Hello friends! I was away again by mishaps of the day, and I stopped the dynasty that had begun.

 

Now I'm on vacation to start a new project, following more or less the same line of using more than one organization.

 

But this time I will only use UFC, Bellator MMA and Rizin FF. Plus the other organizations will get results, news and even play-by-play depending on the event.

 

I will adapt something I have seen in the Steerpike dynasty, which will facilitate and speed up much in the development of the story.

 

Let's try again!
