You should consider moving Coenen to someone who needs a woman, since Murphy is clearly now your #1, and Coenen was given to you as a new team charity fighter.

[Deleted]

I could try moving her but I'll be looking for a LW.

[The Sandmen]

You could also pay forward the charity that was given to you and instead of looking to profit, since your team is clearly in very, very good shape, you could throw a lesser team a bone.

Save Coenen for a new team.

[The Sandmen]

I know of a new team with 0 women right now...

[Deleted]

I would've given her to @cor99 but his team's to "good" for charity

[The Sandmen]

He thinks so, but the league and ~ The President ~ do not, and we would encourage a deal to be made.

It makes him auto-forfiet all women fights in the GP. A little bird told me someone on the team wanted Dillashaw to fight in the women's division...not just for the GP, but...for the belt.

Murphy would still kick his/her?? ass.

lol Sure... toss a wig on him and let the girls beat the shit out of him for a while.

[The Sandmen]

That's a little bit cruel. But maybe.
