Lebowski Island Achievers Official Thread



For the last time, man, I'm not that Jeffrey Lebowski, I'm The Dude, man. I don't know the first thing about running a charity - and besides, this looks a lot more like an underground fight club than a charity. I'm supposed to be on vacation - you should hear about the week I had. No, I didn't say I was a matchmaker, I said do you have a match, man, this joint is totally burnt out.



All I wanna do is sit in the sun, drink my drink, and relax man. Now there's all these guys who look like nobody ever told them gym class got out like ten years ago following me around and asking me who they're supposed to fight. I guess as long as they are't fighting me, man. Are there any bowling alleys on this island?

Lebowski Island Achievers 1: This Isn't Vietnam


http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1474603634post1final3.jpg


Event Preview


145 lbs

Masa "Tiger" Hattori (1-0-0 MMA) vs. Bobby "IRA" Sands (2-0-0 MMA)


The inaugural fight for the Lebowski Island Achievers will feature one of the promotion's youngest fighters as undefeated 19-year-old submission wizard Bobby Sands takes on Japanese striker Masa "Tiger" Hattori. Hattori was crowned a champion in his professional debut, taking a hard-fought decision under the banner of the now closed Deserted Fighting promotion. A strong dirty boxer, Hattori was nearly finished by punches in the dying moments of his debut but should have the advantage on the feet against his less-experienced opponent. Sands' most likely method to victory will be to collect his third submission - "Tiger" is a capable wrestler but has thus far shown a penchant for close-quarters combat, which could make it more difficult to elude takedowns. Hattori, meanwhile, will have to be exceedingly careful throughout, avoiding any solicitations to engage in a grappling fight and biding his time to a decision victory.


145 lbs

Mike "Tiny" Coxsmall (1-0-0 MMA) vs. Javier "JJ" Jammer (1-1-0 MMA)


True to his nickname, "Tiny" Coxsmall will be the smaller man in this featherweight bout as he takes on enigmatic Greco-Roman stylist Javier Jammer. That could be a problem if the Hawaiian Jammer can get ahold of Coxsmall as his preference has been to use his strength and technical ability to stifle his opponents in the clinch where he uses all his limbs to strike effectively, if not exceptionally powerfully. He has also proven prone to mental lapses however, inexplicably pulling guard in his MMA debut against a much more experienced ground fighter and quickly being mounted and submitted as a result. Coxsmall, meanwhile, displayed a varied and accurate striking attack on the feet in his successful debut, perhaps more impressively stuffing 15 out of 16 of his opponent's takedowns. Expect a grinding and hard-fought decision here.


170 lbs



Our first welterweight affair will pit two undefeated strikers more accustomed to snow than sun against each other as Minneapolis native Buzz McGillicutty takes on Swedish striking sensation Richard Rakell. Both men are veterans of the defunct Deserted Fighting promotion with McGillicutty taking a somewhat sloppy decision over Fabricio Werdum in his debut and Rakell looking rather more impressive in stopping Sylvio Nicostrato with brutal knees from the Thai clinch less than a minute into their bout. With McGillicutty having done his best work in the clinch he'll be playing with fire if he chooses to continue that trend against Rakell, although his abysmal accuracy at long range in his first bout makes that a questionable route to victory as well. Rakell, meanwhile, we certainly want to use his power in close quarters to make it a short night for the American.


185 lbs



The climb up the weight class ladder continues with a middleweight bout between a pair of undefeated 25-year-old Island imports. Boxer Kash Kwicklee is another fighter signed from the ashes of Deserted Fighting where he was declared that promotion's middleweight champion after a stifling three-round decision over Scott "Cowboy" Miller. His opponent this time out will be Dutch knockout artist Max Gamble, a skilled boxer who is also capable of ending fights with fearsome ground and pound from top position thanks to his high-level wrestling background. His combination of strength and technique up close will likely force Kwicklee to adopt a run-and-gun approach rather than the up-and-close and personal dirty boxing he utilized in his debut, or perhaps "Special K" has the confidence to take his opponent head on.


185 lbs



The card remains in the middleweight division for the next fight, a clash between two men who tasted both victory and defeat in their brief time so far on The Island. An amateur boxer known for his big right hand, the American Rick Sharpshooter has really committed to cross-training with his dedication on the mats showing through in that his only pro MMA finish has come by way of anaconda choke. His commitment to throwing combinations on the feet and mixing in takedowns and submissions has made him dangerous thus far, with his only setback coming by decision to the physically imposing Clay Moore, a recent signee with the Lighthouse promotion. Fitzgerald meanwhile is a dangerous Muay Thai competitor from Antigua known for his deadly kicking game and aggressive approach on the feet. The latter has been key for him in both victory and defeat as he blitzed through his first two opponents on the feet before being knocked down by a counter left early in his recent fight against current title contender Omar Harrak and being unable to recover, succumbing to strikes before the end of the round. He showed a lot of heart in that fight, returning from two knockdowns, but a more measured approach might be the best option here against the technically sound Sharpshooter.


145 lbs

Marlon Gibbs (1-0-0 MMA) vs. Samy Radjansky (2-0-0 MMA)


Two fighters with the talent to be serious contenders in the featherweight division collide here in a fight that seems certain to produce a fast finish. Though known for boxing acumen, the Cuban Gibbs turned the tables on his grappler opponent in his debut bout, being controlled on the bottom for the first round before venting his frustration by taking his opponent down in the second and beating him senseless with a furious flurry of ground and pound. Facing off from him this time will be boxing sensation Samy Radjansky, one of the hardest hitters you'll find at 145 pounds. The Surinamese striker has not given the referee a chance to intervene thus far in his pro career, rendering both of his opponents totally unconscious in less than a round, and the fans on Sunday will certainly be hoping for a repeat of those fireworks. Though no slouch in the wrestling department, Radjansky is not quite as accomplished of a ground fighter as his opponent, so expect Gibbs to look for the takedown as soon as the opportunity presents itself.


145 lbs

Brandon "Beast" Steel (3-1-0 MMA) vs. Karl Lykkebjerg (3-0-0)


The display of talent from the lower weight classes continues as this bout seems likely to be a title eliminator for any future featherweight title bout the promotion might put together, given the pedigree of the fighters involved. East Timorese boxer Brandon Steel has rattled off three consecutive victories after falling short in his pro debut, raising eyebrows and his stock around the league with a savage 14 second knockout of Ariane Lipskki his last time out. Traditionally a bantamweight competitor, "Beast" was huge for that division is will not be the noticeably smaller man even against a natural featherweight in Lykkebjerg. Where the undefeated Danish grappling stylist will have the distinct advantage is on the mat, as the three effortless first-round submission victories thus far in his career amply demonstrate. Steel has a good sprawl, and he will have to put it to use here as Lykkebjerg will want no part of him on the feet and certainly possesses the skills to tap him out swiftly.


265 lbs



The last fight finalized for Sunday's card, this one didn't even make it onto the poster but is nevertheless hotly anticipated by heavyweight fight fans. BaRock Chester will play something of a heel role here; one can't deny his success thus far but his measured and grinding approach from top position has earned occasional jeers from the fans, even as it has eventually softened up both of his previous opponents enough to earn submission finishes. He'll be the lighter and faster man on Sunday as he takes on the aggressively christened Knock You Out, a hard-hitting boxer who has lived up to his name by punching his way to first-round finishes in his first two career bouts. It should be a classic striker/grappler affair with Chester aggressively hunting takedowns on the feet and then slowing down and being careful not to relinquish top position if he's fortunate enough to land one, while Knock Out patiently hunts that one-punch KO.


265 lbs

Conan Gracie (1-0-0 MMA) vs. Mike Tycoon (2-0-0 MMA)


Though he has only competed once, the charming Conan Gracie has the look and charisma to be a star if he can continue his winning ways, already counting among the Island's more popular competitors. A twenty second knockout at Deserted Fighting's second and final event is Gracie's claim to fame thus far, while the more experienced Mike Tycoon has defeated both of his opponents, one via quick knockout and the other by uncontroversial unanimous decision. Gracie's gameplan is simple - he's a technically-sound standup fighter who prefers to punch while Tycoon is something more of a brawler, relying on his ability to dirty box in close quarters or powerful, looping punches thrown while stepping in. Both men have competed at light heavyweight in the past, so neither should have a significant size or strength advantage in what promises to be a stand-up war.


http://s18.postimg.org/nzs2l9rkp/bobbybrown.jpg http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20160919040050LIAbeltsmallnotransparent.jpg http://s18.postimg.org/6l66tz51l/moroccocomplete.jpg


185 lbs Championship Fight

Bobby Brown (4-1-0 MMA) vs. Omar "Harrakane" Harrak (3-0-0 MMA)


It's still less than a month into this season of The Island, but both competitors here have already established themselves as names to watch by fighting early and often and winning in almost every case, certainly earning the right to compete for the inaugural LIA middleweight belt in the main event. Built like a tank, Canadian grappler Bobby Brown has been a nearly unstoppable force on the ground, overpowering four of his five opponents on the ground en route to submission wins and coming seconds shy of a decision victory in his fifth before being caught by a shocking last-second guillotine choke by current Revolution Island competitor Alexander Zuev. That setback is well in his rear view mirror now however and he'll certainly be in little danger on the ground tonight as his opponent is strictly a stand-up fighter... but what a stand-up fighter! The Moroccan-born "Harrakane" is humble and soft-spoken outside the cage but has been one the Island's most fearsome competitors inside it, dispatching all three of his professional opponents by way of first round punches and rarely breaking a sweat while doing it. Although he boasts a strong wrestling pedigree to support his boxing background, Harrak has definitely not faced a grappler of Brown's caliber, and all it will take is a single lapse in balance or concentration to put him in a world of trouble. On the other hand, Brown will ill afford to be able to be sloppy with the takedowns he will so keenly require for victory, lest he find himself alone on the canvas.

Event Recap


145 lbs

Masa "Tiger" Hattori (1-0-0 MMA) vs. Bobby "IRA" Sands (2-0-0 MMA)



Hattori comes out aggressive with his striking, tagging the noticeably smaller Irish teenager Sands with alternating jabs and body punches and seeming like he may be able to connect at will. That changes in a second though as a sloppy attempt at a combination is countered with a beautiful takedown into side control for "IRA". Hattori is in huge trouble - he does not want to be here at all! The Japanese boxer wants to get a leg back in for half guard but Sands has his wrist tied up in a shoulder lock. Hattori is kicking and flailing to get a better position but there's nothing he can do here and that arm is at a grotesque angle now. Now "Tiger" is tapping, and that's all she wrote - 19-year-old Bobby Sands is still undefeated on The Island!



Bobby Sands def. Masa Hattori via Submission (Americana) R1 0:39




145 lbs

Mike "Tiny" Coxsmall (1-0-0 MMA) vs. Javier "JJ" Jammer (1-1-0 MMA)



The fighters touch gloves and immediately clinch. Coxsmall looks like he's trying to pull guard here but Jammer just shrugs him off and throws short punches and elbows, though only some are getting through. The fighters break for a moment, but they're right back to the clinch now. Coxsmall wants to escape and he does but Jammer is just shrugging off these takedown attempts. He looks like the much bigger and stronger man out there. Coxsmall keeps escaping the clinch but only for a few moments at a time and even though he's not overwhelmed he just can't get anything done up close. The bell rings for the second round and Coxsmall looks ragged as he shoots in for a takedown there. Jammer just steps back and when "Tiny" comes forward again he blasts him with a one two right on the button! Coxsmall is backing away now but he's on shaky legs and he's bleeding from a cut above his eye. Jammer rushes him into the clinch again and now he's landing much softer punches, it's hard to tell if Coxsmall has really recovered or not. Jammer's pushed him back out to a distance now - that's smart, Coxsmall is still breathing hard and - oh, he caught him with a straight that looks like it broke his nose! Coxsmall turtles up but Jammer is pouring it on and the referee is going to have to step in now. Impressive finish for "JJ"!


Javier Jammer defeats Mike Coxsmall via TKO (strikes) R2 1:06



170 lbs




McGillicutty hits a nice combination early on here and then rushes to clinch "Rak City" against the cage. I'm not sure if that's a good idea here as the position seems to be a stalemate at best or favoring Rakell at worst. Both fighters are missing with most of their shots here but an occasional blow is getting through, it's a real game of attrition. McGillicutty is working very aggressively but really getting stymied... It's a tough round to score. Rakell lands a nice body punch in the standup to start the second but both fighters are missing more than they're connecting and McGillicutty pushes it back to the clinch. Rakell is just happy to play around in this position though, he's not eager to go anywhere, and he's fighting back now with a couple nice body knees. They both score with some punches upstairs and again it's not the easiest round to score, but probably goes to Rakell. This time Rakell is the one clinching in the third as both fighters are pretty exhausted here. These are really arm punches now, but both fighters are definitely game. Rakell lands a nice knee to the head but McGillicutty is unphased and he's trying to pour it on at the bell - Oh! that punch from Rakell caught him square just before the bell, but he seems to be okay walking back to the stool. There's some suspense as we wait for the judge's to read the decision, both men have their hands raised expectantly but it's the Swede Richard Rakell on every judge's card for the win.


Richard Rakell def. Buzz McGillicutty via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-28, 30-27) R3 5:00



185 lbs



Kwicklee comes out very strong in the boxing department, peppering Gamble with jabs to the head and body while dancing out of range of "The Gambit" who seems desperate to score a takedown. After several taxing looking attempts, Gamble finally does get the fight to the mat but he's having trouble controlling "Special K" from the top and none of these ground and pound strikes are really getting through. Gamble winds up for an elbow and Kwicklee hits a nice scissor sweep, now he's on top in guard. Kash just stands up and beckons Gamble back to the striking game but his opponent has stepped up his head movement here and most of the punches are missing.. oh, now there's a nice takedown for Gamble again. Really just lay and pray here until the bell though, hard to score it for Gamble. The second round gets going with another takedown for Gamble, though Kwicklee hops right back to his feet. That happens again, and a third time, and now an exhausted Gamble is just getting lit up on his feet. Nice chin there, but those are some clean punches and Kwicklee continues to tee off until the bell. It's more of the same in the third as Gamble continues to hit nice trips and single-legs on the feet but Kwicklee's jiu jitsu escapes are excellent and he always returns to standing without taking any damage. It would be tough to score this if it were more even on the feet, but "Special K" continues to land shot after shot on his opponent while Gamble has nothing to offer but takedown attempts and he's looking down and shaking his head as the judge's cards are read.


Kash Kwicklee def. Max Gamble by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) R3 5:00


185 lbs



Sharpshooter comes out hunting hard for the takedown, but Fitzgerald is showing off a good sprawl here. He pushes him away a couple times, then connects with some solid leg kicks right into the meat that have to be slowing "The Truth Teller" down. Sharpshooter is mixing in some punches here and having a little more success while Fitzgerald opts for the punch-and-clutch in and out of the clinch, returning fire with kicks when the opportunity presents itself and - oh! He just doubled Sharpshooter over with a spinning kick to the body then floored him with a high kick! Fitzgerald waves Sharpshooter to his feet and he climbs unsteadily to standing, blood pouring down one side of his face now. The Antiguan Fitzgerald slams another high kick into Sharpshooter's dome but somehow the American doesn't go down and in fact he seems to have somehow been kicked back to alertness! He's not having any more success, but he's no longer shaky on his feet and he survives to see the end of the round. Sharpshooter is opening up more with his punches here in the second but Fitzgerald just can do no wrong with these kicks, repeatedly connecting to the American's vulnerable legs and body. Sharpshooter needs to abandon these takedown attempts, they're just not working for him and bam, Fitzgerald hits him with another head kick and he goes crashing down! Fitzgerald waves him back to his feet and then just stalls against the cage for the final seconds of the round, a questionable decision there. Both men are tired now and the pace has slowed down in the third, but it's still all Fitzgerald with sharp kicks and punches, avoiding almost every counter strike with ease. His insistence on clinching for a moment and then pulling right back out doesn't make for the most exciting moments throughout the fight, but it does seem to have thrown Sharpshooter off his pace, and there's no surprise when the decision is read out.


Carter Fitzgerald def. Rick Sharpshooter by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) R3 5:00


145 lbs

Marlon Gibbs (1-0-0 MMA) vs. Samy Radjansky (2-0-0 MMA)


Gibbs clearly has a ton of respect for the striking ability of Radjansky because he comes out looking for a takedown right off the bat, despite not being known for them. You can see what he was afraid of as Radjansky is opening up on him now, marking him up with stiff jabs and thudding hooks, but Gibbs has fought through it and now he's completed that takedown he's been hunting for. My notes here say Gibbs is a white belt in BJJ but you wouldn't know it from that beautiful guard pass straight to mount, and it looks like he's trying to cinch up an arm triangle choke. Radjansky is out of it, but he's eating some shots now, he puts up his arm to protect his face and Gibbs grabs it and spins for a textbook far side armbar that has the Surinamese boxer crying out in pain and tapping.


Marlon Gibbs def. Samy Radjansky by Submission (Armbar) R1 3:55


145 lbs

Brandon "Beast" Steel (3-1-0 MMA) vs. Karl Lykkebjerg (3-0-0)


Lykkebjerg barrels across the cage and immediately begins working to try to take Steel down, but "Beast" seems to be more than up to defending thus far. He's shucking off these long-distance shots and hitting solid counters, really making a point to work the body too. It's remarkable that Lykkebjerg is just wading through these strikes but he's not offering anything offensively, just trying and failing to close distance or bring the fight to the ground. Oh, my, that combination really stung though and Lykkebjerg is backing up and shaking his head now, trying to clear the cobwebs. Steel continues to score down to the bell but Lykkebjerg appears to have regained his composure now. Steel is just working a boxing clinic on his Danish opponent here in the second, at this point I'm just starting to become very impressed with Lykkebjerg's chin, even though he's losing this fight badly. He's going to have to really make something happen here in the third round, he needs this takedown he's been hunting and it's hard to see these ragged shots having much of a chance to get it done for him. Oh, that's a big overhand right and now the Dane is really hurt, he can't get his legs back under him and he's just turtling on the ground. Steel continues to pour on the punishment and the referee is going to have to step in now after a dominating performance.



Brandon Steel def. Karl Lykkebjerg by TKO (Strikes) R3 3:31



265 lbs



The bell rings and, oh my what, a fast takedown from Chester there. He just bum rushed his opponent and Knock Out really didn't see it coming, he's flat on his back here barely holding half guard. Chester slides right into mount here and this a dire position for his opponent here, he can't survive long from this spot. Chester is working ground and pound but he's careful not to lose position and can't land any truly devastating shots as a result. He reaches over now and tries to set in a guillotine... Knock Out escapes, but he's had to roll over and now Chester has his back. Chester puts both hooks in and starts to squeeze.. I think this across the face, but man, that's still got to be painful... and Knock Out is tapping! That's it, "The Feast Incarnate" is the victor by first round submission. Knock Out never got to throw a punch.



BaRock Chester def. Knock Out by Submission (Rear Naked Choke) R1 3:31



265 lbs

Conan Gracie (1-0-0 MMA) vs. Mike "Inner Chimp" Tycoon (2-0-0 MMA)


Gracie comes out raising his hands and gesturing to get the crowd going. Tycoon waits for him to square up, then catches him with a lazy left to key off a nice exchange with both men scoring to the head and body. The hirsute heavyweight Tycoon lands a nice punch that split open Gracie's brow, then ducks perfectly into the clinch. The pace slows down here for a moment as the big men grapple for position with Gracie trying to scoop up the shorter man but Tycoon resisting and landing some marginally effective dirty boxing. Pushing away from another takedown attempt Tycoon circles back away to striking distance and begins to score more consistently with his punches as Gracie paws at his eye, trying to keep the blood from dripping into it. Oooh, Gracie gets clipped by a huge left hook and crumples. Tycoon dives into side control and lands several hammerfists that bounce his opponent's head off the canvas before the referee can pull him away. Big first round knockout for "Inner Chimp"!



Mike Tycoon def. Conan Gracie by TKO (Strikes) R1 2:08

Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski Walter Sobchak


"Good evening everybody, I'm The Dude and apparently I'm going to be doing play by play for the main event tonight. I don't really know anything about sports, so I brought in my friend Walter here to help out. He knows all about this fighting stuff, in fact, he's decided he's a fighter now, so he's going to be the color man."


"Dude! Colored man? First of all, I'm Polish. Second of all, not the preferred nomenclature."


"Color man, Walter. It's, like, the guy who makes little witty comments and stuff. Jesus."


"I don't care what the job description is, Dude, it sounds racist. We all bleed the same color, man. When I was in Danang you didn't care if the guy who had your back was black, white, purple, all that mattered was that he was gonna be there when Charlie came to - "


"Goddamn it, Walter! What did I tell you about the war stories!"

185 lbs Championship Fight

Bobby Brown (4-1-0 MMA) vs. Omar "Harrakane" Harrak (3-0-0 MMA)


"Okay, so, in in the blue corner we've got the submission specialist Bobby Brown. No relation, I assume."


"No relation to who, Dude?"


"The singer Bobby Brown."


"Why would he be more likely to be related to Bobby Brown? You don't name both your kids Bobby. Why not James Brown, or anybody else named Brown."


"Okay, fine Walter. And in the red corner we have Omar Harrak. It says he was a boxing champion in Morocco."


"Well, he's not boxing now, Dude, Brown just dragged him down to the ground."


"Yeah, it doesn't look like he wants to be here at all, and right away too. He barely got to throw a single punch. Oh, now it looks like Brown is applying some kind of choke with his legs!"


"He's not going to be able to choke him there, but if he switches to the arm - and there he goes, and look, Harrak is tapping."



Bobby Brown def. Omar Harrak by Submission (Triangle Armbar) R1 0:46



"Well, that's that, looks like Bobby Brown is the middleweight champion. Dominating performance, but so fast! It's still early."


"Fuck it, Dude. Let's go bowling."

Lebowski Island Achievers 2: The Bums Lost


http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1474664775POSTER2Final3.jpg


Event Preview


265 lbs


265 lbs - Bubba Hoskins (1-0-0 MMA) vs. Joey Gomez (1-0-0 MMA)


The first bout of the night is a heavyweight collision between a pair of decorated wrestlers, each victorious in their professional debuts. The American Bubba Hoskins is a former Division I college wrestling champion from Minnesota who was dominant in his first fight, taking down his opponent in every round and connecting with regular punches and elbows from top position. He will have a weight advantage over his opponent, the Mexican Joey Gomez, but will give up several inches of reach while also trading some speed for strength in the matchup. Gomez needed only two minutes to submit his grappling novice opponent in his debut, but in this case both men are much more evenly matched on the ground. That might result in a fight played out largely on the feet, or more of a stalemate on the mat, but either way a judge's decision seems the most likely conclusion.


170 lbs



Change is here, whether you can believe it or not, as the Kenyan striker Baraka Obamacare prepares to make his debut, competing for the first time as a professional and under the LIA banner. His opponent is not the most imposing on the roster as Australian dirty boxer Jack "Money Money" Matthew has already announced that he will retire from the sport, win or lose, calling into question his motivation for this bout. On the other hand, his decision to retire followed an embarassing submission loss to a more experienced ground fighter, a result that's unlikely to be repeated Saturday night as Obamacare has a clear preference for battling it out on the feet.


265 lbs

Jack Infamous (debut) vs. Custo Lombardo (1-1-0 MMA)


Another clash of heavyweights will continue the preliminary bouts as the colossal striker Custo Lombardo attempts to bounce back from a disappointing knockout against debuting Canadian grappler Jack Infamous. A decorated BJJ competitor, Infamous is also a former high school wrestler and is reputed to have worked on his boxing before transitioning to the pro game, so he may not be a total pushover on the feet either. He'll still be at a disadvantage their to former Spanish Olympic boxing alternate, who also boast a fairly well-rounded ground game, although nowhere on the level of his opponent. The towering European will hope to score an early knockout as his chances of avoiding a takedown for fifteen minutes seem slim and his chances of avoiding having one of his lanky limbs caught in some kind of submission if it does hit the mat seem even slimmer.


145 lbs

Alex Maia (debut) vs. Sarah "Rush" Rykkelejr (1-1-0 MMA)


This card has been a bit star-crossed in terms of fighter motivation as Brazilian clinch specialist Alex Maia has shockingly announced his likely retirement following this bout, citing difficulty with the weight cut. It is still possible he might be convinced to return to the sport by some other management team, but one questions if he'll have trained adequately to face Danish grappling wizard Sarah Rykkelejr. Although "Rush" has dealt with questions about his chin, particularly following his debut where he was finished early in the first round, the determined ground fighter proved his doubters wrong in his last bout as he dominated his opponent on the mat en route for a quick rear naked choke victory. He'll definitely want to get to the mat again tonight, as Maia will be no match for him there having none of the BJJ training that might be implied by his national heritage.


265 lbs



Back to the heavyweight division, and back to fighters who actually know they want to be here as a pair of big New Yorkers make their LIA debuts. "All-American" Weidman came out surprisingly flat in his last bout and was blown away by the superior workrate of his opponent, fellow LIA competitor Duke Nelson, but the heavy-handed boxer remains a talent to watch as he demonstrated in his debut for Deserted Fighting where he punched out an opponent with a reputation for a granite chin in less than two minutes. I actually thought his opponent was dead, but it turns out Snake Dickskin is still alive and kicking, or at least punching. A dirty boxer by trade, Dicksin may be too much to handle in the clinch, so Weidman may be better off out-fighting than taking the risk of engaging "Escape" at close range.


170 lbs



In a welterweight affair we see a clash of opposing ideologies with pot-soaked Eastern mysticism from Nepalese stoner Sativa Sensei playing the role of good against the unfortunate political affiliations of "The Last Nazi". Both men are grapplers primarily, and both submitted their opponents in their debut, although their skillsets aren't entirely identical. Wietzman is a purist (perhaps unsurprisingly) and should have stronger wrestling than his opponent, while Sensei has at least rudimentary boxing and might pose a danger to his opponent in the standing phase. Both seem equal on the mat with Sensei preferring an aggressive approach, throwing many submissions at the wall and waiting for one to stick while Weitzman is more methodical about working his way to a high-percentage finish.


265 lbs



The main card kicks off with a clash of heavyweights, both of whom have enjoyed success early in their Island careers. The American Jim Jones - no relation, as far as I know, but I wouldn't take any Kool-Aid he offers you just in case - boasts perhaps the most lethal kicks in the promotion but is no slouch in the boxing department either. None of his fights have made it out of the first round as he followed up a fair of trouncings with a loss at the hands of current Lighthouse headliner Cloud Strife. His opponent is Australian kickboxer Eric Sloan, as pure a striker as you'll find on the Island and undefeated after turning his opponent's face into a horror show with vicious clinch elbows in his debut. An early favorite for Fight of the Night, this bout features two men capable of landing a variety of fight-ending techniques and should keep the fans on the edge of their seat as a result.

Nam "The Fifth" Ho (3-0-0 MMA) vs. Nicolas Nico (2-0-0 MMA)


The main card continues with the only middleweight fight of the night, a striker-on-striker matchup with a good chance to produce a highlight reel finish. Undefeated Korean boxer Nam Ho is a sprawl and brawler of the old school, using a strong wrestling base to keep the match standing so he can pick his opponents apart with precision power punches. None of his three opponents has survived even a minute in the Octagon, an impressive feat against any level of competition even if his opponents are winless. Facing him will be the German dirty boxer Nicolas Nico, who hasn't been quite as quick a finisher but has still gotten the job done by TKOing both of his previous opponents. Nico has been very aggressive in bullying forward into the clinch so far in his career, a tactic that could prove very risky against a power-punching outfighter like "The Fifth" Ho, but if he can survive long enough at a distance he has the skillset to take over at close range. One way or the other, one of these two will most likely be sent to the canvas.

The co-main event tonight may very well serve as a title eliminator as the winner will be well positioned to face the winner of the next bout. That could prove particularly sweet for the American Dick Mahoney, whose only professional loss came at the hands of one of those men, Mattheus Knorr, and who would certainly appreciate an opportunity to avenge that setback. Of course, that would be getting ahead of current opponent, grappling specialist Ronaldo "BJJ King" Souza. For the Brazilian, a victory here would cement the high-level credentials he already established by becoming the Deserted Fighting welterweight champ in his professional debut. Souza's wrestling is his strongest suit as he has relentelessly achieved top position and worked to the back to lock in his preferred rear naked choke, while Mahoney is a power puncher who prefers to obliterate his opponents at close range. He might want to run and gun tonight however as he lacks the jiu-jitsu chops to deal with Souza on the ground and would expose himself to the Brazilian's powerful takedowns if he willingly enters the clinch.

Matheus Knorr (4-0-0 MMA) vs. Raphael "Hide" Lima (3-0-0 MMA)



Two of the top pound for pound fighters on the Island will square off for this main event, looking to become the inaugural Lebowski Island Achievers welterweight champion. Bahamanian Mattheus Knorr is one of several islanders looking to defend the region's honor in the ring and earned his title shot with a streak of four consecutive submission victories. Now, they do come with a caveat that three of four were against the same winless Korean wrestler, but the Island is small and competitors sometimes hard to come by, not to mention he was most dominant against his other opponent. As the record would indicate, Knorr is a pure grappler, combining strong wrestling with a wily and dangerous submission game. In this he is not dissimilar to his Brazilian opponent Raphael Lima as "Hide" is perhaps slightly less accomplished as a submission grappler but is likely the superior wrestler. He has faced slightly more difficult competition but is slightly less experienced, making this a very difficult fight to call.

Is coming for the 135lbers and the 145lbers.

 

Yogi Dutt is delighted to have landed on The Island and with a grinding debut win, has another fight booked and than is looking at clearing out the Featherweight division.

 

Once that is done they will have no choice but to open up the Bantamweight division, thus forcing Mike Tycoon to commission a Flyweight division.

 

Who wants it first ?

 

Form a queu because Yogi is not waiting around.

 

You got balls - prove it !!!

You da man - show it !!!

You got skills - don't make me laugh

 

Let's go

"The Last Nazi" Andreas Weitzman to LIA, Raffaele Cutolo

 

Who the fuck is that guy? Raffaele Cutolo..

I've defeated BJJ Brown Belt on the debut in LIA, than i won against 2 great boxers and received Sub Of The Night award two times..
And what about Cutolo ? He has defeated some shitty fighters and he got the title shot.

You are nothing Raffaele and you'll lose this fight against Mahoney,your shitty career will be destroyed soon..

 

I hope Ronaldo Souza or Me(Weitzman) will get the next title shot...
