Not sure what year I am in, but "The Fury" is 9-0 right now with 9 KO's just got an email from Dana White saying that i have tied the record for longest winning streak @9, the next win would be the record breaker... & here is where it starts sucking, I am fighting Thiago Silva next and I have tried this fight 4 times now, the game keeps freezing on me!!! ahhhhh, sucks, I blew an air can in my ps3 this morning, and tried to play but had to leave before work, i was dominating Silva, so i will try again tonight... Light Heavyweight that is Wrestling & Kick Boxing, no camp invites yet, im ranked 8th in the rankings, knocked out Liddell, Tito & Herring on the way up...

Totally different fight the 3rd time, knocked his *** out in the 2nd. I was so excited that I flipped off my TV when the dude went down.... That's when I knew it was time for bed

Hahahaha

I can't believe how excited I get when I KO someone. I actually feel like I've accomplished something and I get all pumped.

Tito Ortiz is perfectly made for destroying my guy. I hate it.

I started off 6-0 and then got caught with a rear naked choke by Even Tanner. Won another fight (Lebel I think) and then got submitted by rear naked choke by Jason MacDonald. It was going that way (win one, lose one) until I got a lucky rash of matches against Chris Leben. I ended up fighting him 3 times in a row (twice due to Dana's e-mail about an injury sub), all first round KO's (making it 4 first round KOs on Leben overall ha), and he single-handedly turned my career around. After those fights, I avenged my defeat against Tanner to get into the Top 10 in the rankings. I've gotten "revenge" on Tanner, Nate Marquardt, and Jason MacDonald... that feels great.

I worked my way up with a win over Thiago Alves and then another one over Rich Franklin (who was ranked #3 at the time, I was #4). After that fight, I was ranked #2 in the world -- I gave a "top contender" shot to Okami but ended up fighting Demien Maia due to an injury. I pounded Maia into a pulp in the 1st round and then took on Anderson Silva in the next fight for the Middle weight title. At that point I was 20-6 -- I was able to pound him out from mount about halfway through the 2nd for KO of the Night honors and the MW title.

I've defended my title against Rich Franklin once (easy 1st round KO from the ground) and have a fight scheduled against Okami now, who is the 4th ranked guy... I missed my chance to fight him earlier, so I thought I'd give him a chance. We'll see how that goes when I get home -- I'm also on the 9 fight win streak, so I can break the record with that win.

FYI, my guy is a kickboxer/Judoka and he's brutal. I have him up at 84 strength and mid 70's for cardio/speed -- his main skills are kick offense, ground striking, and takedowns. The kickboxing/Judo combo makes for a very versatile fighter -- you can take people down from nearly every position, have great transitions to get yourself out of trouble, and with kickboxing you have the most varied selection of powerful strikes/kicks... hard to stop. I'm also maxed out in Judo and 10 camp points away from maxing out kickboxing... so yeah, the 80+ striking will be valuable for my title defenses.

I made a MW Thai Box/Judo master and managed to handily win my first 6 fights (with 1 KO of the night) 5 in the first round. I was all ready to face Jason MacDonald with a nice long layoff when Dana pestered me into fighting Lietes (#10 and my stats still horrible). His defense at getting out of the clinch nullified my 'grab the dude and knee him until he dies strategy' that had been successful in my previous 6 fights. I was also deathly afraid of going to the ground with him because my ground game is weaksauce.

So the first round consisted of me jabbing and attempting to grab him to give him the Knees of Death and taking a pretty handy beating for my troubles. Round two he wasted no time taking me down and had me tapping like a little B****

My bounceback fight was against Jason MacDonald who seemed to want to play into my hands and normal KO service was resumed.

I'm 7-1, Level 2 Thai Boxing and I have a date with the Late Evan Tanner next.

That's exactly how my title defenses went. I love fighting Franklin. Okami was a surprisingly easy fight. He didn't want to be on the ground at all for some reason, so when we would stand up I would just stick and move. It ended fast.

The third defense brought on Dan Henderson, a guy I had already beaten relatively easily with a 2nd round KO.

Things are going fine, I'm controlling the fight for the most part. It looks like I'm on track for another 2nd round KO. And then...BOOM.

Flash KO.

Henderson steps in with a hook and that's it. Kinda pissed me off, because I had pretty much controlled the entire fight. Then, with roughly 30 seconds left in the 1st round, he lands one big punch and that's it.

Bye bye title. Dan Henderson is your new Middleweight Champ and I'm now 19-4.

Also, anyone think that sparring is tougher than actual fights? My sparring partner is a level 5 and he gives me more trouble than any of my actual fights do, lol. Making it tough to bump up my skills.

[Inhocmark]

The partners can be a pain in the butt. My partner during one of my Camp exercises took me to the ground and proceeded not to let me up for 5 minutes. My horrible ground defense didn't help, but he's supposed to be there to help me.

I almost woke up my wife and 3 yr old. I literally was giving the finger to my digital fallen opponent! I never thought we'd get over that hump.
