The Super Awesome Fighter Tribute Career Challenge

The Super Awesome Fighter Tribute Career Challenge - 03/13/17 10:06 AM

This event is rather simple, all you need to do is make a tribute of an MMA fighter of your choosing and fight him until he retires. They can be from the UFC or from any other org. The most successful tribute will be crowned as the winner, and by that I mean that the fighter with the most amount of EFC titles will be the victor. If nobody manages to win titles/they end up with the same amount, we'll probably do some legend fights.

Here's the catch though, you can only use styles that resemble what that fighter does irl. So, for example, let's say that you decide to make a Demian Maia tribute, you will only be allowed to use styles like PG and TgT, nothing else. That way we will have a bit more of realism and difficulty.

Also, there will be no duplicates, so if someone picks Conor McGregor before you're able to, you'll have to go with another fighter. This is so that there isn't suddenly an influx of Anderson Silva's, Michael Bisping's or Chris Avila's.

I call dibs on Ngannou Arlovski btw.

Start date is Jan 2552
Fighters must be recruited from the Sep 2550 reset and onwards.

Ampman
ATT: Anderson Silva

I was thinking of doing it like that, but thought that it might fuck with guys who don't have specific weight recruiting like me, so I scrapped that idea.

So yeah, only thing that matters are styles. And customization.

I'm in, Yoel Romero is gonna be my tribute, so I'm thinking maybe gnp/sftf/aa might be in play. Any thoughts on styles that fit outside the sftf/ gnp obvious ones?

RK could be another one, he's shown good footwork and kicks before, so I think it would fit.

I'll get in with this guy as Alexander Gustafsson because he's a LHW, and I can do a Boxing/BJJ build now thanks to Nate Diaz.. also.. He kinda already looks a lot like him.

Alexander Gustafsson

No, he rarely finishes fights, and his submission game has never been his strong point.

Kinda iffy with PtP, but pretty much yeah. I would probably change that one for LnP.

Other opinions regarding what styles fighters should be allowed to use are appreciated.

Re: The Super Awesome Fighter Tribute Career Challenge - 03/15/17 06:16 AM

I'll use Anderson Silva since I got this guy with good MT

http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_stats.php?id=1386180


Anderson Silva can be 8pts, CS, PG, or PyP? Sound about right?

Can we do one per camp or is it just one per coach? In case we can do more.

Re: The Super Awesome Fighter Tribute Career Challenge - 03/16/17 08:01 AM

Here is my main fighter -
Lando Groovy Vannata - FF, Wohf, not sure if others.
http://mmarmy.com/fighter_stats.php?id=1386574



If we're allowed to enter a second guy I would use this one, going to fight him either way -

Khabib Nurmagomedov - PL
http://mmarmy.com/fighter_stats.php?id=1386452


True to form I should probably only fight Khabib every year or so.

With the name, gotta go Kyoshi Horiguchi. Will customize him (I did but it didn't save smirk ) As far as styles, karate for sure but seems like he has a little gnp going too. Any verdict on that from folks more knowledgable?

Re: The Super Awesome Fighter Tribute Career Challenge - 03/20/17 02:57 PM

I suck at reading rules. I need to change my fighter to a leglocker.

Can I change to Ken Shamrock? Chris Lytle doesn't really fit the Ankle Breaker moniker.

Re: The Super Awesome Fighter Tribute Career Challenge - 04/01/17 08:05 PM

Who's hot?

We caught up with the most successful competitor at the moment, Anthony Pettis (8-0). The French Latino had some pretty interesting words for us:

So, Anthony, for anyone that might not know you; who are you?

Je suis omelette du fromage

Hmm... You have been very successful ever since starting your career, showing great composure, promise and the ability to go 5 rounds if needed. Tell me, what's the secret to your success?

Je ne me baigne pas pendant de longues periodes, masquant mes odeurs de parfum jusqu'a ce qu'il soit temps de se battre. Je lance aussi tres fort

Could you please speak American? This is going nowhere.

Negativo

Well, fuck me. That's the interview. I wish you the best of luck, and hopefully you won't go in a huge losing streak in the near future.

Who's not?

We also managed to caught up with one of the least successful competitors so far, granted he has only had one fight. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Ryan Bader (0-1)!

You got the wrong man, dude.

What do you mean? It says in the OP that you're supposed to be Bader, you look like him, and you even have the same nickname!

Nah, nah, I'm not him. You see, Ryan is supposed to be this grinding wrestler who, on the feet, is a bit wild or unpolished on the feet, but I'm none of those things; I'm just a boxer who likes to wait for his opponent to make mistakes, and exploit them.

So... You mean that I have to DQ you because you failed to follow the rule of using styles that resemble the real life fighter?

Now, I wouldn't go that far. You se-

No, too late! You're off! Disqualified! You have disgraced the name of the sacred SAFTC Challenge for disregarding the rules, and that is unforgivable. Away with you!
