Nils Norling: I feel like I got myself into a fight of the night contender against Keith Yrkje, hopefully it will turn out to be a great scrap, let the better guy win.

I would advise getting a mentor to help you understand everything better an all

Nils Norling: Damn, seems like losing once to one of the top contenders made me the underdog against some mediocre fighter, hopefully someone made money off me being in there today.

Just sent you the money as it seems that I've won lol

WELCOME EVERYONE! We are giving you another top fights of the card preview, enjoy! vs Yasha "Ferocious" Big Mouth 27-13 vs Prince McVicker 13-4 The first fight will be a bantamweight bout for the vacant championship, between former Smash champion and a former RISE champion. Big Mouth's reign has lately came to an end after clearing out the top of the division he came across Richard Morrison in what seemed like a favorable match-up for the champion, and for the majority of the fight it seemed like it, but the power of Morrison was too much to overcome and in the 3rd Richard finished Yasha and became the new champion. Naturally an immidiate rematch was set, and it was a mirror image of their first fight, Yasha dominated first 2 rounds just to get finished in the 3rd by Morrison, currently Morrison has left Smash to pursue a title in Combate, leaving the division without a champion, Big Mouth is seeking his throne back in what seems like another favorable match-up but it seems like we can't be sure of it. In front of him will be standing Prince McVicker, a former RISE champion that recently signed up with Smash after finishing his RISE run on a 2 fight-losing streak, so why exactly is this the fight? Any other contender seemed occuppied or unable to step up to the fight in time and considering current situation with Richard leaving the division that's the direction the title fight went. McVicker is known for his relentless wrestling and ground and pound heavy style of fighting that seems to have a lack of that finishing blow, it is possible for him to drag the fight to the deep waters but in my opinion if he won't be able to take Yasha down, it might be just a formality for our previous champ. My official prediction: Yasha Big Mouth by KO/TKO in the 2nd round Yasha is far better striker and there's no doubt about that and McVicker doesn't have power to knock him out and cause an upset like Morrison did before, Yasha might either drag that fight to a decision or finish it early, I feel like the second option is more likely to happen. In our Co-Main event we will see a clash between 2 former title challengers at feathwerweight. vs Anthony Merel 22-14 vs "The Real Deal" Dill Nickle 13-9 In our Co-Main event we will see a clash between 2 former title challengers at feathwerweight. Both of these fighters will most likely look to make a statement to get back into the title picture as soon as possible, most likely this fight is a title eliminator so the winner will be waiting for his next opponent that would be decided most likely in the next weeks card. Anthony Merel has lost only twice under Smash banner, with one of those losses being a title fight not so long ago against Cadence Collins but he managed to get back onto a winning track with his latest win against Lars Kay via Unanimous Decision which earned him a fight of the night bonus. Despite Merel coming up short against Collins in the second round he still is a credible and a good fighter that can make another run for the title and a win in this one might grant him that opportunity. Dill Nickle is coming off a loss also to Cadence Collins BUT he showed up well in that bout, managed to fight through all 5 rounds and made it a competitive fight and not a complete 50-45 shut out. Nickle will try to mix up his striking with the grappling that is his key to victory considering that Merel already lost via submission 6 times in his career, but Merel might be looking to score a KO win as well knowing his abilities on the feet and the fact that Nickle has been knocked out before in his career, but he can't be overthrowing stuff because Nickle might capitalize on it to get this fight to the ground. My official prediction: Anthony Merel via 2nd round KO/TKO Merel on paper seems like a better fighter, but if he comes out guns blazing he might get taken down and subbed by Nickle or at least controlled to a decision, but let's take into the consideration that Nickles morale are not at the highest point possible, therefore we might see a finish from Merel, hopefully we will see a good scrap nevertheless right before our high stake main event. AND NOW FOR OUR MAIN EVENT A LIGHTWEIGHT CLASH AND IT IS FOR THE BIG PRIZE! THE LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. THE CHALLENGER, FIGHTING OUT OF RIO DE JANEIRO BRAZIL BY THE WAY OF TIMBUKTU MALI Damian "Snake" Tonon 22-13-1 vs AND NOW FIGHTING OUT OF HYDE PARK KANSAS CITY USA, THE REIGNING, DEFENDING LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION "Immortal" Riley Hatfield 20-10 Tonon is currently riding a 2-fight winning streak, in both of those fights he has been awarded a fight of the night bonus therefore earning him a title shot against The "Immortal", Damian is well known for his durrability and submission game, 2 major things that might be needed to finally get that precious title. We have to keep in mind that the champion won't let go off his title so easily, after losing his debut in Smash he has been on a tear going on a 5-fight winning streak that earned him a shot at the gold against Rasmus Reedtz which he capitalized on with a UD win to capture the title, after that he managed to finish Gianni Catellana via head kick in the 1st round to defend his title, and now he is looking to do the same thing and add another defence to his reign. Knowing pretty well that Tonon is hard to finish we might see a 5 round affair that should end with a decision for either one of the fighters, we also have to keep in mind that the winner of this fight has his next opponent most likely set, because Rasmus Reedtz is waiting for the winner to get his belt back. My official prediction: Riley Hatfield via Unanimous Decision I just think that The "Immortal" is superior to his opponent, I'm not saying that this will be a total shut out but I just feel like Hatfield will be able to come out victorious and defend his title once again. That would be all for this week, thank you for your attention and see you in the next one!

I just gotta even start it lol 100k

Welcome everyone! We are going straight to the business, We will see a fight between 2 of the top fighters at 170 pound division, the winner of this one will be most likely one fight away from getting a title shot so keep your eyes on both of these Gentlemen. vs Raphaël Ambrosius "Tequila Sunset" Costeau 17-11-1 vs Eric Osiris 17-10-2 We have some good striking action on our hands in this one with both of the fighters not shying away from a good brawl. Costeau is currently 8-5 in the promotion but he is yet to have his chance at winning the gold, Frenchman seems to have problems with keeping a consistent streak going but maybe his last fight against Jimmy Lee was the beginning of one? A crafty striker will seek his chance at gold, this fight will definitely bring him closer to that, remember that he was a good challenge for the now current champion in Kaki Mountain losing in a good effort 30-28 on 2 judges scorecards, so we know what he is capable of when he is at his best. Osiris is also coming off a win against Jimmy Lee (ironic), also with unanimous decision showing his superiority in the striking department over Lee, hopefuly Osiris will be well rested on the day of the fight knowing well that his manager was absent lately, but it seems like he is slowly coming back to being more regular again. Osiris is currently 3-1 after dropping back down to welterweight division and it seems like he is finding his footing in there. Hopefully we will see a good fight between the 2 that will bring us a good emotions during it. My official prediction: Fight will end via Decision, most likely Costeau The fight is close but I slightly favor Costeau, he showed himself a bit better against Jimmy Lee and I think that the fight Mountain showed what he can be capable of, but I wouldn't be surprised if Osiris gets the nod. And now onto our co-main event that will give us most likely a great grappling match-up in the Heavyweight division. vs "Dune Cricket" Abubakar Camara 21-4 vs Eugeniy "Moro" Tryastsyn 12-7 The return of "Dune Cricket" into the octagon of Smash, one of the greatest grapplers of all time steps back to continue his MMA career, one of the best additions to our roster lately a - x12 Catch Wrestling Champion who finally decided to get back onto the MMA scene has managed to go 3-1 in our organisation with all of his outings earning him the of the night award (2 subs of the night and 2 fights of the night), his only loss is by a way of Majority Decision to Anthony Wayne in another grappling heavy bout, Camara is seeking another stunning performance that would earn him "of the night" bonus as well as would get him closer to a title shot. Tryastsyn is the one looking to spoil the party of Camara, he on his own is riding a 3-fight winning streak with his latest outing being a second round submission win against Anzor Dankovich that earned him a sub of the night award, therefore we can expect a good treat for the grappling fans. My official prediction: Abubakar Camara via 2nd round submission I feel like Camara will show his superiority when it comes to grappling, I know that sometimes it went the other way than expected when it comes to him but I think that he might be finding his footing again and will show that in this one. AND NOW ONTO OUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING AND IT IS FOR THE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! THE CHALLENGER IS FIGHTING OUT OF BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND PATRICK "THE TITAN" THOMAS 21-13 vs AND NOW THE REIGNING, DEFENDING 205 POUND CHAMPION, FIGHTING OUT OF MALMO, SWEDEN DAVID CHOKE 24-12-1 Ladies and Gentlemen We have another good one on our hands, David Choke is looking to defend his title for the 4th time in a row, but across the octagon from him he will face someone who seems like a perfectly all arounded fighter in Patrick Thomas. Thomas is riding a 2-fight winning streak currently, while being 4-1 in the promotion in overall, with his only loss coming from a close decision loss to Anthony Ochoa, after which he bounced back with a KO win with a little over a minute against Spencer Rubenstein and after that managed to get a majority decision win over the former champion and top contender in Leonzar Kennedy which earned him a shot at gold. Thomas is a hard hitting Brit with a granite chin that doesn't seem to go down and packs a punch, We are yet to know how good is his takedown defence tho and We are most likely going to find that out in this bout. The Champ David doesn't like to go the distance and he doesn't seem to change up his gameplan, his plan is simple and well known, shoot for a takedown and look to get a sub for a win, he is currently coming off another win against Chad Bartz in his last outing with the submission in the 1st round, we have to also keep in mind that he took the belt from Vincent Lomax when he tapped him out in little over a minute of the 1st round, David is always dangerous and Patrick will have to be aware of that all the time during this fight. We also have to keep in mind something else, Thomas has power and Choke is known to get finished by KO/TKO so this one has fireworks written all over it! My official prediction: The Fight will end until the 4th round starts, either Thomas by KO/TKO or Choke via Submission I won't pick any sides mostly due to the fact that Thomas is my fighter and I don't want my opinion to be biased and influence anyone, I just feel like the fight will end in either 1st, 2nd or 3rd round. Thank you for your attention and see you tomorrow!

Thoth Chontamenti: I'm ready and cleared to get back in there to octagon, so who would it be? I'm waiting Mr.Rabbit and whole SPPS stuff.

Damn no love for Murican it seems

Thoth Chontamenti: If Mr.Rabbit would like for that to happen then I don't have anything against it, but Mr.Pickle should be worried about his next opponent more than calling out anyone else. I'm just waiting for SPPS matchmakers to make a move at this point, but I won't mind breaking a pickle jar.

WELCOME EVERYBODY ONCE AGAIN! Let's start right away without wasting your time and let's get to another portion of action! We might have a fight with future title implications on our hands in this one, the winner might be the next one in line for the Light Heavyweight Title so keep an eye on these 2! Mara Tantor 13-5 vs Wallace Cobb 32-12 Mara Tantor came into the org with a bang when he knocked out Basko Godwin via head kick in the second round earning him the KO of the night award, but then he cam across 2 obstacles in Leonzar Kennedy and Anthony Ochoa, losing both times via stoppage KO/TKO, he managed to bounce back in his last one with a spectacualar finish of Arniquez Montgomery with a flying knee with under a minute, but we have to keep in mind that Montogmery is not the best caliber of opponent, so therefore this one will be a real test for Cobb. Despite his age of 43, Wallace Cobb is still dangerous and crafty, coming off a win in his SMASH debut getting a TKO finish in the second round against Kenichi Misahawa, these 2 will seek for the finish in there, but being truly honest I do have my favourite in this one. My official prediction: Wallace Cobb via KO/TKO in the 2nd round Yes I know that Cobb is old, Yes I know that he is smaller when it comes to both height and weight, yes I know he is past his prime, but I feel like despite the power that Tantor possesses he will be able to overcome this challenge, he should be more technical and is more experienced than his opponent, after a wild first round I just feel like Cobb will manage to catch Tantor with something to finish him off. In our co-main event We will witness a fight to determine the next contender for the welterweight championship in a fight between Armad "The Preacher" Bates 16-13-3 vs "Hanging" Chad Smith 32-26 This is the second time these 2 will square off against each other, in their first meeting Bates was able to edge out a 29-28 decision with his grappling being the key factor in the 3rd round giving him the win, will he opt to it once again? Despite both fighters coming of a loss, neither one of them has to be ashamed of it, Bates came up short against the current challenger to the belt in Thomas Hearn losing by a unanimous decision 30-27 all across the board, while Smith is coming off a title fight loss against Kaki Mountain by a Unanimous Decision. Both fighters will be looking to show the best they can to prove that they are both worthy next title shot. Smith has to keep the fight on the feet if he wants to win this one, remember that in the first fight he was able to stagger and hurt Bates in the second round but was not able to capitalize and finish the fight. On the other hand Bates might have to mix up his grappling once again and try to either submit Smith or grind it out to a decision. My official prediction: Chad Smith by KO/TKO I feel like this might be that fight where Smith will go all out and just try to take the head off of his opponent, I give him a slightly more chance to do it tho than for Bates to win by a decision, maybe 60-40 for Smith in my opinion. AND NOW ONTO OUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING AND IT IS FOR THE MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! THE CHALLENGER, FIGHTING OUT OF BELEM, BRAZIL ARTHUR MENEZES 37-20-1 AND HIS OPPONENT, THE REIGNING CHAMPION FIGHTING OUT OF KRAKÓW, POLAND "POLISH SKULL" MICHAŁ KOWALKIEWICZ 21-5 Ladies and Gentlemen we have another treat on our hands with the middleweight king back on his throne, seeking to finally slay his bitter rival that dethroned him from the top and defeated him twice in a row. Kowalkiewicz is truly a naturally gifted fighter, winning championships in grappling, KT and of course MMA in our organisation, he knows how to get what he wants and the only thing that he wants right now is to knock Menezes out. Michał was riding a 13-fight winning streak with 8 of those wins being title fights in our org, 7 title defences in other words a total domination, the king of the mountain, but every good story has to come to an end eventually. In their first fight everything seemed like it was going well, the first round was close with Menezes most likely edging it out, but the fans were only speculating when will The Champ strike down and it happened in the second round, Menezes got sent to the canvas twice in that round courtesy of a massive uppercut and a big right hand but he was able to survive, but then it was all Menezes in there, completely shutting down Kowalkiewicz with his suffocating pace and grappling finally getting 4th round submission and becoming the new champ. There was an imidiate rematch naturally, but mostly the same thing happened, Menezes grappling was just too much and he managed to submit Kowalkiewicz in the 5th round, with Arthur being in the lead 3-1 before the finish. Menezes then went on to lose the title to Alexander Borgia whom Kowalkiewicz defeated later on to become a new champ and now We are here once again, third bout between these 2, Will the Skull finally have an answer for that pace of Menezes? Or maybe the same the story will repeat itself and Menezes will go 3-0 against argubly the best middleweight in SMASH in decent memory? My official prediction: Menezes via 3rd round submission As much as I do think that Kowalkiewicz is capable of knocking Menezes out, I think he will have a hard time once again, and if he will show up like he did in his last outing against Arthur he might be tapping even faster than the last time. Thanks for your attention everyone and see you next week for another 2 card previews, have a nice weekend!

Good sir there's a mistake, you prob meant first second not first minute.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WELCOME TO SMASH 153!! We are delighted to provide you with some high-level action during your stay with us so let’s get right into it and meet the stars of tonight's show. Butch "Does not get" Frewin 18-15 vs Dan "Doughboy" Donovan 16-14 We are going to start off with a clash of the super heavyweights that should be a real treat for the fans of violence so be sure to not miss it! On the one hand we have Butch, our former champion that came into the promotion and after racking up a 3-fight winning streak got to the title fight which he won by defeating Haise Sasaki, but we are not going to teach you the history so let’s get straight to the points. Butch had it rough lately, he lost his title and another title shot after that, 2-3 in his last 5 he is looking to get himself back into the title contention. In the octagon across him will be standing Dan Donovan that got his first title shot in our promotion in his last outing, but his fairy tale didn’t last long because the fight got stopped under 2 minutes due to some bad cuts, he sustained in there against our current champion Yago Nascimento. This will be the second time these 2 gentlemen square off with each other, as some of SMASH fans might remember in the first fight between these 2 Butch got the better of Donovan winning by KO at the beginning of the second round, will this fight go any different? We can for sure guarantee you that the fight won’t last long considering both fighters are known to finish (or get finished) their fights quickly with combined 62 finishes between them. My pick: Butch Frewin by 1st round KO/TKO I do think that Butch is just a better fighter, Donovan has zero Muay Thai and Butch showed that in their first outing, this one might go the same as the last time with Butch clinching up with Donovan and battering him with strikes to get a finish either from the clinch or from the distance. Now let’s move on to our co-main event of the evening Grigoriy Petrov 25-12-3 vs Rasmus "The Awp" Reedtz 28-14-0 In our co-main event we will see another fight between the 2 fighters that know each other very well with their first fight dating back to 7 years ago. This one is a classic striker vs grappler match-up with one of the fighters seeking that first win against their foe, third time’s a charm? Grigoriy Petrov is on a roll lately with 10-fight streak without a loss, with last 2 of his outings against Mama Tosen earning him the fight of the night bonuses and I can assure you that the winner of this one is going to fight for the belt next (hopefully my boss won’t fire me for spilling out the beans, Jesus the first day of the job and getting fired would be hilarious), but who will it be? Petrov is a great striker that mixes up every aspect of his stand-up game really well and knows how to get that desired win at the end of the day (most likely by decision). Unfortuantelly for him, across the octagon will be standing his kryptonite, the guy that has his number it seems, our former champion Rasmus Reedtz. Rasmus is coming off a loss in his second title defence against Riley Hatfield by unanimous decision, but he doesn’t seem to get affected by that so far and is looking forward to getting his title back, but he has to defeat Petrov once again to get to the desired fight. In their first fight Petrov lost in a razor close fight by the Majority Decision, but do you remember that streak Petrov is riding so far? 10 fights without a loss? (2 draws in a row in there therefore it is not a 10-fight winning streak) Yeah so, the fight between his streak began was the one against, yep you guessed it Rasmus Reedtz that managed to submit Petrov inside a round. Will the history repeat itself?Or maybe Petrov will finally overcome his foe and show him and everyone else that he is ready for a title shot? My official prediction: Grigoriy Petrov wins by Split Decision Tbh I think that the momentum that Petrov is riding will give him a lot, also considering that he is eager to finally get one up against Rasmus will motivate him even more, but knowing how good Rasmus really is We should expect once again a close fight between the 2 that will most likely end in a controversy. AND NOW ONTO OUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING AND IT IS FOR THE WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! THE CHALLENGER, FIGHTING OUT OF SHEFFIELD, UNITED KINGDOM THOMAS “THE VIKING” HEARN 19-11 AND NOW THE REIGNING, DEFENDING CHAMPION, FIGHTING OUT OF TAMPERE, FINLAND KAKI MOUNTAIN 24-12 In our main event We are going to witness Kaki Mountain trying to defend his title for the 3rd time in a bout against surging contender in “The Viking”. Hearn is known for dragging his opponents into deep waters (or getting dragged into there by them) with 23 fights of his out of 30 going to a decision and coming out victorious in 14 of them, but since signing with our organisation he is undefeated going 3-0 all by Unanimous Decision with his last win being against former champion in Armad Bates earning him this title shot. Hearn is not the type that likes to hug with his opponents, he just wants to stand and bang with them, and he should be getting his wish in a fight against our champ Mountain. Kaki is coming of a unanimous decision win against Chad Smith where he showed superiority against his opponent with a great mix of punches and kicks and has managed to avenge his loss to Smith and going 2-1 against him. Even though We can’t forget that Mountain has some finishing abilities we have to keep in mind that “The Viking” that will be standing across from him is really tough to finish in there with only 2 losses of his being inside the distance, one by submission and one by KO. Do I think that Mountain will finish him? Unlikely But Do I think if that’s possible? Absolutely Hopefully we will see a good title fight between these 2 with (most likely) 5 rounds of action on our hands. My official prediction: Kaki Mountain by Unanimous Decision I do think that the fight might be closer than some people might think, but I feel like Mountain will be able to just get the better of Hearn in some of the exchanges and edge it out with a 48-47 Unanimous decision across the board. Thanks for your attention and see you tomorrow for the preview of another top 3 fights, this time of Sundays event!

We've managed to catch up with Thoth Chontamenti after his let's say lackluster performance against The Devils Outlaw and he had this to say: H: Thoth What do you think of that decision, do you agree with it? Thoth Chontamenti: Do I agree with it? What do you think huh? I got robbed in there by these 2 incompetent fu...individuals. H: Don't you think that your performance made the look at this fight that way? TC: If you are trying to say that I fought badly in this fight then go and re-watch it, I made him miss the majority of his stuff, I took him down at will in this fight, 8 takedowns out of 12 and I outstruck him on the feet, how was it even close to being a draw? H: You didn't do anything with those takedowns tho and remember that damage trumps everything, he cut you up after all. TC: Yeah in the first round and they gave him that round after all so I don't see the point, and didn't do anything? Has he done anything from the bottom then? H: Well no but.. TC: EXACTLY! Yeah I didn't do enough on the ground and I wasn't even close of doing it but the fight wasn't action packed and I feel like those takedowns trumped everything that he has done throughout the whole fight, I don't agree with the judges and I got robbed of a deserved win. H: Do you seek a rematch with Outlaw? TC: If that's what the matchmakers of SPPS seek for then be it, but I feel like I don't need to fight him again to get robbed by the judges once again, I'm out.

Thoth Chontamenti: Still being regarded as the underdog by the bookmaker I'm not gonna assure you that I'm going to win, but the odds should be swapped so put some money on me when you still can.

Giovanni De Rossi: How did you even come up with the fact that people know me because of you and you made me relevant? I made myself relevant and you are the only one that kept mentioning me and my name, delusional little Aussie. You will always live under my shadow knowing fully well that you would've never came close to being a champion back at Empire because I was ruling there. And who are you going to ask? Locke that is always in denial and can't take loss like a man? Maybe Santos Choke or whatever his name was that batters my family name because of his idiotic teammates? Oh maybe Uestus that is retired but even before that was being delusional about most of the stuff that he was saying? Cmon name at least 2 or 3, I will wait. And when it comes to Hyrra, YOU said that he was on a loss streak, when in fact I only corrected your wrong and idiotic statement pointing out that he just lost his fight for the title, when before that he was riding a 3-fight winning streak, stop embarassing yourself aleady.

Giovanni De Rossi: Years ago? It was a year ago so stop getting shit mixed up and stop lying. Also Hyrra on a loss streak? He just lost to my teammate Hinto in a title fight, and before that he racked up a 3-fight winning streak, so once again you are lying. Ivan will take you down in the 1st round, mark my words, that hole in your game being your wrestling will hunt you once again, and Boryenka? He would maul you most likely the same as Ivan will. Before I will come out of the grappling scene you will get embarassed at least 3 more times and will become unrelevant so I don't really consider your words with any value, lying bastard.

Helmans: Welcome Everybody! We've finally decided to come out with the plans that we are both having regarding Giovanni's future steps and really what's next for him, what is with all of those buzz shenanigans and us as business partners so let's get it started, Gio welcome. Giovanni Welcome Helmans, and hopefully everybody that will read through that crap that We will produce, I see you Jaimie don't worry, You still have no leverage. Helmans: Seems like We are starting strong right of the bat. Giovanni: Let's just say that I want to address every little thing in here. Helmans: Alright so We can start where you left off just now, so what's your deal with Jaimie Hopson? Giovanni: My deal? He is the one talking about me and mentioning me most of the times, I'm just answering him and letting him know his place in the hierarchy, and it is far below me. Helmans: He managed to defend his Wolves title for the second time last weekend, any comment on that? Giovanni: That he won the belt against a negative IQ fighter and he defended it in his last fight against the same negative IQ guy, anything else? Helmans: I feel like you summed up your thoughts well enough, therefore We can move on, Where have you been lately then? You've won the Heartless belt at 185 and you are nowhere to be seen why is that? Giovanni: Do I really have to even say it? The deal was for me to have a 1 fight in there against Tintley, I got offered 3 and It went that way to the title somehow, I was never chasing the belt in there, the belt chased me. Helmans: So what is your next step? Giovanni: You know what my friend? I am actually considering going into grappling a little bit more, going back to my roots. Helmans: Now that's a bit unexpected I should say, is there any specific reason for that? Giovanni: I wouldn't say so, I just want to feel again that type of emotions and to focus just purely on the grappling stuff when it comes to my training sessions. Helmans: SSG or maybe straight to CWC? Giovanni: That is up to you my friend and what do you think would suit me better for now. Helmans: Alright so we got that stuff out of our way, let's go back to buzz for a second, Locke, Stepanov? Anything regarding these 2? Giovanni: To be honest I admire Stepanov abilities to get easy wins as well as easy payday for each one of his fights, I admit that his last fight was probably his hardest other than his loss but still I don't think that his opponents were that good when it comes to their wrestling and abilities to keep the fight on their feet. And Locke? That boy has been training for 5 years already and all he ever did was getting some wins against old MMA fighters, fighters with negative records or bums in overall, to then lose to one of them because he has ZERO clinchwork and cry about it and insult a guy because he used a technique that was legal in their sanctioned fight, this kid is a joke. Helmans: If you would lose in a grappling bout would you really consider that a loss? Giovanni: Why wouldn't I consider that a loss? A loss is a loss no matter the sport, I might be still undefeated in MMA but If I were to lose in grappling then be it, back in the days I've already tasted what defeat feels like, I know that I am not invincible. Helmans: One last thing regarding Jaimie Hopson, this thought just came into my mind, what do you think about his next fight against Ivan Sidorov? Giovanni: Being completely honest without being biased right now? I do feel like Sidorov will take him down eventually at least once and when he does that It should be a wrap and Jaimie once again will fold like he did against Hyrra, whom by the way he trash talked as one of the worst fighters in our division back in EMPIRE, just for him to get smashed in the 1st round by him, how ironic. Helmans: I would like to Thank You for your time and hopefully We will see you back in action soon! Giovanni: The pleasure is all mine.

Patrick Thomas: I came in here to make something clear, I will get my hands on that belt and I exactly know the gameplan of the champ like probably everyone else but lately not a single person was able to stop him for whatever the reason is. My takedown defense will be enough for him and I will knock him out inside 2 rounds to become the new champion, that one dimensional joke of a fighter won't even come close to being a threat for me. That's not an insult, that is just a fact of life.

Thoth Chontamenti: Seems like We won't be partying together at least for now Parta, someone has to do the Devils work and sent some Outlaw to where they came from. SPPS 242 short notice bout is on! I wanna thank the matchmakers and the owner of the SPPS for keeping my place on the card, seems like the odds makers are not on my side so hopefully some people will get that underdog money soon, TUNE IN!

Pekka Perkalla is my entry, could've been better but filling in for the last second is rough You still owe me one

@Daudywill be joining Team Georgia
