Las Vegas DFC Does Not Fit The Mold

Dissolution Fighting Championship (290k+), Fight Organization, Las Vegas
Company profile by Jay Lawrence

DFC Las Vegas is anything but ordinary.  Those at DFC-LV are changing the way a fighting organization is looked at and thinking outside the box.  For a starting org and even experienced organizations, most recommend only doing 3 to 5 weight classes.  DFC dismisses this logic and provides equal treatment to the skinny, average, and heavy. Offering 7 weight classes and a title fight in EVERY event, DFC defies the guides.

It is recommended to do one event per week to maximize profit return and hype.  Does DFC do this? No. Offering two events per week every Friday and Saturday night, DFC provides action for 40 fighters and two title contentions every week.

When DFC-LV first began, some kind and helpful managers reached out to CEO Jay Lawrence to give advice.  One of the things they pointed out is how the top 10 orgs all have about 100-150 fighters.  Well, you guessed it!  DFC hosts over 250 fighters with the ability to accomodate the young, the old, and the restless.  The strong will rise the the weak will be replaced.

Rookie Fighter Announces Retirement Several Years Early

Fighter profile of Richard Kenvinchen by Murchead UaToirneach

In what has turned into perhaps the most baffling announcement in MMA history, rookie fighter Richard Kenvinchen has officially announced his desire to retire "in several years, perhaps after I lose a big title fight or something similar". While this reporter is no stranger to fighters announcing their retirement in advance, this is perhaps the first time it has been done so far before the actual date. Furhter reports are that in the night preceeding this event, Mr. Kenvinchen was seen heading out of a local New York bar, loudly proclaiming his intention to fight what witnesses claim was a fictional character on a nearby billboard.

When contacted over the telephone for a statement, the fighter's manager,

GAMMA: Renan St Juste HOF Induction

Global Association of MMA, Fight Organization, London
Company profile by Mentor Guru Corleone

Managed by Gale Hawthorne, Record inside GAMMA 44-17-2. Retired from GAMMA at the age of 43y. Renan is a 5 x 170lbs champion a feat never achieved by anyone in any of the top level organizations. He competed in a total of 29 total title fights for the org over the years.

He had 48 FON awards, and is a 2 x GAMMA fighter of the year and a Game Hall of Famer since 2013. He had the best chin in history, never KOed in 80 pro fights and basically fought the best of the best the game has seen in his weight division.

I probably missed a few, but among the top 10 ranked fighters he beat are Sinuhe Egyptian, Ronald McDonald, Sativa Sensei, Jurmas Uusisto, Marshall Noir, Russ Rutger, Rufus McTearson, Patrick Jane, Shinichi Onizuka.

Upon retirement Renan accumulated a total of 375 points which positions him in first place above Raz Matazz which had 321.

Jeremy Tonal which ranked in 3rd place did more in a shorter period of time, but if we are talking about long term greatness, the stats don't lie, Renan is the best fighter in our history and probably the best 170lbs fighter the game has ever seen.

Jay's Tycoon Tips

Editorial by Jay Lawrence

The topic for this edition of the Tycoon Times is fight preparation:

When preparing for a fight try to insure you have all these items in place at least on the day of the fight:
-Full energy
-Fighter in the correct city
-High morale
-Sliders set
-correct weight
 

For energy, start a week ahead.  Go to "fight offers" and see what fights you have for the next week.  Select your fighter who has the soonest fight offer. Click on the weight symbol and see how many sessions it will take you to get to 100% energy.  Go to that fighter's gym and set his training schedule so he will have 100% energy before the fight.

Make sure your fighter is in the right city.  Do not wait for auto flight, instead get your flight in at least 2 days prior.  Some big organizations have their own flights which can pick you up too.  Personally, I use public flights for visits and private flights for moving bases.  If you're really lazy wit

Sponsored by “Bad Company” fight wear.

We have a belter of a main event tonight as we are set to crown our first ever Light heavyweight champion, atop a stacked card here in the 5th edition of DFC: Mayhem.

Fight 1
“The Swedish Terror” Martin Skvardsonn 1-0-0 vs Luke Bresnan 2-0-0: 5 Rounds of 5 Minutes for the DFC Light Heavyweight Championship

This fight will be an incredible one to watch for sure, as the first champion of a stacked light heavyweight division will be decided tonight. Both fighters are relatively inexperienced, with a total of three professional fights between both of them. Bresnan has a great all round game, with his strong boxing ability, decent wrestling and purple belt in jiu jitsu – he has built his skillset to be based around being prepared for allcomers. He comes up agai
