HCL & KUMITE - the lighter side of MMA

[bjh909]

Hey everyone. I haven't posted in a while, including in one of my older threads (The FIFA Project), but I wanted to share a fun and cool project I've been working on that seems perfect for this community.

Since 2012, I've been using the UFC Undisputed 3 game for the 360 to make my own simulated parody MMA shows, under the title HCL (Human Cockfighting League, referring to the old derogatory term for MMA). All the fighters are made-up CAFs with absurd backstories, fights are simulated, and the shows are shown on a Hitbox streaming channel with live commentary as a satire of MMA.


HCL shows are once a month, and this Sunday is the next one, HCL 43: Decimate the Weak. Here's the hype video I made:


In 2014, I decided that while HCL was fun, it needed a rival. Enter KUMITE.

KUMITE is to HCL as PRIDE was to UFC. A Japanese competitor. The main difference here is that instead of championship titles, the promotion centers around 16-man tournaments, with the winner considered the champion (though the title is not defended). Again, it's complete satire, and PRIDE mode is super fun, so it makes for fun simulations.

Here are some links if you're interested:
http://hcl.wikia.com/ - A full-on Wikia page detailing all the fighters, shows, results, champions, etc.
https://www.youtube.com/user/HCLfights/playlists - Every fight from all shows since 2012 are on this YouTube page, organized by show in playlists.
http://hitbox.tv/irmstream - This is where we live stream. We also do pro wrestling and soccer, among other things on the channel, but here's where the live streams of the full shows is. HCL is typically Sunday nights, KUMITE Thursday nights.

So I hope there's some people who might find this sort of stuff funny, interesting, and worth checking out or spreading the word. Thanks!
