Now I want to see Rogers vs Lesnar, Rogers is freaky strong and may be too big for Lesnar to manhandle. Plus Rogers proved against Fedor that he isn't completely useless on the ground, he even landed some GnP that would stop any mortal man.

My first event had 4 subs, 4 decisions, and 2 KOs, So I think your weekend may have just been an oddity.

On Saturday Nov. 7th we have the inaugural event of CPNY, The Origin of Beatdowns. Before each event I will try to give a quick rundown of each fight and give keys to victory for each fighter. So without further ado..... The first fight in CPNY history will be Frankie Amerigo v normal guy Both of these fighters are 0-1 and 18 years old and need a win here to get on the right path for a future title shot. Guy has better standup skills and the wrestling to keep this fight on the feet, But a white belt in BJJ and a previous submission loss gives Amerigo an opening to exploit. This fight should be determined by who can control where the fight takes place. Sammy Zakowski v Jimbo Parks is the second fight of the evening and is a match up of two LHW's that each have multiple losses. This is a great opportunity for one of these fighters to work back towards a winning record. Jimbo Parks is an outstanding Muay Thai stiker that seems to lack the natural power to end fights while Zakowski is an excellant grappler with a lack of solid takedown ability. Regardless of whom wins the fight both of these fighters need to get back in the gym and try to patch their deficiencies if they want to make a serious run at MMA respectablily. Anna Margret v Kristo NapNip seems to be better suited for a contest of least fortunate name to have in elementary school, but alas we are a fighting promotion and fight they shall. Both fighters come in with a 0-1 record, but neither was stopped in their debut, giving some respectability to their toughness. Napnip is a good boxer with a solid background in wrestling, he will be dangerous on his feet and hard to get to the mat. Margret on the other hand is a decent Muay Thai practitioner with a reasonably good Ju-Jitsu game, If he can keep Napnip in the clinch or pull him to the ground he may be able to upset his older opponent. Lyod Hawk v Block Boldin , Hawk's well rounded skillset has yet to win him any fights, but his fight against the cage rookie Boldin may be the opportunity he's been looking for to break into the win collumn. Boldin may have to rely on his Purple belt to get him a win as he looks to be overmatched in both the clinch and on his feet. Wayde Sullivan v Rog Roundboy , Both of these fighters are coming in off of wins in their debuts and looking to make a statement in the soon to be emerging title picture. While neither of these fighters is spectacularly gifted on the ground, Roundboy's slight striking advantage may cause Sullivan to look for a takedown and an early submission. This fight does promise to go long though as neither fighters was able to finish off their opponents last time out. Adam Trombley v Sander Loughlin, The 1-0 Trombley looks to make a name for himself at 170 by defeating the very promising looking but yet untested Loughlin. Trombley won his first fight by taking down and submitting a talented striker, but appears to be in the opposite position in this fight where he needs to stay on his fight to have the best chance of beating Loughlin. Angus MacAngus v Matthew Malians, Macangus (1-0) will be one of the orgs top lightweights if he can stop cage vet Malians (2-3). Both of these fighters appear to be grapplers at heart but Malians may decide to try his hand at striker rather then face the purple belt on the ground. Nate Skate v Dan Henderson The 22 year old Skate seems to be better then his 18 year old opponent in all aspects of the fight game, but as neither has any experiance in the Cage yet Henderson may yet have a suprise for us all. Qusand Lewis v Tank The Razors Edge , Our second to last fight of the night is between two fighters with a combined record of 2-5, but both have promise if they can string together a couple of wins. Lewis seems to prefer the standup game, while Tank could be a very dangerous grappler with some work on his submission game. One of these fighters could easily go on to be a contender while the other will likely become a gatekeeper of sorts for the Welterweight division. Our headliner for the night is a Light Heavyweight bout between Teddy Lamont and Joe Vatali . Lamont showed some dangerous striking and knockout power in his debut win, but seems to have a very exploiable lack of experiance on the ground. Vatali on the other hand is only a mediocre striker but has some very solid ground skills and the power to end a fight from the mount. I wouldn't be suprised if this fight ends quickly with either fighter standing triumphant. After all is said and done, when all the cuts and bruises have healed, all of these fighters will be back in the gym and preparing for the next fight, because win or lose, there is always a next fight.

I fly by the seat of my pants.

11 days is enough time to buy a weight loss supp and lose a pound or two.

I just have a personal blacklist I am creating of the managers who have screwed me over already. It would be convenient if I didn't have to reference my list every time I sent a contract offer.

Stomping and knees on the ground are too dangerous in a cage, in the ring it's much harder to pin our opponents head and then rain knees and kicks on it.

If the NACF does go the way of the Dodo, or just cuts some of its roster to make Oli's life easier CPNY will offer contracts to any fighter from 155 to 265 that needs one.

Those are some sexy T-shirts.

If you create some fighters in the NYC come give CPNY a call. We just started but we're already 73% hipper then the next hippest org in the Empire State.

Are CPNY shirts coming in the futures?

The only org I've been with that I feel is worth pointing out at this point was AMMA out of Vegas. Terry treated and payed his fighters as well as he could and was very helpful and supportive. When he makes his new org I'm really looking forward to getting at least one of my Vegas fighters in their.

So If I wanted a belt designed by 5th round, how much would that run me?

The Combat Pro Empire has expanded to the NYC and is actively looking for fighters from 155 to 265. Get in on the ground floor now and you could be one of the first fighters to represent CPNY in international competition. Mathias
