MADNESS 36: DAVIDSON VERSUS ANDRADE PREVIEW HARD KNOCKS – MONTREAL Xavier: Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! I’m your special guest host, Esiah Xavier, and with me in the booth as always is my effervescent and outspoken broadcast partner and friend, Furious Styles! Styles: What’s up X, and what’s up Montreal!? It’s been a very long time since I’ve been in the land of the North, X! Xavier: I didn’t know you had been to Canada before, Styles. Styles: I’m a well-traveled man, X, an international player, if you will! I’ve definitely had some great adventures in Canada and in this beautiful city! I love the way some of these fine ladies speak French here in Montreal! Xavier: I should’ve known you’d take it there! Styles: Of course I will! I love the ladies, you know that! Xavier: I know that all too well, believe me! We were in Empyrean for one week and already we had letters and emails sent to Empyrean management about your behavior in Los Angeles! I’m shocked they let both of us stay there to continue broadcasting our previews of their events! Styles: Like Denzel Washington’s charter in Training Day said, it’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove! None of those ladies could prove anything because I’m smarter than them and told them they had to turn off all electronic devices before taking a walk on the wild side with me! Xavier: I’m not even going to embark down that line of questioning. Anyway, there are 3,000 rabid MMA fans in attendance here at the Hard Knocks arena in Montreal! Styles: I know we started getting used to the 92,000 plus fans that attended Empyrean events, but I have to give it up to the 3,000 here tonight! They’re crazy loud and are very supportive of the fighters they back! I respect that! Also, I do like the spinning Joker thing that’s outside of the arena! That’s awesome! Xavier: Spinning Joker thing? Out of all the vocabulary you know and utilize, thing is the best you could come up with? Styles: Close your trap, X! My mind is on other things! Xavier: I’m not even going to ask. Tonight there are four championship fights, Styles! Count them. Four! Styles: Four!? Holy crap! That’s awesome because that could shift the focus of four different divisions in one night! This is going to be one hell of a card! Xavier: It absolutely will be! Let’s get down to business! There will be a total of 10 fights with two of them being in the Bantamweight division, one of which is for the Bantamweight title! There will also be one Featherweight fight, three Lightweight fights with one of them being for the Lightweight title! The sole Middleweight fight is for the Middleweight championship! We have two Light Heavyweight fights with one of them being for the Light Heavyweight title, and rounding out the action will be the big guns as the Super Heavyweight division makes an appearance! Styles: That’s a fantastic representation of various divisions and the fans will be in for one hell of a treat as we’ll see different approaches to battle, different speeds, strengths, and maneuverability! I can’t wait! Xavier: Kicking off this outstanding night of action will be Quintet Tarantino and Frank Till! Styles: Tarantino? Do you think he’s related to Quentin Tarantino!? That dude’s such a bad ass director! Xavier: I don’t know but that would be very cool if he was! Styles: Yeah it would be because I could see if he could get me a date with Salma Hayek! Xavier: Keep dreaming! Tarantino steps into this fight with an unblemished 4-0 record! The purple Mohawk sporting warrior from Hollywood, California, represents the FinnFighters and had an excellent run in the QFC Tournament 932 circuit! He’s obviously a submission-focused fighter who is working steadily to improve upon his standup skills, and he’ll need them against the standup-focused Frank Till! Despite being shorter and younger, I think Tarantino will be able to withstand the standup capabilities that Till has because one, Tarantino has shown a propensity to get the fight to the ground and control the action there! In addition, I saw both of these fighters earlier this evening, Styles, and I have to tell you that Till looks like he just ran a marathon! Styles: Seriously!? He’s stepping into a fight inside of a cage against an opponent who wants to hurt him as quickly and as severely as possible without having the energy to truly hold up in battle!? Xavier: I’m just telling you what I saw, Styles! Styles: Now that’s a damn shame! He should at least be well rested before a fight! Who trains until they can barely stand before a fight!? Xavier: He does, apparently. Another advantage that Tarantino has is he’s shorter than Till and that will help him lock in various submissions easier because it’s easier to manipulate longer limbs than short ones. Styles: That’s very true, X! I don’t even know what to say about Till! He’s 2-1 so far in his yong career but if he keeps stepping into fights looking like just played a full game of hockey with the Canadiens then he’s going to find that winning record become a losing one very fast! Normally I’d say he has a good advantage with his height because he can utilize his long legs to chop away at Tarantino’s legs, but if he’s too tired then he won’t have the speed to use those kicks plus they’ll be as hard as a wet noodle hitting a wall because he’ll have no strength behind them! I don’t know what’s going on with the Tucson, Arizona product, but he’d better get himself together and fast! For his sake, I hope this fight ends quickly so he can figure out what the hell he wants to do with himself! Xavier: I unfortunately have to concur, Styles! This fight will be over fast and hopefully Till gets his head straight and starts to take care of himself much better! In light of that, this prediction is easy to make. Tarantino wins by submission. Styles: Absolutely! Tarantino gets the tapout with ease tonight! PREDICTIONS: Styles – Tarantino by Submission; Xavier – Tarantino by Submission Styles: On to the next battle where the big sides of beef known as Super Heavyweights step into the cage and make the cage rumble and roll beneath their feet! Barnum Mann and Jasper Collins locks horns in this fight! “The Mountain” Mann makes his MMA debut tonight and that’s one hell of a tall order, no pun intended! To step right into an organization without having at least one fight, be it QFC or elsewhere, is pretty damned ballsy because the fighter and the management team don’t know exactly what they’re workin’ with! I guarantee you, though, Mann’s going to find out what he’s about as he squares off against Collins! Mann is one big son of a bitch, though, and I assume that anyone he hits is going to get hurt! That could very well be enough in this fight! From the training footage we’ve seen and from the fight footage we’ve seen from Collins, Mann might be very well served to counterattack Collins with precision striking while trying to lock him into a clinch! If Mann gets the clinch then he can lean his weight on Collins plus, potentially, do some solid damage if he can sit some power behind his weight when he strikes! Xavier: “Revolutionary” Collins is a perfect 3-0 so far in his young career! This member of the Tycoon Alliance will have some fans on his side for the mere fact that he lives and trains right here in Montreal, so he could very well perform above and beyond his usual abilities because at least part of the crowd will be behind him! The Denmark warrior from Bjorgentown has shown a propensity for dropping his opponents with vicious, brutal power, specifically in his fists! Needless to say, Mann is going to have to keep his guard up and try to bob and weave as best as possible because if his striking defense and footwork aren’t solid, this could be a very painful and short night! Collins has knocked out two of three opponents in the first round so he likes to get in, drop hammers, and go home! That aggression is a benefit as long as Mann doesn’t use that against him! However, if Mann is able to counterattack Collins’ punches, that will prove to be a major issue because I don’t think Collins has taken the time to learn how to use his tree trunk legs as weapons yet and kick effectively! In light of that, if Mann decides to chop away at Collins’ legs then Collins will have a very difficult time landing power punches because his foundation will be unbalanced and under constant attack! Styles: Despite not being battle tested, I like what I’ve seen in the training videos from Mann! I’m going to roll with him to win his debut tonight because he took the time to round out his skills a bit before stepping into the cage of pain! I assume he’ll be able to keep his hands up and his head moving to avoid having it blasted repeatedly by Collins’ dynamite-filled knuckles! In addition, Mann should be able to kick the legs and body of Collins and that will drain the big man’s energy plus prevent him from using full power with his punches! Mann wins this fight by knockout! Xavier: Collins may not know how to throw a solid kick at this point in his career, but he doesn’t really need to when he can launch missiles known as his fists! I’m sure his management and training team have ensured he sharpened his striking defense to at least decrease the number of leg and body kicks that Mann could potentially land in this fight, plus Collins may not even give Mann the opportunity to test his kicking skills! Collins could opt to counterattack the young and eager Mann and tax his energy by punching him to the body before looking for the knockout blow he’s fully capable of landing! Collins wins this fight by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Collins by KO; Styles – Mann by KO Xavier: The action continues as Kai Kona and Randel Buckingham lock horns in the cage! Styles: Buckingham? Like the palace? Xavier: Well, yes, it’s spelled the same way. Styles: Is he blue blood royalty? Xavier: I have no idea, Styles. I suppose we’ll find out one way or another. Kai Kona hails from Oahu, Hawaii, and represents the Keyboard Warriors! This fighter steps into combat with a 1-2 record so he’s obviously looking to pull his record to an even 2-2 tonight! He’s had a bit of a rough start to his career because his first two fights obviously ended up as losses! His very first fight saw him get knocked out cold by a Spinning Backfist! That’s one very tough way to start a career but much to his credit, he got right back into the cage to fight so he definitely has the right mentality to be a successful fighter! He snapped his 2-fight losing streak by knocking out Alexander Kokorin in the first round at Madness Fright Night 21! That definitely made him feel good to get that first career win and he can look to build on the momentum from that victory! Kona has a pronounced height advantage over Buckingham and I fully expect him to use that to his advantage for as long as possible, specifically with his muay thai skills! He can definitely keep Buckingham at bay by unleashing numerous kicks, and in doing that he can also prevent Buckingham getting in close enough to try and land some punches! Kona may also consider a heavy dose of kicks to prevent Buckingham trying to wrap him up in a clinch and potentially control the fight from up close and personal! Styles: “Double Stuff”, which may possibly be a nickname attributed to adult B movies, carries a 2-3 overall record into this fight! Very much like his opponent tonight, Buckingham is looking to pull his record even. Hailing from Springfield, this fighter definitely favors the grappling aspect of fighting and he can easily frustrate opponents by locking them into a clinch and controlling the pace and space of a fight despite their efforts to break free! He’s had a rough start to his career as well and tasted canvas the first two fights he had! In both of those fights he was knocked out in the first round and that’s definitely a sign of concern for both the fighter and his management team! Not taking anything away from his opponents but that could very well be a sign that his jaw can’t withstand too much power. If that’s the case then he’ll either have to work very hard to improve his striking defense or opt to focus more on the ground game of fighting and focus on trying to drag fights to the ground where he can keep his chin tucked and not get it plucked by power shots. He turned his fortunes around after that 2-fight losing streak by going on a 2-fight winning streak! That win streak was recently snapped by Wyatt Measles – one hell of a last name by the way – so he’s looking to get back in the win column against Kona! Xavier: For this fight, I’m going to pick Buckingham to win because I feel his combat experience gives him a slight edge over Kona. In addition, he wants to silence the critics who question his ability to take a solid punch and a win tonight is a very good way to begin to quiet the doubters! He may be able to frustrate Kona by keeping him pressed against the cage and controlling his movements and slow down his strikes while landing his own damage before dragging this to the ground and going for the tapout! Buckingham wins by submission! Styles: Kicks will make the difference in this fight for Kona! Keeping those legs whipping at Buckingham’s legs and body will make Buckingham stay on the outside and Kona will take that all night because of his height advantage! Kona will let Buckingham get in close and tag him before he can get the clinch or takedown, and then Kona will land the one shot he needs to turn out the lights and walk out the winner by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Styles – Kona by KO; Xavier – Buckingham by Submission Styles: Demarcus Jackson and Pauly Just Training are the next warriors to step into the cage! The bearded brawler from Orlando known as Jackson is an even 2-2 heading into this fight, and the C$ntmaras Doom member has shown early indications of being able to win both on his feet and on the ground! His very first fight was a submission victory over Ade Absame at Madness 16 Ribbit versus Number, by way of Triangle Choke! After that great start he dropped the next two fights in a row by decision and knockout, respectively! Instead of panicking, he got himself together and knocked Yoshihiro Koyama out in the first round at Madness 30 West versus Hawkins! Hoping to continue that knockout ability, look for Jackson to continue being aggressive and pressure Training into trying to make the costly mistake that Jackson can capitalize on! Jackson has the height advantage here and I expect him to keep this fight vertical where, from what we’ve seen, he has a distinct advantage! Xavier: We’ve always enjoyed seeing inter-alliance battles, Styles, because there’s bragging rights on the line, especially if the fighters train at the same gym! Technically speaking, the alliance doesn’t lose anything because one of their fighters wins anyway unless it’s a draw, of course, but I don’t see this fight ending up as a draw! “Larly” is 1-0 so far, obviously a great start, but I have to wonder why he accepted this fight against his fellow alliance member! Is there a personal vendetta? A bet between them? A test to see if Training can hang with Jackson for a certain amount of time? No disrespect to Training because he could very well pull off what many would consider to be an upset, but for that to happen, he’s going to have to abandon common sense, so to speak, and try and keep Jackson off balance with unusual attacks and tactics! Larly favors the submission aspect of fighting but Jackson is far superior in terms of BJJ skills, so getting him to the ground will be a very difficult task to say the least. Of course, Training could say to hell with all of it and just go for home run hits each and every time in hopes of catching Jackson with an unexpected punch or kick that rocks his world and sets him up for submissions that way! Either way, the Cuban product has his hands full and will have to dig very deeply in order to win this fight tonight! Styles: Training has been working diligently and that’s obvious, but he shouldn’t have taken this fight against his alliance mate! Jackson is, quite frankly, too much for Larly to handle! Jackson is older, has the combat experience advantage, and has looked sharper with his training team than Larly has. It’s unfortunate but he took the fight so he’s going to have to accept the consequences! I will say this: Larly accepting this fight is, to me, pure madness, so he’s right at home in this organization! Jackson wins this fight by knockout! Xavier: It’s not too often that you and I agree, Styles, but for this fight we’re absolutely on the same page! I’m not sure if Larly is trying to prove something to himself, members of C$ntmaras Doom, or is, quite frankly, wanting to experience his own style of madness! Either way, the only way he pulls this off is to get lucky and have enough power and solid timing with that lucky strike to knock Jackson down and out or daze him enough to try and get him to the ground for the tapout! Either way, I just don’t see that happening here and I see Jackson emerging victorious and earning bragging rights! PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Jackson by KO; Styles – Jackson by KO Xavier: We keep the rabid fans wanting more with Alexander Rhodes and Dale Holloway stepping into the cage of judgement! Rhodes is currently 4-2 overall and the Los Angeles product who’s a proud member of UnderGround Fights Enterprises started his career off very well by winning 3-fights in a row! He’s demonstrated a desire to get fights to the ground where he likes to pummel opponents into submission using relentless ground-and-pound! Most recently, however, he got a taste of his own medicine to an extent when Jose Ronaldo finished him off with punch after punch in the third round at Madness Fright Night 22! Obviously, that loss stung Rhodes and when I spoke briefly with his training team, they expressed some concern about his mental state because he hasn’t been the usual energetic fighter they’re used to seeing! Whatever’s bothering him, he’s definitely going to need to get over it because it’s going to damage his ability to fight and that’s a dangerous mix for any fighter! Styles: “King Me” Holloway, I guess he likes to play checkers, is an impressive 5-1 overall, although he struggled in the TWGC 25 and 26 tournament qualifiers! Still, This member of C$ntmaras Doom, who have a solid presence here in Madness, shows that he likes to make opponents lament and tapout to him! Despite that fact, I don’t think Holloway wants to get into a grappling and submission comparison battle with Rhodes in this fight! It puts him at unnecessary risk in my opinion and I think Rhodes knows that. However, since that seems to be the agreed upon perspective, Holloway will gladly keep this fight on its feet where he can test the chin and standup abilities of Rhodes! If Holloway gets a sense that he doesn’t have to concern himself too much with Rhodes’ striking power then expect him to really pour on the pressure and go for the finish! Xavier: Rhodes knows his only chance is to get this fight on the horizontal plane and the best approach to that is to counterattack Holloway and use his aggression and striking ability against him! Rhodes is going to have to rely on his age, life experience and grappling ability in this fight because he’ll need to wear Holloway down first before going for the submission! Trying to slow Holloway down and make him carry his weight is the best method of approach to trying to win this fight! If nothing else, he can just try to outscore Holloway on the judges’ scorecards as opposed to going for the finish if he feels Holloway is too skilled in the defensive grappling aspect of ground fighting! It’ll be difficult but Rhodes wins this fight by unanimous decision! Styles: Holloway’s only loss as of late has been by knockout! Rhodes doesn’t possess knockout power because if he did then he’d drop people in the standup! Winning is winning and grounding and pounding people out is just as effective but he’ll have to get Holloway to the mat and I don’t think that’ll be the case! Holloway’s speed, aggression and power will turn out Rhodes’ lights before he has a chance to even test his grappling skills against Holloway! PREDICTIONS: Styles – Holloway by KO; Xavier – Rhodes by Unanimous Decision Styles: The last fight before the run down championship lane happens between Dro Qanar and Joe Davis! Qanar dresses well and certainly likes colorful shirts, and I can respect that sense of style. Get it? Style!? Xavier: Yes, I get that corny joke, Styles! Styles: Don’t hate because you weren’t clever enough to think of it! Anyway, This member of The Evil Empire steps into combat with a 4-2 overall record and has shown he’s quite balanced as a fighter! The majority of his victories have been by way of submission but don’t let that fool you! He knocked out Nick Reny in 24 seconds at Madness Fright Night 22, so Davis can’t let his guard down or he’ll end up paying the same price that Reny paid! Looking at Qanar’s body of work, he’s very aggressive with all but one of his fights ending in the first round! That style of fighting puts tremendous pressure on opponents and makes most men uncomfortable so Davis will have to prepare to weather the storm as best as he can! Qanar is 10 lbs. lighter than Davis so look for him to use that speed advantage to stick-and-move with counterattacks in an effort to drag Davis to the mat and keep the fight there where he may have a slight advantage in submission abilities. Keeping his feet and head moving will be key for Qanar in this fight! Xavier: “Judge” Davis hails from Los Angeles and as many have seen on television, he’s sharp of tongue, quick of wit, has a solid mind and doesn’t deal with attitude in his court! However, this is the cage of combat and Davis is a solid 5-2 overall! He began his career with a 3-fight win streak then ran into a tough battle against Wayne Johnston at Madness Insanity 8 where he lost by TKO in the first! Instead of moping about that loss and feeling down, he picked himself right back up, got back into the cage and won his next two fights! However, he ran into a buzzsaw named Luke Davidson at Madness 31 Kahn versus Andrade where he lost by TKO in the third round! Obviously, Davis wants to overcome that painful loss and plant himself firmly in the winner’s column once again! To get that done, quite simply he needs to use his Golden Gloves boxing ability and light up Qanar with a barrage of punches from various angles plus mix in sporadic kicks from the outside to keep Qanar guessing and off balance. If he feels he’s not able to punish Qanar with punches, he can opt to try and lock Qanar into a clinch battle where he can definitely wear Qanar down with strikes to the body! Styles: I happen to like that show and I have a great respect or judges. With that in mind, my pick to win this fight is Davis because I think his excellent boxing ability will be the difference maker in keeping this fight on its feet where he can take full advantage! He knows Qanar has to get close to him for the shoot-in takedown. If Qanar tries to lock Davis into a clinch then Davis will welcome that because he’ll be able to control the action while preventing himself from taking too much damage! Unless Qanar catches Davis off guard with an unexpected haymaker, Davis wins this fight by knockout! Xavier: Aggressive counterattacks will be the key for Qanar to get the win in this fight! If he stands toe-to-toe with Davis then he’s going to pay the price because Davis’ boxing skills are too much for Qanar to handle at this point in his career! That said, there’s always a chance Qanar can land a blind hook or uppercut that alters the course of this fight in the blink of an eye! Overall, I think Qanar has to stick-and-move until he can make Davis miss and once he causes that one opening, he has to launch full force into a takedown and once he lands it, he immediately has to float into a dominant position so he can cause damage until he’s able to lock in the submission he’s looking for and secures the win! PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Qanar by Submission; Styles – Davis by KO Xavier: Now we move onto the first of the series of championship fights! Firing off the first salvos will be Malik El Shabazz and Jason Carter battling for the Middleweight title! The undefeated Shabazz has won by unanimous decision for all but two of his fights, so he understands how to balance out aggression with patience, power with precision, and he also knows how to keep himself out of harm’s way! That’s a sign of intelligence and defensive capability and you better believe those are part of the winning formula that has made him champion! Shabazz is a bit shorter than Cater in this fight but not enough to deter him from engaging toe-to-toe in the standup! One interesting wrinkle in this fight will be a decision that both men will make during the course of this fight. Neither of them seems particularly interested in taking this fight to the ground because their BJJ skills aren’t as sharp as their standup skills at this point in their careers. The champion could very well opt to attack Carter with very aggressive and accurate strikes while relentlessly pushing the pace to force Carter into potentially uncomfortable situations! Styles: Jason Carter has fought his way to a 4-1 record, and the New Yorker and member of The Stepdads had a tough start to his career by getting TKO’d by Ben Saunders in a QFC war! However, he obviously overcome that loss and stuck to his confidence and belief, and he now has an opportunity to be a champion! That speaks volumes about his warrior heart and fighting spirit, and those two aspects, along with his obvious skills, could be the mixture that carries him to the championship path! All but his most recent fight ended in the first round so he could very well equal the energy output that Shabazz may end up using in this fight. One major difference for Carter is all of his wins have been by TKO or KO! That, ladies and gentlemen, has the makings of a knockout artist, and Shabazz absolutely does not want to find out if his chin can withstand Carter’s power! Carter has defeated opponents who are known for being able to take a great deal of damage to their jaw, so trying to match power with Carter would be a very big mistake for Shabazz! Obviously for Carter, he would salivate at the chance to goad Shabazz into a standup war! Xavier: Shabazz must rely on his speed and maneuverability to avoid tasting Carter’s power and he’s proven repeatedly he has the ability to do that very thing! This fight may end up being a counterattack party for Shabazz because Carter knows he has devastating punching power and may fall in love with the idea of launching a flurry of power punches in hopes of ending Shabazz’s night very early! Shabazz can use that aggression against Carter and tag him time and again with quick, accurate strikes while avoiding power punches and neck-whipping high kicks! If Shabazz can make Carter chase him then all the better for Shabazz because Carter’s power isn’t the same if he has to strike while moving laterally instead of being able to sink his hips and drive his power forward! Shabazz will be light on his feet and his fists will be at full speed through this entire fight, and as a result, he’ll sustain the hold on his title by winning this fight via unanimous decision! Styles: Carter brings incendiary power into the cage, X, and as good as Shabazz is, especially on defense and avoiding major damage, Carter’s overall skills are on par with Shabazz’s, in the very least, and he may even have a slight advantage in the standup! One thing for sure is Carter has a major power advantage over Shabazz and regardless of Shabazz does, Carter has a puncher’s chance of winning this fight in a flash because all it takes is one clean shot and Shabazz could very well be going night-night! Carter is going to have to exercise patience and smart tactics to keep Shabazz from outscoring him on the score cards while making Carter chase him. If Carter’s able to cut the cage in half, so to speak, Shabazz’s ability to stick-and-move are greatly reduced and the chance for Carter to land power shots are greatly improved! Carter will be cautious for a short time to figure out how to move Shabazz to a corner but once he does, the pressure will be on and his power will be unleashed! Carter will exit the cage with the Middleweight title secured around his waist! PREDICTIONS: Styles – Carter by KO; Xavier – Shabazz by Unanimous Decision Styles: The Bantamweight title hangs in the balance as Can Crusher and Bernie Sanders square off! All right, these names are too odd for me not to comment! Can Crusher? He sounds like he should work at a junkyard or something! And, Bernie Sanders? I see enough politicized Tweets throughout the day and now I have to comment about a dude named after a presidential candidate!? I just can’t escape talks about politics! Xavier: It’s obviously a hot topic, Styles! Trying to avoid hearing about political offices and various representatives vying for offices is futile because the media is all over it. Styles: I get it, trust me! I’m just tired of the wave after wave of political news! Moving on, Crusher is 3-1 overall, and the man from Afghanistan, Kabul, specifically, has knocked out two of his last three opponents so he’s definitely feeling good about himself! The last time we saw the champion, he fought Kim Il Sung and won by unanimous decision at Madness 32 Petrov versus Jansen! He’ll obviously take the win, but Crusher wanted to knock Sung out and I’m sure that has served as motivation for him to step up his training to become even more dangerous! If Crusher can establish the pace of this fight early, then he could make things very difficult for Sanders! Crusher has a substantial height advantage over Sanders and that plays right into Crusher’s hands, literally, because he can stay on the outside and just pump jabs, crosses, and combinations of hooks and uppercuts if and when Sanders is able to get inside the defenses that Crusher has! Sanders is going to have one hell of a time trying to past Crusher’s kicks, let alone the fists that will follow if he does manage to avoid taking too many kicks! Xavier: Sanders has the age and combat experience in this fight tonight and I fully expect him to use both of those to his advantage! “Sandman” is a perfect 8-0 in his career and has proven to be quite dangerous and capable on the ground! In fact, it goes without saying that Sanders will want to get this fight on the ground as soon as possible and keep it there for as long as possible! This fight is another example of the classic standup versus ground fighter scenario. In order the LEGION OF DOOM member to win this fight, he’ll have to counterattack Crusher because Sanders would be taking a big risk by trying to overwhelm Crusher while both of them are standing! Trying to lock Crusher into a clinch is just as risky because Crusher would expect Sanders to try and either score the trip takedown or pull guard from the clinch! I don’t think Sanders has the strength and grappling ability to takedown Crusher from a distance so shooting in is off the menu of options for Sanders! One distinct advantage Sanders has over Crusher is championship experience! That’s invaluable in the cage or ring because champions know how to find that extra gear or dig down deep when the odds are suddenly stacked against them! Styles: Sanders has proven a lot of people wrong, X, because many folks said he’s too old to hang with the younger fighters he’s faced! Well, he obviously knows how to handle business and, as you said, he’s acquired championship experience. That experience is a testament to his training regimen plus his capabilities in the cage! He knows full well he needs to get this fight on the mat and keep it there. The good news for him is he knows how to do that! The Denmark product from Copenhagen could very well try to surprise Crusher by landing power strikes in the standup as Crusher tries to apply a lot of pressure on Sanders! Sanders could soften Crusher up enough to where he’ll be able to shoot in from a distance, score the takedown, and float immediately into side control or full mount where he can really put Crusher into a very bad position! The important aspect for Sanders in this fight is to keep his chin tucked and expect body punches and kicks if he stands in front of Crusher for too long! Footwork and creating angles will be the key to victory against Crusher, and he’ll have to dig deep to make those angles work for him! The champion will show his form tonight against a game opponent by using Crusher’s aggression against him, taking him to the mat, and forcing the tapout once Sanders is able to lock in control! The champion retains his title by submission! Xavier: Crusher has a couple of options here, Styles, and they’re both very favorable for him! He could either stay on the outside and force Sanders to try and avoid his long limbs as he throws a multitude of punches and kicks while trying to keep Sanders from moving around the entire cage effectively! Or, Crusher can rush Sanders, lock him up in a clinch, and unleash various punches from there while preventing takedowns because he’ll be able to feel Sanders’ attempts at takedowns from the clinch! As soon as he feels that, he can rely on his solid grappling ability to keep Sanders from taking this fight to the ground and when that happens, Sanders will be in a world of trouble because Crusher will push himself to crush Sanders in the clinch! If Sanders manages to avoid being locked into a clinch, then Crusher can fire off combinations of punches and kicks while not having to worry about taking damage due to the height advantage he’ll enjoy in this fight! Crusher will launch attacks from a safe distance and damage Sanders enough to make him take the chance of getting close to Crusher. Once he does that, Crusher will unload the power and walk out of the cage as the new Bantamweight champion! PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Crusher by KO; Styles – Sanders by Submission Xavier: Our penultimate battle for the Lightweight title takes place between Olyn Seran and Ryan Rodriguez! “The Conjurer” Seran of The Evil Empire steps into this title defense with a 5-1 record! The Imperial City warrior has proven himself to be dangerous both in the standup and on the ground as he has made opponents tap out while knocking others out! After losing his first fight by TKO in the first at the hands of Cung Wo Par, he’s established a 5-fight win streak and the last time he fought, he forced Pinero Chai to tapout to a Triangle at Madness 29 Chai versus Seran! Now that Seran has the title, his confidence is soaring and he’s looking to build on that championship experience and mettle! Against Rodriguez, he has a slight height and weight advantage, so I look for him to use that to his advantage in the grappling aspect of combat! One facet of this fight that will prove difficult for Seran is Rodriguez’s excellent muay thai ability! The kicks that Rodriguez can launch and land can definitely swing the momentum of this fight to his favor so Seran’s kicking defense better be sharp and ready for this fight! Styles: Rodriguez enters combat tonight with a 4-2 record, and The Stepdads product from San Diego is sure to be very happy having a distinct advantage in the standup of this fight with his tremendous muay thai skills! What’s interesting to me is this is Rodriguez’s second manager in his young career. After winning two fights in a row, he and his former management team decided to part ways for whatever reason! With his current management, he started off rough by being knocked out by none other than Olyn Seran at Madness 20 Rising Stars! Now he’s faced with an opportunity to not only gain revenge for that loss but to also, obviously, walk out of this fight as the new Lightweight champion! With Rodriguez, he either knocks out the opponent or they knock him out! That straight-forward style of fighting is effective when he’s able to land the harder strikes earlier and the fans also greatly enjoy watching him fight with that style! Since he’s shorter and lighter in this fight, I expect him to use counterattacks with his punches but especially with his kicks! He can brutalize Seran’s legs repeatedly then sneak in a head kick that could drop Seran in his tracks! Xavier: I think Rodriguez has the tools and motivation he needs to pull of this win and gain the title as well as some redemption for losing to Seran the first time they crossed paths! There have been whispers of concern about Rodriguez’s ability to absorb power shots and keep going, but he won’t have to worry about Seran’s power if he lands his power shots first and with more force! His kicking ability can be used to slow down Seran by chopping at his legs and body, plus he can combine those kicks with well-placed punches to the body to make Seran drop his guard and then surprise Seran with an uppercut between Seran’s hands! Rodriguez walks out of this battle as the new champion by way of knockout! Styles: Seran has the upper hand in this fight because he knows he can beat Rodriguez, and that’s major! Add in the fact he has championship experience and that equals an excellent opportunity at winning this fight despite the fact he hasn’t trained muay thai to the same level that Rodriguez has! Seran is very well-balanced and that works in his favor because he’ll be able to damage Rodriguez no matter the situation, and having the ability to do that will allow Seran to wear Rodriguez down with fast, accurate punches before blasting Rodriguez with the one or two power punches he needs to drop Rodriguez and open him up for the finish! Seran will once again defeat Rodriguez by knockout and continue his title reign! PREDICTIONS: Styles – Seran by KO; Xavier – Rodriguez by KO Xavier: And we wrap up this night of exciting action with the Light Heavyweight title in the balance as Joao Andrade and Luke Davidson get it on! Andrade of The Stepdads hails from Coimbra, Portugal, and he’s currently riding a 6-fight win streak! That momentum has given him tremendous confidence and the timing of that confidence couldn’t be any better! He became the new Light Heavyweight champion when he defeated Mohammed Kahn by unanimous decision at Madness 31 Kahn versus Andrade! To Kahn’s credit, he’s the only fighter to have not been knocked out during the champion’s winning streak, but that doesn’t mean Andrade can’t rock Davidson’s chin and make his night end rather abruptly and painfully! Championship experience is also a feather in Andrade’s cap that can’t be denied or underestimated! Andrade will enjoy a height advantage against Davidson in this fight and that’s going to make things very tough on Davidson because he’s going to have to be very cautious with Andrade’s kicking ability! Andrade has world class muay thai skills and knows how to use his kicks to setup his knockout punches! If Davidson takes too many striking combinations from Andrade, he’s going to be in very bad shape in a short period of time! Styles: Davidson steps into the cage with a 6-2 record, and this member of The Evil Empire hails from Weston Super Mare, England! Davidson has proven that his fists are grenades that are set to go off each time they make contact with an opponent! He began his career with a 3-fight win streak but is 3-2 over his last five fights so he’s looking to continue his current win streak while establishing consistency! The bad news for Davidson is both of his losses have been by knockout so his battles either end up with him winning by knockout or losing by knockout! That’s a very exciting style for the fans and they love watching his fights, but for the longevity of his career, improving his striking defense and increasing his speed will very much work in his favor of defending against knockouts! Davidson is going to have to overcome mental challenges as well because one of the knockout losses he suffered is at the hands of the champion! Andrade knocked Davidson out the first time their paths crossed at Madness 22 Diaz versus Donde! That knockout occurred in the first round and you better believe that neither one of these warriors forgot the results of that battle! Both men have definitely improved upon their capabilities but history can’t be erased nor forgotten, and Davidson may very well use that loss as the extra motivation he needs in this fight to not only earn the win and the title, but to gain a bit of redemption against Andrade! Xavier: Andrade’s momentum is outstanding and the timing of that is impeccable! He may very well be able to withstand Davidson’s power while unfurling his own power on Davidson! Again, having that much of a height difference is going to enable Andrade to kick Davidson each and every time he tries to get in close and launch counterattacks! Andrade can use his kicks to set Davidson up for nasty uppercuts and crosses because Davidson’s attention will be focused on Andrade’s legs and that could cause him to drop his guard just long enough for Andrade to come over the top of his hands and pop him with brutal power! If Andrade feels he can’t get the knockout for some reason, he can pull back the power and lean more on accuracy and speed to keep Davidson at a distance while scoring vital points on the judges’ scorecards. However, I think Andrade has too much power for Davidson plus Andrade knows he can knock Davidson out, and that confidence will enable him to obtain the same result here tonight! Andrade wins this fight by knockout! Styles: Davidson has his work cut out for him, no doubt, but he has the ability to avoid the crushing power that Andrade possesses and can work inside of his defenses where he can unload big shots on Andrade’s body to slow him down and make him far more susceptible to Davidson’s power! Avoiding the kicks from Andrade will be paramount to his success in overcoming the champion and I have no doubt his training team has focused on that for this fight! I also have no doubt that Davidson still has a bad taste in his mouth from being knocked out by Andrade the first time they fought, and that will give Davidson the drive and desire he needs to overcome Andrade tonight! Davidson could very well load up heavy strikes and wait for Andrade to miss one or his strikes or a combination, and as Andrade recovers from the miss and resets his feet, Davidson can pounce on that opportunity and put everything he has into a punch or string of punches that overwhelm Andrade and stop his night right then and there, allowing Davidson to overcome an opponent he previously lost to and wearing gold around his waist! Davidson wins this fight by knockout! PREDICTIONS: Styles – Davidson by KO; Xavier – Andrade by KO Styles: That concludes our special guest preview, ladies and gentlemen! It’s been our pleasure to be here in lovely Montreal and among the 3,000 wild MMA fans here at the Hard Knocks arena! We hope all of you enjoyed the information we discussed and the opinions we’ve expressed. Xavier: Also, we would be remiss if we didn’t thank Madness’ management for allowing us to come here and be special guests for this incredible event! Lastly, we also thank Sportivite for being the merchandise partner of this great organization and making some kick ass clothing! We look forward to seeing the results of these fights as well as seeing all of you in the arena. On behalf of Furious Styles, I’m Esiah Xavier signing off, and we’ll see you at the fights!

Wilder will open up the cut from Fury his last fight, turn him into a bloody gipsy king and the doctors will stop the fight in a controversial way. Guess what, trilogy fight coming up...!!

This is the only online game I have ever played and I didn’t know anyone else playing. I was so clueless. I was new shortly after the game came out but there was already help on the forum if you read enough. Took me a couple months to figure that out though. My biggest noob move was setting my sliders backwards for the first couple months. I felt like a real dumbass when I figured out why my fighters couldn’t do anything right. Got lucky I had won a few of those. Another mistake was creating 25 year olds. I realized early on the benefit of training 18 year olds with ground skills while the top managers were mostly fighting 25 yo stand ups and that allowed me to break out of my losing ways.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mmaindia.com/ufc-news-jessica-penne-and-bec-rawlings-start-pay-to-view-content-on-adult-platform/ Life as an MMA fighter is tough. If youre not competing at an extremely high level, its hard to earn money in this unforgivingly dangerous sport. Fighters often explore other avenues to supplement their incomes. Some fighters depend largely on sponsorships and some on merchandise sales. However, two former UFC fighters have taken a seemingly different approach. Bec Rawlings and Jessica Penne have created subscription accounts on OnlyFans.com. Onlyfans, Bec Rawling What is OnlyFans? Those who are unfamiliar with what Onlyfans is heres slight info from their Wikipedia page. The platform mimics Twitters business model. It is popular in the adult entertainment industry but also hosts content creators from other genres such as physical fitness experts, independent musicians, fashion icons, comedy acts, and other creators who post regularly online. It allows content creators to receive funding directly from their fans on a monthly basis as well as on tips and the pay-per-view (PPV) feature. PPV allows creators to send personalised content directly to their fan for a set price, meaning the user cannot view the content until it has been paid for and the creator cannot receive payment before sending the content,. Bec Rawlings is currently signed with Bellator and frequently fights on Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. In MMA, she has lost her last five fights and amassed a professional record of 7-9-0. She will fight next at Bellator event in Dublin on February 22 against Elina Kallionidou. On the other hand, Jessica Penne has her own problems that has even threatened her MMA career. Penne has been handed a four-year suspension by USADA. She has accused the drug testing agency of unfair treatment. She was flagged by USADA in March 2017 for using an out of competition drug substance. Penne took to Instagram to explain her plight to her fans. She last fought against Danielle Taylor at UFC Fight Night 108. In this fight, she lost via unanimous decision. Prior to this, she lost to Jessica Andrade and Joanna Jedrzejcyzk.

Yeah right, there will be no nudity at all other than maybe a couple of arse pics. Any simps who get scammed by it deserve to be

Sounds more like a wife than a fighter to me...

Let me just plant this here, for the sake of common sense...

http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15811035305748.jpg Guido "Rear Admiral" Turturro 14-3-0 100% finish rate I can't believe that it is almost time for Wilder VS Fury 2! I like myself a nice cuddling from time to time, but that one is going to be an actual war. My prediction you ask? Wilder reopens Fury's cut and turns him into a red baboon. Wilder by TKO stoppage (cuts) in the 7th. PS: my training camp is going steady and relaxed. My time will come, have patience my dear!

You da man!!!

UnderGround FC 98 Preview! Hello UnderGround FC fans I'm Tony Soprano here to bring you a preview of UnderGround FC 98 headlined by a fight for the 170 pound UnderGround FC Championship between defending Champion Yves "Apache" Trudeau (13-3) and challenger Gabriel "Tarantula" Torres (11-1). UnderGround FC 98 is brought to you by our partners UnderGround Supplements live from the Hard Knocks Arena in Amsterdam. And.....here......we.......go! Prelims: 265+ pound division: Andrejs "Lacis" Medvedevs (1-2) vs Bac "Spring Pac" Nguyen Xuan (0-0) Medvedevs is 1-1 in the organization after fighting the same opponent twice and winning a decision and losing a decision. He is a muai thai/wrestler and holds a blue belt in BJJ. Medvedevs is only 19 years old and probably shouldn't be fighting professionally just yet but he and his manager thought differently and his career is not off to a bad start. He will look to add another win under his belt against his opponent who his fighting in his first ever professional MMA fight. Speaking of his opponent Xuan is a 21 year old prospect out of Ha Noi Vietnam. He is a boxer/wrestler and holds a blue belt in BJJ. This is a fight between 2 exciting prospects and it will be great to see two young fighters try and make a name for themselves! 265+ pound division: Marilin "The Demolition Man" Manson (2-1) vs Bill "Koutalas" Koutalianos (1-1) Manson is 2-1 in the organization after winning his first 2 fights but suffering a first round T/KO loss in his last fight. He is a muai thai/wrestler and holds a purple belt in BJJ. Manson has skills to be dangerous on the feet and on the ground so we will see what kind of game plan his team comes up with for this fight! Koutalianos is coming off 2 tough decision fights where he won a fight and lost his last fight. He is a boxer/wrestler and holds a blue belt in BJJ. This fight looks like it will be a close battle whether it stays standing or goes to the ground and should be a great way to keep the crowd happy! 265+ pound division: Hot Steel (8-4) vs Kamen "The Stone" Kamenov (5-11-1) Steel comes over from FARTMMA and shined in his UnderGround FC debut with a beautiful first round head kick T/KO that earned him a KO of the night award! He is skilled in every aspect of MMA and holds a white belt in BJJ. He has all of his wins by T/KO and should be respected as a dangerous threat on the feet! Kamenov has struggled so far in his MMA career going 5-11-1 and losing 7 of his last 9 fights. However he still has a contract with UnderGround FC so he will show up and try to improve his record and get back on the winning track against an opponent who has had a good start to his career. He is a boxer/wrestler and holds a blue belt in BJJ. This fight could go either way but in my opinion won't last long! A fight between two young prospects that are sure to have bright futures in UnderGround FC. 145 pound division: Killua "Kill" Zoldyk (7-9) vs Ky Tycoon (8-5) Zoldyk is 3-5 in the organization and is currently on a 3 fight losing streak losing all 3 fights by decision. He skilled in every aspect of MMA and holds a purple belt in BJJ. Zoldyk has the skills to compete in the feet and on the ground and should be a good test for his opponent. Tycoon won his last fight which snapped a 4 fight losing streak and he also had a fight cancelled due to his opponent not making weight. He is a wrestler and holds a purple belt in BJJ. This fight has all the makings of a chess battle between two smart fighters that could end in a decision easily! 155 pound division: Rob Gross (7-6) vs Crazy Horse (4-0) Gross is 1-2 in the organization after having won his debut he had lost his last 2 fights by T/KO. He has been T/KO'd in 5 of his 6 losses so he will look to be alittle more conservative as to not get caught early. He is a boxer/wrestler and holds a blue belt in BJJ. He will have a tough test in this fight but will also look to make a name for himself with a big win! Crazy Horse has won all 4 of his professional MMA fights including 3 wins in the UnderGround FC organization. He is coming off a decision win in his last fight but also has a T/KO and submission win in those 3 fights. He is skilled in every aspect of MMA and holds a very impressive black belt in BJJ. Crazy Horse will look to keep his undefeated start to his career in tact and cement his name in the 155 pound Championship conversation! MAIN CARD! 155 pound division: Israel "RedBeard" Hands (4-2) vs Reima Poika (6-1-1) Hands is 4-1 in the organization including a submission of the night award. He is coming off a unamious decision victory and has won 4 of his last 5 fights. He is skilled in every aspect of MMA and holds a brown belt in BJJ. "RedBeard" has the skills to compete wherever this fight ends up going and should be a tough opponent. Poika lost his debut fight by first round T/KO in the UnderGround FC organization after coming over from GDL where he went undefeated with 6 straight wins including winning the championship and defending it successfully twice so he is no joke as an opponent and might have just let nerves get the best of him in his debut. He is skilled in every aspect of MMA and holds a brown belt in BJJ. He'll be looking to get his first win with his new organization! 265+ pound division: Joe "Shotgun" Clark (4-0) vs Crispin "Sundowner" Freeman (3-1) Clark is undefeated after debuting at UnderGround FC 8 and then fighting for the GDL where he won the Championship and successfully defended it once before making the decision to come back to UnderGround. He clearly has power in his hands as he has won all of his fights by way of first round T/KO. He is skilled in every aspect of MMA and holds a purple belt in BJJ. He's undefeated and a brutal knockout artist so this fighter will surely be loved by all the fans! Freeman has fought all of his fights in UnderGround FC and has put together a 3 fight win and T/KO finish streak after losing his debut which clearly pissed him off. He is a boxer/wrestler and holds a white belt in BJJ. This fight is sure to bring fireworks as we have two established KO artists meeting in the middle of the cage to see who will prevail! 135 pound division: Morris Day (11-4) vs Anthony Shiina (10-5) Day is 3-1 in the organization with his only loss coming in a Championship fight where he suffered a second round KO loss. He was able to get back in the win column with a first round T/KO in his last fight and will look to continue that momentum in this one. He is a wrestler and holds a purple belt in BJJ. Despite being a wrestler he has 8 T/KO's out of his 11 wins so he seems to be prepared for anything! Shiina has been up and down recently and changed management a few times. This will be his debut fight in UnderGround FC after losing his last fight under the RapidFC organization. He will look to make a great first impression on his new organization with a big showing! He is skilled in every aspect of MMA and holds a brown belt in BJJ. With all 10 of his wins coming by way of submission this fight looks to go to the ground but the question will be will it end with a T/KO or a submission? You won't want to miss the answer to that question! CO MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING 155 pound division: Akaro "Kid Lighting" Horiguchi (7-2) vs Liberal Stomper (13-3) Horiguchi is 4-1 in the UnderGround FC with his only loss coming in an unsuccessful challenge for the Championship. He has a fight of the night and KO of the night award under the UnderGround FC organization. He is skilled in every aspect of MMA and holds a brown belt in BJJ. 6 out of 7 of his wins have come by way of T/KO so he will surely be looking to end another fight by way of brutal T/KO fashion. Stomper has been in UnderGround FC since it's start having won his debut fight on UnderGround FC 1 and is 7-3 in the organization with 4 fight of the night awards. He won his last fight in the first round by KO and has 9 of his 13 wins by way of T/KO. He is skilled in every aspect of MMA and holds a purple belt in BJJ. This fight should be a great boxing duel and should end quickly with 15 combined T/KO's between both fighters. This is something of a treat for your Co Main Event! MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING! 170 pound Championship: Defending Champion Yves "Apache" Trudeau (13-3) vs challenger Gabriel "Tarantula" Torres (11-1) Your main event of the evening is also a candidate for fight of the night as it's going to be an absolute war to determine the best of the best in the 170 pound division! The Challenger Torres is 3-1 in UnderGround FC with his only loss coming in his first shot at the Championship against then champ Kobayashi Jin. He is a Champion in 2 different organizations before coming to UnderGround FC so he will be looking to capture gold in 3 different organizations if he can be successful in this fight. He won his last two fights in the first round by way of T/KO and submission and looks hungry to get to the champion! Speaking of the champion Trudeau lost his debut fight against the same man he was able to take the Championship from in his last fight Uesugi Mochinori. He won the championship in a 5 round war that he was able to finish with a T/KO with only 20 seconds left in the fight! Trudeau will be looking for his first successful championship defense in this fight. He is skilled in every aspect of MMA and holds a brown belt in BJJ. This fight will be very even right down the middle as Trudeau holds advantages in muai thai and Torres holds advantages in boxing and BJJ so it looks like this will come down to game plan and who can stick to it under heavy pressure. I'm personally excited to see this one as it's between to great fighters who have been on a role with great careers so far. Will Torres win his first Championship in UnderGround FC? Will Trudeau be able to successfully defend his title? Place your bets at UnderGround Bets and don't miss this amazing main event fight! That will be the end of my preview. Thank you for taking the time to read my articles as I enjoy breaking down the fights for all our UnderGround FC fans! Make sure join me after the fights for my review of both UnderGround FC 97 and 98 and we will see you on Saturday! Good night!

You sure about that? I've have several fights now where my guy has just stayed where he was without me having to cancel an auto flight? It's possible we're talking about the same thing here though and just getting confused. I guess what I'm really saying is locations is off right?

Looks like the whole auto flights thing has been stopped which is probably the best thing that has happened to the game in a long time.

On a side note. Still waiting to rip that bong with you white Jesus.

Also, I was looking for something male pornstar-ish, like Charles Dera

Beard male Denim still available?

Over-statement. Jones will fight Reyes and Santos again, as long as Reyes doesn't go out and lose prior. I think JJ would rather fight Reyes before Santos but don't believe he's ducking either of them. I legitimately believe he wants to be acknowledged as the GOAT and un-tarnish his rep... he'll fight who the fans want. He fought Santos and Reyes who were practically unknowns in comparison and it's rare champs do that these days. They go chasing the popular fighter, the money fights, almost instantly. Who hasn't done that yet... JJ. Not a big fan of the guy, but hey, props where it's due.

Good job mate ! Make Tycoon Times great again !

That's what I thought.. I just wanted to check here first before messaging him because I know he gets swamped with messages. Thank you.

the PA setting is for each fighter to buy clothing for himself, not the PA buying clothing for the PA...

Yes. The fight engine is probably the best part of this game, but to improve it further this would be nice addition.

Sending money now, it was accepted

Miss Miracle just can't let you go, eh?

PM me in-game and I'll help you out.

Been a long time since we used this forum, so I thought some rankings were well overdue. We will also be announcing our 1st HoF class for Pulse (under my management), so figured it would be a good time to resurrect the Trash Talk Forum. Pulse Rankings 9/17 Bantamweight - 135 lbs The Pulse 135 lb division has become arguably the top BW division in the MMA Tycoon landscape today. Yoshida grabbed hold of the division with back to back wins over former P4P #1 Eyeam Yurmommy, and recently had 2 split decision wars with longtime PFC stalwart Mads Nordskov. He will defend next against the ageless wonder Kazuka Fuujin, who is on a 4 fight win streak of his own. Champ: Takashi Yoshida 24-5 (6-1) 1. Mads Nordskov 30-10-1 (15-6-1) 2. Kazuka Fuujin 25-13 (7-4) 3. Nobunaga Tanaka 20-8 (2-2) 4. Koh Ibu 29-12 (6-3) 5. Midick Aiken 19-7-1 (1-1) Fight to Watch: #1 Mads Nordskov vs Newcomer Watch Out Ronaldo. Ronaldo is coming off of a very successful run in AEW and has never been finished. He will be thrown into the fire at PFC 131 facing off against 2 time Pulse BW champ Nordskov. Featherweight - 145 lbs The Pulse FW division belongs to the most dominant fighter in Pulse history, and current P4P #1 Friedrich Alzheimer. He even owns a win over the PFC HW champ in the CEC tournament. Champ: Friedrich Alzheimer 29-4 (18-2) 1. Landon Priester 15-4-3 (9-2-3) 2. Muuka Laine 18-9 (16-8) 3. Pascal Letaivu 21-16 4. Von Magnaron 24-15-2 (23-15-2) 5. Zhang Zhai 31-21 (4-3) Fight to Watch: One Former FW champ Mike McLaughlin will put his 2 fight win streak on the line against another former Pulse belt holder in Ramon Escobar Chavez who has a 2 fight win streak of his own, with both looking to insert themselves into the title picture. Lightweight - 155 lbs The Pulse Lightweight division can now lay claim to being the deepest 155lb division in the game, with 5 of the current top 10 LW’s currently residing in the org. Pulse mainstay Will Rock has kept his place at the top of the division, and will take on newcomer and #2 LW Roberto Duranto, formerly Emperyan’s LW champion. It doesn’t get easier from there, as top 10 LW’s Yamaguchi (#6), Urani (#7), and Bathroy (#8) all wait for their shots to get a crack at the title. Champ: Will Rock 23-7-3 (19-5-1) 1. Roberto Duranto 16-4-2 2. Kai Yamaguchi 32-9-1 (17-4) 3. Ephram Urani 21-10-1 (2-2) 4. Arzlan Bathory 13-2-1 (6-1-1) 5. Danny Brixton 26-11-1 (26-10-1) Fight to Watch: Outside of #3 Rock vs #2 Duranto, Larson Picker, owner of a 5 fight win streak, and Tommy Gavin who has a 2 fight win streak of his own, will each try to lay their claim for a spot in the Pulse top 5. Welterweight - 170 lbs Very familiar blood at the top of the WW division as Ira Wright continues to be the class of the Pulse 170lb division, with alliance mate Jack Stone continuing his dominance of everyone not named Ira Wright. Hugh Moors, now fighting out of the Alex K fight camp, will be the next one to take a shot at dethroning the champ. Champ: Ira Wright 25-4-2 (7-0-2) 1. Jack Stone 32-12-2 (15-6-1) 2. Hugh Moors 16-2-1 (3-1-1) 3. Ludo Van Veen 26-11 (14-6) 4. Dominic Trujillo 18-8 (10-6) 5. Thomas Raske 20-9 (2-2) Fight to Watch: #3 Van Veen and #4 Trujillo will each put long win streaks on the line at PFC 131 to try and determine the next title contender. Middleweight - 185 lbs After a change of fight camps, Jaheim Reid has found his stride, winning 5 of 6 and finding himself atop the Pulse MW division. Champ: Jaheim Reid 21-7 (7-4) 1. Snot Slurper 25-6 (5-2) 2. Yes Man Sanchez 35-18-1 (11-5) 3. Wet Wild 17-7 (3-1) 4. Aksel Stenger 8-5 (3-2) 5. Aito Lager 26-17-3 (3-1) Fight to Watch: #5 Lager will face off against James Darren, who found himself just outside of the top 5. Both have modest winning streaks they will look to extend and improve their standing in the division. Light Heavyweight - 205 lbs Alphonzo Mirage has asserted himself as one of the top LHW’s in the world, with a title run that includes just one loss, getting caught in the first round against Soszynski. In a division with no shortage of contenders, Mirage continues to be the class of the division, and will next defend against Semenko, in a rematch of the fight where Mirage began his title reign. Champ: Alphonzo Mirage 22-7 (9-1) 1. Dave Semenko 15-4 (13-4) 2. Joost Van Buren 21-8 (8-3) 3. Frank Stein 23-13-1 (13-5-1) 4. Rage Parade 17-11 (12-9) 5. Michael Bennett 18-8 (16-5) Fight to Watch: #4 Parade vs Krystian Soszynski, 2 fighters with considerable potential and KO ability will face off trying to break losing streaks and get back into contention. Heavyweight - 265 lbs Peleki Tuala got off to a fast start, and has never looked back, with his only loss to a Pulse fighter is a decision loss to #1 P4P FW champ Alzheimer in an openweight grand Prix. He is taking his dominance on the road to face off another of Alex K’s fighters Iain Tower to improve his P4P standing. Champ: Peleki Tuala 18-5 (6-1) 1. Solomon Nao 11-5 (4-3) 2. Daniel Dmitrov 21-8 (11-5) 3. Crotch Grabber 17-4 (2-2) 4. Bjorn Ragnarsson 24-9-1 (2-0) 5. Gniewomir Lach 10-5 (7-3) Fight to Watch: A top 5 matchup between #1 Solomon Nao and #4 Ragnarsson will likely play a huge part in setting up a future HW title defense for Tuala.

Buy your win ratio is almost barely 1:1 and you could fight better competition.You CAN ko with high acc/aggro and headhunt. Less probable against a solid chin in 155lb or lower w/c and well trained fighters or good slider. And you have low strength.

I wrote to Tom Pickle last night about possible releases . Will see what he replies. I would like to support this new movement and actually help some of the smaller, promising orgs like Inferno and Rei’s ultra violent org too. The best 330ks to JAG is a no brainer due to them being in the perfect spot to get a boost. I know we ran into some disagreements with Davey over at FARTMMA and with Pickle our history is long but I think there is a proper move here and to funnel the best talent to where they would get the best chance to succeed. Will keep y’all posted on how this develops. WAR CEC

My fighters do this all the time bunch of metrosexuals shopping addicts

This is wrong, I have 53 knockout wins,16 decision wins, and 13 submission victories... I have NEVER put the slider over 30% damage and it is almost always around 20% about 80% of my fights end in first round ko...
