Diesel: That’s perfect man, remember the original premise of this event was for guys stepping into an MMA fight for the first time in their life.
I’ll try to focus on finding you an opponent jumping in for the first time too, just make sure you train your ass off and I’ll work on matching you up.

whats the deadline for trying to get fighters for this? As it currently stands I am 0-1 in mma, and i really rushed into that first fight with not enough training and not being in good shape, and I don’t want to do that again. As I am just re-starting more mma focused training, would it be ok to come back in a month or two and tell you I want to fight?
Thomas Torres ht- 5’11"wt- 155-170age- 25record- 0-0-0 ya i’m undefeated hahaexperience- 2 years on and off mma (mostly bjj)gym- i train out of Prime Performance in Amarillo, TX
Beorn: That’s fine. I’ll go ahead and say the deadline will be about 3 weeks out so I can get everything worked out with sponsors and stuff.
I’ll adjust that if I can or need to.
However, I don’t know if Bullshido’s Team leader will impose their own deadlines, again that’s y’alls call.
Phrost, I know you don’t like linking here but could I possibly link the UG thread for these guys so they can have a peak at what’s going on there?
One thing I found with these events is members tend to join both sites so they can post on the other threads and call people out, it helps with communication and allows people to match up when I’m not around, then they just tell me.
I’m going to go ahead and link the UGers so you’ll probably see a few of them over here soon.
[quote=Dreamermma;2084186]Hey diesel, mind if I tell people you are a cop?
No offense, but I’m sure more people will want to try and punch your head off.
Could be easier to get you an opponent.
Seriously though, we had a cop fight on the first UGGP then come back for an epic, bloody rematch.[/quote]
Well, actually I wasn’t a cop, corrections. And I’m not in corrections right now. I’m an investigator but I’m currently talking to my supervisors to find out if I can put what I do on here. They might not want me to say. But if you really want to know, and won’t publish it, PM me.

Oh I’m perfectly fine with linking to relevant stuff. We’ve only cracked down on it in the cases of a few newer MMA sites who’ve tried to spam us to advertise their sites for free.
I’m making it a point not to agree to any MMA matches until I have a reasonably acceptable level of skill in grappling. I don’t want to look like a fool as soon as the fight inevitably winds up on the ground
After I’ve had about a year of consistent grappling training I’ll start considering making my MMA debut. I want to make sure I look sufficiently awesome when I fight, you know?
This is the relevant thread on the UG. For those asking what the UG is it’s the UnderGround forum on what was mma.tv but is now www.mixedmartialarts.com
You may have to actually be on the UG for the link to work so just go to the site and go to the forum button on the upper left of the page, hold the mouse over it until a sub menu appears and click on old school UG, when you get the the forum all the threads will be on the left hand side.
