Update: 135 145 265

The brackets are set but I am having to make a few last minute changes to a few places. So this is the bracket but if a fighter changed his name or went inactive, etc. I will update the bracket by subbing out the fighter and posting the new bracket here. But, if Fighter A fights Fighter B and Fighter C fights Fighter D, that will stay the same. But if B is inactive, it'll be Fighter A vs Fighter B.2. I wont change the bracket itself, just swapping out the inactive fighters with active fighters. The seeding stays the same. Now that Ive confused you have a great day. haha

just need 1 more 205 fighter to finish that bracket.

Just so everyone can see the date of the first round for each bracket. You can look on the org home page and see this info, but here it is for you here.

135 (6/18/21) 145 (6/18/21) 155 (6/25/21) 170 (6/26/21) 185 (7/2/21) 205 (7/3/21) 265 (6/19/21)

The first round for 135 and 145 takes place on 06/18. I'm about to post brackets for the closed groups. Once the group fills up I will post a bracket for it as well. We'll also start sending fight offers for these brackets ASAP. If we do not get enough sign ups to fill out all of the 16 man brackets by 06/01 I will assign first round bye's to the more experienced fighters based on record. So if we have 12 entries, 4 will receive a first round bye. And the 4 entries with the best record will get the bye.

We are also holding test fights next week for any fighters who may want to get in a quick test fight. Card will be held on May 11th which is next Tuesday. It can be one of these fighters or another. Open to anyone who needs a test fight. single 1 round 3 minute fight on a 1 fight contract to fill up the card.

Ok guys, we need only a few more fighters to sign up to get the brackets made. We need 1 more at 135, 145, and 265 to complete those brackets as an 8 man tournament. We need up to 5 more at 205, 185, and 155 2 more at 170 If we cant fill up the 155, 170, 185 or 205 with 16 we will be ok and just give a few first round byes to the more experienced fighters in the bracket and run it as a 16 man bracket. As soon as we have any of these filled up I will create a bracket and post it so you know who your first opponent will be. The bracket will be randomly generated but I may make minor adjustments to prevent anyone from fighting their own fighter (I have 2 managers with 2 fighters in a weight class) or to keep an older fighter from fighting a younger fighter if that lines up. like a 18 year old shouldnt fight a 24 year old in round 1.

I have added them both and am updating the list in the tournament thread this list is now outdated.

I'll join

Hello 370k! Brass Knuckle Fight Club is a newer 370k org on the scene. With about 170 fighters already on the roster between all divisions we are holding an initial sorter series tournament to kick things off and establish not only our first set of rankings, but also our first ever division champions! A reward of 50k will go out to each winner of each division, along with the title. A 10k sponsorship offer has been pledged from either Hardcore Alchemy or Hardcore Clothing to the finalists of each division. Also, anyone who wants a sponsorship from either of those companies has been asked to contact J.W. Hardman for an entry level sponsorship offer. Any 370k fighters who wish to participate are encouraged to sign up by sending me a message in game or posting your intent on this forum. If you are not already a member of BKFC, we will send you a contract. Contracts will be 4k/4k/4k for the tournament and 5k/5k/5k for experienced managers. The finalists of each division will receive a contract extension with an additional 10k signing bonus as well. We need a minimum of 8 fighters to start a bracket. Each bracket will start off for the championship. Once a fighter has been eliminated from championship bracket, he will enter a secondary bracket to help establish a ranking system for the division. The championship bracket will be single elimination as will the secondary bracket. Even though your fighter has been eliminated from both brackets, we will continue to offer fights against other fighters eliminated and so forth. The fights will be taking place 3-4 weeks apart. Most likely 4 weeks between rounds, but not set in stone as it yet depends on the size of some of the brackets. But we want to make sure that you will have plenty of time between fights to develop and train your fighters as well as recover from previous rounds. If any other managers or companies would like to contribute to the prize pool or offer other incentives or partnerships, please contact myself or Alexi Smirnov for further information. If it pertains directly to this tournament please contact myself first as I am heading up this monster. The sign up list is as follows. I will update as I get more signups.

More fighters can sign up, this just means that that division has the minimum needed to kick off the tournament.

looking good so far with sign ups keep them coming in guys. remember this is for the first ever title holders but also for first rankings. even if u lose the fight for championship will still fight other guys who get eliminated to establish place in division.

Now that things are settling we can start signing up fighters for our championship series tournaments. We will be holding one tournament for each division, 135-265 for our first ever crowned champions. If we get more members to sign up for 265+ will also hold tournament for that division. Each tournament will be a minimum of 8 fighters per division. Will also send message in game for the newer managers who don't use forums much yet. As fighters sign up will put them on list here to update everyone. If you wish to sign up please message me in game or post interest on the forum. Any fighter not signed to BKFC is more than welcome to sign up and join our ranks for your shot at glory. All contracts will be 4k/4k/4k entry level. Experienced managers will be offered 5k/5k/5k if you ask. Crowned champions will get a 10k contract signing bonus for their extension along with the belt, fame, glory, and women that come along with it. Seeding will be random. Start date for tournaments we hope to kick off by first of June, but this will depend on the sign ups.

Ziggy Ozbourne Ziggy? Who is Ziggy? Many of you have asked this question when you saw him listed on a fight card, or perhaps now as you read this article. Who the hell is Ziggy Ozbourne? Is that one of Ozzy's kids? Did the chick decide to identify as a dude? No, thankfully not that. Ziggy may have ties to the Ozbournes of rock, but none that he has ever admitted publicly. Ziggy's childhood was uneventful, to say the least. He grew up in a split home after his parents divorced before his first birthday. Ziggy lived with his mother, his father a cop who lived but a few miles away never seemed to want to have anything to do with Ziggy, and after a while, Ziggy didn't mind. He instead focused his energies on football. In middle school, Ziggy was one of the smallest kids to try out for the team. The coaches took him for a joke but let him try out with the squad and were pleasantly surprised at his instincts. Ziggy had a way of always getting open, his agility and quickness allowed him to cover the faster and bigger kids. It didn't take long before Ziggy was playing at a high level both in the secondary as well as at wide out. In high school, Ziggy took it to the next level where he lead his team to the Alabama state championship game in back to back years, winning the first in overtime and the second by way of blowout. He was highly recruited by top universities including Alabama, Texas A&M, Florida, and Clemson. He could have had a full ride off of his physical gifts, but he shocked the world by turning down the option to go to college to play ball. Ziggy had been studying martial arts during high school which helped him with his balance, flexibility, and quickness. His ability to read movements of opponents and predict what they were about to do allowed him a huge advantage in football. But he wanted to hone in on that skill at it's core, in pure hand to hand combat. No team, no pads, no pussy quarter backs. Ziggy decided to give MMA a shot before he completely closed the door on his college football career. He took up a fight offer at HFC for a single fight in the young up and coming brand. His manager Andrew Wittig has close ties to HFC, so it was easy to get a fight in the pros as a virtual unknown. Ziggy trained and took advantage of this opportunity, displaying his raw athleticism in his first ever MMA bout against Issa Kassib where he scored a 26 second KO victory over the unexpecting Kassib. This lit a fire inside of Ziggy that has fueled him to this day. He took a full time contract with BFC and went right to work on Albert Lawrence. Staying true to his style, Ziggy finished Lawrence in first round fashion by way of a brutal TKO stoppage. Next, Ziggy went strait after the mouthiest son of a bitch in the organization, Nathan Dylan. They talked some shit, signed the fight, and then at the last second, some would argue out of fear, but Dylan claims he wanted to be the main event, Dylan missed weight cut and intentionally threw the fight. Ziggy had to wait for his opportunity to step back into the cage after the layoff from the Dylan debacle. He finally got another chance when he stepped into the cage with Brandon Graves at BFC HARDCORE 5. Another TKO victory for Ziggy in the first and now Ziggy stands looking down the tunnel at his next opponent, Samuel Rodrigues. Ziggy grew up watching Ziggy terrorize the HFC, and now here he is with a chance to fight the legend himself. This is the biggest fight of Ziggy's career. His striking is on another level than that of Rodrigues, but Rodrigues is one of the best submission artists of his generation. This fight is no gimmie, and Ziggy will have to be on point to keep his undefeated record in tact against a legend. But if he wins this next fight against Rodrigues, he will no longer be "Ziggy who?" as he will surely be knocking on the door as a contender in the BFC lightweight division and well on his way to becoming a household name.

Ronnie Bass In the world of MMA, there is a brand that sticks out to many for their low blows and ownerships continuing to not only look the other way, but highly encourage low blows and cheap shots. That company is none other than Sucker Punch, and the fighters within the organization love it. Joining SP at a young age, after only three fights at the amateur QFC ranks, was a young hard hitting striker named Bass. Going 3-0 at QFC, all wins by (T)KO (2 of them 1st minute go to sleep bitch KO's) Bass decided he wanted to take a shot at the pros. As he looked at some of the organizations who he could sign on with, only two names really stood out as candidates, BFC and SP. His buddy Ziggy went over to BFC and bid him to join, but Bass always fancied himself a street fighter, and the whole "low blows welcome" just seemed like an organization giving his guys another way to win... or lose, should you get caught. BFC was great, had some great competition, but something about the young start up company and it's staff that told Bass this was the place. An energetic go-getter of an owner, a cute and quirky reporter, and the worlds most beloved and simultaneously hated ass donkey in the MMA world. Yes, this is where he would make his mark. If someone thought they could get away with a low blow against him, he'd just simply knock them the fuck out. In his SP debut, Bass faced Tik Tok and introduced SP to the pure KO power that Bass possessed. A 20 second KO telling the rest of the division there's a new guy in town, and this one has some dangerous striking power. His second fight, Igor Vovchanchyn got to face Bass in the second round of the CSS tournament and was also introduced to the striking power of the new kid on the block. To Igor's credit, he almost made it to the three minute mark before being pummeled by shot after shot after catching that devastating power right from Bass. In the final round of the CSS, Bass found himself paired up with the only other fighter left standing in DJ Costune. Costune is another heavy hitter, so everyone in the arena was expecting a KO of biblical proportions. The only question for the fans was who would be on the receiving end. Bass wasted little time in showing the SP fans who would be sleeping in this one as he dispatched Costune with a big right that put him to sleep before ever hitting the floor. Bass had made his SP debut with a tournament win and an opportunity to be the first ever crowned champion of SP. After the "loser bracket" tournament played it's way out, DJ Costune found himself besting the competition again and had won himself a shot to take on Bass for the first ever SPPS welterweight championship. As if fueled by the prize, Bass came out aggressive and took care of business, a quicker and more brutal version of their first fight, ending Costunes night after a brutal upper cut put him to sleep less than two minutes into the fight. He had done it, he was the champion. He was just getting started and already he had proven to the world he was one fo the best. He's the champ, he's one of, if not the most feared strikers in not only the division, but in the entire org. It's time to defend.. In his first ever title defense, Ronnie found himself paired up with highly talented up and comer Konrad Wagner, who also was undefeated at 5-0. For the first time, someone escaped the first round with Bass, but Bass won the round on the cards. Round two was the same, Bass came out more aggressive and scored more points, clearly winning the fight on the judges scorecards, but not able to finish off Wagner. In the 3rd, Bass got caught with a well timed counter hook that rocked Bass. About 30 seconds later, Wagner landed a hell of a head kick that KO'd Bass on the spot. Suffering his only loss of his career, Bass acknowledged his defeat and admitted that he was a bit taken aback by the challengers trash talk and general lack of manners. But it worked, they got into Bass's head and he got beat. He vowed to never let that happen again. Bass quickly vowed to be back for his belt and went to work at the gym, never to look back. His last outing, Bass rebounded in a big way against Samual Sanchez, another great fighter within the division. This fight turned out to be an absolute war. Sanchez was on the receiving end of a lot, and I do mean a lot of damage. He was rocked and knocked down repeatedly, only to find a way to stay in the fight and never giving up. For the first time in his career, Bass had been into the third round of a fight, and after dominating the first two rounds, he finally landed the power shot that put Sanchez to sleep. Sanchez had done an excellent job avoiding that big right hand, but Bass showed the world he's got some pop in that left too. Bass now faces another striker in the form of Baldomir Barbosa. With 4 (T)KO victories since joining SP, and Bass' 5, this fight is almost certainly not going the distance Will Bass add his 6th KO to his already history making KO count? Will Barbosa shock the world with his 5th, tying Bass on the record list while making his statement in the division? We caught up with Ronnie Bass shortly after agreeing to take the fight in hopes of getting a glimpse inside the head of the man hell bent on becoming a legend within the organization. Hey Ronnie, so we just got the news you inked the deal to fight Barbosa just before Christmas. Are you disappointed it's not a rematch with Wagner? Bass "Well, not really. Wagner and I will cross paths again, and the longer we wait before that happens, the better I'm going to become. So it'll happen eventually, and I'll put him down when it does." So how did it feel to bounce back last week against such a strong opponent? Bass "He was a great fighter, a tough son of a bitch. But in the end, I did me and put him down." Okay, and how about the upcoming match against Barbsoa? He's another talented striker, any fear that he may take you out? Bass chuckles to himself "Not a chance. This fight gets ended by KO, and he'll be the one smelling the salts when it's over." After the interview, Bass went into the gym and made his way to the locker room. He wasn't angry, over confident, distracted, dissuade.. no, Bass was focused, and there was not a doubt in his mind that he will win next month. Bass told us he was going to be the champ again, and with his history in the cage, and getting to meet him in person, there's not a doubt in my mind that he will, in fact, be the champ again.
