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.

Super-heavyweight – 265+ lbs

Champion: Tarton McFukur (3-0)

History: The mouth of the super-heavyweight division, Tarton McFukur is the president of his own fan club. He came in to the Bravado Productions super-heavyweight division talking a big game, with big demands during the initial negotiations; it was believed that he would talk himself into a position in which humiliation was the only possible outcome. However, Tarton has proven himself to be an elite mixed martial artist time and again.

First, Tarton displayed the ability to adapt to various facets of a fight when he knocked out Jacob Frost on the feet during the opening round of the QFC tournament. Within Bravado Productions, Tarton has walked the walk and talked the talk; submission victories over Jack Johnson and Maple Heartoway have pushed his credibility to new heights, but it wasn't until he defeated Hollyfield Gomes to win the super-heavyweight championship that his stock went through the roof.

1 – Jerome Bland (2-0)

2 – Jack Johnson (1-1)

3 – Brutus Beefcake (1-0)

4 – Andrei Gonzales (1-0)

5 – JR Writer (1-0)

6 – Hollyfield Gomes (2-1)

7 – Jimmy Valmer (1-1)

8 – Benjamin Baller (1-0)

9 – Calvin Jones (0-1)

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.

(Heavyweight Division) Robert Diggs (6-2) (0-0 BP) versus Chip Chocolate Former #2 SHW (7-2) (1-0 BP)

Robert “Rza” Diggs is a boxing stylist that has proven to have a knack for wrestling as well, and has developed a nasty ground and pound attack. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Robert currently lives in Tokyo, Japan, where he trains out of Champions MMA, a private training facility.

Robert Diggs started his MMA career in the Budo Rei FC promotion of Tokyo, Japan; his debut came against brawler Ryan Rems at BRFC 15. Robert Diggs put his excellent head movement on display in the early goings of this fight, slipping punches and landing punches in return. Robert then clinched with Ryan, hammering him with punches against the cage, dropping Ryan to the floor, and finishing with follow-up strikes from mount. Diggs was given a much more skilled striker for his second fight, which came at BRFC 18 against Duke Rage. Diggs wasted no time in scoring a single leg takedown into guard, knocking Rage out with brutal ground and pound. After running through well rounded brawler Lucas Da Silva at BRFC 20, Robert Diggs demanded a much more established opponent for his final bout with the Budo Rei promotion.

His final Budo Rei fight came at BRFC 23, where he faced heavy handed former professional boxer Sergei Laschenko, who is one of the multi-clones that were abolished alongside Mikedmondson Edmondson and Mikhailu Banister. Laschenko seemed to be getting the better of the early striking exchanges, putting his former boxing experience on full display, and even threatening with head kicks as well. Diggs scored a slam takedown from the clinch, landing in half guard on top, and from there the fight was all Robert Diggs. “Rza” wasted no time in pounding away at the cheating multi, finishing with ground and pound midway through the very first round.

In search of tougher competition, Robert Diggs signed with Primal Combat, where he made his debut at Primal 21. His opponent was former Olympic wrestler Leroy Brown. Robert Diggs dominated the first round, hurting Brown with heavy punches both in the clinch and at a distance, nearly finishing with strikes. However, Brown survived the round, and controlled the latter two rounds with his wrestling en route to a unanimous decision victory.

At Primal FN 12, Diggs faced world class Muay Thai striker Jan Snow. Diggs dominated the opening round, using his much improved wrestling ability to beat Snow with brutal hammerfists. Diggs seemed to be landing the bigger shots on the feet in the second round, but was noticeably tiring with each exchange of blows. Diggs managed to score a takedown into guard, but used the time on top to catch his breath, prompting a referee stand-up. Near the end of the second round, Snow caught Diggs with a left hook, nearly knocking Diggs out; Diggs narrowly survived the round. Although Robert Diggs seemed to mostly recover from the knockdown, the third round was all Jan Snow, who was the fresher of the two fighters, and maintained his dominance en route to taking home the unanimous decision.

At Primal 32, Robert Diggs completed the final fight on his exclusive contract when he faced Sendou Kitano. Known for his heavy hands, Kitano was considered a wild favorite going into the fight due to the success that Snow had found against Diggs. The two strikers would connect early and often, landing thunderous blows that brought the “ooos” and “aaahs” of the audience. Robert Diggs managed to remain ahead on the scorecards due to his much improved physicality, his ever improving offensive wrestling, and his experience against world class competition. In the end, the fight would be decided not by the technical prowess of either fighter, nor the bias of three appointed judges, but by a small cut over the left eye of Kitano that just wouldn't stay closed, and instead opened wider with each passing minute. When prompted for an examination of the cut, the ringside doctor immediately waved off the fight. Now, months later, both Diggs and Kitano find themselves sitting near the pinnacle of the Bravado Productions heavyweight division, and a rematch between the two feels all but inevitable.

Following his tenure with Primal Combat, Robert Diggs made an appearance in a regional QFC bout, where he faced the hilariously over-matched Al Caholic. Diggs seemed to be toying with Caholic in the opening round, smiling as he connected with strikes. Caholic was relentless in his pursuit of Diggs, swinging wild with anything that could land. In the second round, Diggs pushed for the kill, refusing to allow this match to reach the judge's hands. Diggs landed punches in bunches, rocking Caholic and busting him up before scoring a takedown into half guard, where he finished with ground and pound. After the bout, Diggs embraced Caholic, imploring him to continue to chase his dreams in the sport.

Chip Chocolate is a world class collegiate wrestling stylist that has trained diligently to improve his boxing ability. In addition, Chocolate has trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, earning himself a purple belt, adding yet another facet to his style. Chip Chocolate was originally from Philadelphia, born and raised, although he currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he trains out of the public Westside Martial Arts gym. Chip Chocolate is a former super-heavyweight champion, from his time with the GAMMA Stomp-a-thon, and was last ranked within Bravado Productions as the #2 super-heavyweight fighter, a rank that he would have likely surpassed had he remained at that weight.

Chip Chocolate started his mixed martial arts career in the GAMMA Butt-Stompers league, now known as Knockout FC. In his first two bouts, Chip used his excellent wrestling and ground and pound to smash his foes; his elbows caused back-to-back doctor stoppages in both encounters. At Stomp-a-thon 53, Chip Chocolate challenged the reigning super-heavyweight champion for the title. Just shy of the two minute mark, Chip had knocked Ritter out with strikes on the feet, proving that he was more than just another wrestler.

Chip Chocolate made his first bid to defend the super-heavyweight belt at Stomp-a-thon 57; the challenger was Kalle Karlsson, a world class boxer, kick boxer, and wrestling specialist. Karlsson opened the fight with a haymaker of a right hand, but Chocolate fired back with punches of his own; both men received bad cuts seconds into the bout. Chocolate attempted to bring Karlsson to the ground, but failed to pull off this feat, as have so many before him. Karlsson put Chocolate down once again, and caught him with a third haymaker as Chocolate shot in for a takedown.

Chip Chocolate rebounded off of the loss of his title when he faced Jeffrey Dahmer. Unfortunately, Chocolate fell back to the wayside when he was caught in a submission by Jiu-Jitsu black belt Peter Petely.

Chip Chocolate was in a bad place following the Petely fight; having lost two of his last three, with his contract coming to a close, Chip needed a big win. Chip was paired up with undefeated wrestling prospect Matt Jordan; the two would trade takedowns and reversals, as well as punches on the feet, but Chocolate would dominated in almost all aspects of the fight, en route to a unanimous decision victory.

Chip Chocolate's final bout with the Butt Stompers came at Stomp-a-thon 68, where Chocolate faced a rebounding Sylvester Ritter. This time, the two traded domination of rounds, with Chocolate dominating the first round, and Ritter dominating the second; Chocolate landed the finishing blow early in the third, so there is no way to know how the round would have ended, had Ritter not gone down.

Following his tenure with GAMMA, Chip Chocolate signed with Bravado Productions, making his debut at Bravado 7 against KT standout Azadsahtru Singh. Chocolate took Singh down immediately, hammering him with ground and pound, eventually taking his back and choking Singh out.

Next, Hyman faced heavy handed slugger Octavion Prompethius; the bout took place largely in the clinch, with Krustofski coming out strong in the first round, but slowly fading in the second and third rounds. In the final round, Prompethius cracked Krustofski with a left hook, nearly knocking him unconscious; the fight would go the distance, and Prompethius would walk away with the unanimous decision.

With three fights remaining on his Island FC contract, Hyman dominated both Bob Wakosky and Gabriel Munoz, winning both bouts via unanimous decision. In his fifth and final fight with Island FC, Hyman was submitted by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt Jeff Probst. Hyman Krustofski opted not to negotiate with Island FC, instead taking a fight in the QFC arena, where he knocked out Anthony Ramirez with a lightning fast flurry of punches.

Hyman Krustofski signed with Highland Island, making his debut against King Diamond at Highland Island World 3. Although Krusty would badly hurt Diamond in the opening round, he would have to settle for a one-sided unanimous decision victory. After winning back-to-back victories over Tobious Khan and Robbie Lawler, Hyman Krustofski was given the opportunity to challenge former Island FC middleweight champion, and reigning Highland Island welterweight champion Rick James. The fight would ultimately be a close one, with both fighters landing shots on the feet and in the clinch. Hyman Krustofski walked away with a narrow majority decision, and the welterweight championship.

An immediate rematch was booked on what would be the final Highland Island event of the season.

Following the successful retention of his title, Hyman Krustofski participated in the finale tournament, knocking out Donald Trump (not that one) in the opening round, and dominating a third meeting against Tobious Khan. However, in the third round of the tournament, Hyman was paired up with Lucio Gracie, who submitted Krustofski with a triangle choke late in the opening round.

Following his time on The Island, Hyman Krustofski signed with Bravado Productions, where he immediately campaigned for a high profile rematch against Gracie. The two headlined Bravado 4, with Gracie once again submitting Krustofski with an opening round triangle choke.

In his most recent bout, Hyman Krustofski faced former two time Rumble on the Rock: The Island welterweight title challenger James Kicker. The fight would take place entirely at a distance, with both fighters swinging heavy from the get-go; Krustofski rocked Kicker with a two punch combination, before finishing him with a monstrous left hook to close out the show. Coincidentally, both Gracie and Krustofski find themselves on the winning track at the peak of the welterweight division.

Marcus Browne next signed with Sovereignty, making his debut at SVR 1, where he knocked out Demetrious Maxuimus. Next, Browne made short work out of Frank Ender, a brawler that proved to be absolutely no match for the heavy handed puncher. Next, Marcus Browne was paired up with the toughest opponent of his career thus far, when he faced Arnoldur Dimotroglu, an undefeated wrestler. Although Dimotroglu would score an immediate takedown into guard, Browne would prove to be a capable wrestler, scoring a sneaky reversal to the top position; ultimately, Browne would succumb to the ground and pound of Dimotroglu, losing the bout. Marcus Browne fought his final bout under the Sovereignty banners, when he knocked out wrestling specialist James Dean.

After Sovereignty closed its doors officially, Marcus Browne was signed by Bravado Productions, where he was paired up with fellow brawler Adam Holt at Bravado 1. Holt would dominate the opening thirteen minutes of the bout, battering Browne from bell-to-bell, until Browne scored a last minute knockout in an incredible come from behind victory.

Marcus Browne's most recent fight came against future middleweight champion Reuben Kincaid in an elimination match to see who would go on to fight for the vacant title. The bout largely took place in the clinch, with Kincaid putting his superior dirty boxing on display, before finishing Browne late in the second round.

Champion: Reuben Kincaid (3-0)

Next Fight: Raine Lovelair

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.

Super-heavyweight – 265+ lbs

Champion: Tarton McFukur (3-0)

Next Fight: James Bland

History: The mouth of the super-heavyweight division, Tarton McFukur is the president of his own fan club. He came in to the Bravado Productions super-heavyweight division talking a big game, with big demands during the initial negotiations; it was believed that he would talk himself into a position in which humiliation was the only possible outcome. However, Tarton has proven himself to be an elite mixed martial artist time and again.

First, Tarton displayed the ability to adapt to various facets of a fight when he knocked out Jacob Frost on the feet during the opening round of the QFC tournament. Within Bravado Productions, Tarton has walked the walk and talked the talk; submission victories over Jack Johnson and Maple Heartoway have pushed his credibility to new heights, but it wasn't until he defeated Hollyfield Gomes to win the super-heavyweight championship that his stock went through the roof.

1 – Jerome Bland (2-0)

2 – Jack Johnson (1-1)

3 – Andrei Gonzales (2-0) +

4 – Brutus Beefcake (1-0)

5 – JR Writer (1-0)

6 – Hollyfield Gomes (2-1)

7 – Jimmy Valmer (1-1)

8 – Benjamin Baller (1-0)

9 – Calvin Jones (0-1)

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.

Style: Catch Wrestling

Heat: Coming off of a loss.

Accomplishments or Accolades:

-Submission of the Night (x1)

Rancho Wildslap is the former number one Bravado Productions heavyweight, as well as the top contender inside Bravado. Rancho is a catch wrestler with a heavy top game; although he has been accused of being slightly too inactive on the top, more than half of his victories have come by way of submission. Born and raised in Yemen, Rancho currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he trains out of Tayne's 4d3d3d3 Gym, a public training center.

Rancho's two earliest bouts came inside the QFC arena, decisioning Jordan Kirkland, and submitting former Bravado fighter Brock The Beast.

Next, Rancho signed with Sovereignty, taking on BJJ purple belt Auld Bawls at SVR 5. Rancho returned for SVR 6 to take on submission wizard Bobo Clown. Despite having a tremendous wrestling advantage, Wildslap found himself on the wrong way of multiple takedowns; midway through the third round, Clown caught Wildslap in a kimura, forcing submission.

At Bravado 2, Rancho submitted Teofilo Stevenson with a third round rear naked choke; a submission that Rancho specializes in. Rancho returned for Bravado 5 facing Mickey Darmody.

(Light-heavyweight Division, Championship bout) Poohpoo Schrohtums #3 LHW (4-1) (1-1 BP) versus Arnoldur Dimotroglu #2 LHW (7-0) (2-0)

Poohpoo Schrohtums is a wrestler and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt. Born in Papua, New Guinea, Poohpoo was raised in Hilo, Hawaii; he currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he trains out of the Bi-Polar Asylum, a public MMA gym. Poohpoo Schrohtums is currently ranked at #3 in the Bravado Productions light-heavyweight division.

Poohpoo started his mixed martial arts career in the GAMMA Butt Stompers promotion, now known as Knockout FC. At Hype Wars 4, back in May, Poohpoo faced Alen Zalac, a jobber known for unskilled brawling. Despite the absolutely one-sided outcome of their first meeting, an immediate rematch was booked for Stomp-a-thon 64 just over one month later... to a similar outcome.

Poohpoo Schrohtums returned at Stomp-a-thon 67 to take on brawler Max Spencer; once again, Poohpoo scored a first minute knockout. This would be Poohpoo's final bout with GAMMA; he signed with Bravado Productions shortly after.

In his promotional debut, Poohpoo took a huge step up in competition when he faced undefeated striker Brandon Stark. The two would brawl for the first forty seconds, going blow-for-blow, with Stark dropping Schrohtums with a left hook, dropping him to the mat. Poohpoo climbed to his feet, but went back down off of an overhand right, this time staying down for the proverbial count.

In his most recent bout, Poohpoo Schrohtums faced Jackson Brown at Bravado 10. Brown was known for his heavy hands and excellent boxing ability, but also for having a limited wrestling background, despite having a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Schrohtums scored a double leg takedown into half guard, pounding on Brown, knocking him out with punches and elbows from half guard.

Arnoldur Dimotroglu is a wrestler and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt. Born and raised in Ankara, Turkey, Arnoldur currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he trains out of the public El Tico's Academy.

Arnoldur started his mixed martial arts career in the QFC arena, taking on boxing stylist Khalil Omurzakov. Khalil opened the fight with a straight left, cracking Dimotroglu on the button, but succumbed to a double leg takedown; Arnoldur landed in guard on top. Omurzakov escaped to his feet, and the two clinched in the center of the cage; Omurzakov pulled guard for absolutely no reason that I can figure out. As Dimotroglu went to work with ground and pound, Omurzakov escaped to his feet once again. Dimotroglu scored another takedown into side control and hammered away at Omurzakov with ground and pound, finishing the bout just two minutes in.

Following his wildly successful fighting debut, Arnoldur Dimotroglu signed with Sovereignty, making his promotional debut at SVR 1, where he faced Van Jones. Arnoldur wasted no time in scoring a takedown into guard, where he started loading up with ground and pound. Jones managed to reverse to the top position, but Dimotroglu reversed back to the top, finishing the fight with ground and pound from guard.

At SVR 2, Arnoldur returned to take on fellow wrestling stylist Tim Thompson, who would go on to score the first takedown of the night, going to work with ground and pound, serving Dimotroglu with a taste of his own medicine. However, Dimotroglu did what he does best: he reversed to the top position, going to work with ground and pound of his own, and within thirty seconds of obtaining top guard, finished Thompson. At SVR 4, Arnoldur made short work of Marcus Browne, who did manage to score a few moments in the top position before finding himself back on the bottom, getting pounded out like Jenna Jameson.

Arnoldur Dimotroglu fought at the infamous SVR 5 – Night Of Champions event, which would be the final event put on by the Sovereignty crew. Arnoldur's opponent was Drederik Tatum, a heavy handed slugger with a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Somehow, Tatum would survive the early takedown attempts of Dimotroglu, finding success where no prior opponent had been able to by stuffing his takedown attempts. Dimotroglu did find a home for his double leg takedown at the three minute mark, leading him to an immediate TKO victory, but for three minutes the world believed that Drederik Tatum was going to knock Dimotroglu unconscious to claim the championship.

When Sovereignty closed its doors, Arnoldur Dimotroglu signed with Bravado Productions. He made his promotional debut against heavy handed boxing phenom Jackson Brown at Bravado 3. Brown pushed forward, aggressively looking to trade punches from the get-go, but Dimotroglu scored his patented double leg takedown, dropping elbow after elbow on Brown, stopping the fight.

In his most recent bout, Arnoldur faced heavy handed brawler Kromog Island. Kromog found his moments in the early going, clinching with Dimotroglu, but was soon the victim of a professional mugging when Dimotroglu took him down and dropped him like he was hot.

(Welterweight Division) Thorwald Govandekal versus Tung Surano

Round 1 – The moment that the referee gave the command to engage, Govandekal rushed across the cage, pushing Surano back, clinching him up. Govandekal was landing hard shots to the midsection of Surano; for his part, Tung Surano was looking to fire back with knees, but nothing was landing. Govandekal opted to break the clinch, in a move that would be repeated throughout the fight. Surano hadn't had enough, so he clinched with Govandekal immediately, and ate an elbow to the eye socket for his trouble.

With a small trickle of blood pouring down the side of his head, Surano attempted to control Govandekal against the cage; Govandekal broke the clinch, and attempted to circle away. However, Surano bum rushed him back to the cage wall once again. Surano attempted to pull guard, a move that pundits had predicted, but Govandekal was ready for it, and responded with a brutal uppercut. Surano fired back with a knee, jarring the head of Govandekal.

Surano attempted more shots in the clinch, but was quickly overwhelmed by Govandekal, who was landing punches to the head and body at an increasing pace. After thirty more seconds in this position, Govandekal once again broke the clinch, cracking Surano with a right hand on the way out. Surano attempted a takedown, missed by a mile, and took a deep breath before climbing to his feet.

The next few minutes were comprised of one of the aspects of the fight game that I absolutely lament writing about, so I will abbreviate it like so: Govandekal clinched and broke the clinch quite frequently. Finally, from the clinch, Govandekal pulled guard... for some reason? Look, I'm a writer, not a fighter, so it shouldn't be my place to criticize. However, it's this writer's opinion that Govandekal had a gigantic advantage on the feet, and Surano really had no option other than a submission to pull out the victory here. Anyways, it's all rubbish, because Govandekal reversed to the top, landed a little ground and pound, and then immediately returned to his feet. Then played a two minute game of clinch, break clinch, takedown, stand up, clinch, break clinch. You get the idea.

Round 2 – Govandekal opened this round with an immediate double leg takedown into guard. Surano attempted to get back to his feet, and Govandekal advanced into side control... and then stood back up. Fuck's sake, man. Govandekal returned to the game of clinch, takedown, escape, break clinch, etc., until a thoroughly frustrated and exhausted Tung Surano ran face first into an inexplicable head kick. Govandekal slammed Surano to the floor and hammered him with punches, forcing the stoppage. Thorwald Govandekal def. Tung Surano via TKO (Strikes) at 3:32 of round 2.

[in his post-fight speech, Surano said all the right things about improvement and coming back stronger... but his manager has been away for several weeks, so the 0-3 Tung Surano was released from Bravado Productions.]

(Heavyweight Division) Jimmy Page versus Tim Ortiz

Round 1 – Jimmy Page immediately came out swinging, but had trouble finding his distance against the towering “Tiny” Tim Ortiz. Tim Ortiz attempted a head kick, but Page slipped out of range. Ortiz cracked Page with a strike and slipped another incoming punch from Page. Page finally found his mark with body shot, and Ortiz clinched up with him immediately... only to break the clinch. Oh, Jesus, here we go again.

Jimmy Page was AGGRESSIVELY throwing punches at Tim Ortiz, but was failing to land anything significant. Ortiz once again clinched, controlled, and then broke the clinch. Another striking exchange ensued, with Ortiz desperately trying to clinch again, for some reason, and he landed a decent leg kick. Ortiz clinched, stuffed a takedown attempt from Page, and then broke the clinch again. Ugh.

Jimmy Page rushed forward with a looping left hook, and slipped the lunchbox sized punches of Ortiz. Ortiz chased after him, looking to retaliate, and Page grabbed his midsection, pushing him back against the cage, only to score a trip takedown into half guard. On the ground, Page was working some ground and pound, but wasn't doing a ton of damage. Page went for a kimura, but Ortiz defended well. Page landed some elbows, went for that kimura again, but settled on ending the round on top, dropping elbows.

Round 2 – Back at square one, Page shot in for a power double, and Ortiz stuffed the attempt. Both fighters were swinging wild in this opening minute of the round, with neither man really doing much in the way of damage. Ortiz landed a one-two combo, and Page clinched him up, trying to push him back against the cage; Ortiz circled away.

One minute into the round, Ortiz had begun to slow down, and Jimmy Page pushed the pace, landing more punches now than he had in the entire fight beforehand. Ortiz answered by clinching and then breaking the clinch, also known as the thing that makes me pause to rub the bridge of my nose and sigh.

Three minutes into the round, Jimmy Page had finally found his distance, and was landing punches at will, with his hands at his hips, and a smile on his face. Ortiz attempted a leg kick, and Page blocked it with his shin, grinning up at the big man. Page clinched, and began working on that trip takedown, but Ortiz managed to stay upright for the remainder of the round. Neither man did any real damage against the cage, but Ortiz did manage to stay standing at least.

Round 3 – This time, it was Tim Ortiz that instigated an early clinch. Page used the opportunity to catch his breath, pressing the large man against the cage while threatening with a single leg takedown. Page broke the cage and ate a left hand on the button for his trouble. Ortiz threw a jab; Page slipped it, and attempted a leg kick that was blocked.

One minute into the round, Ortiz landed cleanly with a one-two combination, and Page responded by rushing forward to clinch once again. Ortiz immediately broke the clinch. Both fighters were swinging wild two minutes in, but neither was really landing; Page landed with a big left hand, and Ortiz backed up to catch his breath.

Page feinted with the jab a few times, and then shot in on the legs of Tim Ortiz; after a brief struggle, Page took the big man down, landing in half guard. Ortiz wasn't even attempting to advance position, he simply wanted to stand up; after a brief struggle, Ortiz escaped to his feet, clinched, then broke the god damned clinch.

Page attempted to shoot on the legs of Ortiz again, but this time it was stuffed. And again. Page threw a wild hook, then clinched with Ortiz against the cage. Page was going to the body, then he threw a big punch upstairs, jarring Ortiz a bit. Page began landing uppercuts, as the exhausted Tim Ortiz simply tried to hold on and survive the round. Spoiler: he survived. Jimmy Page def. Tim Ortiz via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-28).

[A media member's attempt to ask Jimmy Page what his nickname, “Iron Fisting”, refers to only led to laughter from Page's trainers as they walked away shaking their heads.]

(Light-heavyweight Division) Petah Tosssh versus Lawson Blackwood

Round 1 – Petah Tosssh opened by clinching with Lawson Blackwood, attempting knees to the midsection; Blackwood responded with short punches. The entirety of this round took place in this exact position, with the fighters taking turns with their back to the cage, landing short punches. By the end of the round, Lawson Blackwood was landing with an increased frequency as Tosssh began to fade.

Round 2 – Lawson opened this round with a straight right, cracking Tosssh right on the button. Tosssh clinched, pressing Lawson against the cage. Blackwood immediately reversed the position, pressing Tosssh back to the fence. Blackwood dominated the opening minute of the round, dropping Tosssh with an uppercut. Tosssh survived the knockdown, but was caught with a left hook that put him down and out. Lawson Blackwood def. Petah Tosssh via KO (Punch) at 1:46 of round 2.

(Welterweight Division) Nonito Donaire versus John Doe

Round 1 – The opening seconds saw a big punching exchange, with Doe pushing forward, and Donaire landing a big right hand.

Following the tournament, Hollyfield submitted Droppa Cleveland at Bravado 1. Due to a miscommunication, Hollyfield was released from his contract prematurely.

Despite this setback, Hollyfield was once again signed to Bravado Productions, where he entered into the super-heavyweight championship tournament. In the opening round of the tournament, Gomes submitted dark horse participant Maurice Boon in just eighteen seconds, advancing him into the tournament finale.

In fact, JR Writer has not gone the distance on in seven professional bouts.

Writer fought in the QFC proper following his removal from the tournament; first, submitting Dan Beattie in a re-match of their tournament bout, then submitting Adnan Boutrous in a forray into the heavyweight division.

Droppa Cleveland

Style: Boxing

Heat: Coming off of a victory.

Accomplishments or Accolades: N/A

Droppa Cleveland is an extremely heavy handed boxing stylist that has struggled to make the transition into professional mixed martial arts. He made his debut during season 5 of The Island, quickly knocking out a pair of opponents on the regional scene before knocking out Stan Marsh at Highland Challenge 37.

Unfortunately, Droppa would change management teams, and would also consequently lose his winning ways for the foreseeable future. Droppa went 1-4 in his next five bouts, including in a rematch against Marsh, who he had previously defeated. The bulk of Droppa's defeats would come within the Hardcore Fighting Championship, where he would accrue an overall record of 2-3 before parting ways with the company.

Droppa Cleveland returned to the QFC arena, knocking out three consecutive opponents in rapid succession, bringing his winning streak to four consecutive bouts. Around this same time, Bravado Productions was recruiting super-heavyweights, so Cleveland became an immediate prospect for the young company.

Droppa Cleveland made his promotional debut at Bravado 1, where he was quickly submitted by Hollyfield Gomes. Cleveland returned at Bravado 5, taking on well rounded Andrei Gonzales, who wanted none of the striking with Cleveland, instead opting to utilize his Jiu-Jitsu experience to submit the heavy handed slugger.

Most recently, Droppa Cleveland faced Frederick Darcy at Bravado 10. Darcy was known for being able to strike and wrestle, but mostly opted to brawl with Cleveland, which would ultimately be his undoing; Cleveland finished Darcy late into the opening round, securing his first victory within Bravado Productions.

Inferno had long since fluctuated between the welterweight and middleweight divisions; since his most recent bout had taken place at 185, that is where he was signed to when Bravado scooped him up. Inferno Pandaa made his promotional debut at Bravado 3, knocking out former Sovereignty champion Joyo Kumlakar midway through the opening round.

Jerome signed with Sovereignty following his run in the QFC arena, making his debut against Wong Lee at SVR 2.

For whatever reason, Sovereignty was fond of unnecessary re-matches, so Bland v Lee II was booked for SVR 6 to claim the vacant super-heavyweight championship. On this occasion, Lee became the second man to survive past the two minute mark, falling victim at 1:33 of the first round.

Style: BJJ (Purple Belt), Boxing

Heat: Three fight winning streak.

Accomplishments or Accolades:

-Reigning Bravado Productions Super-Heavyweight Champion

-Submission of the Night (x1, No Defenses)

-Three Fight Winning Streak

Tarton McFukur is the super-heavyweight champion of Bravado Productions. He is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner with a purple belt in the art; although he effectively utilizes a heavy handed brawling style while on the feet, his forte revolves around submission grappling. Born and raised in Half Moon Bay, California, Tarton currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he trains out of the public El Tico's Academy.

Known as “The Mouth” among fans, Tarton McFukur has changed his nickname frequently, including “The Death Star” and “The Mad Splatter”; Tarton is a frequent media darling, taking every opportunity to get before a camera to besmirch upcoming and past opponents.

Tarton started his journey in the world of mixed martial arts in a super-heavyweight QFC tournament, alongside former Bravado contender Calvin Jones and Hollyfield Gomes. McFukur made short work of both Jacob Frost and Johnny Blaze; along the way, he proved that he was adept at all aspects of mixed martial arts, and was as capable of submitting you as he was of knocking you unconscious on the feet. Tarton's third professional fight came against Travis Zero, a BJJ brown belt; McFukur would be defeated for the first and only time in his professional career, when he was submitted by Zero in the opening round.

Bravado Productions quickly raced to scoop up the tournament participants, and negotiations with McFukur's management began. The final agreement was that a tournament, involving McFukur, would establish the super-heavyweight champion; in exchange, McFukur would promote his tournament bouts throughout. The latter resolution would, of course, come back to haunt Bravado management.

Tarton McFukur made his promotional debut against Jack Johnson at Bravado 1, with McFukur quickly taking down and submitting Johnson in the opening round. Next, finally, the tournament began, and we saw McFukur face Canadian sweetheart and maple syrup aficionado Maple Heartoway. Although Heartoway would survive the first takedown of the fight, he was quickly brought back to the ground and submitted with an armbar in just forty-four seconds.

At Bravado 10, the much anticipated tournament finale match between McFukur and Gomes took place; the rounds would be razor close, but McFukur would walk away with an extremely one-sided unanimous decision victory to claim the vacant championship.

This match-up, between McFukur and Bland, is the single most anticipated fight in the history of Bravado Productions.

October 10, 2016

Bravado 17: McFukur v Bland was a mixed martial arts event held by Bravado Productions, in conjunction with Kore Fight Nutrition [TG], Bravado Entertainment, and the Vendetta alliance. This event took place on October 9, 2016 at The Hard Knocks arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

(Middleweight Division) BJ Penn versus Inferno Pandaa

Round 1 – Inferno Pandaa opened the fight by clinching with BJ Penn; Pandaa went to work with knees immediately, and Penn broke free of the clinch, circling away. Both fighters were throwing big punches in the center of the cage, but Penn was landing the bigger shots, busting the face of Pandaa open. Pandaa seemed to hold a single-minded game plan of clinching with Penn, and avoiding the striking exchanges, and Penn was lighting him up with kick boxing.

Round 2 – Inferno Pandaa immediately went back into trying to clinch, and BJ Penn tagged him with a right hand to the body. Pandaa did manage to clinch briefly, but Penn defended himself well against the cage before circling away. As Penn poured on the damage, the cut on the face of Pandaa worsened greatly. This was another big round for BJ Penn.

Round 3 – This round was a repeat of the opening two, with Pandaa having nothing for BJ Penn outside of clinch attempts; Pandaa did manage to clinch on two occasions, but did little with either opportunity. BJ Penn appeared to be the Penn of old, dominating every aspect of the bout. BJ Penn def. Inferno Pandaa via Unanimous Decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-26).

As the blood began to pour from the face of the super-heavyweight champion, Bland poured on the pressure, dropping McFukur to one knee and knocking him out as he clambered to his feet once again! McFukur went down, eyes open, yet completely unconscious! Jerome Bland def.

Note: The "top ten ranking" system is not meant to denote the order that contenders will fight for the championship.

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.

History: Jerome Bland started his mixed martial arts career in the QFC arena, where he went on an incredible five fight winning streak, finishing all but one opponent (on two occasions) within the first minute of the fight. Following his QFC tenure, Jerome fought twice for Sovereignty, facing the same opponent on both occasions; in the second meeting, Bland claimed the vacant super-heavyweight champion.

Most recently, Bland has burned a war path through the Bravado Productions super-heavyweight division, scoring first round knockouts over Jimmy Valmer and Brutus Beefcake to establish himself as the top contender in the division. At Bravado 17, Bland became the first man to knock out Tarton McFukur to become the undisputed super-heavyweight champion of the world.

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.

As was stated before the rankings, this list does not denote order of contenders nor does it provide a schedule for who will get the next title shot. As any promoter will tell you, the "top contender" position is a very fluid concept that can change due to a variety of circumstances. However, Bravado Productions does maintain a constantly shifting contender line-up that is available to any managers, fighters, or media members that inquire.

So, in closing, the public rankings are merely a way to chart the "heat" or momentum of active fighters within Bravado Productions.

(Lightweight Division) Cruz Lopez (1-1) (0-0 BP) versus Otavio Martins (0-1) (0-1 BP)

Cruz Lopez

Style: Kick Boxing

Heat: Coming off of a loss.

Accomplishments or Accolades: N/A

Cruz Lopez is a kick boxing stylist from Chicago, Illinois; currently a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, Cruz travels to and from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where he trains out of the True North Fight Team, a private MMA gym.

Cruz Lopez has fought twice in professional mixed martial arts, both times within the QFC arena. In his debut, Cruz faced Ray Donally, a well rounded, albeit low level submission fighter. Lopez dominated Donally, out striking him 49-1 en route to a very one-sided unanimous decision victory. Next, Lopez faced Temudjin Khaan, a world class striker, wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu practitioner known more for his grappling control rather than his finishing ability. Khaan controlled Lopez for three rounds, out working him on the feet for three rounds en route to winning the decision.

Otavio Martins

Style: Boxing

Heat: Coming off of a loss.

Accomplishments or Accolades: N/A

Otavio Martins is a wrestler from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, although he currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he trains out of the Wreckshop, an exclusive fight gym. In addition to being an accomplished wrestler, Otavio is a talented boxer as well.

(Heavyweight Division) Pillow Hands #8 HW (4-1) (2-1 BP) versus Mickey Darmody (5-3) (1-2 BP)

Pillow Hands

Style: Boxing

Heat: On a two fight winning streak.

Accomplishments or Accolades: N/A

Pillow Hands is a former professional boxer and heavy handed phenom in the sport of mixed martial arts. A lifelong resident of Las Vegas, Pillow currently trains out of the public Bi-Polar Asylum gym. Pillow is a renown front runner, starting every fight with a heavy storm of punches, overwhelming foes and finishing them.

Pillow Hands fought his first two bouts within the QFC arena, quickly knocking out Anicent Konate, and beating Roman Reigns into submission with strikes. Following the QFC bout against Reigns, Pillow Hands signed with Bravado Productions, making his promotional debut against fellow boxing stylist Jeff Benjamin at Bravado 1. The opening round of the bout saw Pillow Hands dominating Benjamin with crisp, heavy punches. However, as the minutes ticked by, and Benjamin remained standing, Hands slowly ran through his gas tank. In the end, Benjamin made a late comeback, dominating rounds two and three en route to a unanimous decision.

Pillow Hands returned at Bravado 4, taking on fellow front runner Brock The Beast; after escaping from an early takedown, Hands came back to win the fight via TKO late in the opening round.

Most recently, Pillow Hands faced brawler and Muay Thai stylist Kenu Urabey at Bravado 12. The two traded heavy strikes, but Pillow Hands proved to be much too technical for Urabey, who fell midway through the opening round. Pillow Hands is coming into this fight on the heels of back-to-back victories.

Mickey Darmody

Style: Kick Boxing

Heat: Coming off back-to-back losses.

Accomplishments or Accolades: N/A

Mickey Darmody is a heavy handed brawler from New York, New York; currently a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, Mickey trains out of the Better Alternative training center. Formerly a public gym, Better Alternative now caters only to LOD members, so Mickeys time in this gym is limited. At the time of this writing, however, he remains there.

Mickey Darmody made his MMA debut in the Sydney Elite Championship's first and only show, titled Season 1: Episode 1. His opponent was fellow brawler Thor Zeuz. The two traded blows on the feet for the remainder of the opening round; in the end, the cuts sustained by Zeuz would be his undoing, as the doctor would stop the bout.

When the promotion closed its doors, Mickey Darmody became a regular within the QFC arena; in his first regional bout, Mickey was submitted by Jiu-Jitsu blue belt David Batista. Mickey went on an absolute tear over his next three bouts, scoring first round stoppages over Derek Diggler, Wontiam Stillspear, and Dario Verovic.

On a three fight winning streak, Mickey was signed to Bravado Productions. With the highest of expectations placed on his shoulders, Mickey Darmody was paired up with Brock The Beast at Bravado 1. Darmody would make absolutely short work of Beast, knocking him out in just thirty-one seconds.

Next, Mickey was paired up with eventual number one heavyweight Rancho Wildslap. Mickey survived late into the third, but would ultimately fall victim to a rear choke with just over one minute remaining in the fight.

Most recently, Mickey Darmody was paired up with a surging Broderick Brickstock. Mickey eagerly brawled with Brickstock for the small length of time that the fight lasted, but ultimately Brickstock finished Darmody with punches on the feet.

(Lightweight Division) Kai Yamaguchi (5-2) (0-1 BP) versus Remy Jacquard #3 LW (3-0) (1-0 BP)

Kai Yamaguchi

Style: Muay Thai

Heat: Coming off of a loss.

Accomplishments or Accolades:

-Former Casino Fight Nights Lightweight Champion (x1, 1 Defense)

-Fight of the Night (x1)

Kai Yamaguchi is a Muay Thai stylist that has adapted a very strong wrestling game as well. Born and raised in Okinawa, Japan, Kai Yamaguchi has fought across the world, making appearances in London and New York. Kai Yamaguchi currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he trains out of The Zoo, a private training academy.

Kai Yamaguchi started his MMA career in New York, New York, against Greco Roman specialist Peter Redfield, at Havoc: GONY 1.1. The two warriors traded punches in and out of the clinch, battling it out wherever the fight transitioned. In the end, it was Yamaguchi that walked away with a narrow unanimous decision. Kai returned for the very next Havoc event, where he was submitted by Jiu-Jitsu brown belt Riff McGee.

Kai Yamaguchi parted ways with his management team following the McGee bout; following the advice of his new management, he relocated to London, England, signing to fight for the StrikeForce Union. Kai's promotional debut came at StrikeForce Union #8, where he faced Marvin Le Tourniquet, a Muay Thai stylist; Yamaguchi finished Tourniquet via TKO in the opening round.

The following paragraph will be tainted by my personal bias, so bear with me for a moment. I worked for Casino Fight Nights, originally as the event writer, but eventually working as both the half-assed poster maker, recruiter, and matchmaker. When Kai Yamaguchi was signed to the CFN lightweight division, I protested because Yamaguchi was leagues above the rest of the division; I called it much too soon at the time, and I stand by my words still today. Yamaguchi's Casino career was comprised of three fights against two fools that were willing to take an astronomical mismatch in the name of preserving their own twisted honor.

First, Kai was paired up with Jiu-Jitsu blue belt Dennis Bermuda, who stood absolutely no chance of winning the fight anywhere that it took place. Predictably, Yamaguchi finished Bermuda in the opening round. Next, Kai faced reigning lightweight champion Uryan Hall, who was bound by the championship belt- he had to face Hall, who had no business being in the ring with him. Yamaguchi finished hall via knockout in the opening round to claim the championship. Next, Kai faced Hall in a rematch, because Hall was the only opponent in the division that could at least potentially fight back.

Now, I want to make clear that none of this is a knock against Kai Yamaguchi; this was all just another nail in the coffin in which I inevitably buried my Casino Fight Nights career. Jake Parkinson was a nice enough guy, in his own ways, but he had absolutely no idea how to run a proper fight organization, and there is no more clear microcosm with which to illustrate his failures than his handling of the Kai Yamaguchi situation.

By contrast, we have been stacking our lightweight division with the absolute best free agents that money can buy. Smaller welterweights prefer to face large opponents rather than face in a division where an elite like Kai Yamaguchi is coming into a bout off of a recent loss.

Remy Jacquard

Style: Kick Boxing

Heat: Three fight winning streak.

Accomplishments or Accolades:

-Knockout of the Night (x2)

Remy Jacquard is a former world champion kick boxer and an undefeated mixed martial artist from Paris, France. Remy currently lives in New York, New York, where he is a member of Bjorn's Elite Team, an exclusive training center.

Remy Jacquard made his MMA debut against wrestling stylist Henry Diaz at OMEGA FIGHTING'S event titled COLD BLOODED. Jacquard finished Diaz with a brutal head kick in the opening round to win the fight. Next, Remy fought once for the GAMMA Butt Stompers league, now known as Knockout FC. At Stomp-a-thon 66, Remy faced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt Hayato Kohara. Jacquard brutalized Kohara, catching him with punches and kicks en route to finishing him with a barrage against the cage.

Most recently, Kai Yamaguchi signed with Bravado Productions, making his debut against Otavio Martins at Bravado 13. Martins would prove to be the most challenging fight of Yamaguchi's career, winning the close opening round. Yamaguchi came back in the second round, hurting Martins with punches and finishing him with his patented barrage of strikes against the cage.

Chris Lovelair is a Texan kick boxer, specializing in Muay Thai striking. Currently living in Las Vegas, Nevada, Chris lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he trains out of Tayne's 4d3d3d3 Gym, a public facility.

Chris Lovelair made his MMA debut during season 5 of The Island. His first fight came in the QFC arena where he knocked out Peter Hammond with a head kick. In his second pro fight, Chris faced Count Foo, a former boxer known for his thunderous right hand. Foo slowed the early progression of Lovelair, rocking him with that right hand before finishing the bout with follow-up strikes. Chris's next two bouts were both inside the QFC, and both were against Harry Lee, another former boxer; Lee was known for his propensity of getting into wild punching exchanges, which is what made him pay dearly in both encounters with Lovelair.

Chris Lovelair competed in the Season 5 finale tournament, but was stopped in the opening round by Kintarou Ooe.

Following his tenure on The Island, Chris signed with Bravado Productions, making his debut at Bravado 5 against Jiu-Jitsu specialist Flatbush Diaz.

Aspen got his start in the QFC arena, submitting David Fair in the opening round. Still not fully committed to fighting in mixed martial arts, he participated in the TWGC 10 welterweight grappling tournament. Aspen found success in the tournament, submitting Sterling Archer in the first round of the qualifiers, and besting catch wrestler Russell Paulman in a one-sided judge's decision. In round one of the finals, Aspen submitted Jiu-Jitsu purple belt Damiao Marcos via triangle choke. In the second round of the finals, Aspen dropped a judge's decision to Jonthan Henry; this would be Aspen's final foray into submission grappling thus far.

At the closure of the tournament, Aspen Springfield signed with the Russian fight organization, Dignity Fighting Championship. At DFC 5, Aspen faced Luke Dawson, a strong Muay Thai stylist; Springfield dominated Dawson en route to submitting him via rear naked choke. Next, Aspen submitted brawler Laim Sutton, earning fight of the night honors for his troubles.

At DFC Showtime 3, Aspen Springfield challenged undefeated reigning lightweight champion Alexander Koreshkov for the title. Springfield would struggle to contend with the strong wrestling control and ground n pound of Koreskov; after surviving getting badly hurt in the second round, Springfield was stopped due to unanswered ground and pound midway through the third round.

Springfield's final fight with Dignity came at DFC 12, where he faced ground and pound stylist Josh Gates, dominating him with wrestling before submitting him late in the third and final round, catching him in a tight armbar. Following the fight with Gates, Springfield signed with Bravado Productions.

At Bravado 12, Aspen Springfield faced world class Muay Thai stylist and former championship hopeful Mladen Tomasevic. Springfield struggled against the defensive wrestling of Tomasevic, ultimately suffering a unanimous decision loss after three rounds of action.

In the second round, Brown continued his dominance, dropping Banget two times with punches before knocking him out early in the second round.

Brown continued his QFC career, knocking out Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blue belt Jamal Barnett. In his third professional bout, Jackson Brown was defeated for the first time when he faced the oddly named Project Four- a Muay Thai stylist that would never fight again after this bout. Brown won three of his next four, knocking out Vincenzo Roach, Eric Crowly, and Russell Skall, but ultimately falling before Falcon Sackett.

Next, Jackson Brown signed with Sovereignty, making his debut against eventual division champion Joyo Kumlakar at SVR 2.

Really in depth, thanks

Bwang · October 17, 2016

Kai Yamaguchi would like to thank Remy Jacquard for a brutal toe to toe slugfest. I think it was an education for both fighters.

Kai now needs to get back to his winning ways; he will be bringing his full fire to the next fight. No mistakes.

Anyone. Anytime. (Preferably a lightweight seeing as he's in the lightweight division...)

Have to say hugely enjoying this org and the work put in by those in charge.

I've got Kevin Shinnie 265lbs and current 170lbs champ Evan Berget signed here and I'll be bringing more in soon - this org looks destined to go places and urge anyone to get a few guys in here.

Keep up the work guys.

I left the org shortly to try an obtain a business to grow Bravado but I was outbid so i am not able to hand out anything in his absence.

I hope he comes back soon, I love the work he's put into Bravado and I wouldn't really want to sign Sendou anywhere else..
