkonen should be exciting. Kekkonen struggled, but if mixed martial arts can be applied, he can expect to win KO with Superman Punch based on Kroll in the second round. I'm working on a fake Superman punch followed by a punch to the liver. Abbreviation for Suckerpunch Special Supreme, which is called Triple S (Fleck-Peck). AS: Sounds interesting to me, I’m hype to see that fight. Next, tell me about your most recent victory over Zygmunt Krol,what do you think of him? HS: Zygmunt Krol was one of the reasons I actually came to Australia because his second cousin (removed twice) was also training with Carlos Casteneda. I was in contact with the camp on Twitter long ago. Rumor has it that a Polish gypsy came to Wales to avoid a genocide and Jimnto's mother was slightly hurt .. I think "frisky" is the closest example. Yes, blood must have started to make noise by escaping from the war … AS: Wow, that’s certainly a story. Let’s start talking inside the cage, how would you describe your style of MMA? HS: I'm really just a striker, but I don't mind fighting. I'm lucky to win the submission. I like pulling guards, but coaches keep telling me not to do it well. I can't help myself. The temptation is tremendous and I can't resist it. If the other person bends down to protect his or her body, there are several options here. AS: You are entertaining in the cage, you never know what’s next when I’m watching your fights! What brought you to Sucker Punch specifically? HS: Yeah, as I said, I came through Krol's contacts, but when SuckerPunch opened, I heard great things about SuckerPunch. Hare Rumpler is a well known mixed martial artist. A legend in the fighter community. His writing is actually translated into Japanese and is popular nationwide. My fans will be sent off knowing that they have been interviewed by the great Alexei Smirnov. I hope I can meet the spotlight master Yamashita Craven someday. My son is a fan. AS: Well I appreciate the compliment and I’m glad your son is a fan. Hare told me that if you win this next fight you may get a shot at heavyweight champ, do you think you deserve a shot at the champ? HS: I want to fight for the title today, but even though there is such a ranking system … AS: You are quite ambitious, I like it. Next, what are your thoughts on the current champ Thoth Chontamenti? HS: Thoth Chontamenti isn’t real. In fact, I don't think he actually faced a real enemy to try him out. I'm going to do so. His ground battles were very good, but his opponents were mainly weak in ground battles. His only real grappling competition was against Patrick Murphy. It was legal anyway ..... Hey, I knew I lost to Murphy and he Wrestling was better back then, but now it's MMA. 1D fighters tend to work early in these setups, but not well for decent all-round guys. .. With the exception of Murphy, the margins are too far for him to make now. I think he should consider an exhibition match with Jake Paul, but it doesn't matter to Thoth. With all this in mind. , I have a fight with Ultima and that's all I'm focusing on right now. AS: I hope to see a fight between you and Thoth, I think that’d be pretty awesome! I’ve already learned a lot about you but, tell me HS: . I lived a very quiet life on several remote islands on the Japanese coast called Okinawa. Sometimes there are wars, but nothing else happens. My pedigree is different. I have no freedom to argue. Our family served the land and the family before the country. Our state had to unite under one flag and fight corrupt daimyo and ruthless dictatorships. AS: That’s some intense stuff, I can see why you’re such a great fighter now. Any heavyweights in Sucker Punch you want to face in the future? HS: I just want to fight the best opponent at the time. When knocking out Ultima in the "Ultimate" way, you want to be able to have a decent fight with some winning high-ranked opponents. AS: As they say you gotta beat the best to be the best. On that topic of other fighters, anyone inspire you to start doing MMA? HS: I really want to fight Ulysses' "Golden Bear" Brashkov, which is why I came to World Stadium. I hope he won't be discouraged if he gets the chance. When I bury my nose behind his skull, I predict that he will be like Adisanya vs Anderson Silva, as he will hand him his belt in honor. Yeah ... I love that guy !!!! AS: I agree he’s a great fighter, love to see that one day. Finally any last words you want to say before I end this interview? HS: Take good care of your family. Then everything should be fine. AS: That should end our interview, thanks for tagging along and goodluck in your fight!

You have to sign a lot of legal documents if want to be a fighter for me haha

Turns out I just got him, idk why it took over a day but, whatever

So I put a bid in for this fighter, I went to check who got him but it still says he a FA. Can't even find him by searching him up and it doesn't say he's retired either. Idk if I did something wrong somehow or what happened.

Michael Aalto Post-Fight Interview Hello Sucker Punch fans, I’m Alexei Smirnov here today to give you my first interview. I have recently been hired by Hare to give you fans some interviews and more knowledge about the fighters. Before we start off the interview I’ll give you all a little bio about Michael Aalto. Michael Aalto is a fighter under the management of Taina Valkoinen and started fighting in MMA at the beginning of 2020. Here Aalto got his first sub win and established his grappling style. Soon after that he signed with Sucker Punch and began his reign of terror. Aalto would then win his first nine fights to begin his career and the Sucker Punch featherweight championship. Here he would face his toughest challenge yet Brady Jean Baptiste and he would lose his championship. Now back on his path to getting another shot at it he recently defeated Jaxon Bremner in the main event of SPPS 62. Let’s go to the interview! AS: Hey Michael glad you could be here with me today, I have some questions to ask. First things first, what’s your thoughts on your recent victory over Jaxon Bremner? MA: His top game gave me some trouble in the first round. But I almost caught him in a triangle twice already, so I knew it was going to be open for me. Good win. AS: I agree, it was another great sub win for you. Tell me what’s your plan for the next couple of days after winning? Plan on partying or right back to the grind? MA: A few days off to unwind, then back to work, back to training. AS: After this big win, do you think you deserve another shot at the featherweight belt yet or do you need to prove yourself more? MA: There are a bunch of guys on win streaks in this division, so it's understandable that I need to prove that I've earned a shot to fight for the belt again. But I do believe one more win against a high ranked opponent should be enough to get a title fight. AS: There is a lot of talent currently in the Sucker Punch featherweight division. Tell me about your own personal style of MMA in your own words. MA: I'm more known as a submission grappler, but I'm always looking to improve in all areas of MMA. AS: I’ve always been a fan of seeing a good submission hold, although it is called Mixed Martial Arts for a reason. Next question, you’ve been at Sucker Punch your whole career for any reason? MA: Sucker Punch has always been good to me and my team. I don't feel that I'm in my prime yet, so it's the perfect place to keep improving, while fighting against other young guns. AS: Lots of great young fighters here at Sucker Punch with a great future ahead of them. I’ve also heard they hire the best interviewers. Tell me how you got into MMA? MA: When I turned 18, I went to pro grappling and coached BJJ classes. After my year of mandatory military service, I signed a pro MMA contract with Sucker Punch. AS: A whole year in the military must have made you a lot tougher. Your home nation of Finland and the people here in Sydney support you a lot, why do you think that is? MA: You'd have to ask the fans about that. But maybe it's my fighting style, and that I'm always going for the finish. Winning helps too. AS: Don’t tell anyone I said this but, you’re one of my personal favorite fighters at Sucker Punch. Enough about yourself what do you think of current Featherweight champ Brady Jean Baptiste? MA: He's a consummate professional and a worthy champion. He has my respect, both as a person and as a martial artist. AS: Glad to see you think so highly of him. Finally any last words you want to end this on? MA: Thank you, and thank you to all the fans. I'll see you guys on the next one! AS: Thanks to Hare for hiring me to do this, thanks to Michael for this interview and I hope to do more in the future!
