GP99 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 For better or for worse, what are some of yours? Frankie Edgar: 0-3-1 in last 4 fights. After having his classic brawl with Gray that ended in a draw, they met again. Gray missed weight, but went on to hand Frankie a loss in a non-title match. Next in line was #1 contender, Anthony Pettis. After being stopped by Gray, Frankie took this one the distance only to lose his belt to the very last WEC Lightweight champ, Anthony Pettis. At UFC 140: Velasquez vs. Lesnar II, Frankie met Jeremy Stephans. With under 90 seconds to go, Frankie went into coast mode only for Jeremy to get a TKO victory. After his most recent loss, Frankie has been dropped to featherweight, looking to revamp his career there. He's slated to mee Yves Joubin at Ultimate Fight Night: Serra vs. Hardy. BJ Penn: 3-0 in last 3 fights. After many people counted him out after two straight losses to Frankie Edgar, Penn jumped to welterweight. There, we saw him KO Hughes within seconds. He then went on to fight Jon Fitch in a 3 round snoozer, but eventually walked away with a win. With two big victories under his belt, Baby J got a 3rd chance at his rival, Georges St. Pierre. Penn did enough to keep the fight close, but in the championship rounds, GSP busted Penn open. Yet, with 31 seconds left in the fight, Penn snuck in an armbar, forcing GSP to tap, allowing Penn to claim the Welterweight title. Penn will defend the belt at UFC 144: Penn vs. Alves against Thiago Alves. I'll add more later. What are yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffanka Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Joaquim Fontes came into ALPHA-1 May 2001 as the #1 ranked middleweight in the world. After winning his first fight by submission he went on a spectacular losing streak, dropping six consecutive fights, three against top notch fighters (Deguchi, da Costa, Huang) and three against completely unranked fighters (Mal Phe Roby, Ikku Funaki, Drew Jenks by submission!) He went from the #1 middleweight in the world to complete obscurity in 11 months and dropped from ~90% reputation to ~25% in two years. Since then he's turned his fortunes around by FINALLY beating a total can and then submitting rising 10-0 regen prospect Sen Oyama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinderkun Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Kyle Sagal keeps Fitch-ing everyone I put him up against. It's frustrating because I try to hype his opponents up, too, thinking they're the perfect guy to beat him, and he keeps ruining it. Even more frustrating is that he's not even that good of a fighter. I mean on paper, he is not especially impressive. I don't know how he keeps pulling it off, but at this rate I'll have no choice but to give him a title match. He's won his last four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtplaystew Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Rory Fagin stunk on ice in my first game I had. I deleted that save for a multitude of reasons, but basically I messed witht he editor so I could buy Alpha 1 and never stopped messing with the editor until I basically broke the game. I picked him up in my current game to be a tin can and he starts beating my prospects! Then, he he beat Philip Ziskie and I'm like... "no way". Then he beat Li-Ho Kong for the GAMMA featherwight title in August of 2003. He would go on to defend the belt 9 times over the next few years. More title defenses than anyone in my company's history. He was my company's highest paid guy for awhile. I guess he had a good "destiny" stat with the new game save or something. To be honest his stats aren't THAT amazing. I guess stuff was just going his way for awhile. it doesn't hurt that most of my featherweight fighters were junk and I stay away from rematches as best I can unless there's no one else. Still, he beat Kong in their rematch and didn't lose until I moved Sukarno down to FW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsilv0 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Chris Lytle went on a streak where he beat John Howard by armbar in the 3rd round, Johnny Hendricks by guillotine in the 2nd round, Anthony Johnson by tko in the 2nd round (in a completly 1-sided fight), and Jon Fitch by split decision. He won submission of the nights for both submission wins and fight of the night for the Johnson fight. He is scheduled to main event my next ppv against Georges St. Pierre for the welterwight title.

LoNdOn Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 <p>Ian Linderman decided in my recent GAMMA game that he no longer wished to be seen as a can. In 1998 he went on a 3 fight win streak, beating fighters who had no right to compete with. He got a UD over Henry Baldwin, Moss Gilbert (who aren't world beaters themselves but are still superior to Linderman) and then he went on to get a sound UD over Luke Hilton!</p><p> </p><p> In his fourth fight of the year I put him in the cage with Korekiyo Anzai who took him out in the second round with an armbar. I have a feeling Linderman isn't done quite yet.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From being 12-7 and coming off a 4 fight winless streak against fighters who are not at the top he won the tournament at UFC 141 and has not looked back since. Beating the previously undefeated Floyd Mayweather twice beating two talented regens and then beating Gomi who was on a 7 fight win streak.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
