Dean Sutherland goes on 4 fight skid, attempts to rejoin Convicted Inc, denied.
 

The Channel 4 News Team is on top of the action!

Former Convicted Inc Manager, Dean Sutherland, is on a 4 fight skid since creating Qlimax.

Brian Fantana

For the good folk sitting at home, totally unaware of what kind of Qlimax we're talking about, it's an alliance for noobs and skirt-wearing lady boys that like to attend raves and listen to techno.

Brick Tamland

Brian, that sounds super gay hehehe.

Brian Fantana

We know Brick, you don't have to say that, we're on the air.  

Ron Burgundy

Dinooo made the announcement that he was leaving Convicted to create Qlimax on January 4th, Convicted Inc founder Chris Karter's birthday, which stirred some controversy.  There were rumors that he was kicked in the skirt on the way out. Even hit with a chair.

Brian Fantana

From the outside looking in, it appears that kick to the skirt has really hampered his ability to properly gameplan and manage his roster.  

Champ Kind

Wammy!

Ron Burgundy
It has the MMA community questioning his ability and competence as a manager, but as of right now, according to our sources within the Qlimax organization, they are saying he looks like a lost stray that couldn't coach his way out of a dumpster.  That seems pretty accurate.  Has any of Dean's fighters won a fight since he left Convicted?

Brian Fantana
No, in fact He lost to Shortfuse again.

Brick Tamland
I like Shortbus! hehe

Ron Burgundy
We're gonna send it down to Wes Mantooth, who's on top of the action with the latest news.

Wes Mantooth
Thanks for joining us down here.  I was talking to some reliable sources and we've gotten quite a bit of detail.  As if it weren't obvious enough to the people paying attention, Dean is really struggling without the guidance of his mentor, Lance Templeton.  Dean describes LT as his sensei, his master, his lord and savior, and without Lance holding his hand and setting his sliders, he's just another little boy lost in the big city.

Ron Burgundy
Can you tell us anything about Dinooo attempting to rejoin Convicted Inc?

Wes Mantooth
He sent his application this evening, and the Convicted Inc panel sat down and deliberated the matter, after 10 seconds of careful consideration, a unanimous verdict of NO was reached.

Ron Burgundy
Do you think Dinooo's recent lack of success will impact Qlimax's recruiting drive?

Wes Mantooth
Absolutely, it already has.  Dean's failure as a manager has the noob community buzzing.  LOD is leading the polls by a wide margin.

Ron Burgundy
Great work Wes.  We're going to turn it over to the beautiful Veronica Corningstone to discuss an investigation she's been conducting for several minutes.

Veronica Corningstone
Thank you Ron.  During a broadcast of TWW news, Dinooo was accused of cherry picking, hype farming, and favoritism for his involvement in Colin Croft's matchmaking process at EVO, when he ducked JLP and #1 contender Mark Riccuito.  It appears that the dastardly devil is at it again.  Dean and GBK's close and personal relationship is well-documented, stinting back to a brokeback raver moment during a music festival in Scotland.  During my investigation I was directed to Shinyo Jintao, a fighter that was unwillingly forced into signing with Dean during FA and signed a contract with the GBK-run enterprise, Troid.  His first opponent was a huge challenge, a 150 cm giant sporting a spotless 17-14 record.  

He would go on to enter ITFL and finish with a respectable 5-2 record.  After taking a month off to recover from injuries sustained while... training... he returned to the cage to fight Gustav Ragnarson, a really popular fighter sporting a 2-4 record in his last 6 outings.  Gustav showed off his world class boxing and muay thai skills in their bout, but couldn't make it to the final bell.

This victory over a legend like Gustav earned him a well deserved title shot vs the org's champion, Carlos Centurion (64 P4P), and nobody batted an eye.  A victory over a fighter that was 2-4 in his last 6 outings earned him a title shot before Helix Cabrera (45 P4P), Pernell Whitaker Jr (180 P4P), and Jay Gatsby (200 P4P). All who have longer winning streaks, are higher ranked, and arguably have better managers.

EVO and Troid have been described as "brother-sister" orgs that work together.  One can only wonder if Dinooo has as much control of his matchmaking at Troid as he does in EVO?  Troid owner GBK is a member of Qlimax, and this move is surely shady publicity for any fighter looking to join this organization.

We urge new fighters to be wary of signing with Troid, watch out for hype farming, hype feeding, and biased match making.
