http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/25/25w10.jpg "Beep Beep" Richie McCaw (154281) 19-13-0 Recently signing to TTFC in New York, Theodore Boston fighter, Richie McCaw has put together back to back victories against former champion Kearney McGarrity and former title challenger Dean Anderson. Impressed by the Dublin natives techniques, TTFC Owner, Mike Thomas, announced today that on 2014-06-28, Lester Cockenschtuff will be putting his title on the line against the TTFC newcomber McCaw. Reports from members of The Cave Fighting Team gym in Hilo are claiming that Richie is excited for the fight and plans to train the hardest he ever has for the biggest fight of his career. Although denying an interview from a popular MMA media source, McCaw's manager was not shy to share his thoughts on the bout. Theodore Boston: Lester is a tough opponent no doubt, his back to back losses in no way make this figh any easier for us. We want his belt but he wants his p4p ranking back so it's hard to tell at this point who this fight means more to. Richie is full of tricks, he can stand and trade or he can take you down and pound you. Pulling guard and looking for submissions is also a possibility. We will just have to review the tapes and see what we think will be best. Win or lose I'm nothing but proud but winning is without a doubt the goal here. You do not want to miss this fight! Thanks for your time..

I think Shaggy from Scooby Doo is the most accurate comparison to Comte ever.

Hey everyone, we're here with the Hostility: 170lb. Creation Tournament Champion "The Trucker" Hendo Riggs. We have an some questions to ask him about his performance in the tournament and what he thinks about his future moving forward. http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/manager_avatars/1395185536Untitled.png http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/13952601315479.jpg Calvin Hobbes: "Hey Hendo, thanks for joining us. First off congratulations on winning the tournament and becoming our first 170lb champion and going down in our HOF, you gotta be feeling great right now?" Hendo Riggs: "Thank you, and yes i'm feeling excellent, I haven't slept since my win and my belt is my new spouse" Calvin Hobbes: "Haha, awesome.. and kind of weird. But hey, you're the champ, you can do whatever you want! You had a huge wrestling background and surprised everybody by destroying them in the clinch and then switched it up in the final fight. Was this your plan all along? " Hendo Riggs: "I kind of treat each fight differently, Tiburco was a great opponent, i know i will see him again, I saw his past fights and saw he was accurate in the standup and a great grappler so I wanted to put him at a disadvantage." Calvin Hobbes: "Well, you and your manager seem to have a great fight IQ, especially for tournaments. You kind of answered my next question, was Tiburcio your biggest challenge?" Hendo Riggs: "Certainly, going in I felt like i wasnt going to be able to get the finish, he's an excellent fighter and i learned what I need to work on to maintain my belt. If the fans and management allow it, i'm going to take a week vacation and get back to the gym for a while before my next fight." Calvin Hobbes: "Yea he's a tough dude, was never able to finish his fights though! All the fans were pretty confident in you winning and I don't think they'll have any problem with you taking a break. Tiburcio is set to fight Sub Zero next for 2nd place. Having been the one to beat both of these guys, who do you think is going to secure 2nd?" Hendo Riggs: "Wow, what a tough one. Tiburcio is impressive but if he gets taken down, I think sub zero would certainly finish him off. So if I had to put 2 grand down on a guy at hostility's bookmakers,it would go to Sub Zero's cause, but I wont bet... this fight is worth spoilers!" Calvin Hobbes: "Yea both of those guys have put on some really great fights. We're almost out of time but I hope you enjoy your vacation and get back to training soon. You got some hungry 170lbers that wanna steal your belt. Anything you'd like to say to your family, friends or fans?" Hendo Riggs: "Just stay tuned, I promise to be better next time inside the octagon." Calvin Hobbes: "Sounds good, we appreciate your time and we hope to see you again soon Mr. Riggs."

Had that battle happened in any other season I probably wouldn't have thought twice about it, but this season has been so good that I think I just went into plot development withdrawals. After we had talked about it, it makes sense that they tied up most of the loose ends by episode 8 so that The Wall and Tyrion can be center stage for the finale. I also get that if there is another big battle, like Blackwater, you have to do it justice and do it big. In hindsight is is nice to also have an episode where they just stab each other once in a while, but I would be lying if I said I didn't finish the episode a little unsatisfied ***Insert joke about a tycooner and women***. With that being said, it was still better than pretty much any episode of any other show...

In the books it is an epic battle, and as such, it needs a whole episode to detail it all. I personally enjoyed the episode, and thought that the time was spent well. Next weeks episode will be fantastic as well

Right - cause licking pre-cum is much worse than being showered in piss... Nope that's exactly what I meant to say - if you don't like it, put me on ignore, run off to a mod and tell him I'm using vulgar words or just shut the fuck up and move on.. Oh the 1000s of kiddies that play this game might read those words??? Well we better cut out fuck, shit, asshole, piss and every other vulgar word that gets used on these forums, because of course a game forum of such minuscule size is the only place where kiddies learn such disgusting things... You've done the world a favour today Steel - I shall nominate you for a Nobel prize for keeping the interweb a safe place for children....

When you click the box beside vacate title you would get the following popup To make the contract looks less cluttered you can move the warning text to the pop up to confirm vacating the title Now fighters can vacate a belt without harming the org(If they are above 100 hype). A fighter wouldnt have to feel obligated to stay in the org because he holds a title. Maybe a fighter just wants to up the competition but also leave the org he is champion at on good terms.

I also offer sponsorships with Championship Clothing. For most it;s a very small amount of money but always give 20% off discount and chuck a couple of items in free. I think a neat Idea could always be "advertisement for sponsorship offers". So for example a page where fighters can look for available sponsors and apply to them if they fit the conditions. So if they apply to the restrictions, such as Hype, Pop, Age, Skill, ranking (p4p) then they can see the sponsorship available for them and apply. So somebody with no hype, yet to fight and is 18 could see I'm currently offering (this is just an example not what I actually offer, PM me if interested or just want to fill a spot) $500, 20% discount, 122 days and 2 free t-shirts. I then see they are interested and I just click confirm, then BOOM! Fighter A is sponsored by Championship Clothing and get the perks.

In the meantime, try these companies for sponsorships, I doubt they will ignore you: Kaiser Sparta Fightwear

good luck to you too -- im hoping this tourney spikes my interest again

Evil Hilo Monthly Newsletter #1 Hey folks, Calvin here. First of all I’d like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping me create this amazing org. Without you guys it would just be bright lights and empty cages. I hope you guys will be happy to know that we’re going to have a newsletter at least once a month. I know it’s not much but it is kind of rough finding quality writing and running the org on my own is keeping me quite busy! If, and once I’m able to, I’ll try to get these newsletters out more frequently. We have a lot of exciting things that we’re getting ready to kick off and create more opportunities for our fighters to make a name for themselves as well as opening doors for new fighters. Title fights are coming soon and things are really started to heat up in these divisions. Okay well I have quite a few things to talk about, so let’s get started. New Event Partner First up, i’m not sure if anybody noticed but we lost our previous event partner and I’m not really sure what happened, our contract expired and we haven’t been able to get a hold of the owner. Anyhow, we have a longer contract with a more established company. Paul Rhaods and his crew over at Cyclone Nutrition Company in Amsterdam have been amazing and are very supportive of our cause. They’re offering sponsorships to all fighters in need, so go ahead and get in touch with them if you need anything. You can find them here and be sure to thank them for all of their support http://mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/1348415981cyclones.jpg Creation Tournament Next up a topic which definitely deserves more coverage, the 170lb. Creation Tournament. The Semi Finals are approaching and look to be very exciting. There’s three fighters left, fighting for their cash prizes, the welterweight belt and 90 days of VIP time for their manager! Our remaining fighters, in no particular order are: Hendo Riggs, Sub Zero and Andres Tiburcio. Riggs and Zero will be throwing it down tomorrow as well as Tiburcio participating in a “filler” fight. The winner of Riggs VS. Zero will fight Tiburcio for first place on June 4th. The loser of those two fights will fight each other to determine second and third place. We’ll be holding interviews for those three finalists once the tournament is over, and maybe after this next fight if we can find the time. Speaking of which, we’re going to start doing more interviews in all the divisions once the title fights start rolling in. If any of our fighters have something to say or just want to the world to know about them outside of the cage, go ahead and sent interview requests to my personal assistant and we’ll start sending out a journalist to meet up with you guys. Org Rankings Another thing to look forward to is the monthly rankings. On the 1st of every month we’ll be releasing the rankings list for the top ten fighters in every division so you can see where everyone stands and what the competition looks like. This will be posted on our official forum thread which has been neglected like a red headed stepchild. Openweight Grappling Division & Tournament Hmm, what else… OH! Right, so after this 170lb. tournament is over we’re going to be holding an open weight, no-gi, unrestricted grappling tournament. This tournament should bring in new fighters, help us bring in some more hype, new fans and create something unique here in the Tycoon World. I haven’t set a date yet but details will be released once the tournament is over. Better Contracts! Last but definitely not least, and maybe your guys’ favorite part of this. We have more much cash on hand than we expected and will be offering better contracts once you all are approaching the end of your current one. Those of you who are deciding to stick with us are appreciated and will be paid well. Obviously the more exciting you are and fans you bring in, the more we’ll offer you. Keep that in mind with your post-fight interviews and the energy and excitement you guys bring to your fights. Well, I think I covered just about everything that I’m ready to release so far, I hope you guys are as excited as I am for the things going on here. Evil Hilo has been going better than I expected and I owe it all to you guys, so if you need anything feel free to get a hold of me and I’ll see what I can do to make you guys happy. Thanks for reading and see you guys tomorrow for a preview of the semi-finals! -Calvin

All anti-gun people need is a slap of reality and then they'd understand the circumstances. Nexus types far too coherently to be BrainSmasher, he's used words that BrainSmasher couldn't even say, but the more he types the more transparent it is that he's swinging from JBJ's nuts.. similar to how BrainSmasher cradled Tank Abbott's balls.

The adding of taxed, manager to manager, transfers was the making it legal part. The current system requires player interaction however, which something that mike has done a fantastic job of maintaining by not implementing things like this. You need a loan? You had better know somebody. Need money moved around? You're gonna need a second party for that too.

I agree, after reading the story I don't think he did anything wrong. It also sounds like treatment was scheduled to be done before fight time but the random drug tests caught trace amounts. Anybody who knows about how drug testing works knows that different lab methods can detect substances to different degrees. If the commission changed the rules and that rule change required him to take different drugs, it seems like he was pretty much fucked. If you combine people's dislike of Chael with their "everything is a steroid and bad" mentality then you are going to get a lot of opinions like the ones above.

intell is low on the hierarchy, so he if intell shows he has less then a solid chin and doesn't have power high enough to read on ToTT or doesn't have strength and punches high enough yet to show KO power The Hierarchy has nothing to do with actual hidden value, meaning if solid chin is higher on the hierarchy then intell then the lowest solid chin will cover the highest IQ every time. Example say solid chin is 130 or better and intell shows at 130 or better, a 130 chin will show solid over a 150 intell hidden. That being said, he could have a 129 chin (based off what I said above for values to make them show on ToTT) and could also have all hiddens above intell just 1 point under what it takes for them to show. Thus only his intell shows cause it's the hidden that is high enough to show skill wise and is the highest one that has enough points in that hidden to show.

Yes, in fact, there is such a thing of "degrees of losing" in sports that are judged; that is the entire point of fights being judged. Someone who loses by split decision by showing great skill is judged to have performed better than someone who loses by TKO less than a minute into the first round. This is real life, not Mortal Kombat or Mike Tyson's Punch Out. There is no ladder system where Gus falls down to #10 and has to fight his way through Soda Popinski, Dan Henderson and whomever to get a rematch with Jon Jones. He gets a rematch because he had an awesome fight with Jones, put Jones in the hospital and was promised a rematch by Jon Jones himself in September 2013.

I agree with Dana. You can never touch a ref. He deserves to be cut. He doesn't deserve a lifetime ban like Paul Daley, though. If he can pick up a few wins while keeping his nose clean in smaller events, he should be brought back.

Hi, I´m Turolla from Brzil and i got a brand new GYM in London!!! Real Fighter GYM Como and see... only $250

Ah yes, the magnificent kiwi race.

What's the scout meant to do? Just look for fighters available to sponsor (you can do that through search) or actually send out sponsorship offers?

Damn, so the only thing Diaz won was the thrown stat. I knew Ross landed more, but i did not expect it to be almost double.

ahhhh ok i guess its ok for you to use racial stereotypes..just no one else can i insult your family and insult an entire country, thats some badass one ups-manship haha

The first HFC event is in the books and if you are a fan of quick finishes then this event was for you. Three fights lasted less than 30 seconds and only four fights made it past the three minute mark. Before I get into the action I want to inform you all that at the end of this review I will tell you the winners of the bonuses. Let’s get started. Cross vs Perruzi: This was a very odd fight to me. Early on it appeared that Cross was not sure exactly what he wanted to do as he went from clinch to takedown and then standing back up. Eventually his mind appeared made up and he went to the clinch and proceeded to dominate the fight. Perruzi also baffled me a little in this fight. While not being know for his wrestling he continuously tried, and failed, to take the fight to the ground. Perhaps he thought it was where he matched up best. In the end the only thing that did not confuse me about this fight was the way it was scored with Cross winning all cards 30:27. It is hard to tell exactly what is next for either of these fighters but with 145 being very thin at the moment Cross has put himself in a good spot to make a claim for the winner of next weeks title fight. Trzcinski vs Bowman: Not a lot to write about this one as Trzcinski came out aggressive and never even let the bjj fighter have a chance to take the fight to the ground. It only took 17 seconds for this one to be stopped and Trzcinski certainly made some people take notice. A fight against Skarstad seems to make a lot of sense for Trzcinski after this one and we will see if he has a quick turnaround after suffering no damage. Boy vs Obelix: First let me give huge credit to Obelix for managing to make it to the third round in this fight. This wasn’t the fight Boy wanted but since his original opponent wanted nothing to do with him Obelix stepped up. In the end though, Boy was way too much for him to handle. Boy’s skills were on display everywhere in this fight. Obelix was rocked early in the fight but was able to recover. Unfortunately he was never able to mount any kind of offense. Boy finished the fight in the third with a nasty looking superman punch that turned the lights out on Obelix. Boy looked good, very good, and will no doubt see top competition in his next fight, if not a title fight. Churchill vs Barun: This fight was certainly far more competitive than anything else on the card up to this point. Churchill was clearly the better range striker as he picked Barun apart and nearly finished him in the first. After that, however, Barun started to find success when he went to the clinch. The problem was that Barun did not feel content to stay in the clinch where he had the advantage. Barun also did a good job scoring on leg kicks. In the end both fighters showed some skills and Churchill looks as if he can strike with the best. Churchill may find himself on the short list for a title fight with this win. Tugbajev vs Orlov: Not a lot to report here. Tugbajev got it to the ground and dominated from there. Orlov had no chance at offense in this fight so what he can do will remain a mystery for another time and Tugbajev will likely see a title fight very soon. Sunday vs Sanchez: Well it was no mystery what each fighter wanted to accomplish in this fight. Sunday tried to keep it standing and Sanchez wanted to be on the mat. Sunday fended off all of Sanchez's attempts in the first but Sanchez managed to get him to the ground in the second. This led us to the third in a clear 29:29 situation. It ended up being Sunday who managed to have his way in the third and with a weak 135 lb division Sunday now finds himself near the top. Skalny vs Jackman: This fight was fast and action packed. Jackman looked to be in trouble right out of the gate when Skalny landed a combo that left Jackman cut. Not losing his composure Jackman scored a takedown and went to work with ground and pound. A huge hammer fist left Skalny out and Jackman with a huge win. Frederiksen vs Force: This fight ended in the blink of an eye. Force came out and tried to score the takedown. After a failed attempt Frederiksen caught him with the only punch he truely needed to throw in the fight as Force went down and after a few more shots that were not really needed the ref jumped in. Frederiksen did not need much energy to win this fight so it will be interesting to see if he enters the cage again very soon. Eastwood vs Noro: With the 205 title being decided in the fight that would follow both fighters may have been looking to get noticed in this fight. Eastwood did just that. Noro had a moment of success in the clinch but after his corner called for him to release it Eastwood never looked back. Dodging everything Noro threw Eastwood rocked him before finishing with a big right cross. Eastwood put his name in title contention with this impressive performance. Stromberg vs Vidal: We knew that Stromberg would need a miracle to get past Vidal but he did not help his cause with the early takedown. Once on the ground Vidal was immediately able to lock in a triangle and put the first HFC title around his waist. It is hard to see who will be Vidal's next opponent but early indications would be Eastwood if he is up for it.

I hate jon jones because he is jon jones!

Great stuff like always!

this sat douglas vs creed. awesome

You like Jay Mohr? You keep becoming more of a cool dude man... They both failed the test... why not just let them fight each other? Even better, throw Vitor in it and have a royal rumble

I think you and Mentor should fight to the death in a cage. Granted it would take 2 weeks before the fight was over, most likely after one of you died from exhaustion or starvation.

I concur with this. the mma world is changing so it is either they adapt or leave the sport if they cannnot live without trt.

Anyway, nice write up mate, good to see some more people doing these things

Cottonfloss Reflects #1 Hello NGF fans and mma enthusiasts. Lots of exciting action has occurred here at NGF since that dude no one ever heard of…oh wait, that’s me…arrived as new owner of NGF on May 16. We know I have had to do some work so as to be sure to build a rapport with the wonderful managers that steer their fighters to NGF, but let’s reflect a little on what has been going on in the cage in St. Petersburg. NGF 139 saw Khalid Hayes, who in March after beating Bobby Lee Daniels called out for Styles, overcome Renato and come out of this dominating decision victory wanting a shot at Scotty Bennet. Hayes next fight is not BLD, Styles, or Bennet. While BLD waits to exact revenge on Hayes in the expected rematch for the belt, Hayes will be featured in the top LHW fight not part of the Olympics going to Synchronicity to face Light Diode. Hayes, who recently proved that “even gods can bleed,” will be looking to prove that even Diode can lose. Shavo Odin avenged a March 8th title loss to Kalashnikov securing the belt, only to ride off to new challenges due to the brief period of uncertainty regarding NGF’s future. Meanwhile, Retale’s 29:28 decision win completed his ascension to being offered a title fight against a big name foe he has previously defeated: Andrzej Gajewski. Anthony Brown secured himself a shot to reclaim heavyweight belt he once possessed by opening up a cut on Tobias Larsson that forced the doctor to stop their fight NGF 140 fight. Torhammer continued his smooth transition to lightweight with a unanimous decision victory over Martin Louis. Jay Jay Mutumbo secured his third straight decision victory and defending the belt he just earned on April 26th. Johnny Fantastic has fared extremely well since arriving at NGF and continued his dominance with a NGF 141 welterweight title fight win over Linkin Portier. Portier, however, still has not been knocked out in any fight under contract with an org. A Bobby Lee Daniels hungry for a title rematch with Hayes, was able to secure a fourth round TKO victory over Tiyaro Feitsora. Perhaps not so quietly considering who his manager is, Daken Akihiro continued to climb up the ranks with a TKO of Tyson Blaze. As was the case with NGF 141, NGF 142 featured four submission victories. The main event and co-main event had KazanSamboCenter rocking as both featured KO wins. In the main event, although he was cut early in the first round, Bjorn Helgi secured the KO 11 seconds into the third round. Miguel Camacho ended his two fight losing streak with a TKO of Tommy Victorio that helped lead to Victorio and his manager parting ways. In NGF 143, Eric Lynch decided not to go to decision earning his first KO victory, a TKO secured on the ground in the second round, since October 5, 2013. King Kenny got his fourth win in his past five fights by quickly capitalizing on worsening the cut in the second round that he initially opened on Alekseev in the first round. With just seconds left in the first round, Vieri took the belt away from Quintana with an impressive show of ground strikes. Vieri has already confirmed a title defense against Henrik Torhammer coming up at NGF 148 on July 4th. The upcoming NGF 144 and NGF 145 will be ventures into the land of PPV. NGF 144 has its own complete preview with questions pertaining to each fight that make up this card in a perhaps ambitious attempt to see Wombley Arena in London rocking. That’s it for me. If you don’t got the money to travel, enjoy NGF 144 on pay-per-view. Rogelio Cottonfloss

100% counter 100% Takedown

tried to search for this anybody alliance -- i didn't notice them who are they?

Speaking of boring...

Typical American, needs a war so starts one, then after a few unexpected casualties can't quite remember or explain why they are at war in the first place. The Scholars and Corporation have been at each other's throats for months, there is a festering under current of Man-love, err hate! Numerous insults have been exchanged and now it's on. given how popular you Convicted boys are, being such a humble group of young men, I sincerely doubt anyone would have reason to make war with you. though I would give the CBK a call, Active Cereal Bar has a war room, it's basically him typing seriously scary words in between times when his mom doesn't know he has switched the parent controls off on his laptop. So if you Alpha male killers want a war, look no further than these clowns. Alternatively, in keeping with your American military doctrine you could just beat the shit out of each other and call your card , under Friendly Fire.

So your forum award legitimizes you? Comical at best. The rest if your pansy ass alliance are as bad as him for signing with his crooked multi funded alliance. Dirty money and dirty friends makes you just as dirty as the original corporate prostitute that oppressed the masses of tycoon with crooked business practices. I'm surprised at some of the people I see in your group. Thought at least some semblance of self respect left in some names see there. Guess not. Standing next to peen is impossible. His dark shadow overshadows you all so I address him directly. Go ahead and get his ass out of hiding for me l, will ya? Anyway, let the excuses flow. Fight or flight? I can already tell you are a bunch of runners. Like a marathon in here already.

Take heart Lockdown. You are p4p one of the top whiners and complainers. You are also top 5 in terms of anti-semitism.

best question in the thread!

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/13888673691327418898attack1c.png LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE ON THE LINE AT AFL 33! The Can (10-1), AFL's longest reigning lightweight champion will be entering the cage on Friday night looking to defend his title against "The Nigerian Nightmare" Kenneth Omeruo (8-1). Both fighters have been making a name for themselves on this season of The Island, The Can's only loss is against #2 p4p ranked fighter Dominic Berzins (8-0) who currently has a flawless MMA record while Kenneth Omeruo's only loss was against Billy Hill (7-5), a fight which he was controlling until he got submitted in the second round. Since then, Billy Hill has faded into obscurity losing 3 fights in a row. The Can is one of the most dangerous men in the Lightweight division on The Island. Nearly every single one of his fights he has finished his opponent by KO/TKO and so he has the power in his hands to get a quick win. According to statistics, he hasn't been taken down once in his entire MMA career to date. A remarkable stat which is surely one of the reasons why he has been so successful. He faced Dominic Berzins in his last fight and was cut open, knocked down and rocked all within the first round, which leaves a lot of MMA fans across the world wondering just how good is The Can's chin is. The fighter who will most likely provide us with the answer to that is the man they call "The Nigerian Nightmare" Kenneth Omeruo. Not much is known about this guy before he arrived on The Island for Season 2 roughly 6 months ago but what we know now is that this guy can fight! Kenneth hasn't been one to finish his fights, with only 2 of his 8 wins being finishes, however that doesn't mean his fights aren't entertaining. He's usually coming out getting in the face of opponents, putting them under pressure with a range of strikes. His biggest threat is his kicks. A lot of his past opponents have learnt the hard way just how lethal they can be, as they've been seen limping out of the cage after fighting him, usually with a purple swollen leg due to the damage from Kenneth's kicks. Don't let his record fool you, the guy has power and you just have to watch his last two fights where he rocked both of his opponents. I guess we are all wondering just how strong Kenneth's chin is as well, he's never been rocked before although he has been cut open in the past. Perhaps The Can will be the man to really test Kenneth's chin or maybe The Can will spend the night instead chasing shadows. All I know is that this main event fight at AFL 33 will be one that no MMA fan in the world will want to miss because if they do, there's a good chance they're going to miss something special. http://i.imgur.com/EhDF7Fu.png Fight Commentary *** Spoilers below this post ***

http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/13890303632114.png Kenneth Omeruo 26 year old 155lbs 8-1 "Counting down the days to my title fight with The Can. I've been wanting this fight for a long time, The Can is someone I respect as a fighter, he's had a lot of success during his time on The Island, much like myself. The fans have been calling for this fight since the days where I was the undefeated Chaos Lightweight champion and when he was the undefeated AFL Lightweight champion. I hope this will be a fight the fans will remember for years to come!"

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/1363340514Logo01.jpg Syn' 303: Contenders – Preview Live on PPV and at the LA Memorial Colossuseum (capacity: 93,607), LA, California There may not be any title fights on this Synchronicity card but with the quality and calibre of fighters involved you don’t really need one as Synchronicity offers you 10 quality match-ups to get your mouth watering and Championship Press Association shall cover each one in this report sponsored by Championship Clothing. Christian Nolan (23-19) vs Gigant "Big" Silva (22-13) These two men may seem to be a rare bread after the last Syn Pay-Per-View (Syn’302) – in which 9 bouts went to a decision – as they both like to look for a finish no matter the opponent. Nolan has taken 19 finishes, only winning 6 fights by decision, while Silva is very similar and looks to finish his opponent on the ground or feet with 17 finishes, 12 (T)KO’s and 5 Submissions. In their last 8 fights combined, only once has a fight needed the judges’ scorecards and that speaks volumes at this level of competition about the mind set of these competitors. The other thing these two men share in common is firstly an ambition to one day go on to challenge the Heavyweight champion – currently Brick Tires – but also that neither one can maintain a winning streak long enough to impress the match-makers and management of Synchronicity. While neither man has been in poor form, it’s just been a big case of win one lose one for both of these men and they will both be hoping to make a win Saturday night, against the other, part of something bigger. Silva goes into this one as a big underdog and will need all of his determination and heart to get through and make a name for himself, while Nolan will be looking to finish on his feet and out strike the grappler Silva. "Gambler" Bad Idea (27-12-1) vs "mēpisukaryā" Itagaki Fukuzawa (17-4-0) When you talk about two fighters who style and game plan going into most fights is polar opposite, you have to talk about what is likely to be of this match-up between the Georgian Idea and Japan’s Fukuzawa. “Gambler” is just that, a risk taker, who has seen 26 of his fights go to a decision, often fighting for a decision once a fight reaches the 3rd (or 5th during his glory days of being UPG champion). On the other hand you have Fukuzawa who looks to finish where possible, and finish he does in style. Taking 14 wins by (T)KO he is a real powerhouse and take his opponents head off, in his last fight, with Chauncy Silvestre, he finished the fight with a mere 15 seconds left on the clock to the uproar of the Synchronicity fans. Itagaki Fukuzawa does not like leaving a fight in the hands of anybody but himself and that makes him very dangerous to any opponent, and possibly even more so to one like Bad Idea, who likes to control a fight. Idea has the advantage on the ground and may look to capitalize there and take control while holding his opponent but with Fukuzawa in the cage anything could happen if the fight is left standing. The fans are excited to see this one and if Fukuzawa can make it three straight undefeated since his arrival here in Syn! Daniel "Ravishing" Roth (24-11-2) vs "Thor" Eiji Kawashima (31-8) Making his second appearance follow his title fight on his debut in Syn is the “Ravishing” Roth, who will be looking to impress and make a name after a successful stint in – the now defuct – BFE (Brazilian Fight Entertainment). “Thor” on the other hand makes his debut tonight and will look to prove he should be in contention for freshly won title of Yang Tao. Whoever is gunning for the belt that takes a win off this fight may have to go through former champion Sergiy Skylar though as he’ll want to be next in line with a rematch for a belt he feels he should never have lost. There aren’t many fighters more well-rounded out their than Eiji Kawashima but if anybody can stop this man that dominated UPGV at 170lbs, it is the arrogant yet so very charismatic and entertaining, Daniel Roth. Hopefully this fight will be as interesting and as entertaining as Roth’s entrances to the cage but that remains to be seen. One thing to mention is that Roth is the only man out the two to take a submission victory and “Thor” has only ever lost by submission, so could that be the finish we’ll see Saturday night? "MR. NAUGHTY BOY" Mickey McFinnigan (21-11) vs Charles "Grenade" Gunn (25-14-1) Another cross Atlantic war between a Brit, Mickey McFinnigan, and a yank, Charles Gunn. Despite coming from very different places these men are incredibly similar, they’ll both be making their debut in Syn this Saturday, they both have fought at the top level in other top orgs already and both men love to put on a show, collecting 20 “Of The Night” awards between them (McFinnigan with 11, Gunn with 9). These men also love to finish and this is what the fans will be hoping to see Saturday night. One question is over the ground game of Gunn, who is renowned for not having a very strong BJJ training regime but with that being said, he’s never been forced to tap but that could be more down to the fact he’s almost never been taken down. If McFinnigan was able to take Gunn down though, could this spell a world of pain and a first submission loss for the “Grenade”? The fans will hope not as they want to see these two great KO artists slog it out and go to war, for national (and personal) pride. Roderick "The Hammer" Jenkins (14-5) vs Jobe Nkemakolam (35-14) Jamaican Roderick Jenkins will be looking to continue his successful start to life in Synchronicity with a win over a Syn veteran in Jobe Nkemakolam. Nkemaklam will be competing in his 11th fight for the company and respect from “The Hammer” will be clear for a man who needs no nickname but the respect better not play on the mind of Jenkins to long in the cage as Jobe will take full advantage if it does. Both of these guys are on notable win streaks (more because of the level of competition than the amount) with each man looking for their 4th and 3rd respective victory on Saturday night but that’ll be easier said than done and one of these impressive streaks will have to come to an end when they meet in the cage. "The Justice" Mitch Heisenberg (35-13-1) vs Hamid Zaferani (27-17-2) A bout featuring a cardio machine and an explosive animal is what the fans of Syn will be treated too on PPV when “The Justice” Mitch Heisenberg meets Hamid Zaferani at Syn’303. Heisenberg comes into this one off the back of a loss to one of the best in the world in Matt Miller in a title fight for the featherweight title and will be looking to show his name should be around the discussion for that title sometime soon again after his jump from EVO. Zaferani was Sergiy Skylar’s last opponent at 145lbs before he made the jump to 170lbs after Zaferani went the distance with Skylar but was just edged out. This fight is an interesting one as Zaferani holds the edge on his feet but Heisenberg will benefit from the fight going to the ground. The only thing to bear in mind is that “The Justice” has won 21 of 25 decisions his fights have gone to, while Zaferani tends to fade away and has lost more decisions than he has won. Will the cardio of “The Justice” play a factor, Zaferani will certainly look to not allow it too! "Mjöllnir" Njord Freyr (25-11-0) vs "The Hulk" Autumn Hunter (24-9-1) Njord Freyr is a former top 10 p4p fighter in the world who once went on a 10 fight win streak, unfortunately for Freyr those days seems to be behind him now but he still possess a real threat to Autumn Hunter. Hunter is not quite as reputable globally as his opponent but definitely brings a lot to the table as the Syn favourite will look to really bring his A game when he faces his Norwegian born opponent. It is expected this fight will end in a bang with both men loving to finish the fight by (T)KO, between them they have gathered a staggering 39 (T)KO wins, which will leave the fans begging to see this become the 40th as these two heavyweights face off and look to move forward in their aging careers. Buddy "The Faustus" Guy (26-5) vs Mark Sutter (22-16) Compared to the last Syn card (Syn’302) we here at Championship Press Association really fancy the chances of a few finishes in Saturday night’s fights and this one should be one of them. Only 13 fights that these two guys have had out of a combined total of 67 have made it to the judges score card. One thing we may potentially see from Mark Sutter that we don’t see to regularly is a submission finish as he holds such a strong advantage if the fight goes to the ground, it may not be his natural habitat BUT Guy works on keeping the fight standing, not getting it back there, so it may be his best opportunity to grab a win. The fans will want an exciting fight and that’s one thing I will happily predict we should see in this one. "The Flash" Barry Allen (21-11) vs Keke "Hammer" Pummel (23-12) Even at 30 years of age “The Flash” Barry Allen still believes he is not only a great MMA fighter but also the quickest MMA fighter on the planet. He’ll be hoping to finish Pummel in a “Flash” before Keke can build on his momentum from his previous fight – his debut against Indica Jatlier – where he controlled the fight and took a great win. Both these men come off the back of victories into this one, with Allen also coming in having taken strong victory against Holden James. This is an evenly matched fight where either man could take the spoils but Allen is debatably the more popular fight and may have the added factor in his corner of 90,000 shouting fans. Rico "El Chupacabra" Dominguez (24-12-3) vs Chauncey "Nightcrow" Silvestre (31-17-1) If any fight on this card is likely to go the full three rounds and still be entertaining, with a shot at fight of the night, it’s this one. It’s El Chupacabra vs Nightcrow in a clash of featherweight cardio-kings, with both men coming in off the back of losses making this a real make or break fight. Silvestre’s career could’ve been so different if he could’ve just beaten one man, the beast known as Matt Miller. If Silvestre had taken any one of three opportunities to beat Miller he could be one of the biggest stars in the company but now he’s on the back foot facing a man who has never had the opportunity that “Nightcrow” did but Dominguez will be looking to show he does in the future. Synchronicity 303 – Contenders will look to bring you something different from the last Pay-Per-View from the company, as the 9 out of 10 fights that ended in decisions on the last card is highly unlikely to be repeated on this one, with a lot more aggressive guys on this card, who will look to finish on every opportunity. Reaper Combatwear will be sponsoring the event as always and will be providing all clothing and merchandise for the event as well as sponsoring the “Of The Night” awards for the evening which will be very hotly contested!

You two have a lot in common.

I'm fine with him fighting either. I think both would be great challengers. I just don't like his "it's my career I can pick my own fights" attitude. He took the title shot and won the belt, now take on any and all comers. If it was a matter of wanting more training time, money or something a bit more contractually related I would understand. But every time a fight with Gus gets thrown into the mix all of a sudden he's the UFC LHW match maker and believes everyone else is more deserving. His biased opinion shouldn't decide who deserves the shot.

Yeah, I'm sure it's not because of his hypocrisy, willingness to pick and choose who he thinks is deserving and his general douche bag attitude. Standing up to management is great when management is being unfair or wrong. In this case, management wants both fights to happen. It's not as if they're saying DC will never get a title shot or that Jon Jones isn't a great fighter. They're saying we have 2 contenders. If you're as confident as you act, take one fight, beat his ass and move on to the next. Saying everyone hates him because he's talented is laughable at best.

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/13888673691327418898attack1c.png KENNETH OMERUO WINS IN DEBUT FIGHT, GETS TITLE SHOT AGAINST THE CAN In the AFL 27 pre fight conference the owner of the organisation promised the winner of the main event that they would get a title shot against The Can, who is the current AFL Lightweight champion. The main event featured Kenneth Omeruo, who was making his debut as a AFL fighter against Ben Liften Jr. This is exactly what Kenneth Omeruo wanted a chance to pick up another title in his MMA career and it left him even more determined to get that win at AFL 27. However a fight against Ben Liften Jr was never going to be an easy task. Ben Liften Jr had a great start to the fight, dodging the majority of Kenneth's strikes and then controlled the fight, dragging Kenneth Omeruo into the clinch and then began to unload some powerful elbows. After taking a glancing elbow to the face, Kenneth Omeruo was cut open. Unfortunately, Kenneth couldn't find a way out of the clinch before round 1 ended. 10:9 on my scorecard Round 2 began and it looked like Ben Liften Jr was going to inflict more damage in the clinch when he got a hold of Kenneth shortly after round 2 started. Ben Liften Jr didn't get long to do damage in the clinch because Kenneth broke free after being stuck in the clinch for roughly 1 minute. with just over 3 and 1/2 minutes left, Kenneth started pushing forward putting Ben Liften Jr under pressure and connected with a couple of nice powerful kicks before the bell rang for the end of the round. 19:19 The final round started, and this was going to be the round that decided the fight. Determined to not let the title shot slip out of his hands, Kenneth Omeruo threw a powerful head kick which connected, dropping Ben Liften Jr to the ground, luckily he managed to get back to his feet before Kenneth could inflict some more damage via Ground N Pound but it was clear he was still rocked as he stumbled around the cage trying to avoid Kenneth's strikes. Ben Liften Jr while stumbling about the cage, grabbed a hold of Kenneth and instigated the clinch roughly 1min and 30 seconds into the round. He managed to control the fight and keep Kenneth there however didn't connect with any of the strikes he through as he missed all but 1 of his knees/ elbows while in the clinch. The bell went and the fight was over. 29:28 Omeruo It was a frustrating fight for Omeruo as he was unable to get out of the clinch on numerous occasions, however he did well in covering up and avoiding the strikes while stuck in the clinch. A solid round 2 and rocking Ben Liften Jr in the final round meant that he won the fight in my eyes. Following the fight, the owner of AFL confirmed the main event for AFL 33, a mouth watering fight between The Can (10-1) and Kenneth Omeruo (8-1). The super fight which numerous fans wanted earlier in the season is finally going to happen. Kenneth Omeruo (8-1) Ben Liften Jr (5-2) The Can (10-1)
