I feel lost. I don't understand whats happening. Eric Dux is the most true, most pure most perfect fighter in the world. How could he have been beaten so? He trained like a demon. I even sacrificed another fighter in his name just to give him extra strength. It was like he wasn't even there. He didn't even have a chance to make a fight of it. I'm not sure what I should do now? I am in urgent need of help. Some one needs to make sense of ths for me. Do I still follow uncle Eric?

Eric is a great coach. He just needs to learn to man up when he loses. He makes excuses and I can't wait to see if I finally get the respect I deserve.

You shouldn't follow anyone. You should be your own fighter, but it's always good to have a mentor like Eric Dux.

I have to admit Ominura, you have found my weakness, cheating, where I come from we don't cheat, but it seems like I would either have to sink to your level or keep my pride and fight clean, I chose the latter

I don't mind though, I will always be the true champion of the MW division, I am the only guy to beat Alarcon, so that makes me the true champion, and the true champion of the LHW division too, you can beat me with dirty tactics, but everyone will always know who beat the guy you couldn't even touch, two times

It feels good to be the champ.

hmm...in denial are we?

[Shidoshi Dux]

This comes to me, clearly, with great disappointment. Not only that I lost the fight, not even with how abysmal my performance was, but with the mentality that I approached this fight and frankly my life as of late.

Truth is, I didn't deserve this fight. If I had won, I would not have deserved the title "champion." My attitude was not that of a true champion. I let frustration suck me down into a deep pit of resentment and aggression.

I have come from a lineage of great fighters, and have been used to fights coming easy to me. When things did not go so well, I let that energy become focused in negative ways. In my dojo, I teach the ways of respect, patience and virtue. I have not been the role model that a true sensei should be as of late. And it has shown through my actions, consequences and the behavior of some of my students as well.

I showed no respect to quality fighters, or an organization that gave me a place to fight and earn a living. For that, I am shamed. I got into this league to try and gain ground for the often doubted Dux name, and by my downright awful behavior I fear that I have taken the name two steps back, and no amount of belts would ever have made up for how I was acting.

It wasn't until an old fighter and friend of mine, Jeff Graham, sat me down this past weekend and pointed out how much of an ass I was making of not only myself, but how much dishonor I was bringing to the FASST gym. When Graham speaks, you listen. It was after this that I began to notice comparisons between Norbert Sykes, and myself not in fighting prowess, but in attitude and respect. This made me sick. I was put in th same category as those that I have fought against and tried so hard to steer my pupils away from such a path.

I am afraid that I owe an apology to the entire SOHK organization, my recent opponants, Shawn Richter, Aaron Xeonovich, and Jimmy Thomson, and above all- the fans. My behavior was atrocious and for that I am sorry.

Jimmy, you deserve that belt much more than I. You were the true champion and winner here long before we ever even fought and then again when we fought. I am looking forward to making my return to the belt in the proper and respectful way. If I have to wait, so be it. Next time I promise I will last longer than 8 seconds. But I don't know if I can promise the same for you.

[Jack "Joker" Napier]

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? ERIC DUX IS APOLOGIZING??? I HAVE BEEN OUT PUNISHING PEOPLE FOR YOU ERIC!! I NEVER DOUBTED YOU. I TRUSTED YOU, FOLLOWED YOU AND YOU BETRAY ME!! YOU LEAVE ME WITH NOTHING.

WELL NOW I SEE THE LIGHT. I'LL STILL PAY THE GYM FEES, I'LL STILL ATTEND THE GYM BUT I WILL FOLLOW YOU NO LONGER.

ALL THE THINGS I DID BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS RIGHT TO DO SO. NOW YOU APOLOGIZE LIKE YOU DIDN'T MEAN WHAT YOU SAID.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH. NEXT TIME I HIT THE CAGE I'M GOING FOR BLOOD. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY. YOU LOST THE MISSION DUX.

[Miles Allen]

Dux what you said holds true and I'll never claim you aren't a great fighter, you fell off the path that you were use to. It happens to everyone.

As for Kris Delgado...You know...Quite frankly I'm sick and tired of hearing your excuses. You got your ass kicked the last two times by him any which way you look at it, you were not the better fighter and until you prove so by actually beating him and not making the lamest excuses known to man...You'll never be the better fighter. For once in your pathetic life man up...You lost...I've lost, we've all lost, and we'll all lose again. Sometimes fights don't go your way, but for crying out loud Delgado...

You sound like a total idiot each and every week claiming to be so great when you are barely above the .500 mark. Get a damn grip on your life...

[Mr. Dojo Rising]

Poor Tadashi. Now he really has lost. First fight was very questionable, but now Malenko-san has shown that he can fight better than Tadashi right now. Veteran trickery has bested me once again.

I will train harder and reevaluate my strategies for when I can work my way back up the pecking order, and find a feast of victory.

Fortunately for Tadashi there is more to it than just winning in becoming

SUPER FIGHTER #1!!!!!!!

My spirits will continue to soar.

Miles-san. Please do not refer to my victory as luck. Dux has been a bad man, but that is not sound reason to attack Tadashi. It wasn't just one lucky punch. It was a whole combination of punches. How many did you land in that fight?
I train very hard to deepen and widen my skills. Do not disrespect those who have bested you, but learn from them so that someday you may become like Tadashi and you may be able to become...

SUPER FIGHTER #2!!!!!!

Because I am Tadashi Ishikawa-

SUPER FIGHTER #1!!!!!!!!

[Jack "Joker" Napier]

I'LL FIGHT DELGATO!! FUCK IT. I'LL FIGHT SYKES!!! I DON'T GIVE TWO SHITS WHO I FIGHT. BRING IT ON FUCKERS!!!!

Is this is true than I truly have failed. I am not ready to give up on you or anyone else in the gym. For every object in the world, there are two sides, the light and the dark. In order to understand the whole, we must sometimes travel to places we wish not to go. I have ventured into these places and have come through stronger. I know if you can make it through, you too shall be stronger for it as well.

[Miles Allen]

Tadashi you really make no sense. You bested me, I learned...What have I done since then? Exactly...I've won while you've lost. You thought catching me made you better...But it didn't, you caught me...Hit me square and hard...That's all there is to it. Did you win the fight...Yes...DO I believe you to be the better fighter? No...

I'm not saying I didn't lose, I'm just saying it was due to luck and dirty tactics, obviously Ominura is a lesser fighter, he couldn't even beat Alarcon, it's easy, I did it twice, I just wanted to make sure nobody was going to give Ominura undeserved credit and recognise that you can only be the true champion of the MW division if you beat Alarcon, he couldn't do it

That's why I will always be the true champion, Ominura waits for better fighters to take out the guys he can't beat and then trains to beat the guy that beat him, I can't respect that, that's why I will never give Ominura credit, but I will always give everyone else that beats me credit.

Yes, Tadashi has lost since then. But both times to same fighter and one in a very questionble manner. Fighter that has been champion in his career many times. Fighter that Tadashi is confident would also beat you. These losses are hardly a testament to your skills being better than mine, but a testament to Malenko-san's skills.

Yes you have won a few fights, Allen-san. But the matter still remains, I have defeated you. I set a plan, I followed it. Flawlessly. It was better than yours. I celebrated while you slept.
You jump on the bandwagon to criticize fighters like Sykes, Delgado and Dux for not owning up to losses, yet you do not practice what you preach. Where Tadashi comes from that is known as hypocrisy.

Hypocrisy is not an honorable trait. And there is much honor in my heart, for I am Tadashi-

SUPER FIGHTER #1!!!!

[Hideki Ominura]

It felt great to knock that guy out again. He is pathetic excuse for a fighter. And yes, it feels great to stay champion Kris.

Good job shawn. very impressive.

[Shawn Richter]

Sir Bort, let's just say that your display of judo ability inspired my performance.
And welcome back to the light, Dux. There's no need to apologize to me. You woke me up from this delusion I had and drove me to train harder, to be the best. Other than my teammates (of course), I should be thanking you. ;D

You mean it feels great to be a paper champ? When you beat Alarcon then you can come talk to me about who is pathetic.
