What's Going on in YOUR Game?

[Iceisle]

Jamie Hewitt was set to defend his Lightweight title against Glen Siemaszko. It was his last contracted fight with Xtreme Cage Combat, because I signed him a few months earlier. I don't really care for him, but I knew there were a few guys on my roster who could beat him and climb the rankings. Never hurts to have a win over a former champion.

A week before the fight, a news story pops up saying that Hewitt suffered a major neck injury in training, and he's out for over a year. The next day he's stripped of his title.

In 8 months his contract runs out, but I'll have to wait another 6 before I can sign him up for a fight. Oddly, I'm really pleased with the way things turned out.

Gisele Silva retired at age 34 with a record of 18-1.

WEFF Flyweight (Thursday, Wk 1, Nov 2003 - Sunday, Wk 1, Dec 2008, 6 defenses)
WEFF Bantamweight (Monday, Wk 1, May 2009 - Dec 2010, 2 defenses)

She had a total of 11 top 5 wins, avenged her only loss and went on a 8 year, 14 fight win streak.

I'm kinda tempted to have her do a Randy Couture and come out of retirement...

I have smth interesting in my game. Default data base.
Jerry Bogdonovic is acting like a beast. He has got 7 win streak. Last 3 were wins via tko over Marlon John (5), !Affonso Villar! who is the beast (2) and last win over Jin Katou (11) via KO! I wanted Katou win and get title shot on Asanovic. So next to face Asanovic is Bogdonovic.
Fellows, how to post prtsc here? Id like to show you his streak and stats. If you like I can post fight repport with Katou.

[Riven]

Try to upload fight streak.

[Riven]

I got it. Here is his stats. You can look at stats one of his last 3-5 opponents, there is something incredible.
I only can upload one picture at a time?

Wow, he is doing very well. My Jerry Bog is only 21 and has had three fights, losing one to Niko Soldo. Hopefuly he turns out as good as yours someday.

[completesky]

I ran DoMMA unemployed to Aug 2015. The P4P top ten were:

JZ Calvan (28-1)
Saku (22-2)
Brock Lesnar (18-0)
Nick Diaz (18-0)
Matt Hughes (37-1)
Lyoto Machida (20-1)
Jose Aldo (17-1)
Fedor (22-2)
David Terrell (21-4)
Randy Couture (26-4)

Superbrawl and PRIDE were the top two promotions, both ending up high level national.

I can release the data if anyone wants to play it.

That would be awesome. There's a thread for gamesaves here if you haven't seen it. I'd be very interested in checking that one out.

[BrokenCycle]

So about 6 weeks ago I posted my story of Sly Twinge becoming champion and then immediately suffering an eye injury that kept him out of my promotion for about three years. He won the championship in his very first match back, then became nothing much and I ended up firing him.

He was 37 years old and my heavyweight division kinda sucks so I decided that I should give him another shot just to bring more depth back to the division. He's also fairly popular He ended up winning the title last month at my last pay per view in his third match.

He's now dead...

My dynasty thread is here: http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum....php?p=1786424

Here's a little of what's been going on in my game-world:

Been playing as the UFC using the Modern Warriors mod. Started in 2012 and now in 2022. It's been an incredible 10 years. There been some shocks and surprises, but overall awesome realism throughout. It's interesting to see how guys progress and how their careers pan out.

I made a Wikipedia page to keep track of my company over the years. You can find it here: http://filmframe.net/myufc.html

------------------------------------------

Here are a few highlights from the last 10 years:

Jon Jones has been an enigmatic and ground-breaking LHW champion. He
lost the belt in Dec. 2012, shockingly tapped out by Ryan Bader in
what many experts call one of the UFC's greatest ever shocks. This is
the only time Jones has ever tasted defeat in MMA, his other loss
coming via DQ to Matt Hamill back in Dec. 2009.

After losing the title, Jones bounced back with a convincing TKO
victory over Gustafsson, but then left the UFC due to a contract
dispute. Rumours of him winding up in another promotion never
materialised, and a year later Jones was again fighting in the UFC.
He submitted Jorgen Kruth, before avenging his loss to Bader and
winning the title back by defeating Phil Davis in March 2015. Since
then, Jones has looked undefeatable with high profile wins over Ovince
St. Preux, Alexandre Ribeiro, Rick Frye, Kelly Anundson among others.
He's defeated the who's who of the LHW divison and the UFC constantly
strive to bring in the best LHW fighters from around the world to
compete with Jones.

As 2020 rolled around, the world of MMA began to declare Jon Jones an
unbeatable champion. People began to question if anyone would ever be
abe to beat Jones. Although good young and talented fighters came up
through the ranks, no one was able to topple Jones, who has looked
indestructible since that shock loss to Bader.

Bored with the seeming lack of competition in the LHW divison, Jones
took a year long break from MMA in order to make Hollywood films. The
UFC honoured him by not vacating his title as long as he agreed to
return for the UFC's big end of year Las Vegas show in 2021.

Hatsu Hioki has carved out a legendary career in MMA. He's been known
as the "Ground Master" and "Mister Undefeatable." He went 19 fights
undefeated, 16 of those in the UFC, and held the UFC Featherweight
title from August 2012 until being bested in a classic fight against
Charles Oliveira in Nov. 2019. He defended the title a record 13 times
and holds wins over the who's who of Featherweight competition,
including being the only man to have beaten Jose Aldo twice. Hioki,
already one of the all-time pound-for-pound greats, won his title back
from Oliveira in June 2021 in another titantic battle of ground
maestros. They're due to complete a third and deciding fight, which
Hioki has said is his final goal before retiring.

BJ Penn was tapped out for the first time ever in his career by the
legendary Shinya Aoki. Not only did he beat him, but he broke his arm
at UFC 170. The Hall of Famer, Penn, only lost one other time to
submission, being bested by Gleison Tibau for the Lightweight title at
UFC 228.

Penn's career had taken off again after he beat Ben Henderson in an upset
at UFC 166 to win a surprise 2nd Lightweight title. Everyone had written Penn
off after his double loss to Frankie Edgar in 2010, but he rejuvenated his career
and captured the Lightweight title twice more before calling time on his career.

After his three fight losing streak in Strikeforce, in a dramatic
move, and something that MMA writers and fans thought they'd never
see, Fedor Emelianenko entered the UFC in late 2012. To this day, experts are still confused exactly how the deal got put together, but
unfortunately only one fight is all the UFC could put together. Fedor, in
another surprising move, fought at Lightheavyweight against fellow
former Japanese-based Quinton Rampage Jackson. In a tough match, Fedor
got the win via strikes.

It would be another 4 years until Fedor would be seen in an MMA fight
again. He returned to DREAM to great fanfare in 2016, but lost via
submission to rising star Adelino Klein. 2 years later, Fedor again
fought in DREAM, this time getting a TKO victory over former UFC
champion Frank Mir.

Heath Herring is unbeaten since his August 2008 lose to Brock
Lesnar at UFC 87. He's riding a 9 fight winning streak. Never out of the
top 10 pound-for-pound fighters over the last 10 years, he just keeps winning.
Despite shunning the UFC on numerous occasions to have him back, he is
fighting well into his 40s and is a force to be recognised with.

Rampage Jackson had a tumultuous end to his UFC career. He regained
the Lightheavyweight title at UFC 173 in Oct. 2013 beating Phil Davis,
before successfully defending it in a heated second battle with Rashad
Evans. However, Jackson shockingly quit the UFC at the end of that
year and went back to Japan and the DREAM promotion. He captured the
Lightheavyweight title there, before dropping it in his next fight to
Hiroshi Izumi and deciding to retire from the sport.

Jackson's leaving of the UFC as champion thrust them into a difficult
situation with the Lightheavyweight mix. An 8 man tournament decided
the new champion with Phil Davis coming out on top to start his second
LHW title run.

Georges St-Pierre, widely considered the greatest fighter of all time,
retired with just 5 loses, 4 of which were avenged. He only lost 5
times in the Octagon, once each to Matt Hughes, Matt Serra, former
team-mate Rory MacDonald, Hector Lombard and Kyle Pimental - all
former champions. He retired before he was able to re-match Pimental
in a fight that the fans were begging to see again.

St-Pierre did what no other fighter has been able to do - to go up a
weight class, win the title and then defend two weight classes'
titles concurrently. He was able to do this by jumping up to the
Middleweight division in order for the UFC to promote the "Dream of
All Dreams" fight against the man who was, at the time, the best
fighter the world had ever seen, Anderson Silva. The UFC went back and
forth on making this a title fight, but both fighters in the end
convinced them to make it happen. St-Pierre beat Silva by unamimous
decision in one of the biggest UFC events of all time at the big
summer Vegas show in 2013 to be crowned the new pound-for-pound fight
king.

St-Pierre went on to defend the Middleweight title twice whilst he
also took fights defending his Welterweight title. MMA pundits had
never seen anything like it - St-Pierre was a fight machine taking on
all challengers, much to the chagrin and skepticism of UFC heads and
his management. Rory MacDonald became the first man in 8 years to beat
him at Welterweight. The two former team-mates locked horns in what
they called a Respect fight, and a match that was on-and-off for years
before the two agreed to face each other - losely considered a passing
of the torch beaten the two Canadians. Much to the surprise of
everyone, St-Pierre was able to return and win back his cherished
title (beating old nemesis Carlos Condit) and making a solid third run
with the title before hanging up the gloves. St-Pierre will also be
known for his heated feuds and legendary fights with Nick Diaz and
Jake Shields.

Anderson Silva, a Hall of Famer, has had a career like no other. After
losing his title to St-Pierre, he bounced back and won the belt from
Hector Lombard. However, in his very next fight, he was knocked out by
Luke Rockhold in what MMA writers have described as one of the most
dramatic and best-remembered knockouts of all time. Rockhold, a solid
contender but still unproven at this point, wasn't meant to beat
Silva, let alone knock him out in such devastating fashon. In
hindsight, this has been seen as a real passing of the torch fight,
with Silva's loss ushering in a new generation of Middleweight stars
led by Luke Rockhold, Derek Brunson and Cameron Diffley.

The Heavyweight divison has been one of the most up-and-down divisions
in the UFC, with no fighter ever being able to go on a run of
dominance the likes of which we've seen in other divisions. Perhaps
one of the greatest Heavyweight fighters the world has ever seen,
Junior dos Santos has had a career resembling that of Randy Couture.
Not always an out and out winner (especially in his later career), but
dos Santos' fights are always some of the best around and he's never
short of drama and fairytale endings.

Originally a destructive finisher who would take men apart with his
hands, dos Santos gradually tranisitoned into a more tactical fighter
as his fists slowed down and bigger, stronger guys began coming into
the Heavyweight division. He dropped his title by Overeem in June 2012
in a great fight and went on to regain it by beating Cain Velasquez
for a second time in Dec. 2014. Over the next 5 and a half years, dos
Santos went through a mixed period in his career before emerging out
of nowhere to mount another title bid. In a huge upset, he beat the
seemingly invincible Philip DeFries for the title at UFC 273, knocking
him out in a finish that has become a major highlight reel for the
UFC.

Through all his dramatic and fantastic fights and his fairytale
late-career title run, dos Santos has to be considered one of the
all-time premiere Heavyweights in the world of MMA.

Over the last 10 years, the UFC has seen a significant rise in talent
from Eastern Europe, especially in the Heavyweight and LHW divisions.
Some MMA writers have crudely termed it the "Russian Invasion."
Fighters such as Kirill Sidelnikov (the protege of Fedor Emelienko,
Blagoi Ivanov, Jonas Fyodorov, Karol Bedorf, Shamil Abdurahimov Vitaly
Minakov and Misha Cirkunov have entered the UFC and made a name for
themselves, some as title contenders. But the man who made the biggest
stir was Guram Gugenishvili, known as "The Georgian Bear." The massive
Gugenishvili came to the UFC with a 19 fight unbeaten streak, spread
over M-1 and DREAM. He looked indestructable as he took apart the best
the UFC could throw at him, eventually winning the title by submitting
UFC fan favourite Dave Herman. However, in his next fight, Guram
dropped the title to rejuvunated star Todd Duffee who destroyed him
with strikes at UFC 240 to claim the upset victory. Since that loss,
Guram hasn't been the same, losing to top fighters like Velasquez,
Cole Konrad and Karl Gellar.

Cole Konrad is the nearly-man of the UFC. He came over from Bellator
in 2014 and put together a string of wins whilst working his way
through the division. Despite wide acclaim and a couple of title shots, he was never able to capture the championship that many people believed he had the talent to hold.

Nick Diaz, one of the most controversial men in the history of MMA,
has had a crazy UFC career. He's twice left the UFC over contract
disputes, stemming from money issues or what he terms as mistreatment
and disrespect. However, whether in the UFC's Welterweight or
Middleweight divisions, he's long been one of the top ranked fighters
and rarely dropped out of the top 15 over the last ten years.

Diaz beat Rockhold for the Middleweight title in August 2016 after a
fierce and lengthy feud between the two of them. After defending his
title once, Diaz engaged in another drama-filled feud with Derek
Brunson, eventually dropping the belt to Brunson at UFC 235. The loss
was a dramatic one, but the two put their bad-blood behind them and
embraced at the end of the fight. But in his next fight, Diaz (still
fuming from losing his title) went into the fight against Chris
Weidman like a rabid animal. In a much-criticised decision, Diaz lost a
Unamimous Decision to Weidman. Diaz was furious and got into a scuffle
in the Octagon with officials after the fight. He no-showed the post
fight press conference and hasn't been seen in an MMA arena since.

Jake Shields, who has to rank among the greatest all-time ground-game
kings of MMA, had a hard-luck career in the UFC. In 4 title shots (in 2 divisions), he was unable to ever win a UFC title, despite a sterling record and the enduring respect of his fellow fighters. He will be remembered for his
unbeaten streak in EliteXC and Strikeforce before entering the UFC, as
well as his exceptional ground skills and feuds with Georges St-Pierre
and friend turned nemesis Nick Diaz. Shields and Diaz, team-mates,
decided to fight for the Middleweight title when Diaz was champion and
Shields top contender. 2014 saw two titantic battles in their heated
feud, with Diaz winning a Unanimous Decision (much criticised) and a
submission victory.

Cameron Diffley has led the charge of the new generation of
Middleweight fighters who have entered the UFC. Previously an
assistant BJJ coach for Forrest Griffin on the Ultimate Fighter,
Diffley burst onto the scene in the UFC with a string of wins before
beating Derek Brunson for the Middleweight title in July 2018. Often
against competitors who outmatched him in a certain area of the fight
game, Diffley came up with ways to beat them and became known as a
master strategist of the MMA world, especially against fellow
groundgame experts - he's one of only a handful of men to hold a
submission victory over Jake Shields. Diffley defended his title 4
times before dropping it in a shock loss to rising star Hugo
Caballero.

Rodrigo Lima is a real champion's champion, but with the strong
competition in the UFC, hasn't had a lengthy title run, despite
winning the Bantamweight title on two different occasions. One of the
hardest working guys in MMA, but seen as arrogant and aloof by some,
Lima is one of the best ground guys around. After leaving Bellator to
join the UFC, Lima made a super-fast run at the title beating
Demetrious Johnson to become one of the youngest ever UFC champions.
Known for his meteoric rise up the ranks, Lima is now considered one
of the UFC's top stars after a fiery feud with Erik Koch really put
him on the map. The two have fought two great fights - the first, Koch
took the title from Lima, and the second Lima returned the favour
regaining his cherished title from Koch.

Demetrious Johnson will go down as a legend in the sport of MMA.
Despite his small stature, Johnson has more heart than pretty much
anyone. Already a former Flyweight and Bantamweight champion, Johnson
tried to do what no man has ever done and win a championship in a
third weightclass. Hatsu Hioki was two strong for Johnson at 145,
though, and he was unable to beat Hioki in a tough match.

John Lineker really stepped up to be the man in the Flyweight
division. In the early days of the division, the UFC was desperately
looking for someone to become a top star and really put the division
on the map. Lineker obliged and became the first internationally
recognised star in the fledgling Flyweight division. His feuds with
John Dodson and Ian McCall were a big part of this, and his star only
grew once Demetrious Johnson jumped up to Bantamweight and Lineker was
really able to dominate the division for many years.

Dominick Cruz dominated the Bantamweight division over two periods and will be known for fierce rivalries with Urijah Faber, Miguel Angel
Torres and Demetrious Johnson. Cruz lost his belt to Faber in a
heavily contested Unanimous Decision loss in July 2012. He would
eventually win the belt back in October 2013 and hold it for a number
of years. At one point, he tried to go up to Featherweight and
challenge then-champion Hatsu Hioki when Hioki was unbeatable and
running out of challengers at 145. Hioki tapped out Cruz in a fight
that really stated Hioki's dominance and standing in the sport.

Goro Narahashi burst onto the scene in the UFC and took the MMA world
by storm. Undefeated upon entering the UFC in 2018, and known as "The
Bastard," Narahashi took on all comers and eventually beat long-time
Flyweight champion and mega-star John Lineker. Over the next few
years, Goro defended his title before a shocking knockout at the hands
of Darrell Montague.

>Official Result: Nate Diaz defeats Anthony 'Showtime' Pettis (Knock Out (Punch) in 1:57 of round 1). The match was rated as being Good.

Thought it was pretty cool. Especially the Diaz fight. It was his first title defense after a very similar fight against Henderson, where he managed to throw on a triangle at the end of the first round after being knocked down for the 3rd time. If you take the real-life Cerrone and Miller fights into consideration, that's a very impressive four fight win streak against opponents who were favored to win.

Pettis was coming off of a win over Frankie Edgar, which bumped him into the #1 Lightweight spot.
