Here's a piece of advice for you - It would do you a ton of good if you would just not post instead of posting complete diarrhea. I don't think Wolf had any access to code / database. I think Aaron was the one given access to the DB and started changing fighter stats - never really heard of him actually producing features which actually helped MMA Tycoon. That Wolf / Aaron saga had a massive ripple effect. Think of the amount of fighters / managers / organisations all affected because of them altering the fighter stats.

Haha. Fart Master needs to take his own advice then. He is the king of declining fights.

I wish some of the managers who had a set of balls came back and replaced the ones with vaginas. I rarely decline matchups but I am constantly getting ducked. Real talk! Yes me a sub par manager at best.

Not going to lie, this was my reaction when I read your first post I replied to.

-Madness 12 Huang vs Sixx Review - http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1567255213Mad%2012.png Madness 12 was a successful night of events! it was held in the great City of Montreal in the Hard Knocks Arena and took place 09/07/2019 The Event Rating was 125.97 The Attendance was 2728/3000 The disclosed amount of pay for the fighters was $134,502 There were ten bouts and eight remarkable finishes! James Fletcher improved to (1-1) and defeated David "Chugger" Doreen making him fall to (0-1) via KO (1:42) in the first round! In our first bout of the night, we saw debuting brawler with a big heart David Doreen (0-0) against the determined counter fighter James Fletcher (0-1) set in the Light heavyweight division this was a prime example of an over-aggressive fighter vs pristine counter striker. Doreen missed his combos early but was able to cut Fletcher early on, despite that Fletcher kept it together and landed a perfectly placed head kick counter that made Doreen wobbly, Doreen tried to swing back but Fletcher countered him over and over and the last put him out cold to score a brutal knockout! The defeated David Doreen did have this to say "It's never fun to talk about losing...Hell of a fight from my opponent...I am sorry for letting the fans down. I'm going to sit down with a 12-pack and run over tape to see what went wrong. Chugger out!." Fletcher proved he is one to keep an eye on! - "Silly" Shane Myres Improved to (1-1) and defeated Steve Stermann making him fall to (0-2) via TKO (1:50) in the second round In our second bout of the night we saw two Bantamweights both looking to pick up their first professional win with the Muay Thai specialist BJJ Blue belt with Lethal high kicks and Big right hands "Silly" Shane Myres (0-1) against fellow Muay Thai fighter BJJ Blue Belt that's very confident Steve Stermann (0-1) Stermann was very aggressive early and landing with strikes early on and Myres had his heart set on getting that clinch, after multiple failed attempts he finally got the clinch and cut Stermann with a glancing elbow and then he targeted that cut and made it even worse and rocked Sterman with a couple more damaging elbows but Stermann survived the first bell, but in the second round Myres does the same he got inside the clinch and started throwing those hell elbows of his making Stermann's cut even worse but he didn't stop there he went to the body with crushing knees and then went back up top with more elbows, Stermann's cut was nasty and the ref had to call in the doctor to which he stopped the fight. Shane Myres thanked his loyal fans in his post-fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career. very impressive performance! - Wyatt "The Disease" Measles improved to (1-0) and defeated Roland Steve making him fall to (0-1) via Unanimous decision (30:27 on all the judges scorecards) in the third bout of the night we saw two debuting Lightweights with BJJ white belt with KO power and great elbows, Wyatt "The Disease" Measles (0-0) against powerful BJJ white belt Roland Steve (0-0) Steve clinched up early multiple times but couldn't get off much offense and got cut in the meantime, in the second round Steve got the fight in the clinch again and this time scores a takedown but Measles gets up pretty quickly and return the favor by getting a clinch of his own but couldn't do much with it and it leads to a pretty unsuccessful round, in the third round Steve wanted to get the fight down to the ground but nothing worked and Measles coasted along to make the fight go to a decision. it was an alright fight but Measles pulling away with it. - Richard Head improved to (2-0) and defeated Hancho "El Chucho" Estiban making him fall to (1-2) via TKO (2:55) in the first round in the fourth fight of the night we saw two Welterweight fighters clash with the BJJ blue belt with KO power in Richard Head (1-0) against a strong boxer with a BJJ blue belt in Hancho "El Chucho" Estiban (1-1) Richard Head made this fight short and simple, getting the clinch early on and scoring a takedown off of it and then just slowly soften up his opponent which ultimately stunned Estiban and then he finished the fight! dominant performance. Richard Head seemed lost for words in his post-fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website - Luke Davidson improved to (2-0) and defeated Hiroshima "Ground Zero" Nagasaki making him fall to (0-1-1) via TKO (3:09) in the first round in our fifth fight of the night, we move back to the Light Heavyweight division with Decent wrestler with solid boxing skills and a granite chin in Luke Davidson (1-0) against heavy-handed Muay Thai fighter Hiroshima "Ground Zero" Nagasaki (0-0-1) A very entertaining quick fight was this one, both fighters exchanging some blows early some clinch work by both fighters and then BOOM Davidson landed a huge strike that rocked Nagasaki and Davidson slowly but surely kept working on him for the finish then he unloaded and landed a huge uppercut forcing Nagasaki to try to get a clinch, but failed and Davidson made him pay by landing a huge strike dropping Nagasaki and he didn't let up until the referee stepped in to stop the fight. great fight! Luke Davidson seemed lost for words in his post-fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website. - Joe Monroe improved to (2-0) and defeated Andrew "Anaconda" Garcia making him fall to (2-1) via Unanimous Decision (30:27 on all the judges scorecards) in the sixth fight of the night, we saw two middleweights go at it with BJJ blue belt with good kicks and a granite chin in Joe Monroe (1-0) against undefeated BJJ purple belt with decent striking and a solid chin Andrew "Anaconda" Garcia (2-0) two undefeated fighters take their place in the arena for this bout Garcia landed a takedown early in the first round but then Monroe escaped and returned the favor to which Garcia was relentless with submission attempts, nothing even close to finishing. the second round was contested more on the feet then round one which Monroe excelled in but we did see some grappling which Garcia going for submissions yet again. the last round Monroe up two rounds. round number three Garcia scores a few takedowns and went for submissions but Monroe defended easily and scored some takedowns of his own. Garcia had a tight ankle lock but to no success good efforts by Garcia, but Monroe pulled away with this one. - Bernie "Sandman" Saunders improved to (3-0) and defeated Jason Smith making him fall to (1-1) via Submission (RNC 1:38 in the very first round!) in the seventh fight of the night, we went back to the Bantamweight division to see a determined high-level grappler with a brown belt in Jiu-Jitsu in Bernie "Sandman" Saunders (2-0) sponsored by "Ma Balls Is Hot Clothing" against a BJJ blue belt with a good chin in Jason Smith (1-0) somebody had to lose their 0 in this bout. well, quite simply Saunders did a good job at countering, got a takedown and got the finish by RNC, only took him one attempt to get it done tonight, not a lot to break down here. but congrats to Bernie "Sandman" Saunders in making it 3-0 overall and 2-0 inside the Madness MMA cage. - "Last King Of Scotland" Robert McKenna improved to (13-12) and defeated Midnight Rider making him fall to (8-8) via TKO (4:56 in the second round) in the eighth bout on the night we saw powerful Light Heavyweights with the very quick Abu Dhabi Champ with Excellent boxing in "Last King Of Scotland" Robert McKenna (12-12) against Olympic wrestler and world-class MT fighter with a good gas tank in Robert McKenna. the first round was mostly all on the ground with McKenna getting a takedown at the bell, McKenna got cut early on but got up and scored another takedown and then Rider was relentless with submission attempts and McKenna attempted one himself, none close to a finish, that wasn't the story of round number two, McKenna got an early takedown and cut Rider open and targeted that cut and eventually the fight was called because of that nasty cut. what a way to come out in the second round. Robert McKenna very nearly forgot to thank Riner Clothing Everything for 50$ only amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully, he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you. Midnight Rider was interviewed post fight and said 'Oh well, twist one'. - Co-Main Event! Travis Mitchell improved to (11-7) by defeating Jon "The Big" Horn making him fall to (11-12) (1-4 KT) via KO (2:56 in the first round) in our co-main event of the night, we had another middleweight contest both with two Good wrestling and World-class boxing Travis Mitchell (10-7) against Jon "The Big" Horn (11-11) (1-4KT) both fighters get cut early which must've made Mitchell mad because he clinches and take this fight to the ground where he worked Horn over and rocked him with some GNP and earns a huge KO via GNP to stop the fight. wow. Travis Mitchell decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well. - alright now the moment we all HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! THE MAIN EVENT OF THE NIGHT! Kevin Huang Improved to (15-8-2) by defeating Nikki Sixx (10-4-1) handing him just his fourth loss, via Submission (RNC 4:58 in the first round) in our MAIN EVENT of the night we had Abu Dhabi Champ, Solid boxer and Insanely flexible Nikki Sixx (10-3-1) clash against the BJJ Red Belt, World-class boxer with a Good gas tank Kevin Huang (14-8-2) wow what stats these guys have! this bout was contested mostly on the ground with Haung dominating as we assumed, he got the takedown and didn't stop with the submission attempts until he decided to switch it up and do some powerful GNP and rocks Sixx and cuts him and then goes back to trying for the submission and after his second attempt after rocking his opponent he gets it! the fight ended via RNC, truly amazing to watch this man on the mat but if you thought Huang having a red belt would make Sixx give up boy were you wrong, this brave warrior tried his will and tried to submit the BJJ red belt, Twice! fearless. but all in all it's Kevin Huang who gets it down in the first round and makes it a quick night.

The Island Combat Championship (351k+) in association with Paradigm are proud to bring ICC 3 7th Seprember 2019 Micro Arena The Island In Partnership with Paradigm Hello everyone this is Kendo bringing to you a brief review of the Third Island Combat Championship and we have a fantastic night of fights lined up. Including four fighters making their debut fights two of which are lined to face each other and a 185 ibs Title fight featuring two undefeated fighters only one will remain so at the end of the night. Lets take a look at the fight card. Undercard 155 lbs Jasper "Dark" Ghost (USA) V Daniel Parker (USA) Twenty five year old Ghost faces a young Nineteen year old Parker in our first fight. With three wins all by submission Ghost will no doubt look to dominate with his superior BJJ skills but Parker has showed his capable ground skills with his two wins coming by way of submission. 155 lbs Carlos "Warrior" Ledher (COL) V Thommy "Senior" Harinck (NED) Two fighters making their dedut, Twenty year old Ledher and Twenty five year old Harinck. Ledher enters with a background in kickboxing and will hope to utilise those skills against a stronger wrestler in Harinck, who in turn is more than capable of matching Ledher's boxing but may rely on some good old ground and pound. 205 lbs Jamie "Junk YardDog" Porter (SCO) V Twan "Shark" Lark (THAI) Porter at Twenty two is making his debut against Eighteen year old Lark who suffered a defeat in his first fight by way of submission. Both fighters display decent stand up skills with Lark showing better kickboxing ability. Expect Porter to look to utilise his silightly better wrestling against a tricky Thai oponent. 170 lbs Ronald Mcdonald (ICE) V "El Artillero" Javier Garcia (COL) Twenty five year old Mcdonald will looking to make it two wins from two fights probably by once again using his superior BJJ skills. However although maing his debut Twenty five year old Garcia has more than capable wrestling ability to present a serious challenge to Mcdonald's plans. 265 lbs Girth Brooks (Afgn) V Willis "Tiny" Wallace (SA) A second meeting for these two fighters and its hard to see it turning out any different to their first encounter, where Brooks (25) delivered a spinning back fist to knockout Wallace (18) in 1:41 of round one. The heavy hands of Brooks will be difficult for Wallace to avoid either standing or on the ground. Main Card 145 lbs Thimothy Weenus (BHU) V Shawn "Alex" VanDam (ENG) Twenty one year old Weenus from Bhutan is making his second fight appearance and hoping to make it two wins from two fights having notched up win number one with a triangle armbar submission. With decent boxing ability and a purple belt in BJJ he is more than capable of taking the fight to anyone on the ground or on the mat. Shawn VanDam at Twenty five is also looking for his second win after winning in his first fight with a Kimura inside the first minute. With both these fighters holding BJJ purple belts they will each look to their other skills to gain an advantage. 265 lbs Gaahl "Death" Brynvar (NOR) V Stian "Hellhammer" Thoreson (NOR) Once again two fighter making their second fight appearance but both of these are coming off the back of losses. Brynvar at twenty five is the slightly better kickboxer and wrestler, but he will have to be aware of Thoreson's boxing ability if he doesnt want a repeat of his knockout defeat. Thoreson still only Eighteen years of age is by far the superior boxer and with a little extra height and nearly two stones heavier will hope to bring all that to bear. This will either be a tribute to stand up slugging or become something more akin to Walruses on a beach. 170 lbs Devon "Loolaboy" Finnes (JAM) V Jonathon Philips (USA) Finnes aged Twenty five enters with one win an arm triangle submission and one loss which was a unanimous decision and with the better boxing and wrestling skills he will feel comfortable whichever direction the fight may take. Philips still only Twenty one starts here with one win and two losses. He achieved his first win in his first fight with a guillotine submission but has followed that up with two defeats by way of knockout. He may look to use his slightly better kickboxing. Finnes will almost certainly be aiming to hand out knockout number three to Philips who in turn has no desire for that to happen. Special Feature fight 185 lbs Title Event Evengi Kozlov (RUS) V Sir William "Guardian of Scotland" Wallace (SCO) Here we have two undefeated fighters so not just a tile on the line but keeping the loss count to zero will be the icing on the cake for the victor of this one. Kozlov at twenty five has started his MMA career with three wins his first came by way of a unanimous decision and he has followed that with two first round knockouts courtesy of a powerful right hand. A highly skilled boxer he also has decent wrestling ability making him a dangerous opponent from all angles. Wallace also twenty five has started his MMA career with three knockouts all inside the first minute. He comes here with decent kickboxing ability and a superior ability in wrestling. Comfortable on his feet or rolling around the floor this suicidal Scot is hellbent on destruction. Either his opponent or himself in the trying. Top of The Bill Main Event 185 lbs Axel "The Hammer" Harris (AUS V Joseph "F.S.W." Jantan (MAL) Twenty five year old Harris is making his third fight appearance. In his first fight he defeated James Hunter by way of a unanimous decision but followed that with a defeat to Robert Leahy and a guillotine choke submission. The slightly less experienced of the two he will attempt to utilise his superior kickboxing skills and nullify the threat from his opponent. Jantan is a Twenty five year old whirlwind from Malaysia who is setting the MMA world alight with his outstandingly dominant performances. Five fights, five wins and all by way of knockout and all in the first round. Michael Goodman, Finisher Tokyo, Tyler Banks, Better You and Herlock Von Ryan have all met the Malaysian phenom and felt his force. He enters here looking to make it win number six and possibly earn a shot at a title. This has all the hallmarks of a sensational fight that's if both fighters can match their credentials. This has been Kendo writing for Island Combat Championship (351K+), hope you all enjoyed thanks for reading, hope to catch you all again, cheers Kendo.

Org owners are the back bone of this game, without them the whole thing implodes. Would of been smart to entice the top org owners to stick around. Good to see you around Franky. Long live the King's.

Strange, I wonder how that could be? Oh.. never mind.

I found the site by being interested in the genre. My mma experience is none. In real life I do k1 kickboxing and karate kyokushin and enjoy watching UFC events. I'm from lithuania and my favorite fighters are Israel,Dustin,Cormier and GSP.

I believe the matchmaker is honestly a good guy. I wouldnt mind sticking out the last 2 fights if this offer was sent like 2 or 3 days ago. Dawson jr is already at the 30 day inactivity requirement so hopefully he isnt sitting another 13 days. P.s I didnt leave it the new owner sacked me when I told him I helped book matches when I wasnt busy with work

We are still here! And we are now tied for 2nd place as the HIGHEST SATISFACTION ORG IN THE WORLD! We work hard to give good fight offers, fair contracts, and a place where we can grow and succeed together! Still looking for guys, as we've just opened a 145 division!

Glad you liked it man! Funny, cause that was the one I just tossed together in about a half hour! haha.

Solid work Kendo! As always!

Pre Fight Chit Chat Hello this is Kendo on behalf of Underground Fight Club Org fresh from my quick fire journey around the globe to bring to you some of the latest chit chat ahead of Underground FC 38. First stop was Tokyo where i was hoping to catch up with "Beast from the East" Serhey Rishikinov for a for a quick chat. I finally tracked him down in his favourite Sushi Bar. I try to catch his attention, (Me) Hi Serhey ? he looks at me and smiles as best anyone could with a mouthfull of raw fish. (Serhey) Hello, hello come sit, try this (as he offers me some raw fish on the end of a pair of chopsticks) (Me) Oh er thankyou but all this flying and time zone changes, my stomach hasn't setttled yet. (Serhey) Plenty of protein in this. (He declares as he once again gestures towards me and after i again politely decline he finishes his 1st serving) (Me) I was just hoping to grab a quick word before your upcoming fight with Marin Ivanov. (His lips curl slightly as he speaks) (Serhey) Marin Ivanov (He hisses between tight pursed lips) (Me) Do i sense bad blood ? (Serhey) For him and anyone on the other side of the cage (starting to relax somewhat) but maybe a little more for him. (Me) Any particular reason ? (Serhey) Little jumped up fighter from nowhere probably seeing this as his way of climbing the rankings for another feeble attempt at a title (His second serving arrives) Are you sure ? (he once again gestures to me i simply shake my head) I am a title holder and i will show him why he isn't one. (Me) (By now the sight and smell was becoming too much) Well,,,,thank you ,,,but you will have to excuse me ,, i really have to rush (struggling to stop the dry heaving) (Serhey) Oh so soon ? Pity we have some Squid and Octopus coming along next. (Me) (By now i am holding back the last thing i ate) thanks ,,good luuuck,,,hope to chat,,again,,some time. (Serhey) Yeh anytime just bring an appetite next time. Safely on the plane next stop New York where i will be chatting with Marin Ivanov. Arriving at the Forge gym i see some sparing going on and see Ivanov joining in with the many voices offering support and advice. (Me) Excuse me Marin ? (He turns and smiles) (Marin) Yes (Me) Hello i am Kendo (he stops me there) (Marin) Yes i know you we were expecting you earlier (Me) Erm well yes unfortunately something came up all of a sudden and well i had to see to that before coming here, i hope i didn't keep you from anything ? (Marin) No no it's ok glad your here now (again he smiles) Well what do you want to know ? (Me) First how do you feel going into this fight ? (Marin) I couldn't be in better shape. (Me) Serhey Rishikinov has suggested you might be seeing this as a way to step up the rankings, is that the case ? (Marin) Well that is the way for everyone. what better way to say that i am ready to become a belt holder than by beating one up a little bit (he says with a big grin) That has to be the long term goal for everyone to become a champion and we all start at the bottom and climb up. (Me) So what would be your short term goal ? (Marin) Putting a lot of hurt and pain upon Rishikinov. (Me) Any particular reason ? (Marin) No not really (He laughs) I see where your trying to go with this, but no, thats always my short term focus, to beat the other guy on the other side of the cage. (He moves to leave) I am sorry our time was short but,(i jump in) (Me) I understand my fault i was late. (Marin) These things happen. (He shakes my hand) (Me) Thanks anyway , good luck and hope to do this again sometime. (He has already left) What a stroke of luck as i notice Cosmo "Worldbeater" Hines making last minute preparations before he departs. Hoping to get a word or two from him and with the latest rumours suggesting a rift of some sort between him and Callam "Super Crazy" Bowers still fresh in my mind and their manager Scott Pritchard not returning my calls, i go in search of an answer. (Me) Hi Cosmo ? Any chance of a quick word ? (He looks up) (Cosmo) Yeh sure i got time. (We sit on a couple of chairs in a quietish corner) (Me) I am sure you are aware of the rumours of a rift or grudge of some sort between yourself and Callam Bowers ? (Cosmo) Yes and to be clear they aint rumours.(He is clearly agitated) (Me) You mean they are true ? (Cosmo) Yehall of 'em i can't stand the little twerp.(Stated through gritted teeth) (Me) So it would be fair to say that this fight has an edge to it ? (Cosmo)You can say what you want as long as you say i will be shutting his yap.(A pointed finger and waved fist display his emotion) (Me) What exactly started all this ? (Cosmo) He did. (Me) How ? What happened bem tween you two ? (Cosmo) Have you met him ? (Me) No not yet i am hoping to speak to him sometime soon. (Cosmo) Why,,?,,,Well once you meet him you will get it yada yada yada (Cosmo imitating mouth with his hands it looks like a naked glove puppet) He never shuts up. (Me) Oh i see, well (Cosmo is summoned by his one of his trainers) (Cosmo) Sorry bro gotta go and whoop some yappy chappy (Me) Yeh no worries, good luck and hope to catch you again sometime. (Cosmo) Yup ok bro. (Speaking as he leaves) Well this appears to be a novel way for a manager to restore order within his "stable". With Underground Org giving me unprecedented access to one of their executive jets i set off for Amsterdam for Underground FC 38, with a stop over in Helsinki where i should find Callam "Super Crazy" Bowers. A quick taxi ride to the Blanc Fitness Academy and i soon see Callam packing a few items for the trip. (Me) Excuse me Callam ? (Callam) Yeh that's me (He turns to look at me) Oh it's you (He holds out his hand and we shake) How are you ? (Me) Oh a little jet lagged but more importantly how are you ? The readers are not onterested in me (He laughs) (Callam) I am fine man all good, whats on your mind ? (Me) Well this rift between you and Cosmo Hines really, what is it all about ? (Callam) Have you met him ? (Me) Uhm yes. (Callam) And ? (Me) He said the same thing to me about you. (Callam) What ? Jeez thats him all over, always someone else never him. (Me) Is this just a difference in opinion as to which one of you is top dog to the other ? (Callam) He has different opinions to everyone on everything but after the fight he will know his place. (He picks up his flight bag) Its been fun chatting but i have somewhere else to be. (Me) Yeh no worries thanks for the chat. (Callam) All good man. (Me) Good luck hope to do this again sometime. (HE turns and shakes my hans again and leaves) Well hopefully this has wetted some appetites in readiness for Underground FC 38. A special thanks to Underground Org for the use of a company jet, couldn't have done it without it. This is Kendo writing for Underground Fight Club Org and it been my pleasure.

Wow you're amazing Camara!!

Seems like someone's having a wild weekend on shrooms again

I’m your host, Eric Carr, and joining me is the esteemed Chris Ball! Ball: Once again I’m on the scene with the fresh and clean, Mr. Carr! As usual, we have an outstanding lineup for this event! Carr: So very true! Tonight we have three Lightweight fights, one Light Heavyweight fight, one Middleweight fight, two Featherweight fights, one Welterweight fight, one Super Heavyweight fight, and one Bantamweight fight! Ball: Buckle in, ladies and gentlemen, because the ride begins now! Kicking off our event is Scar Ambe versus Jay Bizihwaeile! Wow, that’s a serious tongue twister! Carr: That’s what she said! Ball: Ha! Furious Styles would have a field day with Jay’s last name! “Souless” is a respectable 16-7, but I have to wonder if anyone has told him that’s now the correct way to spell soulless! Oh well, that’s not my job! At one point in his early career, he won 7 fights in a row, so he’s obviously quite capable of beating anyone! He currently has a 2-fight win streak with his most recent victory being over Thiago Neves by unanimous decision at Rapid Fighting Championship 37! That victory also earned him the Fight of the Night award! This member of the UnderGround Fights Enterprise alliance is ten pounds lighter than Bizihwaeile, but he may very well have the speed advantage in this fight, and if that’s the case, look for him to counter-attack Jay for the takedown attempt in an effort to control the fight on the mat and possibly make him tap! Carr: “The Special One” is an impressive 6-1 with that sole loss being the very first fight in his young career! He’s seven years younger than Ambe and that youthful energy may serve him very well in this fight! All but one of his fights have ended in the first round, so you know to expect speed, power and aggressiveness from him at all times! He did his best Mike Tyson impression at Rapid Fight Championship 40 by dropping Demetrious Waters in eight seconds! I fully expect Jay to be a house of fire against Ambe in this fight, and he’ll unleash vicious punches and kicks that I don’t think Ambe will be able to handle! My pick for this fight is Bizihwaeile by knockout! I have no doubt the Keyboard Warriors will be on hand for this fight and will be loud and proud of this young lion! Ball: Since I’m older than you, Carr, I’ll go against the popular vote and I’ll take Ambe to pull off what many would consider to be an upset! I think his age and experience will work well in his favor and he may very well counter the aggression and power of Bizihwaeile and take the fight to the ground where that power and kicking ability won’t mean anything! Jay may very well tap out tonight! PREDICTIONS: Ball – Ambe by Submission; Carr – Bizihwaeile by KO Ball: Next into the cage will be Royce Gracie and John Makres! I have to wonder just how many Gracie’s there are out there! Carr: I know they have a big family and we’ve seen many of them in mixed martial arts, but that may only be the tip of the iceberg! Ball: Time will tell. Gracie is an outstanding 14-2 and a proud representative of Brazil! Like many Brazilians in MMA, his BJJ skills are tremendous, and his very impressive string of submission victories speaks for itself! He had an 11-fight win streak snapped by Apolinario Mabini at The Island Season 9, Round 4! While in SPARTA, he wore championship gold, so he’ll definitely rely on that championship experience to carry him far! Even though he’s the shorter fighter, I think that’ll work in his favor because it’s easier to lock a long limb into a submission hold, and I’m sure Makres is fully aware of that! Carr: “F-16” is a perfect 4-0, and for being 21 years old, The Stepdads tell me he’s quite skilled, especially in the standup game! That skill will serve him very well against a very skilled ground fighter like Gracie! Makres has won his fights on the ground and standing, and we witnessed his standup ability at Rapid Fighting Championship in Tokyo 16 against Vaai Finau! That was a tough two round fight and a brutal head kick finished Finau! This young tiger has caught the attention of Ace Giannis Ignacio recently, so that may be a fight to see in the near future! In the meanwhile, this proud Greek definitely has his hands full with a very capable, older opponent, but I think Makres will keep this fight standing and use his punches and kicks to keep Gracie at a distance and prevent him from shooting in for the takedown! Ball: That’s true, but Gracie could counter-attack Makres and wait for one of those kicks to sail by and while Makres is off balance, he can nail the takedown and go for the submission! For that fact, I’ll take Gracie to win this fight by submission! Carr: I think the young warrior will be able to capitalize on his boxing and muay thai abilities to keep Gracie at bay and finish this fight on its feet! I say Makres by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Makres by KO; Ball – Gracie by Submission Carr: Ronaldo Gonya versus Twisty Kneereaper is the next fight, and these two 21-year-old warriors will definitely bring a great fight for all of us to behold! “Mesta” is 10-3, and he currently has a 3-fight win streak! At one point in time he had a 6-fight win streak, but unfortunately for him, he lost a chance to wear gold when he lost to Akoni Jackson at Some 18! He’s shown the ability to win a fight anywhere, and I’m sure Kneereaper is well aware of that! Gonya also has the height advantage in this fight, but I’m not sure if that will be his advantage, because Kneereaper has proven himself to be quite skilled in the standup aspect of fighting! Ball: He absolutely has! I know his record is currently 5-3, but those losses were early in his career, and since he has gone with a new management and training team, he’s won the last two fights, both in the first round, so he’s now far more focused and dangerous! It’s amazing what focus, guidance and training can do for a fighter, especially a young one! Despite his standup skills, the last two victories have been by submission, so his fighting skills are rounding out, and Gonya will have his hands full! Gonya does have a little more fight experience and that could serve him well overall, but I think Kneereaper’s overall skills will minimize that advantage! Carr: You raise very good points, but I’m very impressed by what Gonya has been able to accomplish, so he’s my pick to win this fight by submission! Ball: And I’ll take Kneereaper to win this fight by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Ball – Kneereaper by KO; Carr – Gonya by Submission Ball: Now we focus on Sisu Sisu, or Sisu squared, battling Snappy Whiplash! Funny how first we have Kneereaper, and now we have Whiplash! Very clever! Carr: They definitely put some thought into their names, that’s for certain! “Black Gold” is 7-3 and his fellow LEGION OF DOOM alliance members speak about his future in a very positive way! A 7-fight win streak shows that he’s a competitor to be taken seriously, but he’s had recent struggles in his last two fights! He won a title recently but lost it to Martin Eugen at IFA 18-04! I have no doubt the young man wants to wear gold again, and to do that, he has to climb the proverbial ladder once again! Earning a victory over Whiplash will definitely help him climb a rung on that ladder, but it won’t be an easy task! Ball: No, it will not be easy! Whiplash steps into the cage with a 6-fight win streak, so his confidence is high and his fellow La Familia members are very proud of his accomplishments! He’s shown an ability to win a fight with his fists, as well as his feet, and that will make it difficult on Sisu to go for the submission, as many of us expect! Whiplash is typically an aggressive fighter, but he’s also had fights go the distance, and he may opt to slow the pace a bit as to not leave any openings for Sisu to take advantage of easily. Sisu may have to step outside of his comfort zone and speed things up a bit, which could be a disadvantage for him! In light of that, I’ll take Whiplash in this fight because I think he can make Sisu change his tactics, and the price for that will be a knockout loss! Carr: I’ll take Sisu to win this fight by submission! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Sisu by Submission; Ball – Whiplash by KO Carr: We move on next to Toussaint Bissainthe versus Nuclear Penguin! Too bad Furious Styles isn’t here because he’d really have a field day with Nuclear Penguin! Ball: No doubt about it! Toussaint Bissainthe “dokte sosye” is quite a name, definitely, but he’s also a solid fighter! He’s 4-1 and is a very skilled 21-year-old warrior! YABAI lauds his training ethic and ability in the cage! He’s carrying a 3-fight win streak and all but one of his fights have ended in the first round, so he’s also rather aggressive and confident! His fists and feet are educated and capable, so Penguin will have to be at his best to avoid being dropped in this fight! Carr: Wait a minute! I just got word that this fight between “Tactical” Nuclear Penguin is for the Welterweight title! Ball: Are you serious!? That’s major! Carr: It absolutely is! Penguin now has even more motivation in this fight! Ball: I think the same holds true for Bissainthe! An opportunity to wear gold is motivation for anyone! Carr: Penguin has the experience advantage in this fight to go along with his excellent 9-2 record! He’s had win streaks of 3 and 4 fights, and most of his fights have gone the distance, so he may opt to take a more concise and methodical approach to feel out Bissainthe before trying to go for a finish! Bissainthe is well trained, definitely, and he may have more ground skills than Penguin expects, so that could play quite an x factor in this fight! I am a bit concerned about the blue hue that his skin emits, though! It’s a bit strange, Ball! Ball: That is quite an odd color shade, I concur, I can’t convince myself to pick a guy to win a fight who looks like an overgrown Smurf, so I’m picking Bissainthe to win this fight by knockout! Carr: I have no problem picking a guy who has “Tactical” as his nickname! I choose Penguin to win this fight by submission! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Penguin by Submission; Ball – Bissainthe by KO Carr: After that title fight, we move on to Third Eye versus Billy Quinn! Third Eye brings a 4-1 record and he’s lighter than Quinn, so I expect him to use his potential speed advantage and keep this fight on its feet! His confidence is high since he’s won 4 fights in a row, and he’s proven that his punch packs quite a pop! All but one of his fights has gone past the first round, so expect him to be as aggressive as he’s been, and that aggression, coupled with his potential speed advantage, could cause a lot of problems for Quinn! Ball: “Bubba” steps into the cage with a 6-3 record, and all but his last fight has gone the distance! His victory over Gilberto Da Souza at Rapid Fighting Championship 37 was impressive because he just pounded out Souza with an unexpected viciousness! That win may be indicative of a new approach to his fights that keeps his opponents off balance because they expect a slower paced fight! Unexpected aggression is an excellent way to have a slight advantage over any opponent because they’re not exactly sure how to prepare against him! Even if a fighter doesn’t use counter-attack tactics, per se, having different paces of speed is a counter-attack in its own way! Quinn also has a bit of an experience advantage and that’s always a plus in my book! I think Quinn will test Eye’s standup skills sporadically while looking to shoot in and catch him off guard, because he has the advantage on the ground, in my opinion, so I’m taking Quinn to win this fight by submission! Carr: Although you raise solid points, I think Eye keeps this fight on its feet, and he may even go for a clinch to press his standup skills advantage! He can frustrate Quinn and make him change his gameplan, and by doing that, he adds to any advantages he has! Although he looks quite odd, I think Eye is capable of winning this fight, so he’s my pick to win by knockout! Ball: Quinn has various advantages that I think he knows full well how to take advantage of! Quinn wins this fight by submission! PREDICTIONS: Ball – Quinn by Submission; Carr – Eye by KO Ball: Next into the cage of pain is Chief Navajo versus Abdul Nurmy! I have a few tribes of Native American running through my veins, so I’m cool with Chief Navajo! I have Blackfoot, Cherokee, and Choctaw! Navajo is 4-4 so he’s obviously looking to push that record to a winning one in this battle against Nurmy! At one point in time, Navajo had a 4-fight win streak, but he’s been struggling as of late, and the last 3 fights have been first-round losses! That’s quite a toll for any fighter to endure, so this will be a very tough test for him to overcome! He does have championship experience, and that’s very valuable, but losing that title to Aslanbek Barayev in the first round at Rapid Fighting Championship Showdown in Tokyo 9 was crushing! We’ll see what he’s made of in that cage against Nurmy! Carr: Nurmy is a decent 5-4 but like Navajo, he’s had some recent struggles. His last 4 fights have been losses, and he actually lost to Navajo before at Rapid Fighting Championship 24! Will Nurmy be able to gain some vengeance against Navajo in this fight? That’s the question on his and his trainer’s hands! His current management team has come under fire as of late because under a different management team, he was an impressive 5-0. He and that management team had a falling out and the rest is history up this point. He’s 27 years old so he needs to turn things around as fast as he possibly can! Ball: He truly does, but for a man who needs to get things turned around as fast as he can, he doesn’t have the look of a man desperate to win! In fact, he looked completely disinterested, and we both know that’s a very bad sign! I know I don’t need any further information to make my pick! Navajo finishes Nurmy by Submission! Carr: I’ll say Navajo wins by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Navajo by KO; Ball – Navajo by Submission! Carr: Bretton Pritcharf battles Jimrex Jaca, and at 6-5, Pritcharf has had his struggles! He’s stepping into this fight with a 2-fight win streak, and both of those victories have been over the same fighter, Archie Davids! He had a shot at a title against Ray Vision at Rapid Fighting Championship 20, but he lost by unanimous decision! When I spoke with him backstage, he looked like a defeated fighter, Ball, so you know what that means! Ball: I absolutely know what that means! Jaca, “The Sleeping Pill”, should win this fight by a knockout, and the UnderGround Fights Enterprise alliance members in his corner will tell him that very same thing! He’s 2-3 and has been shown to be a bleeder, but in this fight, I call cakewalk! Jaca wins this fight easily by knockout! Carr: I can’t argue that! Jaca by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Jaca by KO; Ball – Jaca by KO Carr: Our second to last fight Raimo Virtanen battling Gamechu McKraken! Ball: McKraken? That sounds like a new hamburger at McDonald’s or something! “Rmj” is 1-5, which obviously isn’t good at all, and the young man from Helsinki just doesn’t have the eye of the tiger tonight! When I saw him in the locker room area, he just looked out of it, both physically and mentally! For the life of me, I don’t understand how fighters aren’t fully prepared for combat! That’s just asking for bad things to happen to them! Carr: They become human punching bags at that point, and McKraken is going to take full advantage of that! He’s 1-1 but Convicted Inc. definitely knows how to prepare their fighters for battles, and I expect McKraken to be very aggressive! His Kimura victory over Marcos Budinha at Rapid Fighting Championship 39 was proof that his aggression can lead to positive results! I don’t see that changing in this fight against Virtanen! McKraken wins this by submission! Ball: I think McKraken wins this fight by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Ball – McKraken by KO; Carr – McKraken by Submission Ball: Our final battle of the evening features Kari Halifax against Yves Trudeau! Halifax brings a solid 6-2 record into this battle, and at one point in time, he won 5 fights in a row! However, for reasons unknown, he and his management team at that point in time decided to split up, and he’s lost 2 of his last 3 fights under his new management and trainers! He’s only 21 years old so he has a chance to position himself into a better situation, but he has to get that done now as opposed to later! Carr: I don’t know if he has the inspiration to do that tonight, Ball! I interviewed his new trainers and they said his training sessions have been half-assed at best, so his frame of mind isn’t where it needs to be! “The Mad Bumper”, on the other hand, is primed and ready for this fight, and from the skills he’s displayed during his young career, I think he’ll put on a lesson in standup fighting against Halifax! His 3-1 record will be 4-1 by the time this one is over! Trudeau wins by knockout! Ball: Yes he does! PREDICTIONS: Ball – Trudeau by KO; Carr – Trudeau by KO Ball: And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen! Carr: Thank you for joining Ball and I for this preview! We appreciate your time and as always, we thank our merchandise partner, Dark Knight Nutrition! Be sure to buy their excellent products at local retailers and online! Take care, be well, and we’ll see you at the fights!

RAPID FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP 42 PREVIEW – HARD KNOCKS ARENA IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA Carr: Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Rapid Fighting Championship 42 Preview! I’m your host, Eric Carr, and joining me is the esteemed Chris Ball! Ball: I’m in the house with the one and only Carr, and we have a tremendous lineup for this show! Carr: Absolutely correct! There are two Lightweight fights, one of which is for the Lightweight Championship! We have one Super Heavyweight fight on the card and that’s for the Super Heavyweight Title! There’s one Welterweight fight, three Light Heavyweight fights, one Featherweight fight, and two Middleweight fights to sum it all up! Ball: The action starts off with an explosive matchup for the Lightweight Title between Darrel Hill and Ru Shi Wu Cao! Wow, that’s a mouthful! Carr: That’s what she said! Ball: I thought Styles over in Tokyo was the only one who would take it there, but I guess not! Carr: Hey, it was right there for the taking and I’m not going to pass up a chance like that! Ball: Apparently not! Darrel “Hitman” Hill, who is apparently into Highlander or medieval times, and definitely is into tattoos since his hands and forehead have tattoos, steps into this battle with a perfect 8-0 record! No one will argue that he is the deserving champion of that very sharp-looking belt, and The Stepdads definitely tout this young fighter as the future of their alliance! Carr: Hill has shown quite the propensity to take fights to the ground and finish them! During his impressive 8-fight win streak, the Kimura has been his favorite finish as six matches have ended with that! He’s also successfully defended the title twice already, once against Aslanbek Barayev at Rapid Fighting Championship Showdown in Tokyo 16, and the other at Rapid Fighting Championship Fight Night 10! Apparently, Maverick Kai is not impressed and had some rather choice words for “Hitman” Hill recently! Ball: Apparently this Buzz conversation has escalated into a potential feud between these two fighters, so that’s something to keep an eye on for the future! Hill has also shown an awareness of when to go for the finish as the other two victories are by TKO, so an intelligent fighter with educated skills makes for one dangerous dude! Since he’s only 20 years old, there’s tremendous potential for this young man! Across the cage from him is another 20-year-old who has a solid 5-1 record! Cao, like Hill, has shown he can finish fights with submissions or strikes, so I expect to see nothing less than these two going toe-to-toe to start the fight, then it may end up on the ground, where both of these fighters are most comfortable! Carr: Both are also aggressive so this fight could very well be over before the butter on the popcorn settles! Earlier today, I spoke with both of these young man, and I asked Hill to put his sword away because I’m not trying to have any Kill Bill moments! He’s absolutely focused and ready for this fight because he wants to prove to his doubters that he’s the real deal! When I spoke with Cao, I have to be honest, Ball, I didn’t get the sense that he was all there mentally for this battle! I honestly don’t understand how anyone with a chance to earn a title doesn’t get themselves in prime condition on all levels for that chance, but it is what it is! I could be wrong, of course, and Cao may just absolutely go off and defeat Hill quickly, but from what I saw and felt, he’s not in the right frame of mind for this opportunity! Ball: That’s a shame, really, because it’s not every day you have a chance to be a champion! I don’t know what other motivation is needed, but seeing that belt should help motivate any fighter! Since you don’t think Cao’s mentally up to par for this, I’ll take Hill for the submission victory! Carr: I second that motion, your honor! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Hill by Submission; Ball – Hill by Submission Carr: The monster trucks of the MMA step into the ring as over 500 lbs. of humanity squares off in the cage! Alejandro “The Kraken” Arciniega and Ryo “Red Dragon” Takuma do battle for the Super Heavyweight Championship! “The Kraken”, cool nickname by the way, enters the cage with a 6-1 record, and The Stepdads are certainly very proud of this young man as well! He brings with him a 4-fight win streak, and only two of his fights have gone past the first round, so expect his same aggressive approach to this fight as well! He defeated Luis Maestre at Rapid Fighting Championship 39, and showed the organization that his hands are definitely sources of pain! Ball: Dude either finishes his opponents with his fists or he gets dropped by a fighter with some dynamite in his hands! “Red Dragon” fits that description, Carr! He’s 8-3 and is also a member of The Stepdads, so there are bragging rights within the alliance as well on the line! Takuma is eight years older, and that life experience may be of benefit to him, along with his height and weight advantage! His fists are his ticket to victory and that’s all there is to it! He’s lost to hard-hitting fists and submissions, but that obviously hasn’t stopped him! What I find interesting is he apparently pissed off Dodong Santiago during his time in FARTMMA! After knocking him out in the first round, Dodong flew off the handle a couple of months later! This buzz thing really let’s fighters go off! Carr: Buzz definitely provides entertainment for those who are subscribed to it! It’s always awkward when two fighters from the same alliance battle it out in the cage, especially when there’s a belt on the line, but both of these warriors are absolutely ready for this! I’m going with “The Kraken” and his youthful aggressiveness to win this fight by knockout! Ball: Since I’m older than you, I’ll go with the older Takuma to win this by knockout because of his experience! PREDICTIONS: Ball – Takuma by Knockout; Carr – Arciniega by Knockout Ball: The welterweights take the stage when James Smith and Demetrious “No Mercy” Waters enter the cage! With a 13-7 record, Smith is the shorter man in this fight but he has the weight advantage, and a slight in-cage experience as well! Although he has a 3-fight losing streak heading into this fight, his fellow UnderGround Fights Enterprise alliance members say he’s very confident for this fight, and from what we’ve seen, he’s aggressive from start to finish! His losses have been by more submissions than decision losses, but he’s shown a strong chin and plenty of energy to go the distance if that needs to happen! Scar Ambe, who beat Smith by unanimous decision, let him hear about it recently, and maybe that’ll help Smith turn around his fortunes! Carr: The taller “No Mercy” has had an even up-and-down start to his career, currently standing at 8-8! To his credit, the guy likes to fight! He’s been putting in a lot of work in the Quick Fight Championship circuit, so he’s experienced all types of matches, and that will work to his advantage! He’s shown solid ground skills, especially in the submission aspect, and I expect him to try and use his height as leverage to take Smith to the ground and try to control the fight there! However, when I spoke with Waters’ trainers recently, they all had a look of concern on their faces because they feel Waters hasn’t been training the way he should for this fight, opting to mope in the gym about a disagreement he had with a lady friend of his! Ball: Sometimes, Carr, women and combat sports don’t mix! Carr: Don’t I know it! Still, there has to be an understanding about what’s at stake here! Keeping personal issues outside of the cage is the only way to be successful, unless the fighter is able to use that emotional turmoil as fuel! Ball: That’s a very good point! Some of our female fighters have told me that they purposefully get into it with their significant other and use the fire of that emotion to push themselves to another level in a fight! Whatever works! Waters is going to be a walking target in there if he’s not completely with it! I’m picking Smith to win by knockout! Carr: You do what you have to do in this industry! Speaking of doing, I’ll do what I have to do and pick Smith to win this fight by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Smith by Knockout; Ball – Smith by Knockout Carr: The first of three light heavyweights fights begins with Yanki Klushinwa vs. Abraham “All Day” Alcantara! Ball: “All Day”? Does it say what he can do or wants to do all day? Carr: Not a word! You’ll have to ask him! Ball: I’m a little trepid about asking a dude with a purple Mohawk any questions! Carr: I see. Well, we’ll find out one way or the other. Klushinwa has had a bit of a struggle so far with his career. He’s 4-4 overall and recently lost to Twisty Kneereaper, one hell of a name, by Rear Naked Choke at Rapid Fighting Championship 39! Most of his victories have been by decision so he’s methodical in his approach and tries to control the fight, and that frustrates certain opponents, especially ones who are very aggressive and anxious to fight! He’s taller than Alcantara so I expect him to use that height to stay outside and throw jabs at Alcantara to try and keep him at bay! I was able to speak with his trainers as well, Ball, and he’s another fighter who just seems out of it! He was shadowboxing when I walked into the locker room and he had no crispness, no pop! He was just going through the motions and that speaks volumes! Ball: Seriously!? The whole point of getting into the fight game is to prepare yourself on all levels to be the best warrior you can be at all times, no matter the circumstances! “All Day”, although at 7-7, may very well have the easiest fight of his entire career against Klushinwa! The last two fights have been tough outings and he lost both by submission! When he wins, he wins with brutality, and I expect him to be very aggressive in throwing punches at Klushinwa, especially if he’s not fully prepared for those hard-hitting hands! Only one fight has gone the distance for Alcantara, and I definitely don’t expect that to change in this fight! Let’s just cut to the chase and say I’m taking Alcantara by knockout win! Carr: I concur with that decision! Alcantara by knockout, bottom line! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Alcantara by Knockout; Ball – Alcantara by Knockout Carr: Staying in the light heavyweight division, Roc Le Phat and Orla Wanker are set to do battle! Ball: I wonder if Orla knows that wanker is a British slang term! Carr: I’m sure he heard it numerous times when he was a kid! Ball: Maybe that’s why he’s a mixed martial arts fighter now! Carr: That very well could be the case! Phat is 6-4 overall and has proven that his hands hurt when they hit! Most of his fights end early and that may very well be the case against Wanker! Phat has the weight advantage against Wanker and a few more fights under his belt as well! Both of these fighters are 21 years old so they’re hungry and wanting to prove themselves! When I spoke with Phat, I’m not sure if it was the lights in the room or just my eyes, but it seemed like there were spinning colored orbs around the guy! It was very difficult to conduct an interview with him, quite frankly, and the other members of The Stepdads that were there just smiled and chuckled, as if they knew some secret or something! Ball: Spinning colored orbs!? Carr, you’ve been watching too much Project Blue Book or something! I dig his entrance song, though. A Tribe Called Quest is one of the most iconic rap groups to have ever performed, and it’s a damn shame that Phife Dawg died! They were damn good! “Onanisten” is 3-4 entering this fight, and the Denmark product and UnderGround Fights Enterprise member currently has a 2-fight win streak, both by submission, and he looked sharp against Eddie Alpha at Rapid Fighting Championship Showdown in Tokyo 18! He’s obviously looking to carry that momentum over to try and earn a third win in a row against Phat! He’ll have to be ready for Phat’s kicks, and if he can avoid taking too many of those, as well as staying away from those heavy hands, he may be able to take this fight to the ground and frustrate Phat into making a mistake that he can capitalize on! Carr: I remember A Tribe Called Quest very well! I first heard them when I was in junior high school, and I vividly recall how smart and funny their lyrics were! For that fact, which really has nothing to do with anything in this fight, I’m going to take Phat to win by knockout! Ball: I think you’re choosing him to win because you tripped out when you spoke with him with that colored spinning orb business, so I’m going with Wanker because anyone with that last name has to be tough! Wanker by submission! PREDICTIONS: Ball – Wanker by Submission; Carr – Phat by Knockout Carr: Up next we have the speed demons in the featherweight division! Zhang Jun and Uriah Chin will undoubtedly pick up the pace of the evening when they do battle! Ball: They definitely will! Both of these fighters are lightning in a bottle and if you blink, you might miss something spectacular! Carr: Jun, of the FinnFighters, sports a 2-0 record with a nasty ground game! Both of his victories have been by submission, and he’ll obviously look to extend that streak to three against Chin! His last fight against Uther Lightbringer was over in the first round, so his ground game is definitely improving steadily, and that could be very bad news for Chin! Ball: Chin is taller and heavier, and I fully expect him to use both of those attributes to his advantage! One thing I will say about this blue blood is he sure as hell likes to fight! Maybe people talk about his favorite soccer team in a bad way and that riles him up enough to challenge them to a fight! When he first hit the Quick Fight Championship scene, he was fighting basically once every couple of months! That’s impressive, and a bit crazy, but then again, some of our brothers and sisters from England are known to be a bit off! He recently overcame a 3-fight losing streak by making Theodore Nouveau tap out at Rapid Fighting Championship 38, so he’s feeling good and looking to stretch that streak! I think his height and weight help him land solid punches and win this fight by knockout! Carr: Even though he’s only had two fights, I like what I’ve seen from Jun in the ground game! I think he’ll use Chin’s height against him and focus on one of his long limbs, keep him off-balance, and twist that limb until Chin can’t take it anymore! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Jun by Submission; Ball – Chin by Knockout Carr: Marcin Cutlas and Tim “Lovable Sex” Drive enter the cage next, and Cutlas is, if nothing else, a gym rat! Sure, he’s only had two fights in which he won both, but the guy is a fitness fanatic! Various LEGION OF DOOM members tell me that the guy eats, sleeps and lives training, and it shows! His most recent victory over Coiote Magrin was a first-round TKO by strikes because he was absolutely relentless! Ball: Hold on a second! This dude’s nickname is “Lovable Sex”!? Carr: You heard me right, Ball! “Lovable Sex”. Ball: I don’t know if this is the right industry for him, Carr! Maybe he wants to be an adult movie star!? With a nickname like that, there are numerous possibilities! Moving on, Drive is 2-2 who has victories with his hands and with submissions, so he’s a well-rounded fighter despite only being 21-year-old! None of his fights have gone past the second round, so this matchup is excellent because he’ll have his aggression level matched by Cutlas! Both of these fighters are basically the same size, so desire and skill will be the deciding factors in this one! Drive is a little older so he may have a slight experience edge, but I wouldn’t put too much on that. Carr: Physically they match up on paper, but I think Cutlas has the definitive edge with his level of fitness, and I think that, coupled with his aggression, will be the deciding factor in this fight, and I choose him to win this by knockout! Ball: I’ll have to go with Drive, then, despite my uncertainty about his nickname, because I think his experience makes the difference in that cage! If he establishes his jab early and often, that’ll prevent Cutlas from rushing in for any takedown attempts, and that will be the key! PREDICTIONS: Ball – Drive by Knockout; Carr – Cutlas by Knockout Ball: Balagot Liu and Saul “Slash” Hudson keep the action going, and Liu is off to a good start to his young career with a 2-0 record! This young fighter from Bangkok is well-schooled in muay thai, as is no surprise because Thailand produces numerous excellent muay thai fighters! In my opinion, he holds a major edge in the standup game due to his years of muay thai training! He’s a methodical fighter who gradually wears opponents down, and his last battle against Banma Zhang ended in a split decision win. That’s not a definitive win, but it’s a win nonetheless, and I’m sure Liu’s trainers have worked with him on being more aggressive and trying to end fights earlier! Carr: “Slash” is seven years older, and I consider that to be an advantage. However, I had a chance to speak with Hudson’s trainers earlier, and some of them said they were a bit concerned with Hudson’s mood! After all, he has lost his last two fights, and Ru Shi Wu Cao, who we all know will be in the first fight of the night for a shot at the Lightweight Title, made pretty quick work of Hudson! Granted, Cao is an excellent fighter and potential soon-to-be-champion, but to lose like that is still tough! Having more fights under his belt will also help, but his trainers just didn’t strike me as being too confident in their fighter, and that’s always bad news! Ball: Bad with a capital b! These fighters have to figure out what is it that will get them motivated and stick to that, even if they lose! It’s paramount to have the right attitude in that cage! That being said, I’ll go with the young pup because he’s hungrier and wants to prove himself! Liu by knockout! Carr: I’ll have to go with you on that, Ball, because Hudson didn’t have the eye of the tiger, so to speak, and I can’t feel confident in picking a fighter who just isn’t hungry! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Liu by Knockout; Ball – Liu by Knockout Carr: The second-to-last fight of the night focuses on Skjoldr Leifsson vs.”The Unstoppable” Kostas Mitros! Let me tell you, Ball, that Leifsson is an intense dude! When I spoke with him earlier, he took every opportunity he could to yell about recent win over William Bonin by first round submission at Rapid Fighting Championship Showdown in Tokyo 17! His trainers would just laugh and shake their head but they let dude yell, so I guess that’s a part of his deal! He also has some kind of pulsing light about him, as weird as that sounds! I wonder if his fellow Vendetta members see that too? Ball: What’s with you, Carr!? Pulsing lights, spinning colorful orbs!? I don’t know what the hell you’re drinking and eating here in Sydney, but you need to put it down! Carr: I’m not eating or drinking anything strange! I’m just telling you what it is I see! Ball: Well, whatever your trip is, stop it! Mitros is brash because that’s one hell of a nickname, but this Greek combatant and member of The Stepdads is an even 2-2! In his last fight against Samuel Westcliff at Rapid Fighting Championship Showdown in Tokyo 16, he lost in the first round, so I wonder if that had any negative effect on his psyche! Then again, none of his fights have gone past the first round, so it probably doesn’t make a difference to him! He has one gear, and he’s going to test Leifsson with that speed, aggression and determination! Carr: I think Leifsson can force this fight beyond the first round, and he’ll do it by counter-attacking Mitros to keep him off balance, plus make him use his energy with his aggressiveness, and when Mitros presents an opening, Leifsson will shoot in, take the fight to the mat, and he’ll control the action there while systematically working to get a submission! I pick Leifsson to win by submission! Ball: I’m definitely more in preference of a standup fighter, and I think Mitros has the advantage on the feet! His hands are sharp and his kicks just plain hurt, and I think his kicks will make a difference in this fight because they’ll keep Leifsson from shooting in for the takedown, and Mitros may opt to try and clinch Leifsson up and keep him in the clinch while working some muay thai and dirty boxing! I choose Mitros by knockout in this one! Plus, his entrance is a Tupac song, and who can’t like that!? PREDICTIONS: Ball – Mitros by Knockout; Carr – Leiffson by Submission Carr: And that brings us to the final fight of the night! Littel “Fist” Big and Malachi “The Lightning” Bolton will wrap up the evening’s events, and this one is for bragging rights as both of these young men are members of Heritage! Ball: It figures that we have an inter-alliance fight to top it all off! I don’t care what anyone says, these types of situations are awkward because you know both of these fighters will be working out together at some point in time, and one of them may say something the other doesn’t like, then boom! You’ve got another fight on your hands! Carr: That’s possible, sure, but I’d assume the other Heritage members could keep these young tigers from getting into it outside of the cage! Big is not only making his Rapid Fighting Championship debut, but the 20-year-old Canadian is also having his first ever fight! That’s just added pressure and incentive for him to do well against his fellow alliance member! He definitely doesn’t want to start off with a loss because he’d never hear the end of it! Ball: I know I’d be hazed every day until I earned my first victory if I lost my first fight, especially to a teammate! Bolton obviously has an experience edge in this fight despite him being 1-2 overall at this point! His two losses have been by submission and knockout, so it’s hard to gauge if he’s more susceptible to the ground game or a solid punch! He’s displayed some solid muay thai techniques and my assumption for this fight is he’ll try to counter-attack Big to keep him off balance and then go for the takedown and control the fight on the ground! I’m not sure if he can throw hands with Big so look for him to use kicks to score points and keep Big at a distance! Since he’s the more experienced fighter, he’s my pick for this battle! Bolton by submission! Carr: I’ll take the chance on the unproven youngster! He’s had plenty of time to study his Heritage teammate and work with is trainers to prepare specifically for any flaws seen with Bolton’s fighting skills! I take Big by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Carr – Big by Knockout; Ball – Bolton by Submission Carr: That concludes another preview show with yours truly and the enlightened Chris Ball! As always, we thank all of you for joining us and if you’re feeling lucky, head on over to UnderGround Bets Rapid Betting and put some money down! Who knows, you may just get lucky! Ball: We also want to thank Dark Knight Nutrition for being the merchandise partner for our broadcasts! They still have the coolest frickin logo in the entire industry! Carr: For Chris Ball and myself, I’m Eric Carr, signing off, and we’ll see you at the fights!

RAPID FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWDOWN IN TOKYO 21 REVIEW HARD KNOCKS ARENA Xavier: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the recap of Rapid Fighting Championship Showdown in Tokyo 21! I’m your host, Esiah Xavier, and as always, joining me in the booth is Furious Styles! Styles: What’s goin’ on people!? Was that an intense night of fights or what!? Xavier: No doubt about it! There were some surprises as well, or at least, some surprises to the both of us, because our predictions weren’t exactly the most accurate! Styles: I definitely didn’t think some of these matches would end the way they did, but that’s the fight game, ladies and gents! When you put two warriors against each other in that cage, anything is possible, and that’s what we love about this industry! Xavier: Well said, Styles! The unpredictability of fights keeps things interesting, and the men who manage to overcome their opponent deserves to win and climb that ladder towards a title shot! Without further ado, let’s take a look at what went down! Styles: Four of the fights went the distance, which surprised me, quite frankly, because I thought there would be a lot more stoppages amongst these combatants! There was a draw, three tko’s, and two tapouts! Let’s get into the dirty details of exactly what went down! Xavier: The first fight was Martin Eugen vs. Thing Thing. Styles: Dude! Thing Thing let me down! I hyped him up with his unique name and that crazy green beard, but dude got dominated by Eugen! I definitely didn’t see that coming and I’m sure Thing Thing’s trainers aren’t too happy with the result either! Xavier: I have no doubt his trainers, like him, wanted a much different outcome, but he has a chance to redeem himself if he can get himself together! Also, let’s give credit where it’s due. Martin Eugen was primed and ready for this fight, and it showed from start to finish! In my opinion, his fighting experience and age paid off dividends against Thing in this fight! Having thirteen more fights can’t be underestimated, plus Eugen’s trainers did an excellent job of scouting Thing and adjusting Eugen’s training accordingly! Styles: In the opening round, this began as a clinch contest of sorts, but Thing got tired of that and took the fight to the ground! On the mat, no one really had any major advantage as there was a struggle for position, and any submission attempts were avoided. The second round saw most of the action on the mat again, and the struggle continued for positioning and effective submission attempts! Xavier: There was as a brief time when both men were in the standup, and Eugen tagged Thing on the chin with a solid right hand that opened up a small cut! There wasn’t much damage done but the ever-important points were scored, especially when neither man was able to finish the fight early! In the final round, Eugen was able to keep the fight on its feet for basically half the time, and he was much sharper with his movement and punches, and that obviously paid off because again, when the fight went to the ground, neither man was able to make the other submit before the final bell. This victory makes Eugen’s record a very respectable 18-4, while Thing’s record now stands at 6-3. Not bad, quite frankly, because it’s still a winning record, but I’m sure he’d prefer to be 7-2 and possibly considered for a title shot. Now, he’ll have to battle that much more to climb back into the title picture! Styles: I give credit to Eugen because he dd what he needed to do in terms of scoring points as well as ensuring he made no costly errors on the ground which Thing could take advantage of! A smart fight but not a very brutal one, as no serious blood was spilled nor were there any major shots absorbed by either man. Props to Eugen for the win, but I think the crowd was hoping for a bit more from Thing! Technically, neither one of us guessed the result correctly, so that goes to show you how much we know. RESULT: MARTIN EUGEN DEFEATS THING THING BY UNANIMOUS DECISION Styles: The next battle featured Sam Samuelson against Alzonz Appalusu! Many of us expected this fight to be decided on the ground, and we got exactly what we thought! Both of these men are far more comfortable battling on the mat as opposed to standing up on it, so this was a position battle, as well as a battle of wits, and both men have shown enough wit in their fights! Xavier: Agreed! Both of these warriors have the age and fight experience to match wits with any opponent, so this fight was a bit of a cat-and-mouse game with both men hoping that the other would make the one mistake that would allow the other to take full advantage of the mistake! In the first round, Appalusu was very aggressive with his multiple attempts at making Samuelson tap, and perhaps he was a bit too aggressive, because he spent a good amount of energy from the getgo, and Samuelson looked very calm and relaxed the entire time! Styles: I think Samuelson got caught up with trying to match Appalusu’s energy because he definitely increased his submission attempts as the first round progressed! The second round went straight to the ground so that removed any hope of a punch or kick being thrown! Both fighters slowed the pace and were far more methodical with their positioning and angling in attempts to lock one another in a submission, but it was Samuelson’s positioning and patience that won out in the end! Samuelson is now 12-7 and has an opportunity to strap gold around his waist when he battles Jormungand Bolverk! Xavier: Samuelson was patient while being in Appalusu’s defensive grasp, and when he saw his chance while in the half guard, he went for it! Appalusu wasn’t able to maintain the hold he had on Samuelson’s right foot, and once that foot came free, the rest was inevitable! Samuelson was able to maneuver himself into a kimura attempt and Thing wasn’t able to defend against it, and he was forced to tap out! “Boa” now stands 7-4, which is still a winning record, obviously, but we wonder how this loss will affect his psyche. Styles and I predicated a knockout by Samuelson, so we missed this prediction too. Not looking too good so far for either one of us! RESULT: SAM SAMUELSON DEFEATS ALZONZ APPALUSU BY KIMURA SUBMISSION Xavier: Edison Atunes vs. Michelangelo Di Lodovico surprised me a bit, I have to admit! As you all know, Styles predicted a knockout victory for Atunes, and for very good reason! He was, and still is, undefeated in his young career, but his previous fights were all first-round knockout victories! His opponent has proven himself to be a tough battle against anyone, and the 8-fight win streak definitely gave just cause for him to be picked as the winner of this fight! I definitely thought Di Lodovico was going to be able to take Atunes to the ground and make him tap, but Atunes had other plans! Styles: He definitely wasn’t trying to go along with Lodovico’s plan! I thought for sure that Atunes was going to tune up Lodovico’s jaw, so I have to give credit where it’s due! Lodovico didn’t get knocked out, and that’s saying something when you’re in the cage against a knockout artist! Atunes showed that he’s capable of adapting to his opponent and for those who had questions about his conditioning, as we all saw, the first-round wins didn’t change his training ethic, and he was able to finish this fight and finish it strong! Xavier: Atunes and Lodovico are definitely in tremendous shape, and the war they had was the Fight of the Night, and rightfully so! Di Lodovico was in trouble near the end of the first round when Atunes ran at him with a sudden burst of speed and landed a clean jab! Most people will wonder why absorbing a jab would cause a fighter to wobble! Well, when you have educated and heavy hands like Atunes, a so-called simple jab can prove to be quite an effective and damaging weapon! Styles: That’s absolutely right! How many fights did George Foreman win by landing a 1-2 combination repeatedly!? He would jab people and their knees would buckle because he hit so hard and with such precision! That’s what Atunes potentially has and that makes him dangerous in that cage! Lodovico was able to sustain himself and in the second round, he did his best to take the fight to the mat and keep it there. Once he got Atunes down, he definitely did what he could to make him tap, but Atunes was well-prepared for that onslaught and showed excellent composure and defense! Xavier: He absolutely did, and that’s an acknowledgment to his excellent trainers as well! In the third and final round, Lodovico definitely poured on the pressure of trying to tap out Atunes, but again, his preparation and calm kept him out of danger, and he managed to stall the attack enough to force the fight back to its feet! Once that happened, Atunes locked in the clinch and did what he needed to do for the victory! This win over Lodovico will definitely propel Atunes into the title conversation, plus it shows that he’s steadily improving in all aspects of the fight game! Styles: A win is a win, no doubt, but I wonder how many people bet on Atunes winning by knockout? Obviously I picked him to win by knockout, and I felt absolutely confident in that decision! Oh well, that’s the way it goes sometimes. Nonetheless, a great showing by both men and I have no doubt both of them will be in the title hunt, especially Atunes! Still undefeated at 6-0, Atunes is definitely climbing the ladder to a title fight very quickly, and I have no doubt his Convicted Inc. members are very proud of his performance! “Il Divino” is now a very good 10-3, and though this loss is a setback, I fully expect him to return to form and be back in the thick of the title hunt very soon! RESULT: ATUNES DEFEATS LODOVICO BY UNANIMOUS DECISION Styles: An intriguing fight was next when Obi Wan Kenobi, who’s obviously a major Star Wars fanatic, squared off against Robert Grandis! X and I both thought one of these fighters would get knocked the hell out, but as it turns out, not only was there not a knockout, there wasn’t a winner! Xavier: Like you, Styles, I was definitely very surprised by this fight! I wouldn’t be surprised if numerous people put money down that one of these fighters would kiss canvas before the night was over! Both of these warriors definitely did the best they could to end this fight early, but neither man could truly gain the upper hand, or at least, not in the eyes of the judges! This match was heavily debated in the MMA world because it absolutely could have gone either way, depending upon who watched the fight! Styles: It should be heavily debated, because a draw is rare, and I’ve not witnessed a draw that was agreed upon on all sides, really! In the opening round, the action was purely standup, fast and furious, and that’s what we like to see around these parts! Kenobi was solid from start to finish of the first round, displaying some excellent footwork, speed and precision! Grandis did what he could to lock Kenobi up in the clinch, and he was able to get the clinch, but only for short moments in time, and I think that surprised Grandis and may have thrown off a portion of his fight plan! Xavier: Perhaps, but Grandis adapted well in the second round and had a far better showing for himself, which, to me, swayed the opinion of the ringside judges! No doubt there were many people who thought Kenobi did enough to win the second round as well, but as we found out, that wasn’t the case! The third round was a test of endurance as well as the ability to dodge haymakers! Both men wanted to take the results out of the judges hands’ and just finish the fight, and they threw some heavy shots as the last round came to a close! Styles: It was definitely bombs away from both of them, and due to fatigue and great skills, both of them looked sloppy at times when they threw caution to the wind and tried for that home run hitter punch, but neither man was able to capitalize, and as the round came to a close, everyone in attendance gave them a well-deserved standing ovation! They left it all in the ring and that can only be respected! Xavier: Well said! Indeed these two combatants battled toe-to-toe the entire night and the pace never faltered! Both men gave one another a nod and fist bump of respect, and that’s very much appreciated by everyone as well! Obi Wan Kenobi moves to 5-1-3, and perhaps these two will lock horns in a rebound match in the near future! Styles: That would be awesome! I’d definitely want to see that because they both know each other far better now after a battle like that, and it would be interesting to see what they would change against the other man! Grandis is now 6-1-1 and will hopefully look to fight Kenobi again to settle unfinished business! RESULT: OBI WAN KENOBI AND ROBERT GRANDIS FIGHT TO A DRAW Styles: The next fight demonstrated that my inside information is valuable! I told everyone that Jones’ camp was worried about how hard he took the loss to Don Pelayo, and we each saw how distant he looked when he walked out from the locker room area to the cage! I’m telling you, X, if any man steps into that cage without the fire burning in his eyes, he’s in for one potentially painful and short night! Xavier: You’re absolutely right, Styles! Every ounce of your being has to be laser focused and ready for your opponent each and every time you step into battle! Anything short of that and there’s serious potential for dangerous results! We were on the same page with our predictions for this fight, and we were both right, technically. We both predicated a knockout, and the fight was stopped, so it was a TKO! Styles: A TKO is the same as a KO, to me! The bottom line is James Jones was on the mat while Tyrone Waters wasn’t, and that’s the bottom line! Xavier: ‘cause Stone Cold said so? Styles: Really, dude!? No, because I said so! What the hell? Anyway, Tyrone did what he had to do and he did it quickly! Rumor has it that I was right about him wanting to finish this fight fast so he could go to a bodybuilding competition! I wouldn’t be surprised if he won that, too! “T-Money” is now 5-3 with this victory and will definitely look to fight again soon so he can use the momentum from this win! Xavier: Well, if he did go to a bodybuilding competition after his fight, more power to him! He definitely didn’t need much time to finish Jones, because it was all said and done before the first round was over! As a result, he had plenty of time to shower and do whatever he intended to do! As for James Jones, he’s now a decent 5-3 overall, but losing two in a row definitely can’t be good for his morale, so hopefully he’s able to get himself together so he can have a better showing the next time we see him in the cage! RESULT: TYRONE WATERS DEFEATS JAMES JONES BY TKO Xavier: Next up we have Athos Knox versus Jake Bird! Styles: No one answered my question as to whether or not he’s related to Larry Bird! Xavier: Styles, just let it go, man! I’m sure if he was, you would’ve known by now! Styles: Maybe, or maybe Larry paid people off to keep that information on the down low! Xavier: I think you’re going a bit far with your conspiracy theory here! Styles: Let me do what I do and you just worry about analyzing fights! Xavier: Right. We expected Knox to be very aggressive in this fight because that’s his style! Styles: What? Xavier: What? Styles: You called me! Xavier: For crying out loud, I said style, not Styles! Styles: Whatever, man! I heard what you said! Xavier: Unbelievable! Anyway, as I was saying, Knox’s approach to his fights is very aggressive and straight forward! The fans really enjoy that style of fight because it puts tremendous pressure on both men in the cage, really, and they have to react and think very quickly on their feet! Styles: I definitely appreciate the smash-mouth style he takes because it ends fights quickly and with a flurry of punishment! That aggression, in my opinion, won this fight for Knox, because Bird was equally aggressive in the opening round! Both of these warriors looked to establish themselves early, and Bird was able to take the fight to the ground and keep it there, which was the smart approach! Knox is definitely much more comfortable in the standup, and it showed greatly in the second round! Xavier: That’s correct! Knox was able to keep the fight on its feet for about a minute in the second round, and that’s all he needed to help score the necessary points to take the round! Knox controlled the clinch, wore down Bird a bit by leaning on him, and scored a couple of nice shots before Bird managed to slip free and take the fight to the mat yet again! Bird tried to make Knox tap but Knox was a cool customer and kept Bird from taking advantage of his ground game skills! Styles: Yes he did, and he managed to slow things down enough to where the referee stood them up and Knox was able to land some clean punches after that! In the final round, Knox was able to assert himself aggressively and keep the fight on its feet! He finally managed to lock Bird into the clinch and he took full advantage of that situation! He landed head and body shots that kept Bird off balance and unable to drag Knox to the mat! It was obvious that Knox had the advantage, especially in the clinch, and Bird’s face showed his frustration! Xavier: He was definitely a mask of frustration as he wasn’t able to break free of the clinch to try and again take the fight to the ground! With this victory, Knox moves his record to an even 2-2, while “The Tacoma Ax-Killer” is now 2-1. I’m sure we’ll be seeing both of these fighters again in the near future as they continue to push for higher ground and ranking! RESULT: ATHOS KNOX DEFEATS JAKE BIRD BY UNANIMOUS DECISION Xavier: Moving right along to the next fight that featured Jesse Kotkaniemi vs. Gaga Gogo! Styles and I thought Kotkaniemi was going to win this fight by knockout because, according to Styles’ sources, Gogo wasn’t mentally ready for this fight, opting to eat ice cream and binge watch TV shows! Surprisingly, Kotkaniemi didn’t drop Gogo as we expected, so some credit has to be given to Gogo! Styles: Credit!? I’m not so sure about that! Yeah, he survived the match without getting his clock cleaned, but he did lose! I’m telling you, people, you either have your head on straight in this business, or you’re going to end up on the wrong side of a beat down! For all three rounds, Kotkaniemi took the fight to the ground and simply dominated! Outside of one submission attempt in the third round, Gogo was basically lifeless and just did enough to hold on and not get finished! I don’t know what his trainers can say to him to get him on the right path, but they need to think of something soon or he’s really going to be in a world of hurt! Xavier: No doubt about it! I’m sure Kotkaniemi was hoping for more of a showing, but against an opponent who has basically checked out, it’s very difficult to fully be engaged! He did a solid job of taking care of business, and as a reward, he now has a record of 5-3! Gogo drops to an even 2-2, and time will tell how this loss affects him. For his sake, I hope he’s able to get his act together! Styles: I’m sure his boys at Heritage will be all over him to make sure he snaps out of it and represents himself, and them, much better! “The Grinder” needs to get it together or he’ll end up being grinded right out of the title picture! RESULT: JESSE KOTKANIEMI DEFEATS GAGA GOGO BY UNANIMOUS DECISION Styles: Now this fight between Xavier Blackblood and Brad Faraimo was more my speed! Not only is Blackblood one of the coolest last names in MMA, but he also likes to beat opponent’s down quickly and efficiently! I thought for sure you’d pick Blackblood to win, X, because you have the same name! Well, sort of! Maybe you should’ve listened to me because as it turns out, I was right! Xavier: You were right in picking Blackblood to win by knockout, there’s no denying that! As you know, I picked “The Bohemoth” to win this fight, and quite frankly, I’m stunned by his performance! It seems Blackblood’s aggression was too much for Faraimo to handle, which is shocking, because Faraimo appeared to be ready for this fight! I wonder if he held back because he was fighting a fellow Stepdads alliance member? Styles: Maybe he did, but right after this loss, he had a falling out with his trainers and management, and as it turns out, he’s a free agent! I’m sure someone will take a chance on the big man with plenty of pop in his hands! Xavier: Agreed! It’s not every day you have a chance to manage a heavyweight with his kind of power! Styles: This fight was brutal and bloody, and maybe the bleeding that Faraimo suffered was a factor in his performance! Blackblood’s hands and aim were on point, but it was a nasty right knee to Faraimo’s skull that opened up the cut to begin with! Faraimo didn’t seem too fazed by that, but as the round continued, Blackblood saw another opportunity to blast that cut with his right knee, and he jumped all over that chance! Xavier: Faraimo wasn’t ready for the knees in the clinch that Xavier brought to the right, and it cost him dearly! Despite being cut pretty badly, he mustered the strength to push Blackblood back and slip out of the clinch, but he wound up eating a brutal right cross that floored him! Blackblood played it cautiously and waited for Faraimo to pick himself up off the mat, and that turned out to be the smart move! Styles: Yeah it was! He got a chance to catch his breath quickly before launching another series of strikes, and once again, he was able to lock in the clinch, blast Fairamo’s skull with his right knee, and that made the blood pour down his face! Since he had so much luck with the knee strikes, he stuck with it and that was the beginning of the end! Xavier: One final powerful knee to the head dropped Faraimo and Blackblood didn’t wait for him to stand up this time! He could sense the end was near and he pounced on him, raining down punch after punch until the referee had no choice but to stop the fight! Blackblood’s knee strikes moved him to 3-1 and increases his case for a rise in the rankings! His victory even earned him the KO Of The Night award! As for Brad, he’s 2-2 and waiting for perhaps a new manager who can help guide him to a more successful path! We’ll see what happens with him! RESULT: XAVIER BLACKBLOOD DEFEATS BRAD FARAIMO BY TKO Xavier: This next fight was a blur, and before anyone really settled in, it was over! Styles: Yeah it was! We both picked Ray Vision to win by knockout, and he did win, but not by knockout! Hey, X! Do you think he did so well because I called him an X-Man!? Xavier: I highly doubt that, Styles! Ray Vision did so well because he was well prepared! You calling him an X-Man is rather irrelevant! Styles: How do you know!? Maybe I pumped him up and he walked into that cage thinking he was an unstoppable mutant! Xavier: Styles, please! Get over yourself! Styles: Sorry, can’t do that! I’m too cool! Xavier: Lord help me. Styles: I have to give him even more credit because you know my sources told me that he and his training team got into it just a couple of days before the fight! For him to get it together in time for this fight and have the showing he did, that’s major! Xavier: He definitely deserves a world of credit for what he was able to achieve! We did both pick Vision to win this fight, but we didn’t see him winning by submission! Styles: It’s not too often you see a super heavyweight lock in a submission because most of them are expected to stand up and throw major heat! When Vision ate that big right cross counter and it cut him, I thought he was definitely in trouble, but he obviously proved me wrong! Xavier: Vision avoided further damage, locked in a clinch, and took Theron to the mat where he was helpless to defend against Vision’s skills and determination! Vision even apologized to Theron prior to locking him into a knee submission! Who does that!? Then he said he’s coming for his title! I respect that confidence! For his efforts, he was also rewarded with the Submission Of The Night! Styles: I dig dude’s style! “Death” is now 6-4, and he and Heritage were partying after that victory! Theron loses his first battle with his new management and training team, but don’t count out the 20-year-old just yet! RESULT: RAY VISION DEFEATS BALTHAZAR THERON BY KNEEBAR SUBMISSION Styles: Our final battle of the evening was between Harri Hurja and Marcus St. Stone! I have to be honest ladies and gentlemen! I truly thought this was going to be a quick victory for Stone because of what my sources said about Hurja’s emotional state! Dude wasn’t looking like a fighter who’s getting ready for war, but I’ll just be damned! The dude brought it when the chips were down! Xavier: I, too, absolutely thought Stone would be able to have his way with Hurja because any fighter not primed and ready is a much easier target, or at least, that’s the mainstream thinking! After seeing Hurja’s effort, maybe I need to change the way I think! Starting off the right with a stiff jab that opened a cut on Stone’s head set the tone for the entire fight, quite frankly! Styles: No doubt! It’s bad news for a fighter to bleed from being hit with a jab, but some dudes just have hard, heavy hands, and it looks like Hurja’s one of those dudes! The way I saw it, Stone was far too aggressive in trying to cinch, and Hurja was able to see that coming a mile away! Even when Stone managed to clinch, Hurjas broke it quickly and wound up opening that cut even more with a very clean straight left! Xavier: That shot seemed to slow Stone down quite a bit because he took punches and kicks unnecessarily while still trying to lock in a clinch! I’m not sure what he or his trainers were thinking, but he paid the price for his aggression! He ate yet another big left hand that rocked him backwards, and he tried to run and gather himself, but Hurja was all over him and it was a done deal! He rained punch after punch until the referee had no choice but to stop it! Styles: Hurja smelled and saw blood, and he moved in the way a warrior should to finish someone off! “Double H” now stands with a 4-2 record and is no doubt feeling very good about himself! He and the other UnderGround Fights Enterprise were definitely in a partying mood after this fight! “Lifecoach” drops to 4-8, and he may need some life coaching himself after this loss! The Evil Empire will certainly have something to say about his fight and maybe they’ll be able to help him get back on track! Xavier: There you have it, ladies and gentlemen! We hope you enjoyed this review of Rapid Fighting Championship in Tokyo 21, and please join us later this week when Styles and I preview Rapid Fighting Championship in Tokyo 22 on August 31st!

Don't think it's a great idea to feature a tournament that will highlight one of the biggest engine flaws in the game when lighter wc take on heavier wc. It'd be like David vs Goliath if David was on EPO and Goliath was in a gimp suit.

Bloodbath Fighting Championship (345k+) http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/1561935145mUENjU2.png BloodBath 3: Perrez v Correa was a mixed martial arts event held by Bloodbath Fighting Championship. This event took place on August 3, 2019 in The Underground Arena in Montreal, Canada. This event was brought to you by Arcticus University: London, the official fight gear of the Bloodbath Fighting Championship. [Official Review] http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1562713990PRM18iV.png [undercard Review] -[Featherweight Divison: Darren Dixon vs. Nasty Jones Round 1 – Nasty Jones came out wild and aggressive and Darren Dixon made him pay for every mistake. Every failed punch resulted in crisp, technical counters that were busting Jones up early. Dixon tagged Jones with a beautiful counter uppercut that hurt him badly. When Jones went down, Dixon jumped into his guard and effortlessly advanced position until he took the man's back. In a panic, Jones rolled and Dixon locked in the rear naked choke for the win. Darren Dixon def. Nasty Jones via Submission (RNC) at 1:53 of round 1. -[Middleweight Divison: Ned Kelly vs. Ife Edwards Round 1 – The fighters traded jabs in the early moments of this fight. Kelly seemed to be cut from the early exchange with Edwards. Kelly pushed forward with more aggressive strikes while Edwards picked his shots from the outside. Kelly pushed forward with more aggression towards the end of the round, keeping Edwards on the defensive. Round 2 – More of the same as Ned Kelly pushed forward with punches in bunches and Ife Edwards stayed on the outside picking his shots. For every two or three strikes thrown by Kelly, Edwards would fire back with one power shot. Kelly started to get sloppy, pushing forward midway through the round and ate a monster head kick from Ife Edwards! Kelly went down but got back to his feet. Hurt and rocked, Ned Kelly pushed forward with strikes and walked right into a big counter combination from Ife Edwards! Ife Edwards def. Ned Kelly via KO (Punches) at 2:59 of round 2. -[Lightweight Divison: Mike Davies vs. Victor McCann Round 1 – Seventeen fight veteran Mike Davies opened this fight with a big left hook that rattled undefeated newcomer Victor McCann. The latter responded by shooting on Davies, bringing him to the ground and landing in his guard. Davies showed his experience, kicking McCann away and climbing back to his feet. As Davies began circling away and picking his shots, McCann rushed forward with another takedown, landing in guard once again. McCann tried to load up with ground and pound and Davies escaped to his feet for the second time. As McCann darted forward looking to regain the grappling, Davies tagged him with a big one-two combination! Davies went down and Davies jumped into his guard, looking to finish. Upon realizing that his opponent wasn't as wounded as he had prognosticated previously, Davies tried to back out of guard but soon found himself with a hyper-extended left arm! Davies was a proven finisher in his youth but all of that experience worked against him as he got over eager to find his finish in this fight. Victor McCann def. Mike Davies via Submission (Armbar) at 2:58 of round 1. -[Super-Heavyweight Divison: Jon Bones vs. Takahiro Shirai Round 1 – Bones came out looking to score an early takedown but Shirai was having none of it. Bones telegraphed his second attempt and ate a big right hand for his trouble. Upon failing his third shot, a visibly winded Bones walked right into a big punching combination from Shirai and went down hard! Bones staggered to his feet bloody and exhausted. Shirai tagged him with a big overhand right a la Roy Nelson that put the lights out at once. Takahiro Shirai def. Jon Bones via KO (Punch) at 0:41 of round 1. -[Light-Heavyweight Divison: Keiran Looez vs. Freddie Daisy Round 1 – Looez wasted no time in shooting on Daisy, landing in side control on top and going to work advancing position. Looez advanced to full mount and began working light ground and pound. Daisy managed to wall walk and circle away but was quickly taken down again. This time, Looez went to work with ground and pound much more quickly. Daisy used the cage to stand once again and circled away like before. Sensing that his opponent was gassing from the takedown attempts, Freddie Daisy pushed forward with punches and hurt Keiran Looez badly. As Looez shot in with a badly telegraphed double leg attempt, Daisy clipped him with a big right hand that left him face down and snoring. Freddie Daisy def. Keiran Looez via KO (Punch) at 3:16 of round 1.

Hi Guys, I'm new on here and just joined the game, I've Taken out Vip and just started a new business. Just read some of the comments on here Should I be worried?? Personally I think the game is a fantastic concept and there's really no other game like it on the market, if you can get your head around the fact that you have to wait day to day, week to week, for things to happen on here. Personally I don't mind. I've been approached by a couple of event organisers and have fixed up fights for some of my fighters already. So far I'm pretty impressed, Hopefully as a new player/ business owner I can look forward to some much needed support to try and succeed... ?

Updates are not the reason why people are not playing anymore. It's the fact that the things that are around, are not working and that is quite frustrating. Auto flights are still active, some twgc divs still have 0 fighters(also no money to being a grappling champion), QFC's that take 2 weeks to start, auto order feature that does not work, multis, laundry, pretending the improvements forum section is relevant, lacking a proper intro(tutorial) to the game, etcs. These are not issues that require a game upgrade, just some maintenance or interest. No need for a proper development team to sort this out, just some administration.

IMO I think the game is great as is. Would updates be welcomed? Of course but the way I see it for the most part is if bugs arent a serious issue then the game running on current standard should be good enough. Now again that's just me as I'm an easy go with the flow type of guy and I enjoy the game. I been here 2 years and what i do know i pass on to anyone who asks questions and what i dont know i do my best to find and learn then pass that on as well. I think the serious reason why the game seems lack luster is the mentor process. I personally accept anyone who asks but i dont know about others and of those who do I dont know if they give their wisdom out or expect them to learn themselves which is a big issue for new people. This is just my little rant and opinion but I'm happy to share it with all of you whether you agree or disagree is your choice

Every fighter in that tournament has exact same amount of skills points. You can only enter newly created fighters and you can't train before entering tournament. Why do you think he has double stats? He has same amount of skill points he just spread them differently.

Or, instead of complaining about the game being rigged, you start reading some guides on tutorials about fighter builds, how to set sliders, so on and so forth. Or did you think you were going to be gods gift to MMAT and come and know everything on your first day?

http://mmatycoon.com/scoutfight.php?fida=312691&fidb=320538 AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH what a fight. Camara you're such trash lol.

http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15022514001714.jpg http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15085530571140.png There was some controversy surrounding our Dynamic Duo this recent week. Abigail Analheart met up with the notorious camp in order to clear the air !! Here is her story ! AA: Chris Steve ! Such an honor to finally meet you. Oh my God ! You eating everything in sight, what is going on with your diet? The Revenant: Well Empire has a new owner, some Alfred PowerBottom III guy. He gave us 3 choices: 1) Superfight 2) Go Up 3) Go Down AA: Oh lord, that means you absolutely cleaned up your division. Congratulations that was the most stacked division in the game ! The Revenant: I guess. Well I ain't never going Down so my only choice was Up ! AA: Meaning the 185 Division?? That is amazing! So when do you fight for that belt? The Revenant: I don't know, Alfred did all the dealing with my nigga Ibrahim. You better axe him yourself ! Camara: YO YO , wHATTUP bITCH ? AA: Omg if it isn't LEGENDARY manager/top 50 P4P fighter Ibrahim "The Marauder" Camara ! Such an honor Sir ! Camara: YO YO AA: Rumors are circulating that you were offered the #1 P4P matchup and that you declined?? Camara: Steve is not ready yet for that fight. He is on a plane to Riga, Latvia to trane at the famous Humors gym. I'm gonna be dead honest here, I seriously doubt the 2 will cross paths. I have fighters in all of the top orgs and apart from pretty posters the divisions at SYN are pretty shallow. Lookie look oooooh let's get excited for Rocket Bob Frankfurt vs Kimbo Slice 19 oooooh aaaaaaah FUCK OUTTA HERE. AA: Steve, back to you. Why did you guys take this fight vs an unranked opponent? The Revenant: Alfred said he had a Tuna fight for us. Camara: I love Tuna. AA: You mean Tune Up ? Camara: Yeah whatever. Look lady, call it whatever you want. This was the fight we got in order to get to that negro Luc Gagnon. AA: Oh I see, hmm that sexy Gagnon. Yessss I know him very well. Camara: Did he GAPE you yet? AA: So there you have it fans ! Steve is not dodging, he is simply doing a Tuna fight with some other black guys because black people like Tuna ! Camara: Oh and stay tuned for a full hour upcoming Podcast on all things Camara ! More to CUM !

Ah there we go Now you got the right account Alex K. To be totally honest I did thank you for my time in SYN when I declined to renew my contract. Like I said on the other thread I got nothing against SYN but compared to the other 2 big ones you guys don’t really move the needle much these days. No more Super Nova type events with videos, no activity in forums (do you guys even have a thread?) and your divisions are pretty shallow. Well now that we know Alex the cheater runs it well that don’t help much. When a bunch of 25 year olds from a tourney started 6 months ago fill your P4P top list you know you haven’t been recruiting top talent. Most those are gonna get discarded the second 350k rolls over. My $0.02

Guess we'll see. Shows how much you know, fool. Keep your shitty opinions to yourself, if you haven't got a clue what you're talking about/the situation of the game.

You did the exact same thing you punk!! Keeping hostage and not replyiing. Getting a kick out of being a dick, must be your thing!

Sure, I'm sure Alfred won't have any issue w/ the fight considering both are RISE fighters. I win and lose like a man, not a little bitch like Camara, let's go.

I hate people that misuse the word “literally” , care to try that diarrhea you call a paragraph again?

The Conflicted crew say Frankie is the original Synchronicifail main guy. Ima ask Karter, maybe we can put this beta back to work on the game.

You are very talented and this is a really good deal for starting managers that cannot afford good art for the ridiculous prices that sometimes get thrown around here.

Just remembered Hiroshame Nagasucky has never tested. Here is to can moonwalk hiddens or likes Musicals haha 2 of my favorite fighters are about to step on the octagon, Poirier and Khabib ! these guys are just like me , only fighting the best of the best ! A year ago i was the underdog (Poirier) and today I stand as the soon to become best in the game (Khabib) TO ALL MY MUSLIM BROTHERS IM SHA ALLAH , KEEP CONQUERING EUROPE ! Go Team Camara!

So Frankie boy loved the game but dropped out because Mike wouldn’t throw some VIP his way? I’ve honestly never paid for VIP , I have for extra fighter slots but not VIP. It’s easy enough enough to generate Tycoon dollars to trade for it. And I haven’t needed Tycoon dollars since I outplayed Jarmas and took over Island FC, lol now THAT was pure genius. But maybe that market was not established enough back then and this forgotten genius could not afford $10 Lolol Then again if Master Humors vouches for this guy then he’s ok. The only guy that I knew helped with programming was Wolf and his butt boi Aaron but maybe Frankie did help .... The mystery deepens just like my penetration on the Stepdads , s birdie told me beta Luc Gagnon is ready for another beating
