This thread is a constant reminder that my team sucks... i hate that You can fix that by predicting, thus earning points, thus upgrading.

You've also technically be here the shortest amount of time and have 3 belts when the league has been more competitive than it ever has. There was a lot of belt exchanges through the first 100 cards because a guy could get upgraded and then be miles ahead of everyone else. That's changed with everyone beefing up their teams and having just quality competition day in, day out. 3 Belts is nothing to scoff at, that's a celebration. I've been at it since the beginning, and most of my belts are from that early exchange. I've gotten about 4 belts in the last 100 cards, and quickly lost them because there are so many well-rounded fighters. Just keep upgrading and doing your thing. It's going to pay off even more than it already has. I was also very happy to see that everyone has at least 1 belt. That's awesome. I have half as many belts as him in shorter time muahahahaha

Not to ruin too much of your thunder there, but there is something to be said for developing your own champions vs. having someone's charity donation win a belt while on your team as well.

Cain Velasquez The Rocketmen ManMMA 275 WON TITLE ManMMA 303 LOST TITLE 9 TITLE DEFENCES At that point, Cain, who I built to glory, was (and still is) the longest reigning consecutive title defences in ManMMA HW History. I think I'll keep that feather in my cap.

You were given Conor and Cain. You did not acquire them nor create them. In the future, you will have been around long enough to know the difference. You're still doing well, though. Just don't spend too much time thinking the totals are completely comparable.

I still love that I built the most dominant fighters in both HW and MW. May not have a ton of belts next to my name, but I held them for a long damn time.
HW:
Cain Velasquez - 9 straight title defenses.
MW:
Wanderlei Silva - 15 straight title defenses.
I'm not sure either will be broken for a very long time.

Yeah, no doubt he was good before I got him, I'm just saying I did put quite a few points into him, and fine tuned him a bit for better or for worse, so it's not like I got him, did nothing, won belt. You know what I'm saying? Thanks again for that donation.

Just don't spend too much time thinking the totals are completely comparable. Yes, I know that. All I was saying is that I put quite a bit of points into each of them. If I remember correctly, Conor wasn't capped when you donated him to me (which I highly appreciated) and I capped him.

I just feel what you are missing with that whole "but I capped them and fine-tuned them" is the whole "someone else put 40 points into him to begin with". Meaning you and your team would not HAVE 40 points to spend on other title contenders, etc. The points put into Cain and Conor before you got them is probably between 70-80 points. Those are points that you did not have to spend, so you could do the fine-tuning, or work on your own projects, or what have you. I mean, we are not trying to trash your accomplishments (as Mike and I both said, you are doing awesome) I just want to ensure that you understand, for example, why you have more belts than someone like xx - Team GAP who has been here longer than you but has spent his time crafting and fine-tuning his own fighters from scratch. Crafting your own fighters takes a lot more than acquiring legit people and topping them up.
