FIght offer has been signed and I'm good to go for my first test in some time. The guy is an undefeated hardhitting prospect, just like me.

I look forward to the preview!

Brutus Benduover

So I've been told my next fight is against some bum named Brutus Beefcake, I mean wtf is going on here.

I'm the only BRUTUS that matters in this org, what the promoter trying to do, create a Brutus & Brutus comedy show?

Well I guess in a way that's exactly what they've done cuz once I turn Beefcake into a crumbled heap of Cupcake, that will be some funny shit.

Beefcake, you will realize the worst thing you've done so far in your career was allowing your manager to accept this fight!

Only thing uncertain at this point is will I go ahead and end your night early, or toy with you and make you suffer for a couple rounds.

I see some Dawg running his mouth down in the 265 division. I may have to jumped down to that lightweight 265 division to shut some ppl up.

Bravado 7: Island vs Dimotroglu – Official Review

[The Prelims]

http://i.imgur.com/jYfWpzM.jpg

(Heavyweight Division) Tim Ortiz versus Sukro Lesmono

Round 1 – Tim Ortiz opened by attempting a right hand, but Sukro Lesmono avoided it with ease. Ortiz followed it up by missing with a left hook and a body punch, and Lesmono attempted a leg kick and a body shot; both missed. Ortiz landed a crisp jab; Lesmono started to throw a counter, but opted to reset rather than commit to the punch. Ortiz missed with a looping left hand, stuffed a takedown, and pushed forward with a three punch combination! Jab, right hand, left hook!

Lesmono fired back with a shot to the body that just missed, and slipped out of range of a lunging counter-right hand from Ortiz! Ortiz landed a body shot of his own, followed by a right hand down the middle. Both fighters missed with some shots, with Ortiz attempting more shots than Lesmono by wide margin. Ortiz attempted a combination, and Lesmono clinched him up against the cage. In the clinch, we saw more of the same: Lesmono attempting takedowns, and not much else, with Ortiz throwing a lot of shots with reckless abandon, but not landing very frequently.

Aside from obtaining a clinch, Lesmono didn't find any real success in this round.

Round 2 – Ortiz landed a shot to the body, and Lesmono scored a double leg takedown into side control; he finally found his way to the ground, and immediately stood back up. Poor game plan from Sukro Lesmono. The next three minutes or so was a repeat of the opening round; Lesmono attempting takedowns and eating punches for his trouble. Ortiz was the aggressor, and missing frequently.

At the three minute mark, Sukro Lesmono scored another takedown into side control! This time, he retained the position. Ortiz attempted to simply stand up, and fell into a kimura armlock submission! Ortiz attempted to fight the attack, but ended up tapping out just the same.

Our analyst stated, “Out of eight victories, this is the eighth submission win for Sukro Lesmono.”

And our color commenter responded, “As impressive as the actual finish was, Sukro was losing that fight badly before he found the submission. In his debut, he was knocked out by Broderick Brickstock, and now he came out and seemed to be on his way to another defeat before he found a way to win.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at three minutes and seventeen seconds of the second round, declaring the winner by submission due to a kimura: Sukro Lesmono!”

(Light-heavyweight Division) Budo Rei Jr versus Dudley Fraiser

Round 1 - Budo Rei Jr opened with a monster leg kick, and Fraiser immediately clinched with him against the cage. Fraiser attempted to pull guard, and Rei Jr pushed away and circled back to the center of the ring. Both fighters attempted to engage in the center of the ring; Fraiser was looking to clinch, and Budo Rei was looking to land punches.

Budo Rei Jr landed another leg kick, and Fraiser attempted to shoot for a takedown; Rei sprawled efficiently. As Fraiser got back to his feet, Rei Jr smashed him with a head kick that busted his nose up. Budo Rei opened up with more kicks to the leg and body, and Fraiser bounced on the balls of his feet for a moment, taking a deep breath.

One minute into the round, Budo Rei was finding a home for that leg kick. Fraiser slowed down tremendously and Budo Rei picked up the pace, landing more kicks to the legs and body of his opponent. Fraiser attempted a sloppy takedown, but the welts on his lead leg were giving him noticeable discomfort already.

Three minutes in, Budo Rei Jr pushed Fraiser against the cage; Fraiser attempted to pull guard, and Rei started smashing him with elbows to the face; elbow after elbow, targeting that busted nose. As more and more blood began pouring from the face of the “Canadian Mounty”, the referee stepped in to take a good look at his nose. The referee finally paused the action, calling in the cage-side doctor to take a look at Dudley's face; the doctor shook his head, and the referee stopped the fight!

Our analyst stated, “Budo Rei Jr makes his professional debut in style!”

And our color commenter responded, “Budo Rey is absolutely a savage; his Muay Thai was on point tonight. I'm looking forward to seeing what this kid can do in the future.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, following advice from the doctor, the referee has called a stop to this contest at four minutes and fifty-eight seconds of round number one, declaring the winner by TKO: “The Million Dollar Kid”, Budo Rei Jr!”

(Middleweight Division) Good Bye versus Troy Anselmo

Round 1 – Troy Anselmo opened with a hay maker of a left hand that missed by a mile, and Bye attempted to clinch up, but couldn't accomplish it. Anselmo continued to fire off looping punches; they got the crowd groaning with each swing, but they repeatedly hit nothing but air. Good Bye finally clinched up with Anselmo, ate a punch to the chops, and lost his grip on Anselmo, who happily slipped away.

Bye clinched up with Anselmo briefly, but let go of the position. Anselmo got the better of an exchange of punches, and Bye landed a solid body kick before slipping away again. Good Bye clinched several more times for the duration of the round, but repeatedly broke the clinch before dealing any real damage. Overall, this was a relatively even round.

Round 2 – After a few decent striking exchanges, Good Bye clinched with Anselmo and attempted to pull guard. Bye landed some decent short range shots while Anselmo attempted to control the position before breaking free. The remainder of the round repeated these few sentences; Anselmo would land some shots at a distance, and Bye would clinch up for thirty seconds or so. It was another razor close round that could have gone either way.

Round 3 – After an opening exchange of punches, both men moved away unscathed. Good Bye shot in for a takedown, but Anselmo stuffed the attempt. Both men started swinging with left hooks that missed.

One minute into the round, Anselmo landed a pair of right hands, and Good Bye tied him up, clinching with him in the center of the cage. Neither man landed anything in the clinch before Anselmo broke free and returned to the center of the cage.

Anselmo landed a jab, and Good Bye answered with a body kick! Anselmo fired back with a left hand to the head and Bye attempted to tie him up. Good Bye attempted a jab to the body, and Anselmo caught him coming in with a left hook to the liver! Anselmo attempted a combination, and Bye slipped the shots.

Both men traded shots in the center of the ring, and Good Bye clinched up one more time with just over a minute left in the fight. Bye and Anselmo attempted punches on the inside, but neither of them were landing; Anselmo broke free from the clinch and landed a right hand on the button! Bye stayed on his feet and landed a leg kick.

As the round came to a close, Anselmo picked up the pace, looking to score a knockout! He was throwing a large volume of strikes, but he failed to land with all of it.

The color commenter muttered, “How would you like to be a judge in this fight?”

“Ladies and gentlemen, after thee rounds of action we go to the judges scorecards for a decision. All three judges score the bout 29-29; this fight has been ruled a draw.”

Both fighters stood speechless before shaking their heads and leaving the cage in disgust.

(Super-heavyweight Division) Calvin Jones versus Jimmy Valmer

Round 1 – Calvin Jones opened the fight with his patented power double leg takedown! Jimmy Valmer quickly sprawled to stuff the attempt. Over the course of the next thirty seconds, the fighters attempted a combined eight spammed takedowns. At the forty-five second mark, Valmer scored the first takedown of the fight, landing in the guard of Calvin Jones.

Valmer started working the short hammerfists from guard, not looking to pass the guard at all. Jones attempted to sweep, but resorted to controlling the postured of his opponent instead. After about a minute, the referee stood the fighters up, and Jones scored a takedown of his own! Jones maintained the position before advancing to side control! Jones attempted an Americana but opted to remain in control instead.

Round 2 – Jones attempted an overhand right, but Valmer ducked out of range easily. After a solid minute of mutual takedown attempt spamming, Valmer scored a takedown into side control. Jones regained half guard, and Valmer stalled out the majority of the round, scoring just enough with ground and pound to maintain the position. Near the end of the round, the referee stood the fighters up, and both men returned to takedown spamming.

Round 3 – Jones attempted three straight takedown attempts, and Valmer scored a counter take down into guard. Valmer scored with some ground and pound, attempted a submission, and Jones regained full guard. Valmer returned to simply controlling, so the referee stood them back up. Jones attempted another takedown, and Valmer once again brought him to the ground; he landed in side control this time. Valmer scored with some brutal ground and pound for the last minute of the fight, and Jones started throwing strikes off of his back, looking to land with anything.

Our analyst stated, “Second defeat within Bravado Productions for the former prospect Calvin Jones. Meanwhile, Jimmy Valmer has rebounded from his defeat at the hands of Jerome Bland at Bravado 2.”

And our color commenter responded, “This fight won't do much to put either man into title contention, unfortunately. Nobody wants to see someone laying on his opponent, not looking to finish. The real question, though, is: where does Calvin Jones go from here? He has shown a great degree of promise in fights with Travis Zero and Hollyfield Gomes, and he might be able to cause problems for a guy like Bland, but there are some tough guys in this division.

Bipolar Opposite has left the company, but let's say that Jones wins the title someday; he will eventually have to defend it against Valmer, right? Can he overcome the deficit that caused him problems in this fight? And how far does the company let him sink before he is released from his contract? Bravado president Marcus Whitman will have a lot of things to think about after a few of the fights that have happened tonight, and we're not even to the main card yet.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, after three rounds of action we go to the judges scorecards for a decision. All three judges score the bout 30-27 for the winner by unanimous decision: Jimmy “Hammerclaw” Valmer!”

(Heavyweight Division) Daniel Jacobs versus Broderick Brickstock

Round 1 – Jacobs opened with a crisp jab, and attempted to clinch up with Brickstock, who circled away. Jacobs was getting a bit wild with his punches, leaving himself wide open for a counter. Jacobs attempted a body shot, and Brickstock cracked him with a left hook! Jacobs plunged forward with a left hand, and ate a right hand to the jaw!

Brickstock pushed forward with a body shot before getting a bit crazy with a wild series of strikes that missed; Jacobs attempted a body shot, and Brickstock tagged him with a big right hand! Jacobs went down, but Brickstock let him get back to his feet. Jacobs was on wobbly legs, and Brickstock sensed it! Brickstock pushed forward with a one-two combination! He started with the lead right, and followed it with a left hand! Jacobs went down, completely unconscious! In the time that it took the referee to jump between them, Brickstock landed one more right hand on the button to make sure he stayed down!

Our analyst stated, “Within two appearances inside Bravado Productions, Broderick Brickstock has scored two lightning fast knockout victories.”

And our color commenter responded, “Broderick is my favorite type of fighter; he has repeatedly offered himself to Bravado management, guaranteeing that he would even take a fight with a killer like Mark Wahlberg if it was presented to him. Rumor has it that Broderick immediately contacted Marcus with an offer to fight anyone in the division, once again stating that he would fight Wahlberg, so Mr. Whitman presented him with a fight contract to face Mickey Darmody. If that fight happens, it will be huge for both men.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at forty-six seconds of the very first round, declaring the winner by KNOCK OUT: Broderick “The Bastard” Brickstock!”

(Welterweight Division) Bonerz McGee versus Mirko Pezzulla

Round 1 – Both fighters walked out to the default ring music provided by Bravado Productions. After a quick touch of gloves, the fight was underway. Pezzulla was looking to clinch right away, and McGee was moving in and out with a lot of single strikes that were missing by a wide margin. Pezzulla finally clinched; after a brief battle for position, McGee pressed Pezzulla against the cage and went to work with short punches to the head and body.

After a big uppercut to the body seemed to hurt Pezzulla, McGee pushed the pace with more punches, especially to the body. Pezzulla was noticeably rocked to the body, and he took a deep breath, trying to survive the round. At the 2:30 mark, McGee came over the top with a monstrous punch to the face, and Pezzulla almost went down. After a few more seconds of abuse, Mirko Pezzulla broke free of the clinch and started riding his bicycle, making McGee chase after him.

Bonerz McGee obliged, chasing Pezzulla down with punches and kicks, battering the man with a lot of time left on the clock. Mirko Pezzulla has a lot of heart, and he quickly recovered from the punches that hurt him in the clinch. After finding little to no success striking at a distance, he decided to try his luck in the clinch once more; McGee went to work with body shots again, while easily blocking the retaliatory knees of Pezzulla.

Round 2 – Back at a striking distance, Bonerz opened with a leg kick and a jab. Pezzulla tried to fire back with a head kick, but McGee ducked under it and came back with a right hand on the button. Pezzulla was in big trouble in these early seconds, clearly still staggering as the body shots from the first round continued to pay dividends. McGee landed a jab, avoided a high kick, and cracked Pezzulla with an uppercut! Pezzulla fell back against the cage, and McGee gracefully stood with his right hand cocked as the referee jumped between them, stopping the fight!

Our analyst stated, “Bonerz McGee wins his Bravado debut in style! With this victory, he has won four consecutive bouts in a row!”

And our color commenter responded, “Following this victory, it was announced that Bonerz McGee will be moving down to the freshly opened lightweight division to face former Casino Fight Nights champion Kai Yamaguchi. That should be a hell of a fight!”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at forty-six seconds of the second round, declaring the winner by T-K-O: Bonerz McGee!”

(Middleweight Division) Raymond Reddington versus Joyo Kumlakar

Round 1 – Neither fighter had selected a walkout song for this fight, nor did they show interest in touching gloves following the pre-fight instructions from the referee. They both wanted to get right down to business. Both men stormed from their half of the ring, and met in the middle! Reddington opened with a jab, and Kumlakar dove forward, looking for a takedown... Reddington stuffed the attempt with ease and shook his head.

Kumlakar attempted another takedown, and Reddington simply side stepped the attempt. Reddington landed a big three punch combination! Kumlakar seemed to absorb the shots well, but he was bleeding already. Reddington, obviously a fan of The Fighter, pushed forward going head-body-head-body, with jabs high and low, backing Kumlakar against the cage! Joyo Kumlakar shot in for a takedown and ran straight into a right hand... if that right hand had landed flush, Joyo might have gone down.

Reddington landed a jab and Kumlakar scored his first takedown of the night! Reddington got right back to his feet, however, and landed some stiff jabs to keep the former Sovereignty champion at bay. Kumlakar scored another takedown into guard, but failed to hold on as Reddington stood back up. Clinched up against the cage, Joyo attempted four consecutive submissions as Raymond Reddington began to open up with punches to the face and body.

Reddington broke free from the clinch and started pumping out the jab. As Joyo Kumlakar began to fade noticeably, Reddington upped the pace, sensing that his opponent had broken! Jab, jab, jab, right hand! Kumlakar was rocked by a big punching combination! Kumlakar began takedown spamming with a fury, but Reddington stuffed every attempted and cracked Kumlakar with another combination! Kumlakar went down, but he wasn't out of the fight yet!

Joyo Kumlakar got to his feet, and simply covered up with his back against the cage! Raymond Reddington cracked him with a body shot and a big left hook! Kumlakar went down, and Reddington began landing punches at will! The referee jumped between them, and Kumlakar shot for a dazed single leg on the referee!

Our analyst stated, “Welcome to Bravado Productions, Raymond Reddington! Raymond is on a three fight winning streak, and has successfully won in his promotional debut!”

And our color commenter responded, “Although he's primarily known as a bit of a brawler, Raymond Reddington showed that he was more than capable of surviving on the ground against a vicious submission fighter in Joyo Kumlakar.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at four minutes and thirty-one seconds of the first round, declaring the winner by TKO: Raymond “Blacklist” Reddington!”

http://mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20160830200232brav.jpg(Welterweight Division, Championship bout) Jonath Masvidal versus Manny Pacquaio

Round 1 – Jonath Masvidal, the number one ranked welterweight fighter, made his way to the ring to absolute silence- no entrance music, not even the default arena music that is provided by Bravado Productions. The energy in the arena was electric as the fans anticipated a tremendous knockout from the highly touted Greco Roman wrestler turned Muay Thai phenom. By contrast, Manny Pacquaio was all smiles as he walked out to Justin Bieber's single Never Say Never, featuring Jaden Smith. Manny knew that he was the underdog coming into this fight, and he readily embraced the role. Playing to the crowd, Manny bumped fists with audience members en route to the cage.

Pacquaio came out aggressive; after landing a solid uppercut, he pressed Masvidal against the cage. Masvidal scored with an uppercut of his own and broke free of the clinch. Pacquaio pushed forward with some punches, but Masvidal side stepped and shook his head. Pacquaio lunged in with a right hand, and Masvidal slipped the punch, landing a right hand of his own. Pacquaio threw an overhand right with bad intentions written all over it, but Masvidal easily blocked the punch. Pacquaio scored with a jab, and Masvidal returned fire with a jab to the body, and a right hand on the button! Manny Pacquaio was rocked!

Jonath Masvidal came forward, and Pacquaio cracked him with a glancing uppercut. Masvidal attempted a body kick, but Manny avoided it and landed a jab. Manny opened up with a one-two combination that connected! Pacquaio attempted a lead uppercut and ate a jab to the body for his trouble. Pacquaio connected with a left hook, attempted to follow it with a right cross that missed.

Manny feinted with a jab, and then landed a left hook! Pacquaio scored with a jab to the body, followed by a right hand on the button, very similar to the combination that had rocked him earlier in the fight! Oh, Masvidal went down! Pacquaio was landing punches in bunches, looking to finish the fight! Masvidal attempted to stand and escape, but was hurt by another punch and slumped back down to the floor! The referee finally stepped in to stop the fight!

As Manny Pacquaio celebrated his new championship with his corner men, Jonath Masvidal stared at the ceiling from the flat of his back, bewildered about what had just transpired.

Our analyst stated, “Manny Pacquaio is the first champion in the history of Bravado Productions!”

And our color commenter responded, “Oh, my God! On rubbery legs, Manny Pacquaio came back from the brink of defeat to knock Jonath Masvidal out. Manny Pacquaio has traditionally shown that he flourishes in the clinch and struggles at a distance; clearly, Masvidal was planning to exploit this perceived weakness, and Manny Pacquaio made him pay with his consciousness.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at one minute and forty-seven seconds of the very first round, declaring the winner by TKO: Manny “Pacman” Pacquaio!”

(Super-heavyweight Division) Azadshatru Singh versus Chip Chocolate

Round 1 – Both men walked out to the default ring music. After a touch of gloves, this fight started with a bang. Chocolate feinted with a punch and scored a double leg takedown into guard. Singh, a professional kick boxer for most of his career, has not been known for his wrestling ability. Although he started training wrestling at the Serenity's Fury private gym, rumors behind the scenes have been that he has been getting “handled” in the training room.

Chip Chocolate wasted no time in passing into side control and going to work with ground and pound. Singh seemed to be getting frustrated already from this position, and he tried to force a scramble. Chocolate slipped around and took his back! Chip Chocolate flattened Singh out and locked in a rear naked choke! Singh tapped out rather than going to sleep.

Our analyst stated, “Third straight professional win for Chip Chocolate!”

And our color commenter responded, “This looked like vintage Chip Chocolate, who was so dominant during his days in the GAMMA Stomp-a-thon. During his prime, Chocolate seemed unstoppable as he claimed the super-heavyweight championship. He tried to drop down to heavyweight, and had some difficulties there, but he is undefeated as a super-heavyweight.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at two minutes and fifty-seven seconds of the first round, declaring the winner by submission due to a rear naked choke: Chip Chocolate!”

(Light-heavyweight Division) Kromog Island versus Arnoldur Dimotroglu

Round 1 – Kromog Island entered the ring to the heavy hitting metal sounds of Damageplan's song “Fuck You”. Arnoldur Dimotroglu walked out to the default arena music. Despite the tension at the weigh-ins the day prior, there was a mutual nod and fist bump before this fight went live.

Kromog Island clinched immediately, and Dimotroglu scored with uppercuts to the body before dropping down for a single leg takedown; Island adjusted his legs and defended well, maintaining a wide base, and Dimotroglu went back to holding on. Island scored with a short shot to the body. Dimotroglu dropped down for his patented single leg once more, and Island attempted to stuff the attempt... this time, Island went down. Dimotroglu landed in guard, and immediately started dropping elbows onto his opponent!

Arnoldur Dimotroglu was dropping punches and elbows from guard, relentlessly hammering away at Island! Dimotroglu hurt Island with a big elbow to the temple, and postured up to land more shots! Island had no answers for the ground assault of Dimotroglu! The referee stepped in and stopped the fight after nearly a minute of continuous ground and pound from Arnoldur Dimotroglu, who will go on to fight for the light-heavyweight championship.

Our analyst stated, “Arnoldur Dimotroglu makes it two in a row within Bravado Productions, and continues his winning streak into seven consecutive victories with no defeats!”

And our color commenter responded, “Arnoldur is just such a terror on the ground; he's nearly impossible to shake off of you when he gets you down and starts dropping those elbows on you. What a nightmare opponent.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at one minute and fifty-five seconds of the very first round, declaring the winner by KNOCKOUT: Arnoldur Dimotroglu!”

(Welterweight Division) Tung Surano (0-1) (0-1 BP) versus Calvin Ricard (1-1) (0-0 BP)

Tung Surano is a Muay Thai stylist and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt from Bangkok, Thailand. Currently living in Las Vegas, Nevada, Tung trains at the Hybrid Fighting Academy.

Tung Surano made his professional debut at Bravado 4, where he fought a losing effort against Jarred Sullivan, ultimately dropping a unanimous decision to the man.

Calvin Ricard is a former amateur boxer from Manchester, England.

Locke would ultimately win the bout via first round TKO.

Beddo would make quick work of the aging jobber, knocking him out in under forty seconds.

In his second bout, Philo was given an epic mismatch against the former SFC light-heavyweight champion Akira Hendrix. Despite being a tremendous underdog in the fight, Beddo held his own, dominating the opening round with his boxing. In the second round, Hendrix regained his composure and began to turn the tides. In the third round, Philo seemed to be on his way to winning yet another round when he was caught by a left hook that put him on queer street.

(Welterweight Division) James Kicker (4-4) (0-1 BP) versus Hyman Krustofski (11-4) (0-1 BP)

James Kicker is a Greco Roman wrestling stylist from London, England. James competed during the fifth season of The Island, where he fought in the Rumble On The Rock promotion. Due to his brutal style of fighting, James became an early favorite in the young promotion. James Kicker knocked out Justin Credible, Kravmaga McGregor, and Burning Flame within the opening round to earn his shot at the championship.

At ROTR:sat, James challenged Teiden Ritari for the welterweight championship. After narrowly surviving a dicey first round, James Kicker was defeated in the second round, when the brutal power of the champion proved to be too much. An immediate rematch was booked for ROTR:tbd11, which took place four days later. Unfortunately for fans of Kicker, the second fight was a near exact replica of their first meeting.

After making an unsuccessful run in the Season 5 Finale Tournament, Kicker moved to the Mainland and signed with Bravado Productions. In his promotional debut, James was paired up with Muay Thai stylist and future welterweight champion Manny Pacquaio. The bout would ultimately be decided in the clinch, as Pacquaio smothered and battered the former ROTR title contender en route to a unanimous decision victory.

Hyman Krustofski, affectionately known as “Krusty” to his fans, is an Israeli Muay Thai stylist and mixed martial arts competitor. Hyman began training in martial arts at a young age to find a solace that was lacking in his personal life. Although his original goal was to become a world champion in Muay Thai, he soon transferred this dream to the world of mixed martial arts.

A competitor during the fifth season of The Island, Hyman fought for the Island FC promotion, defeating Thomas Kirkland via unanimous decision. Hyman would make short work of the Highland Island welterweight division en route to claiming the Championship via narrow majority decision. After defeating the former champion in an immediate rematch, Hyman would go on to compete in the finale tournament, where he faced Donald Trump (Note: not the presidential candidate that is afflicted with the occasional poor choice of words). Krusty would go on to defeat Trump in the opening round, solidifying his place as one of the top welterweight fighters to leave The Island.

In the second round of the tournament, Hyman was paired up with Tobious Khan, a heavy handed boxer. Hyman would go on to defeat Khan via unanimous decision after three rounds of action. In the third round of the tournament, Hyman was submitted late in the opening round by Lucio Gracie.

Following his tenure on The Island, Hyman was signed to Bravado Productions, as was Gracie. Krustofski asked for a rematch with the Jiu-Jitsu specialist; the bout took place at Bravado 4, with Gracie once again winning the fight via first round triangle choke.

http://mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20160830200232brav.jpg(Middleweight Division, Championship bout) Inferno Pandaa #3 (6-1) (1-0 BP) versus Reuben Kincaid #1 (7-0) (2-0 BP)

Inferno Pandaa is a former Muay Thai kick boxing champion, and, with his recent victory over Joyo Kumlakar, the linear Sovereignty light-heavyweight champion. Formerly fighting out of the Wolve's Den, Inferno has recently taken up a higher level of training when he signed on with the St Petersburg MMA Gym.

With his mixed martial arts career primarily taking place in Russia, Inferno Pandaa was a regular face in the regional scene, where he competed regularly for the smaller QFC level promotions. Inferno made his professional debut with a fight against Jiu-Jitsu specialist Kazbek Lermantov; after surviving a close opening round, Inferno went on to dominate the latter rounds en route to a decisive victory.

Inferno faced defeat for the first and only time in his professional career when he faced fellow kick boxing star Johnny Four. Both men would receive substantial damage during the course of the fight, but Johnny Four would walk away with the official victory according to the judges. Inferno, energized by this setback, returned to the cage with a vengeance; his opponent was world class Jiu-Jitsu fighter Artur Kaalshnikov. Engaging early in the clinch, Pandaa won the fight with brutal knees to the head and body of Kaalshnikov en route to an early stoppage victory.

Inferno would go on a lengthy winning streak, as his dominance inside the clinch became more prevalent. Inferno would tear through three straight opponents in Edin Hadizic, Draco Kevolle, and Logan August.

At Bravado 3, Inferno Pandaa faced off against the king of a dead division in Joyo Kumlakar, reigning champion of the defunct Sovereignty light-heavyweight division. Kumlakar's wrestling game would play absolutely zero part in the fight, as Pandaa dominated him in the clinch with brutal knees, battering the title bearer before finishing him just before the three minute mark of the fight. With this victory, Inferno Pandaa became the linear Sovereignty light-heavyweight champion. He will be looking to continue his dominance as he attempts to unify the championship glory against Reuben Kincaid.

Reuben Kincaid, known as “Agent Orange”, is a world class Muay Thai stylist that is undefeated in professional mixed martial arts. Originally a California native, Reuben has long since moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada in search of a higher level of martial arts training. Reuben Kincaid represents the 5 Star Spar Bazaar, an elite training facility.

Despite being considered a sizable prospect in the world of professional kick boxing, Reuben fell in love with the world of mixed martial arts. After taking time away to develop a ground game, Reuben signed up to compete in a local TWGC submission grappling competition, where he was submitted by Jiu-Jitsu brown belt and eventual tournament champion Hudson Oliveira.

Reuben made his mixed martial arts debut in the regional scene, taking on veteran MMA competitor Liam Christopher. After scoring with multiple turning side kicks, Reuben would land flush with a head kick. When Christopher went down, Reuben finished the bout with brutal ground and pound from mount. It was following this victory that Reuben Kincaid pulled up his roots and moved permanently to Montreal in search of real training.

Reuben returned to the sport in the Vale Tudo Fight Club, making his debut in the organization's premiere event. His opponent was 1-0 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt Zack Ferrera, who would find no success with his ground game against the well versed striker. After finishing Ferrera with a head kick, Reuben returned to the cage to face formidable wrestling sensation Joe Jobber. Despite his name, Jobber was a credible threat to the rising star that was Reuben Kincaid; despite this, Jobber wouldn't escape the opening minute, as Kincaid knocked him out with his patented head kick.

Reuben Kincaid would go on to defeat Boe Szyslak and Thomas Evans, finishing with strikes early. When the VTFC promotion closed its doors two weeks later, Reuben Kincaid was in the right place at the right time; Bravado Productions immediately scooped up the rising star, pitting him against Muay Thai standout BJ Penn at Bravado 1. Penn would find limited success against Kincaid in the clinch, but would soon succumb to the same head kick that had stopped so many before him.

In his most recent appearance, Reuben Kincaid faced the extremely durable Marcus Browne, who was fresh off of an incredible come from behind knockout victory over Adam Holt. After dominating Browne all throughout the opening round, Kincaid battered him in the clinch, before dropping him to the canvas with a big left hand to the temple. Kincaid followed Browne to the floor, and pushed the pace with elbows from half guard, forcing the stoppage late in the second round.

[The Prelims]

(Welterweight Division) Tung Surano versus Calvin Ricard

Round 1 – Veteran of Bravado 4 Tung Surano came into this bout with a sense of urgency behind him; he knew that the outcome of this fight could be pivotal to the success or failure of his career. For Calvin Ricard, this fight would represent his ability to sell himself on a larger stage; his lone victory coming into this match was a successful QFC bid.

Ricard came out and clinched immediately, but the crafty Surano turned him against the cage. Ricard reversed the position, pressing Surano against the cage instead. Surano attempted some knees from this position, but Ricard held him in place before breaking free of the clinch. As Surano came forward, Ricard pushed him against the cage again.

Surano attempted some short range punches with his back to the fence. Both fighters attempted to land knees, and Ricard finally pulled guard one minute into the round. Ricard attempted to control the position and sweep, but Surano passed into half guard. Ricard began to panic, and attempted to stand up; Surano attempted to pass into mount, and Ricard used the scramble that ensued to get back to his feet.

Ricard pushed forward with looping punches, and Surano side stepped the rush. Ricard landed a decent jab, and went wild with follow-up punches that missed. Surano took a deep breath, and Ricard cracked him with a one-two combination that dropped Surano! A bleeding Surano got back to his feet and attempted a desperation takedown. Ricard caught him coming in and pushed forward with a barrage of punches! Ricard had Surano trapped against the cage and was teeing off on him, until the referee stepped in to stop the fight!

Our analyst stated, “After making an unsuccessful bid to win in the big shows of VTFC, Calvin Ricard wins in his Bravado Productions debut here tonight!”

And our color commenter responded, “Although that finish was impressive, you really have to wonder what the game plan was for Calvin Ricard; he attempted to clinch and then immediately tried to get away from the clinch. He pulled guard and then began wasting energy trying to stand up. Sure, he got the finish, but his performance leading up to the TKO left a lot to be desired.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at three minutes and five seconds of the first round, declaring the winner by T-K-O: Calvin “The Heat” Ricard!”

(Light-heavyweight Division) Lawson Blackwood versus Jack Depree

Round 1 – In this bout, we had two fighters that had both found defeat in their mixed martial arts debut. The road to redemption, for one man, would start with this fight.

Lawson Blackwood opened with a lead left hand that opened a cut on the face of Jack Depree, who would leave himself open for a flicking jab, followed by a stiff body shot! Depree stepped back and took a deep breath! Blackwood ducked under, throwing an overhand right that cracked Jack Depree on the button and knocked him out cold!

Our analyst stated, “Lawson Blackwood, the wrestler, wins with a first round knock out!”

And our color commenter responded, “Whoa! Jack Depree showed a decent chin in his QFC debut, but he was nowhere near the level of Lawson Black, here tonight! You wanna talk about making a big statement with a win?”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at twelve seconds of the very first round, declaring the winner by KNOCK OUT: Lawson “Psycho” Blackwood!”

An out of breath and clearly excited Lawson Blackwood thanked his sponsor for their help and support (and free stuff they sent him).

(Heavyweight Division) Aaron Lee versus Charles Marlow

Round 1 – With two fighters making their professional debut here, expectations were low from the fans in attendance. However, they were treated to a spectacular first round finish! Aaron Lee came out swinging with jabs and right crosses, showing absolute disdain for the striking capabilities of Charles Marlow. Lee clinched up and started landing with punches to the head and body; Marlow attempted some knees from the Thai plumb, but Aaron Lee defended well.

At the 1:20 mark, Aaron Lee created some space and cracked Charles Marlow with an uppercut that put him down but not out! Marlow got back to his feet, but was badly hurt! Lee paused for a second before landing uppercut after uppercut to the face of Charles Marlow! Marlow finally went down, with Lee pouring on more strikes, forcing the referee to stop the match!

Our analyst stated, “Welcome to Bravado Productions, Aaron Lee!”

And our color commenter responded, “In his post-fight speech, Charles Marlow announced his retirement from professional fighting, and was promptly cut from the Bravado Productions roster. Meanwhile, Aaron Lee moves up the rankings, looking like a real killer.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at one minute and thirty-two seconds of the first round declaring the winner by TKO: Aaron Lee!”

(Super-heavyweight Division) Cristen Shaw versus Benjamin Baller

Round 1 – Cristen Shaw opened with a trip takedown into side control! Shaw attempted to pass into mount, but Baller slipped back into a full, closed guard. Baller worked for a triangle choke off of his back, and instead used the position to roll into half guard, on top. That was some slick Jiu-Jitsu from Baller. Suddenly it's Cristen Shaw working for a submission off of his back.

Baller passed into side control before landing some elbows! Baller moved into full mount! Shaw worked into half guard, but seemed to be fatigued badly by that point. Baller went to work with more ground and pound! Shaw regained full guard, but was still eating punches and elbows for his trouble!

Benjamin Baller passed back into side control, and finally into the coveted mount position! Cristen Shaw had absolutely no answer for this position, and Benjamin Baller poured on the ground and pound for the remainder of the round! The referee was taking a good, close look at the action, as though he was considering stopping it a few times in that last minute and a half.

Round 2 – Benjamin Baller scored a takedown of his own, landing in guard with a lot of time to work. Baller started dropping hammerfists on Shaw; they weren't doing a ton of damage, but they were keeping him from getting comfortable. Baller passed into side control at the 1:25 mark, and stalled from this position. Baller teased with a kimura attempt but passed into mount instead! With three minutes left on the clock, Benjamin Baller postured up and started dropping ground and pound! Shaw was simply trying to cover up and survive, so the referee finally stopped the fight!

Our analyst stated, “Benjamin Baller makes it two wins in a row via dominant TKO finish.”

And our color commenter responded, “This was always going to be a tough fight for a Jiu-Jitsu player. You would think that, of the two of them, Cristen Shaw would be the more offensive fighter off of his back; however, Benjamin Baller easily nullified anything that he would attempt on the ground and dominated when he got on top.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at three minutes and eighty-five seconds of the second round, declaring the winner by TKO: Benjamin “Bomb” Baller!”

(Heavyweight Division) Martin Biron versus Mario Scevola

Round 1 – Mario Scevola opened with a crisp shot to the body, followed by a right hand on the button. Biron attempted a double leg takedown, but Mario Scevola stuffed the attempt. Biron attempted to clinch, and Scevola cracked him with a straight right hand that stunned Biron! Scevola pushed forward with another big right hand and Biron went down, completely unconscious!

Our analyst stated, “Mario Scevola wins it by first round knockout!”

And our color commenter responded, “This was truly a case of a wrestler being too timid, too afraid to engage, and paying for it with his consciousness. Or, maybe Scevola is just that damn good- time will tell.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at twenty-eight seconds of the very first round, declaring the winner by KNOCK OUT: Mario Scevola!”

(Light-heavyweight Division) Shinsuke Harada versus Able Baker

Round 1 – Shinsuke Harada opened with a leg kick before clinching with Baker against the cage. In the clinch, Baker was the more aggressive of the two, landing constant punches to the body of Harada. Shinsuke Harada was firing back with shots, but was losing out in a battle of volume shots.

Harada ate a shot that grazed his eyebrow and opened a cut on his face. Shinsuke Harada attempted to keep pace with Baker, but ultimately lost this round.

Round 2 – Able Baker landed a right cross, avoided a body kick, and cracked Harada with a body shot and a looping left! Baker cracked Harada with another body shot before clinching up with him, pressing him against the cage. The offensive output of Shinsuke Harada had diminished to picking single shots that would miss. Sensing that his opponent was about to break, Able Baker pushed forward with more strikes! Three minutes into the round, Baker rocked Harada with a series of punches against the cage! Baker cracked him with more and more shots; as the damage began to accumulate, Harada's output slowed to nothing, and Baker went for the finish!

Shinsuke Harada went down and the referee jumped between them to stop the fight!

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at three minutes and twenty-nine seconds of round number two, declaring the winner by TKO: Able Baker!”

(Light-heavyweight Division) Alexander Gaia versus Mick Carter

Round 1 – Mick Carter attempted to clinch; Alexander Gaia attempted to circle away, but Carter stayed on him, pushing Gaia against the cage. Alexander Gaia performed takedown spamming, and Mick Carter stalled him against the cage for the better part of the first minute. Finally, Gaia secured the single leg takedown that he had been spamming out, and landed in the full guard of Mick Carter.

Mick Carter immediately locked in an armbar! Gaia fought the position, and almost looked to be escaping, but succumbed to the submission and tapped out!

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at one minute and twenty-two seconds of the first round, declaring the winner by tap out due to an Armbar: Mick “MC” Carter!”

(Light-heavyweight Division) Philo Beddo versus Petah Tosssh

Round 1 – Philo Beddo came out looking to tear Tosssh's head clean off; he was throwing punches in bunches, landing almost at will. Petah Tosssh was simply looking to clinch as quickly as possible, but was taking some punishment for his trouble. Around the 56 second mark, Tosssh clinched with Beddo against the cage, and went to work, attempting a takedown. Beddo was landing punches against the cage as well. The fighters separated, briefly, and Tosssh clinched him up again.

In all aspects of the fight, Phil Beddo was dominant in this round.

Round 2 – Tosssh clinched immediately, broke the clinch, clinched again, and this time Beddo broke the clinch. Philo Beddo was landing more punches against Tosssh, who continued trying to play the clinch game- despite the fact that he was taking punishment there, as well.

At the 2:55 mark, Philo Beddo scored a double leg takedown into half guard. Tosssh attempted to to sweep, attempted to escape, but Beddo held the position and started working ground and pound while attempting to pass the half guard.

Philo Beddo closed out this round in half guard, dropping bombs on Tosssh.

Round 3 – Tosssh upped the pace in this round, knowing that he had to finish the fight to win it. However, Philo Beddo remained dominant against him in all aspects of the fight. This fight was an absolutely one sided domination for Philo Beddo, who made an impressive promotional debut here.

“After three rounds of action we go to the judges scorecards for a decision. All three judges score this bout 30-27 for the winner by unanimous decision: Philo “Cowboy” Beddo!”

(Welterweight Division) James Kicker versus Hyman Krustofski

Round 1 – James Kicker walked out to the Kiss Kickers '99 track, theme song to the movie Hobgoblins. Meanwhile, Hyman Krustofski picked Shell Shocked, the theme song of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. I didn't even know they had a theme song.

James Kicker came out swinging for the fences, but wasn't hitting anything. Krustofski, timing the shots, kept his distance effectively, and landed some jabs to keep Kicker at bay. Kicker threw a looping right hand that missed by a mile.

Kicker attempted a jab, but mostly just pawed at air. Krustofski landed a one-two combination down the middle! Kicker went down, and Krustofski backed off and waved him back to his feet. Krustofski pushed forward now, landing a jab to the body, followed by a left hook that knocked Kicker out cold!

Our analyst stated, “After dropping two consecutive fights in a row, Hyman Krustofski rebounds with a knockout here tonight!”

And our color commenter responded, “Krusty snapped his losing streak, but James Kicker extends his to a whopping five consecutive defeats in a row, including a unanimous decision loss to reigning welterweight champion Manny Pacquaio at Bravado 4.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at fifty seconds of the very first round, declaring the winner by KNOCK OUT: Hyman “Krusty” Krustofski!”

Round 1 – Inferno Pandaa was all business in the build-up to this fight; he had been waiting a long time to get here. Using the default entrance music, Inferno Pandaa made his way to the cage with a steely-eyed expression on his face. Reuben Kincaid ran to the cage to the REM tune Orange Crush.

After a quick touch of gloves, we were underway! Reuben Kincaid landed a stiff leg kick, and Pandaa attempted to clinch right away. Kincaid slipped free and landed a body shot for good measure. Kincaid attempted a body kick, but Pandaa avoided it.

Inferno Pandaa began looking a bit desperate, as he began to spam clinch attempts. Reuben Kincaid avoided these attempts with ease, and landed a jab and some kicks to the body from the outside. Another jab from Kincaid landed, and there appeared to be some blood coming from the nose of Inferno Pandaa.

Kincaid landed an uppercut and Pandaa went down! Reuben Kincaid jumped into guard, where he is excellent. Reuben Kincaid attempted some ground and pound, but Inferno Pandaa showed some excellent control in avoiding the shots. After a minute of inactivity from both fighters, the referee stood them back up for one more go on the feet. Pandaa attempted to clinch and ran into a body kick from Kincaid.

As you may be able to ascertain from viewing our top ten rankings, simply fighting is enough to get placed within the "top ten", as the public rankings does not register any fighters that have yet to compete within the company. This is why Mark Wahlberg is one of the top heavyweights in the history of the company, but has yet to be placed on this list.

September 10, 2016

In a move that shocked the MMA world, the Las Vegas based fight promotion, Bravado Productions, unveiled a new stipulation in their contract policy that impacted several top ranked fighters. The amendment, which took began taking effect on 9/9/2016, stipulated that managers found to be running multiple accounts simultaneously would be removed from the roster at the earliest possible opportunity.

The biggest name that was impacted by the new rule was light-heavyweight top contender Mikedmondson Edmondson, who was in line for a shot at the 205 lb championship, and was expected to face Arnoldur Dimotroglu for the title. Other fighters impacted included Mikhailu Bannister, another light-heavyweight, and Cristen Shaw, a super-heavyweight.

---

When it was found that the management team representing Mikedmondson Edmondson was running not two, not three, but SEVEN simultaneous accounts, which included both Edmondson and Bannister, the Bravado team took action immediately. Meanwhile, Cristen Shaw's management was found to be running four, possibly five accounts at the same time.

Managers that cheat the system by running multiple accounts do so in an effort to receive an unfair advantage against their fellow Tycooners. More often than not, they suffer the consequence of having their accounts deleted and their funds revoked, and have even lost donated VIP time as a result of their poor decisions.

Since its inception, Bravado Productions has advocated against fight organizations and promoters that take advantage of fighters, both through problematic matchmaking, and through draconian style contracts that allow the company to effectively hold the fighter hostage. This new move is believed to be the organization taking a public stance against cheating managers, which has plagued the Tycooniverse for years.

As a side hobby, Bravado Productions president Marcus Whitman has taken up the studying of popular username trends, which he collects on a public forum post, while encouraging others to share their findings. For more information, click here.

Bravado 9: Kitano vs Gracie is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by Bravado Productions, in conjunction with the Kore Fight Nutrition [TG], Bravado Entertainment, and Sin City Bookies. This event will take place on September 11, 2016 at Hayashi's Lounge in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Bravado 9: Kitano vs Gracie – Official Preview

[Preface]

On September 11^th, 2001, a group of cowards executed a devastating attack against The United States of America. Everybody that was alive on that day remembers exactly where they were, and what they were doing when they learned of the tragedy. I remember my father waking me up and showing me the news coverage; I didn't understand the scale of what I was watching. I, along with everybody else in the world, had no idea if I was watching a terrible accident or a dastardly attack. Part of me remembers being late for school and missing gym class because I didn't want to leave the television. A much larger part of me remembers seeing the firefighters pouring into that second tower, moments after the first one fell; these men knew that they had minutes at best, but they still climbed those hundreds of stories.

Having lived in Long Island, New York, and having known people directly impacted by 9/11, I fully accept that I cannot grasp the pain that they experience every year around this time. It's truly a small thing, paying homage to those who were stolen from us, but I would be remiss if I didn't take a moment from writing a fictional news article about MMA fighters to pay my respects.

Jack Quinn is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner that holds a brown belt in the art. A lifelong resident of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Jack trains at the Canadian Dragon MMA gym.

Jack made his MMA debut in a middleweight QFC tournament, where he was defeated in the first level of the competition by brown belt submission ace Larith Shun. After submitting Quach Minh with a first round guillotine choke, Jack was stopped by heavy handed Muay Thai phenom Barry Benson, who would go on to retire undefeated after a short career.

Following this loss, Jack fought out a single fight contract with the Vale Tudo Fight Club, submitting Boe Szyslak with a first round armbar.

Lonnie Kain is a pugilism specialist and Jiu-Jitsu purple belt; what he lacks in wrestling ability, he more than makes up for by having heavy hands.

Undefeated across four fights in his MMA career, Lonnie has fought exclusively within the regional QFC arena thus far. In his MMA debut, he faced Jiu-Jitsu blue belt Moses Sparks; after scoring a first second flash knockdown, Kain pushed forward, knocking Sparks out with a twenty-four second barrage of punches.

Next, Kain was paired up with Muay Thai standout Wilburn Hendrix; after escaping from a pair of takedowns, Kain finished the bout with a barrage of punches and elbows against the cage. After making short work of Broderick Rasmussen, Lonnie Kain faced Muay Thai striker Levi Sertho. This would prove to be the toughest fight of Kain's career. Despite going the distance for the first and only time, Kain would go on to win all three rounds in a respectable fashion en route to a unanimous decision victory.

Richard Kenvinchen is a former amateur boxer from Queens, New York, where he trains out of the NYC Alpha public MMA gym.

Like his opponent, Richard has gone undefeated across a short career that has taken place strictly within the regional QFC arena. Wthin two appearances, Richard has fought BJJ blue belt submission fighters Dennis Moss and Jewell Carrillo, winning both bouts via unanimous decision.

http://i.imgur.com/HaOw3BV.jpg

(Heavyweight Division) Sendou Kitano (5-3) (0-0 BP) versus Rail Gracie (4-1) (0-0 BP)

Sendou “Kenshi” Kitano is a world class boxing stylist from Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. Sendou currently lives and trains out of London, England, where he trains out of the private Forest Hill Gym. Sendou Kitano will be representing the fighting alliance known as La Familia as he steps into the cage.

Sendou Kitano made his mixed martial arts debut at RSF 7 in St Petersberg, Russia, where he faced local brawler and heavy handed fan favorite Ivan Osgard, who was a veteran of seven fights at the time of their meeting. Fresh off of a failed bid for the super-heavyweight championship, Osgard came out swinging against Kitano, hurting him with punches early into the fight, before securing the TKO finish with six seconds remaining in the opening round.

Following this loss, Sendou returned home to Tokyo, Japan, where he signed a two fight contract with the Pulse Fighting Championship (PFC). At PFC 12, Sendou faced freestyle fighter Jose Rodri, a veteran of thirteen fights with only two victories. The bout served as little more than a confidence booster for Kitano, who would take home the knockout victory just nine seconds into the first round. After besting local jobber Egil Wiik with a twelve second knockout, Sendou was left in an unfavorable position. You're only as dominant as your last performance, which for Sendou was two wins over a pair of fighters that were on lengthy losing streaks.

Sendou Kitano wanted to prove that he could hang in there with the best in the world, so he left his homeland in search of a higher level of competition. His travels brought him to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he fought a one-off fight for the King of the Beach promotion. At KOTB 39, Sendou was paired up with formidable wrestler Roy “The Hammer” Du Toit; after dropping Du Toit two times in the opening thirty seconds, Kitano put the grappler out of the fight with a right hand on the button. In his victory speech, Kitano called for a rematch with Ivan Ogard, the only man to best him in MMA.

After taking to the public forum and pleading his case for a rematch, Ogard took notice and accepted the call-out. Ivan Ogard, who had been competing in the Hardcore Fighting Championship, wanted the bout to once again take place in his home town of St Petersberg, Russia; Kitano obliged his request.

In the build-up to the actual fight, Ogard cited their relevant fighting experience as evidence that he was the vastly superior fighter. The fans agreed, with betting odds putting Kitano as low as a 4-1 underdog in the rematch. Kitano v Ogard II started with a bang: Kitano landed heavy shots to the body, which prompted Ogard to leave his chin exposed in favor of protecting his liver. Kitano capitalized, landing one more left hook to the midsection before coming over the top with three consecutive punches that put the former title hopeful out cold. In one fell swoop, Sendou Kitano had avenged the only loss in his career, and won the biggest fight of his life.

Following the Ogard rematch, Sendou Kitano seemingly vanished from the MMA scene for some time, citing personal reasons, as well as a desire to improve his all around game before returning to the cage. Out of the blue, an online news source reported that Kitano had been seen having lunch with the president of the Primal Combat fight promotion of New York. Although he denied that he was returning to the cage, two weeks later it was announced that he had signed an exclusive three fight contract with the promotion.

Kitano made his promotional debut at Primal 26, taking on elite grappling phenom James Marley. Although Kitano would survive the early takedown of Marley, he would suffer a knockdown midway through the second, and would spend the remainder of the round defending an armbar attempt. In the third round, Marley would race ahead on the scorecards with his wrestling, becoming the only man to go the distance with Kitano.

Next, Sendou faced heavy handed slugger Robert Diggs, who has never been finished in professional combat. The entirety of the fight would be a brutal, bloody slug fest, with Kitano receiving serious lacerations from the gloves of Diggs. Throughout the fight, Diggs pulled ahead of Kitano by mixing takedowns and ground n pound along with heavy punches on the feet. In the end, the doctors would stop the contest due to the profuse bleeding of Kitano.

In what would be his final fight with Primal Combat, Sendou Kitano faced powerhouse wrestler Helbjorn Fjordsson. In the match, Fjordsson would opt to stand and trade punches with the striker, ignoring any wrestling advantage that he may have brought into the cage with him. Although he was scoring more frequently, Fjordsson became the fifth man in eight fights to fall before Sendou Kitano, going down from a lead uppercut.

Rail Gracie is a Greco Roman wrestler that has adapted his style to include a formidable Muay Thai striking game as well. Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, Rail Gracie is a resident of Los Angeles, California, although he trains out of the Golden Child Gym in Sydney, Australia.

Rail Gracie started his mixed martial arts career in the QFC arena, under the tutelage of veteran fight manager Mr Gutz. His opponent was Melchizedek Halo, a notorious kick boxer. Gracie controlled the opening moments of the bout with his wrestling, but was hurt by a combination from Halo, sending him spiraling to the mat. Putting his determination on full display, Gracie climbed to his feet, nodded, and came out swinging with the slugger, surviving the round. Moments into the second round, Halo dropped him once more with a one-two combination, this time dropping into mount on top to secure a finish that wouldn't come. However, in the final round, Gracie went down on a head kick- this time, he stayed down.

After parting ways with Mr Gutz, Rail Gracie signed with Chris Karter, a famous manager with a wealth of knowledge. Under his instruction, Gracie returned to the QFC arena to face catch wrestler Javier Arroyo. Gracie dominated the opening round of this bout in the clinch, battering Arroyo with strikes against the cage. After the two fighters separated, Gracie dropped Arroyo with a right hand, finishing the bout early in the second round with a wild flurry of punches.

Next, Gracie faced dominant wrestler Orion Cook, a 50 year old veteran of forty-six fights at the time of their meeting. The bout would largely be a kick boxing match; out of nowhere, Gracie knocked Cook out cold with a flying knee!

In a twist of fate, Rail Gracie once again faced Javier Arroyo. Gracie once again hurt Arroyo early with a right hand, before finishing the bout with a monster head kick to bring home the knock out. Following the rematch with Arroyo, Gracie would part ways with Karter, signing instead with Leslie Smith.

In his most recent fight, Rail Gracie faced Jiu-Jitsu purple belt and renowned submission ace Jabari Jelani, who was a veteran of seventy-one fights already. Although the bout would repeatedly go to the ground in the opening minutes of the fight, Gracie would remain in the dominant position throughout the round. The second round would be a bit more back-and-forth, with Jelani having his moments here and there due to his wrestling pedigree, but the third and final round was all Gracie, who dominated inside the clinch.

September 12, 2016

Manager's Note: God that fight was schizophrenic. Looks like his clinch/outside slider got reset somehow (aka I fucked up with the mobile client), so he was both trying to get into the clinch and then immediately trying to escape it. No idea how I walked away with that win. Especially with a unanimous 27-30.

Went and watched the tape, and I have to give some props to my opponent, it was a hard fought battle, and I'm looking forward to the next one. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to see a doctor about this wrist, I'm 90% sure it's not supposed to bend that way. Also manager says I'm not supposed to drink heavily after that last incident, but fuck him, it's party time!"

[The Prelims]

http://i.imgur.com/2aUOCXe.jpg

(Welterweight Division) Ronny Baaghi versus John Doe

Round 1 – John Doe opened the first fight of the night with a wild combination that hit nothing but arms and air, and Baaghi cracked him with a glancing uppercut at the end. John Doe wiped the blood away from his eye and shot in for a takedown, but it was stuffed by Ronny Baaghi. Baaghi attempted a body shot, but Doe slipped the punch and landed a right hand to the solar plexus of Baaghi.

Ronny attempted a left hook, Doe slipped the punch and landed a hook of his own! Doe landed a one-two down the middle, and Baaghi fired back with a right hand that dropped John Doe to the floor! John Doe escaped to his feet and tied Baaghi up, clinching with him against the cage. Both fighters fired off some punches against the cage, but John Doe landed the harder shots from this position.

Round 2 – Baaghi attempted to circle away, but Doe clinched him up against the cage again. Doe, seemingly winded, was looking to control the position, and Baaghi was landing some shots on the inside. Baaghi broke the clinch and Doe cracked him with a right hand on the button!

John Doe picked up the pace, striking aggressively with Baaghi here, before shooting in for a double leg takedown, landing in guard. Ronny Baaghi did little to defend himself as Doe pounded on him with hammer fists. John Doe passed the guard, landing in mount! John Doe slowed down the action, landing just enough ground and pound to not get stood up.

Round 3 – A few punching exchanges went nowhere, and Doe attempted another double leg takedown. Doe landed a few solid punches, and Baaghi responded with a right hand. Doe landed again and again before clinching with Baaghi; after some failed striking against the cage, Doe circled away.

Both fighters were finding very limited success in the striking exchanges in this round, although both had their moments. With one minute left on the clock, John Doe clinched with Baaghi once last time, landing a few uppercuts, before going for one final takedown attempt that didn't land.

Our analyst stated, “John Doe finds success in his professional debut!”

And our color commenter responded, “It was an ugly fight, but John Doe did exactly what he had to do to win; he was hurt badly in that opening round, but he kept up with the pressure, and mixed in grappling to keep Ronny Baaghi from settling.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, after three rounds of action we go to the judges scorecards for a decision. The judges score this bout 30-28, 29-28, and 30-27 for the winner by unanimous decision: John “The Unknown” Doe!”

(Welterweight Division) Alistair Sangster versus Ken Womack

Round 1 – Ken Womack opened with a leg kick, followed by a stiff jab. Womack landed a few more shots, before missing with a body shot- Sangster immediately launched into a counter-right that landed. Sangster was looking a bit too willing to lay back and eat shots while looking for an opening, but after getting tagged by a right-left combo, Sangster started to open up a bit.

Womack clinched to slow the aggression of Sangster, and went to work with dirty boxing as Sangster simply tried repeatedly, struggling like a mad man, to escape the clinch. Womack pressed the action, hammering Sangster again and again against the cage before dropping him with an uppercut and finishing him with ground and pound against the cage! The referee finally stepped in to stop the fight.

Our analyst stated, “Ken Womack has ended his two-fight losing streak, here tonight!”

And our color commenter responded, “And Alistair Sangster gave a speech that sounded an awful lot like he is retiring from professional MMA. It's tough, because you know he has dedicated a large portion of his life and finances to training, but his chin just isn't holding up against the level of competition that he is facing.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at two minutes and fifty-four seconds of the first round, declaring the winner by TKO: Ken Womack!”

(Light-heavyweight Division) Dillon Weber versus Ray Jay Ray

Round 1 – Dillon Weber landed a one-two combination right off the bat, and Jay Ray shot in for a double leg takedown, landing in guard. Weber fought diligently to escape the position, not using any real technique, instead just trying to muscle his way to freedom. After about a minute of inactivity from Jay Ray, the referee stood them back up.

After a striking exchange in which both guys came out unscathed, Weber attempted to clinch. Both guys landed some shots, and Weber stepped back to take a deep breath. Jay Ray clinched him up against the cage, and landed some hard body shots. Jay Ray scored a takedown into side control! Weber fought, as usual, without style, to get back to his feet, and finally the referee obliged his desires. Jay Ray immediately scored another takedown, in which he spent a minute laying in half guard before being stood back up. Weber came out swinging from the standup, and Jay Ray gave him an Arlen Slap for his troubles.

Round 2 – Jay Ray attempted a leg kick, but it was checked by Weber. Jay Ray fired off with a combination attempt down the middle, but Weber slipped to the side. Jay Ray fired a one-two combination that dropped Weber onto his back! Jay Ray jumped on him, landing shots from mount! Weber tried to stand back up as usual, and Jay Ray swarmed him with heavy shots until the referee stopped the fight!

Our analyst stated, “As Dillon Weber's corner consoles him on the eve of his second consecutive defeat within Bravado Productions, Ray Jay Ray celebrates his successful professional debut atop the cage!”

And our color commenter responded, “Here's the truth about fighters that train at Cozad's MMA: they're doomed to failure. For however long Bravado Productions is in business, no champion will ever be a student of Cozad's MMA, ever. Here's why: Cozad's has hundreds of students, with fifty or more clambering for attention from the two or three coaches that they offer, and so NOBODY gets effective training. Think of a life boat trying to save people on the Titanic, but the life boat only has enough room for one or two people. Every extra person past that point sinks the boat lower and lower into the water until nobody is okay. That's Cozad's MMA... three hundred idiots fighting for a seat on a sinking life boat.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at thirteen seconds of round number two, declaring the winner by TKO: Ray “Betta Not Call Me Johnson” Jay Ray!”

The color commenter stated, “Not gonna lie, I kind of miss the old nickname better, Ray.”

(Welterweight Division) Sthupha Herrie versus Charlie Delta

Round 1 – Herrie opened with a head kick that connected on the side of Delta's head! Charlie Delta took it in stride and kept moving. Herrie flopped a takedown attempt and landed a body shot upon resetting in the center of the cage. Charlie Delta finally showed a sign of life when he clinched with Herrie, but he immediately released the position.

Herrie started landing strikes, almost at will: leg kick, high kick, body shot. Charlie Delta tried to fire back with a punch but Herrie stuffed it. Having stuffed three takedown attempts from Herrie, Delta turned the tables when he scored with a double leg takedown into guard. Herrie attempted to force a standup and, during the scramble, Delta passed into side control.

Charlie Delta started dropping elbows from side control, and Herrie began struggling to get back to his feet once again. Near the end of the round, Delta began cranking on an Americana submission; Herrie defended the position, got comfortable upon hearing the clappers, which announced the round was coming to a close, and didn't react in time as Charlie Delta rolled for an armbar! With seconds remaining in the round, Sthupha Herrie tapped out!

Our analyst stated, “Charlie Delta wins in his professional debut!”

And our color commenter responded, “And, unfortunately, Sthupha's management has gone missing, so Herrie was released from his contract immediately following the fight. Bravado Productions is currently releasing inactive or incapable fighters left and right, and Herrie fit the mold perfectly.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at four minutes and fifty-six seconds of the first round, declaring the winner by tap out due to an armbar: Charlie “The Dude” Delta!”

(Middleweight Division) Adrian Puchacki versus Bill Brown

Round 1 – Puchacki immediately attempted to clinch, but Bill Brown avoided the attempt. As Brown came in, looking to clinch as well, Puchacki tied him up against the cage. Bill Brown immediately attempted to jump guard, so Puchacki released the position and circled away, wanting none of the ground game of the purple belt.

The two fighters circled for a moment, with both attempting to bull rush the other into the cage; Brown shot in for a double leg takedown, which landed him in guard. Puchacki started slapping Brown in the face from his back, and Bill Brown rolled for the fight ending kneebar, which brought immediate submission.

Our analyst stated, “Bill Brown has come back from the jaws of defeat to secure the finish!”

And our color commenter responded, “And Puchacki falls victim to the same cause of termination as Sthupha Herrie- inactivity.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at fifty-five seconds of the very first round, declaring the winner by submission due to a kneebar: Bill “The Marine” Brown!”

(Heavyweight Division) Jimmy Page versus Adnan Boutrous

Round 1 – Adnan Boutrous came out swinging for the fences straight out of the gate; Jimmy Page attempted to clinch multiple times, but Boutrous would back pedal and crack him with a big right hand, keeping Page at bay. This opening round belonged to “The Anvil”, who displayed vastly superior boxing and distance control.

Round 2 – Boutrous went back to work, landing punch after punch without fail; Page did manage to land a decent body shot, but immediately returned to failed clinch attempts, while eating right hands. At the two minute mark, Jimmy Page obtained his long awaited clinch position, and went to work with punches against the cage. Boutrous seemed completely helpless from this position, until he managed to break free and return to the center of the cage, where he made Page pay for every shot landed.

Round 3 – Jimmy Page pushed forward more frequently in this round, looking to clinch, but he was far too slow to keep pace with Boutrous, and he paid for it dearly with every landed punch. By the end of this round, a clearly frustrated Jimmy Page was actually chasing Adnan Boutrous around the cage, and getting teed off on.

Our analyst stated, “Adnan Boutrous wins in his promotional debut, and then immediately parts ways with his management team.”

And our color commenter responded, “Yeah, it's hard to be taken seriously as a legitimate threat to the division when you can hit a guy dozens of times without finishing him. Adnan Boutrous is obviously a very skilled fighter, but he lacked any real stopping power or killer instinct in there.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, after three rounds of action we go to the judges scorecards for a decision. All three judges score the bout 30-27 for the winner by unanimous decision: Adnan “The Anvil” Boutrous!”

(Middleweight Division) Tom The Brit versus Willie Glee

Round 1 – Willie Glee opened with a failed shot to the body, and ate a slapping right hand from the light-footed Brit. Tom The Brit was cracking Glee with straight punches down the middle, and darting out of range before he could be struck back. Willie Glee landed a counter-takedown into side control at the one minute mark! Content to remain in this position, Willie Glee worked short ground and pound for several minutes before the referee stood them back up. After a pair failed exchanges, Glee scored a takedown into guard, but The Brit bounced back to his feet with ease.

With ten seconds left on the clock, Willie Glee pushed forward with loose, sloppy punches that were never going to land. Glee landed a decent leg kick as the round ended.

Round 2 – The first thirty seconds of this round saw The Brit looking to grapple at all costs. A pair of punching exchanges saw both men get tagged repeatedly. After eating a few unanswered punches, Glee scored a double leg takedown into guard. Glee simply held on, stalling out the majority of the round without attempting much. The referee stood them back up, and a sloppy brawl ensued with neither man landing many shots. Tom The Brit started landing around the four minute mark, and Glee stopped punching again. With thirty seconds left in the round, Willie Glee scored another counter-takedown into side control. Glee simply held on once more, stalling out the time remaining in the second round.

Round 3 – Tom The Brit pushed forward from the get-go this round, landing jabs to the head and body. Glee shot for a takedown, landing in guard, and began dropping ground and pound on The Brit. Between rounds, Glee's corner informed him that he needed to finish. One minute in, The Brit executed a picture perfect sweep to get into guard on top! Glee immediately used the cage to escape to his feet.

Willie Glee attempted another double leg takedown, blocked some punches from The Brit, and landed a right hand on the button. Glee shot in for a takedown, flopped it, and countered a failed punch from The Brit, scoring a takedown int side control!

Willie Glee spent the better part of two minutes controlling from this position before going to work with ground and pound from side control. Hammerfists and elbows, Willie Glee was looking to finish here, but he ran out of time.

Our analyst stated, “Tom The Brit wins in his promotional debut!”

And our color commenter responded, “This loss puts Willie Glee in a very tough position; for the first time in his career, he is sitting on back-to-back losses. He is struggling to overcome guys that are coming off of their pro debut, and his style doesn't seem to be very conductive towards a lengthy and successful career.

Look, I'm a huge fan of wrestlers that learn to strike, are great at clinch fighting, and have wicked ground and pound. I love that style; however, Willie Glee is an example of how a lower level fighter can struggle because he doesn't specialize in any one style. You need to specialize in one thing when you're a 25 year old fighter that is just getting into MMA.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, after three rounds of action, we go to the judges scorecard for a decision.

Judge Robert Twigg scores the bout 29-28 for Tom The Brit!

Judge Chris Downing scores the bout 29-28 for Willie Glee!

And judge Alan Glass scores the bout 29-28 for the winner by split decision: Tom “Hiddleswift” The Brit!”

(Middleweight Division) Jack Quinn versus Justin James

Round 1 – Justin James started this fight out landing the jab. After missing with a lunging left hook, Jack Quinn scored a double leg takedown, landing in the guard of Justin James! Jack Quinn immediately rolled for a leg lock of some sort, but gave up the endeavor, opting to return to guard instead. Quinn, taking a page out of Glee's book, began stalling from guard on top, only landing enough punches to maintain the position.

One minute in, Quinn attempted to pass the guard, but James defended well. Quinn landed some shots, and used the distraction to sneak into half guard! Quinn passed into full mount and immediately began spamming submissions; first an arm triangle choke, then a kimura, then back to the arm triangle. As the final seconds slipped by, Quinn cranked on a kimura that James carefully defended.

Round 2 – Justin James opened with a decent left to the body, followed by a right upstairs. James attempted a wild combination, and Quinn ducked under the punches, scoring a double leg takedown into guard once more. This time, Jack Quinn began dropping bombs on James from the top position. Quinn passed into half guard, and began fighting for a kimura once again. After passing to mount, Quinn slipped back into side control, working on an arm triangle, then a kimura, and finally he cranked on a fight ending Americana, which forced the tap.

Our analyst stated, “Jack Quinn wins the fight!”

And our color commenter responded, “This was a picture perfect fight for Jack Quinn, who was able to do everything that he wanted to do. Justin James is a talented kid, but he wasn't able to keep Quinn off of him for even a second.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at three minutes and fifty-eight seconds of round number two, declaring the winner by tap out due to an Americana: Jack Quinn!”

In defeat, Justin James stepped up to the mic, saying 'Well, ya know sometimes you just have to accept your loses and move on. It was definitely a great fight. But, at the end of the day it's the best fighter at the time wins and tonight based on the results my opponent was the better fighter.'.

(Heavyweight Division) Lonnie Kain versus Richard Kenvinchen

Round 1 – Lonnie Kain walked out to the default arena theme music, disrobed, and stepped into the arena, all business. Richard Kenvinchen walked out to Billy Joel's song: Still Rock n Roll To Me.

This fight was... well, Kenvinchen spent the entire opening round clinching and breaking free of the clinch, over and over, while Lonnie Kain swung for the fences and shot for takedowns. At the 3:20 mark, Kenvinchen pulled guard from the clinched position, and both men fought for submissions. Kenvinchen reversed to the guard position on top, and landed some ground and pound before the round ended.

Round 2 – A near replica of the opening round, Kenvinchen clinched and released to his heart's desire. Around the two minute mark, both men traded punches in the center of the ring, with Kenvinchen throwing heavy combinations that were mostly hitting air. Kenvinchen stepped away to take a deep breath, and Kain pushed forward with punches, capping it off with a failed takedown attempt. Kenvinchen returned to clinch-and-release spamming before pulling guard once more, and escaping from the grounded position.

The remainder of the round was a repeat of the rest of the fight: clinch, break clinch, clinch, break clinch. This is the type of fight that I love to review, haha.

Round 3 – Kain landed some heavy shots to start this round, and Kenvinchen came back with a three punch combination! After clinching and releasing immediately, Kenvinchen shot in for a takedown and ate a jab for his trouble. Kain landed more shots, and Kenvinchen clinched him up again. Both men attempted takedowns against the cage, and Kenvinchen returned to his clinch and release strategy for the remainder of the fight. At the 5:59 mark, Kain landed a big three punch combination that appeared to stagger Kenvinchen! The round ended however.

The commenting team was not available to discuss this fight.

“Ladies and gentlemen, after three rounds of action we go to the judges scorecards for a decision. All three judges score the bout 30-27 for the winner by unanimous decision: Richard Kenvinchen!”

[before the fighters walked out for the main event, the in-house announcer walked to the middle of the ring and said, “Fifteen years ago, a group of cowards attacked The United States of America, killing thousands of innocent men and women. Before we get on with the main event, we here at Bravado Productions would like to dedicate this night to those that were killed in the attacks, those heroes that sacrificed their lives to save even one person from the towers, and those that continue to put their lives on the line to protect this country.”

After requesting a moment of silence, in which not a word was spoken in the arena, the show continued on as planned.]

(Heavyweight Division) Sendou Kitano versus Rail Gracie

Round 1 – Sendou Kitano walked to the arena accompanied by the Yoshida Brothers song, Ibuki; Rail Gracie, meanwhile, sprinted to the cage to the tunes of the default arena music. After an intense staredown in the middle of the ring, and a touch of gloves, this fight started with a wild punching exchange! Gracie attempted a double leg takedown, but Kitano stuffed it. Kitano was swinging wild, and Gracie was looking to set up a counter. Kitano countered a failed takedown attempt by clinching and releasing, and part of my brain went numb immediately.

Kitano threw a sloppy punch, and Gracie responded with a crisp counter-kick to the midsection. Kitano darted forward with punches, and Gracie almost fell down in the attempt of a counter-head kick. One minute in, Kitano clinched; both men landed with punches on the inside, and Kitano broke free from the clinch.

After a few wild striking exchanges, in which neither man landed anything of consequence, Gracie pushed Kitano against the cage. Both men were landing some shots, and Kitano defended a single leg takedown attempt from Gracie before breaking free of the clinch.

Kitano pushed the pace with two minutes remaining in the round, landing some one-twos, and Gracie scored a last minute takedown into half guard! Gracie simply laid in the position until the round ended.

Round 2 – Gracie pushed forward, looking to clinch, and Kitano started swinging wildly, looking for the home run hit. A brief punching exchange ensued. A solid minute of kick boxing followed, with neither man even considering grappling. Surprisingly, Gracie was holding his own in these striking exchanges. Gracie clinched, and attempted to score a takedown, but Kitano stuffed it. As they broke apart once more, Gracie took a deep breath and glanced at the clock.

As Rail Gracie began to slow and tire, Kitano upped the pace with his wild strikes, including a crisp head kick that backed Gracie off in a big way.

Round 3 – Sendou Kitano was looking for the finish in this round, landing big punches on a fading Gracie! Kitano landed a spinning back fist, and some big right hands. After absorbing a leg kick, Gracie clinched up with Kitano. Neither man really landed anything against the cage, and Gracie broke free of the position. Kitano began to noticeably tire, and a slow paced slug fest ensued in the center of the ring. Gracie cracked Kitano with a right hand that buckled his knees momentarily, and opened a cut over his eye, and Kitano fired back with some right hands of his own! The last minute of this round was all Kitano, as Gracie resorted to merely defending against the cage. The round blissfully ended and both fighters stood with their hands on their knees; Gracie nearly took to the three point stance as he attempted to stand back up.

Our analyst stated, “Sendou Kitano wins a tough and grueling war!”

And our color commenter responded, “The last round of this fight was madness! Both guys were so tired that they could barely cover their faces. Despite having a clear edge on the feet, Kitano was getting lit up by the wild hay makers of Rail Gracie, who couldn't be bothered to catch incoming blows with anything but his chin.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, after three rounds we go to the scorecards for a decision. All three judges score this bout 30-27 for the winner by unanimous decision: Sendou “Kenshi” Kitano!”

Sendou Kitano made sure to give a little speech post fight, saying 'I am so happy to continue winning like my early days. One day I'll bring the belt back to Shibuya! '.

In defeat, Rail Gracie stepped up to the mic, saying 'What the fuck I paid all of y'all for!?!?'.

I can only imagine what that clinch and release fight looked like in person. Like Richard was trying to fucking hump Lonnie like some kind of brain damaged stray dog.

Remember to double check your sliders people!

After Action Report

We've had some updates to the top ten rankings:

Welterweight – 170 lbs

Champion: Manny Pacquaio (2-0)

History: Making his pro debut during the fifth season of The Island, Manny Pacquaio established himself as a top contender during his tenure with the Rumble On The Rock: The Island promotion. Following his return to the main land, Manny was quickly signed to Bravado Productions; he quickly made a name for himself with a domination over James Kicker. However, the young Muay Thai striker from The Philippines truly solidified himself as a top talent when he defeated Jonath Masvidal in a back-and-forth brawl to win the welterweight championship.

1 – Lucio Gracie (1-0)

2 – Bonerz McGee (1-0)

3 – Mladen Tomasevic (1-1)

4 – Timur Pugin (1-0)

Middleweight – 185 lbs

Champion: Reuben Kincaid (3-0)

History: Despite being known for his Muay Thai prowess, Reuben Kincaid first appeared on the scene when he competed in the 9th installment of the TWGC grappling tournament. Finding little success there, Reuben set his sights on professional mixed martial arts. Tearing his way through the rankings of the Vale Tudo Fight Club, Reuben was distraught when the company closed its doors. Luckily, Reuben was immediately approached by Bravado Productions, where he has proven himself to be one of the greatest middleweights of the modern era.

Reuben made his promotional debut at Bravado 1, where he knocked out BJ Penn in the co-main event. A second round stoppage over Marcus Browne at Bravado 5 established Reuben as the inarguable top contender for the inaugural championship. At Bravado 8, Reuben Kincaid established himself on the global stage when he knocked out Inferno Pandaa in the opening round, ending Pandaa's five fight winning streak to become the undisputed, undefeated middleweight champion.

1 – Jed Knight (2-0)

8 – Benjamin Baller (1-0)

10 – Maple Heartoway (0-1)

As you may be able to ascertain from viewing our top ten rankings, simply fighting is enough to get placed within the "top ten", as the public rankings does not register any fighters that have yet to compete within the company. This is why Mark Wahlberg is one of the top heavyweights in the history of the company, but has yet to be placed on this list.
