Charbonniers a beast. Well done Dr.Jones.

RFC 4 Review should be up tomorrow folks.

[Guest]

Charbonniers a beast. Well done Dr.Jones.

 

He can definitely backup that trash talk. Honestly, I've never been more confident about a fighter build before

[kdmh74]

 

If you're super high level in your conditioning already, the effect is pretty minimal but on guys with level 12 and below, it can really help them spar and train all week through, with maybe one break session. If you're doing a lot of secondary training, you might even be able to train without any breaks for a week (Depending on how many you won)

 

I like them and it's given a few of my guys some good gains.

Thank yiu freind

EVENT REVIEW

With many of Rehabs top fighters on the card, and several of the nights fights having title implications, RFC 4 – Heating Up produced Rehabs most successful event to date. Egos were bruised, statements were made and a clear picture of RFCs title challengers began to emerge. With the MMA community still raving about RFC 3, RFC 4 had a lot to live up to, and it didn’t fail.

Fight 1 - Diesel Armstrong v Simon Simonsen – 185lb

Exactly as predicted, Diesel Armstrongs early pressure proved too much for Simon Simonsen who was flattened in just over a minute of the very first round. From the opening bell, Armstrong stood in front of Simonsen, flicking out his jab, waiting for an opening to land something big.

He didn’t have to wait long. Just on the minute mark, Armstrong caught Simonsen with a beautifully timed 1-1-2 combination which dropped him to the floor. Sensing a knockout, Armstrong waved him back to his feet. With his nose bloodied, ducking under a left jab, Simonsen ducked right into a vicious right uppercut from Armstrong which knocked him out before he hit the floor. An ecstatic Armstrong jumped onto the cage yelling “I’m Back, before going back to check Simonsen was OK. After being KO’d in his RFC debut, Armstrong got back on track in impressive fashion. Simonsen meanwhile moves onto 0-3-0 in his first three fights, losing all by (T)KO.

At only 18 years of age, Armstrong still has a lot to learn but with time on his side, and an obvious ability to fight, this kid could be a future star. It’s hard to see where Simonsen goes from here. Terrible striking defence and a suspect chin isn’t a good combination, particularly when you’re being hit with four ounce gloves. A change in career may be his best bet

Result – Diesel Armstrong – W – KO (Punch) – 1m10s RND 1

Fight 2 - Ras Butten v Stres Fleshou – 205lb

Coming off a devastating beating from Marc Charbonnier in his RFC debut, Ras Butten was another fighter in need of a win. His opponent this time out was RFC/MMA debutant, Stres Fleshou.

Butten was confident going into the fight that Fleshou would not be able to hang with him in the clinch and planned on roughing him up on the inside before looking for the KO. The first round was all Butten. Instigating the clinch early on, he managed to keep it there for the majority of the round where he used his superior muay thai to land some tasty knees to Fleshous head. Unable to match Butten in the clinch, Fleshou attempted to get the fight to the floor on several occasions but had little success.

Both fighters appeared to be breathing heavy in the second round and after several failed takedown attempts in the first, Fleshou managed to get the fight to the floor early on. It was Butten though who was looking for submissions. Having little success on the floor and with the fight back on the feet, a change of tactics from Fleshou saw him clinch with Butten which proved to be a big mistake. Butten got straight back to work with his knees and although Fleshou was blocking and avoiding most of them, Butten was pulling away on the scorecards due to him being the busier fighter.

After dominating the first two rounds, and with Fleshou having no Butten wasted no time in the third in rushing in and pressing him up against the cage. With both of them clearly tiring, neither fighter did much in the opening minute and with his arms battered from blocking Buttens knees, Fleshous takedown attempts seemed quite laboured and half hearted. After absorbing yet more of Buttens knees, just after a minute of the round, Fleshou managed to pull guard. The reaction of Buttens corner showed this is not where they wanted the fight to go and yelled at him to get up. Butten attempted to posture up and just as he did, Fleshou threw his leg over Buttens head tried to pull him into a tri-angle. Butten threw Fleshous leg to the side and in doing so, left his head exposed. Fleshou reached up and sinched in a guillotine. Being so tired, there was little chance of Butten escaping and Fleshou arched back and squeezed, forcing a hapless Butten to tap. Knowing he was well beaten and lucky to come away with the W, Fleshou was very muted in his celebration, Butten, clearly distraught after dominating the fight, rolled onto his back and covered his face witth his hands. Although happy with his victory, Fleshou acknowledged he needs to work on his game if he’s to make it in the fight game. Butten seemed lost for words after the fight and is now 0-2 in his last two fights. He’ll need to pick himself up though as if he loses his next fight, the chances of him being retained by RFC are slim.

Result – Stres Fleshou – W – Submission (Guilotine) – 2m57s RND 3

Fight 3 - Raymond Grey v Tuco Salamanca – 185lb

With both these guys possessing great boxing skills, fans were expecting a decent stand up fight. What we got was anything but. After his 31 second KO victory in Rehab 1, Tuco Salamanca was brimming with confidence going into the fight but as we predicted, it was Raymond Greys grappling that would decide the result.

At the opening bell, Salamanca lunged in with a big wild right hand. Grey seen it coming and ducked under into a double leg takedown and landing in side control, he went to work straight away looking for submissions. Yanking on Salamancas left arm, Grey tried to force a kimura but Salamanca did well to fend him off. Undeterred, Grey slid his arm under Salamancas head looking for an arm tri-angle. Looking like it was pretty tight, the referee looked to Grey waiting for the tap but realizing he didn’t have it in tight enough, Grey let go, but keeping hold of Salamancas left arm, transitioned back into position looking for another Kimura. In a great display of strength, Salamanca managed to keep his back to the floor and prevent Grey getting the leverage he needed. Lightning quick, Grey took his left hand off Salamancas wrist, grabbed it with his right hand and pushed his arm above his head looking for an Americana. With his arm now clearly tired, Salamanca did well to defend.

Considering both fighters are only white belts in jiu-jitsu, we were witnessing some fantastic grappling, both offensive and defensive. In a brief lull in Greys overwhelming submission offence, Salamanca tried to push him off to get back to his feet. Grey forced him back to his back and again, worked on isolating his left arm looking for another kimura. Realizing he wasn’t in the right position, Grey sprawled across Salamancas body and tried to force an armbar. How Salamancas arm had held up this long is anyones guess. Clearly in a panic now, Salamanca tried to buck Grey off him but using his superior wrestling, Grey easily controlled him and tried to transition to mount. Salamanca wrapped his legs around Greys left leg to prevent him but Grey simply moved back into side control and grabbed Salamancas left arm again. With Salamanca expecting Grey to look for another submission, Grey quickly threw his right leg over Salamancas body and into mount. Now desperate, Salamanca began flailing around under Grey in an attempt to escape. Grey latched onto Salamancas left arm and spun round into an armbar and after the battering his arm had taken, Salamanca didn’t even try to defend and tapped almost immediately.

After witnessing a masterclass in offensive jiu-jitsu, the fans in the venue were on their feet. Raymond Grey seemed overwhelmed by their appreciation and sat in the centre of the octagon, soaking up the atmosphere. In true sportsmanlike behaviour, Tuco Salamanca walked over to Grey and appeared to congratulate him before walking to his corner holding his left arm

Result – Raymond Grey – W – Submission (Armbar) – 3m 56s RND 1

Fight 4 - Semmy Schmuckatelli v Ahmad Howard – 170lb

In a totally dominant performance, Semmy Schmuckatelli shut out Ahmad Howard for three full rounds, putting a beating on him in the process. Howard has looked a shadow of the fighter who won his first two MMA fights, Schmuckatelli meanwhile, is looking like the real deal. Devastatingly effective in the clinch, Schmuckatelli has punched, elbowed and kneed his way to a record of 3-0-0 so far.

From the opening bell, Schmuckatelli established his dominance and set the tone for the rest of the fight. It took him only thirty seconds to get the fight into the clinch where he kept it for practically the entire fight. Knees to the body early on seemed to have knocked the wind out of Howard and after momentarily breaking the clinch, Howard, to the dismay of his corner, instigated a clinch which proved to be big mistake. Schmuckatelli unloaded with a barrage of knees to Howards body and judging by the thudding slaps that could be heard around the venue, and the groans from Howard that accompanied them, Schmuckatelli had done serious damage to the ribs of Howard. Unable to respond to Schmuckatellis knees, or break free from the clinch, Howard did nothing more than attempt to block the onslaught of knees coming from Schmuckatelli. Schmuckatelli simply switched his attack upstairs and landed a scathing elbow to the temple of Howard leaving a 2 inch gash in its wake. There was no respite for Howard as Schuckatelli got him in the plum clinch and battered his body with powerful knees. Due to the groans of pain every time Schmuckatelli landed a knee to his left side, it was obvious there was some sort of injury. It got to the point where it became painful to watch and you could see the referee was contemplating stopping the fight. What happened next could well have cost Schmuckatelli the fight.

Despite being on the verge of finishing the fight, Schuckatelli pulled guard on Howard, taking the fight to the floor where Howard which is where Howard held a definite advantage. Knowing this may well be the only opportunity he would have to finish the fight, Howard took full advantage of his position. Attempting to lay some ground n pound on Schmuckatelli, Howards ribs were clearly troubling him and he wasn’t able to fully wind up and put much power into his strikes. Schmuckatellis corner were yelling at him to get up but Howard had little trouble in controlling him and preventing this. With Howard in full control, Schmuckatelli squirmed about beneath him and in his apparent panic, Howard took his back. However, as Howard was working for a submission, the bell sounded the end of the first round. A relieved and safe to say, lucky Schmuckatelli walked back to his corner with his team berating him. Howard, knowing he may well not get another opportunity like that again looked totally dejected.

Howard came out for the second round in bad shape and clearly struggling for breath. Obviously protecting his left side, Schmuckatelli rushed in and clinched. Knowing Howard was unable to offer up much in the way of offence, Schmuckatelli was less aggressive, choosing to pick his shots, mixing up knees with some nice punches on the inside. On occasion, Howard did try the odd takedown but was doing himself more damage in the process as every time he did, he grimaced in pain. When Howard managed to break free from the clinch towards the rounds end, rather than engage in any type of exchanges, he seemed more content to circle around to avoid being hit any more.

We went into round three with Howard looking like he didn’t want to be there. Straight back into the clinch, the look on Howards face said it all. Sensing the chance to finish Howard, or having the referee step in to stop the fight, Schmuckatelli began working Howards body with yet more knees with almost every one of them bringing out a grunt out of Howard. As hurt as he was, Howard refused to give in but practically refused to engage. Schmuckatelli almost seemed to feel sorry for Howard and when he got the clinch, he was content to just control him rather than punish him. At about the mis dway point of the round, Schmuckatellis corner were yelling at him to finish the fight and almost reluctantly, Schmuckatelli obliged. Another knee to the body and Howard let out a monstrous roar that made you almost want to get in the cage and stop the fight yourself. It also seemed to have an effect on Schmuckatelli too as he seemed to be hesitant in hitting Howards body. Schmuckatelli switched tactics and attempted to take Howard down and surprisingly, Howard managed to fend him of three times.

The round ended and couldn’t have come soon enough for Howard. He slumped to the floor holding his side while thee ringside Doctor rushed in to check on him. Schmuckatelli walked over to him and appeared to whisper in his ear “sorry man”. Whether it was his injury or not, Ahmad Howard just didn’t seem to have the heart to fight tonight and before the fight, his morale seemed pretty low. The Octagon is not the place to be if you’re not totally committed to fighting. Schmuckatelli has now gone the distance three times in three fights, but don’t let that statistic fool you. In all three fights, he has shown total dominance and brutalized all three opponents. Definitely one to keep an eye on sure fire contender for the RFC 170lb strap.

Result – Semmy Schmuckatelli – W – Unan. Decision 30-27, 30-27, 30-27

Fight 5 - Hello Kitty v Yaya Uwawa – 265lb

As was said in the RFC 4 Preview, we know Kitty can punch and has KO power. With a five second KO victory to his name, he holds the record for fastest KO in MMA history. The only way he was really going to lose this fight was if he got into a grappling contest with Yaya Uwawa. A brown belt in jiu-jitsu, and a competent wrestler, Uwawa made it no secret that he intended to take Kitty down and submit him and had he got the opportunity to take Kitty down, the chances are, he would have submitted him. He never got that opportunity.

The bell rang to get the fight underway and both fighters moved toward the centre of the Octagon. Kittys first punch, a right hook to the body missed, his second, a straight right busted and bloodied Uwawas nose, his third…..After connecting with the straight right, Kitty stooped down to his left and wound up an uppercut which connected right on the button. He took Uwawa clean off his feet, landing flat on his back, out cold. WOW, the fight, if you can call it that, lasted a mere 14 seconds. It took the crowd a few seconds to realize what had just happened but when they did, the noise in the venue was unreal. An ecstatic Kitty celebrated by jumping onto the cage and beating his chest. As the KO was replayed on the big screen, there was a collective “oooohhh” from the crowd and with Uwawa still out cold on the floor, realizing how serious this may be, the crowd fell silent. With his cornermen and Doctor around him, Uwawa came around and was helped onto his stool to the cheers from the crowd.

If this kid works on his grappling, even if just for defence, he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with. All three of his wins have come by (T)KO and when he hits, he hurts. He’s proven he can take a shot too, coming back from being rocked in his second fight, to flatten his opponent with an uppercut similar to the one he threw in tonights fight.

Every heavyweight fight under the Rehab banner so far has ended in violent fashion with the loser left starched on the floor. The power these guys have displayed likely means the chances of any of them putting a decent winning streak together is slim. With one punch often deciding the outcome of fights, we can expect fireworks whenever there’s a heavyweight fight on the card.

Result – Hello Kitty – W – KO (Punch) – 0m 14s RND 1

Fight 6 - Son Goku v Brendan Behan – 185lb

Coming into the fight off a thirty five second KO loss, Son Goku was hoping to get back in the W column against a solid opponent in Brendan Behan. The fight started quickly with Goku planting a perfectly timed and placed one-one-four combination to Behans face which sent him sprawling backwards onto the floor. Goku could have finished Behan but rather than follow him to the floor, he foolishly waved him to his feet. A decision he would regret. Still on wobbly legs, Behan got up and shot straight into a double leg and landed in side control. Now in Behans world, Goku had missed his opportunity as Behan controlled him on the floor while he regained his composure and landed some nice ground n pound in the process.

After a period of inactivity, the referee stood the fighters up but with Behan now seemingly fully recovered, he went looking for another takedown. Using his jab to keep Behan at bay, Goku looked for a couple of takedowns himself but Behan had little trouble in stuffing them. With neither fighter able to establish their dominance or get any sort of meaningful offence going, the majority of the round was spent with the fighters pressed against the cage not doing much at all. Goku did score with a takedown right at the end of the round but had no time to do anything as the bell sounded to end the round.

Behan took Goku down right at the start of the second and after missing with a couple of punches, was content to lay n pray for best part of a minute. With Goku not being the most skilled fighter on the floor, we were expecting Behan to shine if he got the fight there but Goku did well to avoid his ground n pound. Not having much success, Behan stood backup and Goku followed him. With both fighters practically shutting the other out, the rest of the round played out with them alternating between takedowns and clinching against the cage where they wrestled for control and position. It was clear early on that this fight eas going the distance.

The third round started the same as the second with Behan getting the takedown and looking to control Goku. After establishing his control, Behan let go with some ground n pound and looking for submissions. With a drop off in pace, and the crowd showing their displeasure, the referee was forced to step in and stand the fighters back up. Goku wasted no time though in looking to take the fight back to the floor. Although not the most exciting fight to watch, it was a gruelling contest and both fighters were gassed midway through the third. Not much happened until the final minute and a half when Behan began chopping away at Gokus legs with some nice kicks. Landing another takedown, Behan advanced to full mount but surprisingly, he stood back up, letting Goku off the hook. The most exciting thing to happen in the rest of the round was Behan blowing his nose and the snot he ejected landing on Gokus shoulder. The final bell couldn’t come soon enough in this fight and the crowd let it be known. The fight promised so much at the beginning but after a gruelling, and uneventful fourteen and a half minutes, we went to the judges for a decision.

Result – Brendan Behan – W – Unanimous Decision – 28-29, 27-30,28-30

Fight 7 -Luke Plouman v Michael Ruby – 135lb

Under threat of being released by his management company, Michael Ruby went into this fight wanting to make a statement. With both fighters accomplished grapplers, Ruby a wrestler and Plouman a brown belt in jiu-jitsu, there was little chance of a striking exhibition. It was expected that Ruby would want to keep the fight in the clinch in order to avoid messing with Ploumans jiu-jitsu on the floor, so when Ruby took Plouman down at the opening bell, Plouman was as surprised as anyone. More surprising was Rubys jiu-jitsu offence. Obviously putting the hours in on the mat before the fight, he attempted no less than twelve submissions in the first round, transitioning between kimuras, tri-angles and arm tri-angles. No slouch himself, Plouman tried to match Rubys output with his own offence but it was Ruby who looked the more dangerous fighter. His control and slick advances kept Plouman guessing and reacting rather implementing his own game plan. Bewildered by his opponents’ constant pressure, the rounds end couldn’t come soon enough for Luke Plouman and at the bell to end the round, he sat for a second on the floor with a look on his face that said “What just happened there?” Ruby meanwhile, beaming from ear to ear after dominating a guy with a superior ground game, looked toward his manager for acknowledgment which strangely, didn’t come?

Forced straight into the clinch at the start of round two, Plouman attempted to pull guard. Stuffing the attempt, and seemingly growing in confidence, Ruby broke the clinch and shot in for double leg, landing in side control. A clearly frustrated Plouman tried bucking Ruby off him but using his excellent wrestling, Ruby controlled the position and went looking for another submission. After a couple of failed attempts at a kimura, Ruby got a little too aggressive and overzealous and went after an Americana. Sensing his opportunity, Plouman escaped by rolling Ruby over and straight into side control. Keeping hold of Rubys right arm in the process, Plouman set himself up beautifully for a kimura and instantly applied the pressure that forced Ruby to tap.

Unbelievable, after taking Plouman on at his own game and totally dominating the fight, one bad, split second decision from Michael Ruby had cost him the fight. Knowing he was lucky to come away with the W, a relieved Plouman was very muted in his celebration, preferring to help Ruby to his feet and raise his hand as if to acknowledge he was well beaten up to the fights end. Had Ruby not got too eager to finish the fight, he may well have finished Plouman later in the round. His precarious position with his management may well have crept into his thought process during the fight causing the momentary lapse in his concentration which ultimately, may well have ended his tenure in Rehab Fighting Championship.

Result – Luke Plouman – W – Submission (Kimura) – 2m 56s RND 2

Fight 8 - Jon Bates v Katar Hilal - 265+lb

Jon Bates knows how to win fights and he showed that against the durable Katar Hilal. Bates knows what he’s good at and rarely moves out of his comfort zone, preferring to stick to his game plans and grind out results. With Katar Hilal having a similar fighting style, many were expecting a both fighters to cancel each other out but the fight actually turned out to be quite an entertaining affair.

It was Bates’ boxing that would prove to be the difference in the fight. Using his crisp boxing to set up his clinches, Bates dominated Hilal for best part of the fight. A lovely place one-two early in round one opened a cut on the bridge of Hilals nose which would cause him problems throughout the fight. Unable to get the fight to the floor, Halal at times seemed a bit lost. Bates meanwhile, implemented his game plan to perfection. When on the outside, Bates would take full advantage of Hilals lack of any meaningful offence and pick him apart. Some thudding body shots knocked the wind out of Hilal and anytime Hilal looked ready to let any shots of his own go, Bates simply closed the distance and into the clinch. Not really doing much when he got there, Bates seemed to use this tactic to frustrate Hilal and prevent him shooting in for takedowns.

That was the story pretty much throughout the whole fight. On the odd occasion Hilal managed to get Bates to the floor, Bates simply got back to his feet and picked up where he left off. Bates has shown in previous fights that he can finish opponents but unless an opportunity presents itself, he seems reluctant to push the pace and go looking for the finish. Not the most exciting fighter to watch, Bates has managed to win all but one of his seven fights. Hilal meanwhile, seems to have hit his ceiling. After being so easily shut down and with so little effort on behalf of his opponent, it’s hard to see him progressing any further in the division. With the 265+lb division now beginning to take shape, Hilal looks destined to hang around somewhere near the bottom of it. Bates meanwhile moves onto sterner competition from here on out and with Marcus Pereira in his next fight, he’s going to have to step up his game if he doesn’t want to become an also ran himself.

Result – Jon Bates – W – Unanimous Decision – 30-27, 30-27, 30-27.

Fight 9 Co-Main Event - Ramon Gracie v Veke Purha – 170lb

Any fight involving a Gracie stirs up excitement, and this one was no different. Ramon Gracie, a fourth generation fighter from the first family of fighting, burst onto the scene with a first round submission in his MMA debut at RFC 1. His opponent, Veke Purha had run through his first two opponents, finishing both via (T)KO in the first round, still, he was expected to be the stepping stone for Gracie to move onto bigger things in RFC, Purha though, had his own plans.

Surprisingly, Gracie chose to stand and trade with Purha for best part of the first round. Neither fighter landed much early on but it was Purha who was getting the better of the exchanges. Just after three minutes in, Purha landed a nice one-two combo that rattled Gracie and he followed it up with another identical one-two combo that cut Gracie above the left eye. Clearly in trouble and with his uncle, Royce Gracie, screaming from his corner to take him down, Ramon shot in with a trip and landed in half guard. Purha did well to prevent Gracie from moving into mount and the bell signalled the end of round one.

In Ramons corner, Royce, Renner and Rollo Gracie were giving him instructions in Portuguese. Purha was already on his feet, eager to get the round underway. The bell sounded and Purha immediately rushed in to clinch. Upon separation, Gracie shot in for a takedown which Purha defended. With Gracie now clearly looking to get in close and get the fight to the floor, Purha kept his distance, moving quickly in and out of range to land his shots. Surprisingly, Purha instigated a clinch where he began working Ramons body with some tasty knees and after landing flush with an elbow to Gracies head, he broke the clinch and moved back out of range. An attempted leg kick from Purha was caught by Gracie and he was dragged to the floor. With more urgency now in his game, Gracie turned it on and went looking for submissions. Dropping back for a leg lock, Purha defended and ended up in top position. Happy to work off his back, Gracie attempted several times to pull Purha into a tri-angle but Purha was wise to it and defended well. Toward the end of the round, Gracie reversed Purha slipped into half guard and went searching for an arm tri-angle. Purha had obviously been working on his submission defence and had no problem defending it.

With the Gracies unhappy with Ramons performance, they instructed him to go on the attack. Purha came out for the third tentatively pawing at Gracie with his jab and after throwing a left to the body, Gracie latched onto his lead leg and pulled him to the floor. With more urgency in his attacks now, Gracie again went for a leg lock but Purha slipped out and jumped into Gracies guard where he let go with some nice ground n pound. All it took though was one sloppy strike and Gracie grabbed hold of his arm and before Purha knew what was happening, Gracie had turned over and extended his arm forcing him to tap. Lovely jui-jitsu there from Gracie. The Gracies rushed into the Octagon and picked Ramon up onto their shoulders. The fighters were awarded FIGHT OF THE NIGHT honours and Ramon picked up SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT, but any talk of title shots may be a little pre-mature as although Purha was a game opponent, his skills are nowhere near those of RFCs more accomplished fighters at 170lb. Ramon obviously needs a couple more fights to improve his overall game before he takes the step up in competition.

Result – Ramon Gracie – W – Submission (Armbar) – 1m 20s RND 3

Fight 10 Main Event - Marc Charbonnier v Curtis Crane – 205lb

Full of confidence, Mark Charbonnier wasted no time in calling out Curtis Crane after his demolition of Ras Butten in his RFC debut. Crane, one of RFCs top ranked fighters going into the fight, was reluctant to take the fight at first, stating Charbonnier was trying to talk his way to the top. Charbonnier responded by threatening to run through Cranes team mates after beating him. Easily RFCs biggest fight to date, the buzz surrounding the fight was palpable.

At the opening bell, Charbonnier wasted no time in taking Crane down and getting to work with some ground n pound. With Crane controlling his posture from guard, Charbonnier wasn’t able to get much going early on but as the round progressed, he began to find a home for some elbows. Unable to get Charbonnier off him, Crane was content to control the position until an opportunity to get up presented itself. The opportunity wouldn’t come though. Clearly tiring from having Charbonniers weight on him for the first three or so minutes, Charbonnier started to land some big shots. He bounced Cranes head off the canvas with a big left hand before standing up and holding Cranes ankles. Pushing Cranes legs to the side, Charbonnier dived in and landed a thunderous left hand to Cranes face which momentarily sent Cranes eyes rolling to the back of his head and before he knew what was going on, Charbonnier unloaded with some vicious punches and elbows which saw the referee dive in and call the fight off. Charbonnier peeled away leaving Crane crumpled against the cage, semi-conscious. Marc Charbonnier is the real deal ladies and gentleman. Picking up KO OF THE NIGHT for his efforts, Charbonnier is a sure fire bet to become RFCs inaugural 205lb champion.

Result – Marc Charbonnier – W – (T)KO Strikes – 3m 22s – RND 1

With Charbonnier living up to the hype he’d generated, a Gracie putting on a masterclass in how to submit an opponent and a solid night of fights, RFC 4 – Heating Up goes down as RFCs most successful event to date. There’s no let up in pace though as we move onto RFC 5 – A Pool Of Blood on 4/11/2015. With divisions now taking shape and contenders beginning to emerge, the excitement continues to build here at Rehab Fighting Championship.

Rehab 5: A Pool Of Blood Event Preview

Rehab 5: A Pool Of Blood promises to be one of the best events to date. Coming in on a not so normal day (Wednesday) This card is for a lot of the

new fighters in RFC to make their Debut. Expect a high flying, all out war in the octagon on Wednesday.

Fight 1 – 185 lbs - Dalin Vs Mill

The night of fights starts out with two extremely evenly matched fighters with Mill a slight advantage in the stand up game. Dalin, a natural wrestler with some BJJ mixed in was taken down in his debut of the QFC by TKO. He hasnt fought since. Interviews conducted Monday had his Manager talking highly of his training at Team Alpha Success in Amsterdam. Mill however, also a Wrestling fighter with BJJ has a bit stronger stand up skills. Both fights Mill has fought went the distance, landing him an even record at 1-1 in the QFC. Both 18 year old guys have their debuts cut out for them on probably the MOST even fight to ever be hosted at the RFC. This fight will come down to who can control the ground better, don't expect this fight to stay standing for very long at all.

Fight 2 – 205 lbs - Yals Vs Wagner

The On deck bout will be between two well-rounded fighters with Yals taking the upper hand at the stand up game. Yals at 0-1 will want to keep this fight standing. He out boxes his apponent here and hell take home his first win in the RFC. StoneJaw Wagner on the other hand, has an even record in his QFC fights at 1-1. He won his very first fight by TKO and lost his second by a beautiful Submission by armbar. Expect him to want to stay up, but this fight should come down to who can throw that winning KO punch.

Fight 3 – 145 lbs - Rose Vs Nelson

Our Third fight of the night consists of two new fighters both working their way into the 8 man tournament for the belt next month. Rose, sitting at 0-1 in QFC will try and take his superior ground game to the win. These two opponents couldn't be more different in fighting styles. Nelson, 1-0 in QFC has outstanding boxing and will use this to his advantage. Expect a Boxer Vs GnP in this one. The thing to note is Rose uncanny ability to punish fighters using his Muay Tai. Should be an interesting fight.

Fight 4 – 155 lbs - Vasleyiev Vs Bitter

Vasleyiev will be showing us his talent in his very first professional fight of his career. Vas has outrageously high Muay Tai, and you will most certainly see him execute that during this action packed bout. Bitter, coming off a heart breaking Kimura submission loss in his QFC debut, has a bone to pick and will be motivated and determined to even out his record.

Fight 5 – 205 lbs - Otis Vs Sachz

Otis Vs Sachz could easily be the fight of the night. Otis coming in with extremely strong stand up game where Sachz has the exact opposite with his ground game. The theme of tonight is who can execute their plan more efficiently? That will be who wins the fight. Otis will want to keep this fight standing, Sachz will do everything in his power to take his opponent down using his wrestling background and have his way with him when that happens. Should be a good fight.

Fight 6 – 185 lbs - Bentley Vs Miranda

Our Last undercard fight will be Bentley, the most balanced fighter in the RFC against The Mauler...An extremely strong ground fighter that can do a little bit of everything. Expect the Mauler to control this fight in every aspect. Especially considering how Bentley trained to hard and is coming into this fight with half energy.

Fight 7 - 145 lbs - Dalembert Vs Rodriguez

Our first Main Card bout will be Dalembert a Muay Tai fighter against Rodriguez, a phenomenal BJJ fighter that has already acquired a Fight of the Night award in his first Organization. Expect Rodriguez to try and submit his opponent early but Dalembert can play a few different game plans. Should be a really exciting bit of action.

Dalembert: 1-1 (0-0)

Rodriguez: 1-0 (0-0)

Fight 8 - 170 lbs - Hughes Vs Jackson

Our most "green" fight will be Hughes from Jackson. Both making their professional debuts. Its hard to really say how this fight will transpire, but my guess would be Hughes tries to abuse Jackson with his Muay Tai and BJJ background and Jackson will most certainly try to keep this fight standing. Lets see which fighter prepares a better game plan.

Hughes: 0-0 (0-0)

Jackson: 0-0 (0-0)

Co-Main Event - 265 lbs - Logan Vs Ryder

Our Co-Main Event promises to be a premier matchup between two undefeated up and comers in the RFC 265 Division. Logan, an extremely high powered Muay Tai and Wrestling phenom will try to impose his will in more ways than one. Ryder, a hybrid of sorts, comes out with an advantage in BJJ and Boxing. Should be a really interesting fight and It has me stumped to guess how this fight will turn out.

Logan: 2-0 (0-0)

Ryder: 1-0 (0-0)

Main Event - 145 lbs - Milenko Vs Chula

Our Main event will undoubtedly put this event to rest in style. Milenko, a super balanced fighter can beat his opponent with almost any gameplan. Chula on the other hand relies only on his insane Muay Tai background. It would be no surprise to see this Main Event go the distance. Both fighters will most certainly be in the Tournament of Champions in December to decide the 145 belt.

Milenko: 1-0 (0-0)

Chula: 0-0 (0-0)

It will be an amazing mid week fight card. Expect a lot of Muay Tai and Ground fighting in this event. A lot of fighters took this fight to show RFC they are here to stay and want a shot at the belt. Its up to each fighter to prove themselves here and now... as the first RFC champion in their respective divisions.
