I don't know who "Gil" is but this belt isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

[Guest]

Welcome to another edition of mma talk! We have a treat for you today as we are joined today by the up and coming mma fighter Kyrie Perry.

 

Kyrie Perry: thanks for having me today

 

Reporter: Thanks for cutting your vacation short for me. I hear its a lot to do in Sydney.

 

Kyrie Perry: no problem man. How could I turn down the opportunity to come on mma talk? I love this show!

 

(knock at door)

 

Reporter: seems like we have a guess visitor at the door.

 

(Opens door)

 

Reporter: What are you doing here!? Look, I am in the middle of a interview so I can't talk right now

 

(man pushes by reporter and walks straight over to Kyrie Perry. As the reporter picks himself up, the mystery man is in an intense stare down with Kyrie. A few moments later, the mystery man and Kyrie starts laughing.)

 

Reporter: well it looks like we will be having two guest here today, Kyrie Perry and Thatcher Halverson!

 

Halverson: it look like you almost pissed your pants when you opened the door lol

 

Reporter: Hey what would you expect me to look like? I thought you two are enemys?

 

Halverson: Nah man, kyrie and I are competitors. When we are outside the cage, we are the friendliest people you would ever meet.

 

Reporter: So what made you stop by?

 

Perry: Is everything finalized?

 

Halverson: You know it man! We are teammates now! Leslie Smith is now my manager and agent.

 

Reporter: What!? This is crazy! So how did this happen?

 

Perry: Well after our fight, Thatcher and his management parted ways. When I heard this I called up Leslie Smith right away and told her "sign him asap!" and here we are now.

 

Halverson: I had a few offers from others but Leslie really sold me on her camp. I need someone who can really push me to the next level and that person is kyrie. Kyrie really exposed me in a fashion nobody has done before. After that fight I knew I need to work with him. We are young, very talented, and extremely hungry for that belt.

 

Reporter: Wow. This is all fascinating to hear! So now that I got both of you here, how do you two feel about the most controversial fight card in the history of King of the Beach, KOTB 30: Pra Caramba?

 

Perry: I still can't believe that Ganbaatar Khan got a title shot after getting knocked out in 65 seconds. I am not upset because I didn't get a title shot. Best believe, my time is coming. I am upset because Khan has no business fighting for such a prestigious belt.

 

Halverson: It is known thoughout the mma world that King of the Beach middle weight division is talented. To even be in the top 10 is hard. With the likes of Nathan Fisher, Eric Ashton, Starling Silva, Joe Walcott, Gilbert Melendez, etc. The list just goes on. As a previous champ, I don't believe Khan is worthy of a shot.

 

Reporter: While we are on that topic, there is a lot of title contender talk around you Kyrie. Has management said anything to you?

 

Perry: Yeah management has talked to me. They hinted to me being next in line but truthfully talk is cheap. I was supposedly next in line if I won the match against Thatcher. We all seen what happen. So It will not be real to me until I see the fight offer for me to fight for the middleweight belt.

 

Reporter: there is speculations that the dangerous striker Aedan Declan will be your next opponent. What can you two say about that match-up?

 

Perry: I really was trying not to talk about him in this interview. He is a good fighter, I will give him that. I am just really not a fan of him. He comes from organization that was mediocre and went bankrupted. The first thing he does when he comes to King of the Beach is call Gilbert Melendez a faud and claims he can knock me out in the first round. He has not fought ANYONE of my caliber or Gilberts. Declan is not even in the top #5 in my book. If management send me the fight offer I will accept. Like Gilbert said about Khan, Declan would be an easy paycheck for me.

 

Halverson: it is a big mismatch for Declan. Coming from someone who got his ass kicked by the golden child, I just don't see Declan winning. He is just too one dimensional. I see the fight going to decision with Kyrie winning every round. His wrestling will be too much for Declan to handle.

 

Reporter: alright, before we end this interview lets do some quick questions. Who are the top 5 fighters at King of the Beach?

 

Halverson:

#1 "The Little Ginger Prince" Chris Karter

#2 Sandu "Big Bear" Lungu

#3 Gilbert Melendez

#4 Parker "The Terrorizer" Allen

#5 Starling Silva

 

Perry:

#1 Sandu "Big Bear" Lungu

#2 "The Little Ginger Prince" Chris Karter

#3 Gilbert Melendez

#4 kyrie "The Golden Child" Perry

#5 Parker "The Terrorizer" Allen

 

Reporter: If you was thrown in a jail for 1 year, who would you want as a cellmate?

 

Perry: Sandu Lungu. That guy is hilarious and the biggest mother fucker I know lol.

 

Halverson: I would want to have Yuri "Hands Of Stone" Boyka. He has the biggest name in the jail so who would mess with us?

 

Reporter: last question. Will you two ever fight again?

 

Halverson: Maybe. I am only 19 and Kyrie is only 21 so who knows. But as far as us fighting while we are both under the same management? Never.

 

Perry: I couldn't have said it better. Maybe 7-10 years down the road but as of right now we are teammates. Thatcher will sharpen my skills and I will sharpen his. So don't get your hopes up for a rematch.

 

Reporter: and there you have it. Thanks for tuning in for another edition of mma talk! Until next time!

Ezekiel "Power Trip" Puchowski

8-3 (5-3 KOTB)

Looking forward to our match-up Kanamun!

Can you believe KOTB 1 was three (tycoon) years ago?

Not a lot of us original alumni left except: Zimbardo, Halverson (If he doesn't retire), Campos, & Kassab.

Should be a friendly match-up of KOTB vets!

Halverson: I am not retiring anytime soon buddy! You two put on a good match for everyone!

Aedan Declan (6-0)

"Really happy to see Kyrie Perry stepped up and accepted my challenge. I really hope he believes his wrestling is going to be enough to win him this fight and under-estimates my ability to get back to my feet. My manager Sean McDonnel is thee best ground manager in the sport today and I'll be prepared for this fight no matter where it takes place."

Aye Yai Yai, why for does everyone mess up my name?

[Timqwe]

KOTB 31 Lindo Maravilhoso (Review)

 

145: Alejandro "Osito" Sepulveda vs. Cale "The Doberman" Downes

 

The comeback story lives on. It didn't take “Osito” long to hit Downes hard. Wild combinations forced Downes to move back and after hitting a particully fast one, Sepulveda hurt Downes badly. “Osita” wasn't fast enough to finish though and got caught with the takedown. On the ground developed an interesting battle. Sepulveda, who is less experienced at BJJ than his canine opponent, spent the rest of the round on the bottom, but from there attacked tirelessly with submissions. All those attempts didn't bother Cale though. Downes couldn't put his supperior BJJ to use either. He matched Osito move for move, but failed to win the round.

 

Sepulveda sight from relief when he could return to his feet for the second round. From there the fight was soon over. Preventing to get in more grappling exchanges, he landed a huge uppercut, dropped Downes and finished him with strikes.

 

W: Sepulveda TKO Rd. 2

 

205: Hugo Boss vs. "Hyper" Cingeto Ysengrin

This night was filled with finishes, only two fights went to a decision, and they were back to back. In the first one, two debutants battled. All of the rounds looked the same. The former Twisted finalist Boss clinched up early in the round. In these clinches he didn't land a lot of shots, only landing one third of his head strikes and less than a tenth of his body shots. His overwhelming activity prevented Ysengrin however from landing shot and earned him the rounds on almost every scorecard.

 

W: Boss UD

 

170: Terrence Mitchell vs. Walood "The Dugong" Kassab

The second decision was a lot more even. Mitchell used his wrestling to easily win the first round, taking down Kassab early and grind him out once it got there. Kassab got a referee standup once, but that only resulted in him ending up on his back again. The other two rounds where a whole different story though. Kassab started to move effortlessly in and out of the clinch, boxing him up once it got there. He prevented most of the takedowns, and if he was taken down he made sure to get up quicky. This earned him the decision and he might only be a few wins away from a title shot.

 

W: Kassab UD

 

265+: "Jim" James Gordon vs. Seamus O'Halloran

Next up it was time for the big guys. Just like most big guy fights, this one didn't make it out of the first round. Gordon overwhelmed the former Red Star fighting champion with a barrage of strikes. Out of despiration, O'Halloran moved the fight into the clinch, but there he couldn't get the upper hand on “Jim” either, and got knocked out before even two minutes had past.

 

After the fight Gordon announced his retirement, opting to become personal assistand of co-owner Eddie Nash

 

W: Gordon Rd. 1

 

155: Raecius Felix vs. Lionel "wutUsay" Wright

Felix started the contest faster than Usain Bolt on PED's. He immediatly got the takedown. After that he kept lining up sub after sub attempt. All the grappling training Wright did, payed of though, and although he lost the round handely, he never was really in trouble..

The second round looked to be going the same as the first, wit Wright being on the bottom very soon. However, a minute in, “wutUsay” managed to scramble back to his feet. After that Felix just couldn't bring it back to the ground. The same time, Wright started firing of strikes, hitting Felix with a beautifull high kick and a little after that, a lighning fast left straight, dropping his opponent. After that, Felix could do nothing but turtle up.

 

W: Wright TKO Rd. 2

 

205: Third Round "YOLO" Romero vs. Aleksis Aaltonen

Let's be honest guys, this one was just a slaughter. Aleksis did a good job fighting Romero at range, but got outmuscled everytime it went into the clinch. In the first round Aaltonen got rocked once and dropped twice. A round that certainly was a 10-8 round.

The second round was more of the same. Aaltonen just couldn't deal with Romero's strenght. Ultimatly Romero fired off a use right uppercut, winning him the match and the “KO of the Night” award.

 

W: Romero KO Rd. 2

 

Lightweight Title Fight:
Dag "Dregen" Daghammer vs. "The King of the Beach" Victor Estima

The next fight of the night was the only title fight of the night. Boy did Estima drag the champ into deep waters. The first round was a round that couldn't be more perfect for the self proclaimed “King of the Beach”. He outlanded Daghammer, thought by most people to be the better striker, and mixed that up with lightning fast takedowns, easily winning the first round.

The second round saw Estima gaining even more confidence, abandoning his takedowns, but still outstriking the champ.

Daghammer looked like a broken men, going into the second round. Not a second he got the upperhand, but one punch did it. Just five seconds in he countered a darting in Estima, a perfect recreation of Aldo – McGregor, and finished him off with more punches. Estima was very dazy, tried to grapple the ref and must certainly have a concusion. T

his fight was the fair “Fight of the Night”, and I wouldn't be upposed to seeing an immediate rematch.

 

W: Daghammer TKO Rd. 3

 

265+: Blob "Voodoo Child" Sapp vs. Lucia "Destined" Gracie

Once again a short fight in the heaviest division. Grappling heavy gameplans are always though in the highest divisions, and it showed. Sapp destroyed Gracie in the clinch before finishing off the fight at range. I imagine with this fight Sapp will be the one to face the winner of the fight between the new and the old champion, Griffin and Sandu.

 

W: Sapp TKO Rd.1

 

145 Co-Main Event: Nameless "G O A T" Fighter (9-1-0, 2-1-0 KOTB) vs. Thiago "The Axe" Machado

Fighter didn't care that much about Machado's brown belt, did he? He rocked “The Axe” soon in the clinch, and instead of tiring himself out, opted to toss Machado to the ground and easily grind out the first round.

In the second round Fighter poured it on again, boxing up Machado, until he got dropped again and finished with strikes.

 

W: Fighter TKO Rd. 2

 

145 Main Event: "The Enlightened One" Prathamesh Randhawa vs. "Morte" Vinicius Costa

And with that we've arrived at the main event. Randhawa was too much too soon for Costa. Randhawa took Costa down without even getting hit. From there he chained together subs, until he transitioned from an armbar into a very tight triangle. That being the only sub of the night, he earned the “Submission of the Night” award. For his next fight Randhawa seems to be heading to the rematch with champion Karter. However, Nameless fighter also has a stong case, so I wouldn't mind a title eliminator between the two.

Kyrie Perry:

You are some kind of cocky aren't you!? I commend you for your confidence and mic skills but you talk to the champ like he is your next opponent. You might want to get your head focus and worry about fighting me.

 

Sorry about messing up your name Giblert. Its not a very common name in the states.

KOTB 32: Imagina! (Preview) - Late, sorry.

155: Morgan Wade (2-2-0, 2-2-0 KOTB) vs. Conrad Terasenko (1-3-0, 1-3-0 KOTB)

The first fight of the evening will bring together two young men that have fallen on hard times, as they both will desperately be aiming to put an end to their losing streaks. Morgan Wade is an American Muay Thai fighter who made his first King of the Beach appearance at "KOTB CS4: LW Opening Round" - where he dismantled his opponent with ease, earning himself a Knockout of the Night bonus in the process. Standing opposite Wade will be Conrad Terasenko, a wrestler from Russia who has suffered two losses in a row at the hand of the same man; fellow Lightweight Beezow Doo-Doo. Wade will want to keep the fight standing where he can aim to work Terasenko over with numerous strikes, as he enjoys mixing things up with both punches and kicks to all sections of his opponent's body. A fan of dirty Boxing is Terasenko, as he likes to pull opponents into the clinch where he attempts to work them over with strikes - though his punching power has seemed to let him down time and time again. A win for either man is crucial, as a three-loss streak could see them being cut from the organisation.

155: Jon "Destruction" Duangjan (2-5-0, 2-3-0 KOTB) vs. Pablo "Breaker" Esposito (2-6-0, 1-6-0 KOTB)

Next up we will see another pair of unlucky Lightweights, as Malaysian Jon Duangjan takes on Brazilian Pablo Esposito. After recently suffering his fifth loss in a seven fight career, Duangjan will be hoping to get back into the win column - extending the losing streak of his opponent in the process, when the two clash this evening. A Muay Thai fighter at heart, the Malaysian likes to keep the fight standing - much like the aforementioned Morgan Wade - where he will mix up his combinations, throwing both punches and kicks whilst remaining ever unpredictable. Very different in fighting style to his opponent, is Pablo Esposito, a pure grappler who will aim to take this fight to the mat as soon as possible, where he knows he has the distinct advantages over Duangjan. The winner of this fight will be the one that executes his game-plan best, and one should expect it to end in either a Knockout from "Destruction" or a submission from "Breaker".

145: "Toxic" Tyrone Van Der Berg (3-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Renaldo "Titan" Guerra (0-1-0, 0-0-0 KOTB)

The first and only Featherweight match of the night will see Kimura king and KOTB newcomer Tyrone Van Der Berg take on fellow fresh face, Renaldo Guerra. Van Der Berg has had a successful career run so far as he has earned himself three submission victories in a row under other organisations and has yet to taste defeat since turning professional. Standing opposite the sub-specialist will be the Brazilian "Titan", a man with a very diverse skill-set although he appears to be a master of no particular discipline. At the sound of the bell for Round 1, expect Van Der Berg to shoot for the takedown, and continue to do so until he takes the fight to the floor. Once there, "Toxic" tries his hardest to catch his opponent in a submission, constantly attempting them for as long as it takes. Guerra on the other hand has only had one professional fight, and it is hard to gauge what he will plan to do in this one. If I was to bet on the victor, my money would be on the undefeated submission specialist, Tyrone Van Der Berg.

205: Johnny Cage (1-1-0, 0-1-0 KOTB) vs. Dre "Mamba" Adams (3-0-0, 2-0-0 KOTB)

Next up, a Light-Heavyweight brawl between two similar men is set to take place between Americans Johnny Cage and Dre Adams as they step in to the KOTB cage for their second and third times respectively. After suffering a Knockout loss in only fourteen seconds on his KOTB debut, Cage will be eager to bounce back and get one of his own, his Boxing skills playing a crucial part in that plan. No joke however is Dre Adams, as he comes in to this fight on a roll after picking up two wins under our organisation and has remained undefeated in his career as of yet. These two patriots share the same strength - Boxing, and we can be sure that they will choose to stand and bang. Although Adams has the distinct advantage when it comes to striking, he has had trouble finishing fights - his last three all going the distance whereas Cage has earned himself a TKO victory in the past.

205: Simon Sims (8-4-0, 3-3-0 KOTB) vs. Zico ""the Kick"" Ali (4-5-0, 1-3-0 KOTB)

The second Light-Heavyweight match of the night will see Australian KOTB regular Simon Sims battle it out against Brazil's own Zico Ali. Simon Sims has fallen on hard times recently as he has lost his last two fights in a row at the hands of Thiagus Davaru Silva and Third Round Romero, and he will need to get a win this evening if he hopes to stay relevant in this tough division. Zico on the other hand has redeemed himself somewhat as he put an end to his three loss streak since joining the organisation, with a dominating Knockout of the aforementioned Johnny Cage on KOTB 26: Beleza. Sims is a highly skilled fighter for his age, boasting remarkable Boxing skills along with impressive Muay Thai, and even decent wrestling abilities to fall back on. Similarly, Zico Ali's main strength is his Boxing as he has become exceptional when it comes to his striking capabilities, although his Muay Thai does not come close to that of his opponent's. Expect this fight to remain standing as the two will be wanting to prove who has the better striking, and as both men possess devastating power - expect the fight to end via Knockout.

265+ "Merciless" Mick McManus (5-2-0, 5-2-0 KOTB) vs. "The Bulldog" Harry Milne (6-2-0, 4-2-0)

Two familiar faces return in this Super-Heavyweight battle as proud Scotsman Mick McManus takes on "The Bulldog" Harry Milne. The entire career of "Merciless" has taken place within KOTB and during this time he once amassed a win-streak of four, all fights ending in Knockout. However, the northerner hit a bump in his way to the 265+ title - a bump named Blob Sapp - and he attempting to bounce back from his second career loss. Harry Milne started his career strong, with a four win streak but since then his record has begun to look like a roller-coaster, lose, win, lose, win. McManus will use his Boxing and wrestling skills to keep Milne at bay, but this fight will be the hardest of his career since Tito Griffin on KOTB 8. Milne's skill-set outshines his opponent's in every regard, from Boxing to Muay Thai, to Wrestling, and he will be able to fight with confidence as a result. Milne does not have the heaviest hands, but it isn't unthinkable to expect him to put away McManus when the two clash.

170: Alan Ford (7-5-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Jefferson "Grisahlo" Murillo (4-2-0, 3-1-0 KOTB)

Next up is the lone Welterweight fight of the card, as newcomer Alan Ford is set to throw hands with young Brazilian prospect, Jefferson Murillo. Ford has had a very up and down career in recent days, having won only two of his past five fights and he will have to win on his KOTB debut if he plans to go far in this tough organisation. Hoping to give the Austrian a not-so-warm welcome is Jefferson Murillo, who recently used his deep and diverse skill-set to get back to his winning ways after dismantling Carlos Fierro on KOTB 24. Alan Ford possesses fantastic striking capabilities as well as great Wrestling techniques, making for a varied set of abilities. It's not easy predicting where this fight will go as the two like to take it to the mat as well as keep it standing, but one thing is for certain and that is that this fight will be all-out from the get-go. A win over Ford will help Murillo on his way to the Champion, although it could be a long way still.

185: Eric Ashton (8-3-0, 3-2-0 KOTB) vs. "Jersey" Joe Walcott (3-1-0, 3-1-0 KOTB)

The eighth fight of the night will welcome back the former King of the Beach Middleweight Champion, Eric Ashton for his third fight since losing his title. Opposite Ashton will stand Joe Walcott, a gifted prospect currently on an impressive win-streak in which he ran through his poor opponents with ease. Ex-Champion Ashton has proven to be one of the best Wrestlers in the entire company, his brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu making him all the more dangerous against the cage and on the mat. Walcott on the other hand is more partial to striking, as his main discipline is Muay Thai and he does not possess the strongest grappling abilities. Ashton will want to grind his opponent out in classic Wrestler fashion, opting for takedowns whenever available followed by ground and pound until he earns the KO victory that he is known for. Walcott enjoys leg-kicking more than anything else, as they make up for the majority of his strikes although he does switch things up by throwing body-kicks, head punches, and various other techniques. The man who executes his gameplan better will be the victor tonight as it is crucial for both fighters that the match goes their way, and follows their pace. I predict that Ashton will get his name back into possible title contention with a TKO / KO over Walcott this evening.

Co-Main Event

Bantamweight Title: "The Devil Dawg" Chesty Puller (6-4-0, 0-0-0) vs. Audley Barristan "Selmy" (9-2-0, 0-0-0)

Two men making their KOTB debut will fight as the Co-Main Event for a chance to become the Bantamweight Champion of the world, as they vie for the vacant title. Previously a title-holder in a different organisation, Chesty Puller will step into the KOTB octagon with the memories of once being top dog still fresh in his mind, a driving force for motivation. Similarly, Barristan was also a two-time world Champion under other companies, and one can imagine that his hunger for gold will be just as strong as the man that will be standing opposite him. Both men are brawlers with neither one shy to fight anywhere whether it be on the feet, in the clinch, or on the mat. Puller enjoys bringing the fight to the ground where he can work his opponent over with a barrage of strikes from the top position and one can presume that he will aim to do the same when the two clash this evening. Barristan prefers to keep the fight standing, where he often instigates clinches and attempts to dismantle his foes with a barrage of knees in opposed to punches or elbows. This fight is set to be spectacular, and the crowning of the very first King of The Beach Bantamweight Champion will take place.

Main Event

265+: "The Enforcer" Luca Brasi (3-0-0, 2-0-0 KOTB) vs. "The Wilderbeast" William Volkov (6-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB)

The highly anticipated Main Event will be between Italian rising star, Luca Brasi and the often talked about newcomer, William Volkov. Brasi has caught the attention of many people after his two dominant victories in the short time he has been with the organisation, and he will gain an incredible amount of recognition if he manages to defeat the man that will be standing opposite him. No stranger to being in the Main Event is Red Star Fighting Hall-of-Famer William Volkov, who comes into the company as a two-weight world Champion, as he hopes to recreate his success on foreign soil. The two men have almost identical skill-sets although the way they both fight is very different to one another. Brasi opts for clean exchanges on the feet as his go-to tactic, mixing things up with single strikes to both the head and body as well as attempting a number of quick combinations. Whereas Volkov does the same, but will also bring his opponents into his deadly clinch where he will then work them over with powerful strikes. Both men are terrifying, heavy-handed and undefeated so this is a Main Event to look out for - and really big things could be in line for whoever walks away untarnished and victorious.

Awesome review man!

 

Also of note is that Duangjan vs Esposito is the rubber match and third fight in KOTB for these two!

KOTB 33: Mano (Preview)

185: Tito "Chacal" Gomez (2-4-0, 2-4-0 KOTB) vs. Benny "Starbucks" Perez (2-2-0, 0-1-0 KOTB)

The first fight of the night will see two struggling Middleweights as Brazilian Tito Gomez is set to take on America's Benny Perez. After losing twice as many fights as he has won under the organisation, the future of Tito Gomez has come into question - will he ever become a contender in this jam-packed division, or is he just another common journeyman? Benny has had similar luck, not making the best of impressions after losing on his KOTB debut less than a month ago, and a win over "Chacal will put him back on track. Gomez is a diverse fighter with a preference for grappling, as he has earned a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and he has respectable Wrestling skills in addition. His opponent Perez is also partial to the ground, being a Wrestler himself although his skills are quite inferior to that of Gomez. Expect this fight to take place on the mat, either ending in a submission victory for Gomez or a Knockout for Perez.

205: "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig (0-2-0, 0-2-0 KOTB) vs. Youssef "The Marocian Belgian" El Basmati (1-2-0, 1-1-0 KOTB)

The second fight of the evening is also between two unfortunate fighters as American Curt Hennig will face off against Belgium's own Youssef El Basmati. "Mr. Perfect" is a Wrestler at heart but he has amassed a fine skill-set incorporating other disciplines too, having earned a brown belt in BJJ as well as respectable Boxing. His opponent has a dangerous set of abilities, boasting superb striking in addition to his solid Wrestling defenses. Having lost in his last two performances inside the King of the Beach octagon, Curt Henning will have to defeat the man standing opposite him that night to prove that he has what it takes to climb the rankings. Similarly, El Basmati will have to get back to his winning ways after failing to grab a victory on KOTB 30: Pra Caramba via doctor stoppage, if he wishes to prove that his losses were flukes.

265+: Samson Nazirite (5-1-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Mike Kina (2-2-0, 1-2-0 KOTB)

This Super-Heavyweight match-up will introduce a fresh face - Samson Nazirite - as he makes his first appearance inside the signature King of the Beach octagon, and standing opposite him will be a more familiar fighter in Mike Kina. Nazirite is a Muay Thai fighter hailing from Israel, who also possesses wonderful Wrestling capabilities. His opponent on the other hand is far less specialized, as he instead has a varied skill-set, whilst not appearing to be a master of any particular discipline. The Israeli likes to keep the fight standing where he then attempts an array of strikes from head punches to leg kicks, all in high volume - although his power remains questionable. Kina fights differently as he often opts for takedowns, avoiding the usual stand-up exchanges. Both men are no strangers to the clinch either, as both have seen to instigate them many times in the past - with Nazirite appearing stronger in that department. This fight could go any way, although my money would go on Samson Nazirite finishing the fight by TKO.

185: Kimbo Spice (3-2-0, 3-1-0 KOTB) vs. Silvio Gasaspo (1-0-0, 1-0-0 KOTB)

The next fight of the night will welcome back Kimbo Spice as he returns eager to bounce back from the defeat that ended his in-company win-streak, and the man who will aim to prevent that is Silvio Gasapo. Spice garnered a reputation for himself after winning on the CS7 Lightweight Finals, but hit a bump in his road to the top as he was knocked out by fellow Middleweight prospect Antonio Silva. Silvio on the other hand has only had one professional fight, in which he submitted the aforementioned Tito Gomez. Both these two men like to grapple, and neither one is shy to be the first to take it to the mat, so one can expect the majority of this fight to take place there. A win for either man could mean big things, especially Spice as he comes into it with a lot more to prove than his less seasoned opponent.

135: Celio Aravinda (2-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. "Amazing" Augusto Azevedo (4-3-0, 4-3-0 KOTB)

The two lightest men on the card come together in this Bantamweight match-up as Argentinian newcomer Celio Aravinda will step into the cage to take on KOTB regular, Brazil's own Augusto Azevedo. Aravinda has remained undefeated in his career thus far but it is no secret that his past opponents he has faced in the Quick Fighting Championship have been poor in comparison to his upcoming foe. Azevedo has had a roller-coaster career under the organisation which is largely due to the fact that he has u come up against really tough competition, namely the undefeated Champion Chris Karter as well as top contender Prathamesh Randhawa. Celio is a Boxer that prefers to strike, but his grappling skills are not to be looked past as has also earned himself a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Azevedo is an all-out grappler, preferring to showcase his Wrestling and BJJ skills wherever possible, and the majority of his wins have come by means of submission. Both these men need a victory this evening, as Aravinda makes his first appearance and Azevedo is on a losing streak.

265+: Evan "E.T." Thomas (3-2-0, 1-2-0 KOTB) vs. Igor "The Destroyer" Brezlav (3-1-0, 0-0-0 KOTB)

Two men twice as heavy as those that are scheduled to fight before them, are these two golems as they come together for the second Super-Heavyweight match of the evening. After a disappointing start to his King of the Beach career, Evan Thomas managed to salvage a win when he fought the aforementioned Mike Kina and although it was cited as being a boring and uneventful match (by spectators and critics alike) - a win is a win. Igor Brezlav has yet to make his company debut and currently, all eyes are on him. Ivan had a successful yet short career in another organisation (Red Star Fighting) where he picked up three submission victories, each by a different technique. Thomas will like to take this fight to the mat where he can then execute his standard game-plan of grinding his opponent out until he gains the victory by TKO or a judges decision - he does not appear to be picky regarding either result. Similarly, Brezlav will also want to grapple as his specialties lie in both wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu although his submission defence may not be as good as he claims, as he has been submitted in his career.

205: Papas "Mucata" Kanamun (4-6-0, 4-4-0 KOTB) vs. Ezekiel "Power Trip" Puchowski (8-3-0, 5-3-0 KOTB)

Two King of the Beach regulars are set to come together in this Light-Heavyweight fight between the Bulgarian turn-around Papas Kanamun and the former title-contender from Poland, Ezekiel Puchowski. Papas Kanamun's has been contracted to the company since it's very first event, KOTB 1: Primordios where he picked up a win over Shaun Hale and since then he has remained a staple of the 205 division, as he is set to make his ninth KOTB appearance tomorrow night. Another man that has been around since the company's conception is Polish phenom Ezekiel Puchowski, who is also making his ninth appearance as he steps into the octagon opposite Kanamun. "Mucata" is a submission specialist and we can expect him to try and take the fight to the grand whenever and as soon as possible, because he does not have the striking capabilities to stay standing with Puchowski. "Power Trip" on the other hand will aim to do the opposite, as he will need to avoid all takedown attempts of his opponent's if he wishes to remain in a favourable position, as Kanamun has the serious advantages when it comes to grappling.

Co-Main Event

185 lb Title fight: (Champ) Giblert Melendez (7-0-0, 4-0-0 KOTB) vs. "The Steel Hero" Ganbaatar Khan (11-13-0, 1-2 KOTB)

In what has proven to be one of the most controversial match-making decisions in KOTB history, the reigning defending Middleweight Champion Giblert Melendez is set to defend his belt against the brash Mongolian Ganbaatar Khan. As Khan was knocked out early in his previous fight, the fact he was given a shot at the undefeated Champion brought up a lot of questions and seemed to rile up a number of people - one was quoted saying "King of the Beach is already getting ran into the ground". A minor war of words ensued between the pair (and others) and now the two are set to tango, each man finally able to try and shut the other up. Giblert began his KOTB career with an impressive knockout of Jacare Romero, followed by a decision victory over Eric Ashton which earned him a shot at the then Champion, Nathan Fisher. After dismantling the Champion in the 4th round, Giblert earned himself the top-spot and has since defended his title one time. Ganbaatar is a whole different animal as the Mongol Madman has lost two of his three fights under the organisation, and there have been rumours that some of these fights were fixed (although, most were probably spread by Ganbaatar himself). Once a KT Champion and now an MMA one, Giblet's victories can be credited to his fantastic striking paired with his deadly use of the Muay Thai clinch where he is known to take his opponents apart piece by piece. Also favouring Muay Thai is Ganbaatar, as all of his victories have come from knockouts of various sorts, from head-kicks to flying knees. Expect this fight to be fireworks as both men will more than likely opt for standing and banging. Will Giblert shut "The Steel Hero's" mouth? or will the Mongols invade once more?

Main Event

265+ lb Title Fight: (Champ) Tito "The Warrior" Griffin (6-3-0, 4-1-0 KOTB) vs. Sandu "Big Bear" Lungu (8-2-0, 5-2-0 KOTB)

The final fight of the night is almost as controversial as the Co-Main, and maybe it would be had it not been overshadowed. The new Super-Heavyweight Champion of the world, Tito Griffin is set to defend his gold for the very first time against the same man he took it from only twenty days go; the former top-dog Sandu Lungu. The tough Canadian Griffin will do all he can to keep the former Champion at bay, and he will hope that through his exceptional Boxing coupled with his heavy hands, he can remain the belt-holder at the end of the night. Lungu is also a king of the KO-game, earning all of his victories via such a manner. Although both men come into the fight on equal terms when it comes to Boxing, it appears that "Big Bear" has serious advantages regarding Muay Thai, and a slight edge over his opponent in wrestling too. However, although he will likely not opt to use it - the Champion has the higher expertise in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Soon after the pair's first encounter, when Griffin quickly turned off the Romanian's lights, Lungu was heard saying " I want to show the world that was just an lucky shot", and the higher-ups listened, offering him a rematch right off the bat. Although this decision has been seen as controversial to many (as some people believe the shot should've gone to someone harbouring positive momentum), both men appear to be happy to clash once more. Will Champion Tito Griffin cement his place in the annals of KOTB history, or will Sandu Lungu claim his throne once more? Well, buy a ticket to King of the Beach 33: Mano, to find out!

Ridiculously late I know, and I don't want to make excuses but my time management has been piss-poor. Anyway, good luck with your fights all of you!

Sandu "Big Bear" Lungu

I will soon board the jet to come to Rio and try to prove once again why they gave me another shot at that gold. I only lost 2 times, once to Guy who I dominated from top to bottom in the revenge and now to Tito. I can't remember too much from that fight, but I looked at the video and I looked good to that point of his combo landing. Anyway this time will most likely be on my guard and will try to pay him back for the first fight.

KOTB 34: Quatro Coroas (Preview)

A one of a kind event is set to take place on February 27th as the Flamingo Arena in Rio De Janeiro will play host to 'King of The Beach 34: Quatro Coroas'. Four Champions will step into the octagon that evening, and no, that was not a typo, As the Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight and Light-Heavyweight belts go on the line - history is about to be made.

265+: "Irate Pirate" Abdul Abdi (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Dagvyn Khara (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB)

The first fight of the night was booked on very short notice, as these two men seized the opportunity of a lifetime by volunteering to throw hands after a scheduled bout fell through. Being an Openweight bout, Somalian Light-Heavyweight Abdul Abdi will weigh in significantly lighter than his opponent as well as measuring quite a bit shorter than him too. Dagvyn Khara on the other hand is a Super-Heavyweight and he will enjoy the advantages he will hold over the "Irate Pirate". Both men are boxers, and it will be most logical to assume that they will keep the fight standing, where they will exchange blows. Although Khara will possess both a reach and size advantage, with smart planning (and heavy hands), the fight could go in Abdi's favour. Expect this fight to be a brawl, with one man hitting the canvas!

185: Robert "Dougie Doins" Paisley (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. "Super" Basil Southpaste (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB)

The second fight of the evening will welcome two young men will be making their MMA debuts, as Robert Paisley takes on Basil Southpaste. Even though Paisley has not had a professional bout as of yet, one can assume that he will opt to stand and bang as he is a Boxer at heart, training out of Tokyo's Pewter Gym. Reports from "Forest Hill Gym" ("Super's" gym) say that Basil is a similar fighter to Paisley, although his base comes from Wrestling. It will be interesting to see how this fight plays out, and it could come down to which competitor has the heavier hands. Both men are brand new to the world of Mixed Martial Arts, and we wish them both a successful future whether it be under the organisation or otherwise.

205: Gwynfor "Great White" Jones (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Testes Two (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB)

Next up, two more brand new fighters will join the MMA world, as young Welsh prospect Gwynfor Jones takes on Antiguan Testes Two. Gywnfor Jones is a Muay Thai fighter and training partner of the aforementioned Robert Paisley, the third Pewter Gym representative making an appearance this night. Due to favouring Muay Thai, we can assume that Jones will aim to keep the fight standing where he can chop his opponent down with kicks, or he will take it to the clinch where he could then unleash elbows / knees. Testes is a different fighter, and as he is a Wrestler it is likely that he will want to grapple with Jones and take the fight to the floor. All of this is speculation however as neither man has had any previous fights, and we could all be surprised when the time comes! Lets hope that these fighters have a bright future, like the four that are set to fight before them.

170: Dan Howson (3-1-0, 3-1-0 KOTB) vs. Yoshiry "Samurai" Torikama (3-0-0, 1-0-0 KOTB)

A pair of bright youngsters backed up with great momentum are set to clash this evening as English striking sensation Dan Howson will face Japanese Wrestler Yoshiry Torikama. Since suffering a Knockout on his KOTB and MMA debut, Howson has since had a change of fate, Knocking out his last three opponents, all in the very first round. Similarly, "Samurai" has cut through his last two opponents earning TKO victories in both bouts and unlike his opponent, he has yet to face a defeat in his MMA career. Although possessing solid skills in multiple disciplines, Howson's main is reportedly Muay Thai though we have not seen him attempt a clinch nor a kick, other than a single failed one on his debut. Torikama's background has its roots set in Wrestling, and his usual employed strategy is one where he takes his opponent down and begins to work them over with a large volume of strikes until he wins by stoppage. It will be interesting to see how these two very different fighters match up, and as the winner will have earned a victory streak totaling four, the future of them will surely be bright. Will Howson's heavy fists be the end of "Samurai's" success, or will Torikama crack his opponent's once already tested chin?

170: Johnny "Smack" Pain (6-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Miguel "Black Mamba" Ronaldo (5-4-0, 1-2-0 KOTB)

Another Welterweight match will take place next as former RSF Welterweight Champion Johnny Pain is scheduled to face struggling Brazilian, Miguel Ronaldo. Johnny has racked up an impressive record in his MMA career thus far, having Knocked out every opponent that has stepped inside the cage to face him. Ronaldo hasn't been as fortunate as his opponent and has suffered four defeats in only nine fights - three of which being Knockouts. Johnny possesses solid skills in boxing as well as wrestling, and his heavy-hands often play the most crucial parts in his past successes. "Black Mamba" fights completely different to that of Pain and is a grappler, boasting a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Expect Pain's gameplan to be something along the lines of "keep it standing, smash him to bits with punches", the opposite of Ronaldo's which would be "take him down, submit him". Much like the previous fight, this one will be interesting as we see two very different men come together.

155: Beezow Doo-Doo(shortened) (4-1-0, 4-1-0 KOTB) vs. Marcus "Slick" Beck (5-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB)

Up next, we will see the return of KOTB regular Beezow Doo-Doo Zopitty-Bop-Bop-Bop (fucking hell) come up against company newcomer, Marcus Beck. Beezow has had a successful career as of late, having earned some impressive victories in his past four fights after losing on his first MMA and company appearance. Beck started his combat career in TWGC, where fellow KOTB fighter Ryo Takajiri became Champion and then made his MMA debut under GAMMA where he remained undefeated. Beezow has a preference for Muay Thai, and he likes to employ a number of clinches in his fights where he then works opponents over with punches. Beck on the other hand is a pure grappler, at his core and he will always aim to take the fight to the mat where he can finish using either his slick submission abilities or his ground and pound skills. Another battle between strikers and grapplers, we can only hope that this one is exciting as the the winner could easily be on his way to bigger things in the organisation if the victory is earned in an entertaining fashion.

Lightweight Title Fight

Dag "Dregen" Daghammar (6-0-0, 5-0-0 KOTB) vs. Lionel "wutUsay" Wright (6-3-0, 5-2-0 KOTB)

The first of four Champions set to make an appearance this night is current Lightweight king Dag Daghammar as he hopes to defend his belt for the second time, against number #3 ranked Lionel Wright. Since joining the organisation, Daghammar has seen nothing but success after knocking out three men in a row to earn himself a shot at the then Champion Emerson Sheik. After defeating Sheik, Daghammar began his reign at the top and has since defended his title once, against Victor Estima. Although his career under KOTB has been largely successful, Lionel Wright has suffered two minor setbacks on his way to top, including a loss on his first shot against the ex-Champion Sean The Strangler. After amassing a three win streak similar to how "Dregen" earned his, Wright has earned a second attempt at the world title. The Champion possesses stronger Boxing than the challenger, as well as a higher prestige in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Wright boasts advantages in Muay Thai over Daghammer, and the pair are largely equal in their Wrestling prowess. Both men prefer striking over anything else, but their techniques are very different. The Champion likes to punch exclusively, and enjoys taking the fight to the clinch whereas the challenger mixes up his exchanges with both his fists and his feet whilst steering clear from dirty boxing.

Featherweight Title Fight

"The Little Ginger Prince" Chris Karter (7-1-0, 6-0-0 KOTB) vs. Kano "The Kamikaze Kid" Hokichi (6-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB)

The second Champion to defend his belt on this evening will be the only Featherweight Champion in King of the Beach history, Chris Karter as he will take on KOTB newcomer and former Dignity 145 king, Kano Hokichi. After defending his belt a record breaking four times during his career with the company, Chris Karter is surely no stranger to fighting the toughest competitors and this bout will be no different. Hokichi has yet to suffer a defeat in his MMA career, having had a more than successful one under his previous organisation - and keeping his record clean after this evening will surely be a difficult task. Although Karter has impressive skills in multiple disciplines, his strengths lie in his exceptional boxing skills as they play a large part in his knockout victories. "The Kamikaze Kid" on the other hand reportedly boasts even greater skills than that of the Champion, as he has been known to possess sensation Muay Thai amongst his other top quality abilities. This could possibly be the best fight of the night as KOTB's most successful Champion will have to keep top Japanese star away from his spot at the top of the division. If any of the fights are worth buying a ticket for - this is it!

Co-Main Event

Light-Heavyweight Title Fight

Devon "Bam Bam" Bailey (7-0-0, 2-0-0 KOTB) vs. Third Round "YOLO" Romero (10-1-0, 5-1-0 KOTB)

Next up we will be witnessing the return of one of the heavier Champions, as KOTB Light-Heavyweight top dog Devon Bailey is scheduled to face off against former Champion, Third Round Romero. Since making his company debut back on KOTB 20: Combate, where he took on and defeated the then-champion, Devon has had a prosperous short career having defended his belt a single time. "YOLO" started his company career off strongly too as he defeated the #1 205 fighter on his second fight, becoming Champion himself. After losing his belt on his first attempt at defending it, Romero changed his ways and has since racked up a streak of victories. The two are very different fighters from one another as the undefeated Canadian boasts significant advantages in his skills, especially regarding his wrestling prowess as it remains his signature discipline. Romero is a Boxer and has not sharpened his other abilities as much, which may see him being outclassed by the current belt holder. Both men enjoy clinching, and both men enjoy brawls - expect this fight to be another one to remember.

Main Event

Welterweight Title Fight

Parker "The Terrorizer" Allen (5-1-0, 4-1-0 KOTB) vs. James La Grande (12-2-0, 4-1-0 KOTB)

The final fight of the evening will welcome back two time Welterweight Champion, King of the Beach Veteran Parker Allen as aims to defend his belt against the very man he stole it from, James La Grande. The last time that these two met in the octagon, La Grande was enjoying his time as the Welterweight Champion, having defended his belt twice against two fierce opponents - which soon came to an end. The fight was finished after "The Terrorizer" Knocked out the then-Champion within one round. Evident from their last match, as well as all of his ones in the past, Allen has the very significant advantages on the feet, regarding both Boxing and Muay Thai in which La Grande can not match. James however possesses the upper-hand when it comes to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, having earned a more prestigious belt than his opponent. Both men seem to be on equal footing when it comes to wrestling too. Allen will want to keep the fight on the feet where he can then dominant his opponent, and he knows that if the fight is taken to the mat he can escape like he did on their last meeting. La Grande will likely carry out his usual strategy of shooting for takedowns, in which he hopes to get the fight to the floor where he can submit the Champion (like he has done in 11 of his 12 victories). Be sure to turn up to this history making event, where there will be fights to entertain all kinds of MMA fans!

Well you put up a little bit better of a fight this time La Grande, but you ultimately met a similar fate as last time. You've got some good takedowns I will give ya that much, but even a granite chin isn't gonna save you from eatin the canvas against me. It's cool though someone has to be the gatekeeper.

So on to my next opponent, Yoshiry Torikama. He will probably try despratly to take me down and will end up KO'd for his efferts, I'll be more than ready for this fight!

Kyrie Perry:

 

Wow! What a great card! All the fights were unbelievable! I believe that Karter has proven himself to be the best fighter in KOTB history. I mean his run has been legendary! He just destroyed a great undefeated champion within 1 min! Good job out there Karter.

KOTB 35: Boa Noite (Preview)

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1456577891kotb35.png

135: Aaron "Cannon" Christie (0-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. The "NWA" GOAT (3-1-0, 0-1-0 KOTB)

The first fight of the evening will see two bright youngsters come together as the both hope to make a lasting impression, by earning a victory. London's Aaron Christie is a Boxer who will be making his first ever appearence inside a cage or ring, and many eyes will be on him as he does so. Standing opposite him will be The GOAT - also a Boxer, hailing from Compton who has already fought under the company as he was subbed by Anderson Gracie on KOTB CS 11. The two are a similar height and weight, so neither man will have a massive advantage in either department, although "NWA" possesses slightly longer arms. It will be interesting to see how these two match up as their skill-sets seem fairly even with "NWA" only being a year older than his opponent and this bout should be a good one to ease the attendees into the events of the evening.

265+: Derek "X" Vinyard (2-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. Hector Reyes (1-1-0, 1-1-0 KOTB)

Up next, the audience will be treated to the first of a trio of Super-Heavyweight bouts as American Derek Vinyard is set to face off against his neighbour, Mexican Hector Reyes. Vinyard is the much younger combatant in this match up, as he is currently seven years the junior of his opponent. Reyes will enjoy having the experience advantage over the young American, although he would make a mistake if he underestimates Vinyard's skills as his short career history suggests that he is a dangerous individual. Both men have a preference for striking, and each one has a trait suited for that discipline; Reyes with a ridiculously tough chin, and Vinyard with his devastatingly heavy hands. Expect this fight to start, remain, and end on the feet - with one man being knocked out by the end of it. A betting man would be smart to put his money on Vinyard (in my opinion.)

265+: Seamus O'Halloran (7-2-0, 0-2-0 KOTB) vs. Peter "The Bear" Kovalev (5-1-0, 0-0-0 KOTB)

The second super-sized brawl of the evening will welcome two men that have recently fallen from grace, as Irish knockout specialist Seamus O'Halloran is scheduled to lock horns with the young Russian prospect, Peter Kovalev. O'Halloran came into the organisation as a Champion, and sadly his time at the top was short-lived as he was quickly knocked out on his company debut, and once again saw defeat not long after. Kovalev had similar success (or lack of) recently, as he suffered his first ever career loss in his previous bout after earning five knockout victories in a row. O'Halloran is a pure Boxer, who relies on his skilled fists and admirable heart to wear his opponents down and gain the edge over them. "The Bear" on the other hand is a much more diverse fighter as he doesn't have a distinct speciality in any discipline, and he enjoys switching things up with a variety of strikes and other tactics. This will be an interesting bout for sure, and I for one can't wait to see what both fighters chooses for their game-plan, especially Kovalev.

265+: Otto Geisler (3-0-0, 2-0-0 KOTB) vs. "Merciless" Mick McManus (5-3-0, 5-3-0 KOTB)

The fourth fight of the night will German up-and-comer Otto Geisler as he is set to take on seasoned King of The Beach regular, Mick McManus. Geisler has begun to build a reputation for himself after impressively knocking out the two men put in front of him since joining our organisation, and all eyes are on him as he comes up against possibly his toughest challenge yet. His opponent, McManus is a staple of the KOTB Super-Heavyweight division,m having spent the entire duration of his MMA career within it - and he has experienced both ups and downs throughout. Both men are on equal terms when it comes to Boxing, although the German has a very clear advantage concerning that of Wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Although he doesn't possess the heaviest hands, Geisler is a tough fighter who will come forward with non-stop strikes until he finishes his opponent. McManus is a similar fighter so it will be interesting to see the two clash, and the win could truly go to either man. Will the age difference prove to be too great (9 years), or can the Scotsman still keep up with the speed of youth? Buy a ticket to find out.

185: "Jersey" Joe Walcott (4-1-0, 4-1-0 KOTB) vs. Hugo Carmody (2-1-0, 1-0-0 KOTB)

Up next, the #3 ranked Middlweight Joe Walcott is set to clash with #6 ranked Hugo Carmody in a fight that could spell big things for the winner. Hot off a streak of four spectacular knockouts, Walcott will walk into the cage this evening full of confidence as he hopes to bag yet another highlight reel finish. Carmody has not been with the organisation as long as his opponent has, but he impressed all fans, with the quick knockout of Ganbaatar Khan which was billed as a slight upset. As both men are Muay Thai practitioners at heart, one can imagine that the skills they wish to demonstrate will be those most closely related to that discipline. However, Walcott has decent Boxing and Wrestling abilities to compliment that of his speciality. Unfortunately for "Jersey", Carmody is far more proficient in Wrestling and has the slight advantage in Boxing - Two factors that could end up causing him some serious trouble. Sparks will fly when the cage closes with these two men locked in it, and the gentleman that walks away victorious could move onto bigger and better things as a result.

205: Simon Sims (8-5-0, 3-4-0 KOTB) vs. Sergey Beznisko (4-0-0, 4-0-0 KOTB)

The lone Light-Heavyweight match on the card will feature two exciting fighters as Australian Simon Sims is scheduled to meet Russian wonder-kid, Sergey Beznisko. Sims has fallen on hard times having lost the past three of his fights, for what seems like losing streak that he can not shake off - Before it's unfortunate inception, he had amassed a win streak of three. Sergey on the other hand has been celebrating success like no other, as he has yet to taste defeat in his MMA career and has earned himself the 5th spot in the 205 rankings. Sims is an exceptional striker with hands that are quick as they are heavy, which makes him a scary opponent for those not so seasoned when it comes to stand-up fighting. Beznisko will be happy to know that his opponent's weakness is grappling, as he is an exceptional wrestler who uses powerful takedowns to take the fight to the floor, where he then works his opponents over with vicious ground and pound. Sims has been taken down numerous times in his career so it will be interesting to see whether he will be able to handle the Wrestling pressure that the Russian will definitely impose on him when the two clash inside the octagon. The winner of this fight could see themselves facing off against Romero, Puchowski or even the Champion Devon Bailey, depending on how it all plays out. Be sure not to miss this fight.

185: Aeden Declan (6-0-0, 0-0-0 KOTB) vs. "The Golden Child" Kyrie Perry (5-1-0, 5-1-0 KOTB)

One of the most anticipated fights of the evening is set to take place next as org newcomer and former Champion, Aeden Declan comes up against the often controversial, Kyrie Perry. A war of words has ensued between these two men that began with Declan claiming he could dispose of Perry within one round, only moments after joining the organisation. Never shy to speak his mind, Perry fired back with statements regarding the Irishman's history also going as far to say he would welcome Declan to the organisation with his very first career loss. After this, Aeden remained quiet as "The Golden Child" continued to taunt him, suggesting that he should pull out of the bout with the excuse of a fake injury. For his age, Declan is an incredibly well-rounded fighter, boasting exceptional skills in numerous disciplines, with Muay Thai being his most prevalent. Kyrie on the other hand has less of a varied arsenal and more of a specialised one, as he appears to have much greater Wrestling capabilities compared to Declan, although his Muay Thai is far less sharpened. The hype going into this fight is incredible as both men have a lot to prove after their verbal exchanges and numerous claims, and the fans as well as management are eager to see how this plays out. There have also been rumours that this fight is a title eliminator, and one can expect the winner to have a shot at the Middleweight top-dog, Giblert Melendez in the near future.

155: "The Farmer" Isaac Curtis (4-0-0, 1-0-0 KOTB) vs. Raecius Felix (4-2-0, 3-2-0 KOTB)

The first and only Lightweight fight of the evening is scheduled to unfold next as former RSF Champion, Isaac Curtis will meet KOTB regular, Raecius Felix. Coming off of a dominant victory in his previous bout with Ryo Takajiri, Curtis will no doubt be looking to replicate his successes as he fights for his second time in less than a month. Felix has unfortunately not seen the same success as his opponent as of late, having suffered a knockout defeat in his last appearence on KOTB 31 - the second of his career. Curtis is a boxer, and it is evident from his career victories that he always opts to stand and bang, never letting opponents take him down and does not allow them dictate the pace of the fight. Felix is a very different fighter to "The Farmer" as he is a grappler, who always looks to take the fight to the floor where he can then attempt to snag a submission - He has earned all of his professional wins this way. Unless Raecius possesses takedown abilities greater than any of Curtis' previous opponents, it does not look like he will see much success when these two come together.

Co-Main Event

265+: Roos "148" Pilegr (6-1-0, 1-0-0 KOTB) vs. Blob "Voodoo Child" Sapp (7-2-0, 5-2-0 KOTB)

The Co-Main Event of the evening will welcome back former RSF Champion Roos Pilegr as he is scheduled to face one of the hardest opponents of his career, Blob Sapp. Roos Pilegr is a heavy-handed Boxer from Brazil, who will no doubt be aiming to replicate the successes of his past as he continues his journey on the road to title contention. Sapp is a familiar fighter who is no stranger to the spotlight - having featured in Main / Co-Main Events under our organisation in the past, and this night will be like no other for the Charismatic American striker. These two Knockout specialists will hopefully make for an entertaining display of striking prowess as the two will almost certainly opt to keep the fight standing, where the tougher man is sure to leave victorious. It is uncertain whether this bout has any links to a possible title shot for the victor, and we will be eager to see how this meeting plays out.

Main Event

145: "The Enlightened One" Prathamesh Randhawa (11-1-0, 2-1-0 KOTB) vs. Nameless "G O A T" Fighter (10-1-0, 3-1-0 KOTB)

Finally, the Main Event of the evening will welcome back the most flexible man in all of the organisation, Prathamesh Randhawa as he will have to get past Knockout king, Nameless Fighter. Since losing to the most dominant Champion in KOTB history Chris Karter, "The Enlightened One" has went on to earn two submission of the night bonuses with from his impressive recent victories. "G O A T" has also suffered a hiccup in his career (thanks to aforementioned Chris Karter), and has since redeemed himself with a Knockout victory - so the fact that these two top contenders are now scheduled to face off is no surprise to anyone. Randhawa will no doubt want to take this fight to the mat where he can demonstrate his inhuman contorting skills to try to catch his opponent in a choke, a method he has employed in all eleven of his career victories. Fighter however will aim to do anything but allow the fight to go in that direction as his speciality lies in his striking, made evident from his 10 career Knockouts. The winner of this fight will be the one that more accurately follows (and executes) his game-plan, and we are all anxious to see how this match will unfold. Be sure to buy a ticket to this event if you do not wish to miss some amazing fights!

Walood "The Dugong" Kassab

6-4 (5-4 KOTB)

This rematch between us, Campos, was supposed to be friendly competition but turned into something much more personal. We fought at KOTB 1, became friends, and then you started training at my gym. However, All the guys at A Hero's Journey & I watched silently as you struggled with addiction issues & now its interfered so much that you can't even afford to train with us anymore. You've lost your last 2 while I've won my last 3. A lot of guys seem concerned about you & have empathy for your situation... but not me. You got yourself in this situation & i'm gonna be the one to knock some sense back into you.
