Michael Bolton
2 points into Kick Defense
1 point into Recovery
1 point into Chin Strength

Jon Bon Jovi
2 points into Takedown Speed

Beating Sagat was gonna be a tall order! I was just hoping Bolton woulda kept it defensive and tried to croon Sagat into submission.

Anyway, Neil's performance got us a bunch of points, and that should be 12.

Let's do this for Vince Neil
1 point into conditioning
1 point into mobility
1 point into creative kicks

That'll bring us down to 9, and I'll do a team training session after Axl Rose's next fight.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
I think Michael Bolton's a fatty fat fat. When he sits around the house, he sits AROUND the house! it's time for him to go on a diet to get down around 200 lbs with a cutdown weight of 195.

Bon Jovi can use a diet too, noticed a bit of a love handle starting to form in the early part of the first round. Let's get him down to 180 lbs with a cutdown weight of 175.

I imagine any weight loss/gain would take the fighters out of action for a bit?

I think Bon Jovi might be the only fighter with anything left in the tank, hoping the fight with Weedman isn't the harbinger of doom. I think Stan would beat Vince Neil after that performance. We'll see how Michael Bolton does after his crash diet.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
Saying Michael Bolton's butt needs it's own zip code didn't make him lose enough weight but it encouraged him to run roughshod over Rustow. It was time to mix up matchups anyway. Hopefully he makes weight for the next fight!

Armitage
Aug 16, 2005

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
Bolton's a man without a weight division at this point. Let's end that experiment! Although after his last couple of fights I have to wonder if Bolton's effectively done as a fighter.

I'll keep VInce Neil at Light Heavyweight since he's back on track. I'll probably just use points on him and Bon Jovi going forward! Maybe Bach, he can win a fight, though he did not win the last fight because he was on drugs.

Move Bon Jovi back up to Light Heavyweight, please, while I figure out what to do with ROCK.
