Epic Fights

[RingofHonorGuard]

<p>No, I'm not talking about -Excellent- rated fights. The rating doesn't matter(and in a lot of cases really misses in terms of excitement imo), but what I'm saying is... fights that you've watched the engine unravel that you have read and been amazed by. </p><p> </p><p> Anyway, this idea spawned to me after simming a few years with the UFC, and putting together a "sportmans" fight between Jeremy Horn and Drew Fickett. The match got a "Good" rating, which baffles me. Anyway, this fight was awesome to read as it went along, enjoy it along with me. I think this fight is an excellent example of Adam's work he puts into the game. But this fight should have been rated as 'Epic'. lol</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="27571" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>>Another match is about to begin; Jeremy 'Gumby' Horn fights Drew 'The Master' Fickett in the UFC Welterweight division. <p> >And here we go!</p><p> >Fickett throws a couple of jabs as a set up, then shoots in for a takedown.</p><p> >The takedown is successful, Horn pulls guard.</p><p> >Fickett is trying to pass guard.</p><p> >He can't quite manage to get past guard on this attempt.</p><p> >Horn tries to ensare Fickett in a guillotine.</p><p> >Horn uses the guillotine position well, sweeping Fickett over into side control.</p><p> >Horn looks to roll Fickett slightly and slip behind.</p><p> >Horn isn't able to get behind Fickett this time around.</p><p> >Fickett transitions to half guard.</p><p> >Horn tries to ensare Fickett in a kimura.</p><p> >Fickett defends himself well and is in no danger.</p><p> >Fickett reaches over and tries to lock Horn in a guillotine.</p><p> >Horn pulls his head free before the hold can be applied properly.</p><p> >We go past the halfway point of this round.</p><p> >In half guard, Horn throws a couple of punches designed to keep Fickett guessing.</p><p> >In half guard, Horn begins working to get side control.</p><p> >Horn isn't able to pass from half guard thanks to the tenacious defence of Fickett.</p><p> >Fickett tries to pull Horn into a guillotine choke from the bottom of half guard.</p><p> >The choke is applied, but with only a few seconds left Horn will survive!</p><p> >The time runs out on round one.</p><p> >That round goes to Fickett, 10-9 on my card.</p><p> >And here we go, round two!</p><p> >From what we could hear of his corner, it sounds like Horn has been instructed to try and get Fickett to the floor in this round.</p><p> >Fickett throws a couple of jabs as a set up, then shoots in for a takedown.</p><p> >Horn saw the takedown coming, he tries to grab a guillotine.</p><p> >He has the takedown!
