I have HHH on the roster and plan on signing Waltman when his WCW contract expires. I'll look into some positive influences and see if that helps. Thanks

That would suck as I don't want to lose Owen

It is very possible

Will that work? He's my WWF Champion and I'm trying to delay something like that until after he drops the belt at Wrestlemania in 3 weeks, but if I have to I can have him drop the belt sooner.

I am playing the Post-Montreal mod and Shawn Michaels is an absolute terror. He has turned the locker room against Vader and is now starting to do the same to Owen Hart. Other than firing him it doesn't appear there is anything I can do without using the editor. Is there a way to talk to him, fine him, or suspend him that I am not seeing?

Yep, so when it came time for them to debut their date changed to 2997 out of nowhere.

Another set of doubles found. Karou Uno and Caol Uno

I went and checked my game after you said this and mine has PRIDE set to open in January 2007 in the editor. However, I am in February 1996 so I have not had them open yet, but will update when I get there.

Great work on the update, I've really enjoyed playing it. I just wanted to point out that even after the update Volk Han is still appearing both under his real name and as Volk Han for your future updates. Also Tank Aboott's name is listed as Tank "Tank" Abbott instead of David "Tank" Abbott or just Tank Abbott

I'd like to be able to control what companies end up on the broadcast companies the company I'm running creates. In my current save Bellator is on UFC Fight Pass and we all know unless the UFC buys Bellator that is not going to happen. Also, my child promotion isn't on Fight Pass and doesn't really have a tv deal and I would like to be able to get them on there to help them out.

One more note, Amir Aliakbari is no longer with the UFC as his profile lists him as a former fighter and he is listed as a competitor in BRAVE's Openweight GP

I have some more notes about fighter retirements and some skill changes for the next update if the modders are interested

<p>Freezing contracts with retirement</p><p> </p><p> I think that when a fighter retires their contract should be frozen rather than them becoming a free agent if they decide to unretire. This is what the UFC does in real life, and it's a pain having to go through the resigning process.</p>

Would you like some help with things like this? I don't have a lot of time I can devote to it consistently, but I would be glad to do what I can.

Just some things for the next update regarding the UFC roster. Reza Madidi is retired and Yoatzin Meza is now in Combate Americas. Brian Camozzi is now doing kickboxing instead of mma.

Thank you for the update. Your work is greatly appreciated

Thanks for the advice everyone. As someone who hadn't played any of the games since 05 this is a vast improvement, glad I picked it up

Pretty much the headline, is this game worth buying before 2020 comes out or should I just wait?

UFC 104: Marcello vs Hansen Results: Prelims: Jason Miller (1-0) defeated Ryuta Sakurai (11-7) by Unanimous Decision. Miller controlled the fight on the feet for the short periods of time it was there.

Post fight Lytle says he has a lot of respect for Townsend Saunders and thinks they would have a great fight. Semmy Schilt (9-6) defeated Gilbert Yvel (4-4) by KO at 1:15. Yvel may regret taking this fight on just 9 days notice as Schilt countered an Yvel right hook with a superman punch for the knockout. Artur Mariano (7-5) defeated Stephan Bonnar (0-1) by Unanimous Decision. A very kick heavy attack allowed Bonnar to win the striking battle, but Mariano's grappling and ground and pound proved to be too much in the eyes of the judges in this fight. Main Card: Rafael Cordeiro (21-12) defeated Fabiano Iha (4-4) by TKO at 1:07. Cordeiro floored Iha with a 4 punch combination and followed with ground and pound for the quick victory.

Noguiera had no problems taking Sudo down at will, but had problems keeping him there as Sudo kept finding his way back to his feet.

Caol Uno (14-9) defeated Sean Sherk (10-6) by Rear Naked Choke at 37:36. Sherk controlled the fight both on the feet and on the ground for the vast majority of the fight.

Rumina Sato (23-7) defeated Joe Hurley (2-3) by Rear Naked Choke at 11:06. A complete shutout by Sato as he quickly took Hurley down and worked to take his back. Hurley valiantly defended multiple choke attempts, but the relentless attack eventually proved too much. Tony DeSouza (3-1) defeated Townsend Saunders (4-5) by Armbar at 2:08. Saunders got a quick takedown and attempted some light ground and pound while DeSouza showed an active guard looking for armbar and triangles before finally landing an armbar. Rafael Cordeiro (22-12) defeated Alexandre Franca Noguiera (13-2) by Armbar at 14:07. This fight proved to be a mirror image of the previous fight, except on a longer scale as Noguiera got the quick takedown with light ground and pound as Cordeiro attempted submissions off of his back before locking up the arm and getting the submission. Rumina Sato (24-7) defeated Caol Uno (14-10) by D'Arce Choke at 4:20. Sato got a quick takedown, but had some temporary trouble passing Uno's guard.

Rumina Sato (25-7) defeated Rafael Cordeiro (22-13) by Armbar at 3:41. Sato immediately pursued the takedowns and Cordeiro defended the first one, but was pressed against the fence by it. Sato then got the takedown and worked to pass, but Cordeiro won out and ended up on top after the scramble. Sato then locked up the arm from the bottom to win tonight's tournament. With this all 7 of tonight's tournament matches ended with finishes. Christiano Marcello (12-4) defeated Joachim Hansen (11-6) by Rear Naked Choke at 29:45 to retain the UFC Lightweight Championship. Hansen landed a quick right hook dropping Marcello, but Marcello survived the onslaught of soccer kicks and got back to his feet. Marcello then became much more defense oriented on the feet. The pair exchanged takedowns with Marcello eventually passing to Hansen's back and locking in the choke. This marks Marcello's 5th successful title defense.

Breaking News: Ricco Rodriguez has broken his hand and been forced to withdraw from his UFC 104 bout with Semmy Schilt. Gilbert Yvel (NR)(4-3) has agreed to step in to face Schilt on short notice.

I second this. Rizin has talent exchanges with Bellator, KSW, RoadFC, Pancrase, Shooto, and I think others. Would be cool to replicate.

Main Card: Carlos Newton (20-8) defeated Delson Heleno (1-1) by Rear Naked Choke at 37:30.

In yet another huge upset tonight, +740 underdog Chonnan was able to defeat former 2 time UFC Welterweight Champion Karo Parisyan by Unanimous Decision. Parysian did get the better of the striking exchanges early, but Chonnan's relentless pursuit of takedowns eventually paid off as he was able to keep the fight on the floor and land ground and pound and attempt submissions until the bell. Fabio Gurgel (20-20) defeated Enson Inoue (9-12) by TKO (Cut) at 50:32. A very grappling oriented fight, both men landed takedowns but had problems keeping the other man down once they got them there. Gurgel was able to open Inoue up with an elbow from the clinch against the cage, that immediately caused the referee to step in and ask for the doctor to check it. The doctor then wasted no time stopping the fight. Matt Serra (18-6) defeated Carlos Newton (20-9) by TKO at 13:35. A very closely contested contest. Both men shot 3 takedowns, but none of them were successful. Instead the fight would take place on the feet where Newton would land more volume, and Serra landing the bigger shots. Eventually Serra landed a well timed right uppercut to knock Newton out and advance to tonight's finals. Ryo Chonnan (3-0) defeated Wander Braga (11-9) by Unanimous Decision.
