Streams of fanatical mixed martial arts devotees were seen circling the Hard Knocks arena in beautiful Tokyo, Japan on the day tickets were made available for the world wide phenomenon that is the Tycoon MMA Championships. Each fan desperately hoped that they would be the one who was bestowed a golden ticket so they could see the lightweight battle of seven organisations for themselves. The event, once again sponsored by the fine people of Big Bear Amsterdam 160Q, has even caught the imagination of the general public. They have vocally demanded more access to these exotic fighters invading Japan’s biggest organisation. Coping with such hysteria will be one of the biggest challenges that each competitor faces. Blocking out such nuisances could well be the key to winning at UNFC 44: TMC LW Round 1. The first pair to face off will be Wrestling Guy (9-2-0), who represents the Ultimate Fighting Federation out of sun-kissed Rio de Janeiro, and Los Angeles based Ashton Eaton (9-4-0) who symbolises the best of the Insanity organisation. Consensus of opinion would indicate that this will be a highly tactical fight. Guy may have suffered the first slump of his career, but many are speculating that his involvement in the tournament has been the root cause of this. Clearly a cerebral fighter, the Antiguan will have been analysing how to lock on his destructive clinch to the shutdown defence of Eaton. How successful he is in achieving this goal will define how far he progresses in the tournament. There certainly appears to be more options open to Eaton. Although he is known for his exceptional ground game, the Polish-American has shown an increasing presence on his feet. Even though it is rather an opaque estimation to compare fighters without common rivals, most would be confident in saying that Eaton has the advantage whenever the two are not hot and heavy against a fence. One big hope for Guy is the general belief that Eaton has been less progressive in putting opponents to the sword in recent outings, as he has instituted a more conservative game plan. Against someone as explosive as Guy, this could be a recipe for disaster. No doubt Insanity’s representatives will be imploring their man to find a finish whenever the opportunity presents itself. “Last” Sam Urai (8-3-1) must have had mixed emotions leaving behind London based organisation Troid to feature in this tournament. The Japanese native gets the joy of fighting in his home nation for the first time having never fought in his country of birth before. However he leaves behind the chance at an instant championship rematch after drawing an epic battle with, now former Troid champion, Timothy Robinson. Triod’s tournament pick must now put any questions of ‘what if’ to the back of his mind as he faces the walking piece of granite known as AMS Fighting Championship hopeful “Mexican Wolverine” Chad Didion (10-3-0). Unlike his rival, this might be the perfect time for the Dutch-based fighter to enter the TMC. The “Mexican Wolverine” is currently in a difficult position of being a former champion, who has multiple qualified contenders ranked ahead of him for the AMS belt. Proving his mettle on the world stage, and scoring valuable points for his company, is a wonderful chance for him to jump the queue and position himself for another run. Of course, this plan only works if Didion makes a splash. Judging who will be the victor of this battle would seem to be a coin flip decision. They both prefer to stand and bang but neither is devoid of ground skills either. Perhaps the biggest difference will be the additional length that Urai has over his opponent. Being able to get off first could be the difference in a fight that is bound to go down to the wire. The evening’s final tournament fight, which will also serve at UNFC 44’s main event, will be the hotly anticipated encounter between Russian organisation SFC’s three weight champion Charlie “Augustus” Lim (18-1-1) and the ultra popular New York Fight Nights wonder boy “The Greatest Of All Time” Quentin DeBramalo (6-2-0). There are so many subplots to this fight. Both men are loudly touted by their organisation’s as the best young prospect at lightweight in the world. Clearly one of these over-exuberant claims will bite the dust after this one is over. Each fighter also has the unwanted pressure of representing a superpower. Fortunately each man’s persona rather represents their patron country, as Lim is a somber unrelenting fighter who’s determination to fulfil his destiny is both humbling and scary. While DeBramalo is an outlandish performer who electrifies crowds even if he does sometime care to much about putting on a show rather than finishing his opponent ruthlessly. This clash of styles adds to the unerring impression that these two men don’t like each other personally, which has given the contest an additional edge. Surprisingly, the betting odds have heavily skewed in the favour of Lim despite both fighter’s excellent reputation. Perhaps the accumulative championship experience is attracting the good will of the general public or maybe the subtle questioning of DeBramalo’s immaturity has turned sour in some people’s eyes. Whatever the reason, this is one of the few occasions where following the punters money is not necessarily a great representation of how close the fight will be. So will win this battle? Who knows. Although there is a significant chance that the final decision will be in the hands of the Japanese judges at ringside. The only prediction that can be certain is that both men will go away from the ordeal as better fighters going forward. The tournaments seventh member, UNFC’s own Hector “Macho” Camacho (14-1-0) will also be an interesting side show as he scouts his future opponents. How the king of Unleash reacts to these other great lightweights performing in his cage will be a highlight film on its own.

Do you have a cream for this?

http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/14066613448574.jpg "The Misfit" Nathan Young 4-1-0 Back on form now with another win. Frankie Vercini, you were one hell of an opponent, and I thought we put on a grappling masterclass of how to defend yourself. I would love to have another fight with you someday where we can get a definitive winner! Now onto the future, and I wanna take on this Dupraz Herve fella. I heard he has some good Muay Thai and Wrestling, and I feel it could be a good change of pace for myself to train for something different in the cage! I saw my friend Barry win as well, so it will be a double celebration after Community Service! http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/14122513041610.gif Simon "Barry" Bellamy 4-1-0 That was a good fight Nich DiMag, although I did expect you to cause me more problems than just a few body shots before I sunk the takedown. That is my 3rd choke victory, and I look forward to more in the future. For my next potential opponent, I would love to take on anyone else on the division. The opponent matters not to me. Whether it is competing with the striking of Manuel La Bor, or facing another grappler like Fernando Diaz, I feel like I can win any fight.

lol, tycoon assistant should be for everybody. Companies should be for everybody, 10 fighters should be for everybody, oh wait lets just let Mike make no money at all

Axe ummm, Doyle ? ......... Doyle ??? *thump, thump, thump* "is this thing on ? Doyle ? Gosh I hope he didnt knock himself out with that last one, lmao Does this put me in the running for Post- season Sh!t-talker.

Axe how about demonstrating what you would would look like in the "feared" "why are you hittin' yourself", "why are you hittin yourself" ? /emotes: Has REALLY lost it now,..and is nearly at a full drool in laughter

Axe Wishes he had a video of you demonstrating this, its hilarious. I havent seen a standing choke yet,..so I picture you, for reality sake, you laying on the ground while doing this. LMAO "how was that again" Bwahahahaha !!

http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/5/5w3.jpg "For someone who is a shit trash talker,You mean Business,But lets see if your skills can do the same,But im 99.9% sure it wont,Because *Wraps arm around neck and acts like he's being choked to death*Lets see if you can even manage to land a single punch."

Axe MeatsFleash : /emotes a shiver. Um you are pretty confident , for someone who is SO buried under BETTER talent. /chuckle OOC: I am just playin' /shrug but Axe is crazy

Axe MeatsFleash Hahahaha ! its like I have a remote control,...wanna see your snooze button !!

http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/5/5w3.jpg Doyle Hawk "One trick pony?YOU Are calling me a one trick pony?Psh,Bitch please,at least i have some skill unlike you,You know you've won 100% when you have made your opponent shout "I GIVE UP!"At you.Unlike loading punches like a rabid pitbull which they have no control over when they succumb to it.Oh Boy,I Can already hear your shouts of pain and furious taps on the octagon.Heheh,Get ready You meaty bitch,Come so i can snap your neck mummy's boy."

Axe MeatsFleash : oh, yeah, I will tap easy. *he tries to say with a straight face* and then I punch you in the face and then you are a purple-belt. and again and again, and again. One trick poney-boy.

The happy medium is to leave a balanced fight defence plan for those who wish to op out of using them, the same way a new build fight would be like and for those who wish to use them, they can use them in their current capacity. It means that those who do not wish to use it, never have to and don't get a bonus or a negative. Those who wish to use it can either get a positive or a negative for using it.

USFC 19 http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1424923845142492291356520.jpg Ferenz Balas (6-0-1) defeats Charles Bolton (4-1) by TKO (Strikes) R3 0:32 In a spectacular fight that many felt should have won Fight Of The Night, Ferenz Balas stopped Charles Bolton early in the third round with a big straight left hand followed by a barrage of unanswered strikes! Bolton put the pressure on Balas, throwing hard shots to the body, but Balas seemed comfortable to counter, landing jabs and solid body shots of his own. Bolton missed with wild shots while Balas controlled the pace. As the final round began, Balas nailed Bolton with a hard punch to the chin. Balas connected again, then with a left, setting up the final left that dropped Bolton. It was a methodical performance as Balas remained calm under constant pressure, picking his shots in the process. Balas finds himself at the top of a cluttered welterweight division in which a dominant champion has yet to emerge. Bolton does not drop far after a great effort and still finds himself in the title picture. Look for these two to meet again down the line, possibly with USFC gold at stake! Chang Pi (4-1) defeats Eddie Alstot (3-2) by TKO (Strikes) R2 1:37 The co-main event had plenty of action as Pi and Alstot began to exchange from the very start. Alstot looked good early and even surprised Pi by landing a head/body combination, then again to the body before connecting upstairs to the temple! Alstot moved into the clinch where Pi went to work, landing at will from in close. Pi was taking control until Alstot scored a late takedown and began to advance position. The horn couldn't come quick enough for Pi who looked to be in a bit of trouble from on his back. The second opened with Pi landing good shots on Alstot who took the fight back into the clinch. Pi went to town, unloading with punches from the inside. Alstot was game, but the volume of strikes wobbled him allowing Pi to create enough space to land a monster uppercut! Alstot's eyes rolled back into his head as he went down and Pi finished the job with another flurry. Pi looks to test himself against another tough opponent while Alstot looks to finalize a fight with top contender Diamond Dollar and climb right back into the division's elite with another high profile fight. Bas Koning (4-0) defeats Kenneth Keats (4-4) by Decision (Unanimous) Bas Koning completely dominated former title challenger Kenneth Keats, winning every round 30:26 on all three judges cards. Koning moved into the clinch where he unloaded knee after knee to Keats' head and body. As Koning mixed an occasional elbow into the mass volume of knees, Keats could do little more than prove he can take a fine beating! Keats did manage to lift Koning off the mat and score a takedown late in the second, but the round came to a close just afterwards. Koning closed out the fight just as he began it, landing knees from inside the clinch. Bas looks to be a true contender while Keats' looks to heal up and improve his clinch game before his next outing. Sam Slapper (3-2) defeats Mugsy Keller (4-3) by TKO (Strikes) R2 0:09* Sam Slapper stops Mugsy Keller in a dramatic Fight Of The Night Performance! Keller immediately went to work in the clinch, landing punches to ribs then breaking and connecting with hard leg shots. Slapper continued forward, landing his own punches, but Mugsy appeared to be on a mission! Keller repeatedly landed hard body shots, short inside punches, followed by leg kicks that buckled Slapper's knee! Slapper took it all and managed to get a clinch himself, where he connected to the body. Keller continued to land, but Slapper began to control the pace, picking his shots as he slowed Keller down. As the two traded in the clinch, Mugsy continued to land, but Slapper appeared to be picking up his pace, throwing knees and punches. Keller broke the clinch and looked to score with a combination. Slapper dodged and countered with the jab before unloading a massive high kick to Keller's dome! Keller looked rocked, but the bell sounded before Slapper could move in. Keller came out in the second on wobbly legs and Slapper unloaded an uppercut that sent Keller down! The ref was forced to jump in and save Keller from more punishment as Slapper celebrated the biggest win of his career! Ka\'Ra LeVass (2-1) defeats Sly Stallone (6-9) by TKO (Strikes) R2 0:05 Ka\'Ra LeVass finishes Sly Stallone to open the main card. Stallone scored and early takedown and LeVass immediately reversed position and unleashed the ground and pound! Knees to the body, punches, and nasty elbows overwhelmed Stallone and rocked him as the opening round cames to a close. LeVass opened the second with a hard shot to Stallone's jaw! As Stallone backed up against the cage, Le Vass followed and beat him down to his knees, and then all the way down, before the ref jumped in for the rescue! LeVass looked impressive in a dominant performance while Stallone appeared overwhelmed. Look for LeVass to move up the main card in his next fight while Stallone does some soul searching before deciding his next move Michael Schwahn (3-1) defeats Matthew Campion (2-2) by TKO (Strikes) R2 3:19 Michael Schwahn took Campion down early and chopped away at the head and body while Campion looked to control Schwahn's onslaught. Campion survived the round but was taken to the mat again to begin the second. Schwahn remained relentless with his strikes and landed and elbow from half guard that hurt Campion! Schawhn let go with hammerfists that rocked Campion before delivering the elbow that put him in la-la land! It was a one-sided fight in which Schwahn's ground and pound looked terrific and Campion's jit looked nonexistent. We'll see what both fighters do in their next battles. Cliff Anderson (3-5) defeats Bruce Patterson (3-5) by TKO (Strikes) R1 2:19 After losing five straight, including his first two in the USFC, Cliff Anderson has found his groove and scored his second straight victory by way of knockout! Patterson looked to work his clinch game and score the the takedown, but Anderson was ready and stepped into Patterson with big shots! Anderson darted in and out with quick strikes before Patterson could counter. Patterson looked winded early and Anderson moved into the clinch where he overpowered his opponent while punishing him to the body. A jab rocked the fatigued Patterson who threw a desperate wild hook. Anderson ducked the blow and launched an uppercut that crumpled Patterson before raising his hands in the walk away victory! Cliff Anderson looks to be the most improved fighter in the organisation while the usually durable Patterson suffers his second straight loss by knockout. Terry Torres (3-4) defeats Punka Tuka (3-3) by Decision (Unanimous) R3 5:00 Terry Torres and Punka Tuka go the distance in a battle of position. Tuka opened by checking a leg kick from Torres and from there it was a clinch/takedown battle. Although the two exchanged with the clinch, it was Torres who proved able to score the takedown. On the ground, Torres was more active with his sub attempts before the ref stand ups and secured the first two rounds on points. Puka became more active in the final round that was filled with the clinch, takedowns, reversals, and stand ups. Puka picked up a point on one judge's card for his late efforts, but Torres was clearly the better wrestler in this one. Sven Jergensen (2-2) defeats Conner Britian (7-11) by TKO (Strikes) R2 2:48 Sven Jergensen calls for a title shot after stopping veteran Conner Britain by way of ground and pound. Jergensen clinched, then scored the takedown where Britian spent the round trying to survive the onslaught. Jergensen scored an immediate takedown to begin the second and moved into full mount! Jergensen rained down strikes including a devastating elbow that forced the referee to dive in! I don't know if it was enough for the title shot yet, but it was enough to get noticed and pick up some fans! Another big fight awaits this rising talent! Cu Chulainn (2-3) defeats Cletus Kasady (1-6) by TKO (Strikes) R1 0:49* Cu Chulainn picks up the Knockout Of The Night Performance in brutal fashion over spiraling Cletus Kasady. Kasady was unable to score the early takedown and Chulainn used momentum to score a beautiful trip into side control! Kasady defended the ground and pound at first, but 40 seconds into the fight Chulainn stunned Kasady with a nasty elbow that found its way through! Chulainn scored with another big shot from side control, then another, and then another! Kasady was done as the ref stepped in to stop the beating! It was a violent ending that set the pace for an evening of nasty finishes! Congratulations to all of the winners! What a card! Eight knockouts is just the appetizer as the USFC serves up the main course Friday with USFC 20 and dessert on Saturday with USFC 21! Don't miss any of the action as a new welterweight champion will be crowned tomorrow night when TJ Dilashaw and Tobias Tattsyrup square off for the vacant title! In the main event, the fighter we all have been waiting to see again, undefeated light heavyweight champion Divock Origi faces his toughest challenge when he defends against Jarmo Keskitalo! I can't wait for that one! If two championships aren't enough, then come on back Saturday as Neymar Junior defends the 145lb belt against Subotai Hyrkanian, undefeated Kelvin Parker challenges for Santi Santoro's lightweight title, and heavyweight champion Corey Parker faces Soa Palelei in the biggest heavyweight match up in USFC history!

There are so many subplots to this fight. Both men are loudly touted by their organisation’s as the best young prospect at lightweight in the world.

The only prediction that can be certain is that both men will go away from the ordeal as better fighters going forward. The tournaments seventh member, UNFC’s own Hector “Macho” Camacho (14-1-0) will also be an interesting side show as he scouts his future opponents. How the king of Unleash reacts to these other great lightweights performing in his cage will be a highlight film on its own. Outside the confines of the TMC tournament, there is a significant contest in the heavyweight division where “Fearless” Frank Nicolosi (12-5-0) sets his sights on revenge against Vidar Nord (10-3-0). These two first met at UNFC 30. Nord surprised Nicolosi with a number of unexpected takedowns that went completely against the Brooklyn native’s usual tactics. This completely threw “Fearless” and lead to him gifting his rival two easy rounds. The finish late in the third was yet another present as the now desperate Nicolosi attempted to claw back some respect, only to leave himself open to a massive overhand right. Embarrassed by his own performance, Nicolosi redoubled his efforts and has been rewarded with back-to-back first round wins. While Nord fell short against the champion, he also bounced back with aplomb. Now the Italian has the chance of redemption that will clear his mind of his worst performance. The stumbling block being whether he can actually defend those lightening fast double legs even with preparation. Nicolosi better hope he can otherwise this could fight could have a real sense of deja vu about it. Other prominent rematch happens at 170. Adrian McMullan (10-6-0) completely froze against Frank “Bruiser” Brody (10-7-1) and was quickly dispatch by the confident striker in their first fight. Once again, the wrestler will try and pick a way threw his ever-improving opponents prominent striking to land an all-important takedown. If McMullan succeeds in his quest, then he will surely have a great chance of avenging his loss. Otherwise he will have need to find a remarkable improvement in his striking game to stand a chance. Although, only a fool would completely discount someone as a lucky punch change a fight in an instant, the chances of Brody falling foul of such an incident is remote. Plenty of recognisable faces will be performing on the undercard. Former championship contender Antoni Kristofer Hong (6-2-0) makes his long awaited return to the UNFC cage against Billy “Backwater” Bulge (8-2-0). American, Bulge, was highly impressive in dominating Jorge Domingo in his UNFC debut but must realise that Hong will be a distinctly stiffer test. Also, the ever-present Dominik “The Crusher” Kokoszka (6-2-0) welcomes a new face to the organisation in former Hostility and RPG submission artist Kevin “The Skillz” Wibowo (7-2-0). More than a few lightweight contenders will be keeping an eye on this one as the rumours are that Wibowo is an exceptional grappler, even for a black belt. Even the three cards that open the night will hold interest to many of the UNFC’s core fans. Odell Paquette (4-2-1) looks like he’ll emerge as the next contender at featherweight but needs a dominant win over Peter Smith (8-4-0) to confirm this perception. An old school striker vs. grappler contest will be sure to capture the imagination when James “Sully” McGuinness (10-9-1) battles Albert Hoffman (5-3-0). Finally, the card will begin with two relative unknowns in Liquid Gold (2-1-0) and Dixie “Dang” Small (1-0-0), who both make their debuts. This is a great opportunity for both young upstarts as they have been given the perfect chance to capture instant fame if they impress the international crowd. What a proud night this will be for Unleash and it’s owner. He, alongside the other owners, have worked hard extraordinarily hard to get this tournament organised and this should be a joyous occasion for all who end up with the W.

Ahh! ... That's why I see all of these boxers as I drive down the streets of New York with their signs "Will Fight For Food". After a couple of losses during a creation tournament their management team gives them the boot lol. I will have a pure fighting organization nobody will pay to fight. The fighters will get paid to fight and put on a good show. May the best fighter win and the loser to fight again another day. If sponsors want to donate it is more then welcomed, which would increase the base pay and win bonus that's even better. But a small venue fight event or a big arena fight event will be a good show if Pro Era is involved.

Thanks for fixing this Mike and for all that you do. Glad I stumbled on this site awhile back. I still have a lot to learn.

Welcome to the RL Studio's pre-fight coverage of SPFT 224 LIGHTWEIGHT Tournament, and Middleweight title event! Hula's Arena in Hilo is expected to be packed to the gills for this one. Let's take a look at our match ups. 145lb Enrique Molito v Julian Reis We'll start with our lone featherweight bout between Molito and Reis. This is a match up of two men with something to prove. Molito is coming off a draw and a loss in his last two fights, marring his previous record of 24-2-0. Reis has lost four of his last five. If Reis tries to stand and bang, I'm betting he gets knocked out. If he can get it to the ground? Well, Molito's blue belt doesn't look so good next to Julian's black. 155 Domino Kennedy (6-2) v Boros Monet (6-5) Boros chose to fight up a weight class to get the shot at this tournament. Will it pay off? He's had an impressive run lately, winning 3 of his last 4, including a KO. He can make a good showing on his feet, but on the ground? Three losses by submission. Domino is on a hot streak, and looks to come into the fight with some momentum. 155 Pale Monster (11-5) v Ben King (3-4) A pair of BJJ brown belts face off, looking to gain momentum! Monster finally broke a 4 match losing streak in SPFT 220, casting aside doubt that he could still compete. King is 8 years his junior, and with a recent win, hopes to break .500 in his MMA career. With better hands, and more experience, Monster is the favorite to bring this one home. 155 James Miller (4-0) v Conor Nelson (4-1) James comes to the Steel Pen after an impressive 4-0 start to his career with the WarZone. He's finished more than one opponent with his feet, and has few holes in his game. Coner has been getting his experience with the QFC, preferring a brawling boxing approach to fighting. The QFC is a far cry from SPFT, though, and I expect he'll get a rude welcome to big-boy MMA. 155 Hugh Jasshole (4-0) v Deanthony Wagner (6-3) After a three-match saga with Phil Tinker, Hugh finds himself 4-0 at the SPFT. He likes Muay Thai and the ground game. Deanthony is on a 4 match win streak as well, and matches up very evenly. Will Hugh be able to adjust to fighting someone other than Phil Tinker? Will Wagner give him his first loss? We'll have to watch and see. 155 Andy Burns (5-7) v Puna Wai (5-5) The recent past of both of these fighters has been brutal. They have suffered heavy losses, and their futures are in doubt. What better match up for the first round of the tournament? This may be our most evenly matched bout of the evening. Be ready for a scrappy battle of wills. 205 Brutus Nash (13-7) v Yuya Inoue (26-14) Now we move up to a pair of Light Heavyweight matches. At 33 years of age, and 3-3 for his last six, Brutus needs a win tonight. He can dominate at every area of the game, but needs to get out of his own head. Thirty-nine year old Yuya actually seems to be getting better with age! He's 5-1 for his last six matches, and desperately want to reach the 30 win mark. Very even matchup, but I'm leaning towards the experience of Inoue for this one. 205 Arvo Laar (17-15) v DonT Bill (10-9) Recent arrival from Dominance, the second half of Laar's career has been much better than the first. He's 8-2 for his last ten matches, and has become a dangerous outside fighter. Bill, another warrior just over .500, is a mad wrestler, and a perfect example of the excitement that comes from alternating styles of fighting. Laar will want to stay outside, Bill will want to grapple. Throw the dice, but my odds go with Arvo. 185 Rocky Scalante (25-18) v Red Redyan (8-9) We drop back down to middleweight now, and take a look at Rocky Scalante. Age 42, with one win in his last nine fights. One. Is it time for him to hang it up? He faces ground fighter Red Redyan in this one, who also is on a string of losses. It's fights like this though, that can end up being some of the most fun to watch. Neither man has anything to lose! 185 TITLE MATCH John Mayhem (29-11) v Vlad Kersikov (20-6) This brings us to our coverage of the title match of the evening! Both of these fighters can do it all. Mayhem is trying to defend his belt for the second time, and Kersikov is coming over from Dominance with a straight shot at the title! Both fighters have a granite chin, and a lot of experience. Word on the street is that Kersikov has been more successful against stiffer competition. We'll see soon enough!

Great preview Martel must die!

Isnt that how babies are made?

Pull back on the stick to go up, push forward to go down.

I stand before you, now a USFC fighter. My first fight here shall be next month, against a worthy opponent in Jason Voorheez. I have much respect for my opposition, but I am sorry friend, it shall be you that loses come fight night. Hello to you Diamond too, I see you are causing quite the stir here. I am pleased to inform you all that I am a man of much fewer words than my stable mate, but a man of just as much action, indeed. Thank you all for your attention, I shall now leave to eat my fish soup, and watch The Godfather trilogy. Farewell."

I thought WC would have went higher since you guys were like 22 before and nearly hit 300. 18's still solid all the same. We went from 25 here.

World Combat: The Big Bang Preview and Predictions http://oi57.tinypic.com/ivx3z4.jpg The World Combat Championships has found the perfect, high-octane card to say goodbye to the Island, as they present, World Combat: The Big Bang. Hard Knocks - The Island will be the place on Friday where 3000 screaming fans will witness twenty ranked fighters enter the octagon to settle business for the last time on the Island. The card features two title fights, for the Middleweight and Superheavyweight crowns as "Prince" Shoddy Body and Bily Tinkl along with Matt "Fondelier" Porcelain Punisher and Skunk Asap are set to duke it out for WCC supremacy! Shtaaf Reimish here to preview one last Island event, so let's get 'em going! #2 Ali "The Headhunter" Roumani (6-2) vs #6 Reem Khalid (5-2) Featherweight First up at The Big Bang WCC brings two featherweight contenders aiming their sights on a future title fight, its Ali "The Headhunter" Roumani vs Reem Khalid! Roumani's run for a title opportunity took a massive hit two week's ago at WC 13, where he fell via decision to Rufus Lockheart. The native of Azerbaijan was on a five-fight win streak entering that one, and a win away from a title fight. It will be interesting to see how he responds to adversity for the first time in a while, as he will surely look for the takedown and submission finish using his brown BJJ belt. Khalid enters this bout after winning his return to featherweight against Gashimov at Gut Check after struggling as a lightweight. The Palestinian also has a brown BJJ belt, but also has a TKO win to his name, so we'll have to see where he takes the fight if given the opportunity. When the dust settles, I've got Roumani picking up a submission victory, putting him back on track for a title shot. #7 Griegorij Dudkov (9-4) vs #11 Yaazi Qysan (4-3) Bantamweight Next up on deck is a bantamweight bout scheduled between Griegorij Dudkov (9-4) vs #11 Yaazi Qysan who are both looking to find consistency in their careers! Dudkov is a former UXC and WCC bantamweight champion, before he recently fought a two-fight stint as a featherweight. He now turns his focus back to his natural bantamweight, looking to regain his former championship form that saw him win the title back at WC 2 and KO Benny Bishop in his last trip to the octagon back at Tsunami. The Russian loves to set up the KO punch, so if Qysan wants any chance at victory, he'll have to be careful at all times. Qysan struggled to find consistency while in the UXC and Highland Games, but is coming off an impressive 'Fight of the Night' WCC debut victory over Randy Goatboy at SPS 1. While the Bahamian doesn't mind going the distance, he does have the natural KO power that will keep Dudkov honest throughout the fight. I've got Dudkov via KO. #7 Richard Riddick (8-5) vs #13 Ali Mouba (5-4) Heavyweight The third fight on tap is the first of five heavyweight bouts, featuring former AFL champ Richard Riddick taking on Ali Mouba! Riddick opened up his career as an unstoppable force in the AFL, winning his first seven pro bouts en route to the AFL heavyweight title. He changed employers and got a shot at the Highland Games title, but fell like everyone else has to Island P4P champ Barney Gumble. Since that fight, Riddick has never regained form, losing four straight. The Icelander comes to the WCC looking to get his career back on track with his vicious knuckles, and he's got a perfect opponent in Mouba to make that happen. Mouba also struggled while with Highland Games, but took a step in the right direction with a WCC debut decision win over Lenny McLean at 'Wad vs Gumble' last week. The Senegal native is a phenomenal wrestler, and has been working steadily lately on his boxing and Muay Thai to bring it up to par to compete with the elite of WCC's heavyweight division. I'll take Riddick via KO. #10 Adonai "Almighty" King (5-1) vs #15 Garcia Vega (7-2) Heavyweight More of the heavyweights division as two of the lurking contenders square off in Friday's octagon, its Adonai "Almighty" King vs Garcia Vega! King's fists have been more responsible for opening minute KOs in the WCC's heavyweight division than none other, and two weeks ago he went back to it rebounding from his first career loss with a victory over Bubba Jenkins at WC 13. The American has fought five times in the WCC since his debut back at WC 3, and all four of his victories have come via his boxing prowess. Vega also last fought at WC 13, his however was a WCC debut loss at the hands of Maki Pulu via submission. Before the WCC, the Dominican used his fists to help him to a 7-1 record while fighting in the QFC. Don’t expect too many takedown attempts in this one, as both guys should stand and throw. I have to go with King via KO. #1 Bobby Bob Bob (8-3) vs #9 Zyd Xyd (7-3) Bantamweight You know the card is stacked when a #1 ranked fighter is fighting on the preliminary card, but that’s just the case as the former bantamweight champ and current #1 Bobby Bob Bob gets set to take on the #9 ranked Zyd Xyd! Bob is making his first appearance inside the octagon after losing his WCC belt in his second title defense to BJ Arnold. The Bolivian first won the title from Nikolai Medvedev at WC 10 and successfully defended it over Darth Vadar at Tsunami, before losing it to Arnold last weekend at WC 14 via decision. Bob is still considered the #1 challenger, but will have to prove it before getting another crack at Arnold. Xyd had quite a successful run in the AFL, that even included a title fight, before signing over with the WCC. The Cameroon native won his WCC debut at Gut Check over Pat Sharp with a TKO midway through the final round. Xyd will look to clinch up the fight and use his dominant Muay Thai skills to wear down or even knock out his top-ranked opponent. Still, I've got Bob via decision. #7 "Iron" Mike Tyson (6-1) vs #4 San Terra (10-4) Heavyweight The main card begins with two phenomenal boxing heavyweights entering the octagon in what provides each fighter one more rung towards a title shot, its #4 "Iron" Mike Tyson vs #2 San Terra! Since losing the first ever WCC heavyweight title fight to former champ Dick Wad back at WC 2, Tyson has been on an absolute tear through the division, slowly and methodically climbing back up the rankings. With four straight first round (T)KOs including two 'KO of the Nights' Tyson is as feared a knock out artist as any in WCC's heavyweight division. Terra is the inaugural WCC superheavyweight champion dating all the way back to WC 1 before losing it in his second defense at WC 6. The Poland native was given a shot at former WCC heavyweight champ Dick Wad in his second fight as a heavyweight, but lost via TKO in the second round before losing his last fight via KO at the hands of Razor MuayThai. He's as hungry as ever to get back to the top, and a win here might impress JJ Tycooner enough to grant the boxer another shot at the title. I've got Terra breaking free from the two-fight skid and winning via KO. #1 Dick Wad (7-1) vs #5 Maki Pulu (11-4) Heavyweight The Big Bang kicks it up another notch as two top 5 heavyweights are sure to make a serious rumble inside Hard Knocks' octagon, its Dick Wad taking on Maki Pulu! Wad enters this after finally losing his first pro bout, and with it his WCC heavyweight title, in the much acclaimed Wad vs Gumble unification bout. Before that, the Canadian grew to fame using his solid Muay Thai skill set combined with a near-perfect takedown defense to seven straight victories. With the future of the heavyweight title in limbo with the closing of the Island season and WCC's impending move to New York, Wad will want to state his case to be given another crack at the title. Pulu has seen his heavyweight stock rise after an extended stay in the QFC and WCC debut loss to MPP as a superheavyweight. two straight 'Submission of the Night' awards in his most recent two fights have him at #3 in the ultra-competitive heavyweight division, and a win here could solidify him as the #1 challenger. The PNG native is as good a submission artist as there is in the WCC, and his amazing work ethic has him rounding the rest of his game quite nicely. I may be crazy here, but I think Pulu will take this one via submission. Middleweight Championship Title Fight © "Prince" Shoddy Body (10-3) vs #1 Billy Tinkl (9-3) Middleweight In the first of two title fights on the card, the World Combat Championships presents a bout for the Middleweight Championship Title between the Champion, "Prince" Shoddy Body and the #1 ranked Challenger, Billy Tinkl! Body seems to have finally found a home as a middleweight, after seeing his welterweight career go a little too much up and down. In his first ever middleweight bout, Body took the title from Lou Hole and then successfully defended it from Rashad Byers at Gut Check to set up this massive title bout with Tinkl. The American is an amazing wrestler, and seems to have a solid understanding on how to defend the stand-up game recently, so it will be interesting to see how this one pans out for the champ. Tinkl is also a converted welterweight, who is a former AFL welterweight champ. the native of Congo also prefers the ground submission battle, scoring all nine of his victories via submission including three 'submission of the night' bonuses. I don't expect this fight to stay standing long, but we'll have to see if either of them decides to take advantage of the other's stand-up weaknesses. Either way, I'll take the challenger, Tinkl, via submission. #3 Mib "Home Run" Louie (9-3) vs #2 Jimmie Craig (9-2) Heavyweight The co-main event of the evening brings together the last two of ten heavyweight fighters at the Big Bang together in what truly could be a 'big bang', its #3 Mib "Home Run" Louie taking on heavyweight's #2 Jimmie Craig! Louie is making his WCC debut here at The Big Bang, formerly fighting in Highland Games where he has seen inconsistency ruin another crack at Gumble's title. He did get once chance at the Island's P4P king, losing via a TKO halfway through round one in November. The Canadian is a wizard at Muay Thai but he may have trouble getting inside of the taller Craig. Craig enters this fight on a seven fight win streak as a light heavyweight, that includes his WCC title win over Ben Pulse at SPS 2 and successful defense over Razor MuayThai on Wednesday. Two days in between is way too short for most people, but Craig is not most people. The fellow Canadian is moving up a weight class to see if there's any chance he can become WCC's first ever two division champ. I may have over-boarded the Craig bandwagon, but I really think he'll take this fight via KO. Superheavyweight Championship Title Fight © Matt "Fondelier" Porcelain Punisher (14-0) vs #1 Skunk Asap (9-2) Superheavyweight And now, for the main event of the evening, the World Combat Championships in conjunction with Vikai Gear present a fight for the WCC Superheavyweight Championship Title featuring the Champion, Matt "Fondelier" Porcelain Punisher taking on the current superheavyweight #1, Skunk Asap! Punisher is currently the only 10+ win undefeated fighter remaining in the WCC, and he'll look to keep it that way, along with remove Tony Bullard from his perch atop the WCC P4P list. He's simply done everything right thus far in his career including winning the UXC, AFL and WCC belts, and successfully defending his WCC belt four times. There is simply no superheavyweight on the Island as good as MPP. The combination of the LA native's boxing abilities and takedown defense have given every fighter he's fought a loss, and he'll look to keep that rolling Friday against Asap. Asap was a highly regarded fighter in both the UXC and HG, but always came one win short of a title fight. The Djiboutian has Muay Thai skills that, especially as a big man, are tremendous, and also combined with solid takedown defense, have him hard to defeat. The challenge for Asap will be getting inside of MPP, where he might be able to do some damage. it may also be important to note that neither of these fighters have ever seen the championship rounds, so their endurance may be tested. I can't see if going that long, however, as my bet is on MPP ending this on with a KO and solidifying his spot among the Island greats! What a perfect card to end what has been a truly memorable Island season with the World Combat Championships. The Big Bang is a card no real Island MMA fan could dream of missing. Hard Knocks - The Island is the place to be this Friday night for what will be a night to remember in the WCC's history. Two title fights, twenty ranked fighters, one last evening! See you Friday!

Cheers mate. REALLY surprised the attendance was so low, but I guess that's just about money. We knocked the rating out of the park, and now Highland Games hits an all time high of 10th in the world.

Has there ever been a MMA finish that reads 'X wins via TKO (Broken Hip)'?

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1424730514Sample.png HIGHLAND GAMES 63 PREVIEW This is it guys. The last event of the season. I've loved absolutely every minute of this season and hope as many of you wish to continue with us as possible. Just so you guys know, the org is going to move to London after the tournament and will only be available to people over 25 years old and adhering the 257k ID restriction. Tonight, the goal is to break the Island's ratings record, currently held by Legendary Fighters Championship at 363.99. Tonight, Highland Games aims to break it, making history once again! Keijo Virtanen (7-1) Vs Pedro Lazaro (10-2) – Heavyweight Keijo has been submitting everyone for a while now, picking up three bonuses for doing so. He’s on a 3 fight winning streak in the organisation, and could well have been talked about to challenge for the title had the season not been reaching its close. There’s only one smudge on Virtanen’s record; to Pedro Lazaro. Keijo is absolutely determined to right that wrong before the season ends, and now the chance is his. Pedro was a typical decision fighter. He’d fight in the clinch, he’d avoid exchanges, and essentially he was an unimpressive fighter. None the less, a 6 fight win streak earned him the opportunity to challenge Barney Gumble for the title, which of course he was unsuccessful in. He bounced back by stopping two highly talented fighters, proving that he’s no longer the lacklustre fighter he once was. Now, once again on a solid streak, he had to make lightning strike twice over Keijo once again. Massimo Benvenuti (14-2) Vs Arnavut Sevket (7-2) – Middleweight Benvenuti is ACTUALLY on the second fight on the card. Are you kidding me? Massimo B is an absolutely incredible competitor. He is the only two time champion in Highland Games history with a win list which would actually be hard for me to complete by the time of the event. The huge upset loss to Grant Morrison has put the Italian in a foul mood, and now he is focused on unleashing his fury here tonight. Arnavut, The Bird Man, has been a solid addition to the Middleweight division for a decent amount of time. His 5 fight winning streak was halted by Massimo B over a 15 minute fight before, and since then he’s failed to put two together in a row. Arnavut has the ability to strike, wrestle and grapple, but none the less he has a lot to overcome here in this contest. Rodrigo Gracie (10-3) Vs Eirikur Adalsteinn (8-4) – Light Heavyweight It’s bizarre seeing names like these so low on the card, but it just goes to show how stacked tonight’s contests are. We have Rodrigo Gracie, grappling genius, final AFL 205 Champion and one time challenger in Highland Games. He’s been submitting opponents left right and centre, and since maturing as a competitor, his only losses are to Jake Theodorou and LightHeavy Weight, both as essentially as good as it gets in the Light Heavyweight division. Eirikur Adalsteinn, or GoldBeard as everyone prefers to refer to him, has a claim to fame in that he’s the only man to defeat LHW. This is quite unfair, because while this was an amazing accomplishment, Adalsteinn has been stopping some very talented competitors for quite some time. Talon Axel just suffered a superman KO loss from Adalsteinn, and he vows to end the season with yet another incredible knockout finish. Carl Sheppards (10-3) Vs Zoran Jolevi (9-1) – Lightweight Sheppards made most of his name in AFL, in which he had a reasonably spotty career. He had never put together more than a 2 fight winning streak in the promotion, losing in some reasonably unimpressive bouts. When he joined Highland Games, it was appearing as if he was going to be used as a gatekeeper within the division. How wrong could I be? He’s managed to stop all 4 of his opponents in the first round, 2 by TKO and 2 by submission, and has some tough opponents scattered through. If you had to pick an underdog for this season’s tournament, my bet would be this guy, but he has a very tough challenge ahead of him here tonight. Zoran really should be getting more column inches as a competitor. He’s defeated some very tough guys, challenged for the AFL title and shown that he’s an extremely diverse opponent for anyone to face. In his last fight, Zoran was able to submit Ryan Beltshazar in the very first round, which might be even more impressive when you consider that Ryan is now fighting for the World Combat Featherweight Title. Zoran wants to prove that his only loss, a decision against Gottlieb, was a fluke, and now he’s improved to become a very dangerous threat to the tournament’s names. Nelson Frazier Jr (8-3) Vs Clinton Offley (10-2) – Heavyweight Nelson is as good as it gets in non-title fights at 265. Stoppage wins over Mib Louie, Andrei Alexeyev, Ali Mouba, Christian Long and Mitchel Thompson don’t even tell the story of how dominant Nelson can be. His bread and butter is the clinch game, inside which he’s been able to absolutely destroy almost everyone he’s came up against. I know personally that he’s absolutely devastated about his two title fight losses to the Island’s greatest fighter Barney Gumble, and has considered retirement a few times now. A win here, followed by an impressive showing in the end of season tournament, could well be the revitalization his career desperately needs. Offley is a submission specialist, winning 9 by tapping opponents out. His only losses have been in his lone title fights, which really has to be a major source of discouragement for Offley considering that no one else has been able to match him. Wins over some very impressive competitors like Long, Louie, Nesquik and Barrett have really proven his abilities, but this might be his toughest non-title fight to date. Renato Laranja (10-2) Vs Neil Drake (10-4) – Bantamweight Laranja was at once stage touted as the most talented 135er on the planet. He had just defended his AFL Bantamweight title, and was the final UltimateXC Champion in the same weight class. Unfortunately, a loss to Darth Vader set him back, but his gaze towards the top was unbroken. He faced Neil Drake, his opponent tonight, in his next fight. It was a close fight, with Laranja taking the first and Drake taking the second. It was the final round which told the story however, and Renato managed to walk away with the victory in what was essentially a jiu jitsu bout. Since changing his management and joining Highland Games, Renato has proved to be as good as ever. A loss to the unbeaten kingpin Serge Ibaka set him back, but Renato Laranja can beat almost any fighter in the world. Drake is the only man in the world who has been able to hang with Laranja on the floor, which shows that he is just as capable as his opponent when it comes to grappling. ‘The Snake’ has won every one of his professional victories by way of submission, specialising in armlocks. He also has 4 submission of the night awards to his name, all taking place in Attack Fight League, of which Drake had 11 fights. In addition to his long list of impressive wins, Neil Drake finished AFL as their final Bantamweight Champion, arguably their best weight class, scoring a gigantic win over one of the best Bantamweights on The Island; Darth Vader. Derrick Jon (9-1) Vs George Moshington (7-0) – Lightweight Championship George Moshington came from absolutely nowhere. 3-0 when he joined HG, with his wins being over some mediocre fighters, he joined as a ‘prospect’. He submitted veteran Dick Castle in his debut, but even Dick isn’t really a competitor in the division. The key fight for Moshington was against Bhola Djin Djin. Bhola had established himself as a strong competitor in the division, with 4 straight in Highland Games and a potential title shot waiting around the corner for him. Moshington walked out there and spectacularly, needed just 21 seconds to stop his foe. No one say that coming, so although the anticipated Fight of the Night bonus never fit into the equation, George walked away with an effortless Knockout of the Night. He next took on JJ Lycka. JJ was a highly touted veteran, coming off of a decision victory over Word Combat Champion Mamad Mouba. Lycka was an experienced and talented competitor and it really showed in a 3 round war. Lycka had the ground game under control, but Moshington was scaring him with submission attacks the entire time. In the third round, George caught JJ, staggering him before finishing him on the round. Now, after an undefeated 7 fights, George Moshington faces the biggest challenge of his career. One unfortunate thing is that this will be Derrick Jon’s final Highland Games fight, that is unless he is still competing by the time he turns 25 years old. The 20 year old won’t pass the rules of the organisation, but that doesn’t stop him in this fight. None the less, Derrick Jon has been extremely impressive since joining Highland Games. After a brief back and forth rivalry with Mamad Mouba which saw him take the first loss of his career, Derrick bounced back by taking on KR AD and Jack Stick in Highland Games. It was then that the up and comer got his title changed to become a contender, as he challenged Gottlieb Hiebknecht for his new 155 belt. Contender? Nah, that’s not good enough, so Jon once again upped his status, dominated 5 rounds to become the brand new champion. This is the first defence of his title, and let’s hope that sometime in the future, he’ll be back to compete once again. Grant Morrison (12-3) Vs Massa Hurmaaja (11-2) – Middleweight Championship This is a rubber match for the ages. These two men are split at one a piece, and both have been Highland Games Middleweight Champion before. This might be the biggest 185 encounter we will ever see in Highland Games, and its right here on HG 63. Massa Hurmaaja might be the most talented fighter on The Island not holding a championship belt. Massa has done it all inside the cage. Early independent victories over Jace Phillips and Ben Pulse really set the standard, and in his 5th professional fight Massa took on Grant Morrison for Grant’s 185 Ultimate XC Championship. Despite a strong early showing, Hurmaaja was showing some bad wear and tear from a cut he suffered early, and the referee was forced to step in. Determined not to let this get the best of him, Massa tightened up his striking defence and got right back into action. A win over veteran scrapper Piotr Wyspianski in AFL set up his Highland Games debut. Massa was victorious in his first fight, securing the opportunity to rematch Grant Morrison for the number 1 contendership. This time, Massa managed to take the fight to the floor, slapping on a Triangle Choke in the very first round, winning the fight and tying the score. He would then defeat Massa Benvenuti for the title before dropping it in his next fight to Razor Muay Thai. A highly impressive 3 fight rebound has saw him dispose of the likes of Jonah Sorentino, Arnavut Sevket and Renato Gracie, and now he’s got back to this stage in one of the most epic encounters we’ll ever see. What a spectacular story and road it was been for the Scotsman Grant Morrison. He was the last reigning UltimateXC Champion and soon challenged for the title in HG against his longtime rival Massimo Benvenuti. For the second time, Benvenuti was able to easily stop Morrison by strikes. It was then that Morrison lost to Massa Hurmaaja, a man he’d previously defeated. Two rivalries were set up then and there, and it’s interesting to see how they have shaped through the months. Following his two straight losses and failure to capture HG gold, Morrison went on a rampage. Wins over Massimo Paterno, Jonah Sorentino, Rodrigo Rojas and Wirbel Schwein set him up for a third fight against Massimo Benvenuti. Essentially, it was not a fight I wanted to see. Morrison had already lost twice to Massimo B, easily, so the third fight was just a case of him being a legitimate contender against Massimo who had no options at the time. Man, was I wrong. Grant goes out there and actually knocks Massimo B out, capturing his dream of becoming the new Highland Games Champion. This should be an all-out war and no one can know who the favourite in this one will be. LightHeavy Weight (12-1) Vs Scott Mcginty (7-2) – Light Heavyweight Championship Highland Game’s most controversial figure, LHW steps in to defend his belt for an unbelievable 7th time, taking on a knockout specialist who’s been on a hell of a roll; Scott Mcginty. Despite losing his first fight to a guy I remember being impressed by in the early days of the promotion, Amir Rutten (whom was subsequently retired by LHW), Mcginty bounced back to knock out his next 4 opponents, all being Highland Games fighters. If there’s one thing Mcginty and his training partner James Helm have taught us, it’s that Jimmy Himen’s fighters know how to throw a punch, and Mcginty has done that time and time again. After the four fight streak, Mcginty would take on fellow striker Eirikur Adalsteinn, in what was expected to be a number one contender fight for Scott. Unfortunately, he came up short, being stopped in the second round. It was a harsh lesson for Mcginty about humility, one he has learned to perfection. Since then, Scott has earned himself 3 straight Knockout of the Night bonuses, spending just 1 minute 23 seconds in the cage, all he needed to stop Helio Gracie, Momo La Brute and Saintly Fish. This is no doubt Scott’s biggest test, and although it may be a puncher’s chance, those odds always sit well with this challenger. A man who has not been described as a challenger for several months is the polarizing LightHeavy Weight. On a stunning 9 fight winning streak, LHW has been in there and disposed of everyone he has been faced with. An early blemish to Adalsteinn has since been heavily washed away under a current of blood, emanating from the faces of his opponents. It’s no secret what LightHeavy Weight wants to do. He wants to tie up, put your back on the cage, and use his razor-like elbows to slice you opened and put you on the shelf for several weaks. Fighters like Rodrigo Gracie, Jake Theodorou, Eirikur Adalsteinn, Ludko Struja, Rice Aroni, Wo Fi and Joel Nicola have all fell at the hands, or elbows, of LightHeavy Weight. It’s really hard to see what an opponent can do to beat him. It’s been a long time since LHW clashed with a Jimmy Himen fighter, back at Highland Games 6 when he destroyed Timothy Segura in the very first round. LightHeavy Weight knows how to win fights and has his strategy fully locked down. It will be interesting to see if Scott Mcginty has an alternative gameplan for this fight, but the smart money is definitely being placed firmly on LHW’s head by all reputable bookmakers. Barney Gumble (14-0) Vs Mase Force (9-2) – Heavyweight Championship It’s Time! The Island’s greatest ever competitor, long time reigning Highland Games Heavyweight Champion, brand new World Combat Heavyweight Champion and certified finishing expert, Barney Gumble will defend his belt against a new challenger who has been knockout out opponents left right and centre in Highland Games, going on a 5 fight tear to earn this opportunity; Mase Force. Mase didn’t have the greatest start in HG. After a first career loss to Andrei Alexeyev in his last fight, he was defeated by 4-0 submission specialist Stefan Struve. Whenever someone loses their HG debut, especially when it wasn’t the biggest fight in the world, it’s easy to tune out of their abilities. Previous wins over Mitchel Thompson and Timi Timi were blocked out by the losses and Force went unnoticed. He rebounded by wins over fairly solid fighters Dimentio Boychello and Sailele Lealofi, but his first huge test since being defeated came in the form of Chiyono Fuji. While Fuji has a succeptibility to cuts, he’s a straight up killer with his striking and Force went out there, tore it up with him, and won the fight due to cuts in the second round, both men picking up Fight of the Night for their efforts. With only big fights ahead of him, Mase Force stopped two really tough opponents in Amine Nesquik and Benny Askren to put himself in this position. Force is an excellent striker with some really impressive wrestling as well. It would seem that he has a strong weakness to submissions, but unless Barney Gumble does something we’ve never even dreamt of him doing, I really can’t see that being a factor in this fight. Based on the styles, I believe Force could be the toughest test to the belt yet. And now, we will look at the champion. The Island’s greatest competitor to this point has been synonymous with one man; General Tso. Tso went 10-0 before joining the end of season tournament, walking home with the honours and retiring at 16-0. During his run, he also won 6 title fights. Now compare this to Barney Gumble. 14-0 before the tournament with the potential to go 21-0 when it’s all said and done. A staggering 10 title fights and two separate 265 titles, I think it’s safe to say that if Barney Gumble goes unblemished, he will be decidedly the greatest Island fighter there ever was, and probably ever will be. Do I even need to run through his list of opponents again? Diamond Andy, Thor Heyerdahl, Mib Louie, Richard Riddick, Andrei Alexeyev, Pedro Lazaro, Clinton Offley and Nelson Fraizer Jr (x2) have all fallen at the hands of Gumble. Only two men have ever even heard the bell to signal the end of the first round against him. Usually, the champion has the most written about him, but I don’t have anything to say about Gumble. He has no weaknesses. His clinch could be called a strength, but he doesn’t even need it and has proved his striking several times. Gumble is the real deal, and a win here tonight over the big underdog would set up Gumble for what everyone’s waiting for; the end of season tournament.

http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/5/5w3.jpg Doyle Hawk (5-2-0) "Well I'll be damned,Another TKO loss huh...I Have to say,Even though i trashed talked the shit out of sakuraba in the old days,Right now he has my respect.So good on ye my friend.'Hope i get another chance for a rematch with ya."

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1424810339midweek9.jpg NY FIght NIghts Midweek Mayhem 9 Preview Distor Centura (9-3-1) v Alexander Puhovin (8-3) Alexander Puhovin, the young 23 year old upstart from Hostility will look to keep his promising career rolling against experienced NYFN fighter, Distor Centura. Centura is six years older than Puhovin and more experienced on the big stage, but Puhovin should have a big advantage in the boxing and BJJ department. With an eye popping seven of his eight wins by submission, Distor Centura has to be cautious when this fight hits the ground. Centura has come up with wins before when he looks overmatched, but he’ll again be hard pressed against the debuting Alexander Puhovin. Harland Sanders (7-2) v Harold Stone (10-3) One of the best that Hostility ever produced at 185 pounds, Harland Sanders is looking to take NYFN by storm with his powerful boxing attack. Sanders own five of his seven wins by TKO and his only loss in Hostility came by way of submission to the champion Luke Rockstar. Sanders has to be very hungry stepping into the lion’s den that is NYFN. He faces NYFN veteran Harold Stone in his first fight. Stone is 3-2 at NYFN and all of his fights have ended by way of TKO. In yet another matchup of great boxers, Harold Stone should find himself right at home if Sanders makes the fight a kickboxing match like he normally does. Expect fast and furious action from these two great strikers. Calm Like A Bomb (12-2) v Dexter Santaros (4-0) Two former super heavyweights at Hostility will do battle in their NYFN debuts. Calm Like A Bomb has lethal kicks that are very rare to see out of such huge men. Bomb typically uses a lot of low kicks to tear the legs and body of the opposition up, as well as keep opponents from getting too comfortable in the standup. His takedown defense will certainly come into play in this fight as he faces BJJ black belt Dexter Santaros. Santaros was never defeated in Hostility and poses issues for any opponent on the mat. For a BJJ fighter, Santaros is a very underrated striker. He’s finished fighters with his ground and pound and his boxing already in his young career. He’ll probably be overmatched on the feet against Bomb, but the ground and pound could prove fatal if he can take Bomb down. Francesco Torzoni (9-2) v Helix Cabrera (4-3) In a potential Fight of the Night, Francesco Torzoni is coming off an impressive win over Nikolai Nation in his NYFN debut. Torzoni is as balanced skills wise as anyone currently fighting in MMA, but prefers to keep fights from hitting the ground. In many ways, Torzoni and Helix Cabrera mirror each other. Torzoni is a couple years older and a little more experienced, but the younger Cabrera probably has the edge in raw power. Cabrera has 2 wins by TKO in his three NYFN fights. His only loss was to stalwart Luigi Vercotti in a tight, but unanimous decision fight. With both fighters really just beginning their journey in NYFN, this win could be a huge boost for either fighter. Benjamin BK (2-1) v Carlos Diaz (5-1) Carlos Diaz has been a force at 205 pounds since debuting in NYFN. At 5-1, Diaz is a very talented fighter with unbelievable power. Diaz has hands of stone and was potentially in line for a title shot after 5 straight wins before being submitted by The Sandman in his last fight. Benjamin BK is making his debut in NYFN, but is also a good striker in his own right. BK loves to mix in head kicks with his excellent boxing, which poses huge problems for those who can’t keep up with his tremendous hand speed. BK went 2-1 in the Dominance promotion, including a couple very tight fights before moving on to NYFN. Diaz hasn’t been pushed past the first round but once, so his cardio remains somewhat untested compared to BK. Martinez Eluard (8-6) v Benjamin Bengazzoni (11-8-1) With two of the best boxers at 185 pounds in this fight, expect fireworks. Martinez Eluard has both power and accuracy with his punches, but also has some severe disabilities when it comes to using anything other than his hands to strike. Eluard does boast a solid ground game though. Even though he only has one win by submission, he is a brown belt in BJJ and no slouch. Benjamin Bengazzoni is another supremely talented boxer, but he also mixes in kicks and clinch techniques to make his boxing that much more dangerous. Bangazzoni typically doesn’t mind whether his punches are thrown standing up or in the clinch, but he’ll assuredly attempt to get this fight in the clinch with the advantages he should have in this fight. Byrant Arlo (8-7) v Dont Know (4-3) We have two of the more talented fighters at 185 pounds in this fight. Bryrant Arlo is making his NYFN debut after a long stint in HMFL where he earned multiple Knockout of the Night bonuses. Arlo certainly has legitimate power, as he’s won all eight of his fights by TKO. A very similar fighter, Dont Know is comfortable everywhere in the cage. Know dominated in his NYFN debut last time out, earning a 30-27 unanimous decision win over Luka Janko. Both of these fighters have the potential to climb the ladder at 185 and earn a title shot, but only one fighter will have the positive momentum to do so after this fight. After such an impressive debut, Know could be looking at facing an old guard type opponent in his next fight with another impressive performance in this one. Chuck Neptune (2-3) v Fabio Lanzoni (2-0) Fabio Lanzoni was very impressive in his first NYFN fight, finishing Paul Frederick in less than two minutes by submission. Lanzoni is only 22 years of age, but is already a black belt in BJJ and as dangerous as anyone in NYFN on the ground. Lanzoni was able to neutralize the much better striker in Frederick last fight and dominate on the ground and he’ll have to do the same to defeat Chuck Neptune. Neptune is 2-2 in NYFN and coming off a brilliant win by head kick in his last time out. Neptune is a muay thai fighter who has some of the most dangerous feet in the business. While he’s no slouch on the ground, he’ll still want to stay away from getting on the ground with the dangerous Fabio Lanzoni. Corey Davis (0-1) v Marvin Blackwell (4-7) In a battle of two guys that tend to stand and trade, Corey Davis should have a significant edge in this fight even though he’s the much less experienced fighter. Davis is a very solid striker overall, but has pinpoint boxing that will really challenge Marvin Blackwell. Blackwell is a solid defensive wrestler and is very effective when it comes to using his feet, but if this fight turns into a boxing match, Corey Davis should be able to pick him apart. Blackwell won his first three fights by TKO in NYFN, but has been on the losing end in his past couple fights. Once a shooting star at 135 pounds, Blackwell will need to overcome the well-rounded Davis if he wants to get his mojo back. Bruce Lee (1-8) v Ramen Noodles (1-2) To put it mildly, Bruce Lee has had a whale of the time getting adjusted to life as a professional mixed martial artist. With an awful 1-8 record to his name, he’ll look to get his second win against young BJJ fighter Ramen Noodles. Noodles is a brown belt in BJJ and is very dangerous on the ground. Unfortunately for Noodles, his standup striking hasn’t been up to par and he’s been knocked out twice in three pro fights. Bruce Lee has a great clinch game as his primary strength is in muay thai, but he’s attempted to take fights to the ground at a very unusual rate. Lee isn’t a very gifted grappler and if he decides to try to take the fight to the ground against Noodles, he’ll more than likely be submitted.

I like the prediction sliders, I feel them on both sides of the fight,..but it is more comfortable with them. IMHO

Agreed ^^. This is why the N/A option exists. You don't have an opinion/reason to have an opinion yet? Then don't give one. Otherwise, base your 1-10 on your experience or what's the point other than being a dick?

Cmon son. I personally knew I did a stellar job with my org without the Indian e-gangster giving me a 10 (which he did eventually). I mean whats the damn point in giving a 1 from the jump? He needs attention or something? I give him a contract and money which he agreed to and he repays the favor with a shit org rating for other managers to see.

it's ridicilous to give either a 1 or a 10. why would someone do that? As you know very well, having an org and doing good takes a lot of time and effort. The least the managers who have fighters at your org can do, is to give you a fair rating right? Don't understand me wrong; I believe that I have a great relationship with the managers at my org. I just mean in general that it doesn't make sense that someone wouldn't give 2,3,...,9 because he/she wants to give only 1 or 10. what does that mean when he wants to give you either 1 or 10... ? That he'll give you 1 if he is for 95% happy with your org?? C'mon man... If someone wants to be critic, sure, but handing out only 1 or 10 ratings is just disrespectful
