Weekend Beatdown This past weekend featured Bellicose XXXV and XXXVI, and these cards were highlighted by some huge names and some great fight build up smack talk between warriors of the cage. It's not all to often we host champions from other organizations, but when we do they put on a show. This weekend was one of such events as ENIGMA champion DeShaun Holton Jr put his 19-1 record on the line to challenge our very own superstar, Jack Adlehyde. In exchange, our featherweight champion Lewis Pendragon went to ENIGMA in a showdown against another of their best in Mickey Cowan. Unfortunately, Pendragon fell short representing Bellicose at ENIGMA, but Adlehyde defended his home turf, splitting the series 1-1. Adlehyde vs Holton Jr. There was much hype and buildup leading to this fight as Holton Jr wanted to test himself against the best, reaching out to ownership to see if this fight could happen. So hats off to a great warrior for wanting to test himself against the best. We all know that in order to be the best, you have to beat the best. And that's what Holton Jr. came to do, and that's what Adlehyde did. Adlehyde came out aggressive opening up a cut on Holton Jr. within seconds of the opening bell. Attempting to control the fight and wear down Holton in the clinch, Adlehyde clinched up but after a quick exchange of blowss, Holton broke away. Another minute later, and Adlehyde targeted the cut making it worse, propably effecting Holton's ability to see clearly. Going into defensive mode to protect his cut, Holton was caught out of position by a well timed feint that opened up a huge right to get through stopping Holton's advance in his tracks. Like a shark out for blood, Adlehyde turned it on and a quick combo put the ENIGMA champion to sleep just under 3 minutes into the very first round. I expected an absolute war in this one, and I'm sure each of these fighters did too. But Jack came out with a fire in his eyes and a mission he was hellbent on accomplishing. A huge win to add to Adlehyde's resume and he's not done yet. Following his impressive win, Jack wasted no time taking to the mic and calling out his next opponent. Jack Adlehyde "Another First round walk-off KO.. Good fight DeShaun, you’re a true warrior for stepping up to the plate. Willie Diggs.... Where you at? I don’t think you’re hurt, I think you’re scared. You gonna accept now or what? You should have kept my name outta your mouth.” Shortly after these comments reached Willie's ears, his management team reached out to ownership to accept the challenge. While this fight is yet to be booked, know that these two warriors will face off next month in another epic battle of some of the best young fighters in the world. This was a very unique card as 9 of the 10 scheduled fights ended with a KO victory, only Os and Strakapoud going at it the distance. Average Tycoon Player gets a clutch underdog win over Douglas, Kowalski hands Isopaa Mfer his second consecutive loss, Kaori gets revenge for his last loss by taking on a teammate of the last man to beat him, and much more!

We saw the headliner go the distance in an epic come from behind battle where Oliver Robson was rocked and on the ropes in the first round but managed to recover to win the next two rounds and take the fight, squarely putting himself in the #1 contender discussion. (Rankings update coming later this week!) Bantamweight champion Bethania Valverde loses a one sided decision to the new champion, Rick Richardson. Mad Hatter finds himself back in the winners circle after getting back to his roots in an impressive KO victory over Chizutere.

Big fight tonight between Jack Adlehyde and DeShaun Holton Jr. I was unable to do a preview having being called into work, but I will instead do a post fight write up for this fight and try to get some comments from the fighters and managers to go along with.

You know I'm going to have to push for this fight... lol

I worked for Brinks for 2 years. Thanks for helping me realize I have PTSD. Fuck I hate that place! lol

Bellicose XXIX 25 FEB 2023 In a card with no names, Bellicose XXIX still rumbles across the MMA world as being called the "Horton vs Diggs Showdown." Tim Horton has been one of the most vocal fighters on the Bellicose roster and has backed up his claim as "The Great White North" by performing in the cage and locking down the 185 belt. Willie Diggs is another fighter that many know from his days of dominating RISE 185 division after making his name for being a key piece in winning the Alliance World Championship for his team. He's moving up in competition and jumping into a league with much more experienced fighters and he's not been shy about the move. In signing with Bellicose, he wanted a shot at the best right out of the gate, and Tim Horton was only too willing to comply. While the rest of the card pales in comparison to the main event, many of these fighters have a lot on the line and will bring their best. Sykora and Pisswater both have seen highs and lows and are looking to turn things around. Ocampo is fresh off off two strait wins since joining Bellicose, and while he's a new guy, he's already putting his name on the map and a win over Carrillo-Moreno will surely see him move up in the rankings and see him match up against a top 10 fighter. Without going on too long, let's jump into a quick look at a few of these fights. Preliminary Bouts: Mick Madison vs Joseph Mawma Betty Crocker vs Dmitry Boytsov Osmany Pizziconi vs Michael Fochi Ingo Szopa vs Okon Omoh Undercard: Paul Kings vs Hasbulla Magomedov Paul Kings.. Same fighter, new manager. Now 1-0 under new management and not backing down for the chance to make it 2-0. Great boxer, very good at BJJ, not fully developed in the clinch yet but improving daily. He's 10cm taller and 15lbs heavier than Magomedov so this will be a micro David vs Goliath kind of fight. Maybe more like Dwarf vs Gnome? Magomedov has lost some tough fights of late and needs to bounce back here. He doesn't want to stand and bang with Kings due to the range and skill gap there, so look for him to use his size advantage to grapple up and control this fight from clinch or top position on the ground. Great wrestling, very good BJJ, but Magomedov will be a fish out of water so long as this fight stays at range. Full of Hiddens vs Darryl Haze Hiddens ended his career at ENIGMA after a 4 fight losing streak. He spent a single fight at LAFC before the org was folded into Bellicose. Since officially being on a Bellicose roster, Hiddens is 2-0 and gaining momentum. After losing 5 in a row, a 2-0 gap sounds great. But a hungry fighter wants to be great, not just sound great. With elite grappling skills and a very good striking game, Hiddens doesn't really have a weakness to exploit and in this match he has Haze overmatched across the board. This fight will test the heart and resolve of Haze and we'll see if he has that "it" factor to pull off the upset. Kanud Odimabesser vs Benjamin Noeigati Only fitting that Kanud be on the same card as Hiddens, being as they fought a close fight on the last card and Hiddens went on to win. Much like Hiddens, Kanud doesn't have a glaring weakness. He's a great striker and a great grappler, and holds a black belt in BJJ as well. He's a former champion, having won, defended, lost, and reclaimed the 170 title, so no doubt that last loss still has a sour taste in his mouth. Thank god this isn't HFC, or we'd hear CK with plenty of puns about what caused that taste in the mouth while flashing that infamously legendary logo... But Kanud steps into the cage in this one to face an older fighter with a past of his own. Noeigati lost his only title attempt at LAFC and has been up and down since having split his record 2-2-1 since. He is 0-1-1 since joining Bellicose and wants nothing more than to get that win that has evaded him so far. Odimabesser is a challenge, but it's a challenge Noeigati needs to pass to turn his career around. Luciano Ocampo vs Brendon Carrillo-Moreno I had no intention of going over undercard or lower fights, but this fight has some interesting potential and could mean a step up in competition for Ocampo should he win. When Ocampo joined Bellicose waaaaaay back in December of 22, he welcomed himself to the org with a decision win over Paul Kings. While we do prefer the finishes, a win is a win and when it's your debut in a new org, that's a great win. Follow that up with a KO win over one of the divisions top KO artists, and now you've started catching attention. In this, your third fight, while not taking on a top 5 opponent, a chance to make it 3 in a row to start your career in Bellicose at 3-0, you will start being weighted down with expectations. A win here, and those expectations will be passed as you find yourself moving up into the top 10 and looking forward to a top 5 fight to see just how badass you are. Speaking of badass, don't forget you have to win this fight first. The veteran Brendon will be more than happy to prevent you from getting that weight added to your shoulders. While his last loss was to Paul Kings, he's shown stretches of dominance thought his career at LAFC and is working on doing the same at Bellicose. Will Ocampo dispatch Carrillo-Moreno just like he did to the man that just beat him? Or will Carrillo-Moreno bounce back and derail Ocampo's early career success train? Brendon has the better wrestling, but lacks everywhere else. He's got the experience and age advantage. This likely will turn out to be one of those wrestler vs BJJ artist, but Neither's got a clear advantage on the ground. Perhaps Ocampo tries to use his slight striking advantage? I guess you'll just have to tune in to find out as this fight can really go either way and really be finished in a number of ways. Damn, MMA's fucking great, isn't it? Co-Main Event: Michal Sykora vs Natalia Pisswater Sometimes, a fighter's hype doesn't always add up to their popularity. This is one of those situations where these fighters find themselves as the co-main event tonight, and their popularity is expected to bring in the fans. Both of these guys have been in slumps of late, Sykora losing 3 of his last 4 until bouncing back at Bellicose XXII with a KO over Tadageru. I'm sure he had some pent up frustration taking on a grappler after all 3 of his last 3 losses came via submission. This may be a "trial by fire" kind of a thing where he's forced to improve his ground game to survive. But when you give a KO artist a ground game, they usually thrive. In a similar boat is Pisswater. She just snapped a 2 fight skid with a bounce back submission win over Asakura at Bellicose XXI and may be looking to duplicate that exact result against a striker who's shown he's vulnerable to submissions. He'll need to do something as he's overmatched by Pisswater on paper, but a win would be a huge boon to his career. Main Event Tim Horton vs Willie Diggs Tim "The Great White North" Horton (16-3) Age: 25 Height: 187 cm Weight: 184lbs (-1) Country: Canada (duh) Manager: Teyo Ken Tim has been a mainstay in the spotlight for most of his Bellicose career. With an impressive 16-3 record, and a short lived reign as a two division champion, Horton is stepping up into one of the biggest fights of his career. Hell, by the time this night is over, it could even end up being the biggest fight of his career. He's faced champions before, rather at 185 or 170, and he's beat most of them. This time around, he has the advantage of experience, but no by much. He's the favorite to win based on experience and age alone, but these guys are very evenly matched. He's never squared off against a prodigy before, and there's no other way to better describe his opponent, Willie Diggs, and I'm not willing to say that either of these guys is the favorite to win. "Playoff" Willie Diggs (13-3) Age: 23 Height: 184 cm Weight: 187lbs Country: USA Manager: Chris Karter Willie has had a very interesting career. His start came when he joined the Alliance World Championship tournament after being recruited by Chris Karter to represent him on the team. Willie was raw, fresh off the streets when Karter found him, and it showed in the cage. He stumbled a bit early on, though there's rumors out of camp Karter that the poor fighting was all by design and to his own agenda. Well, rather it's true or Diggs just really developed well, it worked. Diggs went on a winning streak and some would say even carried his team to victory in that tournament. He stayed on with the org and became a member of their extremely talented roster where he never looked back. Three fights in, he was the champion. The following three fights, he defended his belt. Looking to move on to bigger and better things, Diggs decided to give Bellicose a stop on his way to stardom to test himself against the best. And, here we go. First fight in a Bellicose cage and it will be for all the glory. Not only would a win here be an upset due to skill and age difference, it would solidify Diggs as a prodigy and it will only be a matter of time before we see him in the top 5 P4P rankings calling out his shot at the champ. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Diggs is a beast, but he's fighting a machine. This could be the fight of the year, and you can see it live in New York or tune in to our PPV and watch it on the big screen.

Sonny is inactive, which is why I stepped back in to reclaim Bellicose. I owned and operated the org for 9 1/2 of the 12 months this year if you include the new Bellicose. These are all great options for orgs, and each hit a low on the year. It's hard to count out any single one on this list for a rough patch. I'm honored to have been nominated no matter how the vote ends.

Looking for an experienced match maker. I will pay you well to take on this duty for me. I just need a break from this for a while, and if I can find a good match maker, I am more than happy to let it be a full time position.

155 Title Bracket Round 2 has been booked with fight offers sent out. Awaiting on Perkele to extend the contract to continue, but round two will take place March 15, 2023. In round one, Adam East never accepted the fight offering (due to manager issues outside of the game) therefor forfeiting the round to Alkum. Ispa Perkele continues to show why he's sitting as the fan favorite at the top of the division as he advances to the semi finals. Dunbar falls short to Akhtankhanov who was looking ahead the whole time and has no plans on looking back. Cartwright continues to build on this mid career surge as he's on a nice little win streak and will be looking to prove to the world that he's no joke, he's just finally found his game. So, who's going to win it all? Any picks? Any bets being made now? Give me your picks below on who you think will win not only the next round, but the whole thing? Who will be the new lightweight champion? If you pick the eventual bracket winner now (correctly), with two rounds to go, I will throw a little cash prize you way. This will need to be posted to the forum below, and must be posted by the end of February.

Looking for 1-2 writers to handle full time writing for Bellicose. I would like to have previews done for both events weekly and a week end's recap. At the very least, I'm ok with the weekly recap to encompass both events. Let me know if you're interested and how much you want in compensation. The more you do, the more you'll make. Up to you how much you would want to take on. Also looking for a manager to take on the official social media account for Bellicose to help keep a lively atmosphere around the org to help promote manager participation.

I have some time at work so I went ahead and did a little recap of the tournament for this org. Here goes. All or Nothting KT Knockout Series - Season 1 - Round 1 In what was a history making night in MMAT history, AON launched the first of it's line in the All or Nothing Knockout! series! This season is a round robin format that scores points based on performance over wins. This series will evolve over time as seasons stack up, but this ground breaking tournament is what we hope will be the first of a long line of fun filled, hard hitting action between some of the best young talent in the world. Each fighter will fight every other fighter once per season, scoring points along the way. Points are very basic and simple. Win: 2 points TKO/KO: 5 points Inflict Cut: 1 point Decision: -1 point Our first event kicked off on January 29th, 2023 and the results are in. Let's take a look! Maximus Bane DEFEATS Tau Moti In a first round of action both fighters came out aggressive looking to take full advantage of their striking. With this format on the line, a KO means everything. So much action that in under a minute, Moti was already bleeding. He managed to take the fight into the clinch to protect himself, but all that did was expedite his end as Bane lit things up in the clinch stepping up the aggression and landing 31 of 44 shots compared to Moti's 6 of 27 shots. Surviving the round, the fighters go to their corners for coaching adjustments, and in the case of Moti, a cold press on his cut to help slow the bleeding. As the fighters met again in the center of the ring, Bane picked up where he left off and never gave Moti a chance, landing 2 power shots right out of the gate, knocking Moti out nearly instantly. Bane Win - 2 KO - 5 Cut - 1 Total - 8 points Iggy Pop DEFEATS Kofi Akakpo Another fight with a quick and furious finish that took all of 2 and a half minutes to end as Iggy Pop laid down the hammer on the clinch rapist Akakpo. When a clinch fighter takes the fight to the clinch against another clinch fighter, chances are whoever the aggressor is will end up working over the opponent, assuming he has the power to do some damage. In this fight, that appears to be what happened. Pop emerged after this fight as an early favorite the way he worked over Akakpo opening up one hell of a nasty cut on Akakpo. Honestly, many people thought the fight should have been called due to the cut and potential permanent damage, but Pop took matters into his own hands and put Akakpo out of his misery with a huge upper cut half way through the first round. Pop Win - 2 KO - 5 Cut - 1 Total - 8 Points Simba Osei DEFEATS Peter Dekkers In a fight that had many fans scratching their heads, Osei came out fast and furious nearly instantly taking the fight into the clinch where he has focused his training, and Dekkers was overmatched and appeared to want no part of it. And who can blame him, he was getting worked over! Repeatedly breaking clinch to get back to range and keep himself alive. But, after getting cut and beat down in the clinch, Dekkers himself decided to start taking the fight to the clinch. If the fight had made it to the 2nd round, perhaps adjustments would have been made. But as it stands, the clinch was his downfall, and Osei was more than happy to to put Dekkers on his ass. When they got up, Osei rushed back in with a killer instinct that will serve him well and landed a huge right that knocked Dekkers out cold! Osei Win - 2 KO - 5 Cut - 1 Total - 8 points Dekkers Cut - 1 Total - 1 point Erland Van Grossberger DEFEATS Erron Black Another quickie, sorry ladies, you don't always get what you want... where Grossberger displayed superior speed and dominance over Black. Grossberger took the fight into the clinch after a quick jab by Black, and from there, it was game over. A non stop barrage of attacks from Grossberger took Black by surprise and worked him over for a solid minute before knocking Black senseless. This may have not served him best, however, as he didn't get any points for a cut as the fight was ended so quickly. But hey, a win is a win, and especially when it ends with one many asleep or laying on his back staring at the lights above, wondering if it's a gate to heaven opening up. Grossberger Win - 2 KO - 5 Total - 7 points Murphy Law DEFEATS Ovine Thibodeaux Man, not what I expected in this one. Thibodeaux comes from a well known camp of fighters and before things kicked off, he was one of the fighters to watch to win it all in this tournament. But Law had other plans. Kind of like, Murphy's Law I suppose... This fight lasted a whopping 34 seconds and set the tone for the night as Law laid the hammer down scoring max points in a record time, putting Thibodeaux out cold in seconds. Law Win - 2 KO - 5 Cut - 1 Total - 8 points

I can stock these at my shop in Montreal if you want. I don't need the proceeds, so can send profits to you. And set the price to whatever you want.

Ron "Bellicose" Burgundy "Breaking news! I'm here with Bellicose ownership after a massive development. Outlaw has been in private discussions with one of the greatest managers in the business, Chris Karter, trying to work out a deal to bring on one of his young talented up and coming fighters. News like this makes my nipples hard! Oh, wait! Did I say that on air? Well, it does, dammit, so don't judge me. Enough about my nipples you pervs! Let's send it over to Outlaw to find out how things are developing and if they have finally worked out the details to make this happen." J.W. "Outlaw" Hardman "Thanks, Ron! I think... As you well know, we always strive to find the best young talent out there. And when you're searching for top talent as a promoter, it's a no brainer to go look at some of the top managers and let their scouting do the work for you. If you want a top quality fighter who you know is well trained and coached, you find the best managers and look no further. And that's exactly what we've been able to accomplish here today. Chris Karter is one of the greatest managers around and any fighter on his roster you know has been groomed for success. So when you see one of his young up and coming fighters with a championship pedigree like we found with Willie Diggs who is not under contract, you have to make a run. We've had our eyes on Diggs for some time. He's a top notch competitor who rose through the ranks of Rise to become one of their most dominant champions. Now I don't know the details of what happened over there, and it's not my business. I'm just glad we were able to work out a deal to bring Diggs onto the Bellicose roster. I am pleased to announce, that as of 1pm EST today here in New York, we have officially inked Willie Diggs to a 5 fight contract. And due to his championship pedigree and never having lost his belt, part of our agreement was to offer a title fight right out of the gate. This excites me to announce that we have booked a fight between Bellicose 185 champion Tim Horton and former RISE champion Willie Digs that will take place on Feb 25, 2023. This is a huge step up in competition for Diggs and he'll have his work cut out for him. But you have to love the confidence this man brings to the cage, and I can't wait to watch how this division unfolds with a new contender in the mix. At this time, I would like to introduce and welcome Willie Diggs and his manager Chris Karter to the podium." Willie Diggs "Just wanna say shoutout to JW for getting this deal done with my management team, and I only left RISE because they couldn't afford me and their owner has nazi memorabilia in his office. Besides, I was running laps around the competition and it's time to step it up. The fans were bored and I'm hungry. I want that Canadian bacon. The middleweight Championship is mine. That boy Tim Horton sweeter than maple syrup. He's softer than pancakes. I'ma melt that man faster than butter on a skillet. They call me "Championship Willie" for a reason. It's hype hunting season and I'm scalping mounties. By the way, fuck Canada, and every soft ass snowtwink that thinks they can come to the great nation of America and drive like an asshole. Black Fighters Matter."

This weekend we will have two events that feature not titles fights. The one title fight we had booked had some issues and fell through, leaving us with an unusual gap in those fights. On the flip side, we’ll have a pair of very nice cards with multiple title fights in the future which should result in a nice little hype boost. With that said, I had a little free time and wanted to do a brief preview of the weekend. I won’t be going in to detail on all of the fights, but will highlight a few areas and a few key fights that could have implications on the division title pictures. Bellicose XXI 28 JAN 2023 – New York Liberty Dome Sycek v Khanna This card is headlined by a top contender fight between Sycek and Khanna. Both have been on a win streak and have looked very good in that span, but something has to give. There can be only one. Sycek has won 5 strait and all by way of KO. When you look at his history, he’s lost 5 fights, but 1 from decision and 4 from submissions. He’s never been KO’d, and every single win on his record is by way of KO. If the guy developed his standing game, he’d have a shot at being a super star, because all of those KO’s are from his ruthless GnP. His opponent, Khanna, has a very different fighting style as he’s a striker who utilizes his range and the clinch about as well as anyone in the business. Khanna has also never been KO’d, having all of his 5 losses also from way of submission or decision. With his striking advantage over Sycek, one would assume he’d probably go for the finish and look to get to Sycek’s chin and hand him his first KO loss. But Khanna also has to have a smile on his face because his defensive grappling skills are well honed and he’s just as good of a wrestler as Sycek, but also a Black belt in BJJ. This man will not be easily defeated by way of GnP, and has the BJJ skills to possibly lock in a submission win if Sycek is not careful. This fight could very well go the distance, but there’s also a very real chance that one of these guys is handed their first KO finish of their career. Either way, one of these guys will be looking forward at a title shot in their near future. Seigel v Pustik This fight has implications for the SHW division for one of these fighters. Seigel is on a 4 fight win streak and has worked his way back up the rankings over his last couple of fights. He’s in a position now to pick up his 5th consecutive win and put himself into a possible title shot, or at the least a top contender spot in his next fight. While other fights still have a role to play in that possibility, at the very least, he will earn contender status with a shot at the top contender spot in his next bout. Pustik just snapped a 3 fight skid and will be looking to foil Seigel’s plans as he hopes to put together a streak of his own and climb his own way into contention hopes. Swahn v Briggs This is a big fight for Macka Briggs as he’s looked extremely impressive in his last 5 fights, even taking the champ to a 5 round decision where he ultimately came up short. Remember how I said other fights still can impact the Seigel contender status? This is one of those fights. If Briggs wins this fight, he’ll be 5-1 in his last 6 with his only loss to the reigning champion. A win here will put him in contender status as well, and could very well lead to a match with Seigel for the #1 contender spot in the division. Santa Perez v Quessy JSP is on his 2nd 2 fight losing streak of his career, and he is not happy about it. Last time, he bounced back and put together a win streak until moving over to the new Bellicose where he’s stumbled in adapting. But there’s reason to believe he’s turned things around and is ready to make another run of his own, and he will prove that to the world if he can defeat Quessy who not long ago found himself in title fight of his own. This is a good test for JSP, and a great opportunity to make a statement. Asakura v Pisswater I have to mention here that this fight is more important that it would seem based on the rankings. Asakura is ranked #4, and Pisswater was left off of the top 15 rankings. However, that was a mistake on my part as I thought she had been added and yet she’s not on my list. She was initially ranked at #6 in the division in my first draft before taking into account the last two fights resulting in losses which dropped her down to #10. I didn’t update that part in the rankings, but now you know. This I a fight that Asakura needs to win to move up and put himself in a top contender fight. Having won his last 3, and last two under new management, he’s making a push for the top and he’s oh so close. Pisswater, however, will be having none of that. After being a former top contender herself, she’s looking to bounce back and end this streak as she’s down, not out. Remaining fights on the card: Kaori v Boytsov Christ v Magomedov San v Taylor Badmus v Korolev Ostrowski v Bors Bellicose XXII 29 JAN 2023 – New York Liberty Dome Tadageru v Sykora This fight should mean a lot more than it does as Tadageru is currently the top ranked fighter in the division outside of our champion. He just made the move from 145 down to 135 and has to establish himself in the division while the current title fight plays out. A loss over Sykora would be a bit of a shock, but a shock that he would love to deliver on. Should Tadageru win this fight, he will be offered the title shot against the winner between Valverde and Rooster. Unfortunately, there are no other fights on this card that have any serious implications on any division. We had to substitute a last minute sparring match to open the card off after losing the originally planned title fight that was supposed to happen and headline this card. This leaves the spotlight on Tadageru to show the world what he’s got and why he deserves that title shot next. Other fights on this card: Carrillo-Moreno v Kings Odimabesser v Hiddens Oliveira v Ratt Sukbunsung v Furriel Ramano v Drozd Madison v Haze Szopa v Jensen Durall v Spar

Thanks Skenoj, but since his guys are already ready and will be much easier all around, I'll do that. And, helps him out with a test reveal as well. Much appriciated Daudy, I'll send the offer.

If someone has 2 fighters for a test fight, or two people want to throw down for whatever reason, I have an open fight slot on a card in 2 days. If someone would like to fill that slot, for whatever reason, send me a message in game.

Bellicose XX New York JAN 21 2023 A big night tonight as Bellicose XX is already upon us and we have a huge card on tap tonight. With three titles on the line tonight, and the card is headlined by our 185 division as Horton squares off against Mfer. With the huge hype of this card, we’ll be promoting another PPV for this event as more will come as the hype grows. We have an amazingly talented roster, and if you question that just tune in to any fight on the card. For this occasion, while we’re still waiting on working out a deal with a potential writer, I’ll be doing a brief preview of the title fights. I won’t be doing a full card, but you guys are more than welcome to chime in with your own fight analysis. Middleweight Title Fight Tim Horton Vs Pate Mfer Tim Horton. If you’re Canadian, you love him. If you’re a fan of MMA, you love him. If you’re an American while he’s on one of his rants (or any other country he focuses on) then you love to hate him. Either way, there’s no denying, or ignoring, the “Great White Hype.” Unless of course, you’re Dean Howard and are in protective custody to avoid the rematch long awaited. Horton is by far one of the worlds top mixed martial artists and his run at Bellicose is his resume to back it. He’s been in 9 title fights in his Bellicose career, having won 6 of them and in two different weight classes. He’s a two-time title holder, and current undisputed middleweight champion. Currently looking to make his third consecutive, and 5th title defense of his career against a dangerous challenger. Pate Mfer has one single blemish on his record, and one that he no doubt wants to run back to remedy that mistake as he was defeated by a doctor. With an impressive 9-1 record, and 5-1 since joining Bellicose, Mfer just knocked off the #1 contender in Dakota Thibodeaux Jr. Having overtaken the top contender spot, Mfer is finally ready to make his title fight debut as he steps into the cage with a legend. While the champ as a slight edge in boxing, Mfer has a sizable edge on the ground, or at least in his BJJ game. These fighters match up so well in every other aspect that you have to wonder if Pate will try to use that BJJ to his advantage. But nothing in his history suggests he would do that, so chances are we’re about to see a last man standing slug fest. Strategy will come into play for sure not only in determining who wins this fight, but how this fight ends. Will the champ look to lay the hammer down, or will he look to dance and score and win over the judges? Will Mfer give a shit? What if Mfer is the next big thing and make his case for a “legend killer” title? I don’t know about you guys, but I am absolutely stoked to see how this one turns out. And I’m sure the whole division is tuning in to see who the king of the mountain is after tonight. Featherweight Title Fight Matija Maestro Vs Lewis Pendragon While Maestro is new to Bellicose, he wasted little time in establishing himself the champ. Mind you, his opponent was not a highly ranked fighter, but at the time, many of the roster wasn’t here and he was the most worthy at the time. Now, all of our roster has come on board and we have a much deeper division. Now, Maestro will be facing a former Bellicose champion as Lewis Pendragon stakes his claim to the title in his quest to reclaim what was not long ago his. Maestro is an absolute machine. He tore through the LAFC division with reckless abandon and shows no signs of slowing down. Sitting at a perfect 17-0, the submission specialist must be chomping at the bit to start mowing down all the new talent around him. More challenges lay ahead for Maestro as this is healthy division, but he better keep his eyes on the fight in front of him and not stare into he future. While there is no question to Maestro’s talent or skill, and he’s never shown any sign of letting off the gas, you also can’t deny that Pendragon has squared off against some great fighters and found ways to win fights that he’s been the underdog for. For some reason, he seems to fight at the level of his competition and then capitalizes on his opponents mistakes. He’s been very good as mixing up his gameplan for different fighters and not being too predictable, allowing him to keep his opponents managers off balance in their game planning efforts. And sometimes, that’s all you need to level the playing field. If Pendragon can find a mistake to capitalize on, or Maestro looks ahead and lets his guard down, then we could have an upset of the year nomination. I’m glad I’m not picking fights here because I no longer pick against Pendragon, I’ve learned that lesson. But there’s no way in hell I’m picking anyone over Maestro until I see him display some form of a weakness. Bantamweight Title Fight Bethania Valverde Vs Tommy Harnick Bethania has had her ups and downs, but she’s consistently improved and has wheeled off 4 strait wins with the last being a title fight win over Stuart Burrows to capture her first belt. While Burrows was a very dangerous opponent and the favorite to win that fight, she faces another challenge in the form of the last fighter to defeat her in Tommy Harnick. Bethania was able to avenge her earlier loss against Natalia Pisswater, and she will be looking to do the same as she defends her belt against Harnick. And this fight has everything on the line, and there’s no bigger chip than the last loss on your record. Tommy lost his fight following the win over Valverde but hasn’t lost since. Gaining traction up the division as he’s win 3 strait and has to have all the confidence in the world knowing that he’s fighting at the top of his game and facing off against a fighter he has already defeated. If he can get he fight on the ground, there’s a very good chance he repeats his victory rather via submission or just controlling the fight. However, if Valverde can spend a good amount of time on her feet, she will pick apart Harnick with her striking skills and may very well get that revenge win that ensures she hangs on to her belt. I’m not sure who’s going to win any of these fights and the rankings are sure to be shook up with the results of this card. While I won’t predict who will win any of these fights, I’ll make a bold prediction… One of our belts will change hands tonight! Who, I have no fucking clue so you’ll have to buy a ticket and tune in to Bellicose XX!!

No idea why the formatting keeps resetting for the first half of this post, but oh well. Here's the rankings as of now. I didn't use our graphics because it's limiting to only the top 10 fighters. We have a top 15 system with a champion that with as deep of divisions and competition as we have needs to be displayed. So until I can find a new graphic to use, I'll be posting in plain text like this so that more fighters are represented from this talented roster. Rankings 135 – Bantamweight C – Bethania Balverde 1- Nakachi Tadageru 2- Tommy Harnick 3- Stuart Burrows 4- Kotaro Asakura 5- Jefferson Christ 6- Kaiden Thibodeaux 7- Bantam Rooster 8- Brendon Carrillo-Moreno 9- Hasbulla Magomedov 10- Agnieszka Ostrowski 11- Paul Kings 12- Rick Richardson 13- Jay Reepo 14- Luciano Ocampo 15- Mad Hatter 145 - Featherweight C – Matija Maestro 1 – Lewis Pendragon 2 – DeShawn Robinson 3 – Roko Matijevic 4 – Ispa Mfer 5 – Jeryl Christ 6 – Miyata San 7 – Philip Marcus 8 – Brian Kingman 9 – Damian Daylor 10 – Tyres Wildforss 11 – Sime Soldic 12 – Marek Cervenka 13 – Pete Vrabec 14 – Garyn Girith 15 – Bartholomew Slice 155 Lightweight C – TBD – Tournament In Progress 1 – Ispa Perkele 2 – Klaus Von Alkum 3 – Corin David 4 – Davante Dunbar 5 – Patrick Matthew 6 – Adam East 7 – Clin Cartwright 8 – Khabib Nurmagomedov 9 – Sultanbek Akhtankhanov 10 – Renato Oliveira 11 – Caelan Aengus 12 – Razor Ramano 13 – Marcos Furriel 14 – Ruud Altena 15 – Shalak Kamir 170 – Welterweight C – Jack Adlehyde Marcus Hansen Oliver Robson Ike James Tommy Vercetti Vinicius Honorio Kanud Odimabesser Timo Leyton Albert Sojka Jorge Santo Amaro Darius Frank Jay Raczynski Julius Lew Ingo Szopa Thomas Quessy Jorge Santa Perez 185 – Middleweight C – Tim Horton Pate Mfer Junior Barbosa Raja Khanna Samuel Sycek Macka Briggs Oke Swahn Atakan Akkaynak Jamil Hurst Vinicius Kicklighter Buster Glover Alexander Korolev Cam Cartwright Billy Comforto Khadem Abdul Karim Ola Badmus 205 – Light Heavyweight C – Charles Luciano Kaarlo Susi Iso Paa Dakota Thibodeaux Jr. Kurki Potku Danny Danger Hunt Mfer Hiroshima Nagasaki Ichioka Kaori Joel Miller Ian Stronk Kevin Mamar Paul Hunt Jerman Christ Chetnik Borg Eleven Bartholomew Bainbridge 265+ - Super Heavyweight C – Isopaa Mfer Bugsy Seigel Henry Dustfinger Herbert Kreischer Glover Levangasti Orestes Prometheus Alexander Rozhkov Xander Scott Calvin Deane Huber Schlesien Arthur Dougls Balthasar Van Thuringen John Boy Walton Prokop Pustik Antun Simunic Galileo Galilei

I'm sure John and I can easily work something out. He's mentioned he would be interested in some cross promotional fights and this one would make one hell of a show.

I think that would be an outstanding fight, however, I do have an opponent who has earned a title shot. I'm going to send this fight offer to Adlehyde, and we'll see if we can work out a super fight between Adlehyde and the 185 champ after.

Looking at bringing in a full time writer for our future events. He's agreed to the position, just need to finalize the pay. Hopefully we'll have regular previews again very soon. I'm also still looking to hire a graphics guy to do our fight posters. If interested, please PM me in game with your asking rate. Lastly, I've sent out fight offers to book up the next couple of events. Some of you are still waiting on an offer due to the game glitching and not allowing select fighters as options for fights. I've contacted Mike and those will be resolved soon. I've also finally removed the inactive managers from the roster. Some have been with us for a while so gave them the benefit of the doubt, but once you turn red you're as good as dead weight. Over the next few days I will update the rankings as well. Life has been a little chaotic of late from over worked to looking for work. I thank you all for your patience and baring with me though these times. I'll be looking to hire as much help as possible to keep things running smoothly and to compensate for my lack of time to do all the things you guys deserve.
