Recommended Posts

Im pretty sure Machine faces Mcthornbody next? K Fists isnt in the tourney?

Gristle always gets overlooked. Just like he was overlooked for fight of the night on Sunday :)

To say that this weekend has been a shocker is nothing. What a weekend it was. Brutal KO's, Three round wars and one of the upsets of the year.

 

The big fight on Sunday contained #2 P4P fighter Tonal as he took on Lee Perry in one of the biggest upsets of the year. Not many could have predicted Perry surviving Tonals brutal power never mind winning the fight but he did just that.

 

Straight from Lee:

 

- I'm known by many names - Scratch, Pipecock Jackson, Kojak, Dr. On The Go, Inspector Gadget and last but not the least - "The Upsetter"

Even my back band dub themselves as "The Upsetters".

 

To celebrate my recent win, I bless you with one of my manager's favorite tunes -

 

Kenji, good luck mon :P

There will be alexi's preview up in a few days but for now heres one from me since i had a bit of spare time for once.

 

Kurokawa Kenji vs Lee Perry

 

Two of the top 10 light heavyweights face off as Kenji takes on Perry in a fight which i do not expect to reach the judges. Kenji has big power in his hands and loves to stand and bang but that is not what Perry will have in mind. The elite ground specialist will look to take Kenji down and lay some of that awesome ground and pound of his. Perry is coming off a huge win over Tonal and will be hoping over confidence isn't setting in as he became one of the fav's to win the 3mil. Every fight starts standing and Perry will need to be careful or Kenji will catch him and it could be good night.

 

Les Grossman vs Budo Rei

 

Grossman taking on Rei is one of my personal fav fights tonight. Grossman is coming off a huge win against King who he destroyed in the first round. Budo is a tough son of a bitch though and unless your careful the former millionaire tourney winner can take your head off with a big shot. Grossman is pretty much an all round fighter. Has great stand up and a great ground game. He is very unpredictable when it comes to his fighting style. Budo is a stand up fighting with the heart of a lion but of late has shown skin of paper. He will hope to try finish this quickly before his cuts get in the way of what could be an epic win for Mini Bubba.

 

Billy Batts vs Taylor Norton

 

Batts is a dark horse in this tourney. He has big power and has never been knocked out in any of his previous 22 fights. He holds a win over one of the top middleweights Tito Hopkins and has recently made his move upto Light Heavyweight to take part in this. His problem is that he is going against the bookies fav to win this now Taylor Norton. Norton is one of the scariest fighters in the game with his almost flawless game. He has only even been finished by the GOAT Tonal and will be looking to make amends in this tourney. Both fighters pack big power and even better chins. I wouldn't be surprised to see this fight go all the way to the judges scorecards tonight.

 

Decision Machine v Gristle McThornbody

 

Machine and McThornbody both had tough first round fights and it doesn't get any easier for them. Machine who cut weight just to fight in this tourney is a natural heavyweight and has a reach advantage over everyone here and will look to put that to good use tonight. McThornbody won't be put off though. With a awesome third round KO in his last fight he will look to go all out for another KO tonight and secure one of the OTN bonuses. Both fighters have what it takes to knock the other one out so i wouldn't be surprised if the judges can take the night off for this fight.

 

Jason Sturd v Matthieu Benoit

 

Both of these guys are really well rounded. With Benoit almost losing in an upset in his first round fight will hope to make amends with a quick submission here tonight against Sturd. Sturd will have a different plan. The heavy handed straight from Compton has one thing on his mind and that is getting the KO here tonight and progress into the quarter finals. In his last fight Sturd managed to hang with a BJJ blackbelt on the ground but Benoit is a completely different kettle of fish when it comes to submissions. Both men will give it all but sadly only one of these two warriors will make it through.

 

Taj al Din v Ricardo Santiago

 

Former Ascension Champion al Din looks to secure his way into the Quarter finals against the tough middleweight Santiago in which could well be fight of the night. al Din known for his wicked KO power and great chin will look to stand up and bang against Santiago. Santiago has all the ground game though to give al Din troubles and a wicked clinch game. This could be a really close one for both fighters and i would never count any fighter out but if Santiago wants the win he is going to have to keep away from al Dins big power.

 

Degen Gambler v Anthony Bitonti

 

Gambler and Bitonti are both well rounded but its clear where each one will want to take this fight. Gambler will want to keep it standing and gun for Bitonti's chin where as Bitonti will want to secure that takedown and try to make Gambler tap. Both men could just as easy cancel the other one out and i could see this one going all the way to the judges. It should be a great fight for both fighters to test themselfs and secure that spot in the quarter finals.

 

Atlister The Demon v Marcus Crassus

 

Well Crassus who is my own fighter and meant to be a lamb to the slaughter made it through his first round fight only to be pitched against the very tough and well rounded Demon. Both fighters have well rounded skills in all departments but its Demon who possesses the better all round skills. Crassus might want to keep this standing to avoid Demon's blackbelt or maybe test himself against the blackbelt on the ground. Eitherway i personally don't think this will be close and Demon should advance into the quarter finals and Crassus can enjoy his retirement.
