Interpromotional matches and title unifications

[fusionfreak]

I guess I would like to see the ability to have interpromotional matches and possibly title unification matches. If I was the owner of UFC and wanted a unification match with my champion and the champion from Pride, I could negotiate a deal with the Pride owner. Can MMA fighters work in 2 different promotions at once? Could Chuck Liddel fight in UFC and Pride at the same time? If yes then I guess I would like to see that reflected in the game. If so then.....What if you had Chuck Liddel working in the promotion you own and he works for a competitors promotion, he is the champ in your's then he earns a title shot in the other promotion, if he won the title in the other promotion would it be an official title unification or not? How does a unified title become ununified in real life MMA? I would like to be able to have a TV show, sell PPV's and produce DVDs. I would like to have different types of tv shows like one that has new or live matches, one that has classic matches and one that is a reality driven show like ultimate fighter. I always wanted the ability to do different show types in TEW like a show that is like Tuff enough or a highlight show that would last 30 minutes or an hour. Anyway, WOW, congratulations Adam. I'm sure the game will be a 9.5 atleast. All of the other games were atleast 9.5 or better. I would love to be part of the team and help anyway I can. Thanks Adam.

I have not heard of one MMA fighter fighting for 2 different promotions, at the same time.

To use TEW terms, up until you get to the TOP fighters for EXC/PRIDE/UFC, most fighters work on a per-fight contract basis (IE, you hire them to fight on one card) Even the top fighters have some options, for example, Fedor Emelianenko, one of the top fighters in the world in the Heavyweight weight class (probably the best, but let's not get into that right now), who fights exclusively for PRIDE Fighting Championships in Japan, has signed a deal to fight Matt Lindland (another good HW fighter), in St Petersburg Russia, for the BODOGFIGHT promotion. There's plenty of examples.

Good point, I forgot to mention that he's really a good MW/LHW who's moving up to HW to take on Fedor :)

<-----used to work at a casino that booked mma In regards to exclusive deals, usually as long as a company is not a direct competitor. A MMA organization will allow its fighters to work your shows for a price. I.E. You pay the company to negotiate with the fighter.
