 With two new champions produced during this weeks double-shot events with Jed Knight defeating Ramon Gracie for the 170lbs title and Dimitri Zaitsev defeating Keith Bishop for the vacated 265lbs title both divisions are looking stronger than ever and I'm really pleased with the success we had with these shows, thank you to everyone who took part.
The next two weeks will also be double shot cards and while I will still maintain only sending one weekly update ingame mail whenever possible I do post the event reviews the day after usually by this time of day, just so you know if you are on the Friday card you can go ahead and expect to see the review up sometime Saturday, you don't have to wait for my mail for it to be up!
Ill go ahead and copy / paste in the important public announcements from our write-up for the folks who don't read the forums but otherwise take care for the week guys, ill have the updated rankings on the main Aspire MMA organisation page sometime tomorrow afternoon for you all.

#### Copy / Paste : Announcements / Notes ####
Hello all, another fantastic week here at Aspire MMA moving into the rank 8 global position and with legendary Blitzkrieg promoter Shiv joining the organisation's staff in an advisory capacity as we continue to look for ways to improve the experience we provide our managers and strengthen our position as the premier 280k promotion in the game.
The wealth of experience he brings to the table in having run not only one of the best organisation in the games history but in the development of a truly global brand, franchised worldwide at the height of it's empire spanning multiple promotions across many cities including gym networks with co-branded nutritional support have been a road map to success I have followed since the inception of Aspire MMA with great admiration for what they achieved in times gone past and a deep desire to recreate it here and now with Aspire MMA.
From a manager standpoint nothing much will change, but for me, this will be a great learning experience, one I appreciate greatly as I look forward to working with one of the greatest promoters the game has ever known.
As the organisation continues to develop we are looking at potential organisation buy-outs in the 275k+ ID range, as has always been the case with Aspire MMA we have taken competitive 275k+ ID fighters (No world beaters or division destroyers please) and will continue to do so in the long term, this process has always been gradual and I hope by now I have earned the trust of the roster as I continue to make the most necessary of moves of introducing selected lower-ID fighters who I consider to be a good fit for the promotion giving us a much-needed shot in the arm of hype as we progress on our path towards PPV
the truth is we are now in a unique position of been too small to be big, too big to be small out ranking numerous PPV active orgs in the wake of our recent rise, for us to progress to be a top level organisation I'm going to need the continued faith and understanding of the managers to make this a success.
Regarding our 135lbs division or lack thereof, particularly when writing the 'pre' section of the 145lbs Carlos Ortega vs Michail Podolski fight tonight I once again asked myself as I have numerous times over the last few weeks "why on earth some of our 145lbs fighters aren't simply fighting at their natural weights at 135lbs", the truth is when I took over the organisation the division was in shambles and my early attempts to hire for it resulted in failure as I did not have enough of a base to interest outsiders to join us, my question to the managers at 145lbs is simply this, would you be interested in dropping to 135lbs if that was an option? if the answer is yes please get in contact with me directly, if enough of you do so ill consider making the switch for some of you guys.
With last nights Just Bleed 37 review coming in at 7,900 words (47,572 characters) and tonight's Just Bleed 38 review coming in at some 6,687 words (40,294 characters) it's fair to say this has been the most mentally taxing weekend I have had in a long time, it's difficult to maintain the standard we have set for ourselves but I want you all to know it is my pleasure to do so, I love what I do and I really appreciate whenever I get some feedback or kind words regarding the extra miles I always try to go for you guys, it means the world to me when I see people telling their friends about these write-ups in the chat room or making comments about things I wrote in them, thank you so much, guys.
