New Team Help/Donation?

[The Sandmen]

I'm going to try this a bit differently this time.

What's Up?
We have a new member. At my request, he has sent me a list of everyone who interests him. If you have any of these people and would be willing to help a new team by donating, it would be great!

I'm hoping we can get a decent team built through donations, but I guess if it comes to it, we can start hammering out the details for an expansion draft


Who is he Interested in that I might have?
Joanna Jedrzejczyk (22-5) FW - xx - The Broad Street Bullies
Shogun Rua (45-41) HW - xx - The Broad Street Bullies
Chuck Liddell (56-35) HW - xx - The Broad Street Bullies
Demetrious Johnson (18-26) LW - xx - The Broad Street Bullies
Ronda Rousey (60-30-1) BW - xx - Camp Cannon
Holly Holm (30-13) BW - xx - Camp Cannon
Paige VanZant (16-16) FW - xx - Camp Cannon
Junior dos Santos (57-31) HW - xx - Camp Cannon
Lyoto Machida (59-34) MW - xx - Camp Cannon
Rampage Jackson (48-39) HW - Ferocity
Forrest Griffin (44-36) HW - Ferocity
Brock Lesnar (65-30) HW - xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club
Rashad Evans (36-37) HW - xx - Team GAP
Sara McMann (21-34) BW - The Mighty Ducks
Cain Velasquez (50-32) HW - The Rocketmen
Nate Diaz (13-22) LW - The Sandmen
Conor McGregor (35-25) LW - The Sandmen
Anderson Silva (88-22) MW - The Sandmen
Alistair Overeem (65-35, 1) HW - The West Coast Knockouts


What kind of compensation can I get?
For starters, with enough donations, we won't have to go through a shitty expansion draft (remember that thing I mention vaguely and begrudgingly sometimes as what we might need to do when the donations dry up ) . For me, that's the biggest one.

But in addition, for every donated fighter, ManMMA will compensate you with this:
- 3 Points
- an additional fighter of your choosing to be created or selected from free agency

If anyone prefers to discuss any of this privately with me, you have my inbox number...and most of you have me on Skype. Or Facebook...etc. (please don't message me on Facebook).

Thank you for any help you can provide

[The Sandmen]

At this time, Sandmen will donate Conor McGregor & Nate Diaz

[The Rocketmen]

Cain Velasquez - Provided

I always give a new member a fighter from my team, so might as well be Cain

[The Mighty Ducks]

sara mcmann donated

[The Rocketmen]

I'll process the whole 3 points back aspect once this is finalized, just in case people change their minds and whatnot The Texas Rattlesnakes welcome to the site!

Unfortunately, outright donating a currently sitting champion would be silly, and not my style... not to mention it's Lesnar, probably the one HW I won't move at all, especially after the fiasco it took to get him. So, I'd be more inclined to take my chances with an expansion draft than give up Lesnar outright, as we can protect fighters in an expansion draft, but no doubt those "rules" would change suddenly too, just like everything else around here...

So, that being said, I would be willing to part with:

HW: Tito Ortiz OR Alexander Gustafsson
MW: Nate Marquardt OR Jon Fitch
LW: Mike Brown OR Edson Barboza
BW: None.
FW: DeAnna Bennett OR Karolina Kowalkiewicz

[The Rocketmen]

Man, Tito or Gustafsson would be a MAJOR grab for the new team. Good stuff xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club !

[xx - Former Bulldozers]

I think I have Maurice Smith. If I do then I'll give him up.

[xx - Former Bulldozers]

As well as Hisae Watanabe.

Out of curiosity...how many people above will withdraw their offers of donation if I say the compensation offer of 3 points and a new fighter only apply to the people listed in the post?

[The Rocketmen]

I don't think this is meant to be used as a dropping ground to get multiple points back for a fighter people don't really want. It's a list generated by a new member on people he would like to have on his team.

That said, some folks are offering up some solid pieces for free to the new team, so I'm not sure how to resolve this. But I'm not going to just give some like middling fighter just so I can get 3 points. I don't even care if I get points for Cain. I definitely don't need the "free fighter" aspect. Others might need/want that part to be accommodating though and I get that.

[xx - Team GAP]

I dont want to get rid of rashad evans... however i would be willing to provide a list of fighters i would be willing to give up

[xx - The Broad Street Bullies]

Demetrious Johnson - Donated
6 Points - Donated

Side Note: If anyone would give a fighter, but isn't OK doing so with the given compensation, send me a PM. I'd be more than happy to pay extra compensation for fighters to be donated.

Yeah, yeah. I didn't say people would get nothing (An offer like Tito I could still do 3+ a fighter), but someone like ROusimar Palhares I don't think the league could offer 3+ for type thing. As you said, I just didn't want it to be a dumping ground of "Holy hell, I can get 3 points and a replacement for scrubby Paul Harris if I offer him here vs. if I just cut him" type thing.
