  3. SUCKER PUNCH PREVIEW Sucker Punch Pro Series 119 Hey Sucker Punch fans! Hare Rumpler here along with Donkey “Dan” and we’re going to spin ourselves right into this thing without much fanfare today! It’s Superbowl Sunday, my kids have lifeguarding, swim practice and a bunch of other stuff…and frankly this event goes off only a short time from now, so it’s time to just get a move on it! It’ll be short and sweet I think today! SPPS 119 comes at you from the Wombley Arena in London, England and brings you not one…but TWO huge championship fights for your Main Events folks! Woot! Light Heavyweight and Middlweight belts on the line tonight! You’ll also get a ton of Featherweight action as five of our fights on the card are represented by the tiny division, as well as two big boy battles and one other Light Heavyweight contest that opens things up for us in the Undercard. Good stuff! So, let’s get a quick word from our sponsor and merchandise partner and get to the fun stuff for each fight in more detail! When you think about training your fighters, one of the biggest concerns is keeping them in the gym and actively training, am I right? And you can’t do that if they have to be stopping to recover and rest for sessions here and sessions there! That is why you need to visit our sponsor, Shadow Warrior Nutrition, and specifically grab some of their Shadow Warrior Tea 160Q. It is literally the best energy loss reduction supplement money can buy and will keep your fighter in the gym training rather than sitting days out resting! Stop on over there today, you will NOT be disappointed! *********************** Undercard Bout #1: Light Heavyweights Adim Bulb Jr (0-0-0) v Sacrificial Lamb Jr (0-0-0) HR: Donkey, ok, I admit it…this first fight isn’t really a couple of Light Heavyweights nor is it an actual fight to kick things off… DD: …yeah, we know that Hare! That was pretty easy to spot as only one guy, Lamb, is a true Light Heavyweight. The other, Bulb Jr, is actually a Featherweight and both of these kids are brand new to the professional MMA ranks! So this is really a test fight and from what I’ve been told, both are pretty dim-witted and likely won’t be around long! HR: It’s true Donkey, both of these kids are flipping idiots to be honest. I had scheduled the test fight to fill an empty slot before I knew their learning speeds and boy, were they disappointments! This is nothing more than cannon fodder this evening! DD: Should I even bother with a pick then? Probably not, but here goes anyway… Donkey’s Pick: Lamb Jr via TKO (Strikes) Given both kids are brand new to training I’ll simply go with the bigger, heavier fighter here. *********************** Undercard Bout #2: Featherweights Cleon Wright (10-5-0) v Dizzy Knox (5-10-0) HR: Our second bout of the evening will be a Featherweight affair between, as the girls would say, two skinny boys prepared for a slapfest! Ha! Both are just about even in skills despite having polar opposite records, so this should be interesting Donkey? DD: Well, it’s certainly going to test out the theory of, “You are what your record says you are.” With both kids having comparable skills one would think this fight can go either way but clearly Knox has had a tough time securing wins. That said, maybe he just needed a change of scenery as his debut with Sucker Punch was a decision victory over Luke Skywalker last month. HR: And Wright makes his debut this evening after jumping around a bit of late. He was with GDL for a long, long time but then ended up with BBFC for a single fight and subsequently moved to HFC. Both fights, one in each org, resulted in losses and he comes in here with a 1-3 run over his last four despite a 10-5 record overall. Granted, two of those fights from GDL were title fights! So what will we get from these boys? DD: Both of these fighters tend to keep it on the feet. And both have a tendency, at least of late, to lose via TKO or KO in many cases. However, Wright is the more prone to being able to dish out the pain given his history while Knox tends to work for the points. HR: And that leads us to the pick I guess! Donkey’s Pick: Wright via TKO (Strikes) I’m going with that trend here. The combination of Wright having had more success finishing and Knox having been finished more than a few times leads me to believe Wright will have the edge. *********************** Undercard Bout #3: Heavyweights Jack Morgan (19-14-0) v Zygmunt Krol (6-8-0) HR: Next up Donkey, a Heavyweight bout featuring one of our more highly skilled OG (to a degree) kids against one of the incoming unrestricted group! It’s really important for these fights to start going off as March brings the beginning of full open season for scheduling and April opens up the possibility for unrestricted fighters to go after titles! DD: And this should be a very closely fought fight between the big dudes as well Hare! If anything Krol has the advantage here as he has the better Muay Thai while most other skills are neck and neck with these two. That said, Krol has been struggling. Action Jackson decided he wasn’t worthy of his squad back mid-2021 after two losses in a row to top tier Heavyweights here at Sucker Punch but then it looked like Folioli had the answers for Krol. Krol immediately picked up two solid wins under his new management team as he downed Patrick Murphy and Rock Silva. HR: That success was a big short lived as we all know Donkey, as he’s now carrying a trio of losses into tonight’s fight after once again coming up short against the elite in the division, having fallen to Chontamenti, Haden and most recently, Balkan. How about Morgan, what’s he looking like Donkey? DD: Don’t sit here and pretend you don’t have a clue there Hare! Morgan has been with at least five or six managers over his career and you were one of them smack dab in the middle. And he is what he was then. About a .500 fighter. He won two and lost two with you. He’s done the same under his last manager, Tev Clark with alternating losses and wins. Now he comes in under Bushido Zen for his Sucker Punch debut and he’s due for a win, but he’ll have his work cut out to get it! HR: Alright, so give us a pick and tell us what to expect from these two? Donkey’s Pick: Krol via TKO (Strikes) Both are hard strikers, so you can expect a serious throwing of hands here tonight! I’m hard pressed to make a pick based upon skill and records here, so I’m going with management. Zen has been around a long time but his record overall isn’t quite what Folioli’s is. Folioli is a Top 100 manager at this time and a former #1 in MMAT. I’m going to give the edge on strategy and tactics to that team tonight! *********************** Undercard Bout #4: Featherweights Godefroy Courtial (15-5-1) v Luke Skywalker (9-11-2) HR: Back to the little dudes Donkey! Skywalker…Courtial…this one could be fun! Skywalker looks to have the advantage on the ground with his Jiu Jitsu this evening while Courtial is the better Muay Thai artist. Both are prepared, although Skywalker’s morale could be a smidge better if I’m being honest. Tell the fine folks a bit more Donkey? DD: What do you want me to tell them Hare? You just laid out what we’re likely to see here tonight! What you didn’t tell them is that Skywalker is more or less up against the wall here. He has to win this fight tonight or he’s likely not going to be on contract come tomorrow. He’s 0-6-1 over his last seven fights and well at the bottom of the division at this point. He had a lot of potential early in his career, even earning a title shot against Michael Aalto at one point, but all that seems to have slipped away. He needs to prove he’s not ready to have a fork stuck in him, but honestly, it does look that way. HR: Well, that was a bit brutal Donkey! You’ll earn no love with that take on things from the Skywalker camp! How about Courtial? DD: Courtial is much better off, but not out of danger entirely. His four fight winning streak from July through October last year is carrying him at the moment along with his most recent win over Casey in January. Losses in the last two months of 2021 marred his run though. This is a kid who lives and dies by his hands but tonight he’s also going to need to stay away from the ground game against Skywalker or he could end up in trouble. HR: Alright, so possible classic striker versus ground matchup. Give us a pick there Donkster! Donkey’s Pick: Courtial via Unanimous Decision Courtial has never been finished via submission. I was tempted to pick for that trend to end this evening, but I’m just not seeing that happen. Skywalker has been floundering too much and I’m not sure I can trust putting a pick in his hands. He’s likely hit the end of the road. *********************** Undercard Bout #5: Featherweights Count Dankula (9-4-0) v Yellow Belt Casey (9-11-0) HR: Our final fight of the Undercard will bring together Casey and Dankula in a Featherweight matchup. Both with nine wins but slightly different numbers accompanying those wins. It looks to me like Dankula’s morale may be off slightly and his energy is less than ideal, although not off by a ton, so perhaps Casey gets the automatic advantage here in a couple hours? DD: Possibly Hare, and Casey needs it! He’s 1-3 over his last four fights and just has been struggling against the mid to upper tier guys at Featherweight. You’ll expect to see him come out looking to kickbox this evening as that’s been his go-to move over the past several fights. Unless he changes it up. Which may not be a bad move! HR: Casey’s opponent, Dankula, has been a bit hit or miss, literally, over his most recent run with Brocc Ogan ever since his days as the former champ here at Sucker Punch under Bob Loblaw. He’s 2-2 over his last four and carries a loss to Herve Cabrera into this one, a submission via armbar. That might excite Casey as he has some ground skills and might see that as an opportunity? DD: Dankula has the stronger wrestling here tonight but Casey definitely has the Jiu Jitsu. On the feet, they’re mixed as well, although Casey has a bigger advantage in Muay Thai than he gives up boxing. Dankula works almost a pure boxing game and has struggled on the ground so the goal here is clear for his squad…find a way to keep the fight standing or finish it quickly! HR: Let’s here the pick then! Donkey’s Pick: Casey via Submission (Armbar) I think Casey is due and Dankula, while not losing often, has lost a couple via submission to ground specialists. That seems to be the opening Casey would need here tonight. *********************** Ok folks, Donkey and I are working hard to get the rest of the preview out here, but there’s no guarantees we’ll get there before the fights go off in about 90 minutes! We’ll be back soon in a half hour or so hopefully with the remainder! *********************** Main Card Bout #1: Heavyweights Bjorn Olafsson (11-8-0) v Andre Powell (11-8-0) HR: Main Card time Donkey and we definitely need to get rolling here as time is running short and the folks are already filling the Wombley over in London for this big event! Powell and Olafsson represent the big boys again in the second Heavyweight fight of the night! And both 360k plus guys, so plenty of talent and time to continue development! DD: They sure do and you can’t ask for much more of an evenly matched bout! Nice job there Hare! Both 11-8, both with just about even skills across the board except for the slight edge that Olafsson has in wrestling and Muay Thai, but it’s not much…and both just about fully prepared to get into the cage. Should be a good one! HR: Alright, you seem to be hitting things in stride there Donkey, so just run with this! Tell us what we’re looking at and what to expect! DD: Well, Powell comes in on a three fight losing streak after finally breaking a streak of losses that was just as long! Granted, he did that by taking on Edward Mills not once, but twice! That was due to Mills being determined to get his block knocked off, which Powell was happy to oblige and did twice…in under minute each time! The more interesting fight though was the one prior against MiG, when powell pulled off the first submission of his career out of nowhere! Love seeing guys evolve, and that was a shocker! HR: Great stuff there on Powell! How about Olafsson, I don’t think our fans out there know much about this kid. DD: They don’t Hare, unless they’d been paying attention to a lot of Cali MMA action before they folded. Our Sucker Punch faithful got a taste of Olafsson last month when he defeated Paulius Zurauskas via TKO in the second round. Olafsson has been struggling to gain traction and consistency though, so we’re not sure what we get this evening. We do know he loves the clinch though, so this may turn into a battle for position between him and Powell as they see who can dictate where the fight takes place. HR: And…a pick? Donkey’s Pick: Powell via TKO (Strikes) Tough pick, both are just as susceptible to the TKO or KO as they are to dishing one out. Flip the coin I think! Let’s go with Powell and see if he can make it four in a row! *********************** Main Card Bout #2: Featherweights Ivan Volkov (19-17-0) v Dom Cruz (37-30-0) HR: Moving along here Donkey we’ve got a Featherweight bout with a moonlighting Cruz! Haha, I love that term for some reason! But yeah, Cruz came in for a single fight specifically to give Volkov a little dance! DD: He did, and his manager also has a name you love from prior fights I think, Hare! But, this is going to be interested. Can the wily veteran pull off what would probably be considered an upset at the age of 43 against his younger fellow unrestricted dance partner, Volkov? And when I say younger, I mean that relatively. Volkov is 34 and no spring chicken either, but compared to Cruz he certainly is! HR: Both have seen plenty of action in their careers, that’s for sure Donkey! And both come in with some serious skills, especially on the ground. Cruz has probably the more impressive set with elite wrestling and Black belt, don’t you think? DD: No, I don’t agree Hare. I think you have your colors all mixed up bunny boy! Volkov also has elite wrestling, but a RED belt to go with it! And sensational standup in both areas of boxing and Muay Thai. Cruz has sensational boxing, but “only” wonderful Muay Thai. HR: So what, you just handing this one to Volkov? Almost sounds like it! Let’s just hear your pick then! Donkey’s Pick: Volkov via Submission (Guillotine) Definitely not handing it. But I am leaning that way. Cruz is 1-5 in his last six fights as of the end of 2021. And while he’s pulled off one submission of late in his career, he’s been submitted a few times. He can strike though, and that could help him out! But Volkov has a granite chin and an affinity for submissions. I think this may be Volkov’s to lose. *********************** Main Card Bout #3: Featherweights Aaron Petrov (33-13-1) v Gauthier Delisle (15-7-0) HR: The last of our Featherweight matchups on this card Donkey! And there were quite a few eh? And, the last of our fights before the final two Main Events for the belts that are on the line tonight! Both of these kids are part of the unrestricted crew, eh Donkster? DD: They sure are Hare, and this one is an easy breakdown. No need to get into a long-winded spiel over this! Submission specialist in Delisle against striker in Petrov! HR: This is Delisle’s debut with Sucker Punch after he was previously with SMASH and Combate before that. Petrov has only been with us for one prior fight, a majority decision over Ivan Volkov in mid January. Both have been hit or miss on wins and losses of late, so I think this may just be about whose strategy works better tonight? DD: I think that’s probably fair. As I said, Delisle will be looking for submissions. Petrov will want it standing. It’s just a matter of who can make the magic happen Hare! HR: Well, as you said, pretty simple. Let’s get to the pick then! Donkey’s Pick: Petrov via TKO (Strikes) Delisle has worked some very good submissions over the past year but is also susceptible to the KO or TKO. Petrov can dish those out, but hasn’t been finished on the ground much lately. You have to go back quite a ways. I’m going to go with that as my difference maker. *********************** Co-Main Event: Middleweight Championship Bout Kiryu Kazuma (13-6-0) v Craig Watkins (8-3-1) HR: The Co-Main Event! And I love that we’re seeing both Watkins and Kazuma come into this one fully prepped Donkey! As they should when they’re fighting for the hardware! And damn, will this be a solidly matched one or what??? DD: It will be and actually if anybody holds the advantage here, even slightly, it might be the challenger in Watkins as he has a small edge in Muay Thai and wrestling. Watkins has been on a roll since joining SPPS at the end of the year with wins over Hall and DeAngelo, both TKO’s in the first round! That’s impressive and certainly gives the champ something to think about tonight. HR: Kazuma is a two-time Middleweight Champion here at Sucker Punch as he previously won it back in July over Wanderson Machado and defended successfully against Fuhren before Machado was able to snag it back again in October. DD: The champ, even if only in his heart at that point, was not to be held down though Hare! He stepped up the workouts and practice sessions and put together two beautiful wins over Luka Marka and then Not Ponor via KO and TKO respectively. And both in under a minute! Hell, the win over Ponor was a twenty-two second finish! You have to call that the eye of the tiger and a fire burning in the gut! HR: You do, and you love to see that in your champions. Or former champions who have the potential to get back to it! And what’d that lead him to? A rubber match with Machado of course!!! Which he won to grab the belt back again in a back and forth see-saw battle between those two! The start of the year was a beautiful one as January brought the belt back to Kazuma and he now defends it against up and coming talent to SPPS in Watkins! Tell us your pick and what you see Donkey? Donkey’s Pick: Kazuma via KO (Punch) This won’t be a walk in the park for the champ. At least, I don’t think it will. Watkins likes to bring the “BOOM” with his hands and we know Kazuma can as well. This may just be an explosion in the first round of action tonight!!! I’m going to give the champ his respect with this pick but if I’m honest, this one could end in smelling salts for either guy! *********************** Main Event: Light Heavyweight Championship Bout Dempsey ONeill (13-4-0) v John Fury (13-3-0) HR: Here we go with the Main Event of the evening folks! Donkey, this one should be another blast just like the last as both fighters can bring the BOOM, as you said about the Co-Main Event! DD: Absolutely, we know Fury likes to bring it and we know that ONeill can as well, although he and his camp of late have been leaning more towards drawn out decision fights that go to the judges. HR: And, if I’m honest and not lying here Donkey, I believe we have a bit of a vested interest in this fight tonight. We don’t usually take sides much unless we have an unprepared fighter…but…well, sometimes you have to do what you have to do, am I wrong? DD: In this case you’re definitely not. I try to stay impartial as well but ONeill’s camp-mate, Duvernay, recently informed the SPPS front office that he’d be leaving at the end of his contract after his first title defense. Greener pastures and more hype and all that. So obviously we have to have the same concern here with ONeill…which means…we’re fully rooting for a Fury win here this evening obviously! HR: No doubt Donkey. And these two are both very, very evenly matched, both very talented. It could go either way. It’s about a flat line down the primary skills category aside from a bit of Muay Thai advantage for ONeill. Give us a pick here Donkster! Donkey’s Pick: Fury via TKO (Strikes) Fury has won six of his last seven via TKO or KO under two different management teams. You have to figure he’s bringing the power to the cage tonight, although you never know. You also have to figure that ONeill is going to try to eek out the points in a technical striking venture to win it with the judges. Who’s strategy wins out? It may just come down to whether the big shot lands or not! ONeill has never been stopped on his feet though. *********************** So there we have it Sucker Punch fans! Let’s get ready to rock London to its very damp, chilly, foggy core! I’ve actually never been to London, so I’m just going with stereotypes there! Haha. Anyways, Donkey and I are ready for the action that now kicks off in just under an hour! Let’s do this folks! And don’t miss the LIVE Three Hour PPV if you can’t be there in person! Till then, have fun and don’t forget… Keep it cheap and dirty…Sucker Punch Pro Series style!

  4. SENSEI FC 11: White vs Bouba was a mixed martial arts event held by SENSEI FC, in conjunction with Paddy's Enhancing Drugs (160Q) on February 12, 2022 at Hayashi's Lounge in Tokyo, Japan. [Official Review] [Undercard Bouts] (Middleweight Division) Genji Okumichi (0-1) vs. Saul Alvarez (0-0) Round 1 – This fight promised fireworks and boy did it deliver! Straight out of the gate these two strikers started exchanging strikes. It became abundantly clear that Alvarez was the superior technician of the two as he went to work early with shots to the body. Okumichi tried to fire back but was whiffing shots in a big way. Okumichi took a step back to catch his breath and Alvarez rushed forward with an uppercut that put his opponent out cold. Saul Alvarez def. Genji Okumichi via KO (Punch) at 0:29 of round 1! (Lightweight Division) Gervonta Davis (0-0) vs. Harada Sanosuke (0-1) Round 1 – During the previews for this fight, the question was asked: will Davis be able to connect with his strikes before getting taken down? The answer became clear five seconds into the fight! Gervonta Davis caught Harada Sanosuke coming in for a takedown, clocking him with a stiff one-two combination that put Sanosuke down and following up with ground n pound! Gervonta Davis def. Harada Sanosuke via TKO (Strikes) at 0:05 of round 1! (Light-Heavyweight Division) Masa Saitoh (0-0) vs. Killian Finbarr (0-0) Round 1 – Killian Finbarr wasted no time in shooting for the legs of Killian Finbarr, bringing the fight to the ground and landing himself in side control on top. This was a confusing decision since Killian Finbarr is a striker with literally no grappliong background. Masa Saitoh immediately worked his way to half guard and then to guared. Saitoh reversed to the top position and began working ground and pound, battering Finbarr until the referee had seen enough. Masa Saitoh def. Killian Finbarr via TKO (Strikes) at 1:59 of round 1! (Welterweight Division) Bert McAlroy (4-1) vs. Ichiro Sato (1-0) Round 1 – Bert McAlroy dominated this fight with his superior boxing. The overwhelmed kickboxer Ichiro Sato did his best to fire back with a leg kick but it only prompted more abuse from the heavy handed pugilist. McAlroy channeled his inner Diaz with a slap that seemed to stun Sato. McAlroy capitalized on this by pushing forward with big punching combinations followed by a big left hook that knocked Sato out cold! Bert McAlroy def. Ichiro Sato via KO (Punch) at 0:49 of round 1! (Light-Heavyweight Division) Benjamin Read (1-1) vs. Kelvin Cadenhead (0-0) Round 1 – Four punches. That's all it took for Benjamin Read to knock out Kelvin Cadenhead. This fight was over so fast that the ring card girl hadn't even sat down yet. Read bloodied Cadenhead with a jab and worked him over with a few more punches, with the fourth winning him the fight in brutal fashion. Benjamin Read def. Kelvin Cadenhead via KO (Punch) at 0:18 of round 1. [Main Card Bouts] (Super-Heavyweight Division) JR Jenkins (2-0) vs. John Ryland (1-0) Round 1 – Jenkins jabbed Ryland in the face to start our main card off; Ryland tried to answer back but whiffed the shot. Jenkins pushed forward with a takedown into half guard on top of Jenkins and started going to work with ground and pound before advancing into mount! Ryland began desperately trying to force a standup from this horribly disadvantageous position but to no avail! Jr Jenkins managed to spend the remainder of the round on top hammering away at Ryland as the two battled for position. Round 2 – An early clinch from Jenkins started us off; after a failed takedown attempt separated the two, Jenkins clinched once again. After another failed attempt at dragging Ryland to the canvas, Jenkins brought him down with a single leg takedown. Jenkins worked some short ground n pound from half guard until Ryland exploded out of the position. The two ended up pressed against the cage. Jenkins bodied Ryland back to the ground but Ryland sprung right back to his feet with little effort. The two attempted to establish range with their punches while Jenkins continued to creep forward looking to grapple. Jenkins clinched again, threw Ryland to the ground, and once again John Ryland escaped to his feet. With time ticking away, Jenkins rushed forward, forcing a clinch, throwing Ryland to the ground. Jenkins began working for an arm triangle but contented himself with stalling out the remainder of the round on top in side control dropping short elbows. Round 3 – After an exhausting second round, Jenkins started us off with a big takedown into the guard of John Ryland. Jenkins seemed to be stalling on top, attempting to rest for a minute but Ryland took the opportunity to scramble to his feet. Jenkins immediately rushed forward, pushing his man against the cage. Jenkins brought the fight to the ground once again, land ing in guard. Once again Jenkins mostly stalled for time to recover in this top position. After about a minute of top control, the referee stood them up. Sensing that he had a gassed opponent in front of him, John Ryland started landing punches at will. Ryland was working the head and the body, landing combinations, hitting Jenkins with everything he had. The two were staggeringly tired by this point. One big punch or takedown could have won the fight for one or the other at this point. Jenkins pushed for a takedown but Ryland stuffed it with ease and went back to work with his punches. Left, right, left! Again and again Ryland punished Jenkins. Ryland cracked Jenkins with a big combination that dropped him to the canvas! He allowed Jenkins to clamber back to his feet and put him back down with a big right hand! Again Jenkins stood on wobbly legs and again Ryland dropped him with a well timed right hand! Again and again Ryland tagged Jenkins. After Jenkins went down a fourth time, the referee mercifully saved him from further abuse. John Ryland def. JR Jenkins via TKO (Strikes) at 3:42 of round 3! (Middleweight Division) Josh Blaze (0-0) vs. Jerry Spike (0-1) Round 1 – Josh Blaze came out aggressive from the getgo, throwing but not landing with frequency. Josh Blaze attempted a big takedown but nothing doing. Blaze took a big deep breath and tied Spike up in a tight clinch but then the two separated. Spike began landing punches at this point and Blaze started looking for the takedown again with no success. For the remainder of this round, Jerry Spike put on a striking clinic against his fatigued foe. Round 2 – Spike went back to work with his boxing. After four minutes of eating shots, Blaze managed to score a takedown into side control. For no reason at all, Blaze stood up and ushered Spike back to his feet. Blaze spent the remainder of the round trying to correct his mistake with another takedown but it never came. Round 3 – This round belonged entirely to Jerry Spike. Josh Blaze tried to bring the fight to the ground on multiple occasions but Spike as wise to his plans and deftly avoided it all. Spike dominated until the final bell, landing shots the entire time. Jerry Spike def. Josh Blaze via Unanimous Decision (30-25, 30-25, 30-24). (Light-Heavyweight Division) Ronan Frost (1-0) vs. Seiji Tanikawa (0-0) Round 1 – After missing a head kick and avoiding an attempted counter-left, Frost shot in for a doomed takedown attempt. Frost circled away and tagged Tanikawa with a big right hand that busted his nose up. Tanikawa was throwing full power shots that were missing by miles. As Tanikawa lunged in with a big hook, Frost cracked him with a head kick that put him down! Tanikawa seemed to wake up from hitting the mat and quickly rushed to his feet! Frost pushed forward with another head kick attempt followed by a few jabs. Tanikawa was in big trouble but defending well! Tanikawa circled away, slapping the leg of Frost with a kick as the striker moved in for the kill. Frost cracked Tanikawa with another big shot that absolutely pancaked the poor man's nose. Frost pushed forward with more punches! He sensed that he had this man hurt and almost out of the fight but Tanikawa kept defending and landing shots, defending and landing shots. Tanikawa pushed forward with a left to the boy and a right upstairs that bloodied Frost's lips! The two began exchanging power punches in the center of the cage, with Tanikawa answering Frost blow-for-blow until he dropped Frost with a big right hand! Frost jumped to his feet and Tanikawa met him on the way up with another monster right hand that put the man down once more! Tanikawa pushed forward with shots on the ground and Frost covered up, prompting a referee stoppage! Seiji Tanikawa def. Ronan Frost via TKO (Strikes) at 2:28 of round 1! (Heavyweight Division) Pekka White (2-0) vs. Penny Wise (0-2) Round 1 – Pekka White came out very aggressive with punches in the opening minute of this fight, opening a cut on the face of Penny Wise. After eating a counter-shot from Wise, White thought better of it and clinched instead. White began working heavy punches against the cage and it became clear that Wise had no answer for this style of fighting. Wise went down from big uppercuts and White finished him with punches. Pekka White def. Penny Wise via TKO (Strikes) at 2:57 of round 1! (Welterweight Division) Fredrik White (5-0) vs. Moussa Bouba (1-0) Round 1 – Fredrik White opened this fight with a jab that busted up the nose of Moussa Bouba. White followed it with a big shot to the solar plexus. Bouba tried to clinch but White backed away and tagged him with another big shot up the middle. White circled away, landing a jab as he moved back to the center of the ring. Bouba clinched and tried to push White against the cage; White was having none of it, he reversed and pushed Bouba's back to the wall. After defending a takedown attempt from Bouba, White started pouring on short range punches. White landed short hooks to the body, a big left hook to the head, and pulled out of the clinch.

  16. SENSEI FC 11: White vs Bouba is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by SENSEI FC, in conjunction with Paddy's Enhancing Drugs (160Q) on February 13, 2022 at Hayashi's Lounge in Tokyo, Japan. [Official Preview] [Main Card Bouts] (Welterweight Division) Fredrik White (5-0) vs. Moussa Bouba (1-0) Undefeated Muay Thai kickboxer Fredrik White was originally born in Helsinki, Finland, but has relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada, bringing Long before relocating to Las Vegas, Nevada, Muay Thai stylist Fredrik White fought in the local QFC circuit of Helsinki, Finland. There he quickly made a name for himself as a devastating striker with powerful, technical strikes with a world class clinch game. He made his MMA debut against Magomed Kharimvotrik, a submission grappler. White made short work of the man, bringing the fight to him in the opening seconds before tying him up against the cage. Just one minute into the opening around, Kharimvotrik wilted under the relentless pressure of White's punches against the cage. Next he was paired up against fellow Muay Thai stylist Luke Rockhold. Once again the fight took place mostly in the clinch with White dominating and finishing his opponent against the cage. In his third bout, Fredrik White faced adversity for the first time in his MMA career when wrestler Joe Pills took him down in the opening seconds of their fight. White survived and controlled until the referee stood them up and finished Pills with brutal strikes from the outside. In his final appearance in the QFC arena, Fredrik faced a boxer by the name of Arunas Ziemelis. This man was arguably as good of a boxer as Fredrik White himself but he never had the chance to prove it. White did what he does best: push the pace, force his opponent to clinch, and make it an ugly experience for the man across the cage. All of Ziemelis's experience with boxing failed to prepare him for the brutality of fighting White in the clinch. Soon he became the fourth man in seven days to fall to the professional fury of Fredrik White. Fredrik White's most recent fight came at SENSEI FC 6 where he faced off against acclaimed Muay Thai striker Jaden Tufalo. This would prove to be the hardest fight of Fredrik White's career as Tufalo was capable of hanging with him in the clinch. The two battled for twenty-five minutes both against the cage and at a distance. Although White was arguably landing the better shots, his face clearly wore the marks of battle. At the end of the day we had a bloodied but unbroken Fredrik White holding his hands in the air. Born and raised in Douala, Cameroon, Moussa Bouba struck out on his own at a young age to train in the gentle art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He proved to be a talented grappler, eventually earning a brown belt in the art. He had never dreamed of actually having to use his skills as a prizefighter, he simply wanted to learn to defend himself while practicing something he enjoyed. After some gentle urging from teammates, Moussa agreed to take a single fight just for the experience; he signed with the SENSEI FC promotion shortly after. At SENSEI FC 8 Moussa Bouba faced off against fellow brown belt Patrick Hall. “Just stick to my training,” Bouba told himself as he stared across the cage at Hall. Bouba was shocked when he ate a big punch immediately but then his training kicked in and he tied Hall up, pulled guard, and began working for a submission immediately. Hall defended well but attempted an ill timed scramble to escape and fell into an armbar from his wily opponent. Bouba may lack the blood lust of some of his fellow fighters but he has realized that he has a real talent for fighting and wants to see how far this can go. (Heavyweight Division) Pekka White (2-0) vs. Penny Wise (0-2) Helsinki, Finland native Pekka White is an undefeated Muay Thai stylist known for his devastating striking power and threat of clinch control. White made his MMA debut in the local QFC arena where he faced off against undefeated kickboxer Joe Barbaro. The two strikers exchanged big shots in the opening seconds before Barbaro initiated a clinch. After three minutes of grueling striking against the cage, White hurt Barbaro with a punch and finished him with power punches at a distance. Next White faced 1-0 wrestling prospect Killer Return. After surviving Return's ground onslaught in the first round, a clinch battle ensued in the second frame which strongly played into White's game. Midway through the second round, White hurt Return with big shots against the cage and finished him with followup action. Known affectionately as “The Politician” by friends, Penny Wise is a boxer from St Petersberg, Germany. Much like his opponent, Wise has thus far fought out his career in the QFC arena across two bouts. Wise made his MMA debut against submission grappler Mohamed El Shaarawy. Wise came out aggressive, looking to assert his dominance early on but ran into a brutal head kick from Shaarawy that pu him down but not out. Penny Wise managed to make a big comeback, dominating the remainder of the opening round. Penny ran away with the lead in the second round, thwarting all of the grappling attempts of his opponent while picking him apart from the outside. In the third round however, El Shaarawy scored a takedown into mount, finishing the fight via rear naked choke. Next Penny Wise was paired up with undefeated Muay Thai striker Powder Puff. Despite his less than intimidating name, Puff carried some serious power with his shots. Wise discovered this first hand when he was dropped with an uppercut and later finished with a barrage of punches against the cage, just thirty seconds in the opening round. (Light-Heavyweight Division) Ronan Frost (1-0) vs. Seiji Tanikawa (0-0) Originally from Nottingham, England Ronan Frost moved to London to follow his dreams of becoming an MMA world champion. Having aligned himself with the management of Ben Hornby and the Golden Team, Ronan trains out of the London MMA Club alongside champions Enzo Williams and Mariusz Dominator who compete elsewhere. Ronan made his professional debut at SENSEI FC 6 where he faced off against iron chinned brawler Razan Hase. The bout would prove to be an exciting one with both men trading big shots as soon as the opening bell sounded. After battering Hase for the better part of a minute, Frost brought the fight to the ground to prove that he could. After standing back up, Frost cracked Hase with a big head kick that sent him tumbling to the canvas. After the two went back at in the center of the cage, Frost clinched and pulled guard. Although Hase reversed to the top position, he fell into the guillotine choke of Ronan Frost. Seiji Tanikawa is a freestyle fighter originally from Osaka, Japan, currently living and training out of London, England. Seiji trains out of the Gym Goroshi London training center. (Middleweight Division) Josh Blaze (0-0) vs. Jerry Spike (0-1) Originally from Auckland, New Zealand, Josh Blaze lives and trains out of Sydney, Australia where he has been training in preparation of his long anticipated MMA debut. When asked about his martial arts background, Josh blaze was self-described as a boxer but assures this writer that his ground game is solid. Equal to the challenge is Los Angeles, California native Jerry Spike. In his lone MMA bout, Spike was paired up with undefeated backyard legend Timo White, who would go on to win four MMA bouts before disappearing just as abruptly as he appeared. Spike became the third of four men to fall to the shocking power of White. By all accounts he has learned from this painful lesson and is ready to prove himself in his promotional debut. (Super-Heavyweight Division) JR Jenkins (2-0) vs. John Ryland (1-0) Undefeated sensation JR Jenkins is a talented wrestling standout that has earned a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Jenkins made his MMA debut as so many did in the local QFC scene where he earned a unanimous decision over fellow wrestler Bob MCBobington. Not long after, Jenkins signed with SENSEI FC, making his promotional debut at the organization's fourth event. His opponent was wrestling standout and BJJ purple belt Olavi Korhonen. Although his foe put up a fight in the opening round, Jenkins dominated Korhonen with his superior grappling as the two traded submission attempts. The ground and pound of Jenkins kept his opponent on the defensive throughout the opening round. In the second round, Jenkins maintained top control as he battered Korhonen with heavy shots before hurting and finishing him. Promotional newcomer John Ryland has a tall order ahead of him in this bout but he has declared himself up to the task. In his lone MMA bout, Ryland faced off against an undefeated local brawler in the QFC arena. After struggling through early adversity in the opening minutes of the fight, Ryland came back with a big display of heart to knock his opponent out cold with punches. [Undercard Bouts] (Light-Heavyweight Division) Benjamin Read (1-1) vs. Kelvin Cadenhead (0-0) Teased by teammates for his thick English accent, Benjamin Read is a longtime resident of Hilo, Hawaii. He is a heavy handed boxer that made his MMA debut in the regional QFC circuit. In his debut performance he was paired up with future Slavic Fighting League light-heavyweight champion Boryenka Belsky. That would prove to be a tough night out for Read, who had never experienced any form of grappling in any of his boxing matches and was caught off guard by the abrupt change in rules. Despite this setback, Read signed with SENSEI FC and made his promotional debut at SENSEI FC 4 against undefeated kickboxer Hendrix Parker. The two striking aficionados met in the center of the cage trading heavy leather with both men landing big punches. Although Parker seemed to be getting the better of the initial exchanges, it was the raw horse power of Benjamin Read that put his opponent down for the count, earning himself a lightning fast first round knockout. Kelvin Cadenhead is the next stalwart kickboxer to challenge Read to half dressed fisticuffs. Cadenhead is a longtime resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, where he trains out of the prestigious Scrap Squad gym. With a sparring partner like Anti Championship Berkut featherweight champion Vasily Grossman, Cadenhead has a wealth of fighting knowledge under his belt coming into this exciting MMA debut. (Welterweight Division) Bert McAlroy (4-1) vs. Ichiro Sato (1-0) Described by pundits as the dark horse of the SENSEI FC 11 prelims, Bert McAlroy has a wealth of experience under his proverbial belt already. Bert entered into MMA by taking part in the QFC 1078 Welterweight Tournament where he knocked out Yibo Chang, Chopper Durill, Isidro Alvarado, and James Jones to become the tournament champion. He was quickly signed up to compete in the Newark Regional Circuit's New Years Eve event last year. There he was paired up with phenom wrestling standout Lars Phantom. Although the entirety of their bout would take place on the feet, McAlroy would show moments of ground competence when he reversed the talented wrestler in a shocking display of defensive grappling. In the end, the top control and ground strikes of Phantom would force the referee to end the winning streak of the undefeated slugger from Seattle, Washington. At only twenty-two years of age, it's easy to see why many are calling Bert McAlroy the up and coming fighter to watch coming into this match. Originally from Saitama, Japan, Ichiro “Zero” Sato has relocated to London, England, where he trains out of the Gym Goroshi London training center. Ichiro made his MMA debut at SENSEI FC 6 where he faced off against BJJ brown belt Vernik Dahl. Sato put on a kickboxing clinic against Dahl, chopping away at the man's legs before putting him on his back with a monster of a head kick. One minute into the round, Sato cleaned Dahl's clock with a left hook straight out of Rocky 3, earning him the first round knockout victory. (Light-Heavyweight Division) Masa Saitoh (0-0) vs. Killian Finbarr (0-0) We have two MMA newcomers making their professional debuts against one another in this exciting preliminary bout. According to my personal spy within his fight camp, Masa Saitoh seems to be fairly well rounded although I've received no definitive glimpse at what he does best or how he will approach this fight. Seeing as how he has a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, logic would lead me to assume that he means to turn this into an ugly grappling match while he searches for the submission. Ugly it will have to be since he has a tall mountain to climb against Irish Killian Finbarr. Reportedly a talented striker, Finbarr would be the first to tell you that his grappling is extremely limited at best. Will he be able to put Saitoh away before getting taken down? (Lightweight Division) Gervonta Davis (0-0) vs. Harada Sanosuke (0-1) Known affectionately by teammates as “Tank”, Gervonta Davis is making his MMA debut here. Described as a striker, Davis trains out of St Petersburg, Germany where he trains alongside Saul Alvarez. Across the cage will be returning SENSEI FC fighter Harada Sanosuke. Having made his debut at SENSEI FC 5, Harada showcased powerful takedowns whn he faced off against Adolfo Uchiha. Although that fight did not go Sanosuke's way, he vows that he has overcome the issues that plagued him in his last appearance and will be able to put his skills on full display this time around. (Middleweight Division) Genji Okumichi (0-1) vs. Saul Alvarez (0-0) Hailing out of Kyoto, Japan, Genji Okumichi is a former amateur boxer that is making his return to the SENSEI FC cage. He previously competed at SENSEI FC 4 where he fell victim to the grappling prowess of Jomar Habbestano. Originally from Guadalajara, Mexico, Saul Alvarez is a striker that has put himself under the tutelage of Frank Costello. Having moved to St Petersburg, Germany to begin training in mixed martial arts, Saul is making his MMA debut in this match which promises to deliver fireworks.

  17. Those 2 accounts you linked were VIP managers who went inactive. Topo made avatars. The other guy was in some Brazilian alliance iirc. Also, those accounts weren't made 1-2 days after yours. Look at the ID's. What are the odds? Damn near none. And of all the orgs to sign... GAMMA? Deamus' alliance... Hmmm. 🤔 Wait? You mean Moses tried to score TD and win via GNP? 😲 IDK why a fighter with elite KO power, elite wrestling, and elite GNP would ever consider such things? It was his style. Fedor doesn't get scared of Big Nog's guard. I think we could've nerfed Womba ground game a lot more. People just weren't aware of the super cheesy ground defense with 100% control and 80-90% counter. The ground game hasn't changed. Ref stand ups always been grappler kryptonite. Tonal's streak vs top competition was 18-4 (I'm starting with everything post back to back GAMMA losses to J Breaker). If Womba's streak fighting top comp starts at EMPIRE (despite fighting plenty of top comp prior to signing there like Murdock #2 P4P, Marshall #4 P4P, Sullivan #11 P4P, Nabijos #17 P4P) then Womba went 21-2-1. Tonal's age drop off 33 y/o. He walked away at 30 y/o. None of his losses, minus Womba, were post age drop off. Womba hit age drop off at 35. Went 6-6 post age drop off. 1-1 vs Tonal. Before age drop off, Womba was 40-6-1. Tonal was 35-8.... 33-8 if you don't count the QFC multi fights. Womba fought 21 times against fighters that reached #1 in their weight class. Didn't bother with the rest of it, but Womba clearly has more legacy points by every metric. Dude, so wrong lol. I've been one of the very best managers in this game since I stepped down at 2009. Did I have the best fighters? No. But I wasn't farming fighters on a multi and picking up granite chin prospects lol. Look at my first batch of 18 year olds, ever. "The Godfather" Don Marciano #1 P4P "One Bad Man" Moses Diggs #2 P4P "The Tasmanian Devil" Taj al Din #1 P4P "Just a Buffalo Soldier" Bob Chong #35 P4P (CFC HW HOF career) "The Mighty" Qing Kong #1 P4P KT (zero confidence) And what happened? I became reliant on picking up FA goods and stopped cooking my own homegrown projects. Had a full roster for years, these fighters above created in 2010 and some didn't retire until 2014-2015. I never had another large batch of projects, literally until 350K. I basically got stuck how LT got stuck. Picking up FA leftovers, and not creating/farming your own fighters. Your roster ages out. "Deus de Guerra" Pluto Palhares (#2 P4P - EVO champ) Ben "Balls of " Stone (#21 P4P - chinless, #2 W/C, Syn and ONI champ) Leonidas "卍eus ☮" Katsaros (#9 P4P, #2 W/C) "Heartless" Patrick McWhiskey (#5 P4P, #1 W/C) Ichiro "War Machine" Takahashi (#38 P4P, #3 W/C, CEC champ) "Rasta" Ziggy Cliff (#16 P4P, #2 W/C) Musashi "Kamikaze" Kato (#37 P4P, #1 W/C) Enzo "Knuckle�head" Moretti (#21 P4P, #2 W/C, EVO and CEC champ) I know you've always had a hard time accepting this, but before you even joined Convicted people considered me one of the GOATs 🤷‍♂️ I've been "top manager" elite level since 2009-2010. In 2010 I got to #1 manager fairly quickly after my comeback. I was #9 ranked manager before disappearing near end of 2009. shiiiiiiiiit I did all this while living a life and doing shit most of ya'll can't relate to or even fathom 😈 ^^^ which is a good thing, but poor man Lee Murray dominated the tycoon circuit and street life for a long time The life of a male prostitute is both dangerous and exciting. Gotta remember, LT and me go back to DBA in the MMArmy days before tycoon. If LT were to do a HOF speech, I'm sure I'd be one of the few people he mentions. If I were to do a HOF speech, he'd be one of the few people I mention. We helped each other plenty, and more than adequately operated on our own. We're the GOATs for a reason 😇 btw, idgaf if Tonal was multi-farmed or not. Irrelevant to how I compare his career to Womba's. I was always on Team Tonal when it came to who the more talented fighter was, but career wise, Womba has more legacy points.

  18. It's an MMA manager game. I fully support managers having the freedom to decline fights for their fighters whenever they want, for whatever reason they want. The key is for Org owners to also have that same freedom to not offer that manager's fighters any contracts due to their managerial decisions, and when/if they have that manager's fighters under contract, they have the freedom to simply hold the fighter hostage letting him rot out his prime years. We can police ourselves and take care of this.

  19. Hey now. In the past I've made it clear that I accept declining fights happily so long as the person gives me an explanation. I tended not to renew fighters that routinely refused reasonable fight offers due to skills unless they had the hype to make them worthwhile... but who needs the headache? There doesn't need to be a negative dialogue over it, just quietly let them go and find somebody more agreeable with how you do business.

  21. Paddy "360°" Mcgillicutty 7-2-0 373 p4p(Owner and manager of Paddy's Enhancing Drugs) Well, live and learn I guess. My debut was OK, but I still have to figure out my style a bit more as this didn't work out. I managed to keep it close at times, but never really managed to fight my fight. Glad that the début vibes are over and ready to rebuild. Congrats to my opponent and thanks for the showing of respect post-fight! Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision. Judge Yukihiro Yamamoto scores the fight 28:29 Judge Shigeki Fujiwara scores the fight 27:30 Judge Shigeki Sano scores the fight 29:29 In favor of your winner, by majority decision... Lusmu Kutvonen!Lusmu Kutvonen really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that Paddy's Enhancing Drugs (160Q) logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty.
