Ouch Huerta and Fisher come to an end that fast. Increasing Huerta KO defense definitly didn't help. Now to figure out who else is worth upgrading as we go forward.

Marco Ruas!!!

I won't be earning enough upgrades to start wasting them on another fighter that will lose as soon as he fights anybody halfway decnet. I have to stick with Huerta now. I am all in with Huerta win or lose now unfortunatly.

[The Sandmen]

It's not about one win or one loss, its about developing a whole fighter. I think Ruas is your best pound for pound fighter.

NOW, that said, I think the heavyweight division is REALLY packed, so working on a lighter weight class might be the smarter way to go. Personally, I think MW is the thinnest division. Women's division is REALLY thin, but breaking into those top 4 fighters is HARD. But yes, sticking with Huerta is not necessarily a bad thing.


Your choices are working on Huerta as an all-around MMA fighter (smarter route?), or focusing on Fisher's boxing (shorter route?). Both could easily create a super stud of either one.

Huerta's a tough MoFo... I wouldn't be too worried about him just yet.
