Thankfully, I found the secret to succeeding. You just have to, as soon as you hit International while all other areas are National, grab up as many Pay-Per-View deals as you can and only hold shows in your home area. That way, you draw a huge number of buys even with a poor show and make more than enough money to pay the bills.</p>

<strong>Show Rating: Poor</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<em>Commentary: Hassan Fezzik turned out not to be as much of a draw as anyone thought he was. Bummer. Anyway, this was a pretty solid card in my own opinion. Lindsey Lewis dominated Pamela O'Neill and clobbered her senseless in the first round, extending her winning streak and proving herself to be the best female in the world, her only loss being the controversial TKO loss to Layla Holmes during the women's openweight tournament. In some stunning news, young starlet Leslie Myers dethroned Thea Higgins for the first time in four years, winning the UFC Women's Lightweight title in the process in a very close match that went to the judges. Lastly, Hassan Fezzik barely managed to squeak out a decision victory over Aleksander Ivanov in a very poor-sported manner by basically smothering him to the ground all match. Overall, there will be at least two rematches stemming from this card. As for Lindsey Lewis, the fans must be wondering who in the women's heavyweight division might stand a chance against her seeing as she has defeated, well, everyone pretty much. Also, in cool news, we have over $10,000,000 for the first time ever! As a result of the events of certain fights tonight, the UFC's rules are being changed so that a referee may separate inactive fighters (in order to prevent smothering for points as Hassan Fezzik did) and downed fighters will be given a ten count to respond; hopefully, these changes will allow for better fights.</em></p>

<em>Commentary: I am once again smashed by confusion. All reports said that everyone was looking forward to every match on this card, yet the final rating was at the bottom of the barrel. This is quite annoying to say the least. Nothing makes sense anymore, and this will cost me dearly as television shows have much more impact on popularity than pay-per-view events do.</em></p>

You can sustain every level aside from high level international. To do that you need main events with 100% rep fighters, high level international pop, title on the line, and both on win streaks. You're just not padding guys records enough. You need to use all 20 fights.

 

Sometimes the way to pad is lame. Get to 20-0 by everyone fighting the same 10 cans twice but it works.

Commentary: We have another good show on our way back up. At this point, the UFC has most of the top tier fighters in the world, with only a few still contracted to GAMMA and ALPHA-1. It is only a matter of time before the UFC achieves complete domination of the world of mixed martial arts, if it has not done so already, that is. As of this show, we are now High Level International! At long last, the dreams of creating the greatest mixed martial arts promotion in the world has come true.

Commentary: Thanks to a scheduling goof on my part, this show took place on Sunday. Oops. Anyway, it was surprising that Mizuki Watanbe actually almost went the distance with Lindsey Lewis; still, the domination continues. In a very shocking upset, Affonso Villar toppled UFC Cruiserweight Champion William Harrison to take the title; it was a good match, and very entertaining to watch.

Commentary: This show was amazing for one reason and one reason only: it signified the UFC's victory in its quest for the complete and total domination of the world of mixed martial arts! As of this show, we have reached maximum popularity! Congratulations to all the fighters who made this moment possible! Just on a side note, the number of viewers we had in America for this show was more than even the number of viewers popular prime time shows get, which is a pretty big personal victory for me. (I do realize the only way to go now is down, but as of this moment, I consider the game "won".)
