nazzac Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 *April 2018* The new era for the UFC is here. WIMG have sold the World's leading Mixed Martial Arts company to an unknown billionaire who goes by the name 'nazzac'. The new owner stresses that there will be changes on the way for the organization, starting with the launch of the UFC's brand new own tv channel called "UFC TV". The new station will not only feature classic fights and original content, UFC TV will also broadcast at least one live event every month. This also means that the deal with Fox will be terminated immediately. The new owner has also stated that the UFC market is 'over saturated' and promises to bring quality cards over quantity. There will also be many cuts to the roster as nazzac states there are too many fighters within the organization to manage effectively. There will also be new rules applied to the octagon. Knees and kicks to a downed opponent are now legal. "Our aim is to fulfill the potential this sport has. In my opinion, MMA is the best sport in the world and it should be treated as such. The new era of the UFC will aim to bring not only the organization, but the sport in general into the mainstream across the globe." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazzac Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Recent history I started this game before posting this thread, so here is an indication of what has happened over the past few months of my save.

Tonya Evinger via TKO (Strikes) Rd 1, 1:35 Flyweight: Ben Nguyen def. Jussier Formiga via Unanimous Decision (30-27 x3) It was a big night in Perth, but one the Aussie fans may want to forget. Luke Rockhold defeated home favourite Robert Whittaker via submission in the fourth round to reclaim the Middleweight title. Whittaker got the better of the stand-up exchanges, but after sustaining a right hand injury, the challenger opted to bring the fight to the ground in the third. A dominant round from Rockhold set the tone for the fourth which ended with him making Whittaker tap with a rear naked choke. Curtis Blaydes fell injured and was forced out of his fight with Mark Hunt in the co-main event. However, Josh Barnett was a shock replacement, and the Warmaster returned to action in dominant fashion. Barnett wasted no time getting the fight to the mat and from there it was no contest as he quickly submitted Hunt in the first round. Hector Lombard and Lyoto Machida fought a close fight which went the distance. The two veterans went back and forth for three rounds with the Cuban getting the nod. Megan Anderson made her UFC debut in style by finishing Tonya Evinger in the first round. The Aussie rocked the American early and did not let up as he opponent was forced against the cage. The referee had seen enough and Anderson was declared the victor. The main card started with a good performance from Ben Nguyen in the Flyweight division. Despite being the underdog, Nguyen kept the fight standing and out landed his opponent for a dominant decision win. - Isreal Adesanya lost his UFC debut via TKO to Rob Wilkinson - Lando Vanatta returned to winning ways against Damien Brown UFC Fight Night: Cerrone vs Maia Welterweight: Demian Maia def.

The Hawaian landed a head kick that dropped Edgar early and from there he got on top and finished the job in a great performance. The upset of the night came at Bantamweight where Brian Caraway came from two rounds down on the scorecards to finish former champion Cody Garbrandt in the third round. Caraway caught Cody in a headlock as he shot for a takedown and from there he applied the D'arce for the submission victory. Paulo Henrique Costa continued his impressive UFC run with a TKO win over Elias Theodorou.

Khabib Nurmagomedov was confirmed as McGregor's next challenger Joanna got her revenge on 'Thug' Rose with a dominant TKO victory in their rematch for the UFC Womens Strawweight title. The Polish striker unleashed a barrage of strikes on a hurt Namajunas to force the stoppage and win back the Strawweight crown Chris Weidman returned to action in his home state with an impressive win over Jacare Souza. Weidman rocked the Brazilian with a right hook in the second round before finishing the fight with some vicious ground and pound. Weidman called out Luke Rockhold for a rematch after the fight. Anthony Pettis was impressive in his win over Mike Chiesa, but it was two other Lightweights that stole the show.

This is an early contender for fight of the year with both men leaving it all in the cage. - Karolina Kowalkiewicz returned to action with a win over Felice Herrig - Gregor Gillespie dominated David Teymur to remain unbeaten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
