Hello my BloodBrothers, President Halle checking in for the first time in a long time. While I have been silent, the BBFC team has been working hard. Chris and Wes have done an amazing job with P4P rankings, awesome content on the forum and keeping this roster stacked with top talent. It is time I address the movement. Many managers have probably noticed but BBFC is shifting. Yes, as was the plan, forged long ago by the President of HFC, J.W. Hardman. BBFC will be in sync with HFC and help feed talent upwards. For this to happen successfully BBFC will be making the move to 360+. This is a big shift as we have some amazing talent from 355k-359k. Trust me when I say both J.W. and Igor are very excited for this new influx of talent. There will be bigger fights for all of you as you have earned. Consider this your graduation. BBFC has been quietly collecting some of the best 360k talent. As of today we have a stacked 360k roster and it is only growing and developing. Here is the plan- In May, it is business as usual, consider it BBFC’s 355k victory lap. June will be hybrid, many 355k will move up to HFC while others may take one last fight with BBFC. The goal is for by the end of June, to have BBFC fully 360k and all of our 355k-359k should be settled with HFC. We are very excited with this move and the overall growth of this org. About one year ago today I found this game and made my first fighter. It has been a whirlwind, and all the credit goes to the team around me. Also of note, we have added a 370+ org to the family. Brass Knuckles FC. This gives managers an option at 350, 360, and 370. If you have a fighter that needs a home please message us. 350K, BBFC at 360k, and BKFC at 370+. Any questions on what will happen to your fighter or what the future may look like please reach out to me directly. We will get you the contract you deserve and keep getting you big fights. As always Stay Bloody BH

Wow what a start to February!!! Three events in the next 4 days letttsss go!

Moving this thread to thread to the new BBFC thread. Stay Bloody- BH

Hello My BloodBath Faithful, It is an extreme honor and privilege to announce the combination of BloodBath Fighting Championship and CheckMate Fighting Championship. Together we will become Blood Brothers Fighting Championship (BBFC). BBFC will stay 355+ and keep the Open I.D. Division active. 2021 will be amazing for BBFC. We are combining two great organizations into one legendary one. The leadership team will consist of, President - Benjamin Halle, Chief of Staff and Design - Wes Wes and Vice President of Operations - Chris Swimmer. The transition will begin in February. If you are currently signed with BFC then all is good nothing will change except bigger fights with more hype and money. We will have new talent joining the roster. We will start running more events to accommodate the larger roster. Anyone who wants to fight will get their opportunity, this I promise. A Note from our VP of Operations Chris Swimmer - Each of you will have chance to fight in BBFC but you have to prove us that you deserve this honor!!!! Stay Bloody BH

While the cool winds blow in the north, the hot rays of the sun burn in the south, regardless of your location one thing is certain, when you enter the ring under BFC blood will be spilt. The amazing ride continues my people. We have had amazing events and KO's left and right. Our superfight is official for 12/12!!!! Our beloved 155 champ will face the fearsome Chief Aztec from CheckMate. Also our newly crowned 185 King- Winston Todd will venture to enemy territories to defend BFC honor against the CheckMate185 champ. I have full faith we will go 2-0!!!!!

HELLO HELLO!!! Another great week! This one had two amazing BFC events. First off, in Hilo, things went amazing. The Island Locals embraced us as their own, many hands were thrown, mostly in good jest. Those Hilo boys can scrap, we had some good rumbles after hours down ont he beach in a bit of a fight club scenario. A mix of fighters, BFC Staff, and Local tough guys brawled it out for hours into the night. Really a good time, Hilo we will be back!!!! Onto the cards themselves. My good people we had 17 of 20 fights end by finish. Martin Alexander in 185 wants to fight literally everybody, he looked great. Anthony Merel in 145 has been quietly dominating all his opponents. He'll be a big factor in the 145 division moving forward. 265 is also slowly heating up. Joe Krutel is only 3-0 but this recent win over the now released Tim Bieke shows he is for real. We have some amazing events coming up. Let's finish this year strong!!!!!

What a great HALLOWEEN. We were treated with our highest rated event EVER. Ahkmed proved what we all thought which is that he is a man beast. A brutal yet beautiful 1st round (T)KO victory for our 155 champ headlined our event. The 155 division was in full action. We saw a lottt of movement in our top 5. In other division(s) Justin Case is proving to be a problem for people at 135 and 145.... where will he fight next...? He has eyes on a top 5 opponent thats for sure so be on notice in those divisions. Moving forward we have a jam packed November that will have 6 action packed events. We will be making our international debut on 11/06 when we take our show to Hilo!!!! In December we will visit Las Vegas and in January we are planning a show in Europe. Be ready to travel, BFC will be flying all their fighters and their teams in first class. This will be very similar, if not better to the treatment fighters are getting on "Fight Island".

Hello My BLOODBATH Faithful!!!! How are we? What a great week. Anyone else feeling the spooky energy in the air? Halloween is here and I am soo happy about it. BLOODBATH Fighting Championship and Halloween get along great. I mean, Halloween is pretty much our official holiday. This last week we had two amazing events. Our BFC warriors showed their grit from the bottom to the top of the card. Shout out to a rising prospect in Razmik Grigorian, 2 quick wins in BFC and maybe more to come. Our 185lb Champ Tanaka Matsuda had an amazing performance with a first round Americana Submission. It earned him Sub of the Night Honors. The night before fast rising 185 contender Winston Todd cemented himself as the #1 contender after he finished Martin Alexander in the last second of the first round via a vicious award winning Headkick KO. When Todd and Matsuda face off on 11/20 if will be an epic affair. Our 170 Champ Conner Butcher has proven he is a dangerous man!! This man has not tasted defeat against any 355+ fighter and has now defended the BFC 170 Belt 3 times. We have a number one contender fight for the 170 division on 11/7 when Nimoy and Volkov face off. 10/31 we have our Halloween BASH!!! The card is STACKEDDD. Bonuses will be tripled! Shout out to Igor for a comment this week!! If we get 4 total comments this week and I am sending someone 30k (10k will keep rolling). Without further ado here are our BLOODBATH Fighting Championship Rankings. 135 C: Battaglia 1: Ness 2: Tzeng 3: Waller 4: Garbrandt 5: Csemy 145 C: Mantle 1: Rahl 2: Itzpapalotitotec 3: Merel 4: Shigochiyo 5: Drake 155 C: Dudayev 1: Stardust 2: Rodrigues 3: Minister 4: Ozbourne 5: Gehard 170 C : Butcher 1 : Volkov 2 : Nimoy 3 : Cain 4 : Matsuzaka 5: Bob 185 C: Matsuda 1: Todd 2: Jalbert 3: Alexander 4: Ortiz 5: Dembele 205 C: Randleman 1: Soares 2: Silva 3: Higgins 4: Warlowski 5: Carver 265 C : Bitch 1 : Sparrow 2 : Washington 3 : Lahey 4 : Murphy 5 : Krutel 265+ Open ID C : Torres 1 : Jackson 2 : Cole 3 : Huhrera 4: Gracie 5 : Crawford As Usual Fight ON!!!! ​-President Halle

Hello My BLOODBATH Faithful!!!! Welcome my good people. Rejoice in the new rankings, rejoice in the fact that last weeks event had 80% of the fights finish by knockout or submission, rejoice in all the glory. Another beautiful week in the Tycoon world and we had some amazing performances. Once again our HW division is putting on a show. Jack Sparrow with a vicious Superman Punch KO, reports are several members of the audience are seeking psychiatric evaluations after witnessing the hit, it was truly brutal. While our champs are vicious and battle tested, we have some fresh blood coming in that will be making things very exciting. A good example is Tian Wang in 155, dude is a beast, he got a quick KO win and already asked for a quick turnaround. We will see him on our 10/31 card. Speaking of which, we have 3 action packed events left in October. Over those three cards we will see 4 different belts defended. In 155 we have a rivalry brewing. Our champ Ahkmed Dudayev is truly a warrior. Him and Sam R are both huge stars in the division and in all of 355+, the fans want it, the brass wants it and they will deliver. 10/31 The Rematch will take place. Ahkmed won the first match, Sam has vowed for Revenge... Keep in mind we have a superfight looming in that division as well. This week we had no comments!! Bummer but we will persevere. Same deal this week, four or more comments from BFC managers and I will send 20k (I'll rollover the 10k from last week) to the manager with the top comment. 30 fights over the next 2 weeks, any predictions? 4 belts on the line, which champs reign may end.... which contenders dreams will be crushed? Additionally, we have three Belts being defended over the weekend 170, 185, 265+. Post the three fighters you think will win. If anyone gets all three correct I will send an additional 10k to you. We can have multiple winners! Without further ado here are our BLOODBATH Fighting Championship Rankings. 135 C: Battaglia 1: Ness 2: Tzeng 3: Waller 4: Garbrandt 5: Csemy 145 C: Mantle 1: Rahl 2: Itzpapalotitotec 3: Merel 4: Shigochiyo 5: Drake 155 C: Dudayev 1: Stardust 2: Rodrigues 3: Minister 4: Ozbourne 5: Gehard 170 C : Butcher 1 : Cain 2 : Volkov 3 : Nimoy 4 : Matsuzaka 5: Bob 185 C: Matsuda 1: Alexander 2: Jalbert 3: Todd 4: Ortiz 5: Dembele 205 C: Randleman 1: Soares 2: Silva 3: Higgins 4: Warlowski 5: Carver 265 C : Bitch 1 : Sparrow 2 : Washington 3 : Lahey 4 : Murphy 5 : Krutel 265+ Open ID C : Cole 1 : Torres 2 : Huhuera 3 : Gracie 4: Crawford 5 : Marston As Usual Fight ON!!!! ​-President Halle

Hello My BLOODBATH Faithful!!!! Surprise surprise here we are again. Another week down and another slate of KO's to talk about. Can we take just one moment to appreciate our HeavyWeight champ? This man is on a mission of destruction. At 9-0 (all finishes by (T)KO) Santas Bitch has been simply unstoppable. I am eager to see which contender will try to crack that puzzle next. We have some dangerous HW's who are starting to climb the rankings. In the meantime, when a rematch is warranted we will give it (he's cleared out a lot of the top 5) but I am curious if any other organization thinks they have a tough 355+ HW. I'll be straightforward WE ARE ON ANOTHER LEVEL! I am calling out all the 355+ HW champs, come see us! I am eager to prove that BFC is the most talented and BLOOD thirsty roster in the 355+ realm. Only way to do this, is by putting up fists and fighting! Lets fight these fools; in the words of the great Nick Diaz "Stockton MOTHERFUCKER" -(If you do not know that reference please look it up, Nick Diaz Vs. Robbie Lawler years ago, an epic fight). The point is, lets throw down, lets fight, if any champ from any other 355+ org. is feeling froggy, please leap. We will fight you; I am confident our record will speak for itself. We have already agreed upon the following with CheckMate for these upcoming matches. 12/12 Our 155lb Champion will be fighting CheckMate LightWeight Champion Under BFC Banner 12/12 Our 185lb Champion will be fighting CheckMate MiddleWeight Champion Under Checkmate Banner Both belts will sit in idle until those dates......HAHAH JOKES, THIS IS BLOODBATH, we stay fighting! Both belts will be active up through Mid November, we will then give the champs time to prepare for their match. This is only the beginning of SuperFights, more may be announced soon. We want to ensure the first priority of our Champs is to defend against worthy BFC contenders, but when appropriate we are eager to show that BFC Champions are the best in the 355+ realm.- Much respect but I would like to see more activity on this forum. People we have over 50 fights accepted and no one has anything nice or mean to say about their opponent? Are VP of Operations Chris Swimmer and Myself doing such a good job that no one wants to roast us on here once or twice? Has no knockout been worthy of a comment to say "wow, read this finish, this guy just got SuperMan Punched into next week!!!"? From now on, when I make my weekly post if there are 4 or more comments from the last week I will send 10k to the top comment. This could be the most upvoted comment or the one that makes me chuckle the most. 4 or more comments from the group (4 unique users, not 1 person with 4 comments) in one week and top comment gets 10k! I'll offer this through the rest of 2020. If this works to create some action on the forum I will add a 2021 special that will be even better!!!

Hello My BLOODBATH faithful!!!! What an epic week. We have some big news that will be announced very soon....the talk of super fights are in the air. I know BFC is the best 355+ organization in the Tycoon, and I am willing to have our champions prove it!!! Stay tuned for big announcements moving forward. We had a huge weekend of fights. We saw two stacked cards take place. Shout out to the champs, way different story than last week, all three current champs who fought this last weekend defended their belt. In the 170lb division, after their first fight was a draw, Butcher vs. Matsuzaka 2 was epic!! 5 round bloodbath, great class from the winner Butcher, he fought 10 rounds vs this challenger but proved he is a worthy champion. I am confident Matsuzaka will be back and eager for blood. The open I.D. division is heating up. Ricco Torres won this weekend with a huge first round KO, it earned him a performance bonus and shot at the 265+ belt. We are looking for more open I.D fighters. message me or Chris Swimmer if you have one who is eager for blood. Martin Alexander has a new manger and this man is calling out everyone. He is scheduled for a great match vs. Winston Todd that will be a #1 vs #3 matchup in the 185 division. He asked for a quick match after on 10/31...anyone willing to fight him on 10/31... we can save a slot on the card saved but cannot offer the fight officially until after 10/24, message me if you are interested. Much love and respect to all our Bloodbath faithful, we are on a great path, lets keep it up. If anyone knows of some solid 355+ talent that needs a home please reach out, VP of Operations Chris Swimmer and myself are determined to keep BFC's roster filled with the top talent. Without further ado here are our BLOODBATH Fighting Championship Rankings. 135 C: Battaglia 1 : Ness 2: Tzeng 3: Waller 4: Garbrandt 5 : Barao 145 C : Mantle 1 : Rahl 2 : Smith 3 : Itzpapalotitotec 4 : Merel 5 : Case 155 C : Dudayev 1 : Stardust 2 : Minister 3 : Rodrigues 4 : Gehard 5 : Hammer 170 C : Butcher 1 : Cain 2 : Volkov 3 : Nimoy 4 : Matsuzaka 5: Bob 185 C : Matsuda 1 : Alexander 2 : Jalbert 3 : Todd 4 : Ortiz 5 : Dembele 205 C: Randleman 1 : Soares 2 : Carver 3 : Cider 4 : Lehma 5 : Higgins 265 C : Bitch 1 : Washington 2 Duarte 3 Murphy 4 Sparrow 5 Krutel 265+ Open ID C : Cole 1 : Torres 2 : Huhuera 3 : Crawford 4 : Marston 5 : Jackson As Usual Fight ON!!!! ​-President Halle

Hello My BLOODBATH faithful!!!! This marks the start of our weekly rankings!!! Every Tuesday night we will update the top 5 for every division and talk about some of the weekly developments. This last week saw a ton of action. Over 2 nights of fights we saw 3 belts up for grabs...2 out of the 3 title fights left with new champions. Shout out Rico Cole for a 265+ Title Defense, that dude is old, mean and dangerous. Jean Luc Jalbert at 185lb looked amazing in the cage when he went at it with Bang Hookers, that performance will earn him a shot against the newly anointed 185lb champion Tanaka Matsuda. Our new 135lb Champ is Lorenzo Bataglia, this man has been amazing since entering BFC from HFC. He is 4-0 under our banner. His only recent loss is to our own Jack Waller (back when they were both in HFC). Jack has a huge fight coming up against Willing Ness. Myself and VP of Operations, Chris Swimmer are keeping a sharp eye on that fight. The winner will likely be in line for a title shot. I know for a fact Lorenzo is eager to avenge that loss Vs. Jack Waller. I also know Ness is a pure beast of a man. Ness and Waller fight on 10/10. Without further ado here is the first official BLOODBATH Fighting Championship rankings. 135 C: Battaglia 1 : Ness 2: Tzeng 3: Waller 4: Garbrandt 5 : Barao 145 C: Mantle 1 : Smith 2 : Shigochiyo 3 : Rahl 4 : Merel 5 : Case 155 C : Dudayev 1 : Stardust 2 : Rodrigues 3: Hammer 4 : Gehard 5 : Minister 170 C : Butcher 1 : Matsuzaka 2 : Cain 3 : Volkov 4 : Bob 5 : Jinx 185 C : Matsuda 1 : Alexander 2 : Jalbert 3 : Todd 4 : Ortiz 5 : Dembele 205 C: Randleman 1 : Soares 2 : Carver 3 : Cider 4 : Lehma 5 : Higgins 265 C : Bitch 1 : Washington 2 : Duarte 3 : Sparrow 4 : Cooper 5 : Lahey 265+ Open ID C : Cole 1 : Huhuera 2 : Torres 3 : Crawford 4 : Marston 5 : Jackson As Usual Fight ON!!!! ​-President Halle

Hello my BLOODBATH Faithful. What a ride it has been...lets keep it going!!!!!! We have had a very busy day making fights and offering contracts. If you have a fighter who needs a fight feel free to message us, but almost all fighters have an offer, and if they do not, VP Chris and I have a plan for their next fight. October has 5 weekends, our plan is to do 7 events throughout the month. I'll briefly touch on Nathan Dylan; he is done and will no longer fight in BFC. Let the organization decide the events fight order, you decide how your fighter handles himself inside the ring. Overall BFC is doing great, we are actively looking for the best 355+ talent, if you know of any fighters looking for a contract please contact us. Fight ON!!!!! BH

President Halle here, Lets focus on the fights rather than peoples accounts. If someone is cheating they will be exposed. As of now, I do not see any wrong doing that has occurred in BFC. If there has been some foul play, it has had no effect on BFC, it's current champions and all the fighters working to become champions. If someone believes otherwise please message me and Chris directly. Lets save the forum for news, smalk talk and fight call outs. Overall though, I love this new energy on the forum, lets keep it up. We have two hugggeee events the weekend. The highest hyped fight in BFC history will be taking place!!! Much love and stay Bloody! BH

BFC is in full support of Nathan Vs. Ziggy. We can put Boris cage-side, if Nathan is feeling froggy that night he can leap. BH

Hello my BLOODBATH Faithful, President Halle checking in on the current state of affairs. - 135- 265 is rocking and rolling. We have champs in each division and contenders chomping at their feet. We tried so very hard to develop a legitimate 265+ 355+ weight class but could not fill it with enough fighters. We are still signing 265+ 355+ fighters but not planning on having a champion for that classification yet. This means we will continue our Open ID division. We are planning on having around 10-12 open id fighters in that classification fighting for the belt! If you have a fight you want to have happen please post on the forum and message VP of Operations Chris Swimmer. We want you to get the fights you want! Overall BFC is on the RISE!!! Can a 355+ org. break into the top 10?? Maybe... if anyone can it would be us!! Keep it up all, we have some HUGEE events coming up. Myself and VP Chris Swimmer have birthdays in the upcoming weeks. We are hosting special Birthday events on those dates. ALL FIGHTER BONUSES (KO, Sub and FOTN) ARE TRIPLED THOSE NIGHTS. Should be a lot of fun, Chris and I will be cage-side enjoying our birthdays. WE ARE HIRING!!! We are looking for an Assistant Matchmaker and Head of Media. We need someone to keep the forum updated and release a weekly state of affairs. These are paid jobs and could be 1-2 or even 3 people. Please contact me personally if you would like to apply or know of someone who may be interested. Kind Regards, President Halle

Hello my BloodBath Faithful. President Halle checking in. First off, huge shoutout to everyone affiliated with BFC, we are crushing it!!!! I am really enjoying reading all the smack talk. Look; if you want a fight, let us know. If there is someone who is disrespecting and you want to square up...let us know. We are called BloodBath for a reason. Email me or Chris Swimmer in game with your request and we will work to make it happen. ​On that note, we do have an announcement- Due to the excessive violence and blood at all of our shows, the city of Rio De Janeiro has required us to make all events 18+. Too many kids leaving the arena traumatized... this will have NO affect on day to day operations but when you are at the fights you will notice a more "mature" crowd. Moving on, I want to introduce a new BFC team member - Steven Pierce (134502), he will be helping with some write-ups and other clerical duties. He is new to the game and eager to learn. Please show him support in any way you can. Below is his first write up! Welcome to BFC, your premier MMA organization coming live from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil! Putting on multiple events a week, Bloodbath Fighting Championship has quickly become the go to organization for 355K+ fighters to hone their skills and begin to build their legacies. With divisions from 135 up to 265, and 173 fighters signed to fight contracts, there are plenty of opportunities for these up and coming stars to showcase their talents against all disciplines of the MMA game. BFC has also started an open 265+ division which they hope can become home to some of the top Super Heavyweights in the world. UPCOMING EVENTS MMA fans will be in for a treat when BFC holds events on back to back nights, starting with BFC Bloodbath 2. Join us on July 17th from Hayashi's Lounge where we will see the Featherweight title on the line when newly crowned Champion Teshima Shigochiyo defends his belt against Balink Tarlah, who is dropping down from Lightweight for this fight. Shigochiyo won the 145 pound title after defeating Darken Rahl at BFC Syndicate 1 in spectacular fashion with a kneebar submission less than two minutes into the fight. On the other side, Rahl has never fought at Featherweight, but will do so for the first time after coming up short for the BFC Lightweight title in his last bout. We will also see a Heavyweight Co Main Event when 4-2 Albert Thompson squares off against heavy handed Keon Douglas. This fight is bound to bring fireworks to the cage as all of these fighters wins have come by TKO or knockout. Eight more bouts will round out the card on the first night of fights. If you for whatever reason happen to miss the July 17th event, join us the very next night at Hard Knocks Rio for BFC 15 Sparrow vs Concrete. Ten more fights will be headlined by two Heavyweights looking to make a jump to number one contender status. Jack Sparrow (7-3) is coming off of a first round TKO in his BFC debut and another quick finish here could fast track him to title contention. His opponent, Bane Concrete will be making his BFC debut and will bring an impressive 6-1 record to the bout. Both fighters hold backgrounds in Muay Thai, so you can expect some bombs to be exchanged in this one. If that doesn't excite you enough, the Co Main Event for BFC 15 will see the Light Heavyweight belt up for grabs when three time defending champ Adan Schiff looks for his fourth title defense against Gilbervan Soares. This will be the toughest test yet for the champion as Soares is a well rounded fighter in all aspects of the game. Soares comes into this fight off of a unanimous decision victory against Risto Rytina at BFC 11 and holds a five fight winning streak. There will also be an intriguing Heavyweight fight between two undefeated fighters when 3-0 Moritz Zee takes on 2-0 Oleg Gazbinski. Be sure to catch all of the action on July 17th and 18th as Bloodbath Fighting Championships continues on their journey to become one of the top fighting organizations in the world. -Steven Pierce - BFC Journalist

What a fightttt. Just one round off of prediction, Johnny "The Project" Guatar finished Buakaw Banchamek with a devastating counter right hand. Buakaw Banchamek landed numerous head-kicks, but on this one, it was seen a mile a way, and countered perfectly. I am saying it now, Johnny "The Project" Guatar wants the WINNER of the match between Chris Boag and Crazy Horse. Personally i think Chris ends Crazy's undefeated streak tonight. Johnny wants the winner, Johnny deserves the winner. We out.

Chanthaphone Southanouvong is quite excited for this match and assures you all, there will be no decision. Really is a shame, Sabotage Rex seems like a great guy, but this is business. 2nd round KO book it.

This weeks fighter spotlight is none other than Junkyard Dog. Truly a warrior at heart, lets take a moment to salute our loyal and dangerous Junkyard Dog. -On a side note, I will be handling some family duties during July and will step back from my weekly fighter write up duties during that time. It has been an honor to write for Synchronicity and I look forward to returning when time permits. “He’s just a junkyard dog”. For a long time people thought of that as an insult. Until you really break down what embodies a junkyard dog it would be easy to misconstrue that sentence. On the surface a junkyard dog seems trapped, menial, and one living within a reality inside of a reality. But when you dive deeper, a Junkyard Dog is a protector of a realm. He is a general, a Sgt. and the front line soldier. He has one mission and has full authority to do whatever it takes to complete that mission. Now that sounds like a hero, that is our Junkyard Dog. However our Junkyard Dog does not rule over a junkyard, no, his realm is the cage. Junkyard Dog has been a loyal servant and protector of this realm. He has fought in it over 40 times. Never changing his approach after victory or defeat, he blazes forward determined. When you are a Junkyard Dog winning and losing are only part of the equation. The true battle is life and death. “Every fight I survive I consider a win, when you are truly ready to die in the cage, you accept this and fight with the will of a survivor, however you also fight with the demeanor of a man ready to die.” Junkyard Dog definitely seems at peace within the cage. When he fights he is relentless and clearly willing to give everything he has. Does he honestly prepare for the idea of death before every fight? Who knows, but if he has already accepted death, then he may be able to fight with no fear whatsoever. Currently Junkyard Dog is the reigning and defending 185lb Synchronicity Champion. It took him over 20 fights in Synchronicity to finally win that belt. Guess what, he lost it two fights later, but guess what he won that thing back 2 fights later... This man/dog does not quit. Junkyard Dog is getting prepared for his 2nd title defense of this current reign. He will take on the highly respected Pekka Toivonen. It will be a bloodbath. Our beloved champ Junkyard Dog is 35 years old. He truly has nothing left to prove but true to form of a junkyard dog, I think we all are anticipating him fighting until he literally dies. Is there such a thing as retirement for a junkyard dog? Personally, I do not think so, I expect our Dog to go out in a blaze of glory, probably in some open weight open ID tourney at the age of 55, he will finally get caught by some nasty flying knee that will put him at peace forever….it will be how he wants it. Until then we are all delighted to watch the Junkyard Dog protect his realm. Remember if someone calls you a Junkyard Dog it is a badge of honor, not an insult. As always Synchronicity fans...FIGHT ON!

Hello BLOODBATH fans. I have a treat for you today. VP of Operations took the time to write us a BFC weeks in review article. He broke down the last two weeks and gave us an overall update. One of the things I love about this game is the opportunity to work with other people from all over. Chris has been so helpful with everything BFC. English is actually his second or maybe third language but he still wrote the whole thing below. I am an english only speaker (pretty typical American), so I went through and did some grammatical edits, but he wrote this whole thing. I think it is really cool my man Chris steps up and gives us these awesome articles, I know it must be a challenge. I will send this update in an email blast midweek, as I know many owners do not look at the forum, but I wanted to give this personal shout out to Chris here, for people to see. The day after : BLOODBATH Fighting Championships Update 6/07 Hello everybody, Chris Swimmer VP of Operations checking in and giving a little update about the news and events from the past few weeks in the BFC world. As our lovely president Benjamin mentioned in an earlier post, we are slowly growing, and our roster is getting better and better. From an operations standpoint, this means that everybody needs to take each fight very seriously. Each fighter may be fighting for his job every time he steps into the cage. I would like to use the quote, "One win could move you a lot, but one loss could kill all what you build for your whole career." On the other hand I want to keep this article positive. So I'm proud to say, that in July we will have champions in each division from 135lbs through 265lbs. I am telling you, all our champs are LETHAL. Also, we have contenders waiting for their chance as well. There will be huge fights all summer! Mine and president Benjamin's goal is to have one title fight in each division each month. You can already see this developing in the upcoming cards. For this weekend (6/12,&6/13) we have scheduled the 145lbs champ Rahl for his first title defense. The Open ID 265+lbs champ Cole is ready to defend his belt again. And many other BFC champs are also scheduled for their title defenses through the end of June. Let's have a look at the most exciting fights of past weeks. But wait, before that, we want to say that BFC will never tolerate guys who turn fights into No Contest. This weekend it happened for the first time and hopefully for a last time since Benjamin and I took over BFC. We would like to apologize to the fighter Roberto Benavidez who fights in our 170lbs division, his opponent showed no sportsmanship. We are working to get Roberto a fair fight ASAP. BUT, back to the fight game. This weekend’s headliner was Gracie vs. Blade 2. It brought us all back to the history books. It was a rematch of the only loss for Boris The Blade, which was subsequently the biggest win of Ralo Gracie’s career. And the moment when Ralo Gracie joined BFC, it started this whole rivalry again. Just a few hours after Ralo Gracie signed BFC, I got a message from the manager of Boris where he stated, "I want to sign BFC, I'm coming for Gracie to show him a big revenge for my only loss." We gave Boris the opportunity and after a highly nervous staredown, Boris delivered on what he said. He completely ran through his opponent in all aspects of the fight. He won via submission due to strikes, in only 58 seconds into the very first round. That was brutal and in my opinion, we may never see Ralo Gracie the same as he was before this devastating loss. But the good thing about the fight game, one big win can turn things around. We know there are a lot of Gracie supporters out there, it will be very interesting to see how he responds to this defeat. For the winner, Boris, this was a huge win, he has earned himself a shot at the title. This event also had other great fights, but I want to point out the KO in only 21 seconds, by youngster Willy Mataitai, who sent the undefeated Leroy Jenkins, unconsciously to the ground. I really don't know who will have courage to step up against Mataitai in his next fight. Any takers? President Benjamin said he will ship 5 shirts from Core Combat (shout out Core Combat, the new June drop is FIREEEE) to anyone who is willing to fight him. 205lbs guys, we are talking to you. Also wanted to mention events from the last weekend where we had some pretty epic things go down: Firstly, a 5 round war in the open ID division, between Gracie and Norman, where both guys showed us their warrior skills and brave hearts. It ended with a unanimous decision win for Royce Gracie. Secondly, a tactical fight between Ispa Boxeri and Thiago Reyes, which gave us our first SPLIT Decision in the short history of BFC since is under new ownership of Benjamin Halle. Benjamin told me this brought a tear to his eye… our president may be smart but he is a bit weird. On the winning side was Thiago Reyes who marked his first W in career by way of Split decision (29-28/28-29/29:28) Thirdly, the last weekend of this May gave us an opportunity to see some phenomenal KO's, but we had two in particular which were totally spectacular. Hell yeah, it was brutal and I think, we would have had the same problem as Dana White did yesterday with KO's of Garbrandt and O'Malley if these fights were on the same card. With our luck, the first SUPERMAN PUNCH KO in the history of BFC gave us our next 265lb title challenger Albert Thompson who probably finished the career of Curtis Pattoson. It was just the next day that T Bone Carver came inspired by Thompson’s KO and he delivered an arguably even stronger SUPERMAN PUNCH KO to his opponent Michael Evans who is still healing himself from some brutal facial injuries. Luckily we do expect Michael Evans to fight again. Last, but surely not least we need to mention that also last week on the same event where the Superman punch by Thompson was scored we found a name of the new BFC 185lbs champ. His name is Kurt Olstein and he surprisingly as BIG UNDERDOG beat Boubacar Dembele via armbar in the first round. Big shout out to Kurt, he will be a heavy underdog again in his first title defense, but anything is possible. The 205lbs division also had its title on the line, but in this one we didn't see any surprise and we heard the words, “AND STILL” after Adan Schiff’s KO victory against #1 contender King Rico. I'm sorry guys if I forgot something important to mention, but definitely keep an eye on your fighters at least as much as we are taking a look on them. If you have questions about any aspect of this game, training, sponsorships, gyms, anything at all, message me and Benjamin. We want you to succeed. This game is vast and has a sharp learning curve, it is okay to ask for help. This week we are back to two events, hopefully some talent will step up with some bloody fights as BFC is always looking for blood. Stay Bloody guys and have a great week!!

Hello fight fans! It is time for our weekly fighter spotlight...this week we will showcase none other than "Masta Killa" Elgin Turner!!! Enjoy! The "Masta Killa" Elgin Turner is a natural born champion. It was just four fights into his career when he won his first title. He holds a record of 26-8-1, with 14 of his 35 fights having a title on the line. The guy is a champion through and through. "Masta Killa" Elgin Turner has held a belt in four different organizations. His run here in Synchronicity is by far his most impressive as it is against some of the world's top competition. President Alex Maniatakos had this to say, “The man is a beast, in and out of the cage. I have spent months with him in Hilo, enjoying the land and hanging on the beach. I always thought they called Elgin the “Masta Killa” for his lethal work in the cage; turns out this man is an expert fisherman. He does not use a rod or a snorkel, he literally took off from the beach, and then disappeared under the water for 5 minutes!!! Finally, Elgin popped up with a 200lb bluefin tuna… it was intense, trust me, seeing one of your top fighters under the water for 5 minutes was gut wrenching...really good times out there, we love having him in the Synchronicity family, and we cannot wait to see him defend his 155lb belt!” President Alex is always good for a story or two about his top fighters. After working for him these past months one of the many things I have learned is that his fight roster is quite the eclectic group of warriors. The Masta Killa fits right in. The Masta Killa’s run here in Synchronicity has been career defining. He has battled with some of the world's top lightweights. He is in the midst of an epic war with Rudy Rhod. In March, Rudy defeated Elgin to claim the LW title, now in May, Elgin just beat Rudy to win it back…. Can someone smell a rematch..wait no that's my mom's meatloaf, but you get the point. "Masta Killa" Elgin Turner is only 32 years old. He has a lot of time to keep building his legacy. We are all looking forward to the immediate future, as Elgin will have ample challengers for his belt 155lb. Long Term I see the "Masta Killa" fighting well into his 60’s. He will be taking on young bucks who think they are tough and exposing them as frauds. I stopped doubting this man after the 8th time I saw him hold his breath for over 6 minutes while free diving for tuna. He really is a Masta of Killing…. "Masta Killa" Elgin Turner, the man, the fighter...the KILLER From the whole Synchronicity family, we are honored to watch your fights and wish you all the best. As usual fight fans...FIGHT ON!!!!

President Benjamin Halle checking in, First off, we love the smalk talk. VP of operations Chris Swimmer, and myself read this forum daily. If you got beef with someone and you want to settle it, call it out on the forum and we will try to make it happen. Folks, BFC is in a great place. We are growing fast in hype, and our roster is more stacked than ever. Trust, that we know we still have a lot of work to do. BFC is still recruiting, we are always keeping an eye out for new rising talent but committed to keeping our roster size sharp and lean. Division updates. 145lb through 265lb all have active champs who are scheduled to defend or will be scheduled to defend by the end of June. The 135lb division is really exciting. We have key matches taking place on the nights of 6/12 and 6/13. Willie Weeks Vs. Jackie Vergys (6/12) and Mosqaine Liszorr Vs. Hale Stenburg (6/13). The winners of these matches will fight for the first ever BFC 135lb title in late June or early July, history will be made. We need more fighters for our 265+ division! We have three badasses in there now. Lets get a few more and we will start thinking about a title picture. Lastly, in regards to our open id division. The plan is to phase it out. BFC will be a true 355+ organization. However, we want to let the champ defend his belt at least once more and maybe a couple more times after that. All we will say is, eventually the open division will be gone, but for now we are planning fights with the open id fighters we have. From the whole BLOODBATH Fighting Championship Team Much Love and FIGHT ON!!!! Best Wishes, Benjamin
