vahti Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 http://www.mmatycoon.info/images/0/0a/Nfc84.jpg 185: Main Event: "Hillitön paahtaja" Pasi Kullero (14-0-0) v igor "pure evil" glozman (18-3-0) The Main Event is a massive one, as undefeated NFC Middleweight Champion, and undisputed number 1 ranked Middleweight in the World, "Hillitön paahtaja" Pasi Kullero takes on EUFC Champion and number 9 ranked Middleweight worldwide igor "pure evil" glozman here to round up NFC 84. This is a legitimate fight, the challenger, with 15 of 18 career wins via violent (T) KO boasts Sensational Boxing and Wonderful Muay Thai in what is a well-respected and feared striking game, however, glozman doesn’t come to the cage a one trick pony, he also can call upon Wonderful Wrestling and Brown grade BJJ yet with these two men, I am fairly certain this one gets solved on its feet. igor "pure evil" glozman is the number 9 ranked Middleweight in the world, and he’s going to be super confident coming into this fight having only lost twice in recent memory. Hailing from Tel Aviv, Israel the Challenger will be giving up a big reach and height advantage to the Champion of NFC and how he approaches this tactically will be the key to the bout I feel. A Champion himself from EUFC, in Las Vegas this bout is yet another in what has been a huge inter organisation conflict and this is certainly the biggest fight in that feud to date and "pure evil" will have all eyes on him as he represents EUFC. Come fight night, "Hillitön paahtaja" Pasi Kullero boasts Sensational Boxing and Superb Muay Thai, he can call upon a record of 14 wins split evenly between (T) KO and Decision, he’s never been beaten and the pride of NFC will be looking to cement his place at the top of the pile worldwide in Middleweight, not to mention those analysts pound for pound rankings. As stated before, the reach and height difference is something I have identified that could be key and it is certainly in Kullero’s favour, can he take advantage of this natural advantage he has and construct a game plan to execute it? The Finn takes on the Israeli in one of the biggest Middleweight bouts in history, there is literally nothing between these men on paper – Kullero might just have the advantage should this fight go into the deeper rounds, however glozman will be very happy to have went the distance for the first time in quite a while in his career last time out in what was good preparation. “pure evil” might be considered an underdog, but he’s the more experienced fighter and he does have the power to finish anyone, can he be the first to defeat the near mythical Pasi Kullero Saturday night? This one is going to be absolutely explosive, and this is truly one of those fights that fans have wanted to see for months. I am intrigued to see how glozman’s heralded power translates onto Kullero’s chin, and I am interested to see how glozman goes about neutralising the natural advantages that Kullero holds. This is a fascinating encounter and could easily turn into one of those classic bouts, miss this one at your peril. 205: Co Main Event: David "Frankenstein" Silva (12-3-0) v Unski Hallavaara (19-7-0) What a war is in prospect here at Light-Heavyweight as Sensational Boxer Unski Hallavaara takes on David "Frankenstein" Silva in the Co Main Event, both these men have finishing power and I expect this one to remain standing as both men try and assert their dominance over the other in a striking game which could provide fireworks for the audience in attendance. Unski Hallavaara lost last time out, which was his shot at the NFC 205 Championship, and it remains to be seen how he will have recovered from that devastating KO loss and that must surely play on his mind coming into this bout against an Exceptional Boxer in David "Frankenstein" Silva who has not lost in seven straight bouts. Unski Hallavaara does possess Wonderful Wrestling and I wonder will he try and use that to deviate from his usual game plan and catch his opponent cold? With both these men well versed in going the distance, we might get a brawl, or we could get a real technical striking match here. Either way I believe the fans are in for a treat and this fight will really be won and lost on the tactics both these men are instructed with from their respected management teams. 265: Neik Hammerlik (14-6-0) v "Painijyrä" Mitchell Stehling (10-4-0) Having won his last five on the trot and with 8 of 14 career wins via (T) KO, Canadian striker Neik Hammerlik will be hoping his Remarkable Boxing can provide him with a route to another victory here in this Heavyweight bout. Neik Hammerlik certainly is on a real streak and is a pretty good and well-rounded fighter, displaying good talent in every area thus far in his career. However Saturday night he comes up against a monster and you have to wonder if Hammerlik is ready for someone like Mitchell Stehling despite having paradoxically a massive experience advantage over the young up and comer. "Painijyrä" boasts Elite Wrestling and Brown grade BJJ, this however is not his best asset as Stehling likes to really mess opponents up in the clinch with his Exceptional Boxing game and this has helped provide him with 8 of 10 career wins via (T) KO. It remains to be seen what Hammerlik can do here, surely he must be considered an underdog, however – Stranger things have happened, yet "Painijyrä" Mitchell Stehling has publicly declared “Ass whuppin coming up”. Will his words come back to haunt him? 205: Marko Torturo (9-2-0) v Les "Bei Dem Knee" Grossman (10-5-1) Sensational Boxer and Exceptional Muay Thai striker Marko Torturo, with 6 of 9 wins via (T) KO faces off against Sensational Wrestler and dangerous Brown grade BJJ grappler Les Grossman here at Light-Heavyweight. This fight is at its most basic a grappler versus striker bout and this fight I am nearly sure will be decided by just how long Marko Torturo can frustrate "Bei Dem Knee". If he manages to keep this fight standing, I expect him to pick up a victory, however Grossman is a serious takedown expert and it remains to be seen just how Torturo will go about keeping the distance between the two fighters here. Les Grossman will be will be looking to get back on track here following a loss last time out, whereas Torturo has the form coming into this bout, having won two consecutive. 170: Aarre Voutilainen (13-7-0) v Jeeves "The Driver" Smith (19-7-2) 155: Esko "Vaara" Salo (12-6-0) v Dmitry Nagiev (12-2-0) 265: Dennis Gavin (8-4-0) v "Vapahtaja" Mauri Kunnas (14-5-1) 155: Valdemar "Mora" Friman (13-7-0) v Sigurd Fafnisbani (16-5-0) 265: Lasse "Lucrative" Lukottaja (9-7-0) v Timo Ryti (9-7-1) 155: Raimo "Timantti" Tikkari (6-9-0) v Travis "Boom Boom" International (6-7-0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahti Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1302806862poster85.jpg NFC 85 Jokinen vs Norzu 155: Main Event: Otso “Spartacus" Jokinen (10-2-0) v Santeri Norzu (15-3-0) The Main Event of the Evening is for the Lightweight title as the awesome Otso "Spartacus" Jokinen once again defends his title, undefeated in five this will be his second title defence and “Spartacus" looked fearsome on his last outing. The Champion boasts Sensational Boxing and Wrestling not to mention Brown grade BJJ to compliment what is a supremely talented all-around game, Jokinen has very few holes in his game and to defeat this man I feel will take a huge effort as he looks to close in on being the top ranked Lightweight in the world which surely must be his goal right now. And at only 22 the Finn from Helsinki is far from being the finished article, which doesn’t bode well for his opponents. Knowing how to avoid the dangerous clinch of “Spartacus” is usually the key for his opponents, his opponent tonight is not foolish as Santeri Norzu is undefeated in five and a former Champion of Fire FC will know well how Jokinen likes to operate. However, with 12 of his 15 career wins via (T) KO, this Sensational Boxer and Wonderful Muay Thai practitioner will welcome a stand-up battle with the Champion I would believe. Norzu isn’t a good a grappler as the Champion and that will be a problem, because Jokinen will want to take this to the mat eventually, if the Challenger can somehow avoid the clinch, and the take down from the clinch his chances of winning will be improved immeasurably and this is where this fight will be won and lost. Who can assert their dominance and control the distance. The Challenger will want to keep the distance, and Jokinen will no doubt want to close the distance and the tactics that both these men bring to the cage will be crucial. I expect this to be a war of attrition; it’s a great way to end NFC 85 with two top 10 worldwide Lightweights going at it as NFC yet again delivers another bout for the ages with this huge contest in prospect. 185: Co Main Event: Sampsa Siloposki (17-6-0) v Ran "Tan" Plan III (10-3-0) The Co Main Event of the Evening is a big Middleweight clash as Sampsa Siloposki, fresh off a loss at NFC 81 for the Middleweight title looks to get back on track here at the expense of v Ran "Tan" Plan III who also experienced a loss to the Middleweight king Pasi Kullero at NFC 76. Both these men will really want to get back into a position to rectify that record. Both these men are better striking that grappling and I believe that means we can perhaps look forward to a bruising encounter here in the Co Main Event. Both these men boast Exceptional Boxing, Siloposki can also claim to have the better Muay Thai of the two as well as a generally better all-around game on paper. While Siloposki could feasibly use his grappling as a route to victory I don’t expect him to do so because he is the more experienced fighter and will be confident that his opponent can’t trouble him or bring anything new to the table that he hasn’t seen before. Ran “Tan” Plan III however is a very explosive striker with obvious power as he has racked up 8 of his 10 career wins now via (T) KO. Furthermore, this is not the first time these men have met, with Sampsa Siloposki taking the win way back at NFC 60 in a Round 3 stoppage. I believe “Tan” has improved immeasurably since then and the first fight won’t hold any real bearing on this fight – However it might well just persuade Sampsa Siloposki to stand and bang knowing that he has finished his opponent once before, Ran "Tan" Plan III will be absolutely determined not to lose to the same man twice. This could well be a contender for ‘Fight of the Night’ here. 265: Joseph "Huesos" Jones (23-9-0) v Mikko Kytta (11-6-0) “Chin up, hands down, let's brawl” sums up Joseph "Huesos" Jones perfectly, and with Sensational Boxing and Remarkable Muay Thai why wouldn’t you welcome a brawl? Jones is easily one of the most experienced fighters in the history of NFC and on a streak of three straight wins he’ll want to continue that good form here at NFC 85. And with two men with the attitudes of Kytta and Jones collide, we are certain to get a finish because with 10 of 11 career wins via (T) KO Mikko Kytta is easily one of the most aggressive and explosive fighters that NFC possesses. This promises to be an absolute war and this one could be over in a second as the American and The Finn clash here at Heavyweight. I suspect this fight will start and finish on the feet as these men will really want to get the feeling of superiority and with both these men’s strong points being striking they both will have the chance to assert that dominance here. 265: Grigori Lebedev (9-0-0) v Roddy "Big Time" Bowes (12-7-0) Grigori Lebedev comes into this fight with a perfect record, undefeated in nine professional fights and this Exceptional Boxer has also taken down 4 of those 9 wins via (T) KO. The Russian however has shown himself to be much more than a one dimensional striker, having shown some able submission ability and with his Remarkable Wrestling he is often able to control the pace of fights, which arguably was the foundation for those decision wins he has also been able to grind out. Across the cage tonight however there is no doubt that Roddy “Big Time” Bowes is the toughest challenge that Lebedev has faced to date. A veteran, who comes to get in a fight, Bowes is easily one of the most popular fighters in NFC and is rarely in a boring fight – This fact might well help his opponent though because “Big Time” is a much better all-around fighter, and if this comes down to a war of attrition, you wonder just how much his relative lack of experience might work against the undefeated up and coming star. Grigori Lebedev will most likely come into this fight as favourite due to his rising stock – however dismissing Roddy Bowes or taking him lightly, will result in his first defeat for sure. 170: "Warhammer" Terrell Reed (15-4-0) v "Tolkuton mullikka" Palkki Niskavuori (10-2-0) 205: "!Roid Rage!" Muskeli Mies (9-3-0) v Simo Kuassimo (6-1-0) 205: Re Christensen (13-13-0) v Sky Scrape (14-6-0) 185: Bumba "TDC Champion" Motumbo (15-3-0) v "Global Killer" Anabol Asteroid (16-8-1) 185: Jake "Deadpool" Kilmster (12-7-1) v Joey Silvera (4-1-0) 155: Johan Herberg (11-5-1) v Hannu "Hanhi" Hantta (12-8-0) Edited April 17, 2011 by vahti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahti Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 http://www.mmatycoon.info/images/0/0a/Nfc84.jpg NFC 84 Kullero vs Glozman review 185: Pasi Kullero v Igor Glozman As soon as the bell went in this one, Pasi Kullero immediately managed to get the clinch position on Igor Glozman and that’s how this fight played out with both men swinging at each other from close distance which obviously suited the Champion of NFC. Kullero’s dirty boxing is just nasty and so it proved here as the major reason for his (T) KO win due to strikes after just 3:48 of Round 1. Glozman knew what was coming at him but couldn’t stop the man who is now ranked number 4 on the p4p list and number 2 at Middleweight worldwide. This victory also moved Pasi Kullero to 15-0-0 and won him KO of the Night honours. Next up for him is a massive test against Jigoro "Mollywhop" Kane, the undisputed number one fighter on the planet and that’s sure to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest show ever undertaken by NFC. 205: Unski Hallavaara v David Silva Unski Hallavaara was surprisingly comfortable in the Co Main Event here against David Silva, Silva tried to take the bout to the mat a few times during the course of the fight but was unable to do so, resulting in him having to strike with Hallavaara who looked relatively comfortable Boxing his way to a unanimous 30:37 victory. Unski Hallavaara was far more aggressive in the stand up and that really was the basis for his win here as he did enough to get himself one more hurdle at Light-Heavyweight. 265: Mitchell Stehling v Neik Hammerlik Mitchell Stehling blew away the crowd in attendance with his performance here, not only did he draw blood standing up, but then superbly took down Neik Hammerlik as he didn’t even realise what had happened. From top position there was to be no doubt as he worked over Hammerlik and then finished him with some big ground and pound to force the referee to intervene and hand him a (T) KO victory at the 3:22 mark of Round 1. 205: Marko Torturo v Les Grossman Les Grossman was guilty of being unable to implement his game plan here as he tried in vain to get this bout to the mat throughout the 15 minutes it ran. When he did get it to the mat he was frustrated further as almost immediate Marko Torturo scored a nice switch and left him on the bottom. This fight just didn’t go right for Grossman at all and Marko Torturo pretty much just beat up on him when he was forced to trade. Marko Torturo took a dominant decision win, with the judges differing on their scores, but united in awarding the win to Torturo, 29:26, 30:26 and 30:25 to show just how dominant he was. 170: Jeeves Smith v Aarne Voutilainen These two men shared ‘Fight of the Night’ honours for this one, and Jeeves Smith was the man who took down the victory to boot. This was a Welterweight war with both these men going for it and whilst Aarre Voutilainen looked the more industrious of the two, it was Smith who took this one courtesy of a big Round 2 where he sent Voutilainen to the mat with a big right hand and swarmed all over him for the rest of the round looking the finish. You might see this one again however at some stage as the judges, perhaps controversially decided that Jeeves Smith took the win, and every Round with all three scoring the bout 30:27 to Smith. 155: Esko Salo v Dmitry Nagiev Esko Salo took a closely fought contest here at Lightweight with his much more varied forms of attack paving the way for the win. Nagiev concentrated mostly on trying to kick the legs of Salo, and he attempted a large number of these only for Salo to check and then punish with his own offence. 265: Mauri Kunnas v Dennis Gavin Mauri Kunnas took the win here, but I get the feeling that Dennis Gavin will not be one bit happy at the scoring of this bout. With both men only really interested in clinching up – It was Kunnas who done enough to impress the judges to take a unanimous decision win. However looking at the statistics after the fight, Dennis Gavin looked to be the much more effective fighter. 155: Valdemar Friman v Sigurd Fafnisbani Valdemar Friman got himself into a good position over Rounds 1 and 2 in this bout, knowing he could take the decision win if he avoided being finished in Round 3 he took the foot off the gas a bit but still done enough to take the decision win here. It was a risky tactic but it paid off as the judges awarded him this fight 29:28. 265: Timo Ryti v Lasse Lukottaja Timo Ryti woke the crowd up in this one with a sensational win over the helpless Lasse Lukottaja, who was rocked early on, and never really recovered as Ryti sent him to the mat with a big combination, before letting him up to condemn him to the floor again. Super aggression from Ryti and this was a highlight reel finish for sure. 155: Raimo Tikkari v Travis International Raimo Tikkari absolutely mauled Travis International in this one, particularly with those leg kicks landing a massive 85 of 89 as Travis International took a serious beating, but to be fair to him, he lasted the distance to force the judges to declare Raimo Tikkari your unanimous decision victor.

vahti Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1302806862poster85.jpg NFC 85 Jokinen vs Norzu Review 155: Otso Jokinen v Santeri Norzu Otso Jokinen dominated this fight; he had it won after Round 3 aslong as he played it safe. He could have gone home relatively undamaged but that is not what this man is about. From the start he came out attacking, and he continued that assault long after this was over as a contest and it finally paid off in the very last second of the final round as he picked up the (T) KO win due to strikes. Norzu will probably admit he was out worked on the mat and on his feet in this bout as Jokinen really put on a show to once again defend his Lightweight Championship. With this win the Champion now moves to 11-2-0 and Otso "Spartacus" Jokinen is now ranked as the Number 2 Lightweight in the world with this win. The question for this animal is, who’s next? 185: Sampsa Siloposki v Ran Plan III Ran Plan III was routed in the Co Main Event of the Evening as Sampsa Siloposki head hunted him all night until he finally got through late in the bout, with Sampsa Siloposki having much joy previously in the clinch there is no surprise that’s how this bout ended with some serious dirty boxing by Siloposki and especially the torque he gets on those uppercuts are just nasty. Siloposki improves to 18-6-0 with this win. 265: Joseph Jones v Mikko Kytta Joseph Jones scores a massive KO win here in the opening minute of this bout, from rocking Kytta with a jab – he was still quite wobbly, unprotecting himself and Jones simply made no mistake and lands an uppercut from hell that left Kytta unconscious, the referee recognising that he was out stopped this one because Jones looked like a man who wasn’t finished. Superb aggression from Jones and what an animal he is, advancing to 24 career wins, 17 of which via (T) KO and taking down that ‘KO of the Night’ award too. 265: Grigori Lebedev v Roddy Bowes NFC 85 will go down in the record books as a night of finishes, and this fight was no different as Grigori Lebedev advanced to 10-0-0 thus far in his career with a massive win over the experienced and fancied Roddy Bowes here. But it wasn’t all plain sailing as Bowes cut Lebedev and there was a real feeling that this fight might have been stopped had Bowes been able to do anymore damage. The cut of course brought out the grappler and Lebedev just took this one to the mat to get out of the woods before finishing Bowes in the third round with his stand up. I thought this was an exceptional performance from Lebedev, certainly one of the biggest upcoming stars at Heavyweight, or indeed all of NFC and this one was deserving of ‘Fight of the Night’. 170: Terrell Reed v Palkki Niskavuori Terrell Reed took this fight to the mat in the opening seconds, and then probed for the submission until he got it after 3:15 of Round 1, it was really the open and shut a case here. "Warhammer" knew he couldn’t afford to get involved in a striking match, but this was surely better than he expected as he breezed past Niskavuori here, taking ‘Submission of the Night’ honours with him. 205: Simo Kuassimo v Muskeli Mies Just 28 seconds was all it took here for Simo Kuassimo to score a massive KO win over Muskeli Mies, Kuassimo cut his opponent early on with a counter, and followed the same tactic to finish him as he caught Mies with a monster hook to put him out on his feet. Big win for Kuassimo who now stands at 7-1-0. 205: Re Christensen v Sky Scrape It was Sky Scrape who done all the running in this fight, easily taking down Round 1 and easily taking down Re Christensen for that matter as he generally looked to be well on his way after an impressive start. So when Re Christensen pulled out the submission win here from absolutely nowhere, you can understand just how angry Sky Scrape will be after taking his eye off the ball for that brief second to succumb to an arm bar after 3:05 of Round 2. Re Christensen got out of jail here, Sky Scrape will be banging on doors looking a rematch you feel. 185: Bumba Motumbo v Anabol Asteroid This fight had the dubious honour of being the only fight of the night to go the distance, but don’t think that made it any less entertaining as arguably the best and closest fight of the night came from this one as Bumba Motumbo and Anabol Asteroid decided they were going to fight it out on their feet and see who was best. Bumba Motumbo in the end took down a razor close 29:28 decision win but this one was a real war, the difference in the end was that whilst Asteroid bossed the fight at distance, most of the fight was fought in the clinch and this is where Motumbo really made his presence felt on his opponent dominating from the clinch position but I wouldn’t mind seeing these two go at it again down the line, and I think they’d agree to it too. 185: Joey Silvera v Jake Kilmster Jake Kilmster got this fight to the mat early in Round 1, but that was as good as it got for him in this bout as Joey Silvera put on a striking clinch landing an unbelievable percentage of his strikes before finishing this one early in Round 2 with a crazy head kick finish. Infact when the final fight statistics came up after the bout, it emerged that Silvera had a 100% accuracy landing everything he threw at his opponent. What a massive win for Silvera and he moves to 5-1-0 in style here. 155: Johan Herberg v Hannu Hantta Johan Herberg came into the cage, took down Hantta twice, looked for a submission that didn’t come, got a bit tired of that and then just beat up Hantta on the mat from the top until this fight was stopped by the referee after the 4:38 of Round 2 mark. It was really that simple for Herberg, who did miss a few take downs too, which was the only bad thing you can say about him in this bout as he rolled over the challenge of Hannu Hantta.

vahti Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/13028066195.jpg NFC 86 Remmi vs Glory Preview 265: Main Event: Veto "Rotta" Remmi (24-3-1) v Golden Glory (10-0-0) A title holder in both NFC and NFC’s sister org, NFC: Prospects, Veto "Rotta" Remmi is the number 8 ranked Heavyweight in the world and this Wonderful Boxer and Superb Muay Thai striker has an impressive record of 24 wins, with 15 of those coming by way of (T) KO. Having only lost once in recent memory, this is a man very much at the top of his game and the Finn is back in action Saturday night headlining NFC 86. "Rotta" is a wily old veteran and he’s been there and done that, and he’s seen everything you can in this game. His opponent come Saturday night however is relatively inexperienced, but in saying that, he stands with a perfect record of 10-0-0 and with all of those wins coming via (T) KO, not to mention he’s only been out of Round 1 twice in his career, Golden Glory, certainly is a worthy challenger here. With Exceptional Boxing and Sensational Muay Thai – Golden Glory has the stand-up offence to finish anyone clearly, and with Remmi himself being a knockout artist, you can guarantee this is going to be a real scrap. You have to wonder just how much Remmi’s experience will tell in this bout, and if there is anything he has spotted on the fast rising wonder kid Golden Glory that he can expose come fight night. This is going to be a great bout, and with this being the biggest test in Glory’s career thus far, will that impact him or see him change his style in anyway? This Heavyweight Main Event has the number 8 and number 3 Heavyweight’s in the world go at it, curiously “Rotta” might well be considered the underdog here in this one despite his wealth of experience – that’s how impressive Glory has been thus far in his career, can he continue his remarkable rise? 265: Co Main Event: "Wagner" Paha SIka (14-3-0) v Ludvig "Biffen" Landersson (12-4-0) With Exceptional Muay Thai and Boxing to call upon in the Co Main Event, “Wagner” Paha Slka also has the explosiveness to compliment his obvious talent with 9 of 14 wins via (T) KO. And the Finn from Vantaa will look to improve on this record as he sets out to further his title aspirations here at NFC 86. However he faces a massive test here on Saturday night as he looks to inflict back to back losses on Ludvig Landersson fresh off his latest defeat in his quest for NFC glory. Can “Wagner” capitalise on any hangover that “Biffen” might have here in this one? He’ll be considered a big underdog I feel but there is no reason why he cannot take this one down for sure. Ludvig "Biffen" Landersson, from Stockholm, Sweden just can’t defeat NFC Heavyweight Champion, Veto "Rotta" Remmi. With a loss last time out, that means he’s now lost twice to the Champion and you have to wonder what’s going through the 22 year olds head right now, and this is something that “Wagner” will really look to take advantage of. “Biffen” has Exceptional Boxing of his own, but with Wonderful Wrestling and Brown grade BJJ – “Biffen” has that Plan B that Slka doesn’t seem to have and this could make all the difference in this bout I believe. v Ludvig "Biffen" Landersson will remain convinced that he can finally get his hands on NFC Heavyweight gold, and a big win here will surely put him back in the frame yet away as this looks to be a man on a mission to make it third time lucky for sure. 185: Urpo Nyrkki (15-5-0) v Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr (12-3-0) With three wins in a row, NFC Middleweight Urpo Nyrkki is in really good form coming into this bout and this Exceptional Boxer and Remarkable Muay Thai striker will particularly want to continue his recent record with his last two wins coming via Round 1 finishes. There is no doubt that Nyrkki will want to keep this one standing, and I get the feeling that Sensational Boxer Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr will have no problem fighting it out to see who is the better striker of the two here. With 8 of 12 wins via (T) KO there is no doubt that both these men have the ability to finish this in a second. Also on a streak of three straight wins, this fight will really propel the winner into contention you have to believe in the Middleweight division and I think that could well mean this fight is an early contender for ‘Fight of the Night’ honours. Urpo Nyrkki will have a big height and reach advantage here and you have to wonder what “Svartur” will come up with to combat this, but one thing that really will add to the confidence of Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr is the fact that he’s never in his career been finished by strikes, and that may well see him come out and really go at Urpo Nyrkki who will be trying to use his reach advantage to stay out of trouble. I think this could be a superb contest and I cannot wait for this one to go down as these two may well throw tactics out the window and brawl it out. 170: Olli "Scourge" Jokinen (19-5-0) v "master of the universe" He Man (11-2-0) Sensational Boxing, Sensational Muay Thai and dangerous Brown grade BJJ Oli “Scourge” Jokinen has it all and this 29 year old really has nothing to learn and coming off his first loss in quite some time he’ll be more determined than ever to really come out and get a win here which doesn’t bode well for his opponent tonight, “master of the universe” He Man. He Man himself is no slouch, with Wonderful Boxing and Muay Thai he’s now won seven straight and the last five of which have been via unanimous decision so he clearly knows his way around the cage but you have to wonder can He Man really hang with someone as vastly talented and experienced as “Scourge” Jokinen? Both these men are well versed however in going the distance and the tactics they bring to the cage, and how they implement them, if they can will go a long way to deciding who takes down this one. Olli Jokinen will mostly come into this one as the favourite, despite strangely He Man being undefeated in seven. 265: "Lentävä" Janne Maunonen (12-6-0) v Shane Grebovski (11-2-0) 265+: Milo "Of" Kroton (10-3-0) v Rick "One Minute Man" Thompson (9-3-0) 155: Rolf Thorkildsen (13-7-0) v Torsti Turjake (15-8-0) 265: Antti Haapasalo (8-5-0) v Jose Luis "El Chupacabra" Rodriguez (11-8-0) 205: Goran Persson (3-0-0) v Abdi "Veli" Muhammed (6-3-0) 185: Lasse Kongo (5-1-0) v Stringer Bell (13-12-0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahti Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/13028066195.jpg Post event - NFC 86 Remmi vs Glory 265: Main Event: Golden Glory v Veto Remmi The Main Event of NFC 86 was the war we anticipated, and it finished just as quickly as we thought it might as Golden Glory and Veto Remmi just went at it here. Both started out aggressive with Glory landing some telling leg kicks with Remmi looking pretty uncomfortable landing a few punches of his own. But this fight was won and lost when Golden Glory literally tackled Remmi into the cage, and from here he just bullied Remmi until he took the (T) KO win after just 2:12 of Round 1. In the clinch Glory was very aggressive and he went after Remmi’s head landing punches and elbows until he collapsed under the pressure and the referee saved him from more punishment. This was a dominant win for Glory who extends his perfect record with this win to an amazing 11-0-0. 265: Co Main Event: Ludvig Landersson v Paha SIka The Co Main Event of the Night lasted the distance but it was no less exciting for it as both Ludvig Landersson and Paha SIka decided to go at it and try and take each other out in this stand up war. Ludvig Landersson emerged triumphant as he took down what was a razor close 28:29 decision win in his favour and while he ended the fight with the only man with blood on his face, he managed to outwork Slka by being more economic with his offence. The amount of missed shots that Slka attempted surely worked against him but it must have been a tough call for the judges as neither man really emphasised much dominance in this one. Slka would have no problems going at this one again I’d have thought but with Landersson’s win, he’s moved well up the rankings here and improves to 13-4-0 with it and he’ll have one eye on the 265 crown now I’d imagine. 185: Urpo Nyrkki v Gunnar Ingi Jr Well this was the fight that really got the emotions going as both Urpo Nyrkki and Gunnar Ingi Jr had to be separated by the judges in what was a real coin toss. You could have made a case for either fighter; it was that close but the judges gave this one to Urpo Nyrkki via split decision. This fight was surely lost and won with Nyrkki being able to stuff 7 of 8 of Gunner Ingi Jr’s takedowns, apart from that this fight was even. There was minimal difference in the stand-up scoring, and afterwards we found out that Round 2 was the Round scored that split the decision here, which was a round in which Ingi Jr tried in vain to get the bout to the mat, but was unsuccessful and cost him the fight. Urpo Nyrkki will be happy to get out of town after this one, but Ingi Jr will rue the fact that this was a fight he could have taken down, had his Wrestling been more cutting edge. 170: Olli Jokinen v He Man Olli "Scourge" Jokinen moves to 20-5-1 with a dominant display over He Man here at NFC 86, to get back on track following his previous loss. He Man found Jokinen very elusive as he didn’t really land anything of note, despite being very active with his kicking and head punches especially. Olli Jokinen’s counter attacking style was really effective here as on a number of occasions He Man was literally walking into his shots and Jokinen always had the upper hand in this one as he gets another win to add to his CV without really breaking much of a sweat. Olli Jokinen will face off against Bill Dance next and he’ll look to exploit any weaknesses shown by Jokinen in this one – he might find himself banging his head against a wall on that one unfortunately such was Jokinen’s dominance as he took a clear 30:26 unanimous decision scored by all judges. 265: Shane Grebovski defeats Janne Maunonen via Unanimous Decision. 265+: Milo Kroton defeats Rick Thompson via (T) KO (Strikes) at 2:27 of Round 2. 155: Torsti Turjake defeats Rolf Thorkildsen via Majority Decision. 265: Jose Luis Rodriguez defeats Antti Haapasalo via KO (Punch) after 2:33 of Round 1. 205: Goran Persson defeats Abdi Muhammed after 0:52 of Round 1 via KO (Punch). 185: Lasse Kongo defeats Stringer Bell via (T) KO (Strikes) after 1:44 of Round 1.

vahti Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1302806879poster87.jpg Post event - NFC 87 Kalske vs Lukashenko 265+: Main Event: Hemmo Kalske v Alexander Lukashenko Hemmo Kalske once again puts his case forward as the baddest man in all of NFC with a dominant and utterly devastating finish of Alexander Lukashenko to round up another great night of NFC action. The number one ranked Super Heavyweight in the world took just 2:32 of the very first round to dispose of his latest challenger as he landed a big hook, and then was just like a shark who smelled blood after his felled opponent hit the ground pounding him out for the win via (T) KO. Interestingly, Kalske’s Super Heavyweight title wasn’t on the line for this one – But it will be at NFC 90 where Kalske takes on Iiro "The Man" Tolonen in what will be a big challenge for the Champion. For now Kalske sits back and relaxes with another win on his record to improve to 13-1-0 with another Round 1 finish to boot. 185: Co Main Event: Fuzzy Bear v Kosti Johannes Kosti Johannes was very quick out of the blocks in Round 1 to take this fight into the clinch, and he was successful in doing so putting Fuzzy Bear into a less than advantageous position. However when Fuzzy Bear broke free and Johannes couldn’t get the position again this fight was badly one sided as Bear landed a big head kick to put Johannes on the floor, both cutting him open and leaving him rocked big time only for the bell to save him at the end of Round 1. Round 2 lasted just 20 seconds as Johannes was not sufficiently recovered and was punished again with a head kick that basically finished the fight, before Fuzzy Bear in super aggressive style landed a hook which rendered the out on his feet Johannes unconscious to pick up a highlight reel finish KO after 0:20 of Round 2 and move to 15-4-0. 170: Maddy Rock v Frekkas Poop Frekkas Poop was always trying to get this Welterweight bout to the mat, and during the course of the bout he was successful with just 3 of 8 attempts, often neglecting to set up his takedowns with strikes which left him in danger of being tagged repeatedly by Maddy Rock. Whilst Frekkas Poop did get the fight to the mat on 3 occasions, this was his avenue of victory and he just couldn’t land anything whilst in the dominant position and this essentially cost him the fight because all the judges remained unimpressed by this tactic evidentially as they awarded Maddy Rock a 27:30 victory. Maddy Rock will be the first to admit he was less than impressive here; however he did open up Frekkas Poop with strikes on two occasions which always looks good for the judges and basically just frustrated Poop to pick up a relatively routine win for him. Rock gets back on track here with the win and now stands with a record of 16-6-0. 205: Cain Slyker v Thomas Pinta This fight was all about the laser accurate counter striking of Cain Slyker who absolutely punished Thomas Pinta for anything he dared to throw at him in this Light-Heavyweight tussle. Over after just 1:25 of Round 1, Cain Slyker destroyed Pinta here with counter head strikes culminating with a counter left hand that left Pinta unconscious as he scored the win with a knockout punch. This was as impressive a performance as I’ve seen in my time at NFC with Cain Slyker mauling Thomas Pinta in hugely impressive style to move to 15-4-0. Like his walk in entrance to this fight said, ‘It’s amazing’ and Slyker has only lost once in seven bouts now. 265: Syltty Tallikone defeats Sianleuka Jack via (T) KO after 1:27 of Round 1. 185: Kalle Reinikainen defeats Kalle Kinkeri via (T) KO (Strikes) after just 0:34 of Round 1. 265: Luola Mies defeats Lou Cifer Jr via (T) KO (Strikes) at 1:08 of Round 1. 205: Mega Fredriksson gets the win over Mikko Tysooni due to (T) KO cut at 4:56 of Round 3. 170: Quizz Al Fazz gains a Unanimous Decision win over Harri Sirkkeli at Welterweight. 155: Frank Andersson defeats Sami Salama via Decision (Unanimous) in the Lightweight opener.

vahti Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1302896966poster88.jpg NFC 88 Itaniemi vs Xin Preview 205: Main Event: Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi (22-5-0) v "Caveman" Ming Xin (21-5-0) The Main Event of the Evening is yet another explosive encounter as only NFC seems to be able to do on a regular basis with "Caveman" Ming Xin searching for the gold as he takes on Light-Heavyweight Champion Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi on Saturday night. Both these men have over 53 professional fights between them and there is nothing that either of these fighters have, that the other hasn’t seen before. Essentially this fight can be broken down into the grappler faces striker matchup because with Exceptional Wrestling and highly dangerous Brown grade BJJ “Caveman” Ming Xin has taken down 12 twelve submission wins thus far to do, along with six decision wins largely due to his Exceptional ground game. "Caveman" Ming Xin does have Sensational Boxing and Remarkable Muay Thai, however these are more so for defensive and counter techniques rather than being over efficient offensive techniques because you have to believe that “Caveman” will want to take this to the mat, especially saying that grappling would appear to be the Champions weakest area. Take into consideration that the Challenger will be shooting in for a takedown against a fighter that is much taller than himself, and that can be a help, and a big hindrance to Ming Xin because the Champion Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi with his Sensational Boxing and Remarkable Muay Thai – Holds a record of 22 wins, with 18 of those via (T)KO and that is very dangerous news for the Challenger who doesn’t want to keep this fight standing too long to be honest against a man as devastating as "FinnFury". Itaniemi has shown he is susceptible to submissions, however that was a long time ago and you have to wonder that if “FinnFury” plays this one smart and doesn’t take too many risks early on in an attempt to dodge the takedown just how long that Ming Xin can hang with the Champion? I think that the Champion is on a real rich vein of form, with his last three fights all being finished due to his striking this doesn’t bode well for Ming Xin who will really need to get this one to the mat, or close the distance and clinch this one up. The tactics of “Caveman” Ming Xin will decide how this bout goes – Because as every fight starts standing up, its advantage Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi. 265+: Co Main Event: "KO-Artist" Nyrkki Sankari (10-2-0) v Boris "Angry Fist" Metusalem (14-6-0) Having lost his Super-Heavyweight title last time out, "KO-Artist" Nyrkki Sankari got a taste of his own medicine when he was finished via strikes and we wonder what his mind-set will be in this one come fight night. But with ten wins, all via nasty (T)KO, all bar one in Round 1 Nyrkki Sankari was the former Super Heavyweight ranked number one in the world and this man will be desperate to get back into a position where he try and reclaim that title he lost. With Wonderful Boxing and Superb Muay Thai, "KO-Artist" does exactly what he says on the tin, but he also is a decent level grappler, with Superb Wrestling and Purple grade BJJ. And the latter might just come in handy because Boris "Angry Fist" Metusalem has now lost two in a row via (T)KO and I don’t think that Nyrkki Sankari is the type of fighter Metusalem wants to face right now. With Remarkable Wrestling and Purple grade BJJ I wonder if "Angry Fist" might well try and turn this into a grappling match? But, that being said, Boris "Angry Fist" Metusalem is a former NFC Champion, with Wonderful Boxing and 11 of his 14 career wins via (T)KO he knows how to finish, he’s a striker at heart and what better way to get back on track than a big finish over a better ranked opponent? I don’t think this fight will be the brawl it could have been, both these men are coming off (T)KO losses and I will be intrigued to see the tactics that both men come to the cage with – and this could well decide who takes this one. The Co Main Event is going to be a real war and the winner will be in prime position for a shot at the Super-Heavyweight title, let’s hope I am wrong and these guys come out to take each other’s heads off. 205: Calico Jack (14-1-0) v Eric "88" Lindros (7-1-0) With one loss in fourteen fights, Calico Jack, a Wonderful Boxer and Superb Wrestler looks like he’s come to the end of the road, with rumours swirling of his impending retirement following a split with his management team – We wonder how that will affect a man who is seriously hard to beat at Light-Heavyweight. With 10 of his 14 fights ending via (T)KO this man has the power to end fights, there is no question in that and Saturday night might just come down to how much he’s got left in the tank. Across the cage he faces his polar opposite as the only way seems to be up for fast rising superstar Eric Lindros, with seven wins, all via nasty (T)KO, with the majority of those in Round 1 this Exceptional Boxer and Remarkable Muay Thai striker will welcome getting himself into a fight with a fellow stand up fighter. "88" also boasts a superior ground game and he looks to be the winner on paper in this one, but Lindros’ last fight was his first defeat – will that bear any impact on this bout? Both men will go to what they know here I believe, that will be good for us fans as these two will stand and bang it out and for me, the big question is – Does Calico Jack still want this? Because Eric Lindros is most likely going to want to burst out of the blocks and test his resolve early on as he surely has had the rumours. 170: Felix Flashlighter (19-8-0) v "The Rad Russian" Eric Cartman (13-3-0) The NFC Welterweight title is on the line in this one as reigning Champion, Felix Flashlighter defends his title once again, along with this impressive six fight win streak he’s on against "The Rad Russian" Eric Cartman himself on a win streak of four. Eric Cartman is making his first appearance in NFC following his move from sister organisation, Fire FC. With Remarkable striking, in the form of his Boxing and Muay Thai and with 7 of 13 wins via (T)KO Eric Cartman will know he’s a big underdog here, but what he does have going for him is the fact that he is something of a decision master himself – something that Felix Flashlighter has become synonymous for, and can this become a pertinent point as this fight plays out? “Finishing fights is for those who don't like to fight. I'm not stopping until the clock forces me to” are the words that Felix Flashlighter loves to spurt out, and with six straight decision wins, this is a man who knows how to grind out a win and that does not bode well for “The Rad Russian”. Flashlighter’s Exceptional striking gives him the edge in this one for sure, and with everything else being equal on paper, for Eric Cartman to pull out a win here – Will take a seriously good game plan, something which will be especially hard against a man who makes decision victories his trademark. 170: Shawn Kronburger (12-2-0) v Esko Takanen (18-8-2) 155: Mikko "Kikkeli" Koskinen (11-3-0) v Seppo "Suppo" Taalasmaa (18-7-0) 185: Lasair Ceasaigh (13-7-0) v Mike The Meth Addict (12-7-0) 265: Henry "Paalu" Saari (7-3-0) v "Raju" Pertti Rauta (12-8-0) 170: "The Shrink" Will Power (7-2-1) v Martti Aho (12-10-0) 265+: Erling Mathias Havna (9-6-0) v Artturi "Aiv" Virtanen (11-8-0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahti Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1302896966poster88.jpg Post event - NFC 88 Itaniemi vs Xin 205: Main Event: Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi v "Caveman" Ming Xin "Caveman" Ming Xin becomes the New Light-Heavyweight Champion of NFC as he manages to make Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi spend most of the five rounds here on his back and managed to take a razor thin majority decision win which gained him the title. It wasn’t pretty, but it was effective however "FinnFury" is likely to be just that as he knew what was coming, he just couldn’t do anything to halt the relentless takedowns that came his way during the course of the bout as “Caveman” never even thought about deviating from his game plan. Round 1 started off promisingly for the Champion as he frustrated Ming Xin, blocking all his takedown attempts and punishing him at the same time however this was as good as it got for the now Ex-Champion as Ming Xin made him spend every Round after that, possibly bar late Round 3 on his back which in the eyes of two of the three judges was good enough to take the title. I thought this decision a little strange, since earlier in the evening Eric Cartman had done more than Ming Xin, yet it was Xin who took home a title whilst Cartman got stuck with a draw – Something which this fight, at the time I thought was destined for. Ming Xin was pretty aggressive on the mat in fairness, he did go for the finish and I think that might just have got him over the finish line here, not that he’ll care – He’s got the belt and he is out of town with it as he managed to make his game plan work despite all in attendance knowing that he was going to try and do. If you ask Urho Itaniemi I suspect he’ll be more upset at being taken down so much, rather than losing the belt – Truthfuly, I don’t think he did enough to keep a hold of his belt and that will eat him up because Ming Xin only had one thing on his mind in this fight. However Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi now moves on to face Eric "88" Lindros knowing that if he picks up the win there – He’ll most likely be in prime position to right this one. We await news of “Caveman’s” first defence. 265+: Co Main Event: "KO-Artist" Nyrkki Sankari v Boris "Angry Fist" Metusalem Bursting straight out of the blocks was Boris "Angry Fist" Metusalem here, closing the distance immediately and getting this fight into the clinch, not allowing Nyrkki Sankari any space whatsoever as the Co Main Event of the Evening came to life immediately. However "KO-Artist" Nyrkki Sankari knew what was coming and looked prepared as he brushed off the clinch and punished the aggression of Metusalem by cutting him wide open with a head kick. Only for “Angry Fist” to come driving back again and forcing the clinch, where yet again Sankari was able to slip out of the position – this time punishing him with another head kick that sent him to the mat. You sensed that Metusalem was out of ideas as he couldn’t make the clinch stick and as Nyrkki Sankari began to stalk the clearly hurt challenger he finished this one with a straight left but the damage was most definitely done physically with the head kick, and mentally brushing off the clinch with ease. This was a dominant win from "KO-Artist" Nyrkki Sankari and against a very legitimate challenge to see him improve to 11-2-0 and he’ll have one eye on that Super-Heavyweight title fight between Iiro Tolonen and Hemmo "Butcher" Kalske you feel now. 205: Calico Jack v Eric "88" Lindros Eric Lindros and Calico Jack went the distance at Light-Heavyweight here in a hugely entertaining stand up bout, but there was only ever one winner as Eric Lindros took down the decision win mixing up some kicks with his much more accurate striking and this is effectively gave him the win. We could see after the fight that both men weren’t that far away from each other in terms of strikes thrown thanks to the fight statistics, however it was “88” who managed to connect more and that statistic alone gained him the win as these two men came to strike each other out. Calico Jack was cut late on in the final round as well just to add some aesthetical decoration but by that stage everyone knew that Lindros had done enough to get his win and move to 8-1-0 with it. 170: Felix Flashlighter v "The Rad Russian" Eric Cartman Felix Flashlighter was supposed to defend his Welterweight title here in relatively easy fashion, it didn’t quite work out that way however as this one went the distance and the Champion got the fright of a lifetime from the Challenger, "The Rad Russian" Eric Cartman as this one ended in a draw. And if you were forced to pick who had the better of this one I doubt many would disagree with Eric Cartman as the answer as he mixed it up with the Champion, landing more leg kicks of his own than the Champion did – Which was clearly part of Flashlighter’s game plan. Cartman took down Flashlighter numerous times during the course of the five rounds and had he been a bit more clinical when he gained top position I think we could have a new Welterweight Champion because in my estimation, Flashlighter got out of jail big time in this bout as the plucky Challenger took 4 of 5 rounds in my opinion. I think what saved the Champion here was the fact that when he was took down, he didn’t really take any punishment from an area that Eric Cartman was heralded to have the advantage from. Will we see these two go at it again? I suspect we might just; Cartman will have to make very minor changes you feel to take this belt. 170: Shawn Kronburger v Esko Takanen This Welterweight bout went to the judges after three rounds of impressive stand up boxing action; Shawn Kronburger was eventually declared the winner via Split Decision where the controversy here was over Round 2. One judge scored it for Takanen, the other two scored it for Kronburger, it was obviously that Takanen was the one trying to be the more aggressive, but he was eating counter punches and this one seemed to come down to the fact that two of the three judges scored with offence landed rather than taking into perspective which fighter was trying to take the fight to the other. In retrospect though, Kronburger was the much busier fighter, throwing and scoring with more of his punches and this was basically the difference between these men here in the eyes of the judges. 155: Mikko "Kikkeli" Koskinen v Seppo "Suppo" Taalasmaa Seppo Taalasmaa took down this bout via unanimous decision due to his effective takedowns and activity when on the mat. Koskinen had a real problem trying to keep this one standing and that was where this fight was won and lost as Seppo "Suppo" Taalasmaa was more than happy to work over his opponent from top position without being overly brutal, just doing enough to keep the referee happy and not expending too much energy. This was an effective tactic for “Suppo” who takes a relatively easy win here. 185: Lasair Ceasaigh v Mike The Meth Addict Mike The Meth Addict scored a massive KO win here as he quite literally knocked Lasair Ceasaigh senseless in this Middleweight bout. The Meth Addict just stalked his opponent landing at will, sending him to the mat early in Round 1 twice before finishing this one against a defenceless Ceasaigh. This was a spectacular finish and one that Mike The Meth Addict is unlikely to forget as it might just have been his most impressive NFC performance yet. The winner after 1:55 of Round 1 due to KO was The Meth Addict who improved to 13-7-0. 265: Henry "Paalu" Saari v "Raju" Pertti Rauta What was started in Round 1 for Henry "Paalu" Saari was finished in Round 2 as Pertti Rauta brutalised his face and sliced it up that much that this fight was halted by the doctor at 0:40 of Round 2 with Rauta claiming the (T)KO win via cuts sustained to Saari. "Raju" has some serious Muay Thai striking and I was very impressed with his ability to find the target in this one. 170: "The Shrink" Will Power v Martti Aho Will Power absolutely mauled Martti Aho in this one, it went the distance but there was only ever one winner as “The Shrink” dominated Aho with his striking, and particularly his energy sapping and damaging clinch game. Power rarely missed with any offence during the course of this bout which was quite incredible as he ‘Powered’ his way to an improved 8-2-1 overall record with this win. 265+: Erling Mathias Havna v Artturi "Aiv" Virtanen It took just 26 seconds here for Erling Mathias Havna to pick up a hugely impressive (T)KO win here, Havna swarmed all over Virtanen in this one before the referee had to drag him off – With this win he moves to 10-6-0 in style.

vahti Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1303417553poster89.jpg NFC 89 Kane vs Kullero Preview 205: Main Event: Jigoro "Mollywhop" Kane (26-2-0) v "Hillitön paahtaja" Pasi Kullero (15-0-0) It’s been called ‘The Fight of the Century’, and the Main Event of NFC 89 is destined to go down in history as Jigoro Kane, the number one Light-Heavyweight in the World comes to NFC to try and get the number one pound for pound spot back at the expense of undefeated rising superstar Pasi Kullero . Kane is nothing short of a legend and this 29 year old Canadian has seen and done it all as arguably the most successful fighter in history, his Elite Boxing and Sensational Muay Thai is absolutely fearsome and he has scored 17 of his 26 wins via (T)KO and it goes without saying this man knows how to get it done. Across the cage on Saturday night is "Hillitön paahtaja" Pasi Kullero, with a perfect career record thus far, with fifteen fights, all wins this 23 year old Finn takes on the master here as he looks to use Kane as a springboard to greatness at his relative young age. Kullero can call upon Sensational Boxing and Remarkable Muay Thai as he concedes the advantage in the striking game to Kane on paper. Kullero however is the better grappler with his Exceptional Wrestling game complimented by Brown grade BJJ and the number two Middleweight in the world will surely look to take advantage of this fact. "Hillitön paahtaja" has scored 8 of 15 wins via (T)KO and likes to keep fights standing, one wonders will we see any change from his regular plan as he takes on probably the most feared striker in the world? Kullero will however hold a height and reach advantage in this bout and you have to believe he’ll want to use that in order to keep the power of Kane at bay and this could prove to be a key detail as this fight unfolds. This is no doubt the biggest test of Kullero’s career, and you have to wonder if he will be overawed by the occasion or has it came too early in his short career but you have to admire his desire and hunger to become the undisputed pound for pound number one in the world with this step up in weight. There isn’t much I can say that hasn’t been said already about "Mollywhop", an MMA legend, probably one of the first superstars of the sport he’s done it all – And come fight night he’ll have the weight advantage in his bout and you worry about just how Kullero will react on his debut at 205. This could be another key aspect of this fight as Kane will certainly be the stronger of the two men and since Kullero has been known to clinch up and do some damage, will he be able to control a naturally bigger man? Or indeed will his power transfer effectively at 205? There are quite a lot of variables in this bout and much will come down to the tactics of both men, I think you might well just see Kane however come out and try and assert his dominance early on and bully Kullero, one wonders how the Finn will react if he’s put on the back foot by Jigoro Kane and I’ll be interested to see if that is how this one plays out. I think Jigoro Kane comes into this fight as the favourite – Indeed with his recent spate of decision wins, he is favoured at the moment certainly with the public via this method, interestingly not a lot of people are giving Pasi Kullero a chance which is quite dangerous because this young man has absolutely no pressure on him, or anything to lose whatsoever which surely must make him a nightmare prospect for Kane, not to mention that Kullero has never been rocked and seems to have an iron chin I don’t think he’s the underdog that most of the public thinks. Let’s see if I am right because this one goes down in less than 24 hours, this is sure to be the biggest event in NFC history as they once again are sure to cement their name at the top of the tree worldwide with another blockbuster event. 265: Co Main Event: Mikko Kytta (11-7-0) v Kalle Kujansuu (10-2-0) Coming off a KO loss at NFC 85 Mikko Kytta will be desperate to get back on track here Saturday night as he faces off against Kalle Kujansuu in this Heavyweight bout. That isn’t such a good thought in prospect however, because Kalle Kujansuu with his Exceptional Boxing and Strong Muay Thai has scored 9 of his 10 career wins via (T)KO and he’ll surely look to put some early pressure on Kytta and see how his mindset is after that devastating loss last time out at NFC 85. Mikko Kytta one way or another is never in a boring fight, his last fifteen fights have seen one decision, the fourteen others have been wars settled via KO or (T)KO so we won’t have to worry about his heart for a battle as this Superb Boxer and Remarkable Muay Thai striker comes to get himself in a war and never fails to drag his opponents into the stand-up brawl he loves. He’ll get all he wants from Kujansuu here too as I don’t think this one needs too much analysis, one of these men is getting knocked out and I don’t really think this one will last too long. This Heavyweight bout could be decided in who connects cleanly first and there is no way either of these men will be taking this to the mat – unless one of knocked down due to strikes and that could well happen alright. This one should be a real war and you’ll not want to miss the Co Main Event of NFC 89 as it promises to deliver the ‘Knockout of the Night’ award. 265: Abreham Killyousovizh (17-3-0) v "Painijyrä" Mitchell Stehling (11-4-0) Making his NFC debut, Abreham Killyousovizh previously went nine undefeated before being derailed last time out at the hands of Golden Glory and you have to believe that this Sensational Boxer and Remarkable Muay Thai striker will want to bounce back with a win here at NFC 89. The Ukrainian is very experienced and has 11 of his 17 wins via decision and clearly knows his way around the cage and that might well prove to be his biggest asset in this one. Mitchell Stehling has four straight wins and with 9 of 11 career wins via (T)KO this Sensational Boxer and Wonderful Muay Thai practitioner likes to finish them early, and "Painijyrä" also has Elite Wrestling to boot which he mainly uses to keep fights standing which doesn’t ring well for Killyousovizh who most likely needs to get this fight to the mat or close the distance and grind this one out in order to have any chance of taking down the win. Whilst Mitchell Stehling is the clear favourite in this one, you can never rule out a wily veteran and that is exactly what Abreham Killyousovizh is here. I am very interested to see if Stehling has taken this one seriously, or if he can be caught cold by Killyousovizh if "Painijyrä" has already been looking forward to his next step - Abreham Killyousovizh will relish being the underdog in this one I think. 205: "Master of Torture" Marko Torturo (10-2-0) v Simo Kuassimo (7-1-0) Marko Torturo is probably one of the most talented all round fighters in NFC, with Sensational Boxing, Exceptional Muay Thai not to mention Wonderful Wrestling and Purple grade BJJ this Light-Heavyweight knows how to get the job done with 10 career wins already at just 23 years of age. With 6 wins via (T)KO and 4 via Decision – He is a very well rounded fighter and is able to take the fight anywhere and that is a great asset for this man who has won three on the trot now. Simo Kuassimo is no walkover though, with Sensational Boxing and Muay Thai and only one loss to his name – To Champion Ming Xin - Simo Kuassimo is very much for real and it is rare that Marko Torturo will enter a fight as an underdog, but this might just be one of those occasions here in this Light-Heavyweight contest. "Master of Torture" Marko Torturo is a slightly better grappler on paper, but will he change from his usual game plan of striking and trading at will to compensate for taking on a serious striker? I don’t think that he will however, and you know that Kuassimo will want to stand and trade and this Light-Heavyweight bout has fireworks all over it. This is another superb bout in what promises to be an exceptional night of action. 265: Steen Christensen (9-4-0) v "The Royal Shindig" Nicolai Romanov (12-4-0) 170: Tiao "Nojento" Macale (15-7-1) v Fransico "Muri" Junior (9-4-0) 185: "The Wolverine" Roibos Fredriksson (12-5-1) v Anthony Creaturos (15-7-0) 265: Tony Tauno (5-1-0) v Arne "Paul" Riseman (6-1-1) 185: "Mokushi" Hitsomiru Tamaka (13-3-0) v Mathew Lacey (13-9-0) 155: "First Man" Pithe Canthropus (16-7-1) v Heikki "Super-Hessu" Ramires (10-5-0) The opening bout of NFC 89 is quite an interesting proposition, when you talk about MMA a few names come to mind, Jigoro Kane and Pasi Kullero our headliners tonight for example would be two of the most well-known. However if you’re talking about someone who helped make this sport what it is, and shape the modern game then Pithe Canthropus is the man most people would acknowledge as the first real Mixed Martial Artist and here at NFC 89 this savvy veteran is back in action once more as we just can’t seem to get enough of this man. With a Superb all round game, “First Man” does everything well, and with 10 of his 16 career win’s via Decision this shows us that he is well capable of formulating a plan and executing it accordingly to grind out anyone and this 30 year old from Sangiran, Indonesia is back in Lightweight action yet again. Fresh off a win, Pithe Canthropus gave us a tutorial in ground work as he took down his opponent and basically bullied him for best part of three rounds en route to a decision win and if you leave the door open – he’ll have no problem going right through it. Heikki "Super-Hessu" Ramires stands in the way of “First Man” on Saturday night and this Remarkable Boxer, Exceptional Wrestler and dangerous BJJ Black belt has already promised to take pleasure in destroying the MMA stalwart. The interesting aspect of this bout will be just how will the differences in experience show up, Canthropus has nothing to learn – He helped shape the game, and Ramires will be unable to bring anything he hasn’t seen before which leads me to believe that this fight could well be decided by something as simple as who wants it more – I suspect “First Man” will have no problem whichever direction this fight takes – But I believe he might well rather have it standing as Ramires seems to have a distinct advantage on the mat, certainly on paper anyway despite "First Man" having a very effective top game. Pithe Canthropus will hold the height, weight and reach advantage in this one and that might well help him keep this fight on the outside but you wonder if the old veteran will be able to hang with the young horse here. "Super-Hessu" seems pretty confident coming into this bout, but he knows he hasn’t exactly been on fire recently in his career either – I think this one is going to be a lot closer than Ramires will have us believe, and “First Man” can once again cement his place in folklore here, I anticipate a hell of a fight in any event.

vahti Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1303417553poster89.jpg NFC 89 Kane vs Kullero review. 205: Main Event: Jigoro "Mollywhop" Kane v "Hillitön paahtaja" Pasi Kullero Pasi Kullero claimed a massive scalp as he scored a huge upset win over legend Jigoro Kane in the Main Event of NFC 89, a super display of counter striking along with excellent damage in the clinch was the key to his success here but he had to survive a serious scare in Round 4 as “Mollywhop” rocked him badly with a damaging three punch combination. This was as good as this fight got really for Kane as these men pretty much fought it out on their feet – It briefly went to the mat as the rocked Kullero tried in vain to get out of trouble and regain his senses but Kane uncharacteristically couldn’t capitalise on the one really big opening he had because effectively Pasi Kullero bossed him in this fight. Whilst Pasi Kullero more or less won this fight with his effective clinch game – He also outstruck Kane whilst at distance too and this was really a sensational display from the still undefeated Kullero who now stands at 16-0-0 and the undisputed number one fighter in the world pound for pound. Scarily Kullero is only 23, and far from the finished article, that doesn’t bode well for the rest of the world when this man has still improvements to make. 265: Co Main Event: Mikko Kytta v Kalle Kujansuu Exceptional Boxer Kalle Kujansuu absolutely steamrolled over Mikko Kytta in the Co Main Event, Kujansuu was seriously damaging as he caught Kytta twice to draw blood, before finishing this fight after just 1:17 of Round 1 via (T)KO. Kytta looked to be out of his depth against such a striker as Kujansuu but this was not to take away from the power of Kalle Kujansuu who improves to 11-2-0 with the win, and improves his record to 10 of those via (T)KO. 265: Abreham Killyousovizh v "Painijyrä" Mitchell Stehling Mitchell Stehling put in one of the best performances of his career here in this one, as he dismantled the challenge of Abreham Killyousovizh in this Heavyweight bout. Able to bully Killyousovizh against the cage and into the clinch early in Round 1, Mitchell Stehling brutalised his opponent until he was ready to drop only for the bell to save him at the end of Round 1. Into Round 2 Killyousovizh was still not recovered and was promptly finished by "Painijyrä" just 0:19 into the second round, this was a one sided a bout as you are likely to see but Stehling absolutely blew me away here. 205: "Master of Torture" Marko Torturo v Simo Kuassimo This Light-Heavyweight bout went the distance, and what a fight it was as Marko Torturo and Simo Kuassimo decided that standing at distance and striking wasn’t for them, as these two men got right up, close and personal pretty much spending the best part of three rounds trying to dominate the other in the clinch, perhaps out of some sort of macho game, perhaps because both genuinely were happy for the fight to take this direction. It was a pretty close contest however the judges awarded this one to Simo Kuassimo 28:29. Torturo got the better of the clinch game, however ironically this probably cost him the fight because his aggression was punished by Kuassimo as he was able to break the clinch then, catching the eye of the judges before scoring points at a distance which was effectively how he took this fight down. Simo Kuassimo now stands with a record of 8-1-0 as he awaits news of his next opponent. 265: "The Royal Shindig" Nicolai Romanov gets the (T)KO win over Steen Christensen after 3:03 of Round 2. 170: Tiao "Nojento" Macale is defeated by Fransico "Muri" Junior via Unanimous Decision after they go the distance. 185: "The Wolverine" Roibos Fredriksson gets the Unanimous Decision win over Anthony Creaturos. 265: Arne "Paul" Riseman finishes Tony Tauno with strikes for a (T)KO win after 1:52 of Round 2. 185: "Mokushi" Hitsomiru Tamaka gets the win over Mathew Lacey via Unanimous Decision. 155: Heikki "Super-Hessu" Ramires defeats "First Man" Pithe Canthropus via Round 1 (T)KO (Strikes).

vahti Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1303969712poster90.jpg NFC 90 Vihervaara vs Glory Preview. 265: Main Event: "The Devil" Ernesti Vihervaara (15-1-0) v Golden Glory (11-0-0) Undefeated knockout artist, Golden Glory headlines NFC 90 Saturday night as this Sensational Boxer and Muay Thai striker looks to extend his almost ridiculous record of finishing everyone he’s come across thus far in his career. From Rio De Janeiro, Brazil this is one dangerous man and the number four ranked pound for pound fighter in the world will look to get that one last win, which surely will see him have a crack at the Heavyweight title of NFC. With that goal in sight now, surely he won’t let up? Glory has been out of Round 1 in only two of his bouts thus far, and he’s had finishes by knee’s, cuts and strikes – he is an absolute nightmare to face and you have to wonder is he the best striker in the game today? It would be hard to argue against that but in his way come fight night is "The Devil" Ernesti Vihervaara who himself is no slouch when it comes to trading blows. Boasting similar Sensational Boxing and Muay Thai Vihervaara has 10 of his 15 career wins by way of (T)KO and he’ll have absolutely no fear of taking on the highly rated Golden Glory. "The Devil" is also a much better grappler than Golden Glory and you have to wonder will he want to capitalise on this? Or indeed, can he? In reality though, you have to believe these men are going to want to keep this standing and see who is the better man – Both these men’s striking games are their strongest points, both can finish, and both will really want to get a big win here to power into a title shot as you would surely have to imagine, the winner will be granted. With so much on the line, and knowing these two – This one could be settled fairly quickly and emphatically come Saturday night – Glory will go in the favourite due to his sublime form, but “The Devil” has a chance if he can find his way around the massive reach advantage that Golden Glory will have. The key to this fight is really, can Ernesti Vihervaara figure out a way to get it, hurt Glory and get out without being tagged? This is a riddle nobody as of yet has been able to solve and it adds to the intrigue of this contest I believe. 265+: Co Main Event: Iiro "The Man" Tolonen (18-7-0) v Hemmo "Butcher" Kalske (13-1-0) The Co Main Event of the Evening is for the Super Heavyweight title of NFC as Champion Iiro "The Man" Tolonen defends his title against Hemmo "Butcher" Kalske. Interestingly, “The Man” is coming off a loss and you have to wonder if that will have any bearing on this fight as Tolonen obligated contracts elsewhere and picked up a loss for his troubles. With Exceptional Boxing and Wrestling, and 14 of 18 career wins via (T)KO Iiro "The Man" Tolonen is very much a sprawl and brawl fighter – However that isn’t really doing him justice because this man is a legitimate Brown grade BJJ grappler and also holds Remarkable Muay Thai which makes him a really frightening prospect, especially coming off a loss which will have hurt him. Hemmo "Butcher" Kalske boasts 10 of his 13 wins via (T)KO and with Wonderful Boxing and Exceptional Muay Thai it appears the stage is set for another really stand up war here at NFC 90. Kalske has only lost once, that was a (T)KO loss but since then he’s shown no desire to change his game up indeed he has responded with two straight (T)KO wins of his own and you really have to believe this one is going to be resolved when one is rendered unconscious. With not a great deal between these men physically, this one could come down to tactics and who gets it right on the night – Both these men aren’t very good at getting out of Round 1 and make sure you get the refreshments in before this one kicks off, because when men are this size, and hit that hard – You have to believe this is a real blink and you might miss it one. 185: Sampsa Siloposki (18-6-0) v "Kostaja" Kosti Johannes (20-7-0) An interesting bout here at Middleweight as two extremely experienced and very well rounded fighters square off as Exceptional Boxer and Muay Thai practitioner Sampsa Siloposki, with 12 of 18 wins via (T)KO takes on Kosti Johannes with his Sensational Boxing and ominous record of 14 of 20 wins via (T)KO. Sampsa Siloposki interestingly has only lost once via (T)KO and I think he’ll really want to press the action here in view of that despite "Kostaja" holding superior Boxing to really apply the pressure. Sampsa Siloposki is also the much taller fighter here, meaning he’ll have a reach advantage and you have to believe that he’ll want to use that to his advantage in this fight but with these men having a combined fifty one fights between them, you really have to expect that they’ve both see and done it all. I am really interested to see how these men approach this one and this could be a really good battle for the purists here, it doesn’t hold the explosive appeal of the main events, but this one could well be one of the fights of the night here at NFC 90 between two savvy veterans of the game. 265: "Wagner" Paha SIka (14-4-0) v "The Divine Weapon" Nino Blaze (10-1-0) "The Divine Weapon" Nino Blaze has already declared, ‘Paha SIka, time to sleep’ so the stage is set for this one as Nino Blaze with his Exceptional Boxing and Wonderful Muay Thai and envious record of 8 of 10 wins via (T)KO is primed to take on dual Sensational rank Paha SIka with his superior Boxing and Muay Thai. Neither man is a novice on the mat, but it is fair to say that both of these men’s strengths are standing which should keep the fans happy here. "The Divine Weapon" is the naturally heavier man, but there is nothing between these men in terms of height and reach which should provoke fireworks as both try and tee off on the other first here. Nino Blaze started his career off spectacularly, with eight straight wins via (T)KO or KO, however recently he’s been going the distance and you have to wonder if that is due to a greater influence on tactics, a simple better standard of opponent or perhaps something else as yet unseen? Across the cage, “Wagner” is the more experienced of the two and has went the distance quite a few times in his career – But is the smack talk from “The Divine Weapon” a ploy to provoke Slka, or is there genuine dislike here? How both these men come out for Round 1 here will dictate everything, this one could turn into a real brawl if Blaze has got under the skin of “Wagner” here, you have to believe that’s what he wants the more talented striker to do, lose his composure – then the fight. 265+: "Bat'ka" Alexander Lukashenko (7-1-0) v Milo "Of" Kroton (11-3-0) 155: Santeri Norzu (15-4-0) v Esko "Vaara" Salo (13-6-0) 170: "Warhammer" Terrell Reed (16-4-0) v Maddy Rock (16-6-0) 265: "The Legend Killer" Chuck Gracie (19-12-0) v Optimus "Autobot" Prime (15-9-0) 170: "Tolkuton mullikka" Palkki Niskavuori (10-3-0) v Quizz Al Fazz (14-3-0) 265: Hessu "Tupla-Hoo" Hopo (7-3-0) v Dennis Gavin (8-5-0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahti Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1305306793poster91.jpg NFC 91 Remmi vs Jones Preview. 265: Main Event: Veto "Rotta" Remmi (24-4-1) v Joseph "Huesos" Jones (24-9-1) NFC Heavyweight Champion, Veto Remmi is back in action here headlining the Main Event of NFC 91 as he defends his title against Joseph "Huesos" Jones – This promises to be an intriguing encounter because not only is the Champion fresh off a (T)KO loss to Golden Glory which will be firmly in his mind still, he faces off against Joseph Jones with his well-known Sensational Boxing and Remarkable Muay Thai. The Champion Remmi has never hidden away from a challenge though, and true to his character fresh off that loss he doesn’t take an easy fight to get back on form – instead straight out of the gates to defend his Heavyweight crown. Boasting Wonderful Boxing and Superb Muay Thai the Champion is very much a striker, with the majority of his wins, 15 of 24 are by the way of (T)KO, he has a few submission wins on his résumé also, but these were a long time ago because “Rotta” has firmly established himself since as one of the premier striking Heavyweights in the world. It will be interesting to see if the bout with Golden Glory makes Remmi any less aggressive in this bout because he is facing off against a man, on paper with much superior striking in “Huesos” Jones. Jones also is more experienced than the Champion with an extensive career spanning 34 professional bouts and with only 2 of his 9 losses by way of (T)KO he can probably afford to push the pace more than most due to his solid chin ably backed up by his Sensational Boxing and Remarkable Muay Thai. I think we could see the Challenger explode out of the blocks and try and take this fight early because you have to believe that Remmi will not relish taking on another striker right after what just happened him at NFC 86. Saying that however, the Champion is the Champion, this man knows how to get it done and with more motivation than ever, he’ll certainly be looking to put a few things right in this bout. Both these men have pretty solid chins – That might prove useful because this is going to be a striking bout for sure, Jones might well be the more aggressive in this bout and that could be the key, but Remmi towers over opponents – his massive reach advantage could play a major part in this fight and keep Joseph Jones at bay, you have to believe that Remmi is going to want to use his jab to keep the Challenger at bay – This promises to be a great matchup though, and look for Remmi’s reaction should Jones get through early. 155: Co Main Event: Otso "Spartacus" Jokinen (11-2-0) v "Dinky" Slinky McDougle (14-0-0) NFC Lightweight Champion Otso Jokinen is back in action here tonight against undefeated "Dinky" Slinky McDougle, a representative from Elite Ultimate Fighting Championship in what is a massive super fight at Lightweight here hosted by NFC. "Spartacus" Jokinen boasts a Sensational Boxing and Wrestling game, but we know he likes to keep fights standing and punish – The type of man this guy is was proved in his last bout, he destroyed Santeri Norzu, he had the fight won and just had to take the last seconds easy – But the type of aggressor he is, he kept the heat and got the (T)KO win with just one second left in the last round. Jokinen is the number 3 ranked Lightweight in the world, and this 23 year old has the world at his feet because he’s still improving all the time and he super aggressive – One wonders how he’ll approach this fight however against his near antithesis in Slinky McDougle, a Sensational Wrestler and BJJ Brown belt, McDougle likes to takes fights to the mat and control and dominate his opponents, with 9 of his 14 wins via decision this is a tried and tested tactic for him but you just wonder what he’ll do should he not be able to take down his equal in the Wrestling stakes? Otso "Spartacus" Jokinen is the more explosive of the two, and he does seem to have more paths to victory, the big question for him is – if he indeed is taken down by McDougle, will he be able to work his way out of the position, and will he be able to avoid any damage should he get taken down? I think that if “Dinky” cannot get the takedown he’s in trouble, we all know that Jokinen’s clinch work is one of his strongest attributes so that’s one route to the takedown you feel denied – It is a curious position for McDougle to be in, but perhaps he’ll have something up his sleeve for us? This should be a good fight but you have to believe that Jokinen starts this one as the red hot favourite. 170: Olli "Scourge" Jokinen (20-5-1) v Bill Dance (17-1-0) With 11 wins on the trot, Bill Dance with his Remarkable Boxing and Exceptional Wrestling will look to take another step up the Welterweight ladder here as this man is also ranked 8th in the world at 170 lbs. The Ghanaian has 9 of his 17 wins via (T)KO and the other 8 by way of Decision but there is no doubt that Dance is a grappler, he loves to take fights to the mat where he is very active and he can finish you should you give him the space to move. Dance makes no apologies for his style and its very effective, to compliment his aggressive top position style; Dance also is a holder of the Purple belt in BJJ which is very helpful also for his style of fighting. Across the cage tonight he’ll face off against Olli "Scourge" Jokinen who is vastly experienced and on paper – A much superior fighter to Bill Dance, and we’ll see how that plays itself out during the course of the bout. Boasting Sensational Boxing and Muay Thai Jokinen will most likely want to keep this standing but also with Wonderful Wrestling and Brown grade BJJ he’ll have no problem in going to the mat if needs be. Interestingly this fight pits two men against each other who have more often than not, went the distance in their bouts so that looks to be the most likely scenario for this fight also – The question is, who can assert their will? Dance seems quite one dimensional for the likes of “Scourge” but this is the number 6 rank, Jokinen against the number 8 rank. And don’t write Dance off at all, he can do this – but you feel he’ll need everything to go right for him in order to take home what would be a surprise victory against the multitalented Jokinen. 185: Urpo Nyrkki (16-5-0) v Fuzzy "Care" Bear (15-4-0) This Middleweight bout doesn’t really need much analysis, we have two very gifted strikers in Urpo Nyrkki and Fuzzy Bear, with both of these men holding decent – but unspectacular grappling, I expect this one to be fought out from standing position and that should result in a pretty entertaining bout here. Fuzzy "Care" Bear has 12 of his 15 wins via (T)KO and this explosive Exceptional Boxer and Muay Thai striker will look to take advantage of his big height advantage in this one, so look for him to keep the distance and try and pick off Urpo Nyrkki. On a streak of four straight wins, Urpo Nyrkki boasts Exceptional Boxing and Wonderful Muay Thai but he is also quite good at planning bouts with 7 of 16 wins via decision he certainly knows his way around the cage and he may well need that experience to think of a way to get around the defences of the naturally bigger Fuzzy Bear here. A lot depends on if Nyrkki can close the distance and land on Bear, who will be happy to keep this one at a distance, if Nyrkki can get himself in and out, he is in with a big chance in this one, however If Bear controls the action and the distance, he’ll also control the fight so Urpo Nyrkki needs to come into this bout armed with a pretty good game plan, which I am sure he will be – This will be a good fight and could well provide us with ‘Fight of the Night’ honours. 185: Ran "Tan" Plan III (10-4-0) v "Kuuma" Kalle Reinikainen (8-1-0) 170: "The Red" Magnus Ahriman (7-1-0) v "master of the universe" He Man (11-3-0) 205: David "Frankenstein" Silva (12-4-0) v Jake "Agent" Orange (11-4-0) 205: Aslan Bagrian (12-8-1) v Randy "The Phoenix" Tyler (11-4-0) 265+: "Relentless" Jenkem Fields (8-2-0) v Aalio "Scarface" Paalio (12-8-0) 205: Mauri Nyrkki (11-8-0) v Sepi Kumpulainen (4-4-0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahti Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1303969712poster90.jpg Post event - NFC 90 Vihervaara vs Glory 265: Main Event: Golden Glory v "The Devil" Ernesti Vihervaara Golden Glory dominated “The Devil” en route to picking up the unanimous decision win here in the Main Event of NFC 90, Golden Glory with his superior striking evident forced Ernesti Vihervaara to try and take this fight to the mat, which he was successful with 6 of 8 attempts – Unfortunately for Vihervaara he was pretty inactive when in top position and indeed rarely could advance his position. He had a great chance in this bout when he took it to the mat with relative ease however he just couldn’t do anything and when the fight eventually got back to trading; Glory was by far the more impressive pretty much dismantling his opponent with a variety of kicks, punches and impressively, some damaging dirty boxing from the clinch. With this win Golden Glory moves to 12-0-0 and also became the number one undisputed Heavyweight in the World. 265+: Co Main Event: Iiro "The Man" Tolonen v Hemmo Kalske From the very start of this fight it was evident that Iiro Tolonen’s counter striking would be problematic for Hemmo Kalske and so it proved as “The Man” was able to really damage his opponent early on with a series of counter strikes to take a lot of the gas out of Kalske’s tank. Kalske was trying more kicks than punches and this strategy was ruthlessly picked apart because after just 3:51 of Round 1 Iiro "The Man" Tolonen had retained his Super Heavyweight title, first Kalske was rocked by a right hook, then “The Man” knew he had this one – applied some pressure from the clinch and wrapped this one up via (T)KO courtesy of some dirty boxing against the cage. This one was relatively easy for “The Man” but he won’t have it so easy next time out as he takes on Nyrkki Sankari, a man who has all eleven of his career wins via (T)KO to date. With the win Tolonen moved to the number two ranked Super Heavyweight in the world and improved his overall record to 19-7-0. 185: "Kostaja" Kosti Johannes v Sampsa Siloposki I predicted there could be fireworks in this bout and so it proved as "Kostaja" Kosti Johannes and Sampsa Siloposki went the distance here in this big Middleweight clash, putting on a hell of a bout for the fans in attendance but there was to be no doubt about who the winner was here as Kosti Johannes completely out struck Siloposki in this one. The fight was standing for the whole three rounds, Sampsa Siloposki tried a few takedowns but was unsuccessful and with a combination of kicks and punches, "Kostaja" was able to pretty much control this fight to the duration with all three judges scoring this fight 27:30 in favour of "Kostaja". Johannes can look forward to a bout now with Ted Dibiase as he looks to further improve and get himself into the running at 185. 265: "Wagner" Paha SIka v "The Divine Weapon" Nino Blaze Nino Blaze came into this fight on the back of a pretty good run of form, with his Exceptional Boxing and Wonderful Muay Thai really coming to the fore – However we saw very little of either of these here in this bout as "The Divine Weapon" was completely shut out here in this Heavyweight clash. It went the distance, but again it was a case of rendering the judges redundant here because Paha SIka owned this fight from start to finish, with a devastating array of kicks to the body, legs and head to the fore keeping the distance, and then being able to use his Sensational Boxing to create space once Blaze had got too close for comfort. This was a pretty confident and impressive performance from “Wagner” who improves his record to 15-4-0 with the win and books himself into a bout next against Kalle Kujansuu who is on a two fight win streak, a win for “Wagner” in that one will most likely propel him into the mix. 265+: Alexander Lukashenko defeated Milo Kroton after just 2:11 of Round 1 via (T)KO (Strikes). 155: Santeri Norzu decisioned Esko Salo in their clash at Lightweight. 170: Maddy Rock took home the Majority Decision win against Terrell Reed as these two Welterweights went the distance. 265: Chuck Gracie and Optimus Prime went the distance, but Prime took home the Decision win. 170: Palkki Niskavuori was the victor over Quizz Al Fazz as the judges gave him the Unanimous Decision win. 265: Hessu Hopo kicked off the night with a Decision win over Dennis Gavin.

vahti Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1305306793poster91.jpg Post event - NFC 91 Remmi vs Jones 265: Main Event: Veto "Rotta" Remmi v Joseph "Huesos" Jones Joseph Jones started off the Main Event in style, taking down Round 1 in the eyes of many in attendance, however it was to be as good as things got for him in this bout as Veto "Rotta" Remmi retained his Heavyweight title here at NFC 91. Remmi was extremely accurate in this fight, landing a very large amount of punches to the head which really was the platform for his victory, making Jones loosen up his stance before “Rotta” changed up levels and took down Jones and finished him after 4:02 of Round 3 via (T)KO after some serious ground and pound. Jones was really unable to land a series of successive strikes on the Champion as Remmi proved very elusive in this highly entertaining clash, it was evident Jones suffered from a lack of Plan B which Remmi had – as proven by his method of victory. Another big win for the Champion however who now stands with a dominant record of 25-4-1, "Painijyrä" Mitchell Stehling is next in line for Remmi and with Stehling having serious power, Remmi might be looking to implement a similar game plan in that one as it promises to be a massive bout for both men. 155: Co Main Event: "Dinky" Slinky McDougle v Otso "Spartacus" Jokinen This one is open to interpretation, it could be considered controversial, you really have to have seen it to make up your own mind but Slinky McDougle remains undefeated and stands with a perfect career record of 15-0-0 right now after taking home what must have been a razor close 47:48 Decision win here in the Co Main Event of NFC 91. Both men had the same game plan – get this to the mat and work out who is the better grappler, and both were very successful in taking the other down during the course of the bout – What was surprising however is that once one had the dominant position, it appeared neither was overly aggressive – or should that be clinical because of fear of being reversed or rolling themselves into a submission. Jokinen attempted at least some half-hearted stand up, throwing out some kicks and punches – McDougle had no interest in that, he attempted 15 takedowns during the course of the bout, scoring with 10 of them and that most likely took him down this fight whereas Jokinen was successful with 2 of his 3 and from a purely atheistically point of view – McDougle on top position was more often than vice versa which most likely prompted the judges to award him this fight. I would imagine that Jokinen would like another shot at “Dinky” but it remains to be seen if that can be worked out as McDougle moves himself up the number 2 rank worldwide at Lightweight with the huge win. 170: Bill Dance v Olli "Scourge" Jokinen Olli Jokinen was taken to win this fight due to his Sensational striking, however he couldn’t keep this fight standing long enough to take it down because Bill Dance was absolutely relentless in his takedowns – It wasn’t pretty but Dance did what he had to do to get the win and will have no qualms about implementing a similar game plan again because it was an outstanding success here in this bout which had so much on the line. Jokinen was only able to connect with 12 strikes in three rounds, while Dance added his own argument for the grappler versus striker debate with a complete shut out over a much more experienced and fancied opponent. This was probably the best performance of Dance’s career who now moves to 18-1-0 with the win here and gets himself a Welterweight title shot in the process against Felix Flashlighter, Bill Dance goes into that fight ranked the number two Welterweight in the world and that promises to be a hell of fight, Flashlighter knows what Dance is going to do, but can you stop it? 185: Fuzzy "Care" Bear v Urpo Nyrkki A controversial one here, usually when a fight is called to a halt because of cuts incurred, one fighter is dominating the other, that was not the case here as Fuzzy "Care" Bear and Urpo Nyrkki could only really be separated by the success rate of formers leg kicks at the time the fight was stopped. Picking up the (T)KO win, Fuzzy "Care" Bear wasn’t exactly bossing the bout however he probably would have taken the second round had it not been stopped strangely with just two seconds left, it was a good counter striking performance from Bear who took down the (T)KO win after 4:58 of Round 2 – Causing further fury in Urpo Nyrkki’s camp post fight, you would have thought that they should have let him get to go to the final round but Bear will not care one bit as he takes down the win. The loss snapped the four fight win streak Nyrkki was on, and you have to wonder – Will we see this one again at some point in the near future? 185: "Kuuma" Kalle Reinikainen viciously finished Ran "Tan" Plan III via KO (Knee) in Round 1 of their Middleweight clash. 170: He Man picked up a decision win over "The Red" Magnus Ahriman. 205: Highlight reel stuff from Jake Orange as he defeated David Silva with a Flying Knee in Round 1. 205: Aslan Bagrian finishes Randy Tyler after 3:05 of Round 1 via (T)KO (Strikes). 265+: Jenkem Fields takes home a (T)KO win as he forced his fight with Aalio Paalio to be stopped due to cuts suffered. 205: Sepi Kumpulainen finishes Mauri Nyrkki with just one second left in Round 1 of their Light-Heavyweight clash in the opener of NFC 91.

vahti Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 NFC 92 Itaniemi vs Lindros Preview. 205: Main Event: Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi (22-6-0) v Eric "88" Lindros (8-1-0) Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi is just coming off a loss for the Light-Heavyweight Championship of NFC and everyone in the organisation has their eyes on him tonight as he once again takes centre stage in the Main Event of NFC 92 as he takes on Eric "88" Lindros in what promises to be a superb fight. With 18 of his 22 career wins via (T)KO Sensational Boxer and Remarkable Muay Thai striker, "FinnFury" will surely want to keep this one standing and try to get back on track, with his last four wins all via his striking there is no doubt this is where Itaniemi is most comfortable and if he is allowed to express himself this could be rather a short night for Eric Lindros who surely will have concocted a plan for this come fight night knowing just how dangerous Itaniemi is, however, that is not to say that “88” is a novice with his own Exceptional Boxing and Remarkable Muay Thai being responsible for 7 of his 8 career wins being via (T)KO. There is no doubt both men will want to keep this fight standing and with absolutely minimal physical difference, this fight will be won and lost on the tactics board pre fight – How both men come out in this bout will have a large bearing on how this one plays out but you have to think that the huge experience advantage that "FinnFury" will have some bearing on this fight, already he is a seasoned veteran and with Finnish bragging rights up for grabs here I expect both these men to really go for it and this one looks to an exceptional contest in prospect. I think that Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi is the heavy favourite here in this one, however Eric "88" Lindros has absolutely nothing to lose which makes him a dangerous and tricky prospect. 265: Co Main Event: Grigori Lebedev (10-0-0) v Ludvig "Biffen" Landersson (13-4-0) Grigori Lebedev holds a perfect professional record, with no blemishes and ten straight wins this Exceptional Boxer and Remarkable Wrestler is a tricky one to work out, with 5 of the 10 wins via (T)KO, he also holds victories via Submission and Decision so already this young Russian truly is a real Mixed Martial Artist and looks to be well versed in every aspect of the game. Lebedev is a huge Heavyweight, he has to cut to make the 265 and at 200cm in height, he holds a massive reach advantage on anyone really he steps into the cage with – Which is the case come fight night against Ludvig "Biffen" Landersson. On paper Landersson looks to be the most difficult opponent that Lebedev has faced yet, he is equally as talented in the Boxing game, but with superior Muay Thai, Wrestling and BJJ but you have to wonder if he can navigate his way around the reach advantage that Grigori Lebedev which really will be the key to this fight. Landersson is a heavy hitter – with 10 of 13 career wins coming by way of (T)KO, he likes to stand and trade, but he has also shown he can be finished via strikes – no more so than his two title shots against his nemesis and 265 Champion, Veto Remmi. A lot of this fight will be decided by the tactics of “Biffen”, if he decides to keep true to himself and trade, will he be able to get in and out without being caught by Lebedev? This one has the potential to be a classic and also, this could well be the making of Grigori Lebedev as a win here will surely put him right in the middle of the title mix. 265: Shane Grebovski (12-2-0) v Syltty "Orhi" Tallikone (17-7-0) Shane Grebovski is often touted as having the best Boxing in NFC, with his Elite level game he is a real force at Heavyweight as he looks to continue his undefeated streak in NFC here on Saturday night. Interestingly Shane Grebovski is another massively tall Heavyweight at 199cm, which leaves him susceptible to takedowns – but he also has some decent grappling of his own owing to his Wonderful Wrestling and Brown grade BJJ and is no stranger in taking a fight to the mat and you wonder if this is an avenue that he’ll explore in this one as he takes on an inferior grappler here in Syltty "Orhi" Tallikone. "Orhi" is a Sensational Boxer and Remarkable Muay Thai kick boxer and with two straight wins via strikes and a head kick highlight reel that sums up pretty much what this man is all about. Actually Tallikone is the taller fighter here negligibly, so I don’t expect that to be much of a factor in the striking game however it might well prompt Grebovski to try and take this to the mat where he would have a clear advantage, look out for that as this fight progresses and I think this could well be a cagey affair between two men with very little talent wise between them and share a wealth of experience equally. 185: Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr (12-4-0) v Djordje "Karadjordje" Petrovic (15-4-0) This Middleweight bout promises to be an entertaining affair as the vastly experienced Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr and Djordje "Karadjordje" Petrovic clash here at NFC 91. Both men rely on their striking to get them through bouts and with Ingi Jr displaying Sensational Boxing with Superb Muay Thai to the Exceptional Boxing and equally Superb Muay Thai of Petrovic there is going to be very little between these men as they look to assert their dominance on Saturday night. Both men are coming off losses which I think could lead to a cagey affair to start off with, but Petrovic will have a big reach advantage in this one and you have to wonder if Ingi Jr will leave himself open as he attempts to get inside and hurt Petrovic and I suspect he will take the risk to get inside. With neither of these men losing before by way of strikes – I think both will really go for it later on in the bout as they don’t think their chins will betray them, and that could well lead to fireworks. This one as a three round brawl all over it – unless Petrovic can control the distance and try and outwork Ingi Jr, which you feel he surely will try. 185: "Roar!" Alfa Uros (9-1-0) v Mike The Meth Addict (13-7-0) 265: Richard "The Shaman" Simmons (8-0-0) v "Neandertalilainen" Luola Mies (13-7-0) 155: Valdemar "Mora" Friman (14-7-0) v Frank Andersson (5-1-0) 155: Mark "Man of science" Spencer (4-0-0) v Rolf Thorkildsen (13-8-0) 155: Jack "The Surreal Killer" Ripper (11-5-0) v Vesku Torni (11-10-0) 155: Sami "Syke" Salama (10-5-0) v Raimo "Timantti" Tikkari (7-9-0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahti Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Post event - NFC 92 Itaniemi vs Lindros 205: Main Event: Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi v Eric "88" Lindros The Main Event of the Evening was the war we expected, however it proved to be relatively one sided as Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi controlled the action in Round 1 with some effective clinch work that Eric Lindros had no real answer for, whilst the action in the clinch was less than aggressive – Itaniemi wore down Lindros using his body weight combined with some well-timed shots, mostly to the head it was still effective as Lindros looked pretty much spent as Round 1 came to an end which was very surprising to me. Coming into Round 2 Lindros looked to be the more aggressive, however Itaniemi read his intentions being the experienced veteran he is and was quickly able to adjust and begin to land some counter shots which in turn was forcing Lindros to hesitate and begin to swing and miss. The action wasn’t to last much longer however as “FinnFury” rocked Eric Lindros with an innocuous enough looking jab but it was the culmination of shots I suspect, with Lindros on wobbly legs, and the power of Itaniemi beginning to find a way through regularly, it was only a matter of time and so it proved as Itaniemi ended this fight with a jab, straight right combination highlight reel finish. This was a real statement of intent by Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi, it was a devastating finish after 1:21 of Round 2. As a reward for his exploits here, Itaniemi has the pleasure of welcoming highly rated new NFC signing Simon Adebisi who will provide an altogether different prospect, with his highly renowned submission game. That fight goes down at an as yet, unannounced NFC event. It promises to be a great encounter, not to be missed. 265: Co Main Event: Grigori Lebedev v Ludvig "Biffen" Landersson Coming into this fight with an undefeated record and a record of finishing men quickly in Round 1 much was expected of Grigori Lebedev coming into the Co Main Event of the Evening, and things started out much like we expected as this explosive youngster immediately cut open his more experienced opponent "Biffen" Landersson. However, perhaps taking his eye off the ball – Lebedev tried to walk into a clinch and was caught with a serious uppercut which caught him by surprise and returned the favour in drawing blood. The blood seemed to annoy both fighters, because they looked the game plans just went out the window as they went right after each other, Lebedev was looking for the head of Landersson, however showing his experience Landersson was throwing in some nasty leg kicks at the lead leg of his more aggressive opponent. With Lebedev going for blood, it was Laundersson who managed to connect with another counter drawing blood yet again from Lebedev, and again with another counter to really put Lebedev in trouble with blood pouring down his face. To his credit, he kept coming forward but Landersson was picking him off at ease, and with Lebedev not adjusting his game and still charging forward, this fight was called to a halt after Ludvig Landersson caught him yet again on that horrible cut that was drawing winces from the crowd on the big screen. This fight was halted at 4:05 in Round 1 with Ludvig "Biffen" Landersson being awarded the (T)KO finish by the ringside doctor. Lebedev will learn from this, he just didn’t adapt his game plan, but this is a massive win for “Biffen” and surely must put him right up the rankings accordingly. 265: Syltty "Orhi" Tallikone v Shane Grebovski Oh dear, Shane Grebovski controlled this fight – He was out scoring Syltty "Orhi" Tallikone easily with his aggressive stance and connecting with some dangerous leg kicks combined with some shots to the head of “Orhi”, then he secured a takedown and with the Wrestler being on his back you felt that this was a great position for Grebovski, he however decided to stand up – And whilst he landed another few shots when the fight was stood up, it was soon to brutally finish for him as Syltty "Orhi" Tallikone suddenly woke up landing a lovely combination that sent Shane Grebovski crashing to the mat, immediately Tallikone was all over Grebovski and finished him off seconds later with some ground and pound to the helpless Grebovski. He’ll wonder what the hell happened in this fight because this fight was over in the blink of an eye despite him being the more effective fighter. Winner after 4:05 of Round 1 and with some serious power was Syltty "Orhi" Tallikone who can thank his Sensational Boxing here for him improving to 18-7-0. You wonder if you might see these two go at it again sometime down the line but for now, "Orhi" takes the glory with a devastating finish from nowhere. 185: Djordje "Karadjordje" Petrovic v Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr Before this fight I wondered just how much Djordje "Karadjordje" Petrovic’s reach advantage would impact on this fight, the answer was a resounding, not very much as Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr dominated this one before taking down the 27:30 unanimous decision win. Ingi Jr managed to out strike his taller opponent here with a good combination of kicks and punches that were well mixed up to really cause Petrovic’s long limbs to be a disadvantage rather that the opposite, which it really should have been. To compound his misery, "Karadjordje" Petrovic was also taken down and worked over for the best part of Round 2 which ment coming into the final round, Ingi Jr could employ the counter tactic than Petrovic had himself tried to use at the start of this fight. It was a really impressive win here for Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr, I had my doubts if he could do it, but he proved me wrong in embarrassing fashion as he moves to 13-4-0 with this big win. There is nothing on the horizon just yet for this Middleweight, however he’ll want to keep this good form going, and maybe he’ll lobby for that rematch with Urpo Nyrkki which was controversially given to the fore mentioned on contentious, split decision. 185: Mike The Meth Addict gained a Round 3 (T)KO victory over Alfa Uros. 265: Richard Simmons and Luola Mies went the distance here, with the former picking up the unanimous decision victory. 155: Frank Anderson wins this battle at Lightweight with a convincing Round 1 (T)KO of Valdemar Friman. 155: Mark Spencer took just 42 seconds to submit Rolf Thorkildsen with a Guillotine choke in their Lightweight bout. 155: Vesku Torni and Jack Ripper fought to a decision in this Lightweight bout, with Vesku Torni getting the unanimous nod from the judges. 155: Raimo Tikkari defeated Sami Salama in our Opening bout, this fight went the distance but the judges declared Tikkari the unanimous decision victor.

vahti Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1306263197poster93.jpg Post event - NFC 93 Xin vs Kane 205: Main Event: Jigoro "Mollywhop" Kane v "Caveman" Ming Xin Was Jigoro "Mollywhop" Kane ever going to lose two on the trot? The number one Light-Heavyweight in the world was never in danger of losing this bout here at NFC 93 as he left Ming Xin with no other choice but to stand and trade with him after stuffing 11 of 13 takedown attempts during the course of this bout and made him pay with a variety of offence including his extremely effective punches to the head which around 50% of which landed during the course of the bout. "Caveman" wasn’t completely outclassed, however his growing desperation in being unable to get this fight to the mat was evident and Kane began to pick him off round by round culminating in all judges awarding Kane the unanimous decision win. Whilst they were split of their scoring of the bout, they all agreed that Kane won every round leaving Ming Xin with some serious soul searching to do about his lack of cutting edge stand up. As for Kane, he’s back on top of the pile worldwide at Light-Heavyweight and whatever he does next, you know is going to draw the attention of the world. Who will Kane face off against next? Will he lobby for a rematch with Kullero? 265+: "Bat'ka" Alexander Lukashenko v Masaru "The" Midget Well it was coming right from the start of this bout, and eventually after 1:40 of Round 3 "Bat'ka" Alexander Lukashenko finally put away the extremely durable Masaru "The" Midget. Lukashenko basically beat up upon his opponent here in this Super Heavyweight bout, he dominated Midget and especially in the clinch proved to be ultra-effective working over his helpless opponent with a multitude of head and body shots and really wore down Midget. Alexander Lukashenko is one nasty man and what was interesting about this fight is just how dangerous he was, in every aspect of striking as he put in a superb performance here to get the finish in the Co Main Event of NFC 93. "Bat'ka" Alexander Lukashenko moves to 9-1-0 with the win putting away a more experienced opponent and continues his impressive record, of finishing every fight he’s won thus far in his career. This man will prove to be a contender at some point in the Super Heavyweight division, if he isn’t already in the thoughts of the matchmakers at NFC. 170: "The Rad Russian" Eric Cartman v Shawn Kronburger An interesting bout here, depending on what you look for you could have scored this one either way I suppose but in the end, this one went the distance and the judges gave it to Eric Cartman 30:27. Cartman threw absolutely nothing during the course of three rounds, bar a few leg kicks his only other form of offense was takedowns, which even then he only scored with 2 of 9 attempts. On the other hand Shawn Kronburger tried to take this fight to “The Rad Russian”, he threw a tremendous amount of punches during the course of the bout, admittedly, not all of them were successful but he was the aggressor in this fight. But it would appear that those missed shots, of which there were quite a few proved to be counterproductive as he was deemed to have lost all rounds by the judges. I thought this was a strange fight, it certainly wasn’t one of those NFC bouts that will go down in history, to be honest it was instantly forgettable, however you can’t help but feel that Kronberger got a bit of a raw deal from the judges here. 205: Re Christensen v Cain Slyker Re Christensen comes out of the blocks quickly in this Light-Heavyweight bout, swinging and missing a few times which should of registered immediately, however, Cain Slyker gives him absolutely no time to readjust as he ended this bout after just 0:37 of Round 1 with a superb counter right hand that crumpled Christensen before the referee was forced to intervene. This was short and sweet from Slyker and with this massive win he improved to 16-4-0. It has since been announced that Slyker will face off against Thomas Pinta who was also victorious on this card. 205: Thomas Pinta defeats Muskeli Mies via KO after 3:19 of Round 1 in their Light-Heavyweight bout. 185: Roibos Fredriksson gets the (T)KO win over Hans Gruber at 4:04 in Round 1. 185: Joey Silvera and Bumba Motumbo go the distance, with the former taking down the Unanimous Decision win. 265: Sianleuka Jack gets the Decision win over James Dille in their Heavyweight bout. 265: Pertti Rauta succumbs to the Arm Bar submission of Kristof Nikitin in Round 1 after 4:04. 185: Jake Kilmster kicks off NFC 93 in style defeating Bobby Fingers via (T)KO (Strikes) after 4:52 of Round 1.

vahti Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1306263448poster94.jpg NFC 94 Kullero vs Bear Preview 185: Main Event: "Hillitön paahtaja" Pasi Kullero (16-0-0) v Fuzzy "Care" Bear (16-4-0) The Main Event of NFC 94 is for the Middleweight Championship of the World, as undefeated and undisputed number one Middleweight worldwide, Pasi Kullero once again defends his NFC Middleweight title against Fuzzy Bear. This is going to be a huge ask for Fuzzy Bear, despite holding seriously impressive Exceptional Muay Thai and Boxing and with an impressive résumé consisting of 13 of 16 career wins via (T)KO he is coming up against one of the best to ever grace the cage. "Hillitön paahtaja" Pasi Kullero has sixteen straight wins mixed evenly between (T)KO and Decision wins. Boasting Sensational Boxing, Exceptional Wrestling and effective Brown grade BJJ Kullero has seemingly no weakness whatsoever and Fuzzy Bear is going to have to pull something serious out of the bag here to take this one down such is the dominance that Kullero has displayed thus far in his career. One interesting aspect of this fight is the huge reach advantage that Fuzzy Bear will have during this bout, for him to be successful he is going to have to try and keep this fight on the outside and pick off the Champion, which is going to be easier said than done. Can Fuzzy Bear come up with something here to score what would be a massive upset that would shock the world? That remains to be seen however the odds against this are massive, but as I always say, all the pressure is on the Champion here which comes with being such a red hot favourite. Fresh off a win against the legendary Jigoro Kane, it would take a brave man to bet against Kullero here wouldn’t it? 265+: Co Main Event: Iiro "The Man" Tolonen (19-7-0) v "KO-Artist" Nyrkki Sankari (11-2-0) The Co Main Event of the Evening pits Super Heavyweight Champion Iiro "The Man" Tolonen defending his strap against "KO-Artist" Nyrkki Sankari here in what promises to be a superb contest. With 11 career wins, all via (T KO Nyrkki Sankari does what he says on the tin, this man comes to hurt you and with his Wonderful Boxing and Superb Muay Thai he is more than able to back up his words with his hands and this former Super Heavyweight Champion will be relishing the opportunity to get back his title, which he lost at NFC 83 to his opponent tonight, Iiro "The Man" Tolonen. Tolonen took the fight last time with just seconds left in the first round, as he took down Sankari and pounded him out before the bell and one expects he might well follow a similar game plan here on Saturday night, will Sankari be able to stop this? With Exceptional Wrestling and Brown grade BJJ there is no doubt that Tolonen is the better grappler of the two, and the longer this fight goes on the more his chances of winning improve you have to believe – I think that Sankari is going to come out swinging, if he connects he could take this one home – However both men are well versed in how the other fights, this fight favours “The Man” certainly, but just how much Sankari learned in defeat at NFC 83, may well go in his favour here at NFC 94. 185: Ted Dibiase (12-2-0) v "Kostaja" Kosti Johannes (21-7-0) Coming out of two straight (T)KO wins, and fighting with NFC for the first time Ted Dibiase with his Exceptional Boxing and Strong Muay Thai will surely be looking to continue his recent good form and put on a show at the same time to impress on his debut. With all 12 of Ted Dibiase’s wins via violent (T)KO this man is dangerous on his feet, there is no doubt he knows what to do and it will be interesting to see how this man approaches hitting the big time here in this bout. Across the cage however he’ll face a huge test on his debut, against the vastly experienced "Kostaja" Kosti Johannes, who himself boasts 14 of 21 wins via (T)KO but with Exceptional Wrestling and Purple grade BJJ he certainly has the grappling to trouble Dibaise, but "Kostaja" also has Superior Boxing and Muay Thai to the impressive Ted Dibiase. This fight will surely be a big test for Ted Dibiase’s future, how will his power translate to the big leagues? If he is found wanting in that respect this could be a harsh opening in NFC for him. But he’ll come in here as an underdog, which will suit him down to the ground – If he can keep this fight standing, he certainly has a chance and that is the key to this fight. 265: Kalle Kujansuu (11-2-0) v "Wagner" Paha SIka (15-4-0) Kalle Kujansuu comes to the cage with Exceptional Boxing and Strong Muay Thai, not only that, with 10 of his 11 career wins via (T)KO this man is never in a boring fight. He’s certainly one of the most aggressive fighters in NFC and one of the most popular, he’s only been out of Round 1 once in his career, win or loss and he will be intent on getting back on track in the Heavyweight division with a win here to continue his recent good form. Facing "Wagner" Paha SIka here at NFC 94 who boasts a Sensational striking game, this promises to be a real fight for the fans and this one could well come down to who gets through first. But with both men only losing rarely to strikes, I get the feeling that this one could go the distance and descend into a three round brawl. Paha SIka tends to go the distance moreso that the super aggressive Kalle Kujansuu but you have to wonder what kind of tactics he’s going to come up with to counter the threat that faces him come fight night – There is absolutely physically nothing between these men, this fight comes down to tactics and I believe that Kalle Kujansuu comes in the favourite, but "Wagner" will have a big say in this fight no matter what, that’s for sure. This one could well give us the ‘Fight of the Night’ and it’s not to be missed. 170: Felix Flashlighter (19-8-1) v Bill Dance (18-1-0) 265: Neik Hammerlik (14-7-0) v Roddy "Big Time" Bowes (12-8-0) 170: Frekkas Poop (16-4-1) v Fransico "Muri" Junior (10-4-0) 265: Lou Cifer Jr (14-14-0) v Tony Tauno (5-2-0) 170: Harri "Lentävä" Sirkkeli (12-6-0) v Martti Aho (12-11-0) 265+: Artturi "Aiv" Virtanen (11-9-0) v Gigantus Boagrius (4-3-0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahti Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1306263916poster95.jpg NFC 95 Remmi vs Stehling Preview 265: Main Event: Veto "Rotta" Remmi (25-4-1) v "Painijyrä" Mitchell Stehling (13-4-0) Tonight’s Main Event is for the Heavyweight title of NFC, with Champion Veto Remmi now on his ninth defence, indeed getting back on track last time after a loss in a super fight which was in the middle of those defences. With 16 of his 25 wins coming via (T)KO “Rotta” is most dangerous on his feet owning to his Wonderful Boxing and Superb Muay Thai. Like nearly everyone else he faces, “Rotta” will have a big reach advantage in this fight and his physique is much a help to him in the cage as his skillset because he is set up perfectly for his patient and precise striking style which everyone in NFC is yet to figure out. Tonight it is the turn of Mitchell Stehling who is on a streak of six straight wins, all but one of those via early (T)KO. Mitchell Stehling says he’s coming for the title, and with Sensational Boxing and Wonderful Muay Thai – he certainly has better technical striking than the Champion, but will he be able to negotiate those long arms and legs of the Champion to be able to land something substancial? This is the key to the fight for sure, but not only that – The Challenger presents a unique challenge in that he has Elite Wrestling, he has proven he can take anyone down and should he get down the Champion – Which will certainly be his plan, will he be able to finish Remmi? This fight will play out something like Remmi looking to stay on the outside to pick off the Challenger and maybe go for the finish later on, certainly looking to avoid this fight going to the mat early. Mitchell Stehling must be patient and try and pick his moments to shoot – if he goes too early and fails he could gas himself out and Remmi is not a man you want to face knowing you’ve blown out your engine too early. This promises to be an intriguing bout however and one that is not to be missed – I cannot wait to see how this one plays out and Stehling is not the underdog that the bookies have predicted here I feel. Who is right – Have a flutter - http://www.mmatycoon.com/bookmakerpublic.php?bid=4282 155: Co Main Event: Otso "Spartacus" Jokinen (11-3-0) v Santeri Norzu (16-4-0) The Lightweight title is up for grabs in the Co Main Event of the Evening here as Otso Jokinen once again defends his Lightweight strap, this time Santeri Norzu provides the opposition and this is a rematch of the NFC 85 bout in which “Spartacus” dominated and indeed took home a last gasp (T)KO win with quite literally one second left in the bout. What can Norzu do in this bout to change the previous domination? The dynamics of this fight have changed somewhat however as Jokinen is coming off a loss, his first since NFC 62 in November of last year. How will that impact the fight? Norzu is a striker, he boasts Sensational Boxing and Exceptional Muay Thai however in the first bout he couldn’t really keep the bout standing long enough to cause an upset and that must be his priority in this bout – Keep the fight standing and then see where he goes from there, he will be confident he’s seen “Spartacus” at his best, and will hope that he will avoid taking the same sort of punishment that he received in the first bout. This is probably a harder fight for the Champion, than Challenger paradoxically – Jokinen bossed the first fight, and does he follow a similar game plan knowing that Norzu surely must have been working on those gaps – Or does he twist and try and do something different to catch him off guard? Jokinen is dominant in NFC, he’s undefeated in six in NFC but did taste defeat last time out as he was taken down and out worked – I don’t think that Norzu can implememt a similar game plan but it will breed confidence. But let’s not be fooled here, with Sensational Boxing and Wrestling, not to mention Brown grade BJJ and dangerous Wonderful Muay Thai Otso "Spartacus" Jokinen is more than capable of bossing this fight once more and dictating exactly how it goes down. With 9 of 11 wins via (T)KO he is a finisher and interestingly, he comes into this bout the much smaller fighter – which might well favour him implementing a Wrestling centric game plan – Will that play out? Jokinen will be confident in getting the job done, but Santeri Norzu has absolutely nothing to lose here and that makes him a dangerous, and unwanted opponent coming off a loss which surely must raise some internal doubts in Jokinen. 185: Sampsa Siloposki (18-7-0) v "Kuuma" Kalle Reinikainen (9-1-0) This bout is at Middleweight with Exceptional striker Sampsa Siloposki taking on super aggressive and entertaining "Kuuma" Kalle Reinikainen here. This one promises to be a war, both men are strikers, both men like to keep fights standing, and both are pretty good at ending them, especially Reinikainen with 8 of his 9 career wins via (T)KO. This is a bout that I can see ending with one of these men taking down the ‘KO of the Night’ award not to mention a massive win that will propel them right into the mix at Middleweight. Sampsa Siloposki is an Exceptional striker, he has 12 of 18 wins via (T)KO and he is much more experienced than his opponent tonight which he will see as a big advantage for sure. "Kuuma" Kalle Reinikainen might not be as seasoned as Siloposki, but he has made just a big an impact in his short stay in NFC thus far, this Elite Boxer states that he will not be denied, and with the majority of his 8 (T)KO wins coming in Round 1, this man is quick out of the blocks and even quicker in putting you away. Interestingly the bookmakers have opted with Kalle Reinikainen as a big favourite here, most likely due to his explosive style, but Sampsa Siloposki wil want to drag him into the second and third rounds here and use his advantage to see how much he has left after his initial burst I feel - http://www.mmatycoon.com/bookmakerpublic.php?bid=4282 170: Maddy Rock (17-6-0) v "master of the universe" He Man (12-3-0) As far as the bookmakers are concerned, this is a no contest, He Man should easily take this one down but will it just be that open and shut a case? "master of the universe" He Man likes to dominate his opponents and takes pleasure in outclassing them over the distance, with 9 of 12 wins via Decision he knows his way around the cage and likes to really control the action and his opponent. It doesn’t make for the most aesthetically pleasing style, but it works. With Exceptional Striking and Remarkable Wrestling – He Man is a very talented guy but the key to defeating this man is outworking him and breaking his will and that is pretty hard to do. Across the cage tonight is another man known for going the distance in Maddy Rock and this one has all the hall marks of being a three round war of attrition as these two battle it out. Rock is the more talented of the two on paper, especially with his Sensational Boxing but he too is well versed in going the distance. These two met before with He Man taking down a clear cut win, it was too long ago to really take anything from the bout but He Man did boss the fight in the clinch and will maybe look to see if Rock has learned any lessons since, I expect this fight to go differently though but will Maddy Rock be able to upet the bookmakers? Both men are both coming off wins, and both haven’t really ever got themselves into contention at Welterweight, but this is a good test for both men because they can use the other to really get themselves into the mix here. 155: Esko "Vaara" Salo (13-7-0) v Seppo "Suppo" Taalasmaa (19-7-0) 205: Les "Bei Dem Knee" Grossman (10-6-1) v Demian Silva (10-4-1) 265+: Aalio "Scarface" Paalio (12-9-0) v Rick "One Minute Man" Thompson (9-7-0) 205: Marko Lecic (9-4-0) v Sky Scrape (14-7-0) 205: Goran Persson (4-0-0) v Al "Put It" Inyourbutt (10-6-0) 155: Johan Herberg (12-5-1) v Sigurd Fafnisbani (16-6-0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahti Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1306263448poster94.jpg Post event - NFC 94 Kullero vs Bear 185: Main Event: "Hillitön paahtaja" Pasi Kullero v Fuzzy "Care" Bear The Main Event of NFC 94 may well go down as one of the greatest fights in the history of the org, this was one of those bouts that had absolutely everything and this Main Event in particular helped cement NFC’s place at the top of the tree worldwide. Round 1 opened with the undefeated Champion, Pasi Kullero looking to close the distance, but he got tagged a few times by Bear which most likely prompted him into taking the fight to the mat, where almost immediate he nearly finished the fight putting Fuzzy Bear under serious pressure with his strikes from top position. Fuzzy Bear couldn’t really have argued had the referee stopped this one in Round 1 such was the damage he took, however he managed to get to Round 2 and he showed the heart of a true Champion to make it that far as Kullero devastated him early on in this bout. Round 2 began much the same, Kullero was looking to clinch up, and missed with a few takedowns before Fuzzy Bear came into this one, landing a counter right and left hand that sent Kullero crashing to the mat before an absolutely manic crowd. Straight into mount, Fuzzy Bear however will live to regret his inactivity – Whereas Kullero went for the kill, “Care” was happy to try and grind out the Champion as he made it to the end of Round 2, under less pressure that Bear was at the end of Round 1 but none the less this was a great comeback considering just how bad Round 1 went for the Challenger. This surreal bout ended in Round 3, but that was not before we got another twist in the tale – Kullero was looking to clinch yet again, but Bear was wise to him, he dodged this attempt and managed to hit him with a few counter shots that really hurt the Champion, seeing that he was being out-struck, Pasi Kullero rushed in rather naively and was condemned to the mat again with a sensational flying knee that nearly ended this bout, this time Bear came to finish – However you could not write it, he dived in looking the finish but the Champion, showed what a man he was, he immediately managed to reverse the position with a butterfly sweep, before Kullero worked his way past Bear’s guard and eventually finished this fight after 4:03 of Round 3. When Kullero was in top position, he had absolutely no hesitation in pulling the trigger – there is the chance that Bear could have finished this one but he picked his moments wrong you feel, this fight was an absolute war and these men should really have to go at it again – You get the feeling that there is unfinished business here and I think before long we could be looking at Kullero v Bear II. Meanwhile Kullero remains undefeated, remains the best fighter in the world pound for pound and stands at an astonishing 17-0-0. Up next for the Champion is a bout with "Alkulukuja Paskova Karhu" Kosti Johannes which will go down at an event yet to be disclosed by NFC. 265+: Co Main Event: Iiro "The Man" Tolonen v "KO-Artist" Nyrkki Sankari The Co Main Event of the Evening was for the Super Heavyweight Championship, the Challenger in this one "KO-Artist" Nyrkki Sankari had to keep the fight standing in order to gain the title, however the vast majority of this bout was spent on the mat as the Champion, Iiro "The Man" Tolonen was able to take it there and neutralise the dangerous stand-up of the Challenger at will. Tolonen was successful with 7 of his 9 takedown attempts in what was the story of the bout. Nyrkki Sankari will obviously be upset at how this fight progressed but he knew that he would be possibly be facing this type of game plan and he just had no answer for the relentless grinding tactic that “The Man” employed here. Tolonen was less than aggressive on the mat, in fact he did just enough to keep the referee off his back in what wasn’t a fan friendly tactic, but it worked as he retained his Super Heavyweight title and improved his record to 20-7-0 and move up on to a big clash with "Bat'ka" Alexander Lukashenko that is also yet to be announced. 185: "Alkulukuja Paskova Karhu" Kosti Johannes v Ted Dibiase "Alkulukuja Paskova Karhu" Kosti Johannes was cut in the opening seconds of this bout, but all that did was anger this dangerous Finn, as Dibaise couldn’t really land anything after that and was finished shortly after in brutal fashion. First Kosti Johannes landed a massive head kick that put Ted Dibiase to the mat, then he stood back and let the referee stand this fight back up but Johannes was clearly rocked and was knocked down again almost immediate with a huge combination only for Dibaise to stagger to his feet yet again, but he was finished, the referee was forced to step in shortly after as after 2:05 of Round 1 the referee was forced to stop this bout declaring the winner by (T)KO Kosti Johannes due to Kick and Punches. With this win, "Alkulukuja Paskova Karhu" Kosti Johannes moves on to the biggest fight of his career as he is due to take on undefeated, world number one, Pasi Kullero in his next bout, we are unsure at this point if the Middleweight Championship is due to be decided in this bout – however we can nearly be certain it will be adding to the incentive for Johannes in a bout that promises to be absolutely epic. 265: Kalle Kujansuu v "Wagner" Paha SIka What an entertaining bout this was as Kalle Kujansuu and "Wagner" Paha SIka decided to stand and fight this one out here in their Heavyweight bout. It was a competitive affair as it went the distance with both men happy to trade strikes with each other during the course of the three rounds. However this fight was won and lost on "Wagner" Paha SIka inability to get this fight into the clinch position – he was always looking to get the fight here but wasn’t really successful in this area as Kalle Kujansuu was more than ready for him in this respect. "Wagner" Paha SIka wasn’t as varied in the stand-up as Kalle Kujansuu, with Kujansuu’s Boxing especially to the fore here but he did take down the last round, however it was too little too late at that stage, Kujansuu knew all he had to do was stay out of trouble and knew only a finish would deny him victory – It wasn’t to be as Kalle Kujansuu held on for a deserved victory and improve to 12-2-0 with it. 170: Felix Flashlighter defeated Bill Dance via unanimous decision for the Welterweight Championship of NFC. 265: Roddy Bowes was no match for Neik Hammerlik as he picked up a (T)KO win after just 0:57 via Strikes. 170: Fransico Junior and Frekkas Poop went the distance here at Welterweight, with the latter picking up the unanimous decision victory. 265: At Heavyweight, Lou Cifer Jr was denied over the course of three rounds by Tony Tauno as he picked up a unanimous decision win. 170: Harri Sirkkeli defeated Martti Aho at Welterweight in their clash, the fight went the distance but Harri Sirkkeli was comfortable in victory. 265+: Gigantus Boagrius was no match for Artturi Virtanen who took just 3:46 to pick up a (T)KO win here due to Strikes.

vahti Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1306263916poster95.jpg Post event - NFC 95 Remmi vs Stehling 265: Main Event: "Painijyrä" Mitchell Stehling v Veto "Rotta" Remmi He said he was coming for the title, he sent out the warning shots and here in the Main Event of NFC 95 Mitchell Stehling did exactly what he promised as he pulled off what was a shock win and with it took down the Heavyweight Championship of NFC. There was no controversy with victory here, Remmi was defeated by the better man as "Painijyrä" Mitchell Stehling was able to use his Elite Wrestling to really control the action and take this fight to the mat every round, bar round two, which was the only round he lost in this bout. Mitchell Stehling fought a very clever fight, he took the fight to the mat – gained his points and didn’t really risk anything when he had the dominant position, much happier to control the bout and see how the clock in each of the rounds. The key to victory for Remmi was to avoid this type of game plan; however there was nothing that he could do here as Stehling was inspired in victory and took down a superb victory to completely shut out the former Champion. With this win Stehling became the NFC Heavyweight Champion, moves to 14-4-0 and can look forward to his first defence being against Exceptional Boxer and knock out artist Ludvig "Biffen" Landersson. One suspects that with this level of Wrestling, and his athleticism – Stehling is going to be a hell of a rock to dislodge at Heavyweight and we look forward with interest how deposed Champion, Veto "Rotta" Remmi will recover from this – in what was his third defeat, in six bouts. 155: Co Main Event: Otso "Spartacus" Jokinen v Santeri Norzu It was hard to watch, but the Co Main Event of the Evening saw Otso "Spartacus" Jokinen dominate Santeri Norzu on the mat before picking up the relatively easy (T)KO win late in Round 2 in their Lightweight clash. Norzu didn’t have the chance to do anything; he was controlled on the mat all of Round 1, and put away in Round 2 as Sensational Wrestler Otso "Spartacus" Jokinen defeated Norzu for the second time now, more conclusively than first time around. Otso "Spartacus" Jokinen stands at 6th Worldwide in the Lightweight rankings, and he’ll be certainly looking for a big opponent to try and get himself back to the top of the tree with his next outing. Jokinen can be defeated, we’ve seen that, especially at NFC 91 at the hands of Slinky McDougle – Perhaps he’ll go in search of the second contest with him? 185: Sampsa Siloposki v "Kuuma" Kalle Reinikainen Absolutely sensational stuff in this Middleweight bout, from out of nowhere, Sampsa Siloposki manages to rock his opponent – who was dominating the fight, before landing a highlight reel Spinning Backfist KO – I didn’t think it could be even done, but to do this, when he was being defeated showed just how dangerous Sampsa Siloposki can be. It was something out of one of those low budget MMA films that are popping up, you don’t think it can be done – But Siloposki conspired to clinch victory from the jaws of defeat in one of the greatest ever NFC finishes. Before this, it was all Reinikainen – he took Round 1 and 2, and was well on his way to victory – before at 2:59 of Round 3, the mark where everyone surely fast forwards to on youtube Sampsa Siloposki lands perhaps the most defining finish of his career. Fuzzy Bear awaits next for Sampsa Siloposki who will surely be looking at a title shot should he manage to prevail in that one, which will be no easy task however Siloposki moves to 19-7-0 with a breath-taking victory, one for the history books in NFC. 170: "master of the universe" He Man v Maddy Rock He Man managed to connect early on with Maddy Rock with a quick left hand, and since the moment it landed you always felt he was comfortable against the dangerous Rock during the course of this bout. This fight was won and lost in “master of the universe’s” ability to get into the clinch position and work over Maddy Rock – Whilst he wasn’t overly aggressive; he was able to exploit his opponents weakness and that’s what this game is all about. He Man also looked effective with his kicks, which was also a big factor in keeping the distance, then helping to close it. He Man fought an extremely clever fight, and with the win here he moves to 13-3-0. As a reward for his win in this one, he gets a shot at Felix Flashlighter and the NFC Welterweight title – Flashlighter hasn’t been defeated in eight bouts, and is ranked the fourth Welterweight in the world – He Man will be up against it, but showing the good planning and execution that he did against Maddy Rock, his camp will be confident he can take down what would be a massive upset victory. If he can do it remains to be seen, but this one will go down shortly, we are just waiting for NFC to officially announce this one. 155: Esko Salo defeats Seppo Taalasmaa via unanimous decision. 205: Demian Silva was left with no alternative but to submit to the strikes of Les Grossman after 3:04 of Round 1 in their Light-Heavyweight bout. 265+: Rick Thompson wasted no time in taking out Aalio Paalio, their fight ending after 4:36 of Round 1 due to (T)KO Cut. 205: Marko Lecic and Sky Scrape went the distance, with the latter picking up the decision win here at Light-Heavyweight. 205: Goran Persson gained the (T)KO Strikes win over Al Inyourbutt with just seconds remaining in Round 1 of their Light-Heavyweight clash. 155: Sigurd Fafnisbani decisioned Johan Herberg in the Lightweight opener of NFC 95.

vahti Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1306594542poster96.jpg NFC 96 Itaniemi vs Adebisi 205: Main Event: Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi (23-6-0) v Simon Adebisi (13-3-0) The Main Event of NFC 96 features the debut of new signing Simon Adebisi, he boasts Exceptional Boxing and Superb Muay Thai, but it is his grappling game that is really his greatest strength because of his Remarkable Wrestling and highly dangerous Brown grade BJJ. Adebisi has 11 of 13 of his career wins via Submission so look for him to try and get this fight to the mat at some point, however he faces highly experienced NFC stalwart Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi, he is no mug – He knows all about Adebisi you can be sure of that so let’s see if the debutant can spring a surprise or two in this bout and maybe show us something we haven’t seen from him yet. Hailing from Tornio, Finland, Adebisi is the smaller of the two fighters, which may well help his mobility when shooting in for takedowns so look for him to try and counter into the shoot takedowns – something which he’s made a career out of thus far it seems but will he be able to transfer his form into the world’s premiere organisation in NFC? Simon Adebisi certainly didn’t get a handy tune up fight; nobody can accuse him of getting it easy on his NFC debut as tonight he is thrown to the lions as he takes on former NFC Light-Heavyweight Champion Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi. This Sensational Boxer holds a record of 19 of 23 career wins via (T)KO and Adebisi is going to have to be very cautious that he doesn’t get caught on the way in and out by “FinnFury”, who will want to keep this fight standing and add to his record of impressive finishes. Obviously the key to this fight is if Simon Adebisi can get this fight to the mat and implement his dangerous grappling game – for Itaniemi all he has to do is keep this bout standing, his outstanding striking can finish at any stage. This is going to be a tough encounter for Simon Adebisi but he can put himself right in the mix with a big win here, but that is certainly no give me. 205: Co Main Event: Quinton "Sledge" Lind (10-2-0) v Eric "88" Lindros (8-2-0) The Co Main Event of the Evening features another NFC debutant as we get to see Quinton "Sledge" Lind in action for the first time under the NFC banner. Coming to NFC with a reputation of finishing his opponents via knock out, this Sensational Boxer has promised to get back to the basics and continue finishing people off and tonight he faces off against a man who also has quite a reputation for finishing opponents. The Co Main Event of the Evening promises fireworks, both these men come to finish and this one could well be a quick one. Eric "88" Lindros boasts Exceptional Boxing and Remarkable Muay Thai – he is also the taller fighter so look for him to try and control the distance in this bout to really keep “Sledge” at bay. This one really comes down to who approaches this fight better tactically, both men like to try and out strike their opponents and both will be content to try and assert their authority on the other in this respect which always goes down with the fans well. Eric "88" Lindros has faced a better quality opponent in his career – That probably makes him the favourite in this one but let’s see if Quinton "Sledge" Lind can get the job done here on his debut. 185: Urpo Nyrkki (16-6-0) v Ran "Tan" Plan III (10-5-0) Urpo Nyrkki has been awarded ‘Fight of the Night’ honours four times in his career, this is a seriously talented guy – he has finished his opponents 9 of 16 times and always brings a fighting style that the NFC fans love, Nyrkki can take a fight anywhere and be comfortable and that could well be the key to this fight. Ran "Tan" Plan III has dropped his last two straight fights and this Sensational Boxer and Remarkable Muay Thai striker has 8 of 10 career wins via (T)KO, but he has also lost four fights via the same method – He likes to stand and trade, but he also appears to be at his weakest here and I think this is an avenue that Urpo Nyrkki will want to exploit, this fight has ‘Fight of the Night’ written all over it I feel because these guys are going to be confident that they have the other’s number and despite being both NFC veterans, they have not met before but shared many of the same opponents. Ran "Tan" Plan III quite possibly needs a win more than Urpo Nyrkki, that might well work for him and against him as I think he’ll look to press the action in the striking stakes where he is the better on paper of these two men, which will leave him open to counter strikes from Nyrkki who will also come to the cage tonight with a reach advantage which may well take significance as this fight progresses. I think we can look forward to a good old fashioned brawl in this one, well it could well develop into that should both these men decided to throw technique out the window as the energy levels go down. 205: Simo Kuassimo (8-1-0) v Jake "Agent" Orange (12-4-0) With Sensational Boxing and Muay Thai, 5 of 8 career wins via (T)KO and only one loss in his career to Ming Xin, the NFC Light-Heavyweight Champion. Simo Kuassimo looks to be a really talented guy destined for the top at NFC and tonight he faces Jake "Agent" Orange. On a streak of two straight wins, Kuassimo from Vantaa, Finland will look to continue that streak tonight as he takes on the more experienced Jake “Agent” Orange in what will be a big test of his credentials. Jake "Agent" Orange, fresh off the KO of a lifetime, a flying knee finish of David Silva at NFC 91 will look to keep his own momentum going as he takes on Simo Kuassimo, on paper both these men are Sensational strikers with a penchant for KO finishes, “Agent” Orange will have a massive reach advantage here though, so look for him to try and pick off Kuassimo during the course of this Light-Heavyweight bout. Both these men are probably hovering just outside serious title contention, but they both know that a big finish here will certainly push them into the chasing pack so look for both to really push the tempo in this one which should give us a real spectacle. Whilst these men are both considered equal in the striking stakes on the face of it, I’ll be very interested to see how can assert dominance in this respect during the course of the bout and the key to this fight is who can get their shots in first here in what promises to be an entertaining clash. 265: Mikko Kytta (11-8-0) v "The Royal Shindig" Nicolai Romanov (13-4-0) 265: Milo "Of" Kroton (11-4-0) v Optimus "Autobot" Prime (16-9-0) 170: "Tolkuton mullikka" Palkki Niskavuori (11-3-0) v Jeeves "The Driver" Smith (20-7-2) 205: Marko Torturo (10-3-0) v Calico Jack (14-2-0) 205: Mega "FAIL" Fredriksson (10-5-0) v Richard Head (12-7-0) 185: "Mokushi" Hitsomiru Tamaka (14-3-0) v "Global Killer" Anabol Asteroid (16-9-1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahti Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1306594542poster96.jpg Post event - NFC 96 Itaniemi vs Adebisi 205: Main Event: Simon Adebisi v Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi will not be happy with himself on reflection of this one, coming into the last round; he was clearly ahead – two rounds to the good, because Simon Adebisi’s game plan was so one dimensional "FinnFury" was just basically picking off scores to keep the judges active. Whilst Adebisi did score a takedown in both the first and second rounds, these were in the dying seconds of both rounds – and perhaps didn’t even register with the judges at all because of the botched attempts which preceded the successful ones. Adebisi was trying in vain the whole fight to get it to the mat, and his efforts began to remind me of a world war one-esque, ‘over the top’ approach as they began to look desperate. Urho "FinnFury" Itaniemi would definitely look to finish this one if he had his chance again, because in the final round, with both fighters tiring Simon Adebisi rather opportunistically took advantage of a clinch by “FinnFury” in which he managed to pull guard. With more time to work, and after a few failed attempts Adebisi managed to pick up the Submission win via Arm Bar after 3:21 of Round 3. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t impressive – But Simon Adebisi will not care one bit as he takes a massive win here, and moves to 14-3-0 and onto a date with Global superstar, Jigoro Kane – A bout rumoured to be going down on the blockbuster NFC 100 card. We await official confirmation of this however. 205: Co Main Event: Eric "88" Lindros v Quinton "Sledge" Lind The Co Main Event of the Evening went the distance, and in one of the fights of the night, Eric Lindros emerged victorious over Quinton “Sledge” Lind here in their Light-Heavyweight collision. It was a bruising encounter, with both men opting to stay on their feet for the duration of the bout as they looked to assert their authority over the other, but in the end “88” managed to take home the 30:27 Decision win scored by all judges due to his superior and more accurate Boxing. Lind had his best moments in Round 1 as he scored with some good counter shots – but Lindros was wise to him and began to close the distance, not allowing him to close the action, often clinching up to sap some of Lind’s energy, then releasing. Eric "88" Lindros really came into in Round 2, having seen that he was having success in the clinch he adapted his game plan and began to incorporate this into his offence, and it worked as he scored with numerous shots in the clinch to cut open “Sledge” twice. The final round was really one for the fans, both men threw caution to the wind and just went for it resulting in some serious action as these men both brought the fight to the other – Both were connecting and both were receiving as they made a change in style from the tactical battles of Round 1 and 2 to just throwing down. However with Lind knowing that he needing the finish, he was that bit more desperate and rushed his offence more allowing Lindros to remain relatively calm and see out the final round but this was a hell of bout, both men gave it their all and the fans got their money worth here. But taking down the decision was Eric "88" Lindros, improving to 9-2-0 in the process. 185: Urpo Nyrkki v Ran "Tan" Plan III Urpo Nyrkki will not be one bit happy, this fight was ruled a draw but I am not sure how the judges came to that decision at all – This fight was dominated by the superior striking of Nyrkki who landed much more offence than his opponent and, not only that knocked him to the mat and rocked him seriously in Round 2. The only thing I can think of here is that the judges docked him points for the amount of leg kicks he threw, that didn’t hit the target – But surely that is no way to punish a man who was the more aggressive and indeed really looked to have took all three rounds despite being cut early in the first by Ran "Tan" Plan III. This fight was a serious get out of jail card free for “Tan” and I think he knows it. Urpo Nyrkki was clearly shocked as the decision was read out to him and you can’t really argue with the man – This is really one of those fights that you have to watch again. And it also brings into question the quality of the judging once again in MMA – Is it time for ‘professional’ judges? I think we know that answer from Urpo Nyrkki anyway. 205: Jake "Agent" Orange v Simo Kuassimo Jake "Agent" Orange won this fight as it went the distance in another superb contest at Light-Heavyweight – but what can you say about the heart he showed here in this bout because it could have been all over in Round 1 as Simo Kuassimo absolutely beat him down and bloodied up his face to the point where it looked like this one could be stopped prematurely, with some devastating aggression in the clinch. Having made it out of Round 1 somehow, Orange knew he couldn’t afford to get tagged with too many more, and certainly he had to avoid the clinch work of his opponent – Orange came out throwing a lot more kicks in Round 2 obviously looking to keep the distance between himself and Simo Kuassimo but once again the latter managed to get into the clinch – I thought this was dangerous for Orange, however it was he who then managed to cut open Kuassimo, before breaking the clinch and then impressively taking down his opponent late in the round to steal some points. It was clearly winner takes all at that stage, with both fighters each taking a round as they came out for the third and final, Orange against came out throwing a lot of kicks and they were finding their target as Simo Kuassimo’s aggression was being punished, and this was basically how the fight panned out with Simo Kuassimo trying to emulate Round 1 and bringing this fight into the clinch but Orange was never going to let himself get into that position again – quickly getting out of trouble when Kuassimo did get his hands on him those few times in the final round. This was a hell of a comeback, and some could have even argued Round 1 was a 10:8 to Kuassimo however I don’t think that would be fair on Jake "Agent" Orange who showed real heart and determination here, not to mention intelligence to realise Plan A had failed badly here. Taking down the win was Orange, who now stands at 13-4-0 and is rumoured to have accepted a fight with Eric Lindros next – What a war that would be. 265: Mikko Kytta and Nicolai Romanov go the distance in this Heavyweight bout, with the former taking down a big unanimous decision victory. 265: Milo Kroton and Optimus Prime could not be separated after a three round war, and as a result the judges ruled this fight a draw which perversely looked like it took whatever was left out of both men. 170: Palkki Niskavuori looked pretty sharp in this Welterweight bout as he took down a decision win over Jeeves Smith. 205: Marko Torturo had too much in the tank for Calico Jack, and will be upset that he couldn’t finish this one because he dominated – but he had to settle for the 30:25 decision win, agreed on by the judges here. 205: Mega Fredriksson and Richard Head had themselves a war here, but it was the former who took this bout down due to his ability to stuff the takedowns of his opponent, and then take the fight to the mat when it suited him. 185: It didn’t take long for Anabol Asteroid to finish Hitsomiru Tamaka in this Middleweight bout, taking just 0:44 in Round 1 to gain himself an impressive KO victory.

vahti Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1307988472poster97.jpg NFC 97 Sankari vs Sai Yuk This event is being covered by $$ Big Bucks Bookie $$ - http://www.mmatycoon.com/bookmakerpublic.php?bid=4282 265+: Main Event: "KO-Artist" Nyrkki Sankari (11-3-0) v Fong "The Last Son of Canton" Sai Yuk (11-3-0) The Main Event of Saturday evening has got pretty personal, pretty quick. New signing to NFC and debutant Fong "The Last Son of Canton" Sai Yuk wasted no time in getting under the skin of his opponent Saturday night declaring in what was no doubt meant as an unsubtle slight, “I hate artists. To be specific, I loathe them. They make me sick”, considering Nyrkki Sankari calls himself “KO-Artist”, it didn’t take much to join the dots on this one. Firing back, with a lot more venom was Sankari, he declared rather controversially, “I fucking hate Chinese people!” So the stage is set for this grudge from nowhere to be settled pretty quickly. Getting down to the actual business of analysing this one, the NFC bookmakers, $$ Big Bucks Bookie $$ has installed "KO-Artist" Nyrkki Sankari as a big favourite here but he is just coming off a loss at NFC 94 where he was unsuccessful in his quest to gain the Super Heavyweight crown, losing a five round battle with undisputed Champion, Iiro Tolonen. With Wonderful Boxing and Superb Muay Thai and every single one of his wins to date, eleven via violent (T)KO “KO-Artist” does what he says, make no mistake about it this man has a serious record of finishing bouts early in Round 1 and he’ll be supremely confident he can do the same again, especially with the bad blood stirring before this one. "The Last Son of Canton" is a dangerous high level grappler, with a record for ground and pound (T)KO’s himself – This Wonderful Wrestler also boasts Brown grade BJJ but essentially he’s going to want to clinch up with Sankari, drag him to the mat and basically beat him up and that’s the key to this fight. Because if he has trouble taking down Sankari he’s going to get knocked out – Take into account that Sai Yuk is also extremely susceptible to cuts, indeed this has been the cause of his only three losses to date, and the urgency for him to get this fight to the mat becomes very clear. Sankari and Sai Yuk are never in dull fights, this one is getting ended early for sure – By whom, who knows – But everything depends on whether “KO-Artist” can keep this fight on his feet – Surely he’s going to want to stand off and try and pick off his Chinese foe, rather than be overly aggressive and get taken down? If it goes to the mat, you can bet that Sankari will not be able to stop the relentless Sai Yuk, but since all fights start standing, the book makers are going with "KO-Artist" Nyrkki Sankari. Enjoy a bet on this one, and let’s see if Fong "The Last Son of Canton" Sai Yuk prompts Sankari into coming out aggressive, which would suit the NFC debutant as he looks to counter into a takedown - http://www.mmatycoon.com/bookmakerpublic.php?bid=4282 265: Co Main Event: "The Divine Weapon" Nino Blaze (10-2-0) v Grigori Lebedev (10-1-0) The Co Main Event of NFC 97 is a seriously tough one to call; featuring two of the best talents at Heavyweight as "The Divine Weapon" Nino Blaze and hard hitting Grigori Lebedev are due to collide. This is going to be a fight for the fans, no doubt about it – Both these men can finish at any time, and this is a real contender for ‘Fight of the Night’ in my estimation. Ludvig Landersson inflicted the first defeat of Grigori Lebedev’s career last time out at NFC 92 – Just how will this man react to that loss considering he had won ten straight in a dream start to his career? Of course all great warriors face adversity, and this could just be the start of something special for Lebedev though if he can get the previous bout out of his system. Boasting Exceptional Boxing and effective Purple grade BJJ, these attributes have led to the Russian finishing seven of his ten career wins thus far so he certainly knows what to do, but he’s also took down three decision wins and he knows how to adapt his game plan to get results – Which might be a triumph card he can play during the course of this bout. "The Divine Weapon" Nino Blaze is pretty good at what he does, bringing Exceptional Boxing and Wonderful Muay Thai to the cage, this man ends fights – With 8 of 10 career wins being finished early due to his striking this Swede has already provided us with his sound byte for the fight, promising his Russian opponent, “you can't run, you can't hide”. There will be no hiding place for either man tonight as this is a genuine clash between two men I think are destined for the top, both will make it, but just which one will use the other for a quick shortcut to the top? "The Divine Weapon" Nino Blaze is a slight favourite for this bout with the official NFC bookmakers, but both men are coming off losses here, will they go back to what they do best – or will the soul searching the last few weeks over prompt one man to come out and show us something new that could potentially be the game breaker here? Both men are pretty much identical in every other aspect, this fight promises to be a really intriguing affair and a big win for either man gets them right back into the game with respect to a title shot you feel. Take a bet on this one, I think you should flip a coin because this is really how close this one is - http://www.mmatycoon.com/bookmakerpublic.php?bid=4282 265: Syltty "Orhi" Tallikone (18-7-0) v Joseph "Huesos" Jones (24-10-0) Syltty "Orhi" Tallikone has been around for it seems an eternity, he’s had 25 career fights to date and yet he’s only 25 years old, meaning this is a man with really a lot more room for improvement which is a scary proposition. In the form of his career right now, with three straight finishes this Sensational Boxer and Exceptional Muay Thai striker will obviously be looking to keep the fight standing where he is at his most dangerous. This fight will be an interesting one for Tallikone, usually he’ll come to the cage towering over his opponents, whilst he will hold a minimal advantage in this respect Saturday Night it won’t be enough for him to form a tactic of keeping it on the outside and using his reach advantage to frustrate Joseph "Huesos" Jones. 30 year old Joseph Jones has seen it all, with 34 professional bouts to his name – he is unlikely to be surprised by anything that “Orhi” will do in this bout and that may stand in him good stead – With Sensational Boxing and Remarkable Muay Thai, he is a dangerous striker himself – also with a pretty dominant record of 17 (T)KO wins, out of his 24 career wins to date he knows what to do to get the job done. Interestingly the bookmakers have Joseph "Huesos" Jones as a big underdog in this bout, perhaps they are taking into account, last time out he lost as he challenged for the NFC Heavyweight title to Veto Remmi – I don’t know if he deserves such a large price, but that being said, Syltty "Orhi" Tallikone is a man on serious form. Have your say - http://www.mmatycoon.com/bookmakerpublic.php?bid=4282 185: Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr (13-4-0) v Mike The Meth Addict (14-7-0) Mike The Meth Addict is coming into Saturday Night’s clash with Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr on the back of two straight finishes, owing to his Sensational Boxing and Strong Muay Thai game. With 14 career wins, and 11 via way of (T)KO he certainly knows how to work his striking to awesome effect. Hailing from Zimbabwe, he’s only ever been finished by strikes once himself so he possesses all the attributes of a really dangerous striker, and this is one man you don’t want to get into a brawl with – Interestingly, in this bout Mike will hold a big reach advantage and perhaps we’ll see him look to keep this bout on the outside, and look to jab his way via the defences of “Svartur” whilst at the same time keep himself out of trouble adapting a more technical approach? Across the cage Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr himself is no slouch on his feet – indeed some even suspect he holds the best Boxing in NFC with his Elite level, with 8 of his 13 career wins coming via (T)KO he knows how to get the job done – He has also never been finished via strikes, and this means the stage set here for a really intriguing bout – The game plans both men bring to the cage here can make or break this one, and I think this is where the fight will be won and lost – And will Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr be able to use his Superior Boxing to navigate his way through the superior reach that The Meth Addict holds? Gunnar "Svartur" Ingi Jr comes into this bout a big favourite – Is it warranted? - http://www.mmatycoon.com/bookmakerpublic.php?bid=4282 265: "The Southside Shaman" Richard Simmons (9-0-0) v "The Apocalypse" Kristof Nikitin (6-0-0) 185: Joey Silvera (6-1-0) v "Roar!"
