Title

KOTB 34: Quatro Coroas (Preview) A one of a kind event is set to take place on February 27th as the Flamingo Arena in Rio De Janeiro will play host to 'King of The Beach 34: Quatro Coroas'. Four Champions will step into the octagon that evening, and no, that was not a typo, As the Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight and Light-Heavyweight belts go on the line - history is about to be made. 265+: "Irate Pirate" Abdul Abdi (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Dagvyn Khara (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) The first fight of the night was booked on very short notice, as these two men seized the opportunity of a lifetime by volunteering to throw hands after a scheduled bout fell through. Being an Openweight bout, Somalian Light-Heavyweight Abdul Abdi will weigh in significantly lighter than his opponent as well as measuring quite a bit shorter than him too. Dagvyn Khara on the other hand is a Super-Heavyweight and he will enjoy the advantages he will hold over the "Irate Pirate". Both men are boxers, and it will be most logical to assume that they will keep the fight standing, where they will exchange blows. Although Khara will possess both a reach and size advantage, with smart planning (and heavy hands), the fight could go in Abdi's favour. Expect this fight to be a brawl, with one man hitting the canvas! 185: Robert "Dougie Doins" Paisley (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. "Super" Basil Southpaste (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) The second fight of the evening will welcome two young men will be making their MMA debuts, as Robert Paisley takes on Basil Southpaste. Even though Paisley has not had a professional bout as of yet, one can assume that he will opt to stand and bang as he is a Boxer at heart, training out of Tokyo's Pewter Gym. Reports from "Forest Hill Gym" ("Super's" gym) say that Basil is a similar fighter to Paisley, although his base comes from Wrestling. It will be interesting to see how this fight plays out, and it could come down to which competitor has the heavier hands. Both men are brand new to the world of Mixed Martial Arts, and we wish them both a successful future whether it be under the organisation or otherwise. 205: Gwynfor "Great White" Jones (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Testes Two (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) Next up, two more brand new fighters will join the MMA world, as young Welsh prospect Gwynfor Jones takes on Antiguan Testes Two. Gywnfor Jones is a Muay Thai fighter and training partner of the aforementioned Robert Paisley, the third Pewter Gym representative making an appearance this night. Due to favouring Muay Thai, we can assume that Jones will aim to keep the fight standing where he can chop his opponent down with kicks, or he will take it to the clinch where he could then unleash elbows / knees. Testes is a different fighter, and as he is a Wrestler it is likely that he will want to grapple with Jones and take the fight to the floor. All of this is speculation however as neither man has had any previous fights, and we could all be surprised when the time comes! Lets hope that these fighters have a bright future, like the four that are set to fight before them. 170: Dan Howson (3-1-0, 3-1-0 KOTB) vs. Yoshiry "Samurai" Torikama (3-0-0, 1-0-0 KOTB) A pair of bright youngsters backed up with great momentum are set to clash this evening as English striking sensation Dan Howson will face Japanese Wrestler Yoshiry Torikama. Since suffering a Knockout on his KOTB and MMA debut, Howson has since had a change of fate, Knocking out his last three opponents, all in the very first round. Similarly, "Samurai" has cut through his last two opponents earning TKO victories in both bouts and unlike his opponent, he has yet to face a defeat in his MMA career. Although possessing solid skills in multiple disciplines, Howson's main is reportedly Muay Thai though we have not seen him attempt a clinch nor a kick, other than a single failed one on his debut. Torikama's background has its roots set in Wrestling, and his usual employed strategy is one where he takes his opponent down and begins to work them over with a large volume of strikes until he wins by stoppage. It will be interesting to see how these two very different fighters match up, and as the winner will have earned a victory streak totaling four, the future of them will surely be bright. Will Howson's heavy fists be the end of "Samurai's" success, or will Torikama crack his opponent's once already tested chin? 170: Johnny "Smack" Pain (6-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Miguel "Black Mamba" Ronaldo (5-4-0, 1-2-0 KOTB) Another Welterweight match will take place next as former RSF Welterweight Champion Johnny Pain is scheduled to face struggling Brazilian, Miguel Ronaldo. Johnny has racked up an impressive record in his MMA career thus far, having Knocked out every opponent that has stepped inside the cage to face him. Ronaldo hasn't been as fortunate as his opponent and has suffered four defeats in only nine fights - three of which being Knockouts. Johnny possesses solid skills in boxing as well as wrestling, and his heavy-hands often play the most crucial parts in his past successes. "Black Mamba" fights completely different to that of Pain and is a grappler, boasting a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Expect Pain's gameplan to be something along the lines of "keep it standing, smash him to bits with punches", the opposite of Ronaldo's which would be "take him down, submit him". Much like the previous fight, this one will be interesting as we see two very different men come together. 155: Beezow Doo-Doo(shortened) (4-1-0, 4-1-0 KOTB) vs. Marcus "Slick" Beck (5-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) Up next, we will see the return of KOTB regular Beezow Doo-Doo Zopitty-Bop-Bop-Bop (fucking hell) come up against company newcomer, Marcus Beck. Beezow has had a successful career as of late, having earned some impressive victories in his past four fights after losing on his first MMA and company appearance. Beck started his combat career in TWGC, where fellow KOTB fighter Ryo Takajiri became Champion and then made his MMA debut under GAMMA where he remained undefeated. Beezow has a preference for Muay Thai, and he likes to employ a number of clinches in his fights where he then works opponents over with punches. Beck on the other hand is a pure grappler, at his core and he will always aim to take the fight to the mat where he can finish using either his slick submission abilities or his ground and pound skills. Another battle between strikers and grapplers, we can only hope that this one is exciting as the the winner could easily be on his way to bigger things in the organisation if the victory is earned in an entertaining fashion. Lightweight Title Fight Dag "Dregen" Daghammar (6-0-0, 5-0-0 KOTB) vs. Lionel "wutUsay" Wright (6-3-0, 5-2-0 KOTB) The first of four Champions set to make an appearance this night is current Lightweight king Dag Daghammar as he hopes to defend his belt for the second time, against number #3 ranked Lionel Wright. Since joining the organisation, Daghammar has seen nothing but success after knocking out three men in a row to earn himself a shot at the then Champion Emerson Sheik. After defeating Sheik, Daghammar began his reign at the top and has since defended his title once, against Victor Estima. Although his career under KOTB has been largely successful, Lionel Wright has suffered two minor setbacks on his way to top, including a loss on his first shot against the ex-Champion Sean The Strangler. After amassing a three win streak similar to how "Dregen" earned his, Wright has earned a second attempt at the world title. The Champion possesses stronger Boxing than the challenger, as well as a higher prestige in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Wright boasts advantages in Muay Thai over Daghammer, and the pair are largely equal in their Wrestling prowess. Both men prefer striking over anything else, but their techniques are very different. The Champion likes to punch exclusively, and enjoys taking the fight to the clinch whereas the challenger mixes up his exchanges with both his fists and his feet whilst steering clear from dirty boxing. Featherweight Title Fight "The Little Ginger Prince" Chris Karter (7-1-0, 6-0-0 KOTB) vs. Kano "The Kamikaze Kid" Hokichi (6-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) The second Champion to defend his belt on this evening will be the only Featherweight Champion in King of the Beach history, Chris Karter as he will take on KOTB newcomer and former Dignity 145 king, Kano Hokichi. After defending his belt a record breaking four times during his career with the company, Chris Karter is surely no stranger to fighting the toughest competitors and this bout will be no different. Hokichi has yet to suffer a defeat in his MMA career, having had a more than successful one under his previous organisation - and keeping his record clean after this evening will surely be a difficult task. Although Karter has impressive skills in multiple disciplines, his strengths lie in his exceptional boxing skills as they play a large part in his knockout victories. "The Kamikaze Kid" on the other hand reportedly boasts even greater skills than that of the Champion, as he has been known to possess sensation Muay Thai amongst his other top quality abilities. This could possibly be the best fight of the night as KOTB's most successful Champion will have to keep top Japanese star away from his spot at the top of the division. If any of the fights are worth buying a ticket for - this is it! Co-Main Event Light-Heavyweight Title Fight Devon "Bam Bam" Bailey (7-0-0, 2-0-0 KOTB) vs. Third Round "YOLO" Romero (10-1-0, 5-1-0 KOTB) Next up we will be witnessing the return of one of the heavier Champions, as KOTB Light-Heavyweight top dog Devon Bailey is scheduled to face off against former Champion, Third Round Romero. Since making his company debut back on KOTB 20: Combate, where he took on and defeated the then-champion, Devon has had a prosperous short career having defended his belt a single time. "YOLO" started his company career off strongly too as he defeated the #1 205 fighter on his second fight, becoming Champion himself. After losing his belt on his first attempt at defending it, Romero changed his ways and has since racked up a streak of victories. The two are very different fighters from one another as the undefeated Canadian boasts significant advantages in his skills, especially regarding his wrestling prowess as it remains his signature discipline. Romero is a Boxer and has not sharpened his other abilities as much, which may see him being outclassed by the current belt holder. Both men enjoy clinching, and both men enjoy brawls - expect this fight to be another one to remember. Main Event Welterweight Title Fight Parker "The Terrorizer" Allen (5-1-0, 4-1-0 KOTB) vs. James La Grande (12-2-0, 4-1-0 KOTB) The final fight of the evening will welcome back two time Welterweight Champion, King of the Beach Veteran Parker Allen as aims to defend his belt against the very man he stole it from, James La Grande. The last time that these two met in the octagon, La Grande was enjoying his time as the Welterweight Champion, having defended his belt twice against two fierce opponents - which soon came to an end. The fight was finished after "The Terrorizer" Knocked out the then-Champion within one round. Evident from their last match, as well as all of his ones in the past, Allen has the very significant advantages on the feet, regarding both Boxing and Muay Thai in which La Grande can not match. James however possesses the upper-hand when it comes to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, having earned a more prestigious belt than his opponent. Both men seem to be on equal footing when it comes to wrestling too. Allen will want to keep the fight on the feet where he can then dominant his opponent, and he knows that if the fight is taken to the mat he can escape like he did on their last meeting. La Grande will likely carry out his usual strategy of shooting for takedowns, in which he hopes to get the fight to the floor where he can submit the Champion (like he has done in 11 of his 12 victories). Be sure to turn up to this history making event, where there will be fights to entertain all kinds of MMA fans!

"no"

Ridiculously late I know, and I don't want to make excuses but my time management has been piss-poor. Anyway, good luck with your fights all of you! 20/02/2016 KOTB 33: Mano (Preview) 185: Tito "Chacal" Gomez (2-4-0, 2-4-0 KOTB) vs. Benny "Starbucks" Perez (2-2-0, 0-1-0 KOTB) The first fight of the night will see two struggling Middleweights as Brazilian Tito Gomez is set to take on America's Benny Perez. After losing twice as many fights as he has won under the organisation, the future of Tito Gomez has come into question - will he ever become a contender in this jam-packed division, or is he just another common journeyman? Benny has had similar luck, not making the best of impressions after losing on his KOTB debut less than a month ago, and a win over "Chacal will put him back on track. Gomez is a diverse fighter with a preference for grappling, as he has earned a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and he has respectable Wrestling skills in addition. His opponent Perez is also partial to the ground, being a Wrestler himself although his skills are quite inferior to that of Gomez. Expect this fight to take place on the mat, either ending in a submission victory for Gomez or a Knockout for Perez. 205: "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig (0-2-0, 0-2-0 KOTB) vs. Youssef "The Marocian Belgian" El Basmati (1-2-0, 1-1-0 KOTB) The second fight of the evening is also between two unfortunate fighters as American Curt Hennig will face off against Belgium's own Youssef El Basmati. "Mr. Perfect" is a Wrestler at heart but he has amassed a fine skill-set incorporating other disciplines too, having earned a brown belt in BJJ as well as respectable Boxing. His opponent has a dangerous set of abilities, boasting superb striking in addition to his solid Wrestling defenses. Having lost in his last two performances inside the King of the Beach octagon, Curt Henning will have to defeat the man standing opposite him that night to prove that he has what it takes to climb the rankings. Similarly, El Basmati will have to get back to his winning ways after failing to grab a victory on KOTB 30: Pra Caramba via doctor stoppage, if he wishes to prove that his losses were flukes. 265+: Samson Nazirite (5-1-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Mike Kina (2-2-0, 1-2-0 KOTB) This Super-Heavyweight match-up will introduce a fresh face - Samson Nazirite - as he makes his first appearance inside the signature King of the Beach octagon, and standing opposite him will be a more familiar fighter in Mike Kina. Nazirite is a Muay Thai fighter hailing from Israel, who also possesses wonderful Wrestling capabilities. His opponent on the other hand is far less specialized, as he instead has a varied skill-set, whilst not appearing to be a master of any particular discipline. The Israeli likes to keep the fight standing where he then attempts an array of strikes from head punches to leg kicks, all in high volume - although his power remains questionable. Kina fights differently as he often opts for takedowns, avoiding the usual stand-up exchanges. Both men are no strangers to the clinch either, as both have seen to instigate them many times in the past - with Nazirite appearing stronger in that department. This fight could go any way, although my money would go on Samson Nazirite finishing the fight by TKO. 185: Kimbo Spice (3-2-0, 3-1-0 KOTB) vs. Silvio Gasaspo (1-0-0, 1-0-0 KOTB) The next fight of the night will welcome back Kimbo Spice as he returns eager to bounce back from the defeat that ended his in-company win-streak, and the man who will aim to prevent that is Silvio Gasapo. Spice garnered a reputation for himself after winning on the CS7 Lightweight Finals, but hit a bump in his road to the top as he was knocked out by fellow Middleweight prospect Antonio Silva. Silvio on the other hand has only had one professional fight, in which he submitted the aforementioned Tito Gomez. Both these two men like to grapple, and neither one is shy to be the first to take it to the mat, so one can expect the majority of this fight to take place there. A win for either man could mean big things, especially Spice as he comes into it with a lot more to prove than his less seasoned opponent. 135: Celio Aravinda (2-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. "Amazing" Augusto Azevedo (4-3-0, 4-3-0 KOTB) The two lightest men on the card come together in this Bantamweight match-up as Argentinian newcomer Celio Aravinda will step into the cage to take on KOTB regular, Brazil's own Augusto Azevedo. Aravinda has remained undefeated in his career thus far but it is no secret that his past opponents he has faced in the Quick Fighting Championship have been poor in comparison to his upcoming foe. Azevedo has had a roller-coaster career under the organisation which is largely due to the fact that he has u come up against really tough competition, namely the undefeated Champion Chris Karter as well as top contender Prathamesh Randhawa. Celio is a Boxer that prefers to strike, but his grappling skills are not to be looked past as has also earned himself a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Azevedo is an all-out grappler, preferring to showcase his Wrestling and BJJ skills wherever possible, and the majority of his wins have come by means of submission. Both these men need a victory this evening, as Aravinda makes his first appearance and Azevedo is on a losing streak. 265+: Evan "E.T." Thomas (3-2-0, 1-2-0 KOTB) vs. Igor "The Destroyer" Brezlav (3-1-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) Two men twice as heavy as those that are scheduled to fight before them, are these two golems as they come together for the second Super-Heavyweight match of the evening. After a disappointing start to his King of the Beach career, Evan Thomas managed to salvage a win when he fought the aforementioned Mike Kina and although it was cited as being a boring and uneventful match (by spectators and critics alike) - a win is a win. Igor Brezlav has yet to make his company debut and currently, all eyes are on him. Ivan had a successful yet short career in another organisation (Red Star Fighting) where he picked up three submission victories, each by a different technique. Thomas will like to take this fight to the mat where he can then execute his standard game-plan of grinding his opponent out until he gains the victory by TKO or a judges decision - he does not appear to be picky regarding either result. Similarly, Brezlav will also want to grapple as his specialties lie in both wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu although his submission defence may not be as good as he claims, as he has been submitted in his career. 205: Papas "Mucata" Kanamun (4-6-0, 4-4-0 KOTB) vs. Ezekiel "Power Trip" Puchowski (8-3-0, 5-3-0 KOTB) Two King of the Beach regulars are set to come together in this Light-Heavyweight fight between the Bulgarian turn-around Papas Kanamun and the former title-contender from Poland, Ezekiel Puchowski. Papas Kanamun's has been contracted to the company since it's very first event, KOTB 1: Primordios where he picked up a win over Shaun Hale and since then he has remained a staple of the 205 division, as he is set to make his ninth KOTB appearance tomorrow night. Another man that has been around since the company's conception is Polish phenom Ezekiel Puchowski, who is also making his ninth appearance as he steps into the octagon opposite Kanamun. "Mucata" is a submission specialist and we can expect him to try and take the fight to the grand whenever and as soon as possible, because he does not have the striking capabilities to stay standing with Puchowski. "Power Trip" on the other hand will aim to do the opposite, as he will need to avoid all takedown attempts of his opponent's if he wishes to remain in a favourable position, as Kanamun has the serious advantages when it comes to grappling. Co-Main Event 185 lb Title fight: (Champ) Giblert Melendez (7-0-0, 4-0-0 KOTB) vs. "The Steel Hero" Ganbaatar Khan (11-13-0, 1-2 KOTB) In what has proven to be one of the most controversial match-making decisions in KOTB history, the reigning defending Middleweight Champion Giblert Melendez is set to defend his belt against the brash Mongolian Ganbaatar Khan. As Khan was knocked out early in his previous fight, the fact he was given a shot at the undefeated Champion brought up a lot of questions and seemed to rile up a number of people - one was quoted saying "King of the Beach is already getting ran into the ground". A minor war of words ensued between the pair (and others) and now the two are set to tango, each man finally able to try and shut the other up. Giblert began his KOTB career with an impressive knockout of Jacare Romero, followed by a decision victory over Eric Ashton which earned him a shot at the then Champion, Nathan Fisher. After dismantling the Champion in the 4th round, Giblert earned himself the top-spot and has since defended his title one time. Ganbaatar is a whole different animal as the Mongol Madman has lost two of his three fights under the organisation, and there have been rumours that some of these fights were fixed (although, most were probably spread by Ganbaatar himself). Once a KT Champion and now an MMA one, Giblet's victories can be credited to his fantastic striking paired with his deadly use of the Muay Thai clinch where he is known to take his opponents apart piece by piece. Also favouring Muay Thai is Ganbaatar, as all of his victories have come from knockouts of various sorts, from head-kicks to flying knees. Expect this fight to be fireworks as both men will more than likely opt for standing and banging. Will Giblert shut "The Steel Hero's" mouth? or will the Mongols invade once more? Main Event 265+ lb Title Fight: (Champ) Tito "The Warrior" Griffin (6-3-0, 4-1-0 KOTB) vs. Sandu "Big Bear" Lungu (8-2-0, 5-2-0 KOTB) The final fight of the night is almost as controversial as the Co-Main, and maybe it would be had it not been overshadowed. The new Super-Heavyweight Champion of the world, Tito Griffin is set to defend his gold for the very first time against the same man he took it from only twenty days go; the former top-dog Sandu Lungu. The tough Canadian Griffin will do all he can to keep the former Champion at bay, and he will hope that through his exceptional Boxing coupled with his heavy hands, he can remain the belt-holder at the end of the night. Lungu is also a king of the KO-game, earning all of his victories via such a manner. Although both men come into the fight on equal terms when it comes to Boxing, it appears that "Big Bear" has serious advantages regarding Muay Thai, and a slight edge over his opponent in wrestling too. However, although he will likely not opt to use it - the Champion has the higher expertise in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Soon after the pair's first encounter, when Griffin quickly turned off the Romanian's lights, Lungu was heard saying " I want to show the world that was just an lucky shot", and the higher-ups listened, offering him a rematch right off the bat. Although this decision has been seen as controversial to many (as some people believe the shot should've gone to someone harbouring positive momentum), both men appear to be happy to clash once more. Will Champion Tito Griffin cement his place in the annals of KOTB history, or will Sandu Lungu claim his throne once more? Well, buy a ticket to King of the Beach 33: Mano, to find out!

So it is! My bad for forgetting to include it - I'll edit it on the KOTB news bit tomorrow.

KOTB 32: Imagina! (Preview) - Late, sorry. 155: Morgan Wade (2-2-0, 2-2-0 KOTB) vs. Conrad Terasenko (1-3-0, 1-3-0 KOTB) The first fight of the evening will bring together two young men that have fallen on hard times, as they both will desperately be aiming to put an end to their losing streaks. Morgan Wade is an American Muay Thai fighter who made his first King of the Beach appearance at "KOTB CS4: LW Opening Round" - where he dismantled his opponent with ease, earning himself a Knockout of the Night bonus in the process. Standing opposite Wade will be Conrad Terasenko, a wrestler from Russia who has suffered two losses in a row at the hand of the same man; fellow Lightweight Beezow Doo-Doo. Wade will want to keep the fight standing where he can aim to work Terasenko over with numerous strikes, as he enjoys mixing things up with both punches and kicks to all sections of his opponent's body. A fan of dirty Boxing is Terasenko, as he likes to pull opponents into the clinch where he attempts to work them over with strikes - though his punching power has seemed to let him down time and time again. A win for either man is crucial, as a three-loss streak could see them being cut from the organisation. 155: Jon "Destruction" Duangjan (2-5-0, 2-3-0 KOTB) vs. Pablo "Breaker" Esposito (2-6-0, 1-6-0 KOTB) Next up we will see another pair of unlucky Lightweights, as Malaysian Jon Duangjan takes on Brazilian Pablo Esposito. After recently suffering his fifth loss in a seven fight career, Duangjan will be hoping to get back into the win column - extending the losing streak of his opponent in the process, when the two clash this evening. A Muay Thai fighter at heart, the Malaysian likes to keep the fight standing - much like the aforementioned Morgan Wade - where he will mix up his combinations, throwing both punches and kicks whilst remaining ever unpredictable. Very different in fighting style to his opponent, is Pablo Esposito, a pure grappler who will aim to take this fight to the mat as soon as possible, where he knows he has the distinct advantages over Duangjan. The winner of this fight will be the one that executes his game-plan best, and one should expect it to end in either a Knockout from "Destruction" or a submission from "Breaker". 145: "Toxic" Tyrone Van Der Berg (3-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Renaldo "Titan" Guerra (0-1-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) The first and only Featherweight match of the night will see Kimura king and KOTB newcomer Tyrone Van Der Berg take on fellow fresh face, Renaldo Guerra. Van Der Berg has had a successful career run so far as he has earned himself three submission victories in a row under other organisations and has yet to taste defeat since turning professional. Standing opposite the sub-specialist will be the Brazilian "Titan", a man with a very diverse skill-set although he appears to be a master of no particular discipline. At the sound of the bell for Round 1, expect Van Der Berg to shoot for the takedown, and continue to do so until he takes the fight to the floor. Once there, "Toxic" tries his hardest to catch his opponent in a submission, constantly attempting them for as long as it takes. Guerra on the other hand has only had one professional fight, and it is hard to gauge what he will plan to do in this one. If I was to bet on the victor, my money would be on the undefeated submission specialist, Tyrone Van Der Berg. 205: Johnny Cage (1-1-0, 0-1-0 KOTB) vs. Dre "Mamba" Adams (3-0-0, 2-0-0 KOTB) Next up, a Light-Heavyweight brawl between two similar men is set to take place between Americans Johnny Cage and Dre Adams as they step in to the KOTB cage for their second and third times respectively. After suffering a Knockout loss in only fourteen seconds on his KOTB debut, Cage will be eager to bounce back and get one of his own, his Boxing skills playing a crucial part in that plan. No joke however is Dre Adams, as he comes in to this fight on a roll after picking up two wins under our organisation and has remained undefeated in his career as of yet. These two patriots share the same strength - Boxing, and we can be sure that they will choose to stand and bang. Although Adams has the distinct advantage when it comes to striking, he has had trouble finishing fights - his last three all going the distance whereas Cage has earned himself a TKO victory in the past. 205: Simon Sims (8-4-0, 3-3-0 KOTB) vs. Zico ""the Kick"" Ali (4-5-0, 1-3-0 KOTB) The second Light-Heavyweight match of the night will see Australian KOTB regular Simon Sims battle it out against Brazil's own Zico Ali. Simon Sims has fallen on hard times recently as he has lost his last two fights in a row at the hands of Thiagus Davaru Silva and Third Round Romero, and he will need to get a win this evening if he hopes to stay relevant in this tough division. Zico on the other hand has redeemed himself somewhat as he put an end to his three loss streak since joining the organisation, with a dominating Knockout of the aforementioned Johnny Cage on KOTB 26: Beleza. Sims is a highly skilled fighter for his age, boasting remarkable Boxing skills along with impressive Muay Thai, and even decent wrestling abilities to fall back on. Similarly, Zico Ali's main strength is his Boxing as he has become exceptional when it comes to his striking capabilities, although his Muay Thai does not come close to that of his opponent's. Expect this fight to remain standing as the two will be wanting to prove who has the better striking, and as both men possess devastating power - expect the fight to end via Knockout. 265+ "Merciless" Mick McManus (5-2-0, 5-2-0 KOTB) vs. "The Bulldog" Harry Milne (6-2-0, 4-2-0) Two familiar faces return in this Super-Heavyweight battle as proud Scotsman Mick McManus takes on "The Bulldog" Harry Milne. The entire career of "Merciless" has taken place within KOTB and during this time he once amassed a win-streak of four, all fights ending in Knockout. However, the northerner hit a bump in his way to the 265+ title - a bump named Blob Sapp - and he attempting to bounce back from his second career loss. Harry Milne started his career strong, with a four win streak but since then his record has begun to look like a roller-coaster, lose, win, lose, win. McManus will use his Boxing and wrestling skills to keep Milne at bay, but this fight will be the hardest of his career since Tito Griffin on KOTB 8. Milne's skill-set outshines his opponent's in every regard, from Boxing to Muay Thai, to Wrestling, and he will be able to fight with confidence as a result. Milne does not have the heaviest hands, but it isn't unthinkable to expect him to put away McManus when the two clash. 170: Alan Ford (7-5-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Jefferson "Grisahlo" Murillo (4-2-0, 3-1-0 KOTB) Next up is the lone Welterweight fight of the card, as newcomer Alan Ford is set to throw hands with young Brazilian prospect, Jefferson Murillo. Ford has had a very up and down career in recent days, having won only two of his past five fights and he will have to win on his KOTB debut if he plans to go far in this tough organisation. Hoping to give the Austrian a not-so-warm welcome is Jefferson Murillo, who recently used his deep and diverse skill-set to get back to his winning ways after dismantling Carlos Fierro on KOTB 24. Alan Ford possesses fantastic striking capabilities as well as great Wrestling techniques, making for a varied set of abilities. It's not easy predicting where this fight will go as the two like to take it to the mat as well as keep it standing, but one thing is for certain and that is that this fight will be all-out from the get-go. A win over Ford will help Murillo on his way to the Champion, although it could be a long way still. 185: Eric Ashton (8-3-0, 3-2-0 KOTB) vs. "Jersey" Joe Walcott (3-1-0, 3-1-0 KOTB) The eighth fight of the night will welcome back the former King of the Beach Middleweight Champion, Eric Ashton for his third fight since losing his title. Opposite Ashton will stand Joe Walcott, a gifted prospect currently on an impressive win-streak in which he ran through his poor opponents with ease. Ex-Champion Ashton has proven to be one of the best Wrestlers in the entire company, his brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu making him all the more dangerous against the cage and on the mat. Walcott on the other hand is more partial to striking, as his main discipline is Muay Thai and he does not possess the strongest grappling abilities. Ashton will want to grind his opponent out in classic Wrestler fashion, opting for takedowns whenever available followed by ground and pound until he earns the KO victory that he is known for. Walcott enjoys leg-kicking more than anything else, as they make up for the majority of his strikes although he does switch things up by throwing body-kicks, head punches, and various other techniques. The man who executes his gameplan better will be the victor tonight as it is crucial for both fighters that the match goes their way, and follows their pace. I predict that Ashton will get his name back into possible title contention with a TKO / KO over Walcott this evening. Co-Main Event Bantamweight Title: "The Devil Dawg" Chesty Puller (6-4-0, 0-0-0) vs. Audley Barristan "Selmy" (9-2-0, 0-0-0) Two men making their KOTB debut will fight as the Co-Main Event for a chance to become the Bantamweight Champion of the world, as they vie for the vacant title. Previously a title-holder in a different organisation, Chesty Puller will step into the KOTB octagon with the memories of once being top dog still fresh in his mind, a driving force for motivation. Similarly, Barristan was also a two-time world Champion under other companies, and one can imagine that his hunger for gold will be just as strong as the man that will be standing opposite him. Both men are brawlers with neither one shy to fight anywhere whether it be on the feet, in the clinch, or on the mat. Puller enjoys bringing the fight to the ground where he can work his opponent over with a barrage of strikes from the top position and one can presume that he will aim to do the same when the two clash this evening. Barristan prefers to keep the fight standing, where he often instigates clinches and attempts to dismantle his foes with a barrage of knees in opposed to punches or elbows. This fight is set to be spectacular, and the crowning of the very first King of The Beach Bantamweight Champion will take place. Main Event 265+: "The Enforcer" Luca Brasi (3-0-0, 2-0-0 KOTB) vs. "The Wilderbeast" William Volkov (6-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) The highly anticipated Main Event will be between Italian rising star, Luca Brasi and the often talked about newcomer, William Volkov. Brasi has caught the attention of many people after his two dominant victories in the short time he has been with the organisation, and he will gain an incredible amount of recognition if he manages to defeat the man that will be standing opposite him. No stranger to being in the Main Event is Red Star Fighting Hall-of-Famer William Volkov, who comes into the company as a two-weight world Champion, as he hopes to recreate his success on foreign soil. The two men have almost identical skill-sets although the way they both fight is very different to one another. Brasi opts for clean exchanges on the feet as his go-to tactic, mixing things up with single strikes to both the head and body as well as attempting a number of quick combinations. Whereas Volkov does the same, but will also bring his opponents into his deadly clinch where he will then work them over with powerful strikes. Both men are terrifying, heavy-handed and undefeated so this is a Main Event to look out for - and really big things could be in line for whoever walks away untarnished and victorious.
