My Match

1st round - Griffin starts out slow as I land a couple body kicks and an overhand right, I tried to shoot to take him down but no luck (I need to stop wasting those attempts when there is no chance yet). After that he comes out throwing, he lands a left but I duck a right and take him down. I transiction to half guard and land a couple shots to the ribs but he escapes. He comes out determined with a body kick of his own and two solid punches but I duck the third connect with a right of my own. Then two kicks backs him off a bit. I duck a right and take him down and quickly transiction to half guard and then land a shot squarely and open him up. He tries a kimura that I block and then I land three more hard shots from on top. I try to transition to side control and he escapes. A wild eschange, that I got the wort of, leads to me ducking under and taking him down and getting one more shot from on top before the round ends. Close round but I think I controlled it.

2nd round - Earlythe round starts out with him landing a couple shots before I can take him down but I am unable to take advantage of that. I try to shoot after a few more body kicks but he sprawls and blocks. I tie him up and get him against the cage where I land a couple knees but he reverses and puts me against the cage. As he goes to throw a right I get under it and am able to take him down where I get my hands free and land 3 very good blows to the head. He is able to get his legs out and push me back as he escapes and we are back to our feet with a minute left in the round. I get caught with a kick and then a right that knocks me off balance but I recover and end the round in the clinch landing body blows. Close round to call.

3rd round - The action starts with me landing a few body kicks. He strikes back with a right but I duck and take him down. I transition to half guard and try a kimura but he breaks it though I still have top position. He tries a kimura and I break that and he is left wide open. I fire off 4 hard shots to the head and he tries to escape but I block and get three more hard shots in. Somehow he manages to escape and we get back to our feet. We exchange a few shots, and check a few an then with about 2 minutes left in the round I get hit with a head kick and it opens me up. He tries another and I duck it and take him down. I get him mounted and get a few shots in. Then he gets me to half guard and tries a kimura but I escape and get to side control. I land a few more shots and try an arm triangle but he escapes. Before he can get a shot in I take him back down and the fight ends with me in side control.


The winner, by unanimous decision....

Awesome job man, sounds like a good fight. In my career I created a striker and have played way too much. I started at 170 but moved to 185. This years game is just a blast. I think I am gonna' create a wrestler next though using your guy as a template.

The toughest thing for me so far has been to get used to the fact that standing in front of someone and fighting toe to toe will not lead to a win as every fighter I have tried has been just that, a pounder.

My Match

1st round - I start out with a couple kicks to the body and back to the legs. I try a half hearted attemt at a takedown but it doesn't work. Then as he closes I start with a kick but close in and rock him with an overhand right that knocks him down. I jump into guard and manage to get into half guard before landing a couple of shots to the head. I try to get mount but he escapes and we are back to our feet. I land more kicks and a few punches but he catches me with a left that opens me up. I try a takedown but am not successful, I just wanted to get my face out of target range for a couple seconds to see how badly I am cut. I then go back to the body and legs with my kicks. I go to the clinch and push him up against the cage and land knees inside. He escapes from the cage but I pull him to guard to end the round. I feel that I won that round.

2nd round - I exchange kicks with him but land a few extra to both the legs and body. I wait for an opening and take him down. I work my way to half guard where I see an opening and fire a few clean shots to the head, one opens up a cut over his right eye. I then get greedy and try to submit him but he escapes and we are back to our feet. I return to firing off body kicks and get a little careless as he nails me with a combo. I return to being a little more careful and finish out the round with a couple kicks and a few rights thrown in. I think that one goes to me.

3rd round - I come otu firing andmanage to drain the wind frmo his lungs with kicks. I take him down several times but am unable to submit. Then as the round neared the end I rock him back with a forward kick, as he drops to the ground I enter a dominating position over him and pound away and the ref stops the fight.

I am now 14-4 after the TKO victory.

We earn Fight of the Night honors!!!

Almeida earned Submission of the Night.
Escudero earned Knockout of the Night.

My Match

1st round - I start out with a coupe overhand rights and a left then return to a few leg kicks and a body kick. I am able to avoid any of his punches and kicks and then I shoot for the takedown afer he missed a kick. I get him into half guard and open him with a punch. He attempts a kimura and I block it an try to improve my position. As I do he grabs my arm again and cranks it back into a kimura, I try but can;t get free. It feels like my shoulder is about to pop and I tap. I can't believe it, Igave im one small opening an he jumped on it.

I fall to 14-5 to what was awarded the Submission of the Night.

The fight of he Night went to Uno's victory over Miller.
Belcher was awarded the Knockout of the Night.

My trainer is quite confident in my chances against Guida and thinks I should stay with my strengths and I will win.

Week 1: Moderate strength training

Main Event
Marcus Davis (22-10) vs. Mike Swick (18-11)


My Match

1st round - A rough round for me as he kept coming after me but I did open him up with some rights and an elbow, I tried to keep him in the clinch for a while and wear him down with knees inside. He knocked me down a couple times with strikes which makes me unsure of teh scoring of that one and I am not confident that I won that round.

2nd round - I work the body with kicks and then work on taking the strength out of his legs. Most of the round is on our feet but I get one takedown but am unable to improve position past half guard. I feel that round was easily mine.

3rd round - I control the round withmy kicks and take him down three times but am unable to submit him. I should have won the figh with winnng rounds two and three with one a tossup.

Ouch, thought I had the victory but it ends as a draw. I am now 14-5-1. I guess that happens when it gets left in the hands of the judges.

Almeida earned submission of the night

My Match

1st round - Early in the round I knocked him down with a right but he recovered and he had me agains the cage in the clinch and was able to take me down but I escaped. I was able to land a few nice shots in but eventualy we ended in the clinch and he got me against the cage again and then threw me down (I need to learn to defend that better). I tried to escape and he briefly had my back but I was able to escape. Close round but I would have lost it because of those takedowns (in my opinion).

2nd round - I start the round out being able to strike cleanly, both with kicks and punches. He ties me up and eventually pulls guard after I land some knees inside. I open him up with a little ground and pound but he eventually escapes. I completely wear him down with kicks to the body and legs, he is hobbling. I shoot for the takedown when he misses a wild kick attempt. I transition to half guard and try a kimura, I just start to crank it and the round ends.

3rd round - I am able to take him down a coule times and at one point get to side control and pound his side with knees. He gets away I am unable to get him back down bt I punish him with kicks. His side is red and swollen as are his legs. The round ends and it goes tothe scorecards.

The winner by unanimous decision...

Kenny "The Kid" Davis!!!!

I improve to 15-5-1.

Bonnar with the Submission of the Night

My Match

1st round - I can tell he is waiting for me to shoot so I start by firing punches. As he adjusts to that I start to chop himk down with leg and body kiks totake the wind out from his lungs and the strength from his legs. I leave myself open and he connects which cuts me but I quickly recover and drill him with with a right and open him up. I follow it by an elbow and another right. He is staggered. I load up with another right and he stumbles down. I get in a dominant position and start pounding his head and the ref pulls me off for a TKO!!!!

My Match

1st round - We both came out throwing and landed several kicks and punches. I take him down but can't get past half guard and at one point he hs be against the cage in a clinch but I am able to escape. The round ends with us trading punches. Too close to call.

2nd round - I come out with a few kicks and then tie him up and start landing knees inside. I lose focus for a second and he takes me down. I can't believe how this guy just keeps coming. I hit him with a couple of hard shots but he keeps moving forward. Then I leave an opening when I throw a right and he rocks me with a left. Before I can cover up he comes back over the top with a powerful right to my jaw and I don't remember much after that. I lose a knockout and fall to 16-6-1. My PPV debut was anything but memorable.


There is a new light heavyweight champion as Ortiz knocks out Silv in the 3rd round after Silva tried a flying knee and Ortiz sidestepped it and fired a brutal left into Silva's temple to turn his lights out.

There is a new heavyweight champion as Nogueira knocks out Kongo in the 2nd round after bloodying him up badly.

Game Related Comment (and a little extra)

I am hoping that the change in his style was game related due to the last matchup. I was able to back him off and create room a little easier in the first matchup with him.

On another note, I think this was one hell of a card for an event.

I get a chance at UFC162 as an undercard against Joe Stevenson (39-14). I had a choice to be a main event at UFN 70 against Tyson Griffin but I wanted to be on a PPV again.

Near the end of th round he takes me down and as I try to escape he gets me in a knee bar and I have to tap as it feels like my knee is about to pop.

I have not put on a good show on these two PPV chances that I got. Hopefully I wll be able to get anotheshot to prove myself. I drop to 16-7-1.

1st round - On our feet for most of the round and he cuts me with a hard right but I wear him down in teh clinch against the cage and with body shots. I want them to pay dividends later in the fight. Round was too close for me to call.

2nd round - I work the body more ad then get him against the cage and land knees. Unfortunately I get too predictable and he grabs my leg and takes me down. AQs I try to escape he grabs my leg and puts a heel lock on me whioch I cannot escape and I am forced to tap.

I have to do a better job defending these things. I am quite upset about dropping yet another fight and am now 16-8-1.

These submissions are getting tougher to escape from the higher up the ladder I go. Fighting the low rated fighters I barely had to try to get out of them.

[EagleFan]

Next Fight

I will fight in an undercard on UFN 74 and will face Dennis Siver (15-9). I need to leave no dount in this match.

Good to see that there are negatives to a losing streak, hate that I had to find out though.

[DeToxRox]

God I hate Clay Guida. You seem to fall into the same traps as me when I play. Get too carried away with a certain aspect of your game and ride it till you die.

Main Event
Gabriel Gonzaga (19-13) vs. Justin McCully (21-11)


My Match

1st round - I start out with kicks to the body again and then a left to the head followed by a right to the body. I kick out his legs a few times and then when he comes in to strike I nail him with a right that knocks him down. I spend the last three minutes of the round controlling him on the groun. I open him up with ground and pound and wear him down. The round ends with me trying an arm triangle but no luck that time. I win that round easily.

2nd round - I punish him with shots to the head and take him down when he tries to throw a punch. Ground and pound opens up the ct again and has his eye swollen badly. I try a kimura but he somehow escapes and gets to his feet. I hit him with a solid body kick and he crumbles a bit in pain and then follow it up with a strong left and he drops. He is out. Iwanted a submission but got a knockout. I'll take it.

I improve to 17-8-1 with the KO.

McCully earned submission of the night
Kang earned KO of teh night as he and Belcher were in the fight of the night

Hopefuly this is something that they will address with future releases bt I would like to see new talent enter the ranks as you progress. That doesn't seem to be the case.

Upgrade

I hire a new strength trainer. I am fully upgraded for training and sparring.

Nice win.

I am using a wrestler now. Just in the WFA but so far I have two sub wins but only my Kimura seems to work. Is there something I am missing or is it just luck?

UFN 76

My Match

Kurt "Batman" Pellegrino (18-11) vs. Kenny "The Kid" Davis (17-8-1)


1st round - I try to catch him off guard by starting out throwing punches. It works as I catch him with a right and open him up. I follow ith shots to the body and kicks to the legs. I am starting to chop him down as we clinch and I land a few knees inside. I shoot and take him down near the end of the round and get him mouned to land a few more shots as th round ends. My round, no doubt.

2nd round - I punish him all round. His ribs are red and swollen and he is starting to feel those leg kicks, plus he is broken open around his eyes. I get him down near the end of the round and try a kimura but somehow he has the strength to escape. He can't avoid being mounted and pounded until the bell sounds to end the round. Freaking tap already, unless you don't want to be able to remember the worst beating that you will ever take!

3rd round - I go for the knockout as I start to fire away with shots and then back to kicks to take his legs out from under him. The fool will not go down. I trap him agains the cage and fire knees inside but can't get him down against the cage. I let him back to the middle and he tags me with a right that cuts me. Then he goes for a kick but I drop and take him down and go for a knee bar and sink it in. He finally taps.

With the submission I improve to 18-8-1.

Thanks. Was going to work him for a submission on that one and wanted to loosen him up with a couple solid punches and I guess they were solid enough.

Seems to be just luck of the draw for the base submissions.

UFN 78

My Match

Nate Diaz (17-13) vs. Kenny "The Kid" Davis (18-8-1)


1st round - I start out a little shaky and get caught with a couple hard shots. I recover and take him down when he goes for another right and am able to ground and pound to open him up but then a I try to transition he puts me in a kimura and I am able to escape. I land a few more and he throws another kimura on me and I cannot escape, it is sunk in deep and I have to tap or lose the arm.

I drop to 18-9-1 and probably lost a shot at a PPV now.

UFN 80

My Fight

Hermes Franca (21-14) vs. Kenny "The Kid" Davis (18-9-1)


1st round - I start out with a vicious right and a left elbow that opens him up. A few body and leg kicks and I have him trying to throw and then back up as he doesn't seem to way to stand in front of me. I keep working the body and the legs to keep him winded and unable to move. A few more rights and elbows keep him hurting. Late in the round I shoot for the takedown and bring him down, I transition and he tries to escape and I throw an ankle lock on him and sink it in. He taps with just second left in the round.

I improve to 19-9-1.

I will be back on a PPV as an undercard. I will get a rematch with Joe Stevenson (41-15). I can't make the same mistake this time. I will not accept any more media events before the fight (other than the one I am committed to already).

I try a kimura but he escapes and reverses but I escape and get back to my feet as he has used up his energy. Once I get close enough I land a left elbow and then line up an overhand right that lands clean on the temple and he drops and is out.

After playing two careers, it is much, much easier to play a striker than a grappler. The flash KO can come at anytime, while it's a lot of work to really excel in the ground.

Yes that is the main complain in the official forum and at OS forums, flash KO's are too frequent while winning by submission vs the CPU is extremely hard. I guess it will end fixed in a patch.

When you guys spar as a wrestler what is the best way to maximize your point totals?

I can definitely see that. Especially when watching fights. I only watch fights between guys that should be most likely pounders or there wouldn't be any submissions for the CPU guys either. Even though I see there tends to be style differences where some go to the ground more than others they still usually end in a flash KO from what I have seen.
