A Letter to the Noobs!

Editorial by

 Dear Noobs! Obviously, you have logged on to MMATycoon, taken some interest, and you want to create a fighter and show the world what you have as a “manager”. Congrats! I can tell you (also being a noob myself), that it’s addicting, it’s fun, and it doesn’t have to take up a lot of time. MMATycoon is the perfect , temporary,  escape-hatch from average every-day boredom!!

The term “noob” is basically short for “noobie” or “new guy”. I used to spell it “newb”, but I was informed by a vet here in our MMATycoon world that the correct spelling is “noob” as in “big, dumb, boob”. As in most organizations within society, the new guys takes a lot o’ lumps as he gets started, thus you are stuck with the title until you get out there, train, and win a couple o’ fights.  

The following is a quick “laundry list” if you will, of common mistakes made by “noobs”. I should know, Iv’e made every one of these! I’m still learning as I go, but if I can help you avoid some of these pitfalls, I think your time here will be MUCH more enjoyable without such a learning curve.   

When creating a fighter, it’s easy to get caught up in the circular debate over what style is th

Introducing Brutal Deluxe's first Hall Of Fame inductees.

BRUTAL DELUXE, Fight Organization, Sydney
Company profile by

After a little more than a year of activity in Sydney, BDX is proud to finally introduce its 4 first entries in its hall of fame - Yes, only 4 because we wanna make it count, so we're gonna have a new HOF inductee only every 20 events.

-JASE "The Noose" NEWSON (MMA 22-6) (BDX 9-1) (WW champion) : Already a star before signing with us, Jase captured the 170lbs belt as soon as he arrived in BDX - He lost it briefly, but never got out of the tilte contention mix and eventually reclaimed his title, becoming one of Sydney's best P4P fighters in the process - Currently on a 7 fights win streak (inlcuding 6 KO's or TKO's), he recently put a beatdown on the MW champ Ben Jackson.

-RON BURGUNDY (MMA 10-0-1) (BDX 10-0-1) (LW champion) : When he signed with BDX one year ago, Burgundy had yet to make his pro MMA debut... today he is still undeafeated after 11 fights, only conceding a draw in a fight many thought he won. As a featherweight and then as a lightweight, Ron climbed the rankings slowly but surely, to eventually become a champion, and Sydney's best light

Bradshaw off to a great start!

Fighter profile of Robert Bradshaw by Matthew Clark

Robert Bradshaw is off to a great start after winning his fourth fight in a row. He has won two of his fights by TKO, another by KO, and one decision. He is certainly a force to be reckoned with in the BHFC Vegas. We approached him as he was leaving his gym to ask him a couple questions.

Hello Robert. How does it feel to win your fourth fight in a row by TKO?

It feels great,Matt. I was training like crazy before that fight, trying to improve my wrestling and ground game. It was a good fight, and I came out on top, but it could've gone either way.

What are your plans after finishing your final fight with  BHFC?

Well I plan on staying and competing with BHFC. Its really a great org and I would reccomend it to anyone looking for a great place to fight in Veg

New Feature - Pyramid Table Rankings

Editorial by Mike Tycoon

If you've played many of the other sports sims online, you may be familiar with the concept of a pyramid league structure for rankings. We'll be adding this as a feature in the near future for both managers and alliances.

For both types, we'll have leagues of 8 managers, with 1 top division, 3 second divisions, 9 third divisions, 27 fourth divisions etc, down to level 7 for managers and however many levels we need for alliances (probably 3).

Each season will last 1 month, starting on the first day of the month with one manager being promoted and 3 being relegated from each division. We will also take into account inactive managers, so sometimes the second placed manager will also be promoted.

I've always wanted to do this structure but never got round to it because I couldn't think of a suitable scoring system. I came up with something today that I'm happy with, so here goes;

# 3 points for a win
# 1 point for a draw
# + or - a point for a finish or being finished
# A bonus of 1-8 points for each manager in the league, based on their opponent's hype (based on the fighter rather than the manager)
# This applies up to 10 fights in the month. After 10 fights, the points are adjusted to be an average points score over 10 fights

Hopefully this additional league structure provides some added interest and jepoar

The Four Kings in Amsterdam

Valhalla: Four Kings (ID 150k+), Fight Organization, Amsterdam
Company profile by

Hello everyone!

The Four Kings in Amsterdam is a starting 150k ID capped fight org for the future MMA royalty of MMATycoon. We are planning to have some inter-org tournaments in future. We already have recaps, event posters and a private gym for 4K fighters only!

So... What's up with the name "four kings" eh? Since the fighter weight isn't such a big deal in MMATycoon I thought I'd suppress the division count a bit. This way the match making will be easier and there will be more opponents/fight opportunities. The champion of each weight class will be crowned a KING. =) The Four Kings weight divisions are as follows:

- 4K Lightweight (135 & 145lbs)
- 4K Middleweight (155 & 170lbs)
- 4K Cruiserweight (185 & 205lbs)
- 4K Heavyweight (265 & +265lbs)

Do YOU have what it takes to hold the crown? If the answer is YES then please be in touch and I will hook your future king of mmatycoon up. =) Obviously fighters from all weightclas

Well, well, well, what do we have here? To open the night we have a virgin, "Jr." Tatum taking on the less than impressive rookie "West" Wesley who has lost both of his professional MMA bouts to date. To the same guy. Bummer! Taking a look at the two I am not confident Wesley is going to be able to turn this streak around
