Even more dumb... GAP's getting hugely screwed on this card. That sucks.

[xx - Former Bulldozers]

I was expecting Griffin to win like this.

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

Oh bullshit lol You can't really be expecting a doctor stoppage. You're so full of it Jive Turkey.

I was expecting sometime of luck in the victory

xx - Team GAP should temporarily trade me Fedor for an overhaul. He needs a lot of fine-tuning. He is too well-rounded, which is perfect everywhere in life except in this program.

[xx - Former Bulldozers]

Can I trade you Coleman for a fine-tuning lol

[xx - Former Bulldozers]

And Lima also

[The Sandmen]

No.

[xx - Former Bulldozers]

Fineeeeeeee I'll just stay in last and in debt

So you're the only one on the site that's able to fine tune people properly?! See this is the exact reason why we should have the attributes revealed, even if it is just for the capped fighters.

Another fight is brewing.

Have you seen GAP fine-tuning Fedor lately? I have points, so I offered. Also...I offered GAP, not you. Feel free to head on over to your corner and stop interfering with my offers to other teams that have, literally, nothing to do with you. K? Good. Thanks.

Cough cough I have a negative amount of points cough cough.

You're on the right track towards non-debt though Plus you have a sustainable team. That's a bonus too.
