Jacko00 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 It seems to me that a lot of the fighters are based off real fighters. These are who i came up with. Fessik - Fedor Fernando Amaro - Matt Lindland Jack Humphreys - Matt Hughes Sean Morrison - Sean Sherk Go Yammato - Gomi James Foster - Randy Couture Tim Boyer - Tim Sylvia?

MrTootles Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Kunichi (spelling?) as Saku? "The Sniper" (I forget the guy's real name, at work right now) as Wandy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadisticBlessings Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 A couple connections I made, along with why I made them... Hiro Arai - Sakuraba (both have the excitement/popularity factor, likely protected from major competition) Roberto Aldez - Mix between Cro Cop (both have seen major success in Japan, specializing in brutal head kick KOs) and Wanderlei Silva (both are Brazilian Muay Thai KO machines) Leon Banks - Rampage (both have big slams, are highly ranked but often underestimated, and successful in Japan) Jerezo - Murilo Bustamante (both are early MW champions and experienced BJJ practitioners) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzie Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 jeff carlton reminds me of kevin randleman, heavyweight champ back in the day in ufc/gamma then went to pride/alpha-1 after losing the belt and has been there since.

He's an extremely talented wrestler. At a higher level than Gomi for sure, but he's seldom had to use it in his MMA career because his striking/strength advantage is so high at his weight. Gomi is probably better at submissions, but if we're talking straight wrestling I definitely don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dopefish Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Foster reminds me a lot more of a Tito than a Randy. Foster can get knocked out far to easy while Randy has only had one fighter knock him out and he's been in there with some of the best knockout guys the UFC has had.

Older most known fighter in the game like Randy Couture. I would also say that Raul Hughes is most like Chuck Liddell for the KO artist that he is.

Tommy J. Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Foster - Tito makes sense because Randy never really was the golden boy of the UFC (except for his last heavyweight run) whereas Tito really carried the promotion in the early 2000's. And he's also knocked on for fighting less then stellar opposition. Also I see Carlos da Guia more like a Luiz Azeredo, but that's probably because of the same weight class.

His dad actually represented Japan in the Olympics in wrestling, and both his sisters won world championships in freestyle. He actually grew up here in the States and was a multiple state champion in wrestling in high school. I think he moved back to Japan after high school though and started training.

Adam Ryland Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Virtually none of the fighters are based on specific real-life people, I don't have the in-depth knowledge required to do that even if I wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
