The Daymonster deliberately dominated BJ Penn in the last match but he'll be up against it when battling number one contender Toby 'Pablito' Neal this Saturday.
The match between Daymonster and the Prodigy went the full 5 rounds before the challenger edged a decision with a unanimous vote to take the belt. BJ will not be pleased because his submission attempts were useless against a non-tapper like the Daymonster. Against a normal opponent he would have won via a devastating armbar in the second round. Unfortunately for BJ, Daymonster refused to give in and was able to escape every submission attempt to put the champ on his back and reverse the advantage. Daymonster had a brutal ground and pound which resulted in the Prodigy being treated after the fight by the fight doctor for a broken nose. BJ barely pulled himself together to approach the ref in order to have Daymonster declared the unanimous winner.
Pablito, on the other hand, has had a quiet rise to the number one contender position. He is only 5-1 after his first 6 UFC fights holding wins over his training partner Sean Sherk and the newly promoted from WEC champ Ben Henderson. The unlikely challenger is able to fight for the belt due to the unexpected losses by Eddie Alvarez and Joachim Hansen to Gilbert Melendez and Tatsuya Kawajiri respectively. These unexpected results allowed Pablito to jump up in the rankings to now have the ability to challenge for the Lightweight belt.
Tune in this Saturday to see who comes out on top. UFC 117!!

i'd like to be the ref
also the dammer-unky warthog battle that has been talked about for years should be on this card.
No eye gouging, dammer.
Construct and octogon in the clubhouse garage?
I think dammer and I are favorites.
daymonster -500
dammer -130
Also assuming I get a few months to prepare I'll fight Josey on this card.
I'm obviously a pretty big underdog at this point.
My thoughts on Daymonster-Pablito
Daymonster-Pablito:
I see Daymonster as a big favorite in this fight. He wrestled in high school, and should be able to get takedowns against Pablito without too much trouble. From there he should be able to punish Pablito via the ground and pound and win by TKO.
Pablito's best chance for the victory is to keep the fight in the stand-up. If he can deny Daymonster's takedown attempts he has a chance. Pablito possesses powerful headkicks and could conceivably put Daymonster to sleep with a well-placed blow. Pablito also likely has better cardio than Daymonster and could possibly outlast him to earn a decision victory.
Neither fighter is well-versed in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu so I don't think there will be too many submission attempts, but perhaps one or both of them has been secretly training...
Prediction: Daymonster 2nd round TKO by ground and pound.
Our fight won't make it to the second round. I don't need to do cardio.
f you guys. if this was real daymonster wouldn't be in my weight class. gimme a fair opponent.
I can cut to whatever weight you want pablito... or I'll take puyo.
Or, you could quit cutting and instead come up to my weight....I recommend a solid non-diet no physical activity regimen.
borderlands is awesome.

Daymonster do you have the menu music in a wav?
Also what was that halo rating based on stats formula you guys made up? Need one for my game. I can keep track of pretty much any stat needed.
Also any ideas for the game?
I got bots working now, and you can play with them in online and system link games too.
It would be nice if we could do a play test sometime.
I can put the music in wav format.
Puyo, have you thought about using non-ridiculous fonts?
nope
post game pwnage report
lot of betrayals in that match
yep, to keep the game from running slow the bots aren't as smart when there are so many of them.
You can have up to 16 bots and they work okay, but if you have less than 8 of them they work a lot better and typically won't get any betrayals or do stupid stuff like try to shoot through a wall and instead throw a grenade over it.

That game looks neat. Is there weapon stacking?
what do you mean weapon stacking?
You can have as many weapons as there are at once, you get the ammo for ones you already have instead of 2 of the same.
I mean if you collect different power ups your weapon becomes stronger as a combo of the previous power ups. So like, you get one that makes you fire faster, another that makes you fire missiles, another that makes your projectiles track their target, and combined it gives you missiles that lock on target and fire at a rapid rate....or something. I'm trying to think of games I've played that did this.
nope doesn't do that
what's kofc doing for Halloween?
