UFC Undisputed 2009 Dynasty
This will be my attempt to start a career and keep tabs on the goings on of the UFC. I believe the game allows about 7 years of a career so we'll run it until it ends.
My fighter will be a template, Dave (Muay Thai/BJJ) in the Light Heavyweight division: Welcoming me to the TUF finale I have one fight before running down the champs and rankings from the divisions... A quick outing has me wrap up the Muay Thai clinch, bury some knees and than finish with some brutal stand over you ground and pound to a TKO finish. Winner Rd 1 (2:08) over Sato Matsui |

Round 1 found us trading blows but I was dominant. However exhausted I was by the end of it. Karl had a nasty gash open on his left cheek and I was a bit nervous going into round two that my lack of stamina would lead to a fluke KO. However coming out I wrapped the patented clinch on and gave him some shots to the ribs, but the couple to head led to a KO:
winner by KO - rd 2 (:25) a few days later and Silva shoots me an email inviting us to Fight at UFN 28, on the main card, in 7 weeks against: #16 Kevin Harris (425 cred) Maui, HI 31yo 6' 205# (5-1) Kickboxing, BJJ -An email from Wondermart to sponsor us comes in which reminds me and the guys that we forgot to add the last sponsor's crap to our shorts so we need to go do both...now. -We have enough dough to add some equipment to the gym, so we get some sweet new age treadmills to enhance our cardio workouts. -Metabolic Adaptation saw that we didnt have their logo on our shorts so they've asked that not only do we get that remedied but that we also participate in a photoshoot, on Feb 15 |
Team Militant was a huge success for my BJJ skills rating my # to 60/150...
very successful camp, so much so that Wes informs me that he has worked it out for Team Takedown to come to our gym and have Muay Thai fighter Dennis Hernandez work with me. |

I have no idea what he's going to come at me with, but Plan A is to be ready for it." Q - In these hard economic times, do you have any financial advice for the fans? KH - "Yeah, dont bet on Barrera." What an asshole. I cant wait to fight him. |

Rd 1 saw me get opened up under my Left eye and it was nasty and bleeding all over the place. We struck back and forth and at one point he tried to get a leg lock on me and I was able to escape it. He was very good at defending my knees from within the clinch.
Rd 2 saw more trading blows but Kevin started to take it to the ground and at one point tried to get me in a triangle choke but I escaped. We continued the back and forth, however in one major exchange he landed a left elbow and I went down like a bag of bricks. I didnt see what hit me. Loser by KO (Rd 2 - 4:37) ------------------------------------------- Disappointing. Silva sends us an email asking us to participate in UFN 31, in 11 weeks, against: #17 Karl Thomas (400cred) St. Louis, MO 6' 205# (5-2) Boxing, Wrestling ....in a rematch of our fight in UFN 26 which I won.

April 23rd I got to the camp but Im risking not being 100% by the fight {yikes}
So I end up sparring the Team Takedown member and the asshole wouldnt allow me to keep him in the Muay Thai Clinch long enough to meet a bunch of the tasks set out for me. The camp, while not being a total failure, wasn't the better choice now that I may not be 100% before the fight coming up.

Steve Mazzagatti got a front row seat to a Muay Thai clinic...
I gave some leg kicks BUT the game was to lock him up and whip knee to death....which I was able to do but only after finding myself on my back where Oro fell into a triangle attempt that I couldnt cinch in....however it allowed me to get to my feet where I eventually knocked him out with a whip knee to the nose. Winner by KO - (Rd. 1 4:06) -------------------------------------- The emails are expected now from Silva and this one comes in regarding UFN 32, in 10 weeks, where Ill go up against someone he'll name later....he wants to confirm that Ill be ready to go though. FYT wants to sponsor me so Ill add another logo to my shorts. Im also going to be traveling to another camp, this time to Team Sityodtong to work with Kenny Florian on some BJJ skills. Metabolic also wants me to do another photoshoot so it's going to be some busy times between now and fight night so Ill have to rest up. |

He had leg kicks which I dont and rocked me in round 1 with one. I was able to shake off the cobwebs but he had too many weapons. Finally near the end of round 1 he was able to knock my block off with a head leg kick and it was over. loser by KO - Rd. 1 (4:35) |
A few days later Silva sends us the fight email for UFN 34, in 7 weeks, again not knowing who Ill fight but wanting to confirm my availability....Im available and smarting from my most recent loss. I need to learn how to kick someone in the head.
I also get a crappy email from Dana: "This is a wake up call, Dave. Take that last fight, that mess of a last fight, and use it as an example of everything not to do. You got beaten, and you didnt have to get beaten. Go back to the gym and fill in the gaps in your game. But more importantly, figure out how you're going to get back that intensity we saw in you. When we brought you into the UFC, you were a warrior. I need that warrior back. -Dana White UFC President" |
A mediocre camp at Sitdyotong finds my BJJ skills at 90/150...
Just having a rough go of things right now but hopefully we and the guys can snap out of it. |

Back and forth but the Muay Thai clinch was on point in this one against Boetsch. 4 head wraps and in each one I was able to land 4+ knees to the face and finally near the end of round one Boetsch went to sleep off of one. Boetsch landed some heavy kicks to the head but in the end I was able to eek out the win.
Winner by KO - Rd. 1 (4:28) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Silva's email for the UFN 38 card in 8 weeks sees me in a rematch against the Barbarian Boetsch....

Later on as the round wound down we got into a strike fest and I finally rocked him before climbing on top to try to end it with some standing GnP but he recovered to scramble to his feet. However a quick step to the left and a Left hook sent his mouth piece flying and the win into my column. Winner by Knockout - Rd 1 (4:38) |
After the Fight Silva lets me know that my next fight will be almost 3 months from now against:
#21 Karl Thomas (300 cred) St. Louis, Mo 30yo 6' 205# (5-6) Boxing, wrestling Silva apparently wants to bring me back....slllloooowwwwly but Im hoping for Dana White call up before then. -a new sponsor in XXXY but we'll see if I take the time to put them on my shorts since their value is no more than the ones I already have. Im an elitist, eh? -some new money has us updating the speed bags at the gym to Lev.2 |

I love snippets like that. I had one in my HW career that was my recent opponent complaining that the ref had called for a stoppage (due to me reworking his face with 8 straight shots) too early.
We rematched, he didn't complain about that stoppage. |
