An interesting fight to see where these two ladies stacked up. Result – Liz has come a fair way, but Murphy’s power-upgrading has put her on another level.

That's my girl!!!!!!!!

Bullshit... lol Murphy. : *sigh*

[Deleted]

She's a beast

[The Sandmen]

Phoenix, I don't understand why a heavily upgraded Murphy could be called bullshit, but D'Alelio winning any fights here would not be.

[Ferocity]

cause we all hate it when our fighters loose?

I don't, i just like having fun.

[The Rocketmen]

I prefer it when my fighters are tight, not loose, so in that respect, Ferocity is correct.

On the flip side, Mac Danzig can be upgraded a lot and win fights he shouldn't and that's a good thing. Murphy can be upgraded and show some progress and that's unacceptable.

I agree with Kruze. Danzig should have a title and everyone else can go fuck themselves. Except Brock Lesnar. He's only 180 lbs now.

Brock Lesnar.. LW champion

[The Rocketmen]

Damn straight GAP

[xx - Camp Cannon]

did sandmen give her extra % starting rate cause most the new females suck balls just saying

[The Sandmen]

Really? How does one suck "balls just saying"? Is that a particular brand of balls? The just saying balls? And why can't they just suck regular balls, rather than "balls just saying"? I hope you can clear this up for me soon, because we would all like to know what The Cannon has to say about this one.

You and Sandmen have this annoying habit of attempting to claim I say things that I just simple don't. I never once said that Danzig should be a champion yet; Brown's more likely to win the title at this point than Danzig. With Murphy, her recent upgrades not withstanding, she was already better than most women to start out with when she started. Cannon's actually right for a change; the women usually suck when they're first created for the league... Curiously, both Murphy & Honchak, only, have been good to start with within the last few seasons.

What I'm honestly not understanding here Mike, is all these shitty attempts on your part to antagonize me. Cuz as soon as I bite back, you'll cry foul and say that I provoked you somehow. I'm not playing your games anymore bro. It's not fun for me nor do I find it funny at all. You need to let go whatever it is you figure you still have against me and move on. Cuz the only one you're making look like a complete joke, is yourself. Just let it go... I'm sure you can better things to do with your time.
