Hello fight fans, Merlin here live from the King's 28th Birthday celebration in Hilo, and the Pipeline should be rocking when this great event kicks off. We have two title fights on the card with the Super Heavyweight and Heavyweight Champions defending against some very game contenders as well as a number contender fight for the Middleweight title. Should be some wars tonight, so lets get the action started.......

265lbs-John Johnson(0-4)(0-4)vsRolf Karlsson(0-1)(0-0)-Karlsson by (t)KO in 1st Rd

265lbs-Nate Newman(6-4)(0-0)vsSebastin Chabal(9-14)(2-4)-Newman by (t)KO in 1st Rd

185lbs-Bryan McClelland(6-1)(2-1)vsNickolas Diaz(6-6)(2-5)-McClelland by Sub in 2nd Rd

135lbs-Alex Anderson(12-7-1)(1-1)vsKelvin Letchford(10-5)(1-2)-Letchford by (t)KO in 1st Rd

265lbs-Ricky Fontaine(8-7)(2-2)vsSundar Thapa(9-2)(0-0)-Fontaine by (t)KO in 1st Rd

135lbs-#1.Joesph Ely(12-2)(8-1)vs#4."Eating Panties"Bobby Roach(8-4)(5-3)

Our Main Card starts out with a top 5 Bantamweight match up, and the winner will be getting a shot at the undefeated Champion Timmey the Gangster. Joesph Ely is a legend of Fallen Champions already, this will be his 10th fight under the orgs banner including a 4 fight run as Bantamweight Champion. For just 24 years old that is a pretty impressive resume, and getting back to and winning the Title for a second time will secure his place as one of the greatest 135lbers in org history. Joesph has some great grappling, but has been working on his stand up and showing some great improvements in that area. Bobby Roach is a pure grappler and ex ADCC two time tournament winner, who is still pretty young in his MMA career. He has been working on the Wrestling aspect of the fight game, and that should prove to pay dividends as he'll now be able to dictate where the fight takes place. If Roach's new Wrestling game pays off he should be able to get this one to the mat, and control the dominate position. Otherwise I think that Ely will pick him apart standing and possible even finish him, either way this one should be a pretty good match up and one the fans will surely enjoy.

265lbs-#1."The Future"Paul Mctanned(15-2)(3-1)vs#7."Steppin"Stefano Dufinbeger(8-5)(6-3)

Our next match up is between top 10 Heavyweights, and should be a great test for these two up and comers. Paul Mctanned is a 24 year old submission artist with 13 submissions on his record, and that number is only going to keep growing as this guy doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Paul has a very high level Black belt, and has really added a great Wrestling game to his arsenal that makes me a very very dangerous opponent for anyone in the division. Stefan Dufinbeger is a very exciting fighter, and he has a whole mantle full of "of the Night" awards to prove it. He may not be the most technically sound fighter, but he is always a game competitor and is not afraid to throw down with anyone. Dufinbeger has never had a fight go the distance and I don't see this one being any different, but the question will be if it will be Stefano by knockout or Mctanned by submission. I think that Paul's Wrestling will be the difference maker, and he should be able to land a big takedown and end the fight on the mat.

265lb Championship-(#7 P4P)C.Purple Aki(9-0)(1-0)vs#3.Doom Unit(10-3)(0-0)

In our first title fight of the evening we have the Heavyweight Championship on the line in a rematch of these two warriors. Purple Aki at 25 years old and with a 9-0 record is proving to be one of the brightest young stars on the FC roster, and after coming back from near defeat to win the title Purple's heart is no longer a question. Purple has a great skillset and will be comfortable where ever the fight takes place, but prefers to stand and bang and has the power to stop anybody in their tracks. Doom Unit is not wasting anytime making a name for himself, going right after the champ in his promotional debut. Doom has a very well rounded gameplan and skill set and will try to take the fight everywhere and has enough power to hurt his opponent whether the fight be standing or on the ground. These two fought back in Invictus, and Purple ended up getting the better of a very entertaining 3 round war. Both fighters have just got better since their last meeting, so this one could be an instant classic and I can't wait for it.

185lbs-#2.Henkka"Leka"Reem(14-3)(1-1)vs#5.Patrick"The Mentalist"Jayne(13-2)(0-0)

In our Co Main event of the evening with have two top 5 Middleweights who are looking to set themselves as the elite of the division. Henkka Reem is the last UPF-Hilo MW Champion, and it looked like he was on the fast line to an FC Championship but then he met Tarik Gibson back at LL 31. He can get back on track with a win against the highly regarded new comer, and one step closer to that title shot that he wants so bad. He is a grappling ace, and once the fight hits the mat he actively looks for transitions and submissions overwhelming his opponent with his busy attack. Patrick Jayne is making his debut at 33 years old, so he isn't wanting to waste anytime getting to the title and a win over a constant top fighter will do great things for getting him there. The Hilo native makes no attempts to hide his gameplan he wants to get the fight to the mat, and ground n pound his opponent into leaving openings for transitions or submissions. This fight is going to turn into a high level grappling match up, and will be a real treat for the BJJ fans in attendance. Jayne's Wrestling is going to dictate where the fight takes place, but Reem has a slick bottom game and that could be the difference maker in this fight.

265lb+ Championship-(#6 P4P)C."The Hoarder"Hunter Gatherer(13-2)(3-0)vs#3."The Largest Secret of Papa"Big Show Jr(6-0)(2-0)

In our Main event of the evening with have two Monsters set to do battle in what is sure to be one of the best fights of the night. Hunter Gatherer is a true knockout artist and is one of the most exciting fighters on the roster at the moment, at 24 years old this guy hasn't even hit his prime yet either. Hunter has some of the nastiest kicks in the org, and has really been working on his Boxing lately and with his kind of power that is just going to make him that much more dangerous for his opponent! Big Show Jr is one of the biggest up and comers in the org, and I'm not just talking about sized wise either this guy has just been steam rolling high level competition. Show is a Ground n pound beast and if he can get you down you are going to be in a world of pain, becuz this guy has some serious power as well. This is going to be a classic striker vs grappler match up, and this one good really go either way. If Hunter can sprawl and punish Big Show everytime he tries a takedown, he'll prolly be able to wear him down then take over with his awesome striking game. If Big Show can land a big takedown and get the fight in his world then he should be able to punish the Champion and earn himself a victory. Either way this one ends up going, I'm sure this won't be the last time these two warriors face one another.

There you have it folks, a great night of action in what seems to be a night full of the big boys, which i guess is fitting. A big night full of big fights, with big Fighters! I would like to thank our sponsors TFP-Graphics, make sure to check in with Captain Lou for all your sponsorship and clothing needs.

Hello fight fans, Merlin here with live coverage of the last Fallen Champions event in 2013 and it will be the 87th event that the year old org has put on this year. It was been one hell of a year for the promotion and hopefully just a sign of the things to come in 2014. We have the Light Heavyweight Championship on the line, plus 9 other great fights. So lets get the action underway.....

170lbs-Matt Clark(2-2)(2-2)vsMicheal White(1-7)(0-2)-Clark by UD

145lbs-Rane Kingi(5-1)(1-0)vsFreddy Lee(13-6)(1-0)-Kingi by SD

170lbs-Hugo Stiglitz(9-4)(1-1)vsJeff Wood(8-6)(5-5)-Wood by UD

170lbs-#3.Garrett Bukovsky(9-7)(0-0)vsMercello Sanchez(8-12)(0-0)-Bukovsky by (t)KO in 1st Rd

135lbs-#6.Blas Kavcic(10-3)(6-3)vs#9.Chuck Shamrock(9-5)(0-1)-Shamrock by (t)KO in 2nd Rd

155lbs-#6.Donnatello Moss(6-3)(4-2)vs#3.Sync Fowler(16-9)(0-1)-Moss by (t)KO in 1st Rd

135lbs-#7.Tyrion Lannister(11-4)(1-0)vs#5.Rajesh Koothrappali(10-9)(1-0)-Tyrion by UD

205lbs-#2.Tim Askarian(10-5)(8-3)vs#9.Demetrius Colrane(14-8)(3-3)-Askarian by (t)KO in 1st Rd

145lbs-#5.Kraal the Bouncer(12-7)(5-4)vs#8.Uebishe Lesnoe(8-0)(1-0)

In our Co Main event of the evening we have the ex Champion Kraal the Bouncer taking on the up and coming undefeated power house Uebishe Lesnoe who actually is the one that asked for this fight, as he is wanting to prove himself. Kraal has an extensive amatuer Boxing back ground, and some descent power which he has used to finish 9 of his opponents. Kraal has been training up his Wrestling game as of late, and it has helped him out greatly in a few of his last fights against better grapplers. Uebishe called King and asked for this match up, and he got what he wished for. Lesnoe sitting at 8-0 still hasn't even hit his prime yet, and the sky is the limit for this 22 year old Black belt. Lesnoe likes to get his opponent on their back then work his nasty ground n pound. I think Lesnoe will look to pick Kraal's leg apart while looking to land a big doulbe leg, but if Kraal is able to keep the fight standing he should be able to get his Boxing game going and turn this one into a war. If Lesnoe is able to get the fight to the mat then it may be a quick night of work for him, but it will come down to who wants it more.

205lb Championship-(#5 P4P)C."Bastard"Torrelio Sacana(16-3)(6-0)vs#6.Tyson Kahn(6-1)(2-0)

In our Main event of the evening we have the Light heavyweight Championship Title on the line, and Torrelio Sacana will be looking for his 4th title defense, and could possibly lock up a tycoon "of the Year" award with a win. Sacana has some world class Grappling both Wrestling and BJJ, but has been working on his Boxing game lately and that is sure to help him out! Once he gets his opponent on the mat Torrelio is relentless with his attack, throwing a barrage of strikes forcing his opponent to leave openings for him to improve his position and to lock up submissions. Tyson Kahn is on the fast track since joining the FC roster, and he would love to top that off with adding the Title to his trophy case! Tyson really relies on his Boxing skill and stays really busy, and lands almost 60% of his punches thrown. He has some power, but not really one punch knockout power so he has to damage his opponent before being able to finish the fight off. I think that Kahn is going to want to sprawl Sacana's takedowns and keep this fight at distance where he will be able to utilize his biggest strength. Sacana is going to try to get on the inside and get his hands on his opponent enough to get the fight of the mat, and work his superior grappling game. This is sure to be one hell of a fight, and could end up be the fight of the night.

There you have it folks, what a way to close out the end of the year, with this great card! I can't wait to see what Fallen Champions is able to do next year. I would like to think our Sponsors TFP-GRAPHICS, make sure to check in with Captain Lou for all your sponsorship and clohting needs! Also make sure that you get to Medieval Odds to place your bets on all your favorite Fallen Champion's fighters.

[theking04]

Hello fight fans, Merlin here with some exciting Fallen Champions action live from the Pipeline in Hilo, and this is sure to be a great night of fights. We have the Featherweight Champion Craig Clendennon defending his title against what some feel is his toughest test to date against the underdog Toshi Matoshin, plus 9 other great match ups. Lets get the action underway......

265lbs-Cyrus the Virus(8-4)(8-4)vsJohnnie Wait(3-6)(1-4)-Virus by (t)KO in the 1st Rd

135lbs-Kalel Iziarry(8-6)(6-6)vsMalcolm Master(11-14)(4-8)-Master by SUB in 1st Rd

155lbs-#9.Felix Akamai(7-7)(0-0)vs#7.Damien Lok(7-5)(5-5)-Lok by SUB in 2nd Rd

135lbs-#8.Buggy Clown(6-3)(0-0)vs#10.Rizal Farahin(7-4)(0-0)-Clown by UD

205lbs-#6.Aaron Archer(15-11)(0-0)vs#7.Wayne Pearson(7-4)(0-0)-Archer by (t)KO in 1st Rd

185lbs-#8."The Lion of Matema"Baraka Simengwa(9-7)(3-4)vs#9.Wooden Pencil(12-4)(0-0)

Our Main Card kicks off with two top 10 Middleweights doing battle, with the 7 fight FC Veteran taking on the promising up and comer. Baraka Simengwa has had a pretty up and down FC career, but comes into this one on a two fight skid and is in desperate need of a victory. Baraka has some of the finest grappling in the org, and is one of the best Submission artist to step foot in the Ring. He has done an awesome job of adapting the Wrestling game to his arsenal and hopefully he will be able to put it all together soon because at 24 years old he isn't getting any younger. Wooden Pencil is brother to the famed Tycooner Steel Penn, but has decided to step out of his brothers shadow and try his hand at some top level competition. Wooden is only 23 years old and already has 16 fights under his belt, and you have to think that this kind of experience is going to be great for his career in the long run. Pencil relies pretty heavily on his lethal kicking game combined with his amatuer Boxing background, which makes for a pretty nasty stand up attack. This one is going to be a classic striker vs grappler match up, and if Pencil can punish Baraka's legs early and slow down his takedown attempt he will maximize his chances to win. Baraka needs to get the fight to the mat and work his slick BJJ game, and he needs to get it down quick becuz standing to long with the superior striker will prove to horrible idea.

185lbs-#6.Christain Olson(14-5)(3-3)vs#10."Rampage"Quinton Jackson(8-2)(6-2)

Our next match also takes place in the Middleweight division, Christain Olson is coming off of a big win against fellow top 10er Baraka Simengwa in his last fight and he would love to make it two in a row. Olson has Collegiate level Wrestling with a really good double leg takedown, and has some vicious ground n pound once he gets the top position. Quinton Jackson came up through the FC ranks quick but suffered his first loss against long time Champion Finch, but has bounced back nicely and has made a solid name for himself amongst his peers. Jackson has greatly improved his Wrestling as of latem, as well as his stand up game which will make him a dangerous opponent for a lot of the top 10 contenders. Both of these fighters have similar skills with very similar gameplans, so it will be extremely interesting to see who will be able to establish their dominance in that very aspect of the game.

170lbs-#5.Juan Pablo Green(11-7)(0-1)vs#6.Glin"B-man"Burman(9-12)(4-3)

The next fight will be between top 10 Welterweights, Juan Pablo Green came in his FC debut on a hype train, but that train got derailed when he met Number 1 WW Mike McQuire back at FC 44. Juan has some great Boxing and has some serious power in both hands. Juan likes to keep coming forward pushing the action while looking for a takedown, and once the fight hits the mat he is no slouch either with 2 finishes by submission. Glin Burman has been on a 2 fight win streak lately including a 12 devestating knock out victory over ex Champ Lot in his last outting. Glin's main weakeness has been his ground game, so it will be interesting to see what will happen if the fight takes place there. Glin has power enough in his fist to end the fight if he is able to connect with a good shot. If this fight stays standing it will be a war between to heavy handed sluggers, but I think that Green will look to land a takedown and end the fight with a submission.

185lbs-#2.Bobby"The Black Knight"Bishop(12-2)(1-1)vs#5.Werkka Easterlund(15-10)(1-3)

Our Co Main event is a match up between these two top 5 Middleweights, and this would should be a great battle between these two warriors. Bobby Bishop is coming off of that devastating defeat at the hands of the Champ Freedom that broke a 6 fight win streak. Bobby likes to throw a lot of head punches both at range and in the clinch, but isn't afraid to throw in an occasional kick. Werkka Easterlund came in to the FC on fire, he was on a 3 fight win streak including destroying ex Champ Tom Finch, but has since fell from grace and dropped his last three. Werkka relies heavily on his Olympic caliber Boxing and does so to great success landing amost 70% of his career punches thrown. He also has 14 finishes coming by way of knockout so don't under estimate this guys power, or it could be lights out. This one could be an early pick for fight of the night as both of these two are going to want to stand and bang, Bobby has the bigger arsenal of attacks but I feel like Werkka has more power. This one could came down to who is able to land first, or if both of their chins hold up who is the more active fighter.

145lb Championship-(#4 P4P)C.Craig"Cee-Chop"Clendennon(13-1)(3-0)vs#3."The Sleeping Dragon"Toshi Matoshin(15-5)(2-0)

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1388689707FC49.jpg

It is finally time for the Main event of the evening and the Featherweight title will be on the line with the number 4 pound for pound fighter and the reigning Champion Craig Clendennon taking on his toughest challenge to date with the number 3 ranked Featherweight Toshi Matoshin. Craig is riding a 9 fight win streak coming into this contest, and he wants nothing more than to make that streak 10 fights and his first successful title defense. Craig usually tries to chop away at his opponent with low kicks to the legs and body and works his way inside where he has a dominating clinch game where he has a relentless attack of elbows and knees. Toshi has won both of his first two fights since joining the FC roster, and both of them have been by way of impressive knockout. Toshi likes ot use his Sensational Boxing to keep the fight at range where he can best utiulize his great punches and with 7 knockout finishes he can end an opponents night with the right shot. This fight is sure to take place on the feet with Craig wanted to close the distance and get the action in the clinch and Toshi wanted to pick his opponent apart from distance.

This card is sure to be a great night of action! I want to thank our sponsors TFP-Graphics, make sure to check in with Captain for all your sponsorship and clothing needs. Also make sure to vote for us for the best new org of the year award.

Hello Fight fans Merlin here, with a little story. Okay so I'm sitting in the Pipeline arena Satuarday night a few minutes before FC 49 got started and who do I see walk in and sit acouple rows ahead of me, none other than Tom Cirus. Tom came in dressed in a fine suit as always and sporting a fine little blonde on his arm. About 5 minutes after they took their seats, I seen the nice piece of tail get up and head off to the restrooms so I saw that as my opportunity for a quick interview. I jumped up and walked up and sat down to my old friend.........

How have you been Tom, hows the reitred life treating ya?




Hey Merlin, I'm great. A lot of work at the office, we had some big cases and we were able to convict some people... It's been fantastic. I must admit that I still go to the gym regularly to keep my shape and help the guys. Now the only part of the hobby is training. Glad you asked.




Do you miss fighting yet?




I'll always do but maybe as time goes by I'll miss it less. Of course that there's always a feeling of stepping back into the cage and throw it all again. I honestly had that feeling once in a while. So yes, I miss it but I expect it to slowly vanish.




Any thoughts of returning to the Fallen Champions ring?




Yeah, I would probably return to FC if I ever step back into the ring. I heard there were some young bucks challenging me around for a fight and I politely refused to kick their ass but you never know. I was supposed to retire after my back to back losses to Conan. But King came by asking for a real retirement fight hoping that I would leave with a victory and the proper treatment of a official retirement fight. It would definitely depend on a lot of factor and I could fight again, but as time goes by that chance gets slimmer.




You were recently inducted into the Almost Heroes Hall, how do you feel about that?




Well I heard aboout it... It's good to be remembered, though I feel that I did most of my job when Fallen Champions wasn't that big. I took several fights close to each other because I loved to enter the cage and fight for the fans. Most of those guys still talk to me on twitter and they ask if I could come back. I don't know if I'll ever get that status, but I'm happy with what I accomplished in such a short time in my career







Have you been keeping up with the org, and do you like the direction that it is heading?




Yeah, I mean... I've been kind of forgotten by the directors until now but I always checked the events online and I supported Nikolay while he had his fights over. I got mad at the bad decision that gave Shadow a win but I celebrated both of his wins right there with him. It was great to see that crowd again thoses times and I still receive some good feeback on my twitter account specially. I like that FC is becoming a better org as time goes by and competitions gets tougher. I honestly see a bright future for the org and I'm glad I was part of it in the very beginning and I'll always be the first lightweight champion. So you can't take that away from me, even if you steal the belt I have in my home. That's written on history books.




Do you have any favorite fighters to watch?




Freedom is a great fighter and I believe a fight between him and Nikolay would definitely be a great one. I also like Gatherer's performances as well as Khan's. Napolitano has nasty knees and I believe that the LW title is in good hands with Compton. He's doing great so far and his skills are really top notch. If he manages to improve what he already has, I only see him losing the belt when he decides to move to another org.




How do you think is going to win between Clendennon and Matoshin tonight?




I believe that Matoshin will keep the fight standing for the majority of the time if not the whole fight. He'll be able to use his game there and get the victory. Both guys are great and I'm glad to watch this fight here ringside with the fans. We'll definitely have a great time together in Hilo.




Thanks for the minute man, anything else you would like to add?

I'd like to appreciate the attention and all the support from the fans of Fallen Champions. They supported me through every fight I had and it was a great thing to become champion in front of them. They still give me a lot of love and I can't thank them enough. They have a campaing since I retired that goes on everyday on twitter and usually gets the trending topics: #CirustotheHOF. Once again I appreciate the support and hope we get to meet each other anytime. I'm planning a transfer of my office to Bahamas so I would be closer to Hilo and able to attend more events. See you all

[theking04]

Tonight, from the Pipeline Arena in Hilo, we are LIVE for Fallen Champions: Lost Legends 35. We have an action packed line up for tonight, and below we will look into the upcoming match ups as well as make predictions on who we think might take the win.



Thioon "Amarrão" Phitch (3-3) Vs Nathan Porter (2-1)

-Phitch by TKO (Strikes)-



Karl Eriksson (0-2) Vs "Thumbs Up" Pekka Kaukalo (5-5)

-Eriksson by KO (Punch)-



Jim Dandy (6-5) Vs "Rampage" Matthew Beaver (9-4)

-Dandy by Unanimous Decision-



"The Gilead Gunslinger" Will Dearborn (10-3) Vs Ifeanny Isa (5-2)

-Ifeanny Isa by KO (Head Kick)-



Pops Cama (10-5) Vs Bors "The Elder" Ban (6-2)

-Cama by KO (Punch)-



"Dragon" Boca Naga (10-5) Vs Bolo "Mister B" Young (5-0)



The man with the best hair in martial arts, Boca Naga will re-enter the Fallen Champions cage on Friday night. Naga suffered a decision loss in his last fight, and will want a win to rebuild his reputation here. Boca looks to take opponents down and beat them up, and constantly looks for opportunities to finish the fight.

Mister B has trained MMA for years, but only made his professional debut in September. Since then, he has went 5-0, finishing every opponent with strikes. Young is dangerous from every position, having finished his last two opponents from both the ground and the clinch. To beat him, you must be able to dominant him in one aspect of the game, which will be no easy task.



A difficult one to predict, given the places Young might be able to finish a fight from. I imagine this fight will go crumbling to the floor at some stage. Even though Naga is a good wrestler, I think Young will capitalise on a mistake and that's where they will end up. After working him over with GnP, I predict a Young win.

-Young by TKO (Strikes)-



Tom Waits (8-4) Vs Julio "The Juggernaut" El Torro (6-0)



Tom Waits didn't have the ideal start in MMA. Going 2-4 in his first 6, it didn't really seem like he would amount to much. No one expected him to bounce back with a 6 fight winning steak, including a KO at FC 45. Waits is a very solid Muay Thai striker with very accurate kicks and dangerous knees inside the clinch.

The Juggernaut is a ground and pound specialist. Finishing all 6 of his opponents with punches, in the first round, he is not a man you want to be across the cage from. To some, such a nickname might come across a little self absorbed, but when you look at his abilities, they describe El Torro perfectly.



In another piece of great match making, this should be a barn burner. El Torro will want to take the fight to the ground, work Waits over with ground and pound and perhaps look for a submission. Waits will want to keep the fight on the feet, and if El Torro comes in for a takedown, punish him from the clinch. My prediction is that The Juggernaut will be took powerful, and will take the fight down before finishing with his patented ground and pound.

-El Torro by TKO (Strikes)-



"The Wicker Man" Roman Kersikov (8-0) Vs "Masterbater" Freddy Lee (14-6)



Roman Kersikov has tasted only success in his pro MMA career, having gone 8-0 inside the cage. In his last fight, Roman won the Immortals New York Featherweight Championship, and has relinquished it to get the honour of competing in Fallen Champions. Kersikov's style is to take the fight down when he can. Once on the ground, he will try and work his opponent over with ground and pound, then work for a submission. One strange note in his career is in 2012, when he faced his own brother in a Heavyweight contest, winning by submission. Peculiar to say the least.

Freddy Lee is a veteran of Mixed Martial Arts in New York, and has a lot of fights under his belt. Last November, he made is FC debut, winning by TKO. One month later, he mirrored his first by added another TKO to his resume. In the cage, sometimes Lee can be a bit tentative. He can lose rounds by allowing his opponent to dictate the pace. An opponent thinks they are in control, then BOOM, Lee comes out with a head kick to change the game.



This is actually a very difficult fight to call. If Kersikov can take the fight to the mat, somewhere we haven't really seen Lee, then he might be able to tire him out a bit and earn some rounds. Kersikov is no slouch on the feet either, but I don't feel that he wants to trade with someone as devastating as Lee. One interesting thing to note is that Kersikov is only travelling to Hilo the day before the fight. You have to imagine he may still have some jet lag afterwards. I think this will come down to the takedown defence of Lee, and I think he'll be able to keep the fight up.

-Lee by TKO/KO (Specifically being set up by a headkick)-



Razor Maya (12-4) Vs "The Deliverer Of Siam" Nai Khanom Tom (8-3)



The former Fallen Champions Heavyweight Champion, Razor Maya's last fight did not go the way he planned. After a dominant 5 fight winning streak, each being finished inside allotted time, Maya, despite dominating the fight early on, suffered a TKO loss to Purple Aki. Now, he comes back looking to get back to winning ways, and steak a claim at earning his belt back.

Nai Khanom Tom is a Thailand native, using the Thai boxing style which made his country infamous. Stepping into this fight, Tom is 4-0 in FC, winning his last two fights by TKO. Going up against the former champion is a very big deal, and a win here will put him right in the title picture to face the Heavyweight Champion, whom he has shared the cage with twice in his professional career.



With both men being Muay Thai specialists, this fight is guaranteed to be a spectacular spectacle. Despite both men holding great standards of wrestling and jiu jitsu, history tells us that these guys will want to trade shots on the feet. Between them they have 4 post fight bonuses, and you can only imagine that one, if not both, will add another to their trophy cabinet on Friday Night.



If I have to make a prediction, I would say Razor Maya by KO, based solely on the fact that he's been at the top of the ladder in Fallen Champions and succeeded, while this is Nai's first shot at the big stage.

-Razor Maya by KO (Punch)-



"Bastard" Torrelio Sacana (16-4) Vs Tim "Larix" Askarian (11-5)



At Lost Legends 14, these two warriors met each other in the cage for the first time. Sacana managed to take the fight down straight away, and worked on submissions until he finally locked one in, 6 minutes into the first round.



The second showdown took place just 2 months ago, at Fallen Champions 44. Askarian managed to keep the fight standing and get off some offence early, but a missed kick saw the fight go back to the floor, where Sacana executed the fight as a complete mirror image of their first encounter, working for submissions until one finally finished.



Torrelio Sacana, 16-4, is an outstanding jiu jitsu player with submission finishes to his name. In his last fight, he had a 13 fight win streak halted by Tyson Kahn, and his Light Heavyweight belt snatched away from him. The most impressive thing about Sacana is his improved ground and pound. In his last 5 wins, he has finished opponents with shots on the ground.



Tim Askarian, 11-5, is a Muay Thai kickboxing expert who is 9-3 under the Fallen Champions promotional banner. Opponents have been met by heavy hands, with 7 of them being stopped within the scheduled distance. "Larix" can usually keep the fight standing, a place an adversary doesn't want to be, which allows him to avoid the ground positions where he shows most of his weaknesses.



If Askarian can finally fight off the takedowns of Sacana, this fight should be very interesting, but the smart money goes on a 3rd submission victory for the former champion.

-Sacana by Submission (Kimura)-

[theking04]

LIVE from The Pipeline Arena in the centre of Hilo, we return for the second night in a row for Fallen Champions 50.



Last night we some fantastic fights, with none going the distance. The highlight was the absolute war between Askarian and Sacana. Askarian kept the fight standing, brushed up an insane amount of takedown attempts from Sacana, and managed to land damaging shots on the feet. It wasn't until Sacana FINALLY managed to drag the fight to the floor, that he come back from a losing fight to secure a submission. These guys put on a classic for the final fight of their trilogy, and despite losing all 3, you have to think that Askarian showed enough improved to convince everything that some day, he WILL defeat Sacana.



But enough about last night, what's important is tonight, and the Super Heavyweight title which is on the line. Without further adieu, lets move on to the predictions and previews.



Rolf Karlsson (1-1) Vs Sebastien Chabal (9-15)

-Karlsson by KO (Punch)-



Kenpachi Zaraki (5-6-1) Vs Chris "The Nightmare" Palmer (4-1)

-Palmer by TKO (Strikes)-



Stu "Octo" Diat (8-6) Vs Chris "Big Dog" Edwards (6-4)

-Edwards by Submission (Armbar)-



Nick Robinson (8-3) Vs IceMan Jones (4-1)

-Robinson by TKO (Punches)-



"Massive" Matthew Lucas (6-2) Vs Josh "Lemon" Lyman

-Lucas by KO (Punch)-



Bruce "Black Dynamite" Leroy (6-2) Vs Markus Fittz (8-3)



Black Dynamite was looking like a potential title challenger in FC after going 5-1 in his first 6 fights. Last fight out, he was bested by Dominickoy Palhares when he was tied up in a submission. Leroy looks to fight in the clinch and beat up his opponents on the inside. His main downside is the ground game, and he wants to avoid being on his back at all costs.

Fittz also likes to keep the fight standing, and wants to keep his opponent busy in defending his combos. He went 5-0 in FC upon debut, and is now 7-2, so his abilities are tried and tested. In this fight, he will want to land on his opponent as much as possible, and do everything to ensure that they don't enter the clinch.

In my prediction, Bruce Leroy will be in trouble against a wrestler, but with a striker like Fittz, he should be able to take care of business. I don't see either really smashing the opponent though, so I say that Leroy takes it over the distance.

-Leroy by Unanimous Decision-



"The Dark Prince" Echart Tolle (19-5) Vs "Temujin" Genghis Khan (13-5)



Taking on Echart Tolle, you will not be surprised by his strategy. Defeating 14 of his opponents by submission, he truly is a master on the ground. While he has significant issues on the feet, most noted from 2 of his last 3 fights being a KO loss, Tolle is very capable when it comes to finishing a fight. One thing to note is that his confidence may be quite low following a submission loss to James Madness at FC 47. How will a Jiu Jitsu master return from a submission loss?

Like Tolle, Genghis Khan doesn't bring anything unpredictable to he table. The goal for this man is to tie up, put his opponent against the cage, and break him down with hard punches in the clinch. This has worked for him on many many occasions, most noteably during his reign as Middleweight Champion where he defended the best twice before losing it to Johnny Freedom over the distance in his last time out.

This is a close fight. I think that it will all come down to Khan's ability to avoid being taken down whilst in the clinch. The fight will almost undoubtedly end up as a grappling match, but I feel that the former champ will be able to stay vertical and break down his foe.

-Khan by TKO (Strikes)-



Dominickoy "Hilo Kid" Palhares (13-8) Vs Gegardio "Killer " Musasio (7-1)



Diminickoy Palhares might not seem impressive at 3-3 inside the FC cage, but his opponents have truly been at a very high level. With wins over Bruce Leroy, Markus Fittz and former title challenger Bj Penn, he is no push over in the division. His only losses have come from Torelio Sacana and Tim Askarian, who both showed an absolute master class of skills last night, so you can be forgiven of the losses. Palhares will always look for submissions, but can be susceptible to getting tagged on the feet.

Another victim of Scana, Musasio has just one loss in his professional career. Debuting in FC Champions at just 1-0, he has grown up under the promotion and shown why he is truly one of the best to enter their cage. Winning the 205 title in just his 4th professional fight, he has made his mark on the promotion already. With great striking and jiu jitsu, no opponent is safe against the former champion.

This is a GREAT fight, and it's very difficult to pick a winner...yet again. I think that Musasio's submission defence will be the key to this fight, and he will be able to do enough damage during his stand up opportunities to finish the fight

-Musasio by TKO (Punches)-



"Eating Panties" Bobby Roach (9-4) Vs Blas "Sonic" Kavcic (11-3)



When these two faced off last time, it was a war on the ground with Bobby Roach taking the advantage. Late in the second round, Kavcic managed to sink in a Rear Naked Choke to get the win. The fight earned Kavcic a submission of the night honour, and both men a fight of the night bonus.



With a nick name that just screams professionalism, Bobby Roach is a veteran in Fallen Champions. Winning 6 of his 9 contests, with a Submission and Fight of the night bonus, he has proven that he is a solid fighter, and can be a threat to anyone he faces. His ability to take opponents down at ease is almost unrivalled, and once on the ground he works for submissions. With 4 of his last 5 going the distance, it might be that his submission elitism has run it's course, and it's time for "Eating Panties" to begin developing in some other areas of the sport.

Blas Kavcic is another Jiu Jitsu fighter, stopping his first 7 opponents by submission (including his opponent, Bobby Roach). Blas only has 3 losses on his record, with every one of them being a stoppage loss to Joseph Ely (the first of which being a 135 title match). Each time Kavcic is looking to build a championship run, Ely has stood in his way, and you have to believe that it could be sapping the motivation from him. A win here might put Kavcic's name back up there again, with his last fight being a submission victory. A loss might seal his fate as a "never will be" in Fallen Champions.

This fight is great, because both fights have been inconsistent since their last match. They have both improved in various areas, and there is no doubt we'll see that on display when the hit the mat. None the less, I feel that Blas Kavcic might be the slightly better BJJ player, and will take this one as a result.

-Kavcic by Submission (Kimura)-



"The Hoarder" Hunter Gatherer (15-2) Vs "Monster" Abdoul Murquite (15-7) - Super Heavyweight Title

Hunter Gatherer has beem a force to be reckoned with since his MMA debut. All of his victories came by way of (T)KO, and in his career he has racked up an impressive 3 Fight of the Night bonuses, and SIX KO of the Nights. Gatherer is a knock out specialist, and you will want to be bringing something very different and original if you want to take him out. Gong 4-0 in FC, including 3 title defences, is never an easy task, and the champion is looking to extend that streak here tonight.

Murquite likes the fight to take place on the mat, and his goal is to submit his opponent. With a brown belt in Jiu Jitsu, he holds 10 submission victories to his name. An impressive combination is his Ground and Pound. If the lock isn't quite working out, he can always switch to simply punching his opponent in the face until they either verbally submit, or their body begins to fail them.

I feel that Gatherer is just too dominant, and in this fight he will do what he does best...knock his opponent out.

-Gatherer by KO (Punch)

Is a Pain it seems the Org is now without this amazing previews.

[theking04]

Hey guys yes it is me, King and I am happy to be back bringing you event preivews for Rising Sun again! As you know Dean and I recently took control of the org again and are looking to get it back on track as it has kinda fell apart as of late! I hope you guys enjoy everything that we are doing and if you have any comments feel free to shoot me a pm! Last weeks event was just kind of thrown together but this weeks looks to be one of the best events in the orgs history! So lets get it underway........

170lbs-Walt Disney(3-2)vsGreg Madison(8-4)-Madison by UD

205lbs-Day Man(2-2)vsKarl Thompson(1-1)-Thompson by (t)KO in the 3rd Rd

135lbs-Buggy Clown(6-5)vsFinnick Odair(2-2)-Odair by (t)KO in the 1st Rd

265lbs-Chris Palmer(5-2)vsStefano Dufinbeger(8-7)-Palmer by (t)KO in the 2nd Rd

205lbs-Harry Pigeon(11-8)vsPietro Donatelli(8-3)-Pietro by (t)KO in 3rd Rd

265bs-Razor Maya(13-5)vsCyrus The Virus(10-4)-Maya by (t)KO in the 1st Rd

185lbs-Baraka Simengwa(10-8)vsLoholt Pendragon(11-7)-Pendragon by SD

135lbs-Rajesh Koothrappali(12-10)vsBlas Kavcic(12-4)-Rajesh by UD

205lb Title-C.Doom Unit(12-3)vsChris Kampman(11-2)

In our Co Main Event and first Title fight of the evening we have the Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight Champion Doom Unit looking for his first title defense. The Challenger is the number 1 contender and ultra tough Chris Kampman who has taken out his first 3 opponents inside the Rising Sun Ring, and look to be in the best shape of his life yesterday at the weigh ins. Kampman is a dynamic striker who relies heavily on his Sensational Boxing and he has some serious power in both hands. Doom Unit is very well rounded and is comfortable where ever the fight my take place. Both of these fighters are coming in on 4 fight win streaks, and have the skill set to turn this into an absolute war. The winner will come down to who comes in with the best gameplan and is able to execute that gameplan, but I have a hard time picking against Unit as he has showed that little extra edge but don't count Kampman out either.

185lb Title-Tom Waits(10-4)vsC.Johnny Freedom(15-2)

In our Main event of the evening we have the highly thought of Middleweight title on the line in what is sure to be an early pick for fight of the night. Tom Waits has been on a tear since joining the Rising Sun roster, having taken out 3 of the top ranked fighters in the division and now he sets his sights on the belt. Since beating Genghis Khan for the Title Freedom hasn't showed any signs of slowing down and has defended the title 3 times already beating some of the best fighters in the org. Both of this fighters have great skill sets and are coming in on impressive win streaks, but one man will go home with the gold and the other will go home empty handed! Freedom does a great job of mixing up his strikes throwing a lot of kicks to go with his powerful punches. Waits also loves to stand and bang but relies more on his Sensational Boxing skill, and has used his natural knockout power to finish 7 of his fights by knockout! I think this fight is going to be one of the greatest fights ever seen in the orgs history and I can not wait, and it really is hard to pick a winner!

[theking04]

http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1393509097rs4.jpg

Hello fight fans, King here bringing you some great MMA action from the Shinjuku Indoor Arena in Tokyo, where 20 of the best Rising Sun fighters will be competing in what is going to be the 100th event in the promotions history! We have the Super Heavyweight and the Welterweight Titles on the line as well as 8 other world class matches up, and this should be one of the best cards yet. So lets get the action underway shall we.....

155lbs-Reza Katebi(8-9)vsRing Vinayagamoorthy(3-3)-Reza by UD

265lbs-Stan Marsh(8-2)vsOrlando Sax(7-1)-Sax by Sub in the 1st Rd

155lbs-Harvey Specter(8-4-1)vsDamien Lok(9-5)-Specer by SD

265lbs-Vaimaa Fatu(10-9)vsEvan Horizon(7-2)-Horizon by (t)KO in 2nd Rd

185lbs-Tarik Gibson(11-4)vsKisuke Urahara(9-8-2)-Gibson by (t)KO in 1st Rd

145lbs-Tommy DeVito(13-4)vs"Uncle Monty"Montague Withnail(11-4)

We kick our Main Card off with a very exciting Featherweight match up, Tommy DeVito is looking to get back into title contention after his razor sharp decision loss to Matoshin back at FC 51 and a win in this one would do just that. Montague Withnail was successful in his promotional debute submitting the always tough Alex Hopkins in the first round, and he will be looking to use that grappling to earn another victory. This one will be a classic Striker vs Grappler match up, DeVito is an aggressive Boxer who sets up his punches with his nasty leg kicks and has the power to put anyone to sleep. Withnail makes his gameplan no secret and starts looking for a double leg as soon as the bell rings, and if he gets the fight to the mat he is able to just suck the life out of his opponent transitioning at win and landing nasty ground n pound! DeVito has stuffed almost 80% of his opponenets take down attempts so if he is able to do some damage and keep the fight on the feet then he'll be able to pull the win out, but if he ends up on his back it is going to be a long night for him.

145lbs-Craig"Cee-Chop"Clendennon(14-2)vsKraal The Bouncer(13-9)

In our next fight of the night we have another Featherweight Match up and this one will be between these two ex Champions who are both looking to get back to the title. Kraal The Bouncer won the title back at FC 32 but was unable to defend it successfully in his next fight. Craig Clendennon won the belt at FC 46 and was able to defend it once before losing it in his last fight against the current Champion Timmey The Gangster in a devastating decision loss. Craig wants nothing more than to get back and get a rematch for the title, and I think that he has the skill set and now the drive to get the job done. Kraal has been hanging around the middle of the division for some time now, but can't seem to put together enough wins to get back to the top. Both of these two guys are strikers Kraal relies more on his Boxing while Clendennon likes to use that nasty clinchwork of his where he batters his opponents with knees and elbows at will. This one is a rematch of the FC 37 Main event and I have a feeling that it is going to turn out the same way and that is Craig getting his hand raised!

265lbs-Purple Aki(10-1)vs"The Deliverer of Siam"Nai Khanom Tom(9-3)

Next up we have these two Heavyweight monsters facing off in what will be their third match up but the first under the Rising Sun banner. Purple Aki saw early success in RS winning the title then went on to lose it and break his undefeated streak against the current Champion, but bounced back with a nice head kick victory over top contender Ricky Fontaine. Nai Khanom Tom has been on a tear since signing with RS and has won all 5 of his fights so far, and a win against the ex Champion will surely earn him a title shot himself. Both of these fighters love to stand and bang and both guys have some serious power, this fight could have some fireworks in it and I can't really see it going to the judges. I have a hard time picking a winner in this one, as I think it will come down to which fighter is able to connect cleanly with the others chin first!

170lb Title-Juan Pablo Green(13-7)vsC.Dominick Napolitano(14-5)

In our Co Main Event of the evening we have the Welterweight Championship on the line when Champ Dominick Napolitano will look to defend his title for the first time since December! He fought one time in Tokyo since then, but is also under new management so it will be interesting to see if he can maintain the same form that helped him earn the title. Juan Pablo Green fell short in his promotional debute but has since then won his last two including taking out top recruit Terry Toddler in his last outting, now he has set his sights on the gold. Green is equally dangerous no matter where the fight takes places but he prefers to stand and trade with his opponenets and he has the power to put anyone to sleep. Napolitano comes into this contest riding a 7 fight win streak, but this will be one of his toughest test to date. Dominick generally throws a lot of kicks to try to set up his Boxing game, and while he may not finish a lot of opponents his aggressive style always earns him the judges favor. I think that his fight will be a war and is a perfect match up of styles, but I think that if Green comes in with a good gameplan and is able to stick to it then he will be able to earn the victory and take home the belt.

265lb+-C.Hannibal Lyons(7-0)vsBolo"Mister B"Young(7-0)

WOW what a Main Event that we have for you tonight folks, not only is the Super Heavyweight Title on the line, but one of these undefeated BEAST are going to be losing their perfect record! Bolo Young has been destroying his opponents since joining the RS roster, and all 7 of his career victories have been by way of Knockout up until this point in his career! Hannibal Lyons has also finished all 7 of his fights by strikes, and even took out two ex Champions on his way to taking out the Champion Hunter in his last fight to earn the Belt. Both of these men have had very very similar careers and I think that it is just awesome that they are meeting in this fashion for all of our fans to see, this is truely going to be a clash of the Titans! Both guys have huge power, good chins, good cardio, good management, so this one is going to come down to who wants it more and who is able to land the shots that they want first! This one could either turn into the fight of the year or the Knockout of the Year very quickly, but either way it is going to be a great show for the fans!

There you have it folks an absolutely action packed night of fights on hand, and we could very well see two new Champions crown on this night. We recently signed a new partnership with Milwaukee's Best Nutrition, and the rumor is if your fighter gives them a thank you in their post fight speech then Groove will send them a nice little bonus for the love. Also make sure to check in with Medieval Odds for all the match up odds, and earn some money off of your favorite Rising Sun fighters!

Ummm, a soft lad? those are fighting words my friend!

[theking04]

There has been a lot of things going on in the Rising Sun Community as of late, we have had the Invictus merger, we has open the possibility for some very exciting match ups. We had started hosting events in the LA area, and are looking to host 2 to 3 events there a month. Now we are putting on our first PPV and this is very exciting for any org. The Main Event for this PPV is going to be one of the all time greats coming out of retirement to take on everyones favorite underdog and a fighter who is making quiet a name for himself. Yeah that is right guys with have Jeremy Tonal(35-8) ex pound for pound and Light Heavyweight Great, GAMMA Hall of famer, notable Knockouts of Diggs, Kane, Glory, and Rei taking on "The African Assassin"Smokudju Womba(42-7-1) 2013 Fighter of the Year, #5 Pound for Pound Fighter, notable wins over Diggs, Rei, Al Din, Hearts, Murdock, and Narushima. This is going to be a battle of two fighters who many consider two of the greatest Light Heavyweights of all time, as well as two of the greatest fighters in Tycoon history. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with both of this fighters and here is what they had to say.........

The Hits Like a Girl Training facility isn't a long haul for me as it is only a few miles from my house, as I was walking in I ran into Kelly McGrady on my way in and she pointed me in the right direction and told me that Womba was just finishing up with some Submission Sparring. I thanked her and couldn't help but give her a brief glance over my shoulder as she was walking to her car. I walked into a very Modern building which seemed to have the best of everything, but was a little too pink for my liking. I since Womba standing over by the Grappling mats talking with Famed BJJ Instructor Jerrell Bishop, and I made my way over to them. As I approached Jerrell walked off and Womba greeted me with a handshake, and we had a sit on some mats stacked up along one of the walls.

How are you doing today Smokudju?

I've been better. Been slacking a bit in the gym lately but the fights getting close so it's time to get to work!

You are considered one of the greatest Light Heavyweights of all time, and there has been talks that you are considered one of the GOATs of Tycoon, what are you thoughts on that?

It's pretty cool to know that I've made my mark on the world. I came into this a couple years later than most guys, at 20 years old and as the underdog being a BJJ player. Hopefully it shows that BJJ guys can make it to the top and we can start seeing a few more guys climb the ranks

What made you wanna take this fight against Tonal, and how to you feel about his legacy?

I declined this fight when it was first offered to me. Then I started thinking about his legacy and how it'd be great to fight a legend like Tonal. So I changed my mind and signed the contract to fight him.

A lot of people are saying that you have nothing to gain from this fight, and everything to lose, do you think that Tonal will prove to be the same fighter as old or just a mirror image of his former greatness?

I do have nothing to gain and a lot to lose but that doesn't bother me. I'm not here for fame or money anymore, I just want to fight tough guys. I don't think Tonal has slowed down much at all, he's still a very dangerous fighter. The only thing changed is the fighters around him have gotten better.

If you win this fight are you going to seek out a rematch with Bennett or go after Styles?

Either one works for me. Personally I want the Bennett rematch. I know I can beat him. Tonal isn't to be overlooked though, this dude is dangerous.

Anything else you would like to add before you finish?

Someone is getting finished. Win or lose

Thanks for your time man, and I can't wait to see this fight, Good Luck.

We made some more small talk about the weather then I seen myself out. The next day I hopped on my Jet The Fallen Champion and flew out to Finland and I made sure to pack my Milwaukee's Best Nutrition supplements so that way I wouldn't soft while I was away, I was surprised by how nice it was. It was my first visit by I always kinda pictured it looking like Russia, and being cold and snowing all the time. I drove what seemed like for ever up in the mountains, and finally pulled up to what looked like an old abandoned Warehouse. I walked inside and it was pretty nice inside with some newer equipment, and there were quite a few guys in there training I recognized a few of the faces as Top Heavyweight Daniel Silva and Evil Empire Champion Royston De Noteboom, but many of the faces were new to me. I spotted the 37 year old Tonal over giving tips to some of the younger guys who were working in a Boxing Ring, the guy reminds me of Randy Couture in how he has aged very well and you can't ever tell that he is getting up there in years.

How are you doing today Jeremy?

I'm doing great, thanks.

It has been almost a year and a half since you have stepped foot in the Cage, but the word is that you have still be training at a competitive level, what has kept you motivated for so long?

I still enjoy the training and especially the sparring so it's not hard to keep motivated. It's also very rewarding to see guys you help train do well in fights.

Do you think that Ring rust will be a factor?

It's possible, it's been quite a while and the game has changed a lot, but I think I have a solid plan.

The fighters these days seem to be that of a new breed, do you feel like you have the skill set to be able to compete?

I don't really think there's a new breed, most fighters seem to be about as skilled as they were when I was fighting. The big difference is that ground focused fighters seem to have figured out how to land takedowns consistently. Either way I think I still have the skills to compete with anyone.

You are widely considered not only the greatest Light Heavyweight of all time, but the Greatest Fighter of all time are you afraid of tarnishing your legacy with a loss?

Not at all. I've lost before and this time I'm fighting one of the best ever.

Have you been scouting Womba's ground game, and do you think that you'll be able to keep the fight standing were you have a clear advantage?

I have seen some of his fights and based on those I know that staying of the ground completely won't be easy. Luckily he's not the only wrestler in this fight.

Win, lose, or draw what are you plans after this fight. Are you planning on coming back to active competition or is this a once in a lifetime event? Is there any other match ups you would like to take?

It depends on how I perform and what options there are after the fight.

Anything else you would like to add before we go?

I want to thank Womba for taking the fight, I know he had plenty of options. I'm looking forward to it and hope we'll put on a good show.

Thanks Jeremy, I'll let you get back to work! Good Luck next week and I can't wait to see you back in action.

I made my way out, and after about an extra hour as I got lost about 3 times I made it back to airport and got back to Hilo. This is going to be a huge fight in the Tycoon community, and the biggest fight in Rising Sun's history.
