clydebankblitz Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 HIGHLAND GAMES 177 HIGHLAND GAMES $1MILLION TOURNAMENT ROUND 1 ANNOUNCEMENT Pascal Lemouix Vs Uwe Scherer Matthew Stevenson Vs Max Power Lloyd Christmas Vs Johnny Beefcake Michael Epicity Vs Henrik Larsson Ted Getstoned Vs Xavier Hunter Insane Bolt Vs Toimi Liikanen Clinch Master Vs Sotamies Rannalla Jeremy Hritzkowin Vs Brett Howell BETTING ODDS Brett Howell - 3/1 Ted Getstoned - 5/1 Michael Epicity - 6/1 Johnny Beefcake - 7/1 Xavier Hunter - 8/1 Toimi Liikanen - 8/1 Insane Bolt - 8/1 Clinch Master - 8/1 Jeremy Hritzkowin - 9/1 Sotamies Rannalla - 10/1 Matthew Stevenson - 11/1 Pascal Lemouix - 11/1 Uwe Scherer - 12/1 Max Power - 12/1 Henrik Larsson - 12/1 Lloyd Christmas - 13/1 (CO MAIN EVENT TO BE ANNOUNCED) MAIN EVENT Light Heavyweight Championship: Texas Pete (18-2) Vs LightHeavy Weight (31-3) © This is a rematch of the Highland Games 112 main event. In that fight, Pete would be cut early by the legendary clinch elbows of the reigning champion. Unlike most opponents, Pete would be able to break the clinch and brought something we don’t often see from Weight’s opponents and that’s a kicking game. None the less, Weight has more than one facet of his game and after checking a leg kick, LHW would drop Pete with a one two combo and finish him with a nasty straight right. Journeying back to before this fight, Texas Pete would start his career in Ring of Violence, an organisation spearheaded by his manager Storman Norman. After an impressive run which saw him go 6-0, Pete would switch to La Grande Promotions and immediately compete for the inaugural Light Heavyweight Championship. A first round finish of Vitor Belfidus gave Texas his first taste of gold and in turn, become the face of the company. He would headline all of his La Grande fights, defending his championship 4 times and picking up 4 post fight bonuses. At this time, LGP would close its doors, but for Pete doors were only just opening. After receiving offer after offer, Pete would sign on the dotted line and make his Highland Games debut, TKOing Joe Durham in the second round, setting up his first shot at the title. Since his first title shot, Pete has established himself as one of the best 205 fighters Highland Games has ever had. An early stumble to Jake Theodorou has been more than written off by knockout victories over Louis and Mel Gordon, James Helm, Jimmie Craig, Joy James and Aku Saari. On a 5 fight win streak, none of which going beyond the second round, Pete has never been in a better position to fight for the title. What can be said about LightHeavy Weight that hasn’t already been said? When Texas Pete made his Highland Games debut, LHW was making his fourteenth defence of his championship belt. Although his incredible win streak and record breaking title defences was snapped by a unanimous decision loss to Ludko Struja recently, a Knockout of the Night spinning backfist against Struja more than made up for the stumble. LightHeavy Weight has just one title defence on his current streak, but if I know LHW he’ll be not only looking to put something big together, but perhaps even beat his previous record. That’s a goal that would be a long way down the line, but if anyone has that ability in his repertoire, this is the man. We know about LHW’s incredible clinch game, but over the years he’s been able to develop a stellar boxing game which is often underrated by his opponents. Something which might pose a threat to him if the Pete fight lasts longer than it’s expected to is the kickboxing game that Pete possesses. If we go through his opponents, only Pete and Taite Abrams actually bring a kicking game to the table. Just for the sake of making this preview interesting, I’ll theorize a way for Pete to win. I imagine he’s going to want to keep this fight running because Weight’s clinch and boxing doesn’t allow fighters the ability to relax in the early goings. If Pete can keep his distance and pick Weight off with kicks, we could potentially see the champion begin to tire out in the later rounds. While LHW is an absolute killer, he’s shown some weaknesses in his chin in the past. Not many opponents ever expose these, but if I had to pick any way for Pete to win, I’d call for a late head kick KO. That being said, the smart money, no matter the fight, will always lie with LightHeavy Weight who has shown the ability to cut, rock and knockout any man that that has the stones to step in there with him. With only one fight out of his storied 34 fight career going the distance, I really wouldn’t want to bet anything on this contest lasting too long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Highland Games http://mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/14407183641428187949Logonew2.png Highland Games 178 is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by Highland Games, in conjunction with Highland Clothing and Hoarseplay Writing Productions, on May 29, 2016. This showcase attraction will take place at the Wombley Arena in London, England. Lightweight Cholo Van Gaal versus Papa Shango© Welterweight Tony Bullard versus The Bishop of Bath and Wells Heavyweight Edward Bravie versus Kelle Kettu Welterweight Alexander Stubb versus Oliver Dickens Bantamweight Dan Small versus Jandre Vorster Light-heavyweight Helio Gracie versus Thomas Campion Heavyweight Dick Wad versus Milan Zoranovic Lightweight Ian Behring versus Temoodschin Khan Welterweight Russell Paulman versus Tsau Tsetsku Welterweight Lim Yun Gyu versus Daniel Wyoming [Preliminary Fights] (Welterweight bout) Lim Yun Gyu (6-3) versus Daniel Wyoming (7-1) (Preview) Lim Yun Gyu started out as an undefeated parking lot brawler, knocking out five opponents in small time shows before getting signed by Highland Games. Although he has only won one time in Highland Games, Yun Gyu is currently considered one of the dark horses of the division; his status as an untapped prospect remains a possibility, despite the overwhelming nature of his defeats. Daniel Wyoming, known as “Cowboy” to his fans, is a Texas native and very heavy handed kick boxer. He became famous, or perhaps infamous, when his small time victories were posted on the popular media site Youtube, bringing a very large spotlight to a very short career. Despite his inexperience in the bigger leagues, Wyoming was signed by Apex FC, winning two bouts. With his contract up, Wyoming was signed to Highland Games, where he was defeated for the first time in his career when he faced former two time Underground MMA welterweight title challenger Bill Bremmer. http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/37/37b5.jpgversushttp://mmatycoon.com/gallery/27/27w4.jpg (Welterweight bout) Russell Paulman (8-1) versus Tsau Tsetsku (12-3) (Preview) Despite being nicknamed “The Grappler”, Russell Paulman is actually a heavy handed Muay Thai stylist, although he is very capable of fighting on the ground if he has to. Paulman made his debut in the QFC 495 welterweight tournament, advancing into the third round before falling victim to a submission. This loss would be his only defeat in professional mixed martial arts. Russell Paulman fought three times in regional QFC shows, winning all three bouts in dominant fashion. Paulman fought twice for Tradition FC, smashing both opponents placed before him, before he decided to try his hand in a TWGC grappling tournament. Paulman was outed in the second round of the qualifiers, and promptly returned to MMA shortly thereafter. Paulman returned onto the MMA scene at Highland Games 167, besting Lim Yun Gyu via unanimous decision. Starting his career as a heavy handed collegiate wrestler, Tsau Tsetsku has certainly seen his ups and downs throughout his storied tenure as a mixed martial artist. He began fighting in the QFC 490 middleweight tournament, defeating four opponents to become the tourney champion. He next appeared in the Elite Canadian Fighting Champipnship, winning two consecutive bouts in dramatic fashion before being dumped by his management team due to a lack of creative unity. Whatever the hell that means. Under new management, Tsetsku won the TFL middleweight championship before once again changing management teams; rather than defend his new belt, he was signed to the Imperial MMA promotion, where he won two of his four matches, lost once, and faced a no contest when his opponent failed to make weight. Tsetsku next fought for Highland Games, winning once, losing once, and being dumped by yet another manager. Under his newest management, Tsetsku was defeated in a QFC bout before signing one more time with Highland Games, winning both of his recent bouts via unanimous decision. [undercard Fights] http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/4/4w12.jpgversushttp://mmatycoon.com/gallery/40/40w16.jpg (Lightweight bout) Ian Behring (13-6) versus Temoodschin Khan (12-8) (Preview) Ian Behring is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt, most known for his early career in which he captured the Coyotile FC featherweight championship and defended it two times before losing it to Patricky Freire. Bering soon left Coyotile to fight for Highland Games, getting wins over the likes of Joe dirt and Taisto Anttila, while losing high profile matches against Papa Shango and Calvin Brooks. Temoodschin Khan is a freestyle fighter that uses a combination of Muay Thai and submission grappling in matches, taking the fight wherever he holds an advantage. He made his debut on Season 4 of The Island, in the Leftovers promotion, scoring some big wins along the way. After winning six of his last seven, Khan faced Fernardu Palmier for the Leftovers welterweight title, but was defeated via first round TKO. Khan fought frequently for Leftovers, giving himself little time to train between matches. Despite losing his most recent match, he was invited into the season finale tournament, where he was defeated in the opening round by Laaka Mato. Post-Island, Khan has fought exclusively for Highland Games; after losing to Hugo Jimenez in his debut, he has defeated Daniel Eye, Danny McCoy, and, most recently, Roni Draymond. http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/39/39b8.jpgversushttp://mmatycoon.com/gallery/2/2w16.jpg (Heavyweight bout) Dick Wad (17-12) versus Milan Zoranovic (7-6) (Preview) Dick Wad is a veteran of many smaller shows; he began fighting on Season 3 of The Island. He made his debut in the QFC, smashing three opponents before being signed by Executioner FC. Wad was granted a title shot in his EFC debut, knocking out Mike Tyson to claim the inaugural heavyweight crown. Wad defended his heavyweight title three times before it was taken from him in a defeat at the hands of Barney Gumble. Dick Wad's early dominance faded away, as he went on a tear of winning a few, then losing one; a curse which has haunted him into the present times. Dick Wad competed in the finale tournament, advancing into the third round before being defeated by Jimmie Craig. Wad completed his contract with Executioner FC after seven fights on the mainland, and then signed with Highland Games. Within HG, Wad has some decent wins, and has fought big names including Alexey Juravlev and Phil Hellmuth Jr, but has really failed to recapture the magic of his early career. Milan Zoranovic fought his early bouts both in the QFC and for Heavyweight Prizefighting, when it was still called such. He fought for times in the Steel Penn – ICON promotion, briefly capturing the super-heavyweight title before losing it in a majority decision. Zoranovic went on a three fight losing streak, rebounding with a win over Ranaroldo Silvardo in Tradition FC. Most recently, Milan Zoranovic is 1-2 in Highland Games, with a win over Ronald Rosing along the way. http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/1/1w24.jpgversushttp://mmatycoon.com/gallery/31/31b2.jpg (Light-heavyweight bout) Helio Gracie (13-9) versus Thomas Campion (11-5) (Preview) Helio Gracie is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and obvious name homage to the legendary founder of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu by the same name. The “Smashing Machine” started his MMA career with a QFC bout before fighting for King of the Cage on Season 3 of The Island. Gracie won both of his KOTC bouts before signing a brief contract with Highland Games. Unfortunately, Gracei would lose both of those fights via first round KO, prompting him to part ways with the promotion. Helio fought once more in the QFC, submitting Dick Hardy before taking part in the light-heavyweight tournament finale. After submitting Marcin Strzelba in the first round, he was out pointed by Egon Ekkehard in the second. Helio fought exclusively for Tradition FC in his post-Island career, accumulating a record of 6-4-1. He would win a pack of journeyman bouts, but would lose against the next top contender that he faced off against, keeping him just out of reach of any championship fights. Helio then returned to Highland Games for the first time in more than a year, and was promptly defeated by Harry Potter (no hocus pocus, chill dawg). Gracie rebounded by defeating Rimario Gracie and Mairbek Krylov via TKO each. Most recently, Helio Gracie was knocked out by Harry Holliday. Thomas Campion is known as the “Spear of Rage” due to an incident early in his career in which he attempted to take an opponent to the ground, hitting the man with such force that they both broke through the side of the cage. In addition to the hilariously unfortunate incident with the flimsy cage door early on, Campion is known for his incredible work ethic and ferocity on the ground. His mixture of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling abilities makes him a dangerous man to be beneath. Thomas Campion went 5-0 in the QFC arena, breaking cage doors along the way, before being signed by the United States Fighting Championship (USFC) promotion. After losing his initial two bouts, Campion went on a five fight winning streak, submitting and beating down the opposition along the way. In his last three bouts, however, he is 1-2, bringing his hype train to a crawl for the time being. This bout with Gracie will be the Highland Games debut for Thomas Campion.

Guest Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 [Main Card] http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/28/28b2.jpgversushttp://mmatycoon.com/gallery/36/36b20.jpg (Bantamweight bout) Dan Small (15-10) versus Jandre Vorster (19-5) (Preview) Dan Small is a veteran Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner who holds a brown belt in the art. He has most recently adopted a more mixed style of training in order to conquer the world of mixed martial arts instead. He made his debut on Season 3 of The Island, where he fought exclusively for Highland Games early on; he submitted his way through the HG bamtamweight division, defeating the middle of the pack before falling victim to Serge Ibaka in a well deserved title shot. Small defeated Wid Ing for the second time before The Island ended. In the finale tournament, Small made it to the second round (out of five) before he was horribly mangled and defeated by Dan Sten. Post-Island, we have seen Small compete four times for GAMMA: Contenders, but only faced Zoran Milosvevich. Literally, only four times. He beat him one of those times, and was defeated the other three times, because fuck it, right? Let's keep trying that. After changing management teams, Dan Small was invited to Highland Games once again. He has played a game of win-some, lose-some, with big wins over BJ Arnold, Frank Arnold, (Hey Arnold...) Renato Laranja, and a few others. Most recently, Small was defeated in a rematch with BJ Arnold. Jandre Vorster is a QFC Tournament Champion, submitting his way through the competition to win the glory. He fought twice in standard QFC shows before signing with Tradition FC. In his third TFC fight, Vorster submitted Jim Murphy to claim the bantamweight championship; Vorster defended this belt four times before losing it to Sven Tveskabb. After winning four bouts, including a rematch with Fred Simmons, Vorster would eventually defeat Tveskabb to reclaim his lost title. Unfortunately, he would lose the title in the conclusive rubbermatch. With nothing left to do in Tradition FC, Vorster signed with Highland Games, losing to Jet Hemi in his debut. He won a pair of fights, including a big win over Serge Ibaka, but most recently lost to Neil Drake at Highland Games 174. http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/16/16w24.jpgversushttp://mmatycoon.com/gallery/22/22w9.jpg (Welterweight bout) Alexander Stubb (17-4) versus Oliver Dickens (11-6) (Preview) Alexander Stubb is a very well rounded former boxer from Helsinki. During Season 4 of The island, Stubb fought for Highland Challenge, winning the welterweight championship in his fourth professional bout. In a touch of irony, Stubb would lose his belt to the very man that he knocked out to claim it: Oliver Dickens. Stubb would get to defend it one time before losing it, however. Alexander Stubb rebounded with a big win over Bman Olot and would face the new welterweight champion, Perry Hughes, once again claiming the title. This time, Stubb would leave the promotion with a belt around his waist, opting instead to fight for The Leftovers promotion. After two big stoppage victories in The Leftovers, Stubb was knocked out by Fernardu Palmier in the third round, when Stubb challenged him for his welterweight title. Stubb would compete once more for The Leftovers, bringing his record with them to 3-1, before fighting in the season finale tournament. Stubb advanced into the semi-finals of the final tourney, but fell victim to a late submission by Keto Belle in a bout which Stubb was winning. Alexander Stubb returned to his roots after The Island, signing with Highland Games, and defeating Zadimus Delacroix in his debut. Stubb stopped Guy Bruh sand Razval Saraev, two impressive wins, but was submitted by Ty Semerad. In his most recent bout, Stubb knocked out Mehmet Muhammad in the second round. Oliver Dickens, also known as “Smasher”, is a veteran Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter. In school, he had competed as a wrestler as well, giving him a very solid takedown game to support his submission abilities. Dickens fought in the third season of The Island, using a ground and pound style of attack to smash opponents from the top position. In his MMA debut, he beat the hell out of Rex Robinson in the QFC before being picked up by Highland Challenge. In H. Challenge, Dickens defeated Nicklas Lidstrom, cutting him up with elbows from above to force an inevitable stoppage from the bleeding. Due to his popularity in the cage and on the mic, Oliver Dickens faced off against 4-0 brawler with a purple belt Kobe Bryan for the vacant Highland Challenge welterweight title. The fight would go the distance, the first time that either man had ever gone further than the second round in professional MMA. The professed ground skills of Bryan would do little to slow the assault of the relentless Dickens, who maintained the top position and hammered away at Bryan from above. Dickens actually scored a 10-8 round in the opening round, and dominated every other round with superior wrestling to win the fight. Oliver Dickens next faced a man that, by now, you've heard of in Alexander Stubb. Dickens was a heavy favorite coming into this match, but was hammered with heavy punches on the feet and knocked out cold; his hype train was derailed before it even officially left the station. After stopping Roger Boss, Dickens was granted a rematch with Stubb, with the welterweight title being a bit of an afterthought; Dickens wanted revenge first, glory second. This time, Dickens scored an early takedown, changing the direction of the entire fight; Dickens pounded Stubb into the floor, stopping him with strikes late in the opening round. As an added bonus, Oliver Dickens was once again the undisputed welterweight champion. Much like Robert Baratheon, Dickens is fantastic at winning the crown but terrible at maintaining it; he attempted to defend his belt, only to get stopped by Perry Hughes via first round TKO. But the king of the rematches was granted a second shot at Hughes following a Dickens style beat down of Bman Olot. Dickens proved that there is nobody he can't beat the second time when he smashed Hughes for five rounds, winning the decision and claiming the welterweight title for the third time. And then, Dickens lost the title to Gary Glover in his very first title defense. And then, The Island ended; Dickens was invited to the tournament finale, smashing yet another Kobe in Kobe Kage, but was defeated via unanimous decision by Razval Saraev. Oliver Dickens signed with Highland Games post-Island, stopping Mathew The Devil and Tong Po before losing back-to-back matches against Mehmet Muhammad and Bill Bremmer. In his most recent bout, Dickens out pointed Buvaisar Hamidovich to win a unanimous decision. http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/23/23w12.jpgversushttp://mmatycoon.com/gallery/39/39w36.jpg (Heavyweight bout) Edward Bravie (17-2) versus Kalle Kettu (14-7) (Preview) Edward Bravie is a veteran kick boxer, having competed on Season 3 of The Island in the K-1 league Pride KT. With a Pride KT record of 5-0, which concluded with Bravie winning the PKT heavyweight title, he was invited to the season finale tournament. In the tourney, Bravie knocked out Sonny Bradford, Rodney Jackson, and Troy Kirkland to become the S3 Tournament Champion. Following his tenure on The Island, Edward made the transition into mixed martial arts, knocking out Sipho Kunene in the QFC to make his presence known. He was quickly signed by Solitude FC, where he won all four of his bouts via first or second round knock out. Despite having never lost a fight during a professional sports match, Bravie parted ways with his longtime management team and training camp in order to join a more MMA focused team. Having found new surroundings which would benefit him more, Edward Bravie signed an exclusive deal with Highland Games, stopping Fray Bentos at Highland Games 135. Following successful stoppages of Paulo Lazaro and Dave Ysengrin, Bravie was knocked out for the first time in his career when he faced off against Doyle Brunson. Bravie rebounded when he knocked out Ronald Rosing, but was once again stopped when he faced elite boxer Mitchel Thompson. Kalle Kettu is a former professional boxer that had dreams of being a cage fighter. With his pugilist career not going in the direction that he wished it to, Kettu seized the opportunity to join Season 4 of The Island. Although he lost his first three bouts, Kalle Kettu showed incredible promise within the Highland Challenge league, knocking out the likes of Jean Jacques Machado, John Machado, and Phil Hellmuth Jr. On a three fight winning streak, Kettu faced off against the only man to stop him in MMA, Dave Ysengrin, in a bid to claim the Highland Challenge heavyweight crown. Ysengrin would knock Kettu out cold with a heavy punch; Kettu would win his next about but would opt not to re-sign with Highland Challenge. Instead, Kettu signed with Solitude FC, where he went 2-1 before The Island came to a close. Kettu took place in the finale tournament, fighting his way to the finals, where he was once again stopped by Dave Ysengrin. I can only imagine that Kettu recreated the scene from The Waterboy where Henry Winkler tells his mother on the phone, “I hate him, I hate him, I hate him” while stomping his heel. Following The Island, Kalle Kettu was invited to compete in Brazil under the Rio Chain Gang banners, with a guaranteed title shot written into his contract. At RCG 1, Kettu knocked out Bruce Honeybottom, whom he was already 2-0 against, to claim the RCG heavyweight title. Kettu knocked out Roan Jenkinson to defend his belt, but was out pointed by Lars Kristoffer, robbing him of his gold. Kalle Kettu fought for the last time under the RCG banner, competing on pay-per-view for the first time in his career, where he knocked out Jumbo Mambo in the opening round. Most recently, Kettu has made his Highland Games debut, getting out pointed by Barol Kedorf en route to a unanimous decision loss. http://i.imgur.com/qCvQhQQ.jpg (Welterweight bout) Tony Bullard (28-6) versus The Bishop of Bath and Wells (11-4) (Preview) Tony Bullard, aka “The Wrecking Ball”, is a Muay Thai stylist that has reached the absolute pinnacle of a fighter's technical abilities; he is truly an elite among the elites in the sport of Muay Thai boxing. Bullard has taken part in some form of kick boxing since he was young, competing in Karate tournaments, Muay Thai fights, and even the occasional kick boxing bout around the UK. As a contestant on Season 3 of The Island, Bullard more than earned his reputation as a finisher, never once going the distance across seventeen fights, including fighting his way into the semi-final round of the finale tournament. After an uninspired debut performance in the QFC, Tony fought for Attack Fight League, where he finished five consecutive opponents via TKO en route to a shot at the vacant welterweight title. In that bout, he faced off against Psycho Island for the right to call himself the AFL champion. The fight would not last long, with Bullard hammering Island with strikes to win via third round stoppage. After successfully defending his AFL title two times, Tony moved on to the greener pastures of Executioner FC, stopping Chin Checker in the opening round. At World Combat 14, an Executioner FC event, Tony unified his welterweight title with that of the AFL's welterweight division when he knocked out Quinn Kenobi. With only one event remaining on The Island, Tony Bullard defended his second title when he stopped Ska Asap in the opening round. Asap would become somewhat of a rival, as Bullard had stopped him twice by the time of the Season Finale Tournament. In the final tournament, Jack pounded his way through the competition, stopping Boss Howard, Cfany Cfaniak, and Archie Nelson to get him into the semi-final round. In the fourth round, Bullard faced defeat for the first time in sixteen fights, when Ska Asap submitted him in the opening round; Asap would go on to win the finale tournament, robbing fans of the fireworks they were anticipating between Bullard and tournament runner-up Mario Barontini. After the tournament, Tony Bullard opted to remain with Executioner FC, defending his welterweight title against Ska Asap, officially closing the door on their longtime feud once and for all. Bullard then fought a non-title bout against former Executioner FC middleweight champion Shoddy Body, stopping him with absolute ease. Tony Bullard then dropped down to lightweight, knocking out Better Dead to claim the EFC lightweight championship, making him a two division champion. Bullard defended his welterweight belt against Oleg Bartowski and Better Dead before moving back down to lightweight to defend the 155lb belt. This time, Bullard would be defeated by former Executioner FC lightweight champion Garrick Head, who was one of only two men to knock Papa Shango out cold. Following this defeat, Bullard vacated his welterweight title when he signed with Highland Games; he made his HG debut at Highland Games 95, rematching Shoddy Body with similar results as their first meeting. Although he was submitted in his second appearance, Bullard won three consecutive fights, stopping all three opponents in the first or second round, earning him the opportunity to face off against Roberto Silva for the Highland Games lightweight championship of the world. The match took place at Highland Games 120, with Bullard struggling to keep up with the Jiu-Jitsu elite; Silva would defend his title with a dramatic first round kneebar over the former AFL and Executioner FC champion. Bullard non-chalantly knocked out Tim Woods before moving back up to welterweight, challenging John Askren for the Highland Games welterweight title.The two world champions would take turns dominating the opening two rounds, but Askren would pin the heavy handed Bullard on the floor, with his back to the cage, and would pound on him with punches and elbows, which accumulated and resulted in Bullard being knocked out cold for the first time in his MMA career. In his next three bouts, Bullard won high profile matches against QFC light-heavyweight tournament champion Ty Semerad, Tradition FC Hall of Famer Marcus Hand Grenade, and former Highland Games middleweight champion Razor MuayThai. Bullard finished Semerad in a brutal twelve second display. The Bishop of Bath and Wells, aka The Bishop, is a legendary street fighter from Banbury, England, known for his hard chin and even harder fists. He has never met an opponent that he couldn't hurt with punches; all eleven of his defeated opponents were beaten by knockout. Before he started fighting in the bigger shows, The Bishop was a regular in the dimly lit parking lot QFC shows; he fought in the kinds of events that used actual chains instead of chain-link fencing for walls. If you were knocked out or maimed in these shows, there was no doctor to take care of you- the bouncers would just drag you into the alley and drop $50 on your chest. It was all part of the game, and The Bishop dominated in this life-or-death environment. With a QFC record of 4-1, with his debut performance being a submission loss to David C. Marvin, The Bishop was given his big break, when he signed to fight for Underground MMA. The locale wasn't much better, taking place in a strip mall titty bar, but at least they had a ringside doctor. And the pay was much improved; for the first time, The Bishop was making thousands instead of hundreds. The Bishop made short work of his opening opponent, a cheeky slugger from Ireland named Phillip Flannigan. Their entire fight would only go forty-five seconds, with both men swinging wild and hard, trying to knock the other's head off with every strike thrown. The Bishop would be the one left standing, as the officials checked Flannigan's pulse before reassuring the crowd that he was “still breathing”. The Bishop was defeated for the first time in his life due to strikes when he faced off against the very technical Low Ki- The Bishop would fall in the third round of a back-and-forth battle of wills. After losing his next bout via unanimous decision, The Bishop would go on to win back-to-back fights via first round knock out. With his contract renewal coming around, The Bishop was approached by Callum McGregor, who was offering a much bigger payday to bring his talents to the Highland Games show; Callum promised to put The Bishop in an actual arena, seating fifteen thousand or more, instead of the clubs he was performing in with his current deal. The Bishop signed the contract and said that he just wanted to get paid for knocking people out, but acknowledged that, with a bigger audience, he will get tougher nuts to crack. Indeed he would: at Highland Games 139, The Bishop made his debut against Tway Ma Shaung, undefeated kickboxer and Island Final Tournament champion. Ma Shaung came out aggressive, believing that he would have the edge on the feet; he was sorely mistaken, as The Bishop hammered him with punches that mangled the man and put him out cold. The Bishop was stopped for the second time in his career to strikes when he faced crafty veteran and former Solitude FC welterweight champion Zadimus Delacroix, who proved to be just a step above the brawler in terms of technical skills. The Bishop has defeated top notch opponents since then, including Mehmet Muhammad and Razval Saraev. http://i.imgur.com/1AdmaCK.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20140926172750titlebelt.png (Lightweight Championship bout) Cholo Van Gaal (12-4) versus Papa Shango© (21-9) (Preview) Cholo Van Gaal started his caerer in professional fisticuffs back in Spain, where he fought as an amateur boxer, going 10-0 before deciding that he wanted to get paid for his work. At the age of eighteen, Cholo made his debut a professional boxer, taking the world of the sweet science by storm. By the age of twenty, with an undefeated record, Van Gaal became the featherweight world champion in boxing. With pugilism conquered, Cholo Van Gaal set his sights on the rising sport of mixed martial arts. He retired his featherweight belt and began training with collegiate wrestlers, as well as training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, all to prepare for his inevitable MMA debut. CVG made his mixed martial arts debut in the QFC arena, but he had a contract lined up with Tradition Fight Club. There was a lot of hype surrounding the debut of Van Gaal; boxing and MMA fans alike tuned in to watch the former featherweight champion put on the 4oz gloves. In the QFC, Van Gaal was paired up with undefeated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blue belt named Anthony Smith in a highly touted style-versus-style clash. After surviving two early takedowns, and actually reversing the submission grappler on the ground, Van Gaal got to his feet and went to work; with less than a minute left on the clock, Van Gaal hammered Smith with punches on the feet, rocking him badly before finishing him with a leaping left hook. In his Tradition FC debut, Cholo Van Gaal stopped Paulo Vilasboas with a barrage of strikes, winning Fight of the Night honors in the process. In his next bout, Van Gaal faced off against rising contender Chester Emerson. In the pre-fight buildup, Emerson made the trash talk personal, denouncing the boxing champion's MMA skill set and honor. In the fight, Emerson would overwhelm the young slugger in the clinch, pinning him against the cage and hammering him with short punches. Early into the second round, Emerson rocked Van Gaal with heavy hooks and uppercuts, dropping him and forcing the stoppage. Cholo Van Gaal rebounded with a first round knockout victory over Julian Eduardo Demaestri and was given a chance to avenge his only professional defeat in a championship clash against Chester Emerson. With the vacant lightweight championship on the line, the two warriors met for the second time. Say what you will about Cholo Van Gaal, but he works to improve his weaknesses; this time, he came prepared to clinch against the Greco Roman wrestler. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be enough; Chester Emerson dominated the fight whenever the men clinched up against the cage, which they did for the vast majority of the bout. Cholo Van Gaal won three consecutive bouts via knockout, tearing his way through the lightweight division, and proving that he was among the greatest that the Tradition FC lightweight division had ever witnessed. At Tradition XLIV, Van Gaal challenged Carl Jamison for the lightweight title. Once again, Van Gaal struggled against against another heavy handed clinch fighter, and eventually succumbed to strikes before Jamison just seconds into the final round. Cholo Van Gaal knocked out Oscar Orling and Victor Estima, but lost a majority decision against BYFC and Tradition FC lightweight veteran Where Yo Girl. Cholo only fought once more for Tradition FC, knocking out Caleb Smith late in the opening round. Following his last fight for Tradition FC, Cholo Van Gaal signed with Highland Games, smashing Highland veteran Warren Parker in his debut performance. Next, Van Gaal knocked out former Highland Games lightweight champion Mustafa Shabazz. In his most recent fight, Van Gaal defeated former two time Highland Games lightweight champion Zoran Jolevi via unanimous decision. Papa Shango has practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since he was four years old, training daily in a family operated school. Even as a young kid, Papa Shango was believed to be the “next big thing” in the sport of mixed martial arts. At the age of sixteen, Papa obtained his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and began to compete on the world stage. In mixed martial arts, there has only been one real criticism for Papa: if he can't get the fight to the ground, he becomes frustrated and has very little striking to fall back on. Despite this flaw, Shango has been a dominant force in MMA. He made his debut at Season 3 of The Island, dominating his way through the QFC before signing to fight for the Attack Fight League. Papa's first major setback hit when he faced off against Jason Smith, another world class Jiu-Jitsu competitor; Shango would fall into a guillotine during a scramble and would be forced to submit in the opening round. Shango submitted two foes to get within striking distance of the reigning lightweight champion, Gottlieb Hiebknect. The fight would take place at AFL – Choke On This, an aptly named event, as Shango went into the match with the intention of getting Hieb. In a strangle hold. Things would not go this way, however, as Hiebknect would survive on the ground, get to his feet, and work Shango over with three minutes to go in the match; Shango would eventually wilt under the strikes of the lightweight champion. After being choked out in his next bout, Shango would end his time on The Island with two consecutive submission victories, getting the former AFL title challenger invited to the finale tournament. Papa Shango dominated his way through three rounds of the tournament, submitting every man placed before him, but was ultimately out pointed by Calvin Brooks (whom Shango had defeated en route to his title shot). In his post-Island career, Papa Shango returned to Executioner FC, who he had fought for briefly on The Island. In his first EFC bout on the mainland, Shango was defeated by Better Dead in a bid for the EFC lightweight championship. Ironically, Papa Shango had previously submitted Dead in the third round of the finale tournament not long before. Papa Shango would win two and lose one inbetween before being matched up against Fernando Diaz for the vacant lightweight title. This time, at long last, the stars aligned for Shango, who caught Diaz in an early arm triangle choke, forcing the Jiu-Jitsu ace to submit. Papa Shango had claimed a championship on the world stage. With his contract up, Papa Shango played to the free agency market and was offered a lucrative contract to fight for Highland Games, which featured talent from Season 3 and Season 4 of The Island. Although he would go an abysmal 1-2 in his first three bouts, including rematches against Zoran Jolevi and Calvin Brooks, Shango would go on a three fight winning streak. Papa Shango once again found himself knocking on the door of a seemingly unstoppable world champion; Roberto Silva was the former two time Highland Games lightweight champion of the world, as well as the former Ring of Violence featherweight champion, and was on a three fight winning streak as well. Silva was 5-3 in championship fights, compared to Shango's much more humble title fight record of 2-2. The match took place at Highland Games 164; with much hype and to-do surrounding the event, it was expected to be a grappling display for the ages. Instead, we saw Papa Shango make the reigning lightweight champion look like he was standing still. Shango clinched and pulled guard almost immediately, giving Silva the dominant position on top. Silva responded by going for a high risk heel hook against the former EFC champion- Shango nullified the attempt and retained full guard, locking Silva in tight. Silva tried to pass the guard, but in the process let his own guard down, and Papa Shango knew what to do next: he wrapped his legs around the head and arm of Roberto Silva and squeezed down with everything that he had. Shango put every ounce of energy that he had into the hold, letting every loss he had suffered fuel him in his monumental effort; Silva tried not to tap, fought the choke with expert precision, but ultimately submitted just before the lights shut out. An emotional Papa Shango comforted his opponent before celebrating with his corner. As Highland Games president Callum McGregor wrapped the gold belt around the waist of Papa Shango, a true sense of being at home washed over the new lightweight champion of the world. To truly be a champion, you have to do more than win a belt: you have to defend the belt. This is a feat that had thus far escaped the new champion, as he never renewed his contract with Executioner FC. In his first title defense attempt, Shango was paired up with George Moshington, whom he had submitted in his Highland debut. To hype the event, Moshington spoke of the changes he had made to his fighting style since their first meeting; indeed, he was not the same man as he had been prior. He had improved his wrestling base, and obtained a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. To prepare for this match, Moshington trained with elite Jiu-Jitsu players at the LOD private training facility. Although Moshington would hurt Shango with punches in the third round, the wrestling-intensive strategy of the lightweight champion would wear on Moshington, who would eventually succumb to a fifth round kimura.

Guest Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Highland Games http://mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/14407183641428187949Logonew2.png Highland Games 180 is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by Highland Games, in conjunction with Highland Clothing and Hoarseplay Writing Productions, on June 5, 2016. This showcase attraction will take place at the Wombley Arena in London, England. Heavyweight Dave Ysengrin versus Vitaly Karelin Heavyweight Dick Schneeger versus Phil Hellmuth Jr© Welterweight Zadimus Delacroi versus John Askren© Middleweight Massa Hurmaaja versus Arthur Schopenhauer Featherweight Luiz Diaz versus Glorious Superior Lightweight George Moshington versus Soto Rojas Super-heavyweight Squiggy Squirrelly versus Jerry Haze© Light-heavyweight Julian Drotski versus Roberto Boucher Featherweight L Manning Hines versus Darko Vader Bantamweight Thaddeus Fitzgerald versus Dave Kopp [undercard Fights] http://i.imgur.com/3pWtwwZ.jpg (Bantamweight Division) Thaddeus Fitzgerald (15-11) versus Dave Kopp (12-6) (Preview) Thaddeus Fitzgerald utilizes a Muay Thai style to great effect when he fights. He is the former Executioner FC bantamweight champion and multi-time award winner. Fitzgerald competed in Season 3 of The Island. Thaddeus started his career in the Chaos promotion during Season 3 of The Island, knocking out Cooper Higgins in just nine seconds. After this event, Thaddeus fought three times in the QFC, winning once, before competing under the Attack Fight League banners. In AFL, he accumulated a record of 2-1 with a big win over former Island champion Jeffery Lebowski. After returning to action in the Executioner FC promotion, Thaddeus appeared in the finale tournament; he knocked out Jet Hemi before getting submitted by Renato Laranja. Thaddeus remained with Executioner FC post-Island, besting Bobby Bob Bob to win the EFC Bantamweight Championship; Thaddeus attempted to defend his title against Devin Jaqquard, but was defeated via unanimous decision. With his title run grounded before it could even take off, Thaddeus finished out his contract with Executioner by knocking out Bobby Bob Bob once more. After failing to secure a win during two fights for Imperial MMA, Thaddeus signed with Highland Games, going on a rapid four fight winning streak before dumping his management team. Thaddeus dropped a pair of consecutive fights against world class submission fighters and former world champions in Jackson Ramos and Neil Drake. Most recently, Thaddeus Fitzgerald was defeated by QFC Welterweight Tournament Champion John Pinaglabanan, via unanimous decision. Dave Kopp is the epitome of powerhouse wrestler; he utilizes a mixed strategy of boxing and wrestling to smash opponents, keeping the fight wherever he feels the strongest. After winning a pair of QFC fights, Dave was ready for the big show: he signed with the Elite Canadian Fighting Championship promotion. In ECFC, Dave bested a pair of opponents before challenging for the bantamweight championship. The new champion, Johnny McHail, was considered to be the antithesis to the strengths of Dave Kopp; Johnny was a very heavy pugilist with a strong submission game off of his back. It was believed, at the time, that the style of Johnny McHail would be too much for Dave Kopp; nothing could be further from the truth. Dave took Johnny down and battered him with ground and pound for two-and-a-half rounds, hurting him with a big elbow from mount in the third. Kopp sensed that he had hurt the champion and pushed for the finish, landing shots from all angles in mount; McHail rolled to his side and covered his head, simply looking to survive the final minute, but the referee halted the match. Dave Kopp was the ECFC bantamweight champion. Dave Kopp would lose his championship in his very first defense, when he was defeated via unanimous decision by Chappie Ragnard. Dave promptly signed with La Grande Promotions of New York next, challenging Stumpy Johnson for the LGP featherweight world title in his first match. This time, the fight wouldn't leave the second round, as Kopp overwhelmed yet another young champion with strikes. Kopp faced a pair of world beaters in his three title defenses: James Morales and Peter James, defending his title in all three appearances. Under new management, Dave Kopp signed with Highland Games.... and his career took a nosedive into obscurity. Across eight showings with Highland Games, Kopp has won three times. In his defense, he has fought killers in every HG performance. Most recently, Kopp was knocked out by John Pinaglabanan. http://i.imgur.com/zHQ3lDx.jpg (Featherweight Division) L Manning Hines (11-3) versus Darko Vader (7-4-1) (Preview) L Manning Hines is a veteran of the QFC 531 Featherweight Tournament; using his strong Jiu-Jitsu base, he advanced through the four rounds to become the tournament winner. Following the QFC Tournament, Hines fought four bouts for the Ultimate Pit Fighting promotion, winning twice. Next, he continued his winning streak in the Rag Tag Fight League, submitting Mike Sweat and Mamad Gasanov, before signing with Highland Games. Aside from a setback in the form of a TKO loss to Glorious Superior, Hines has won three matches within Highland, battering opponents with powerful strikes while threatening with submissions. Most recently, he defeated Gus Pappas via unanimous decision. Darko Vader is a heavy handed brawler of small town fame, where he fought five times in local QFC bouts. His aggressive striking style has created a kill or be killed dynamic in his fights: he will knock you out or die trying. None of his fights have gone the distance. After winning four of five QFC matches, Vader fought in Ultimate Pit Fighting; his career hit its all time high when he challenged Tanner Pounds for the UPF featherweight crown. Unfortunately, he would get hurt early and ultimately lose the match; after this loss, Vader signed with Highland Games, where he has only won once (against Hit Run). http://i.imgur.com/XEwoIDr.jpg (Light-heavyweight Division) Julian Drotski (6-2) versus Roberto Boucher (12-8) (Preview) Julian Drotski is a catch wrestler that dominated his way through the regional shows, winning six consecutive QFC bouts via first round (and often first minute) submission. Drotski has fought twice for Highland Games, falling victim to a first round knockout at the hand(s) of Gerrald James, and a doctor stoppage in his bout with Gavin Shamrock. Roberto Boucher is a veteran knockout artist that competed on Season 4 of The Island. After fighting his earliest bouts in Highland Challenge, Boucher signed with Solitude. Although he would challenge for the Solitude light-heavyweight crown, he would fall victim to a first round stoppage due to strikes. In the finale tournament, Boucher would smash his way through the first three rounds before getting stopped by Nuke Laloosh. Roberto has since signed with Highland Games, where he holds a record of 2-3. Most recently, he was knocked out by Gerrald James. http://i.imgur.com/3z4DQgF.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20140926172750titlebelt.png(Super-heavyweight Divison, Championship bout) Squiggy Squirrelly (4-0) versus Jerry Haze© (13-2) Squiggy Squirrelly is a man that just loves to fight; he has competed in various sports, including: wrestling, Karate, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu throughout his life. His passion, however, is boxing; he had dreams as a kid of being among the all time greats in the sport of boxing. He started competing in mixed martial arts on a whim; there was a local promotion running a QFC match, and Squirrelly wanted to test his abilities with a real bout. He did that and then some, when he knocked out Ohm Melet in two minutes flat. Squirrelly returned to the cage, besting Juarez Del Fuago via unanimous decision. Since then, Squiggy has fought twice for Highland Games; he has defeated Brian Jones and Ricky Monroe, earning him this championship clash with Haze. Jerry Haze, nicknamed “Hurricane”, is a multi-division world champion in Muay Thai bouts, and has fought professionally as a boxer as well. In mixed martial arts, he is the reigning super-heavyweight champion of the Highland Games organization. Jerry Haze began his mixed martial arts career in the Darkness FC promotion; although he was submitted in his debut performance, he returned to the cage some time later to continue his MMA progress. Returning to mixed martial arts, Haze fought exclusively for Choke MMA, a smaller company based in Japan. Haze would obliterate four consecutive opponents while competing for Choke; the money was decent, but he had bigger goals than what Choke could afford him. Next, Haze fought for Executioner FC, defeating three men, including TWGC veteran Kirk Lancaster. Jerry Haze fought briefly for Havoc; after defeating two opponents, he was defeated for the second time in his mixed martial arts career, losing a unanimous decision against Rocco Falcone. Haze would only fight once more for Havoc, opting to finish out his contract there and move on. Following his final Havoc fight, Jerry Haze was signed to Highland Games, where he defeated Garrick Head to earn himself a title shot. At Highland Games 160, Haze stopped Lukas Niemayer to claim the inaugural super-heavyweight championship of the world. Haze has since defended the belt against Pluto Myles, winning via split decision.

At the closure of his time on Season 3 of The Island, George was ranked as #1 at lightweight, making him one of the hottest prospects in the world at the time of The Island finale. On The Island, George competed in the Highland Games promotion, accumulating a seven fight winning streak before choking out Derrick Jones to become the undisputed Highland Games lightweight champion. In the finale tournament, George would knock out Oscar Timanee before falling victim to a second round TKO at the hands of Jack Stick, ending his winning streak. Post-Island, George was knocked out by Zoran Jolevi in his first mainland title defense; after going on a three fight losing skid, winning one of his last five, George rebounded with three straight stoppage victories. George continued his winning ways, although he was defeated in his next bid to claim the elusive lightweight championship, when he was out pointed by Rama Udo. George Moshington has faced some of the very best in the world, including Zoran Jolevi, Papa Shango, and Calvin Brooks, among many, many others. Most recently, George's four fight winning streak was snapped when he was defeated by defending lightweight champion Papa Shango, in a rematch of their October 10th, 2015 meeting. Soto Rojas is a strong Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, holding a purple belt in BJJ, as well as a technical kick boxer. In his early career, Soto won the Underground MMA lightweight championship with a second round submission over Jorma Niemi. Soto Rojas defended this title five times, stopping every challenger that he faced. At DFC 29, Soto's winning streak was ended by Blind Mouse, who stole his championship in the process. Soto attempted to avenge this loss and reclaim the title two fights later, but faced the exact same outcome as their first meeting. After changing management teams on a two fight losing streak, Soto signed with Highland Games and rebounded with two victories. Most recently, he has been defeated by Claudemir Bonanza and Zoran Jolevi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 [Main Card] http://i.imgur.com/QoCrdBY.jpg (Featherweight Division) Luiz Diaz (9-3) versus Glorious Superior (18-3) (Preview) Luiz Diaz is a Swedish based mixed martial arts fighter and multi-time regional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament champion. Luiz holds a puprle belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which he utilizes as his mainstay in combat; however, Luiz has recently moved to Los Angeles, California, and has become quite the adept boxer as well. Luiz started his mixed martial arts career in Season 4 of The Island, where he fought for Highland Challenge. At Highland Challenge 18, Luiz faced Quintonio Vazquez for the lightweight championship. After holding his own in the early goings, controlling the pace of the fight with his wrestling, Luiz was stunned early by a hard punching combination early in the third round. A bloody Diaz got to his feet and attempted to regain control of the fight, but failed to recovery as Vazquez pressured him with strikes. Vazquez would ultimately win via TKO to retain his lightweight title. After dominating a pair of opponents, Luiz was defeated by Hugo Jimenez, ending his contract with Highland Challenge. Luiz signed with Solitude, where he submitted Moe Szyslak and Darko Vader to complete his tenure on The Island. Luiz Diaz was not invited to the finale tournament; instead, he signed straight away with Highland Games. Luiz is currently on a five fight winning streak, with victories over James Krause, Isaac Bennet, and Dang Sai in his most recent showings. Before I start telling you about Glorious Superior, I want to tell you that it's rare that a fighter's avatar makes me laugh out loud. Chief Toppenahomma got me first... and now, Glorious Superior has made me spit my tea back into the cup a little. That is pretty damned Glorious, my Dear Leader. Glorious Superior is a very high level Jiu-Jitsu fighter with an impressive collegiate background wrestling pedigree behind him as well. Glorious is also a comptent kick boxer, although he would obviously prefer to get you to the ground, where he is dominant. Glorious competed on Season 4 of The Island, where he was ranked among the top five best fighters to compete in the lightweight division. This former Solitude Lightweight Champion attended the finale tournament, where he was defeated in the finals, earning himself the silver medal. Glorious Superior started his MMA career in the QFC, besting two men with his powerful wrestling; he quickly attracted the attention of Solitude, who signed him to an exclusive fight contract. With Solitude, Glorious Superior fought into a four fight winning streak before submitting Wilson Wills to become the undisputed lightweight champion. Glorious defended his title by battering Xander Graves on the feet, on the ground, and in the clinch; he hurt Graves late in the fight, and ultimately stopped him with strikes midway through the final round. In his second title defense, Glorious was out pointed by former Solitude champion Wilson Wills, who he had defeated to claim the title. Glorious attempted to reclaim his title in a trilogy match with Wills, but was defeated via unanimous decision once again. After this loss, Glorious fought three more times in Solitude, smashing every man placed in his path. The Glorious Superior reign of terror extended into the finale tournament, where Superior submitted three men to get into the finals. To win the final lightweight fight of The Island, Glorious Superior faced off with his arch nemesis: Wilson Wills. Glorious once again was defeated via unanimous decision. Glorious parted ways with his management team following his time on The Island, and promptly signed with Highland Games. Glorious is currently on a four fight winning streak, with wins over James Krause, Hit Run, and L Manning Hines. http://i.imgur.com/k0ZruF2.jpg (Middleweight Division) Massa Hurmaaja (25-8) versus Arthur Schopenhauer (19-4) (Preview) Massa Hurmaaja is a high level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt and strong freestyle wrestler. He competed in Season 3 of The Island, clearing his way to the finals before falling victim to a big power punch from Arnavut Sevket. Massa started out in the QFC, going 3-0 with all three bouts coming within days of each other. This progress attracted the attention of the Ultimate XC and Attack Fight League promotions, who quickly signed him for single fight contracts (although he fought twice for UXC, failing in a bid for the middleweight title when he challenged Grant Morrison). Massa next fought for Highland Games, defeating legendary opponents in Grant Morrison and Massimo Benvenuti in back-to-back showings; the latter of which earned him the undisputed middleweight championship. In his first bid to defend the title, Massa was defeated by Razor MuayThai via monster head kick in the opening round. Massa bounced back quickly, besting Renato Gracie and Arnavut Savket to earn a rubber match fight with Morrison, who now held the Highland Games middleweight title. This time, Morrison caught him with a spinning back fist to retain his title. Massa Hurmaaja competed in the finale tournament, falling victim to Arnavut Sevket, in a rematch of their Highland Games 55 meeting. Since his time on The Island, Hurmaaja has faced a who's who of elite opponents within Highland Games, including: Razor MuayThai, Rodrigo Rojas, Jon Askren, Pyotr Korobeikin, Grant Morrison, and Massimo Benvenuti (twice). Most recently, Massa Hurmaaja is coming off back-to-back victories over Renati Gracie and Johnny Sitko. Arthur Schopenhauer is a Polish mixed martial arts fighter and former Solitude MMA middleweight champion. He holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and uses a submission-heavy attack style to defeat opponents. Arthur, a fan of The Prodigy, BJ Penn, made his MMA debut on The Island, fighting for Solitude MMA. It was there that he claimed a middleweight championship, when he choked out Erik Thorvaldson in the opening round. Arthur wore his crown with pride, defending it five times before losing it to David Hernandez. Arthur attempted to reclaim his title in an immediate rematch with David, but faced a similar outcome. Arthur competed in the finale tournament, but was defeated via unanimous decision by the former middleweight champion of Kingsford MMA: Mehmet Muhammad. Arthur has since fought exclusively for Highland Games, defeating Bill The Kid, Clark Kent, and Frank Lopez, while losing a tough match against Pyotr Korobeikin. Arthur stopped Ricardo Gerson with strikes in his most recent bout, adding a new threat to the ever growing skill set of the former Solitude middleweight champ. http://i.imgur.com/tDuVpgi.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20140926172750titlebelt.png(Welterweight Division, Championship bout) Zadimus Delacroix (15-5) versus Jon Askren© (19-3) (Preview) The heavy handed Zadimus Delacroix has dabbled in boxing off-and-on since he was a teenager; although he had originally hoped to compete as a Golden Gloves amateur, he instead became enamored with mixed martial arts. He cites his early MMA heroes as Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva, and it shows in his fighting style; although he is very crisp and technical, he loves to brawl with opponents, taking punches to deliver his own punishment in return. Zadimus took his first professional fight at Solitude 2, knocking out Marcus Pullman with four seconds left in the opening round. His second professional fight, against Grant Hetfield, was more akin to the brawling style that has long since become the trademark of a Zadimus Delacroix fight. After Hetfield failed to turn the bout into a clinch war, he opted to instead stand in the pocket and trade punches with the slugger from Argentina. They may tell you that indecision worse than making a bad decision, but in the case of Hetfield... abandoning his wrestling game plan in order to trade leather was a terrible, terrible road to traverse. Zadimus took his best punches and kept coming forward, knocking him unconscious in just over a minute and a half, earning himself KO of the night along the way. Next, Zadimus sent the oddly named BJ Gaylord off to the hospital, putting him away in under two minutes flat. With Zadimus Delacroix having stopped three opponents in three appearances, it became undeniable that we had found a truly deserving candidate for a championship fight. Zadimus happily accepted the bout, stating that he wasn't going to change anything at all... he was going to go in and attempt to knock his opponent out cold, and wouldn't stop fighting until one of them was completely out of the fight. The fight took place at Solitude 13; Delacroix faced off against Keto Belle, the elite brown belt from Jamaica, to claim the inaugural welterweight title. In the fight, Zadimus attempted to use clinchwork to nullify the strong wrestling game of Belle, but was taken down when the other man pulled guard on him. After reversing to the top position, Belle advanced into mount and submitted Delacroix midway through the opening round. In his next bout, Zadimus faced the dangerous Ned Flanders; Zad struggled to keep up with the tireless clinch attacks of Flanders, but caught him with a heavy punch that put him on queer street in the third round. As Flanders attempted to defend himself, Zadimus put it on him with a flurry of strikes that put him down and out early into the round. After knocking out Augusto Vargas, Zadimus was paired up with the new welterweight title holder in Razval Saraev. Zadimus knocked him out in just sixteen seconds to become the new welterweight champion of the world. In his first title defense, Zadimus would once again be submitted via armbar against Ketto Belle, and would once again have to compete as a mere contender. Zadimus took it out on Kaka Papa, brutally knocking him out in the opening round of their match. After stopping Tupa Dufu, Zadimus was given the opportunity to rematch Saraev to once again attempt to claim the title; this time, Saraev would catch Delacroix with punches early, knocking him out for the first time in his life. Zadimus fought once more for Solitude, stopping Paul Maul in just under two minutes time. Zadimus Delacroix competed in the Season 3 Tournament Finale, where he was knocked out by Saraev in the third match of the tourney. In his post-Island career, Zadimus Delacroix has fought exclusively for Highland Games; after getting stopped by Alexander Stubb in his HG debut, he has won four consecutive bouts. In his youth, Jon Askren competed as an amateur freestyle wrestler; while wrestling for the University of Missouri, Jon had only one goal in life: win the Olympic gold medal. Despite being one of the most sound technical wrestlers on his team, he often found himself coming in second when it mattered the most. It wasn't enough for Jon to be considered one of the best wrestlers on his team to not compete in the actual Olympics; he wanted to be the best, period. As his bills started to pile up; rent, family, student loans, Jon would take any odd jobs that he could manage to try to make ends meet. Despite having almost zero down time between jobs, Jon still wrestled; that was the one thing in his life that was steadfast. In his real life, Jon was becoming a bit of a mess, but on the mat he was still among the best in the world. One day in the gym, Jon Askren's friend and training partner Massimo Benvenuti mentioned that he was going to be competing in a mixed martial arts fight. This peaked the interest of Jon Askren, because he had seen the fights on TV and had fantasized about “becoming one of those fighter guys”, but didn't really think it was a possibility. Massimo confirmed that it was a free sign-up; you didn't even need to have experience, although it was recommended. Massimo explained that he was competing in a local QFC bout, which would take place on September 5th. You would just show up, be given some gloves, and randomly be given an opponent that is around your weight. Jon decided to corner Massimo for his QFC bout to at least see how it works; Massimo won via first round knockout against an opponent that didn't look like he had trained in his life. Jon signed up for the very next event, which would take place a little over two weeks later. This time, Massimo worked the corner for Jon, who won his bout via second round stoppage due to a barrage of unanswered strikes from the top position. Askren appeared in the QFC two more times, dominating each opponent with increasing comfort. Jon hadn't considered the possibility of making a career out of MMA; he was fighting for pennies in parking lots. When V-Mask MMA approached Jon, asking him to headline their fourth event card, Jon stopped to ask: why me? As it turned out, Askren had developed somewhat of a local fan following due to his QFC bouts. Jon signed the single fight agreement, slating him to face off against 4-1 brawler Jimmy McNulty. For his part, McNulty only landed one punch before getting taken down and mauled by Askren, who earned yet another first round TKO stoppage. Based on the strength of his four fights, Jon signed an exclusive four-fight contract with the Ring of Violence promotion; after knocking out Bill Gates (no, not that one) in his promotional debut, Jon was defeated by Danny Seagram in a bid for the ROV welterweight championship. Jon fought two more times in the Ring of Violence, stopping Mark Adam and Jason Vezina before moving on to fight for the Highland Games. After defeating a pair of journeyman fighters, Askren knocked out former Highland Games and Executioner FC title holder Razor MuayThai. In his next bout, Askren was defeated for the first time in his career in a non-title bout when he was submitted by Massa Hurmaaja, a talented brown belt and former Highland Games middleweight champion. Askren went on to defeat a pair of former world champions in Rodrigo Rojas and Arnavut Sevket; the latter of which earned him a shot Sevket in the Executioner FC promotion, where Sevket was holding the middleweight title. This time, Arnavut Sevket knocked out Jon Askren, becoming the first and only man to put Askren out cold. Since that defeat to Arnavut Sevket, Jon has not faced defeat in the ring. He defeated three former world champions in Marcus Warring, Grant Morrison, and Angel Face, as well as a very tough top contender in Ty Semerad. The latter victory earned Askren the opportunity to challenge for the Highland Games welterweight championship, aka the weight class that he should have remained in. He started as a welterweight; going into his title match against Tony Bullard, Askren held a professional MMA record of 7-1 as a welterweight. In his clash against Bullard, Askren would dominate the opening round with his wrestling control, battering the champion with stiff ground and pound. Bullard would come back strong to win the second round, but Askren would hurt him with hard shots from full mount in the third, knocking the defending champion out cold. Jon Askren has since defended his title against Lou Hole and Keto Belle. http://i.imgur.com/UZwdD5m.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20140926172750titlebelt.png(Heavyweight Division, Championship bout) Dick Schneeger (12-6) versus Phil Hellmuth Jr© (18-2) (Peview) Dick Schneeger is a world class Muay Thai kick boxer who, after competing professionally in kick boxing, decided to truly test himself by competing as a mixed martial artist. He has since added a strong Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skill set to his repertoire; he holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Dick competed on The Island, in the third season, where he fought as a kick boxer. Once he left The Island for the main land, Dick fought in mixed martial arts, making two appearances in the QFC. Next, he fought for the GAMMA Butt-Stompers promotion; after defeating three opponents, Dick challenged Savage Hulk for the heavyweight title. Fate didn't smile on Dick in this instance, as he was stopped due to strikes late in the opening round. After getting stopped by Stacker Pentacost in his next match, Schneeger signed with Tradition FC; out of four matcehs with Tradition, Schneeger won three bouts in dramatic fashion. Dick Schneeger signed with Highland Games next; after falling victim to a first round knockout at the hands of Davy Nube, Schneeger began a reign of terror over the heavyweight division. Schneeger is currently on a five fight winning streak, including wins over former world champs in Milan Zoranovic and San Terra. Most recently, Schneeger stopped Barol Kedorf. Phil Hellmuth Jr is the reigning Highland Games heavyweight champion of the world, as well as the Island Season Four final tournament champion. This heavy handed boxing specialist is on an incredible fourteen fight winning streak. Phil made his MMA debut in Highland Challenge, stopping Archie MacDuff late in the second round. After falling victim to a first round armbar in his next bout, Hellmuth won three consecutive fights, stopping every opponent placed before him. Phil next fought the future Rio Chain Gang heavyweight champion, Kalle Kettu, falling unconscious under the slugger's fists in the opening round. Phil finished out his Highland Challenge contract on a five fight winning streak; the latter bout saw him knocking out Ivan Spinolio in under two minutes to become the HC super-heavyweight champion of The Island. Phil Hellmuth Jr competed in the Island Season 3 Finale, smashing his way through the tourney with ease, stopping Paulo Lazaro in the finals to win the gold. In his post-island career, Phil Hellmuth has fought exclusively for Highland Games; after winning four consecutive bouts, he stopped reigning heavyweight title holder Alexey Juravlev to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

In his fourth professional fight, Ysengrin knocked out Woody Forrest to become the undisputed Highland Challenge Heavyweight Champion; a title which he would defend five times before losing it to Tito Kerr. Due to his lengthy title reign, Ysengrin was granted an immediate rematch with Kerr, and would go on to knock him out even faster than he had been stopped in their first meeting. Now a two-time H.C. Heavyweight Champ, Ysengrin defended his belt one time, knocking out Doyle Brunson, before falling victim to a first round submission against Hank Holmes. This would be Dave Ysengrin's final fight with Highland Challenge. Ysengrin competed in the S4 Finale tournament, defeating top notch opponents on his way to the finale, where he was knocked out by Doyle Brunson in a rematch of their earlier meeting. In his post-island career, Dave Ysengrin signed with Highland Games, knocking out Hank Holmes, who had submitted him to claim the 'Challenge heavyweight title back on The Island. For Ysengrin, this put him with a bit of a clean slate: everyone that had defeated him, he had also defeated, making them even. Next, Ysengrin stopped Big Tow before getting stopped himself by the heavy handed Edward Bravie. Most recently, Dave Ysengrin has knocked out Benny Askren and Eugene Sandov. Coming off the excitement of his highlight reel knockout of Doyle Brunson, Vitaly Karelin is an Olympic level wrestler that took to the mat to bring glory to the country that he so loved: Russia. Vitaly made the transition to mixed martial arts, following in the footsteps of his idol: Fedor Emelianenko, stating that his goal was to bring a world championship home with him. Karelin started his MMA career with a bang: competing in the Highland Games Heavyweight Tournament, boasting a $1 Million prize to the winner. Karelin bested Sikes Robison and Rowan Albers en route to winning the entire tournament. Vitaly's one true weakness began to hinder him early in his career: his face is prone to receiving cuts, and thus he has a wealth of brittle scar tissue just waiting to burst open on him, leading to many doctor stoppages that he frequently protests. On a three fight winning streak, Vitaly Karelin challenged Alexey Juravlev for the heavyweight crown at Highland Games 165, where he was once again stopped due to the cuts on his face. He has since rebounded with a doctor stoppage over Shane Carmen, and an impressive knockout finish over Doyle Brunson.
