MMA System: I Will Be Pound For Pound Goat

The day had finally arrived.

The Ireland MMA team had been in England for a few days now, settling into the city that would host the tournament's first stage.

The country had a charm to it, with its blend of modern and historic architecture, cobblestone streets, and vibrant atmosphere.

But for Damon, the beauty of England was secondary to the task at hand.

The tournament's format was clear. Every few days, a new set of matches would take place, covering all weight classes.

Fighters would compete based on the schedule drawn by the organizers.

For the Ireland team, it was a mix of anticipation and tension.

The management team had done their best to keep things professional, but the cracks were evident to anyone paying attention.

Damon, however, kept his focus. He'd been through a tournament before, but this one felt different.

There was a lot of excitement in the air because the show was about to start. Fans from all over the world were very excited and couldn't wait for the first match of the competition.

But before the first fight could begin, a shocking announcement came from the Irish MMA team.

Ireland had officially forfeited the lightweight division.

The news spread like wildfire, sending shockwaves through the MMA community.

Commentators and analysts scrambled to make sense of it, while fans took to social media to voice their surprise and frustration.

For many, this meant the United States lightweight would automatically move to the next stage without throwing a single punch.

But for those paying attention, this wasn't exactly unexpected.

From the moment the Irish team arrived in England, it was obvious something was amiss.

Only two fighters, Damon Cross and Demaien Ncguygan, had made the trip.

Collin NcGyver, the supposed pride of Irish MMA and their lightweight representative, was nowhere to be seen.

Speculation turned into confirmation. Collin had abandoned the team, leaving Ireland to face the embarrassment of forfeiting a division in the most prestigious MMA tournament ever held.

The decision from the management team made it clear they had no backup plan for Collin's absence, further fueling criticism from fans and pundits alike.

For Ireland, the lightweight forfeit was a bitter pill to swallow.

But for the remaining fighters, it was a stark reminder that they now carried the weight of the nation entirely on their shoulders.

Damon and Demaien had no choice but to press forward, knowing the spotlight, and the pressure , was now solely on them.

Irish MMA fans wasted no time unleashing their fury on Collin NcGyver.

Social media exploded with a tidal wave of anger, insults, and outright disdain aimed at the fighter who had once been hailed as the pride of Irish MMA.

"Collin NcGyver? More like Collin NoShow! Absolute disgrace to the country!" one Chirper post read, racking up thousands of likes in minutes.

"Spent more time on his bleedin' hair than he did training. And now look, an embarrassment to Ireland!" another chimed in.

Memes flooded the internet, depicting Collin as a coward hiding in the shadows or photoshopping him into tourist attractions with captions like, "Collin's real training camp: sightseeing."

One particularly brutal video clip circulated, showing his knockout loss in the qualifiers with the caption: 'The ONLY contribution Collin made to this tournament.'

Fans even dug up old interviews where Collin had arrogantly declared himself "the king of Irish MMA" and spliced them with clips of Damon Cross dominating his fights, labeling Damon as "the true king."

The insults weren't just online. Irish sports shows and podcasts roasted Collin relentlessly. A well-known Irish pundit called him "the most overrated fighter this country has ever seen," adding, "He's gone from being the pride of Ireland to the shame of it."

Some fans even speculated that Collin's disappearance was an attempt to avoid the humiliation of another loss. "He knew he couldn't handle the pressure. Ran away like a coward," one fan posted.

The comments became increasingly venomous:

"A complete fraud. Damon Cross is what a real Irish fighter looks like."

"NcGyver's career is as dead as his fight spirit."

"Collin's legacy: letting his country down. Hope he enjoys being a punchline for the rest of his life."

As the insults poured in, the general consensus became clear: Ireland had moved on.

Collin NcGyver was no longer the pride of Irish MMA, he was its greatest disappointment.

With only two fighters representing Ireland in the tournament, the pressure was immense.

The entire nation's reputation in the MMA world rested on their shoulders.

Fans were divided, some believed Damon Cross could carry Ireland's hopes, while others feared that a complete shutout would solidify the embarrassment of Collin NcGyver's abandonment.

The stakes were high.

If Ireland lost all their matches, it wouldn't just be a disappointment; it would be a stain on the country's MMA legacy.

Discussions raged across social media and sports networks, with commentators debating whether Damon and Demaien could deliver under the weight of expectations.

But as night fell, the spotlight shifted from speculation to action.

The stage was set, and the tournament was ready to begin.

The arena buzzed with energy as fans from around the world poured in, draped in their national flags, chanting for their fighters.

Lights danced across the massive venue, the octagon at its center glowing under the spotlights.

The crowd roared as the announcer stepped into the cage, hyping up the start of the tournament.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the World MMA Tournament!" the announcer's voice boomed, echoed by cheers so loud they shook the rafters.

The fighters from all the participating countries were introduced, each stepping into the arena as their nation's flag appeared on the giant screens.

Damon and Demaien walked out together, Ireland's flag draped over Damon's shoulders.

While Damon remained composed, his eyes scanning the crowd, Demaien's nerves were evident in the way he shifted his weight from foot to foot.

The commentators didn't miss the opportunity to highlight Ireland's struggles.

"And here come the two fighters representing Ireland, Damon Cross and Demaien Ncguygan. A lot of pressure on these two after the shocking news of Ireland forfeiting the lightweight division," one said.

"Absolutely," the other replied. "Damon Cross is undoubtedly Ireland's best hope, but let's not forget, Demaien's got a lot to prove tonight. It's going to be a tough road for both of them."

The opening ceremony was electric, with fighters from powerhouse nations like the U.S., Brazil, and Russia receiving thunderous applause.
