*These fighters were upgraded beyond their current cap level prior to the implimentation of this cap system. Rather then removing points arbitrarily and punishing teams who put the work into these fighters before the cap change, these fighters currently remain "overclocked" - an overall above their should-be cap level.

Also note: When this list is updated, no one will ever move down - only up. ManMMA is about having the best fighters of all time at their very best.

That thread is already in this section, but it is conveniently called "Currently Capped Fighters".

@The Sandmen: Lesnar should be one of the over-clocked fighters, should he not? I was sure he was.

The people in this thread CAN be upgraded (except Overclocked fighters).


The people in THIS THREAD are capped and cannot be upgraded anymore.

[The Mighty Ducks]

you didn't need to yell

[The Sandmen]

I did. There's a movie playing in the background here and I don't think you'd be able to hear me over it otherwise.

[The Mighty Ducks]

[The West Coast Knockouts]

That 84 overall cap on Overeem is going to hurt his chances at winning HW gold again .

[The Sandmen]

Nah, he's pretty well-upgraded. He'll be a contender for quite a while.

[xx - Team GAP]

I think Diego should be a B fighter since in his prime he was undeated in like 17 fights or some junk.

[The Sandmen]

Updated.

Please check your fighters, as this update may have removed the cap on one or two fighters (for example, xx - Team GAP, Gray Maynard is now on this list and is no longer capped).
