Another Boring UFC Dynasty

SpinningBackFist · July 7, 2013

Background:

So I have a save that is pretty far along and I decided to post it here. I'll take it back from the start and post all of my old events just like I were doing it live. I'll let you guys make predictions and keep track of those points. Some kind of award will be given to the winner(s) once we catch up to where I'm at in the save.

Let's set the stage. Brock Lesnar was relevant, Alistair Overeem was still a title contender, Anderson Silva was Middleweight Champion (he hadn't even fought Sonnen for a second time) and Dominick Cruz didn't yet suffer a debilitating knee injury.

I'm using one of the Modern Warriors mods (which one I cannot recall) and the save starts in December of 2011. I'm currently in February of 2015. So it should be a fun ride. This won't be the most detailed for a while, it's mostly going to be a results thread. Largely because I don't have a lot of access to what the rankings would have been or who I signed and when I signed them.

Background - Chael Sonnen suffered a tragic loss to Anderson Silva just last year. He rebounded with a big victory over Brian Stann by Arm Triangle and now all that stand between him and his super anticipated rematch against the Spider his Alan Belcher. Dana White has confirmed that the winner of this fight will be in line for a title shot with Silva. Sonnen is a heavy favorite.

Alan "The Talent" Belcher is a phenomenal talent. At 26 he is coming off of three straight wins including a Submission via Strikes in his last bout against Jason MacDonald. Belcher is a fast rising prospect and he is hoping that he can take the next step with a win over Sonnen.

Alan Belcher is thrilled in his post fight interview and claims he is absolutely ready for Anderson Silva. Chael looks absolutely beside himself.

#17 Anthony Pettis vs. #9 Gray Maynard

Background - Anthony Pettis is electrifying. He's a young fearsome striker. He certainly looks to upset the established Maynard and a win here in this co-main event thrusts him into International Superstardom for sure

Maynard isn't the youngest guy around. He has boatloads of experience, he's a dominating wrestler and has cinderblocks for hands. After some really tough go arounds with Frankie Edgar it is time for him to build his way back.

Tale of the Tape
Pettis:
Age - 24
Record - 14-2
Style - Taekwondo

#1 Cain Velasquez© vs. #2 Junior Dos Santos

Background - Cain Velasquez is coming off of a devastating TKO of Brock Lesnar in order to win the title. Brock was coming off a rather severe bout with diverticulitis so say what you will about whether that dampens his victory, he still has the belt around his waist. He's looking to legitimize himself further by beating Dos Santos.

Big Junior Dos Santos comes into the Octagon on an 8 fight win streak. He will enjoy a size advantage over the smaller Velasquez. Dos Santos has hands of granite and although he doesn't have the wrestling ability of Cain, if he lands one shot it's goodnight for the champ.

Losing by Arm Triangle Choke to Chael Sonnen in his last outing Stann is looking to right the ship and again begin his assent. Alessio Sakara is an exciting fighter to watch. Three straight wins of his own until losing to young prospect Chris Weidman in his last fight. Much in the same situation as Stann, he does have a big split decision win over former title-contender Thales Leites anchoring his record. Tale of the Tape: Stann: Age - 30 Record - 12-4 Style - Kick Boxers Height - 6'1" Weight - 185lbs Sakara: Age - 29 Record - 15-8-1 Style - Boxing Height - 6'1" Weight - 185lbs Rd. 1 The men touch gloves and we're underway. This is the first fight of the night and it has the potential to have the most fireworks. Both men feeling each other out with a couple of light jabs. Sakara pulls out a head kick that misses. Stann throws his own head kick in response that soars over a ducking Sakara. Sakara hits Stann with a hook. First significant strike of the fight. Halfway point and the crowd is getting restless. Sakara reaches out for a straight that misses and Stann fires off a head kick... Which lands! It hits Sakara hard and he immediately falls to the ground. Sakara quickly turtles up but Stann pounces on him and begins raining blows. The ref stops the fight as Stann punishes the downed Italian. Winner: Brian Stann via TKO at 3:38 in the First Round</div></blockquote> Stann announces how thrilled he was with the win and can't wait to fight again. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36359" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>#13 Brian Ebersole vs. #17 Jake Shields Background - Brian Ebersole is coming off three straight wins including back to back wins in his first two UFC fights against Chris Lytle and Dennis Hallman. Jake Shields - Coming off a depressing loss to Georges St. Pierre for the belt and then a TKO loss to Jake Ellenberger all after a very underwhelming and controversial win over Martin Kampmann, Jake Shields hasn't had a start to his UFC career he would have liked. He's looking to change directions against a streaking Brian Ebersole. Tale of the Tape: Ebersole: Age - 30 Record - 48-14-1-1 Style - Freestyle Wrestling Height - 6'0" Weight - 170lbs Shields: Age - 32 Record - 26-6-1 Style - Ameri-Jitsu Height - 6'0" Weight - 170lbs Rd. 1 Shields comes out jabbing away. He lands a few. Ebersole circling away. Shields grapples with Ebersole. Ebersole leverages his way into double underhooks. Ebersole backs Shields into the cage. Ebersole is pinning Shields against the cage and firing off a few knees to Shields' thigh. Halfway point of the round. Finally the referee backs them off the cage and into center. Fight restarts, Shields lands a hook to the body. A front kick from shields. Ebersole dives in for a takedown. Shields is on his back. Round one ends with Ebersole in top control. Round 1 - 10-9 Ebersole Rd. 2 Ebersole comes out looking the aggressor. Ebersole fires off a leg kick and Shields leaps in for a takedown. Takedown granted. Shields is in the guard. Shields is working from guard, posturing up and landing a few shots. Ebersole regains control of posture. Halfway through round two. Shields moves into half guard. Rather stagnant but working enough to keep from being stood up. Shields slips into side control. The round ends, but not until Shields unloads a few knees to Ebersole's ribs. Round 2 - 10-9 Shields Rd. 3 Ebersole flings a couple of jabs that find air. Shields lands a few leg kicks. Both men circling one another. Shields begins to find a home for his jab. Ebersole is looking rather ragged. He's getting hit with quite a number of swift jabs. Shields hits a stiffening straight at the halfway point of the round. Ebersole lunges for a takedown and he takes Shields to the mat... but Shields rolls with the takedown and ends up on top of Ebersole. Shields actually catches Ebersole in a scramble and ends up in back side control. He rains down a few hammerfists and knees until the bell rings, not able to inflict any major damage. Ebersole turtled well. Round 3 - 10-9 Shields. Winner: Shields wins via Unanimous Decision (30-27/30-27/30-27)</div></blockquote> Shields announced he was happy to be back in the win column. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36359" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> Brandon Vera vs. #13 Forrest Griffin Background - Brandon Vera's UFC career has hid a skid. Several losses and a no contest in his last fight against Thiago Silva means this match against Forrest Griffin is almost a must win. Griffin is coming off of a knockout loss at the hands of Mauricio Rua. With recent uneventful wins over Rich Franklin and rival Tito Ortiz I'm sure Forrest is looking to get an impressive victory in this one to get himself back in title talk. Tale of the Tape: Vera: Age - 33 Record - 11-6-1 Style - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Height - 6'3" Weight - 205lbs Griffin: Age - 31 Record - 18-7 Style - Kickboxing/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Height - 6'3" Weight - 205lbs Rd. 1 Griffin touch gloves at center and we're underway. Vera is bouncing around the ring looking very active. Griffin is the exact opposite, he seems to be plodding. Vera snaps a few jabs and bounces a circle away from Forrest Griffin. Griffin stepping forward hits a straight. Vera launches a leg kick, that snaps on the outside of Forrest's left leg. Vera hits a leg kick again on the same spot. Forrest throws a front kick to Vera's midsection. Halfway point of round one. Vera with another leg kick and there's a welt forming on Griffin's leg. Vera feints a leg kick and fires on to Griffin's ribs. Griffin sees a body kick coming and grabs it, resulting in a takedown of Vera. Griffin works his way rather quickly around Vera's guard and finds himself in mount. Vera is a BJJ Black Belt but he's found himself quickly at a loss on the ground. Griffin is sitting on Vera's chest but only lands a few clean shots before the round ends. Exciting round one. Round One - 10-9 Vera. Rd. 2 Round two starts with another Vera leg kick. Griffin is trying to be more in motion but it doesn't seem to be working. Vera cracks another leg kick and the crowd grunts. Griffin is definitely limping slightly. Vera fires a few jabs. Aside from Vera's leg kicks there's been little offense from either fighter. Vera is pressing the action this round for sure. Griffin fires a few jabs. Vera lands another leg kick, but to the opposite leg. Halfway through the round. Griffin grapples with Vera. Griffin tries to back Vera into the cage but Vera weasels his way out of it without taking any damage. Vera fires off another leg kick and Forrest Griffin nearly falls. Vera rushes in trying to take advantage of the opening but instead leaves himself open and Griffin lands several big shots. Griffin hits a few more big shots as the round closes. Another strong finish by Griffin to a round won by Vera. Round Two - 10-9 Vera Rd. 3 Round three begins. In my opinion Griffin needs a finish in this round. Griffin rattles off a couple of straights and jabs that all land on Vera's chin. Griffin looks to have a little pep in his step with last rounds end. Vera fires off a strong hook that catches Griffin hard. Griffin smiles and the crowd cheers. Griffin catches Vera coming forward and takes him down. Griffin is in half guard. Only 2:30 left in the round and Griffin is posturing up in half guard. Griffin lands a few clean blows before Vera begins to scramble. Griffin swings over to Back Mount as he catches Vera on the way out. Griffin is trying to work a Rear Naked Choke. He has the hooks in. Vera is fighting it well. Griffin starts to unload some hooks and elbows to loosen him up. Griffin his hitting some solid blows but Vera isn't able to move out of this position. The round comes to an end with Griffin dominating. Round 3 - 10-9 Griffin. Winner: Griffin via Split Decision (29-28/29-28/28-29)</div></blockquote> The crowd boos the decision. Forrest Griffin laughs in his post fight interview and gives the usual answers. He says Vera fought very well, walks over and raises Vera's hand. I think Griffin even knows this was a robbery. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36359" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> Ben Rothwell vs. #4 Frank Mir Background - Ben Rothwell is coming off of a miserable unanimous decision loss to Mark Hunt. After a rumored third match with Brock Lesnar was proven to be false and the lack of suitable opponents for Frank Mir, Ben Rothwell begged to be given the chance. He's promised a victory over Frank and for one reason or another Dana has agreed to give him the chance. Frank Mir is coming off a mediocre win against Mirko CroCop and a bore decision win over Roy Nelson. That being said he's still a top dog in the thin Heavyweight division. A win here is sure to give him a number one contender rubber match versus Lesnar. Tale of the Tape Rothwell: Age - 29 Record - 31-8 Style - Kickboxing/Wrestling Height - 6'5" Weight - 265lbs Mir: Age - 31 Record - 15-6 Style - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Height - 6'3" Weight - 265lbs Rd. 1 Frank Mir comes out racing towards Ben Rothwell and he reaches to grapple him up. Rothwell shakes off the grapple and flings Mir a few feet from him. The crowd roars at the fast start to the match. Rothwell flashes Mir an evil smile. There is bad blood between these two. Frank Mir reaches with a jab and misses. Rothwell ties him up and drives him into the cage. Rothwell lifts up Mir,onto his shoulder! Mir tries to grab a guillotine choke but can't. Rothwell plants him into the mat and Mir is absolutely dazed. Rothwell has Mir's head pressed against the cage and has a knee on his chest Ben Rothwell begins showering Mir in huge shots. He's raining punches and Mir has no idea where he is. The fight is stopped! Rothwell with a huge upset! I think Mir was knockout out on impact. Winner: Ben Rothwell via TKO at 1:45 in Round One[/Quote] Rothwell is ecstatic in the interview. The fans are on their feet and Rothwell is bragging about knowing he was going to beat Mir all alone. He's thanking Dana White for letting him prove he can be an elite heavyweight. Mir's interview is sullen. He understand he just dropped a lot of rungs on the ladder. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36359" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Fight of the Night Bonuses ($30,000 a Piece Fight of the Night: Ben Rothwell vs. Frank Mir KO of the Night: Brian Stann Submission of the Night: N/A[/Quote] Upcoming UFC Events: UFC 138: Edgar vs. Guida <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36359" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Main Event - #1 Frankie Edgar© vs. #6 Clay Guida - Lightweight Co-Main Event - #2 Alistair Overeem vs. #5 Brock Lesnar - Heavyweight Main Card - #12 Tyson Griffin vs. #25 Michihiro Omigawa - Featherweight Undercard - #19 Stanislav Nedkov vs. #21 Rich Franklin - Light Heavyweight Undercard - Aaron Simpson vs. C.B.
