Still bullshit... stupid simulator.

[The Sandmen]

I'll take the blame for that one. I put a lot of points into Zoila.

I've put points into Eye too... what's your point? The problem isn't the loss here... it's the fact that we put points into our fighters and it does nothing, then you see guys like Dozers, and yourself to a point, put less points in, and they're fucking gods... it's bullshit. A fighter like Eye should be smart enough and tough enough to last atleast to the 4th or 5th round without a problem against a defensive fighter like Zoila. This was pretty much shit.

[The Sandmen]

Maybe some Sub D upgrades would help.

Murphy is maxed dude and I upgraded her right. Eye isn't even close to maxed so you can really compare our fighters like that.

Murphy was doing well and won the belt before she was capped dude. What I was talking about had nothing to do with Murphy being capped. But whatever, it's done now.

Nah, it was a great debut fight for your team. The fact is that I just don't like Gurgel... she's sucked IRL since she lost to Eye, and it's rubbed off on D'Alelio, who hasn't won a fight since she started training with Gurgel when Nakamoto went down her knee injury. I mean, I'm happy you feel you got a good fighter, and, by ManMMA standards, she is... I'm just not a fan, at all.

[The Sandmen]

I like that it's Zoila's fault in real life that D'Alelio is losing to everyone. That amuses me. Next up, let's blame the weather in Prague for Matt Hughes' ingrown toe nail.
