I'm glad I finished the fight pretty early. I still have loads of energy left in my tank, so I can fight again on the next event. I'm hoping for a fellow striker as brutal standup battles is what the fans are looking for. I'm hoping to fight again very very soon. Tonight was a clinchrape session one on one by me. Who knows what surprise I'll have for my next opponent... All I know is that I'm bloodthirsty and want to fight again asap!

Lee Kagawa
26 year old
135lbs
7-4

" It's been quite some time since I last spoke out, I was in a bad place having lost 3 fights in a row. I was ashamed of my performance in each of the fights and I know I have embarrassed my family in those fights. I hope I have made it up to them with my performances in my past two fights.

In the 3rd round of my fight against Mr Socks (3-3) I just had this feeling deep inside me at the start of the round that I was going to win that fight. The warrior within me just came out and I didn't stop until I was pulled off him by the ref.

That fight, I wanted to prove whoever did the preview of that event wrong. He guessed that I would have been defeated by TKO or KO, against a young prospect in Jaqquard who was 4-0 before he came face to face with Lee Kagawa! I'm pretty sure the writer underestimated my ground skills *laughs*

To be ranked as the 20th best fighter for Highland Games is an honour. I hope that before I leave this wonderful Island, the Highland Games fans will be singing my song and hailing me as one of the greatest fighters to ever grace this organisation."

Now that Don Killuminati has went MIA after being dethroned, Lee Kagawa might be my favourite fighter. Comeback KO followed by submitting an elite wrestler despite primarily being a striker. Lee's a threat.

 

 

If Jacob Naankuse beats Ronald Raygun on the 8th, a fight with Kagawa could serve as a number 1 contenders fight on the 14th. Also there's Dan Sten and Men Tor on the 7th. If Men Tor wins and someone picks him up from FAs, that could be an interesting rematch. If Kip Ruell gets another W though that would throw a spanner in the works since Ruell has a win over Kagawa on his current streak.

I'd like to thank all my fans. They supported me when I needed it the most. Now that I got my belt back, I look foward to my next title defense to strengthen my status as the best Island Middleweight fighter ever.

HIGHLAND GAMES 51 PREVIEW

By Shtaaf Reimish

 

MMA Tycoon fans from around the world, Highland Games comes to you live this Friday from Hayashi's Lounge - The Island, its Highland Games 51! There is ten big fights on the docket for the evening including a Bantamweight title fight between current champ Serge Ibaka and the challenger, Renato Laranja! Shtaaf Reimish here to break down all the action for you and provide some betting advice for each fight, so let's get to the card!
Dikembe "Mount" Mutombo (3-1-0) vs Marius "Tec" Wieneke (3-2-0) Heavyweight
We kick off the night in the heavyweight division with a fight between two guys who have recently faced their first set-backs, its Dikembe "Mount" Mutombo vs Marius "Tec" Wieneke! Mutombo won his first three fights in Highland Games before dropping his last bout at Highland Games 45 versus Magnus Cross by TKO. The Congo native has displayed his solid striking abilities so far in his MMA career, but has yet to have seen the fruit from his much improved ground game. Wieneke lives and dies on the ground. The German teenager has yet to see a fight go longer than 2 minutes, all of them ending via submission. He also won his first three fights in Highland Games before dropping his last two, the later at Highland Games 44 versus Steven Dame. I expect Weineke to bring this fight to the mat as often as possible, and we'll see if Mutombo can match him there or end it before it reaches the ground. Mutombo by TKO.
Steven Dame (6-3-0) vs Shy Boy (2-3-0) Heavyweight
Another heavyweight bout to continue Highland Games 51 as Steven Dame and Shy Boy look to build off their respective recent victories. Dame has had an up and down run as a pro but hoped the road made head upwards after a Kimura Submission ended Marius Wieneke at Highland Games 44 which earned him Submission of the Night. The Brazilian has a solid game but his downfall thus far in his career has been standing, so we'll see dame can overcome these shortcomings again. Boy is a former pro boxer who is still looking to round out the rest of his MMA repertoire. The Western Sahara native last fought Theras Staal at Highland Games 44 where he lasted the fight and won via decision when the scorecards were read. Should be an interesting standup vs ground matchup. Boy by KO.
Valentin Shovkovskyj (5-3-1) vs Piotr "Wyspa" Wyspianski (5-2-0) Middleweight
We take a trip to eastern Europe with our next middleweight fight as Ukraine's Valentin Shovkovskyj takes on Poland's Piotr "Wyspa" Wyspianski for an entrance into the rankings. Shovkovskyj enters this fight after losing his last appearance by unanimous decision to Jack Sock at Highland Games 43. The 21-year-old has a brown belt in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu so look for him to take the fight to the mat as often as possible. Wyspianski also lost his last fight way back in December to current middleweight title holder Razor MuayThai via TKO. He will look to rebound back into the win column utilizing his strong wrestling and Muay Thai abilities. With two hungry fighters, this should be an awesome fight! Shovkovskyj by submission.
Dave "Laddington Bear" Ysengrin (2-0-0) vs Ali Mouba (4-3-0) Heavyweight
Back to the big boys as Dave "Laddington Bear" Ysengrin puts his undefeated record on the line versus wrestling sensation Ali Mouba in a heavyweight tilt! Ysengrin has been a hit thus far in his pro career, knocking out his first two opponents in Highland Games, both in the first round. The Englishman will look to utilize his Muay Thai and wrestling background in a match that screams an early knockout! Mouba is a wrestling phenomena that has reached a rough patch in his career recently. He began his pro MMA career with four straight wins, but has lost his last three bouts. The Senegal native is as hungry as ever to get back in the win column Friday with a victory! Should be an entertaining bout! Might regret it, but I've got Ysengrin keeping the streak alive with a TKO.
Hanjong "Fudada" McVetrol (4-4-0) vs Hughtavious Mingo (4-2-0) Light Heavyweight
The last fight of the prelims brings us to the light heavyweight division as Hanjong "Fudada" McVetrol and Hughtavious Mingo look to rebound from recent losses. McVetrol last fought at highland Games 43 where he lost by unanimous decision to Dieter Von Sprockets in a tough evening for the Antigua and Barbuda native. He'll look to bounce back using his amazing boxing prowess in the octagon this Friday. Mingo had a three fight win streak going before Eduard Massa Alcantara ended it with a TKO at Highland Games 44. The West Monroe native can box with the best of them, which combined with his wrestling abilities, may give him the edge versus McVetrol. Mingo via TKO.
#12 Richard Riddick (8-3-0) vs #4 Pedro "Pirate" Lazaro (7-2-0) Heavyweight
To begin the main card at Hayashi's Lounge - The Island, Highland Games presents a bout between two former #1 challengers in the heavyweight division, its Richard Riddick vs Pedro "Pirate" Lazaro! Riddick, the popular former AFL heavyweight champ, came to Highland Games full of hype and got a title crack in his second fight with the organization, which he lost via KO to current champ Barney Gamble. He followed that up with another KO loss, this time to Thor Heyerdahl at Highland Games 45 which saw his ranking drop dramatically. The Iceland native will look to right the ship here and get back to top contender status he formerly had. Lazaro was Gamble's second last victim where a late second round barrage from Gamble saw an end Lazaro's night. The Panama native lasted longer than anyone else has against Gamble, and will look for another shot at the champ with a win Friday. This fight has tons on the line, and should be everything it's hyped up to be. I've got Lazaro earning another shot at Gamble via TKO.
#2 Mamad "The Real King" Mouba (5-1-0) vs #5 JJ Lycka (7-2-0) Lightweight
The seventh fight of the night comes to us in the lightweight division as #2 Mamad "The Real King" Mouba and #5 JJ Lycka enter the octagon of Highland Games for the first time! Mouba, the current WCC lightweight title holder, makes his HG debut here at Highland Games 50, and will be looking for a title shot with a win here. The well-rounded Senegal native hasn't lost since a unanimous decision upset at the hands of Derrick Jon in the QFC back in November. Lycka, the former AFL lightweight champ, is an absolute beast when the fight hits the mat. The Brazilian's brown BJJ belt and wrestling background have ended more than one opponent's night before the final bell and he'll look to do the same against his hyped opponent Friday. I'll take Mouba via TKO.
#2 Grant Morrison (10-3-0) vs #5 Wirbel Schwein (7-3-0) Middleweight
Next up on the card is a huge middleweight bout between two guys that have caught fire recently and are hungry for a title shot, its Grant Morrison vs Wirbel Schwein! Morrison is a veteran of six Highland Games fights and has fought one title fight back in November, a second round TKO loss at the hands of Massimo Benvenuti. He also lost his next fight but has rebounded by winning his last three to put him right back near the top of the Middleweight picture. The 26-year-old Scotsman has a wide repertoire of skills that he utilizes to combat anything his opponent may throw at him. Schwein enters this fight on a five fight win streak including three in the Highland Games, the last of which came at Highland Games 46 where he KO'd Saladin Hussain with a huge head kick. The Belgium native has amazing Muay Thai skills that have won him most of his fights to date, but we'll have to see if that's enough to counter Morrison's power. Morrison via KO.
#1 Nelson "Big Daddy V" Frazier Jr. (7-2-0) vs #3 Mib Louie (8-2-0) Heavyweight
In the co-main event of Highland Games 51, we present a heavyweight fight for the shot at the current heavyweight champion Barney Gamble between Nelson "Big Daddy V" Frazier Jr. and Mib Louie! Since his first title shot back at Highland Games 25, Frazier lost his first trip back to the octagon, but rebounded to put back-to-back big wins on the board to earn his current #1 ranking. The Harlem, NY native was last seen at Highland Games 45 where he KO'd Andrei Alexeyev in the Fight of the Night. He'll look to use his boxing and wrestling fortes to earn a second trip to a title fight. Louie, too, has lost to Gamble in a title fight, his coming back at Highland Games 17 last November. He too lost his next fight but has stormed back to three straight victories, the last of which came at Highland Games 44 in which he KO'd Alexey Juravlev with a monstrous high kick. The 26-year-old Canadian will look to clinch often to counter Frazier's boxing abilities while setting up for his strong Muay Thai background. Plenty to fight for in this one and I've got Louie by TKO.
Bantamweight Championship Title
© Serge "Two Guns" Ibaka (11-0-0) vs #1 "The BJJ Champ" Renato Laranja (9-1-0) Bantamweight
And now, for the main event of the evening, Highland Games presents five rounds for the undisputed bantamweight champion, it’s the champion Serge "Two Guns" Ibaka (11-0-0) versus the challenger "The BJJ Champ" Renato Laranja! Ibaka has done everything right so far in his professional career including earning the AFL belt and defending it before signing with Highland Games, winning their belt and then defending it and impressive five times to remain undefeated. The 26-year-old Spaniard has perhaps the most feared fists in Highland Games and is looking to become the top P4P fighter in the organization. Standing between him and retaining his bantamweight belt is Laranja. The Brazilian has been a BJJ machine thus far on the Island. He has successfully captured the Ultimate XC and AFL bantamweight belts before finally bowing to Darth Vader in his second AFL title defense. He won one more fight in that organization before signing with Highland Games where he debuted by submitting Ronald Raygun halfway through round one of Highland Games 47 earning him this title shot. We all know Laranja cannot fight standing up, but if he can find a way to bring Ibaka to the ground, he should be able to force his will into a submission. All in all, this is shaping up to be a tremendous fight! I'll take Ibaka retaining his belt and therefor staying undefeated by way of TKO.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Highland Games 51 will be a high octane event that you will not want to miss out on! The Bantamweight title fight alone should be enough for any MMA fan to lock his eyes, but with 9 other huge fights, Friday night is a can't miss event! See you Friday and Hayashi's Lounge!

" It makes me happy knowing that I have the support of my boss every time I go to battle in the Highland Games cage.

A number one contenders fight is one which interests me, if I win that, it means I only have to beat one more fighter to lift the Highland Games Bantamweight title. I have faith in my abilities and believe that I am unstoppable when the beast within me is released."

" I fear for JJ Tycooner's sanity. If he believes Matt Porcelain Punisher is the best fighter on this Island, he's truly believing his own lies. Everyone knows if you want to prove you're the best on this Island, you have to come to Highland Games and go to war against some of the toughest martial artists in the world. "

#1 Contender for the Highland Games Heavyweight Championship

Psh, best fighter on the Island? Not sure if you understand maths boy, but you are 8th in line. The #1 guy is my next opponent, Barney Gumble, and I say that whoever wins in our fight shows you exactly why Highland Games is the best org on the Island. Sure we give away size advantage to you, but we can still kick your goliath ass around the cage!

Darth Vader



I know Bobby Bob Bob wont accept a fight with Serge, That pussy just declined a title fight with me. Should I end up winning the WC belt from Bob if he mans up or if i gotta fight Penn again for a Vacant belt and win then I will give the fans the rematch everyone wants to see. Serge vs Vader 2 would also love to fight Drake again should he somehow win. as i had that fight won easily but my stupid manager didnt move my takedown slider all the way to zero % and like an idiot i took him down.

^I had originally posted in the WC thread to diss Vader for signing with the org that doesnt have the two guys who bested him. Guess I have to edit it now haha.

Highland Games is proud to announce the signing of former Attack Fight League Lightweight Champion; Gottlieb Hiebknecht.

Gottlieb has won 11 of his 13 contests and defended the AFL belt 3 times before the company's demise.

His first match up will be announced shortly, but there is expected to be some big news on that front.

So far in February we have some big events announced with several high profile rematches.

Highland Games 52: LHW Vs Theorodou 2.

Highland Games 53: Gumble Vs Frazier Jr 2.

Highland Games 54: Ibaka Vs Drake 2.

Highland Games 55: Mustafa Shabazz Vs ???

Highland Games 56: Benvenuti Vs Morisson 3.

It's also expected that Shtaaf Reimish will return as our writer for February as well.

Darth Vader

my intentions on signing with WC was to win their championship so Vader vs Serge would be a "superfight" so to speak. So hopefully Bob gets his head out his ass and accepts the second fight offer. Drake's win against me is super tainted in my eye's since I fucked my sliders up, but a lose is a lose and hopefully I meet him again in the tourny since i dont really see him beating Serge

World Combat's Lightweight Champion Mamed Mouba cites his Highland Games loss to JJ Lycka being the exact same situation.


We'd be happy to have Darth Vader competing with us.


We had reached out before AFL went down and it looked like Ibaka Vs Vader 2 would go ahead.


Now Ibaka will take on Neil Drake for the second time at Highland Games 54.


Jayjay Tycooner has been calling Highland Games out, trying to get one of our guys to fight at SHW against Matt Punisher.


I have countered with a champion Vs champion challenge. I wager that no one from World Combat can beat a Highland Games title holder.


If Vader is able to get the win over Bob, it's likely that we'll see either Vader Vs Ibaka or Vader Vs Drake.


In other news for Highland Games, it's expected that decisions will start being made about the end of season location and stipulations for the company.


Talks will be made with some of the top managers and promoters which will aid the overall decision.

We've got some logos put together for the fighters.


For now they are subject to change but I think it's a cool way to start establishing a brand with each guy.
