[Slappz]

[Guest]

Not gonna lie Crucible fights looks pretty sweet (all of em) and the logo as well.. nice.. I should have 2-3 guys joining one of them at some point; still not decided which one/s but be prepared for a disgusting amount of smack talk from my guys! haha

Crucible Fights: London - New Managers Guide Part. 1

 

- After your fighter has had his two first fights - win or lose - the basic clothing (magic white shirt and shorts) won't keep your morale up anymore -> you need to buy new clothing.

 

- Buying clothing from the stores (Highstreet) and using the new gear (Possessions) gives your fighter a small boost in morale every day (as long as the clothing quality is above 146 I believe). So keep changing the clothing to a new ones when they wear out.

 

- Less morale means less performance in fighting and in training!

[igorbyhenikov]

Crucible Fights: London - New Managers Guide Part. 2

 

Energy & Conditioning: Your energy & conditioning levels are one of the most important things in the game, so i highly suggest that you read this closely.

 

1. The concept of energy vs conditioning is relatively simple. Take your fighter as a car: Imagine your current energy value as the size of your car's gas tank and imagine conditioning as the efficiency of the engine. If you have a low level of conditioning then you will burn through each litre of gas more quickly. The smaller your gas tank was in the first place (your energy value), the less gas you have to burn in the first place and the quicker you will run out of gas completely.

 

2. Energy level affects your training quality too: Basically the less your fighter has energy the less gains he gets from a training session. Also, the lower your conditioning level the faster your energy goes down in training. Personally I don't let my fighters energy go below 90-95% and I always work their condition up to at least wonderful.

 

3. If your fighter's energy goes below 90% please remember to rest couple sessions before your warrior has full energy again! If you let the energy level go way down it's almost pointless to even train.

 

4. Current energy level and condition skill affects weight cutting. If you're at full energy you can cut more weight. The better your condition skill is the more you can cut weight. Simple! =)

 

5. Come with 100% energy to the fights! This should be a no-brainer : you don't want to fight exhausted unless you're actually trying to lose the fight. =) At your fighter's profile there is a black weight symbol in the upper right corner of the page above "edit fighter details". From there you can see how much you have to rest before your fighter is back @ 100%.

 

6. Increase STAMINA supplements helps you train your cardio up! You get better gains to cardio with using this but don't use it with anything other than cardio training. =)

 

7. Energy loss supplements helps you keep your energy up when you are training your skills! If your cardio is high and you use energy loss supplements, your energy wont go under 90% so easily.

[igorbyhenikov]

Crucible Fights: London - New Managers Guide Part. 3

 

Here is some basic stuff how to set sliders, one good thing to know is that it's almost never good to go 100 % in something. (Except 100 % stay standing if you want to stand up etc etc). If your guy has no standup and he is a ground fighter, you still should never go 100 % takedowns.

 

Dee Early made this guide list, so if you go on losing streak, please send your angry mails to him.

 

- to take a guy down - 5-20% takedowns

- to defend takedowns - 60-95% counter

- most of the time keep striking power from 0-80/90 (doing high power usually gasses you out, and makes you miss a lot of shots)

- dont be afraid to use "see how it goes" slider, but test with it to see the differences.

- on the ground, be a little active even if you want standups.

- keep your try to stand up slider between 0-50

- keep your try to break clinch between 0-35

- if you want a separation within the clinch (break clinch) sometimes a failed takeodwn results in a break up.

- leg kicks are very easy to land and body kicks take more energy

- keep combos to less than 30%

- stand up aggression should usually be under 80% more often under 60%

 

In the end, you have to test yourself what is the best way on your fighter to win fights, don't be afraid to be creative!

 

Im planning to send preview and news for our first event soon, so stay tuned!

Crucible Fights: London - Riot

It's time! First event of Crucible Fights: London's history. This card is full of speed, 8 of our 10 fights takes place in the featherweight division!

 

 

Under Card:

10. (145) Alex Murphy (0-2-0) vs Big Dawg (0-2-0)

Rumors are telling that Big Dawg will be struggling to make weight and Vladimir Putin (CEO of Crucible Fights: London) isn't happy about that. If rumors are true, someone will get fired.

Prediction: No contest

 

9. (145) Alpha Tree (0-0-0) vs Kauko Antero (1-1-0)

If the fight goes to the ground, it will be easy win for Alpha Tree.

Prediction: Tree by submission

 

8. (170) Josh Sleep (0-0-0) vs Leo Bambaleo Jr (0-0-0)

Two young and hungry fighters make their professional debuts. Who is hungrier?

Prediction: Bambaleo Jr by KO

 

7. (145) Nathan Donald Diaz (0-0-0) vs Ahmed Babilon Mamed (1-2-0)

Diaz is better fighter on paper, but anything can happen in MMA.

Prediction: Diaz by unanimous decision

 

6. (145) Sami Saarela (0-0-0) vs Fanny Chmelar (0-0-0)

Chmelar is predicted to be one of the big stars in the future, so Sami Saarela will have very hard night ahead of him.

Prediction: Chmelar by KO

 

5. (145) Fred Mason (1-0-0) vs Tom Dyson (0-0-0)

Dyson will destroy Mason in the first round..

Prediction: Dyson by KO

 

Main Card:

4. (145) James Dean Rockefeller (2-0-0) vs Justin Baldwin (1-0-0)

Rockefeller has everything that can make him a champion one day, tons of skill and potential, great manager and amazing training facilities. I'm excited to see if he can live up the hype that he has. People have seen Justin Baldwin more in the bar than in the gym, so this fight should not last more than 2 minutes.

Prediction: Rockefeller by whatever he wants

 

3. (205) Harley Royale (15-7-0) vs Aleksei Ljosha Putin (1-0-0)

Harley and Aleksei will settle their personal problems in the ring, legally. This should be fireworks.

Prediction: Aleksei by Head kick

 

2.

Co-Main Event

(145) Artair Dostan (4-0-0) vs Scott Roper (3-1-0)

Artair Dostan has impressive 4 fight win streak, so he is one of the top contenders to fight for the title, if he wins this fight, ofcourse. Roper has amazing ground skills, brown belt in BJJ proves that, so it's not a surprise that Dostan want's to keep this fight standing.

Prediction: Dostan by TKO (strikes)

 

1.

Main Event

(145) Tsutomu Miyazaki (4-0-1) vs Ron Phelps (1-0-0)

On paper, Miyazaki and Phelps are evenly matched, both are very talented wrestlers with tons of potential. Miyazaki has more experience, and is considered to be one of the future superstars in our organisation. Phelps has the size advantage, actually Miyazaki could fight in the bantamweight division, but i don't think that will be decisive factor in this fight. Winner will get guaranteed title shot.

Prediction: Miyazaki by unanimous decision

[igorbyhenikov]

Crucible Fights: Underground Preview

 

 

On Saturday June 8th, 2013 Crucible Fights: London brings the heat to The Underground in the form of a fight card of ten action packed bouts.

 

 

Main event:

 

- Heavyweight bout

Aster ”Doomday” Roid (3-0) vs. Busta ”Snake” Smirnov (2-2)

 

In the main event of the evening the 19-year old Israeli Aster Roid faces the 24-year old Russian Busta Smirnov in a clash of young heavyweight bruisers. Roid is primarily known as a striker, with two of his three wins coming by way of knockout, while Smirnov is better suited on the ground where he has scored both of his victories.

 

The superior wrestling of Roid could prove decisive in the fight, as he might be able to dictate where the fight takes place. Smirnov is known for his tough jaw and is capable of defeating Roid on the ground, but will it be enough to get past the striking prowess of Roid?

Prediction: Roid by (T)KO.

 

Co-Main event:

 

- Lightweight bout

George ”Machine Gun Kelly (1-0) vs. Michael ”Crackers” Cracknell (0-0)

 

In the co-main event Englishman Michael Cracknell makes his professional debut against the American George Kelly. Kelly is considered one of the more promising prospects around, and his management team is probably looking to add an easy win to his record in the debuting Cracknell, who might have something different in mind.

 

Kelly is a dangerous muay thai striker with heavy kicks and knees in his repertoire, as seen in his first round TKO debut in March. Cracknell is more of an unknown commodity, but is reported to possess strong boxing and defensive grappling skills and known as a banger in the gym. Can Cracknell score a debut victory, or will the promising Kelly start a run for greatness in his second professional bout?

Prediction: Kelly by (T)KO.

 

 

- Featherweight bout

Mario ”Jagatic” Maci (2-4) vs. Uebishe Lesnoe (1-0)

 

Six fight veteran Maci will look to get back on track against an impressive youngster in Uebishe Lesnoe. Maci is known primarily as a striker, while Lesnoe is a versatile perfomer with good takedown and submission skills.

Prediction: Lesnoe by submission.

 

 

- Welterweight bout

Mark ”Stungun” Stanton (1-0) vs. Mike ”Little Pony” Smith (0-2)

 

Determined wrestler Mike Smith faces smart striker Mark Stanton in a classic clash of styles. Stanton is a proven finisher, while Smith has yet to taste victory in his professional career, but has the wrestling skills to control the fight if he can catch his opponent.

Prediction: Stanton by (T)KO.

 

 

- Lightweight bout

”The Fitch” Jason Turner (1-0) vs. Oliver ”No Love” Smith (0-0)

 

Jason Turner will put you on your back and keep you there all night long. Or that’s what he says. Oliver Smith is something of an all-rounder, and will look to prevent that fate from happening.

Prediction: Turner by decision.

 

 

- Light Heavyweight bout

Raopi ”Dodgeball” Tuuri (1-0) vs. Shane Walsh (0-0)

 

The Finn Raopi Tuuri puts his powerful, if sloppy, striking up against Shane Walsh’s American wrestling. Tuuri will want to connect early and often if he wants to avoid spending fifteen minutes underneath Walsh.

Prediction: Walsh by decision.

 

 

- Heavyweight bout

Tread Frecu (1-1) vs. Reijo ”Repa” Rento (0-0)

 

Jiu-jitsu specialist Frecu will look to add another tap out victory to his resume against the well-rounded Reijo Rento, who will have a significant advantage on the feet as well as in the wrestling department.

Prediction: Rento by (T)KO.

 

 

- Lightweight bout

Callum ”Irish Whip” McMaster (0-0) vs. Anatoli Tolja Putin (0-0)

 

Mirror match! Two young muay thai specialists face off for bragging rights, but also, more importantly, for their first professional victory. Who will climb on the cage and raise their arms, and who will leave the cage bloodied and beaten?

Prediction: Who knows. McMaster by Irish Whip.

 

 

- Light heavyweight bout

Nick ”N Cheese” Mack (0-0) vs. Walter ”Heisenberg” White (0-0)

 

Famous meth cook and dealer Walter White makes his MMA debut against the whimsically nicknamed Nick ”N Cheese” Mack in the light heavyweight division. Mack is a jiu-jitsu specialist, while White is mostly known as a chemistry teacher. It turns out, however, that ”Heisenberg” has excellent wrestling and ground skills.

Prediction: White by decision. Shouldn’t you arrest the guy?

 

 

- Lightweight bout

Ville ”Paakkari” Paakkari (0-0) vs. Kim ”Dictator” Jungho (0-1)

 

In the curtain jerker of the evening Korean muay thai specialist Kim Jungho faces versatile Finnish prospect Ville Paakkari. Jungho is known to struggle on the ground, and Paakkari has the skills to take him there.

Prediction: Paakkari by (T)KO.

Crucible Fights: Einemo vs Rockefeller Preview

 

 

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/13708572241368105827CFA8%20copy.jpg

 

 

On Friday June 14th, 2013 the Underground in London will see the first ever Crucible Fights: London champion crowned in the main event between featherweights Arild Einemo and James Dean Rockefeller. Nine other fights are also featured, and will be previewed below.

 

Predictions are personal opinions of the writer and do not reflect the views of the company.

 

Main card:

 

 

Main event:

 

 

- Featherweight championship bout

 

Arild Einemo (6-2) vs. ”The Slender Man” James Dean Rockefeller (3-0)

 

The main event of the evening features two of the most promising young featherweights fighting today looking to capture their first championship belt. Arild Einemo, though only slightly older than his opponent, is the more experienced fighter, and has also dabbled in professional kickboxing, and as such has the advantage if the fight stays on the feet - four of Einemo’s six victories have come by way of knock out.

 

Rockefeller is undefeated in three professional bouts with two finishes under his belt. A violent young fighter, the American is known for his excellent wrestling skills and ruthless ground and pound work, and his goal in the fight is undoubtedly to take Einemo down. A significant heigh and reach advantage might aid Rockefeller in staying out of trouble while looking for the opportunity to score one of his big takedowns.

 

Though neither man is a slouch anywhere the fight goes, both men have pronounced strengths where the other man has weaknesses, which could result in an entertaining bout. Einemo is a purple belt in jiu-jitsu, so he will be able to defend himself if the fight does go to the ground, and is known for his good clinch game, while Rockefeller knows his way around the striking game and is known for his good kicking game, both defensively and offensively. This one could go the distance.

 

Prediction: Rockefeller by decision to win the CF:L Featherweight title.

 

Co-main event:

 

- Featherweight bout

 

”The Little Girl Murderer” Tsutomu Miyazaki (4-0-2) vs. Ron Phelps (1-0-1)

 

In a fight that could provide the next contender to fight the winner of the evening’s main event, two grappling specialists face off to determine the dominant one.

 

Miyazaki, the more experienced fighter with six fights on his resume, has a slight edge in the wrestling department, while Phelps outranks him as a jiu-jitsu practitioner, making the fight very much even. Phelps has a size advantage in terms of height and weight, while Miyazaki will be able to draw on his greater experience to gain an edge.

 

Prediction: Miyazaki by decision.

 

- Middleweight bout

 

”Metal Fang” Nikolai Dzhumagaliev (3-0) vs. Charlie Barone (1-1)

 

In the middleweight division Kazakhstani knock out artist Nikolai Dzhumagaliev faces off with the jiu-jitsu specialist from United Kingdom, Charlie Barone. Though Barone is known to have some skills in all areas, chances are he will want to get the fight to the ground, as Dzhumagaliev’s strength is in the striking game, as evidenced by his two knock out victories.

 

It is unclear, however, how good Barone’s takedown skills are, as his one pro victory came very quickly after pulling guard and landing a sweep. His opponent’s takedown defense seems solid, so he will need to work diligently to get him on his back, or even into his guard. If Barone cannot instigate any sort of grappling, it might be a long night for him.

 

Prediction: Dzhumagaliev by (T)KO.

 

- Welterweight bout

 

”The Beast of the Bastille” Guy Georges (5-1) vs. Dana ”Da Boss” White (1-1)

 

Another in the classic grappler versus striker category, the welterweight division presents a match up where Guy Georges, a submission specialist, fights power puncher Dana White.

 

Though White has solid defensive wrestling skills, Georges is a specialist at getting fights to the floor and ending them there, with good takedowns at his disposal. White will need to catch him early and often on the feet in order to get the victory.

 

Prediction: Georges by submission.

 

- Heavyweight bout

 

Adam Stanislav (4-1) vs. Benjamin ”The Crush” Price (1-2)

 

In the heavyweight division, two versatile youngsters face off for glory and brain cells. Adam Stanislav is known primarily as a striker, but has also recorded a submission victory in his pro career. Benjamin Price is known for his good kicks and solid wrestling skills, and can compete standing or take the fight to the floor.

 

Both guys can take a punch and compete in several areas, so it will be interesting to see where the fight goes. Neither fighter has a particularly strong element to their game, but many competent sides, which could end up providing us an entertaining, all-round fight.

 

Prediction: Stanislav by (T)KO.

 

Preliminary card:

 

- Lightweight bout

 

”Westendin Vapahtaja” Kristus Koistinen (2-0-1) vs. Carlos ”Oops” The Cannon (0-0)

 

The lightweight bout of the evening pits Kristus Koistinen’s jiu-jitsu against the debuting Carlos The Cannon’s wrestling. The former wrestler, The Cannon has the advantage of probably being able to dictate the fight, but Koistinen will likely have an advantage on the feet and on the ground.

 

Prediction: Koistinen by submission.

 

- Welterweight bout

 

David Miller (1-0) vs. Erik ”Falcon Punch” Gustafsson (0-0)

 

Swedish up and comer Erik Gustafsson makes his professional debut against hard-hitting Englishman David Miller, who looks to put together his first professional winning streak. Miller is known for his excellent boxing skills and toughness, while Gustafsson is reported to have great muay thai striking at his disposal, but we will see how he fares in his debut.

 

Prediction: Gustafsson by decision.

 

- Middleweight bout

 

Chael ”p” Sonnen (1-0) vs. Juunas Sikio (0-0)

 

In a fight that pits two wrestlers against each other, American Chael Sonnen faces Finn Juunas Sikio. Sikio makes his professional debut, but is reportedly a decent boxer, too, which could make the difference in the bout.

 

Prediction: Sikio by decision.

 

- Light heavyweight bout

 

Simon ”Brave Heart” Pegg (0-0) vs. Jack ”Peril” Perl (0-1)

 

In a bout between two well-rounded youngsters, Simon Pegg faces Jack Perl, with both men in search of their first professional victory. Perl was submitted in his first pro bout, and Pegg has a strength in wrestling, but it’s hard to say what will happen as there is so little material on either fighter - who will get their first entry in the win column?

 

Prediction: Perl by (T)KO.

 

- Featherweight bout

 

”Spartan” Sami Saarela (0-1) vs. Kauko Antero (1-2)

 

In a battle of the featherweights to open up the evening, the man known as a tough brawler, Sami Saarela is pitted against confident boxer Kauko Antero. Antero is likely the more technical striker, while Saarela has the advantage in wrestling - what will be interesting to see is whether or not he will use that advantage.

 

Prediction: Saarela by (T)KO.

Niice!

Main event:

Arild Einemo (6-2) vs. ”The Slender Man” James Dean Rockefeller (3-0)

Prediction: Rockefeller by decision to win the CF:L Featherweight title.

 

 

Oh prediction Rockefeller, it's on ohhh it's on... Einemo will knock Rockefeller out !

Oh prediction Rockefeller, it's on ohhh it's on... Einemo will knock Rockefeller out !

http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/10/10w2.jpg

James Dean Rockefeller: Well, a valiant effort by Einemo and kudos for surviving. I think I was a bit too eager to pound him out and the guy won a few position battles on the ground, but all in all a win is a win. Even when there's no blood drawn. But, the bottom line is, you just can't beat wrestling baby!

Crucible Fights: London - Einemo vs Rockefeller Press conference

 

In the main event and the first title fight in Crucible Fights: London's history, James Dean Rockefeller utilised his gameplan to clinch and take Einemo down time and time again, and left no doubts who deserved the win and the belt. Altough there is talking in the backstage that there was somekind of misunderstanding about the gameplan between Rockefeller and his management, but i am sure everyone is happy about the result.

Introducing the future Crucible Fights: London lightweight champion.

http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/20/20w13.jpg

"Westendin Vapahtaja" Kristus Koistinen.

 

Kristus is a younger brother of local MMA legend Brutaali Keijo. Unlike his hellraising brother, Kristus has always been a fine young man. But like Keijo, Kristus is also a phenomenal jiujitsu artist. And he does possess the patented Koistinen KO power so fighting in MMA was a no brainer. As a ridiculously devoted christian, Kristus is deliberately neglecting wrestling skills because deep down he knows, that God always sweeps.

"The Slender Man" James Dean Rockefeller

 

Even though J.D. was born to an extremely wealthy family he's no stranger to hard work. Hard work in form of countless of hours in the gym, gallons and gallons of blood, sweat and tears shed on the wrestling mats. After being a 4-time all-american at Oklahoma State he opted against participating to the London games, as the olympic spirit was not in his blood. Violence and mayhem run in his veins. That's why he chose MMA over the olympics. He just loves the smell of blood during a fight.

James Dean Rockefeller: Well, a valiant effort by Einemo and kudos for surviving. I think I was a bit too eager to pound him out and the guy won a few position battles on the ground, but all in all a win is a win. Even when there's no blood drawn. But, the bottom line is, you just can't beat wrestling baby!

 

I thought that my takedown defence (which is kinda good) would make a bigger difference and the fact that your fighter is really tall for this weight class. Anyhow, great performance and gl with the future title defense(s), Einemo will be back and ready to scramble for the belt

Crucible Fights: London 4 - No Pain, No Gain Preview

 

At the Underground in London on June 23rd

 

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/13708572581368105827CFA8%20copy.jpg

 

 

Next Sunday the Crucible cage trembles as over 500 pounds of professional heavyweight enter to find out which of the two men is the champion. Also, the latest Immortals Playground lightweight champion makes his Crucible Fights debut against one of the tallest 155-pounders in the world.

 

The predictions are no more than opinions of the writer and do not reflect the views of the company in any way, and are not meant to offend anyone involved.

 

 

Main card:

 

 

Lightweight bout:

 

”Big Shot” Ben Williams (4-0) vs. Kevin ”Big King” Smith (1-0)

 

In the final bout of the evening former Immortals Playground lightweight champion Ben Williams takes on the 6’4 rookie Kevin Smith. The booking of this fight as the main event may be viewed as controversial by some, but it seems like Ben Williams is somebody the Crucible Fights brass has high hopes for, and could be looking at a potential title fight in the near future - if he gets past Smith.

The two versatile competitors are fairly similar on paper, with Williams holding an edge in the technical department in virtually all areas of the fight game, but he will have to overcome the enormous reach of his opponent.

In Smith’s professional debut he showed a varied game, mixing kicks with takedowns and good ground technique. Williams is mostly known for his submissions, but has also shown competence in the striking game with powerful kicks at his disposal. It will be interesting to see whether Smith’s huge reach and length carry him through this fight, or will it be Williams’ technical superiority that will prevail.

 

Prediction: Williams by submission. Smith’s build will make it interesting, but ultimately Williams technical edge will prove too much on the ground.

 

 

Heavyweight championship bout:

 

Aster ”Doomday” Roid (4-0) vs. Vincent ”ViGo” Gompka (3-1)

 

In the unofficial main event of the evening the first heavyweight champion will be crowned as striking specialist Aster Roid returns after a KO of the night performance just two weeks ago to take on Vincent Gompka, who is riding a three-fight winning streak since losing his pro debut.

Roid, a knock out artist, is known for his solid take down defense and finishing ability, but Gompka has made his career out of beating striking specialists, so the fighter who gets to dictate the fight will likely come out the victor. Gompka, an incredibly tall athlete at over 7 feet tall, is a grappling specialists known for his slick and powerful take downs, having showcased crowd-pleasing slams and suplexes in his young career so far.

Five of the fighters’ seven combined victories have come by way of knock out, so a full five rounder seems unlikely. However many minutes it goes, it should be entertaining and at the end we will have our first Crucible Fights: London heavyweight champion.

 

Prediction: Roid by (T)KO to become the first ever CF:L heavyweight champion. Gompka has good take downs, but Roid knows this, and will have little else to worry about on the feet.

 

 

Featherweight bout:

 

Nils ”Peukaloinen” Holgersson (4-1) vs. Ash Lizard (1-0)

 

At 145 pounds two rising stars face off to determine the pecking order in the division. Nils Holgersson, a 25-year old Finn, is a well rounded fighter who has impressed fans and pundits with his punching power and toughness, but also possesses some take down and ground and pound abilities. Ash Lizard on the other hand is a pure jiu-jitsu fighter who showed great composure and finishing instincts in his professional debut, submitting his opponent in less than a minute.

 

Prediction: Holgersson by (T)KO. It would be very intriguing to see the fight hit the mat with the great grappling skills of both fighters, but I think Holgersson’s striking power and experience will see him win before that happens.

 

 

Lightweight bout:

 

Ivan ”The First Channel” Urgant (3-0) vs. Ivan ”The Last King” Emelianenko (4-3)

 

In the battle of the Ivans, the ”First Channel” faces the ”Last King” in a fight that will catapult the winner into the mix of top prospects in the CF:L’s stacked lightweight division. The undefeated Urgant is a versatile fighter who has shown great ability to get off the bottom if he does end up there, and is feared for his finishing power, an attribute backed by his three first round finishes. Emelianenko is also well-rounded, but seems to prefer grappling and mixing up his attacks.

Emelianenko is a determined, rugged competitor with plenty of ability, but Urgant’s technical prowess and killer instinct have proven too much for opponents to handle so far. Emelianenko will need to use all his tools to get the job done, and avoid the early onslaught from Urgant’s punches.

 

Prediction: Urgant by (T)KO. Urgant is a little better in every area in my opinion, and has the finishing ability to make this quick.

 

 

Preliminary card:

 

 

Featherweight bout:

 

Tom ”Henry” Dyson (1-0) vs Nathan Donald ”Nate Diaz” Diaz (1-0)

 

In a fight where two fighters are looking for their first professional winning streak, Tom Dyson fights Nathan Diaz. Both fighters showed the determination and heart to go the full 15-minute distance in their debuts, and both seemed to prefer wrestling as their tool of choice. Diaz is the more technical fighter, while Dyson relies a lot on his physical strength.

 

Prediction: Diaz by decision. Dyson’s debut victory over Fred Mason seemed questionable, and I don’t think his strength will win him another fight against a more technical Diaz.

 

 

Featherweight bout:

 

Riku ”Curry” Kurikka (2-2) vs. Fred ”Nightmare” Mason (1-1)

 

In another fight that promises a fast pace and plenty of action, featherweights Riku Kurikka and Fred Mason do battle. Mason is a competent striker who likes to mix a lot of take downs into his attacks, which is something he will have to do against Kurikka, an excellent striker who has finished his last two fights in a combined total of three and a half minutes.

 

Prediction: Kurikka by (T)KO. I don’t feel like Mason’s wrestling will be good enough to control Kurikka, who is a rapid starter with killer instinct.

 

 

Lightweight bout:

 

Derrick Rose (3-1) vs Dennis Teller (2-3)

 

In the lightweight division grappling specialist Derrick Rose faces off against cross-trained boxer Dennis Teller in what promises to be a quick finish. Both fighters have a pronounced strength where the other has a weakness, with Teller’s boxing and Rose’s grappling.

 

Prediction: Rose by submission. Teller is decent in every area, but not strong enough in the striking to take Rose out quickly, and will likely fall victim to his jiu-jitsu game.

 

 

Welterweight bout:

 

Leo Bambaleo Jr (1-0) vs. Ian ”The Hitman” McDunn (0-1)

 

In a welterweight clash that promises fireworks, heavy hitters Leo Bambaleo and Ian McDunn compete and undoubtedly look to add their names to the KO of the night bonus hat. The stocky Scot McDunn is known for his powerful punching and Gaelic wrestling background and Bambaleo’s strengths also lie in finishing power, as shown in his 54-second pro debut victory.

 

Prediction: Bambaleo Jr by (T)KO. This is a coin flip, but Bambaleo’s technical skills seem superior, and McDunn’s pro debut showed that while he is tough, he can be finished.

 

 

Lightweight bout:

 

Akosii Gajo (1-3) vs. Arana ”Shark” Davies (1-2)

 

Two fighters look to get back on track after disappointing starts to their pro careers as New Zealander Arana Davies fights Filipino Akosii Gajo. Both men are primarily strikers, Davies preferring a power kick-heavy offense, while Gajo is a confident puncher who is tough to finish.

 

Prediction: Gajo by decision. Though we haven’t seen a terrible lot from either fighter so far, I think Gajo’s confidence and toughness will get him through Davies - he will likely use his punches to get inside, mix up his game and outwork his opponent.

 

 

Welterweight bout:

 

Josh ”Go2Sleep” Sleep (0-1) vs. Dexter ”Serial Killer” Morgan (0-2-1)

 

While at the outset a match up between the worst nickname in MMA and a notorious serial killer seems one-sided, the welterweight bout between Josh Sleep and Dexter Morgan could be competitive. Morgan is primarily a striker who has struggled against grapplers in the past, while Sleep is a wrestler who reportedly has a granite chin.

 

Prediction: Sleep by decision. The serial killer hasn’t been able to translate his success killing criminals into the cage that well yet, and it seems he might have found another tough target in Sleep. Sleep’s wrestling skills will likely be enough to take Morgan off his feet and keep him there - hopefully the crowd won’t ”Go2Sleep” after the first bout of the evening.

No Pain, No Gain Press Conference

 

In our unofficial main event of the evening, Aster Roid won the heavyweight title after he finished Vincent Gompka in the fifth round due strikes.

Heavyweight champion

Aster Roid 5-0-0 (W-L-D)

Ben Williams made a huge statement as he finished Kevin Smith easily with strikes in the first round. We are sitting down with Williams's management and discuss what's next for him. There is couple big fights for him. Fight against the winner of Kelly-Turner would be ofcourse the biggest. Let's see what the future brings!

 

Nils Holgersson showed us why he is considered to be one of the biggest stars in the future, as he knocked Ash Lizard out with only one punch. That power that he has is unbelievable. Holgersson is scheduled to fight against Stephen Burke next month, and if Nils wins impressively, he is definitely in the 145 lbs title picture.

 

Ivan Urgant put himself in to the 155 lbs title picture, as he earned a KO of the night with a huge head kick against Ivan Emelianenko. Urgant vs Koistinen for the nr. 1 contendership is possible too.

 

Fight of the night: Roid vs Gompka

KO of the night: Ivan Urgant (Head kick)

I am new to the org and was just reading this thread. I want to clear something up right now. There are two Ivan Emelianenkos, one at 155 and another at 265. I am the manager for the 265+ lb Ivan Emelianenko.

 

I was about to shit a brick because I saw the "press conference" and was wondering how the hell my fighter lost a match before he even signed onto the organization.

 

Moving on...
