UFC 100 is here!

July 12th at {FM} Headquarters we will be getting together to watch UFC 100!  Im sure we will play some Undisputed as well but no tourney setup yet unless you guys want to do one.  Bring money for food, or bring your own food. We’ll figure it out as it gets closer. See u there. 

Brackets

Here is the setup for the Lightweight Tournament

Division 1                           Division 2

GIB                                    Webb
Cabose                               Debus
Church                               Sykoh
Machine                              Tucker
Lemmy                              Lando

We will do a round robin tournament for the 1st round to determine the top 2 from each division.  Then it will be a traditional 4man bracket for the semi-final and finals. With the top guy from each division playing the second place guy from the other division in the Semi’s.  Tie breaker will be head to head wins.

Time if ya didnt know

This sunday you can meet up at Debus’ house starting at 1:30pm.  We will be doing a BBQ. So bring money, or u can watch everyone enjoy their hamburgers and hot dogs.

We will have 4 tv’s and 4 360’s going with UFC Undisputed.  So if you get there around 1:30 you can practice a little before we do the tournaments, if you haven’t played.

U wanna eat? Bring money!

Bring money on the 24th to fight if u wanna eat anything.  Nobody’s gettin screwed this time.

2 tournaments you say?

So everyone knows about the Light Heavyweight Tournament we are doing on the 24th.  After playing the demo over the last week or so I noticed that these fights don’t last very long.  So Debus and I have decided to do a second tournament (or should I say first tournament).  We will be doing a Lightweight Tournament before the Light Heavyweight one.  This way everyone can practice a bit before the big one.  The LHT , we shall call it, will still be a random character but for the Lightweight we are going to tell you your fighter right now!  Debus made a program to randomize the fighters with their respective human operator and here is the list:


Webb          Sean Sherk

GIB              Kenny Florian

Cabose        Diego Sanchez

Church       Frank Edgar

Lemmy       Roger Huerta

Machine     Tyson Griffin

Debus         Matt Serra

Sykoh         Spencer Fisher

Tucker        Joe Stevenson

Simmons   B.J. Penn

Lando        Gray Maynard

So assuming we don’t have more people this is the groupings.  Practice if you want when you get the game, or do some research on your fighter.  Either way we’ll see ya on the 24th!

Update: I totally forgot Tucker and Simmons should also be there. We will get you guys your fighters as soon as we can. Check Saturday night.

Update #2: So the list above is the FINAL list.  We know all the people that are showing up (as far as I know) so this should be your fighter.  Practice if u can!

Practice

Demo is up. Get it!

Did someone say DEMO??

Oh Yeah!  April 23rd the Demo for UFC Unleashed will hit Xbox Live!  So get it and practice up for the Tournament May 24th.

Update: Last night Igot home from Seattle and I checked online for info on the game.  I found that there was a way to download the demo and put it on cd and it would work on the Xbox.  So last night Brandon and I played a couple matches as Chuck Lidell and Shogun Rua.  I have to say….This game ROCKS!  We probably played 7-8 matches with whoever was playing as Lidell winning all but 1 (I submitted Lidell as Rua with an Armbar, pretty cool).  There is also a Tutorial mode that shows you all or most of the moves in the game.  This game is pretty deep when it comes to that.  The clinch game and ground game will take a while to learn.  But the striking is easy enough to pick up and use to still win.  I think we are going to have an Awesome tournament in about a month. Get to practicing, one more day til it hits Live.

“The Count” takes a nap

Check out this video of Michael ‘The Count” Bisping playing UFC Undisputed in a little tournament they did at an event with the UK team from the new Ultimate Fighter Show.

I wonder what he thought of the ending?

UFC Undisputed 2009 Tournament - May 24th

As some of you know UFC Undisputed 2009 releases for the Xbox 360 on May 19th.  Also, UFC 98 is on May 23rd.  So we are planning a {FM} Fight Night at FMHQ for the following Sunday, the 24th of May.

We will be having a tournament for the game after we watch UFC 98.  The tournament will be setup like the old {FM} Fight Nights when we played the boxing game Fight Night Round 3.

The idea so far will be to pick a weight class We will use the Light Heavyweight weight class  and randomly draw the fighter you will be for the tournament.  That way it keeps it fair for everyone who hasn’t played the game.

Here is the list of confirmed fighters for the game by weight class:

HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION
Brandon Vera (can switch to Light Heavyweight)

LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION

Chuck Liddell
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson
Forrest Griffin
Tito Ortiz
Keith Jardine
Wanderlei Silva
Mauricio “Shogun” Rua
Lyoto Machida
Rashad Evans
Stephan Bonnar
James Irvin
Wilson Gouveia (can switch to Middleweight)
Houston Alexander
Kazuhiro Nakamura
Thiago Silva
Tim Boetsch
Ryan Bader (downloadable content — GameStop exclusive)

MIDDLEWEIGHT DIVISION
Anderson Silva (can switch to Light Heavyweight)
Rich Franklin (can switch to Light Heavyweight)
Dan Henderson (can switch to Light Heavyweight)
Michael Bisping (can switch to Light Heavyweight)

We need to have at least 8 people for this to work.  Already we have Debus, Webb, Church, GIB, Sykoh, Machine and Lemmy confirmed.  So ask for time off of work and clear your schedule because this will be the best {FM} Fight Night ever!
