MMA e-fed/fantasy league

[dubb93]

I'm running an MMA e-fed/fantasy league type game with a friend of mine using a sim called no holds barred. We are looking for fighters to fill out our roster so we may begin. Although the fights will be simulated using a simulator, results will be hand written. A link to the board in question is: [url]http://premier.digitalstadium.org/phpBB2/[/url] We would be thankful if anyone would be willing to give it a shot, I'm sure you will have fun. This will be my second league I have ran, here is a previous writing sample. Keep in mind I do not claim to have great writing ability but I do my best. "The Next Big MMA Star Episode 2 :The show begins the same exact way the previous show ended. Miles Esterhaus is in the ring with his arms raised in victory. Cut to Dubb93 in his office: “Two really surprising fights kicked off the first season of this show. First, who would have predicted Owen Hunter to win by knockout in just six seconds? Second, everyone expected Miles Esterhaus to win easily, but Moses Keane really kicked the **** out of him. One takedown that gave him mount the was the difference in the fight. If those two were to fight again, I think Moses Keane knocks him out.” :The fighters are shown training and hanging out in the house. Dan Severn approaches Rob Nielson and we cut to the training room: Dubb93 begins to speak. “Two of you have already been sent home. We gather here again today to make two more fights. If you are selected to fight you better be ready to go in there and leave with no regrets. Moses Keane was defeated, but he has nothing to be ashamed of. He fought his ass off, and I think we all know damn well he has no regrets. There was nothing more he could have done. Now onto the heavyweight matchup. Team Severn gets to make the fight.” Dan Severn begins to speak, “We will be sending Rob 'Java' Nielson out to fight Koloski “The Polish” Hammer.” :Team Severn looks shocked as does Dubb93 and Ken Shamrock: After a long silence, Dubb93 speaks again, “Ken, now you get to make the welterweight fight.” Ken Shamrock begins to speak, “We are going to matchup Dan Boyer against Jace Hunter.” :Both Dan and Jace appear completely confident: Dubb93 speaks again, “The fights have been set, prepare. I can't say that enough. No regrets. The winners will advance to the semi-finals and the losers will be sent home immediately. Good luck.” :Team Severn members talk about being in shock that Dan Severn would throw Java to the wolves and match him up against the one guy that can really take advantage of his chin. They sound very upset. Both teams are happy with the welterweight match-up and both think their fighter will take it. Now we get ready for the fights: Heavyweight Elimination Fight Koloski “the Polish” Hammer Height: 6'2 Weight: 264lbs Age: 31 vs. Rob 'Java' Nielsen Height: 6'3 Weight: 210lbs Age: 33 Round 1: Wow, what a bad match-up for Java. His weakness is his chin, and if anyone is going to hit him hard it will be Koloski. Java has more pure talent and should win this fight, but Koloski has even more of a punchers chance than he would against anyone else in the competition. The fight starts out slow. Koloski forces a clinch. He will look to use his strength to wear down Java. Koloski lands a nice hard shot to the body and then drives Java into the cage. Java is able to escape at 0:48. Quick leg kick by Java. Koloski tries to get in punching distance, but Java lands another good leg kick. Leg kick blocked and Koloski lands a nice counter jab. Koloski tries to force a clinch, but can't catch the much faster Java. Java lands another nice leg kick. This is his bread and butter, if he keeps landing this it won't be long before Koloski isn't moving very well. Another low leg kick scores cleanly. Java drives the weakened Koloski into the cage and searches for a double-leg takedown. Nice sprawl by Koloski, Java is forced to pull guard. He has half guard at 1:21. Java tries a neck crank, Koloski slips out after a few seconds. Another neck crank attempt, nothing. Koloski needs to get active. Java improves to full guard. Nice series of shots land from the top by Koloski. Java tries another neck crank, IT LOOKS DEEP! KOLOSKI IS FIGHTING IT, OH HE JUST IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT! KOLOSKI COMES RIGHT BACK, HUGE PUNCHES FROM THE TOP! JAVA IS NOW RATTLED! Koloski drives Java into the fence. Java tries to grab a leg, but he can't quite get it. Another neck crank attempt, nothing. I can't believe Koloski didn't follow up when he had Java hurt. It now looks as if his opportunity slipped away at 2:11. Java still has full guard, OH MY GOD! WHAT A SHOT FROM THE TOP BY KOLOSKI! NIELSON IS FINISHED! THE REF JUMPS IN AND STOPS THE FIGHT AT 2:15! Will this one be scored a KO? No, looks like a TKO/referee stoppage/straight right from full guard. How strong is Koloski if he can land a right hand from FULL GUARD and stop somebody? Prehaps next time we see Java he will be fighting at light heavyweight. Winner: Koloski “The Polish” Hammer Team Shamrock takes control of heavyweight match-ups. Send in fight by 5:00 PM EST Wednesday Welterweight Elimination Fight Jace Hunter Height: 6'0 Weight: 170 Age: 29 vs. Dan “The Vampire” Boyer Height: 5'10 Weight: 169 Age: 23 Round 1: The fight starts out VERY slow. Finally after nearly thirty full seconds Boyer strikes first landing a nice low kick. Jace Hunter, not fazed by the kick, jumps in quick and drives Boyer into the cage. BOYER GIVES UP HIS BACK! HUNTER HAS A BELLY TO BACK CLINCH! BOYER IS ABLE TO ESCAPE! That was close. Now Boyer comes in quick and drives Jace Hunter into the cage. Solid elbow lands for “The Vampire”, but Hunter comes right back with a nice uppercut. Hunter is able to escape at 1:02. HUGE JAB LANDS FOR BOYER! JACE HUNTER LOOKS SERIOUSLY HURT! Boyer drives him into the cage. Can he finish this fight? Nice body shot lands for Boyer. What a cheap headbutt by Hunter! That one could really change the outcome of the fight. The ref separates the two fighters and gives Boyer time to recover. He also gives Jace Hunter an official warning. That was really a cheap move because Jace was nearly out, and with one cheap shot he is given time to recover. It looks like that headbutt busted Dan “The Vampire” Boyer open on his forehead. Will that become a factor in this fight? If the fight is stopped as a result of that cut, Jace Hunter will win. The action restarts. Boyer grabs Hunter in a clinch and goes for a knee to the head. Can't quite connect. And just like that “The Vampire” breaks the clinch. Now Jace Hunter forces the clinch and lands a nice uppercut from inside. “The Vampire” shoots in, and he has a leg sweep takedown. Jace Hunter has full guard at 1:45. Hunter tries a neck crank, nothing there. He is very dangerous on the ground with submissions. Boyer would be smart to stand up. Hunter lands some nice shots to the head from the bottom. Jace Hunter grabs a leg and goes for a toe hold, Boyer slips out and both fighters get to their feet. Back in “The Vampire's” world. Jace Hunter tries to force a clinch, no, but he is able to land a nice jab. Boyer fires a hook, it misses wildly, but Hunter lands a nice cross. Clinch, Boyer tries to land some knees, but they are all blocked. Hunter breaks free and misses with a cross. Another clinch, Jace Hunter tries a head-lock takedown, no, “The Vampire” slips out. Still in the clinch, nice body shots land for Hunter. Jace Hunter now shoots in for a single-leg, Boyer defends it nicely. Another single-leg try, still can't get it. Jace Hunter really wants a takedown, but “The Vampire” refuses to be taken down. Jace Hunter breaks the clinch and lands a nice hook. Boyer fakes with the left and lands a solid uppercut with the right. “The Vampire” tries to move to the inside, but gets hit with a nice leg kick. Jace Hunter looks like he is ready to shoot, but instead settles on a leg kick. He appears to be trying to weaken the legs of “The Vampire” in order to make the takedown easier. Now Boyer lands a solid leg kick. He's giving Hunter a taste of his own medicine. “The Vampire” tries to get on the inside, nice jab by Hunter. Another jab lands for Jace Hunter and if he can continue to use the jab this well he could take control of the standup battle. Final minute of the round. Jace Hunter lands a nice cross and moves to the inside where he follows it up with a nice body shot. “The Vampire” comes back with a solid elbow. Still in the clinch, NICE BODY SHOT BY “THE VAMPIRE!” THAT ONE REALLY HURT HUNTER! Jace Hunter has had the wind completely knocked from him, he is gasping for air. “The Vampire” wastes a lot of time, but finally lands a knee to the body. The final twenty seconds of the round are spent in the clinch with little action from either fighter. Jace Hunter looks completely gassed as he walks to his corner! I don't think he can last much longer. Round 2: “The Vampire” comes out quick and tries to get on the inside, but Jace Hunter is able to keep him at a distance by landing a nice jab. Now Boyer is able to get the clinch and misses with an uppercut. If that one had landed it may have been the end of the fight. “The Vampire” breaks the clinch. Jace Hunter drives “The Vampire” into the cage, AND GETS HIS BACK AGAIN! Just like that “The Vampire” escapes. He needs to break the habit of giving up his back. That is the worst position you can be in in MMA. “The Vampire” tries to get on the inside again, but just like last nice Hunter lands a nice jab. Without missing a beat, “The Vampire” fires back with a body shot that lands nicely. Another clinch, and Boyer looks for a takedown, no, and now Hunter is looking for a takedown. Nothing there and they maintain the clinch. Nice elbow from “The Vampire” and he breaks free at 1:17. Yet another clinch, and “The Vampire” lands a solid body shot from the inside. LOOKS LIKE JACE HUNTER HAS A STANDING NECK CRANK! IT IS IN DEEP, THIS MAY BE THE END OF THIS FIGHT! Hunter holds it for 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, still no tap out. How long can he hold out? Hunter has now had the hold locked in for 30 seconds, he must not have it locked in completely right. Forty seconds now, and “The Vampire” slips out. WOW! Jace Hunter drives Boyer into the corner and once again gets his back. “The Vampire” breaks free quickly. Both guys are completely worn out. “The Vampire” forces a clinch, that neck crank REALLY took a lot out of him. Nice body shot lands for Boyer. Still tied up, as both guys are trying to catch their breath. They break apart and Boyer lands a nice jab followed up by another jab. Doubling up on the jab is the most effective way to throw it. Final minute of the round, both guys are completely gassed. Nice jab lands cleanly for Jace Hunter. “The Vampire” fires a jab, hook, uppercut combo, but none of them land. Hunter looking for a clinch, BUT HE GETS ROCKED WITH A STIFF JAB! CAN “THE VAMPIRE FINISH IT HERE? Boyer follows it up with a nice uppercut, but I don't think he has the energy to finish this. Final 15 seconds, “The Vampire” forces a clinch and lands a solid body shot. Hunter breaks the clinch and LANDS A HUGE JAB OF HIS OWN! NOW “THE VAMPIRE” LOOKS SERIOUSLY HURT! The jab was landed with just two seconds left, so the round ends before Hunter can follow up on it. I will go out on a limb and predict this fight doesn't go the distance. Both guys look finished right now, one good shot could end it for either guy. What a close fight. Round 3: The fighters come out for round three, and Dan “The Vampire” Boyer looks a little fresher than Jace Hunter. Jace Hunter can't even hold his hands up. He is completely worn out. “The Vampire” scores first and lands a nice jab early in the round. Jace Hunter retreats, he is really breathing heavily. “The Vampire” with another jab, it gets partially blocked, but his second one gets through cleanly. Jace Hunter looks hurt, but “The Vampire” seems content to keep his distance and catch his breath. Jace Hunter lands a solid leg kick and then a jab. Now “The Vampire” retreats and is taken down with a single-leg at 1:17. Dan “The Vampire” Boyer has full guard. Jace Hunter is looking to pass the guard, but instead lands a nice series of shots from the top. “The Vampire” comes back with some weaker shots from the bottom that land cleanly. Jace Hunter drives “The Vampire” into the cage. Looks like a key-lock by Hunter, he can't hold on to it as Boyer slips out of it easily. “The Vampire” still has full guard and works his way off the fence at 2:20. Nothing happening at all. “The Vampire” has Hunter locked up and seems to be hoping for a standup. Just like that, Hunter tries another key-lock and Boyer slips out easily again. The ref asks for more action at 3:15, apparently he isn't satisfied with just one half-assed attempt at a key-lock in just under a minute. “The Vampire” lands a couple series of shots from the bottom and a standup is ordered at 3:28. Back to the feet, both guys are completely exhausted. “The Vampire” lands a solid jab, and Jace Hunter forces a clinch. Nice knees from the clinch score for Hunter. “The Vampire” drives Hunter into the fence and both guys appear to be stalling. Nice shot cross lands for Boyer at 4:03.

Both guys take a bit of a break and “The Vampire” lands a hook, body shot combo as the bell rings signaling the end of the fight. Very tough fight to score. I can't even predict a winner, both guys earned it in this one. Decision: The time-limit has expired and this fight must go to the judges.... Judge number one scores the bout 29-28.... Judge two has the fight 30-28.... and judge number three scores the fight 29-28....For your winner by unanimous decision.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DAN “THE VAMPIRE” BOYER!

Breeze Rob 'Java' Nielsen (CoffeeWarlord) =============================================== =============================================== =============================================== "Tim Sylvia vs. Fedor Emelianenko Keys to Victory: Sylvia *Use massive reach advantage to control the fight *Stay on your feet. At 6'8 you punch like a boxer. If you can keep this on your feet you at least have a chance *Look for the KO. The longer this fight goes the more it plays into Fedor's advantage. He is one of the most conditioned heavyweights in the world. Fedor *Don't fight his fight. You have a chance to KO him standing, but also there is a chance he can KO you. Take him to the ground. He has no ground game. *Don't take chances. When you are fighting a guy with the KO power of Sylvia one mistake could be all it takes. *Same old same old. Everyone thinks you are the best heavyweight in the world. This is a chance to make a statement against a top fighter you have never fought before. Prediction: Fedor has it all. KO power, check. Relentless on the ground with precision power shots and deadly submissions, check. World class stamina, check. He has it all. He isn't going to lose this fight, but how it ends depends on if he can get Sylvia off his feet. If Sylvia is off his feet the fight will end quick. If not this one may go the distance. Round 1: And the fight starts. This is definitely the most interesting match-up on the entire card tonight. Before a punch can even be thrown Fedor closes the gap and drives Sylvia up against the fence. Fedor begins to throw body shots from the clinch. This is the strategy he needs to use. If he tries to fight Tim from medium distance this could turn into a blood bath for both guys. At the one minute mark Fedor breaks the clinch and backs off. He looks to his corner for advice. Neither guy is hurt. Tim Sylvia lands an overhand right followed by a left uppercut. Fedor's rock he calls a head absorbs the blows and he isn't hurt. Fedor shoots and tries for a single leg takedown. Sylvia blocks it and Fedor eats a punch. The distance is closed once again and Tim lands solid shots from the inside. Fedor backs off and shoots in again. Again Sylvia blocks the takedown. GIANT OVERHAND RIGHT FROM SYLVIA! Fedor is rocked. HOLY CRAP! Can Sylvia do the unthinkable? Sylvia fires away and Fedor is on the run. Sylvia closes the distance and lands a solid cross. Fedor looks even worse off than before. Sylvia with a combination, but Fedor is throwing with him. He has a rock for a head and heart. Fedor is even getting the better of this scuffle. Sylvia backs off. Fedor shoots in, pick up Sylvia and drops him with a big double leg slam. What a round so far. Tim is going to be in trouble on the ground. Sylvia puts Fedor in his guard, but he is still eating punches from the top. Fedor pushes Sylvia up against the fence. More punches raining down from the top, but he only has 30 seconds to finish this. Fedor with huge punches. Sylvia is all but finished. Can he last another 19 seconds? He isn't defending himself very well. Punches rain down the rest of the round, but the ref doesn't jump into until the buzzer sounds ending the round. Best round of the night by far. Round 2: Fedor rushes out from the start of the round and tries for a head-lock takedown, but Sylvia slips out. Fedor clinches again and tries a duck under takedown. Sylvia escapes again. Fedor obviously doesn't want this fight to stay standing up. Fedor gets the standing clinch again. Sylvia is eating uppercuts. Fedor backs up and rushes in with the double leg at 1:08. He picks Sylvia up again AND DUMPS HIM ON HIS HEAD! Sylvia is hurt from that slam. Sylvia is still able to scramble to guard. Fedor pushes him up against the fence. Fedor passes guard to side mount. This is trouble, Tim is trapped between Fedor on one side and the fence on the other. Fedor throws some punches and jumps for a leg. Sylvia is able to push Fedor off and get to his feet. Now we're back in Sylvia's world. Can Fedor get the giant back on the ground? Fedor fakes a shot and sticks a jab in Sylvia's face. Sylvia comes back with a couple nice jabs of his own. Fedor grabs Sylvia and they tumble back to the ground. Fedor once again has side mount. Sylvia is trying to get up, but Fedor is all over him. Key Lock, gets locked in for a few seconds but Sylvia is able to escape. Fedor pushes Sylvia up against the fence and other than getting rocked in the first round he has done what he has wanted to this fight. The two battle for position as Fedor wants full mount and Sylvia is trying to block it. Fedor passes and gets full mount at 3:20. This is trouble for Sylvia, but he is able to throw Fedor off. Fedor regroups in side mount. Full mount. This has turned into pretty technical ground fight. Again, Sylvia throws him off before he can do any damage. Full mount again and this time it is followed with some elbows that open a gash on Sylvia. More punches. This looks like it could be the end of the fight. Sylvia has to hold on for 45 seconds. More heavy punches and the ref jumps in, calling a TKO at 4:21. Winner: Fedor Emelianenko (1-0)" =============================================== =============================================== =============================================== "Matt Hughes vs. Diego Sanchez Keys to Victory: Hughes *Throw him down, beat him about the head. *Look for the shot early and often, otherwise he will look to take you down *You don't want to be on the bottom, but if you get there don't panic. He will usually make a mistake while on top allowing you a chance to sweep him. Sanchez *Look for the shot. You are outclassed on your feet, and if he gets on top he will KYTFO *Be active on the ground. If you get him down, you don't want to lose your hard earned position *Lady luck. It is going to take heavy doses of luck to beat Matt Hughes. Hope he slips, trips, or just simply finds himself out of position. Prediction: I look for Matt Hughes to dominate this fight. He will win by stoppage in either the first or second rounds. Round 1: Both fighters come out slowly. Diego connects first, landing a solid jab to the body. Nice straight cross from Hughes. Hughes forces a clinch and lands side nice short shots to the body. Big elbow from Hughes, on the money. Hughes bulls Sanchez into the cage. Diego slips free, but eats a straight cross. They trade low kicks at 2:34. Nice jab from Hughes sets up a single-leg takedown. Nice sprawl by Diego, Hughes is on all fours momentarily but climbs back up to his feet. NICE QUICK JAB BY DIEGO STUNS MATT HUGHES! WHERE DID THAT POWER COME FROM? Diego follows up with a nice hook upstairs. Another clinch and Diego is now landing knees to the body. Diego goes for a double-leg, but Matt Hughes is able to escape. Clinch, Hughes with some nice body shots from the inside. Hughes goes for a single-leg, but it is blocked and Diego pushes Hughes against the cage. Matt Hughes is scoring nicely from the inside with knees. HUGHES GOES UNDER AND HE HAS DIEGO'S BACK, but just three seconds left in the round. The buzzer sounds before Hughes is able to do anything of note. You have to figure at some point in the second round one of them is going to be able to get a takedown. Round 2: They come out slowly, neither guy looks too hurt. BIG OVERHAND RIGHT BY DIEGO! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! Matt Hughes is hurt again. Hughes is retreating. Diego catches him and lands a solid combination. Diego looks for a takedown, but shoots right into a gut shot that lands with a thud. That absolutely had to hurt. Diego looks like he is about to get sick as Matt Hughes LANDS A BIG LEFT-RIGHT COMBINATION! DIEGO DROPS TO HIS KNEES AND THEN TUMBLES HEAD FIRST BACKWARDS! HE IS OUT COLD! What a great standing KO. It was all set up by that HUGE body shot. The official ruling is a KO at 1:36 of round 2. Winner: Matt Hughes (1-0)" Thanks for taking the time to read this.

BUMP: If they rules look too confusing but you have some interest in joining this feel free to send me a PM either here, on our league board, or on FOFC. The name is the same at all places. We are still in the process of debating "training" regulations. They should be up by the time we start.
