I like that it's okay for you to upgrade D;Alelio to be a superstar, but when someone else does it, it's bullshit? Can you maybe explain to me what the difference is between the two?

[xx - Camp Cannon]

only thing i didn't like about this fight is Holm going for subs when shes a boxer/kick boxer other than that if she can stay on her feet she has the advantage.. this tourney should be her's unless Murphy pulls off the upset of the year!

[The Sandmen]

Murphy has probably had more upgrades. It should be a good fight.

[xx - Camp Cannon]

Murphy had like 5 upgrades i think Holly 35 or so

[The Sandmen]

Murphy has had a truck load.

[xx - Camp Cannon]

i hope murphy didn't have a better starting build than holm did i don't think she'd beat Holly in a real fight.. but that's just my opinion..

[The Sandmen]

They both had shitty starting builds, especially compared to Leslie Smith, and they are both doing perfectly fine.

Easily...

1) D'Alelio's still no superstar. Didn't beat Carano; didn't win the title. Pretty cut and dried there.
2) These two allegedly shittier built fighters have had half to less than half the upgrades of Rousey, D'Alelio & Coenen, but yet these newbs and shittier are suddenly beating these fighters you're claiming are "superstars" and are already phenoms. Try and say "smart upgrading" all you like, Dozers will tell you himself he has no clue about MMA or how he's upgrading and Cannon, being a ManMMA veteran, knows the simulator generally favors the heavy handed strikers such as we've seen with Cyborg in the past, and even then it's only taken 35 points to get Holm to this level when it's taken nearly double that for everyone else. There's no way either Holm or Murphy should be THIS good already. So yah, it's kinda bullshit.
