Hardcore - Official Smack Talk Thread

[igorspb77]

It's very funny to look at genius recomendations of fair fights and the way to grow an org on that previous page, from a guy when just signed a new fighter just asked for 2 of the less capable opponents in division (would be like a fucking huge mismatch and easy win, but our genius manager there claims for fair fights only, curious at least), being the title holder and asking for huge periods of time to fight again and trying to escape the deserved contenders due to risk of loss.

 

Clearly HFC is not the place to lurk for free wins and try to dictate our game, different from you we take fair fights and contenders seriously. Even created fucking conspirancy theories trying to weaken my position in the org and relation with JW, based only on lies, saying that I have relations with guys I never talked in my life and was looking to do stuff that I never even imagined, things that just come out of the imagination from your kind of people. A disgusting human being to say the least, I don't know how you can not be ashamed to the things you do and the person you are, it's just shows even more that you are a big trash, not worth spending any more time.

[Rambo]

I suggested yall direct people here during the merger, I suggest against it til a mod cleans this off topic ish up (this post included).

 

Great thread w/ previews. Keep it rolling.

[Bleakardor]

No need for trash talk. The merger is happening. We'll take this in stride and be better for it.

[Django]

Thanks for a thorough update J.W. Very helpful.

[Bleakardor]

Sometimes these things happen with time to plan and prepare, other times it's a message out of the blue and a scramble to make things happen. I am glad to have helped clear the air and please, don't hesitate to follow up with any other concerns or suggestions during this process.

HFC 18 - Rodrigues x Slingin

Get ready for a record breaking night! This event will have record hype, record attendance, possible record fastest knockout, possible record first time back to back fights finished by flying knee within 5 seconds, possible record for…okay, okay I may be getting ahead of myself. The point remains, 5/09 will make HFC history. Here are the facts. On May 9th, in historic New York City, inside the thunderous Liberty Dome, we will be hosting the highest hyped fight in HFC history. Folks, it is going to be electric. The fire department will be on hand for safety; the Governor will be on hand in case someone's knockout is so awesome he needs to give away a key to the city, we got all the bases covered. HFC President sent me a message,- “We are thrilled, big news all around! We love to make history. Great thing about this record….we get to break it over and over again”. If things keep going the way they are currently going, then yes, HFC will be breaking its own hype and attendance records for a long time. Now, let's look at the cause of all this hype...THE FIGHTERS. We have a stacked card. Welterweight title is on the line, and we have action from top fighters across multiple divisions. Let's break down the night's top fights.

 

©Samuel "Minuano" Rodrigues (10-0) Vs. #1 Slash Slingin "The Catch Wrestler" (10-1) - 170lb Welterweight Championship Bout

Am I too bold to say this is a legit contender for fight of the year? NO, I am not too bold for saying this. We have an undefeated Champion facing his greatest challenge to date. #1 Contender Slash Slingin presents a unique challenge for the champion. Truthfully their fighting styles are quite similar. Both hold prestigious belts in bjj and both are great at wrestling. Both fighters also look to get by during standing exchanges, with hopes of getting the fight to the ground. What will happen in this fight? There's a chance the grappling will counteract and we will see these two stand and bang. However, I think we will get to see elite exchanges of grappling and some creative submission attempts. Why would one of them force the fight standing when they are both comfortable on the ground? Who knows though I am no expert in fight strategy. For the champ a win here would add to his already astounding resume. A loss, and talks of rematch would swirl immediately. Get your popcorn folks, the wait is over!

Prediction: Slash Slingin cuts up Rodrigues and wins the belt via vicious gnp in the 2nd round….And New

 

#3 Ron Burgundy (6-1) Vs. #1 Martin Alexander (7-2) - 205lb Light Heavyweight Bout

There's no backing your way to a title fight in the HFC. Our matchmakers do a phenomenal job of making sure top contenders square off. I love seeing two top contenders prepping for a life changing fight. Both these guys want the Wolf (Current Champ Aaron Wolf), but there's only one spot. After this fight we will know exactly who deserves to fill that slot. Ron Burgundy will be hoping to deliver bad news by way of vicious Muay Thai. Alexander is also quite skilled at Muay Thai. This could be a stand up battle here folks. However, Alexander is a blue belt in bjj, Burgundy is only a white belt. If this fight does go to the ground Burgundy could be in trouble.

Prediction: Great display of striking throughout the 1st round. In the 2nd round Alexander lands a take down and displays his bjj skills. Martin Alexander wins by 2nd round kimura.

 

#3 "Papa Nuts" Rooga Chooga (6-2) Vs. #10 Simeoni Jukola (5-0) - 185lb Middleweight Bout

Speaking of great storylines and themes, how about when a proven high ranked vet takes on an up and coming undefeated prospect? One of my favourite stories, and exactly what we have here. This fight is an absolute toss up. Both these dudes can flat out scrap. The winner of this may start thinking about a title shot. This is one of those rare fights where there is a ton to win, but whoever loses still is on a pretty solid spot. Rooga is very well rounded and will likely look to work all aspects of MMA during this bout. Simeoni is also very well rounded, but will be more comfortable grappling against Rooga. Look for this fight to be all over the place with both fighters getting some good licks in.

Prediction: Simeoni continues his unbeaten streak after winning a back and forth split decision brawl. Simeoni, makes a heartfelt speech post fight that brings himself and Joe Rogan to tears.

 

#3 "Natural" Mystic Marley (7-2) Vs. #1 Alan Ragasatria (7-3) - 135lb Bantamweight Bout

Another one that has all the makings of a title eliminator. #1 Contender Alan Ragasatria is hot right now. Coming off back to back finishes, a win here will almost surely (don’t call me that) land him a title shot. All that stands in his way is "Natural" Mystic Marley. Mystic is coming off a loss to #1 contender Jack Waller, but he has revamped his training and is looking more dangerous than ever. His coaches reported their best camp ever. It will need to be. Back to back losses Vs. #1 contender and #2 contenders will put you at the back of the line for a title shot. Conversely, a win here for Mystic and he is catapulted back into all the good discussions. Matchup wise it's a good one. Both fighters like to grapple, both can hang on the feet. I believe we will see more grappling than striking but look for action all over in this fight.

Prediction: Natural Mystic Marley has a great fight and gets a much needed win via 2nd round KO (Punches). The 135lb division becomes a bit more foggier.

 

Undercard

As usual a great display of talent on the HFC undercard. I have my eye on Shawn Michaels. He is an undefeated middleweight contender who has big aspirations. Also, shout out Scooter Bob, that dude knows how to party, he let me see what it was like to get suplexed...it wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it would be.

I expect lots of blood and some brutal KO’s throughout this undercard.

 

185 lbs Ademaro Dos Anjos (5-1) v Reagan Marley (6-4)

185 lbs Shawn Michaels (6-0) v Henry Wang (6-5)

205 lbs GP Life (4-1) v Anthony Rodgers (5-3)

135 lbs Chael Bisping (6-4) v Hale Stenburg (5-2)

170 lbs Scooter Bob (3-1)v Panca Pandu (1-2)

170 lbs Sergio Vargas (2-1) v Randy Randleman (2-1)

 

The HARDCORE Fighting Championship is so proud of all of their fighters. We also want to thank all the fans for their continued support, you make events like this possible. As usual...FIGHT ON!

HFC KO 3: CARVALEHO X AKI

 

Hello Montreal ! how are you doing? Well, it frankly does not matter because there is going to be a blast in your city in the next couple of days which is sure to be changing the mood and the feeling among all the MMA fanatics out here.Now some people who might not be the biggest MMA fans out here would say why would something like that happen all of a sudden? Well, my answer to you would be, because the outright best 350K organization is coming to town guys ! And if you still haven't got me then let me make this even easier, HFC is coming to town, to blow the mind of all the people who will join us in Hayashi's lounge on (8/5/20) and leave them speechless after witnessing the event because not only is HFC coming back to Montreal, but it is coming with a bang, as we have a massive title showdown lined up for you guys in the LIGHTWEIGHT division between the the two best and most dominant fighters in that division, and if you thought that is all then you just couldn't be more wrong, because other than that we also some massive fights with title implications in the future at LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT division in which whoever wins the fight would probably be challenging for the title next. And finally we also have some young and extremely talented fighters from all around the globe who are going to be battling it out, trying to make a name for themselves in this massive organization and therefore without any further delay let's see what we have got in store for you.

 

(UNDERCARD BOUTS)

 

Just as i said before tonight's event is not only about the big boys later on who are going to be fighting for the biggest rewards in the game (the title shot or the title itself), but, it is also for some of the new up and coming talents to shine on the big state as all of them would be desperate and hungry to prove their abilities to the management of HFC and show them that even they are potentially future title contenders who deserve to stay here at HFC for the long run as after the merger most of them could end up getting released, so in a way all of them fighting in the undercard is possibly fighting for their future at HFC and so there is sure to be some drama in all these fights and therefore let's get straight into what we have for you in the undercard.

 

1. "Zig Zag" Ziggy Ozbourne vs Issa Kassib (WELTERWEIGHT BOUT [170 LBS])

 

~ PREDICTION: ZIGGY OZBOURNE WINS VIA UNANIMOUS DECISION (ROUND 3)

 

2. Christopher "The Catastrophe" Graves vs Lauri Jukola (MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT [185 LBS])

 

~ PREDICTION: CHRISTOPHER GRAVES WINS VIA TKO (ROUND 2)

 

3. Adrian "The Last Stand" Petrov vs Pierre "447" Bonin (FEATHERWEIGHT BOUT [145 LBS])

 

~ PREDICTION: ADRIAN PETROV WINS VIA SUBMISSION (ROUND 2)

 

4. Ralo Gracie vs Tanaka Matsuda (MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT [185 LBS])

 

~ PREDICTION: RALO GRACIE WINS VIA SUBMISSION (ROUND 2)

 

5. Nathan "Soldier" Dylan vs Gvido "Met" Linda (WELTERWEIGHT BOUT [170 LBS])

 

~ PREDICTION: NATHAN DYLAN WINS VIA TKO (ROUND 2)

 

 

(MAIN CARD)

 

 

Now then, it is known by science, although i got to be honest i was of no good at it, that any big particle is made up of bits of small particles bunched up together and so in the same way the undercard served as the teaser or in terms of science the small particles bunching up together to set us up for the making of the one big particle or in this case the main card, which let me tell you is one exciting card to be looking forward to as their is not only a huge title fight in store for you, but, it also has some huge crunch matches in multiple divisions with direct title implication attached to each of them and therefore after my terrible lesson in science let's jump straight into the preview of the main card.

 

6. Habib "CHiken" Putins vs Kordell Harris (LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT [205 LBS])

 

Habib Putins is a wrestler and a submission artist who has had a very topsy turvy career to say the least as although he has a lot of success in fights which is fought mostly in the ground but, as soon as any decent striker comes face to face with him, on most of the times, he either get's knocked out cold or get's dominated and therefore it was on full on display in his previous fight as he got Knocked Out cold in his rematch with top #5 ranked Rakeem Marley who is a very capable striker in his own right.And therefore with a professional record of (6 wins 5 losses) he will be desperate to win this fight to get back to winning ways and prove to everyone that he can indeed win a fight against a good standup fighter.

 

But if he has the same problem against good strikers as he has had all his life then there might be a big problem as his opponent, Kordell Harris is predominantly a boxer who has been going through a rough patch lately as he is currently on a 3 fight losing streak although, against top class and high ranked fighters.He is a former 2x time (SMASH) LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT title challenger and was once considered one of the top contenders for the title at HFC but after a series of losses and a professional record of (4 wins 4 losses) he will look to win this fight to get his career back on track and prove all his doubters wrong who say that he is not the same fighter he was at (SMASH) anymore.

 

~ PREDICTION: KORDELL HARRIS WINS VIA TKO (ROUND 2)

 

7. Tommy "Sling" Bean vs Daniel "Dominator" Pawlik (MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT [185 LBS])

 

Now this fight is going to a classic as two completely opposite styles of fighting collide in the centre of the cage to determine the winner of the upcoming bout.

So, Tommy Bean is a Muay Thai specialist and one of the hottest future prospects out of the (185 LBS) division as he is an unbeaten profession MMA fighter who currently holds a record of (6 wins 0 losses) already in his rather short career up until now. He made a successful HFC debut in his previous fight against another lower ranked fighter in the MIDDLEWEIGHT division and since then people have been calling for him to get a tough fight next up against a top #10 ranked opponent but, just like any other clever guy he has played his cardly very intelligently as he knows that he needs to slowly build up momentum towards a high ranked matchup rather than a hasty fight with a very good opponent and therefore he will look to win this fight to continue his fantastic run of win and also slowly but surely take small steps toward that top #10 ranked fight to break into the rankings.

 

Now Daniel Pawlik, is the polar opposite of his opponent, as he is a submission specialist who likes to do most of his fighting on the ground as he is more comfortable there,and let me tell you this guy can make some brilliant submissions when he get's it right as proven with two (SUB OT NIGHT) awards to his name so far. He was once a title challenger for the (SMASH) MIDDLEWEIGHT where he unfortunately lost but, the bad news did not end there as it only got started, because since then his career has fallen off a cliff with wins coming few and far between and therefore with a professional record of (4 wins 6 losses) he will look to win this fight to finally kickstart his career once again and show everyone that he can still win fights at big organizations.

 

~ PREDICTION: TOMMY BEAN WINS VIA TKO (ROUND 1)

 

8. Daniel Yonic vs Harry "the mauler" Olsen (MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT [185 LBS])

 

When you talk about the fear of the unknown, it can be somewhat related to the skillsets of one Daniel Yonic, and i say this because he is a proper submission artist with a fantastic ground game as a result of which many of his opponents try as much as possible to avoid going to ground in a fight with him,but what happens to them? Well, they get knocked out. Yeah, you heard and saw that right, they get KO'ed, and all that is because his opponents concentrate so hard on not got going to ground with him, that they somehow forget that he can actually knock people out cold and therefore with a professional record of (7 wins 1 loss) he will want to win this fight to make a successful debut in his first real big organization(HFC) and show everyone that he can indeed handle the step up in quality of his opponents and actually be a title contender here one day.

 

Now, Harry Olsen has had a very different career to his opponent because, he has spent most part of his career here at (HFC or at SMASH) and therefore he has actually got some experience of being in some big fights already in his pretty young career, like the two fights against the now former (HFC) MIDDLEWEIGHT king Rob Tanner with one of the fights being for the (SMASH) [185 LBS] title. But, he unfortunately lost both the fights, which has been the story of his career really, winning the so called smaller fights and bottling it when it really matters in the big fights. And so with a professional record of (7 wins 3 losses) he will look to win this fight to continue his winning momentum and possibly look to challenge a top #10 ranked fighter up next.

 

~ PREDICTION: HARRY OLSEN WINS VIA TKO (ROUND 2)

 

(CO-MAIN EVENT)

 

And just like that we have arrived to the co-main event of the evening, boy! it was a quick ride towards this fight wasn't it? But don't be disheartened at all because for some of you guys, this is probably the part where the event actually starts and therefore without wasting any more time let's get to the preview of the penultimate fight of the evening.

 

9. Felix Silva vs Rakeem "Jamaican Beast" Marley (LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT [205 LBS])

 

This fight can quite easily be termed as the LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT title eliminator fight because in this fight, two of the top #4 ranked guys will be battling each other to quite possibly be the next no #1 contender to the [205 LBS] title, and therefore without any further adieu let's see exactly what we have coming for you in this very tasty looking co-headliner for the evening.

 

You might see some fighters in the game who start off their careers on a massive high, but then start to fade as they get tougher fighter later on in their careers but, in the case of Felix Silva, it is the exact opposite,he started off his career in the worst possible way with 2 losses out of 2, but then he learned from his mistakes and the rest as we say is history. He is currently on a 7 fight win streak (MADNESS MMA and HFC combined) and therefore with a professional record of (7 wins 2 losses) he will look to win this fight to book himself as the next challenger for the title, whenever that may be and also extend his winning streak to further establish himself as one of the best LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT's to fight here at HFC.

 

Now Rakeem Marley is a boxer who is one of the top #5 ranked fighters here in HFC although, there might be a lot of question asked of him about that ranking because you can see his professional record (5 wins 1 loss) all you want, and people will say that yeah, #4 on the rankings is good but, what that record does not show is the amount of big fights he has been a part of against top fighters. And do you guys want to how many of those fights he has been a part of? Well, the answer is none and that will be a big factor in this upcoming fight but anyways, he would still want to win this fight to prove everyone wrong who thinks that he is the clear underdog in this fight, including me and become the outright no #1 contender to the title.

 

~ PREDICTION: FELIX SILVA WINS VIA TKO (ROUND 2)

 

(MAIN EVENT)

 

 

Now there is a reason why the final fight of the evening is called the main event of the evening. Yes, there is a reason for it. Which is that, this is the fight that people wait in queues for hours to buy tickets for, this is the fight that people actually come to this event to see and cheer their lungs out for. Now, enough of explanation let's see what we have in store for you.

 

10. Jose "Macaco" Carvaleho vs Purple "The Eagle" Aki (LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE BOUT [155 LBS])

 

Title fights need no explanation really as it only really takes place between 2 deserving competitors who have beaten all their remaining challengers to rightfully battle it out between themselves to determine the deserving champion.And so here we go!

The challenger Purple Aki is a submission specialist but, has also got very decent striking as proved if you watch his professional record of (8 wins 1 loss) [5 Tko's]. He was a former title challenger in (SMASH) where he unfortunately lost to Shay O Donnelly, his only lost till date and therefore his dream of winning a title was halted there and there but, now he has got a second bite at the cherry at an even bigger organization and therefore he will look to win this fight to accomplish his lifelong dream of winning a title at a major organization and also show everyone that he has matured a lot and come a long way since that last defeat in a title fight.

Now, the brand new HFC lightweight king and arguably the best submission artist in all of HFC, Jose Carvaleho is a guy who let's just say, has travelled around in different organization quite a bit in his very young career as he has been at (BFC) and also the ISLAND season 10 but he never really got the recognition he was craving for and therefore when he finally arrived at HFC there was a lot of hype surrounding him and to be fair to him, he has proven to everyone that the hype was there for a reason and so in his very second fight in HFC, he ended up winning the title and now with a professional record of (12 wins 4 losses) he will be desperate to win this fight to obviously retain his title, and also continue to build a legacy in HFC as the best LIGHTWEIGHT fighter ever to step foot in HFC.

 

~ PREDICTION: JOSE CARVALEHO WINS VIA UNANIMOUS DECISION (ROUND 5) [RETAINS TITLE]

 

 

AND SO WITH THAT, WE WILL COME TO AN END TO ANOTHER GREAT EVENT THAT HFC HAS IN STORE FOR YOU,

AND SO, I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED THE PREVIEW AND

UNTIL NEXT TIME STAY SAFE AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.

 

[robin10]

For this weeks fighter write up we have chosen a Madness Fighter who will be making his way to HFC very soon. Please welcome Massive Wanker. https://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=350070

Massive Wanker; More than just a Name

When president J.W. Hardman told me my next assignment was to interview Madness Super Heavyweight Champion Massive Wanker, I was terrified. I didn't know much about the man, except that he was undefeated, that he was absolutely massive (he stands 7 feet three inches tall (225 cm) and weighs almost 300 pounds) and that his name implies he may be a jerk. Within about 30 seconds of meeting Massive I realized his name had absolutely no effect on the person he became. He was truly a gentleman. He answered all my questions, and even told me to call him if I ever see my childhood (current) bully again. I asked the champ a few questions about his life, his upcoming fight and his thoughts on the Madness and HFC merger.

 

Hi Massive, great that we get to sit down and do this, tell me about how you found Martial Arts.

To be honest it found me. Growing up in London people love to fight. When your name is Massive Wanker, you’ve already given them more than enough reason to fight you. Everyday I left my house I was anticipating a fight. Towards my later teen years, I was well known and respected in London. The street fights became less often but every now and then an out of towner or a drunky would square up. Eventually I started training, I mean I was fighting everyday I figured I should probably learn some proper technique. Valentina’s Ass saw one of my amatuer fights and took me under his wing. I have been training and living in Las Vegas ever since.

 

Your name is a statement in itself, how do you feel about it?

Yeah my parents have a sick sense of humour. I wont get into my childhood, family history or why they named me this, but yes, with a name like this, and the fact I am a massive individual, anytime I am around, you will know it. I embrace it, I am a massive wanker, and my name is Massive Wanker. If you show me respect, I will show you more, but if you show me disrespect, I will bash you.

 

Madness merging with HFC, one fight left for you under the Madness banner. Everyone knows what is at stake; a shot in Madness HOF, a chance to hold the Madness 265+ Super Heavyweight title for eternity, and a guaranteed shot at the HFC 265+ Super Heavyweight title when the Madness/HFC merger takes place this summer. That being said, any difference in how you are prepping for this fight?

This is all pretty crazy for me. 3 years ago I was in London fighting in the streets. Now I am being mentioned as a HOF candidate, it's just all surreal man. Am i worthy? I think so. I am also very willing to prove it. Come 5/16 I’ll be in the middle of the cage ready to fight. Whatever time and date my name is called next, I will be there too. I am only 21 years old, not time for me to get lost in legacy and HOF. Much respect to Madness and all it has done for me, now it is time to lock in and keep working. HFC is where I will be rewarded for all this hard work.

 

Looking at your record, you currently stand 7-0, any of those fights stand out?

They’ve all been pretty epic haha. That first QFC fight, I was sooo nervous. Valentina’s Ass was in the locker room with me just calming me down. Don’t know if I could have gotten into that cage if Valentina’s Ass wasn't there supporting me. Of course the back to back fights with Vasquez were pretty epic. But you know the old adage, only one fight matters and that is your next. I am locked in on Antonio Nagashima, he is the only fight that matters.

Your manager Valentina’s Ass is a legend, he has a stable of top tier fighters and champions. How is your relationship with him?

Yeah he is the best. I mean you hear the rumours about how he gets the most out of his fighters and you assume a lot of it is just hype but it is all true. He goes the extra mile for all of us. Flights, equipment, gyms, everything, whatever you need, you get. No surprise he manages so many champions. Pure excellence plain and simple. I simply focus on what I need to do, he lets me know exactly what that is, and EVERYTHING else is taken care of.

 

If you could fight one person out there who would it be?

One day, I want the p4p title, one day… I am not there yet. Now if I could fight anyone..., I don't know, someone fun. Really, I should say my next opponent, Antonio Nagashima, but I’ll get to fight him either way. I’d do a fun fight, there are stories of tribes in the Amazons who are masters of hand to hand combat. Often times villages will have champions that battle other local villages. I’d go there and challenge one of the village’s local legends, just see how we match up.

Any comments to your fans out there struggling or facing adversity?

Of course, first off, if a massive wanker like me can pull something together so can you. Be yourself, love yourself for who you are. F**K everyone else, if they are worthy they will see your worthiness. If they challenge you, accept, if you fail, try harder. It will get easier, the hard part is continuing to try.

 

Well Thank you Massive Wanker, it has been a pleasure getting to know you. I really cannot wait for your next fight. I will be there cageside as usual, anything special I should look out for?

Benjamin, glad we could catch up, I am excited about joining the HFC. President Hardman called me to introduce himself which I thought was very classy. As far as this next fight, look for relentless fight from a young man who wants to show the world what he is capable of. I am Massive Wanker, this is my destiny. I have no choice but to forge forward as hard as I can.

 

Beautiful words from a beautiful massive man. I was terrified to take this interview with Massive Wanker, but I am so happy I did. I made a new friend and have a new badass to call when I get picked on. Everyone at the HFC is thrilled to have Massive Wanker on board and will be anticipating his debut this summer. As usual fight fans...Fight ON!

[HareRumpler]

Great stuff!

[Bleakardor]

Thanks BH! Another great one!

 

On a side note, anyone here interested in a job of making Event Flyers for HFC? We can negotiate pay, but I am looking for someone to be able to do up to 2 event flyers per week.

[Rambo]

Thanks BH! Another great one!

 

On a side note, anyone here interested in a job of making Event Flyers for HFC? We can negotiate pay, but I am looking for someone to be able to do up to 2 event flyers per week.

In mean time, if you do not already, hire people to make "default HFC event posters". Maybe 2-8 designs you just rotate from event to event if you don't have somebody that can make an exclusive one for that event in time.

 

And you will never have an event without a poster again as long as you remember to upload.

[Bleakardor]

Yeah, I have a generic HFC one but I think it was the old 355k one. I stopped using it. I will try to make a few today to get us by, but still looking for a "professional" so to speak.

 

And, if someone wants to make some flyers, I will gladly buy them to use in that rotation. Thanks for the tip, Mr. Karter.

HFC 18: Rodrigues X Slingin (REVIEW)

Well, well, well, The last time i made a preview/review, i can't really remember, I said a line which has been echoed by a lot of people recently, Be it managers, organization owners or any other human being, everyone is well aware of the steady growth of HFC in recent weeks, and although there has been massive criticism put upon our owner Mr. JW Hardman by some of the critics due to our latest merger with MADNESS MMA, he has always kept his focus firmly on his goal, a goal of making HFC the best organization in the game, and therefore he has always been trying to make this an even better organization than it currently is, and so, when the results of the previous event came, which showed, that HFC has had it's record sales and record hype and has now moved into the top 8 in the rankings, it just further solidified the beliefs of all the managers in this great organization that whatever JW says, by hook or by crook, he will make it happen.Now, let's put aside all the serious stuff for now, cause i have got a massive surprise for all you guys today. Do ya'll wanna know what is it? Yes? Okay, let's see it then.

 

So time for the reveal, Aaaaand! we have donkey's takeaway guys! Straight out of Sucker Punch into HFC specially to get us through this historic event for HFC. And so as we now have our special guest, there is nothing left to wait for, therefore let's get straight into the action here.

 

Donkey: Hey man! come on, talk less bro, it's starting to cause me a headache.

 

Matty: whispering and speaking to himself ("O my life, this is going to be one long review.)

 

(UNDERCARD BOUTS)

 

Now, undercards are supposedly not seen as the most watchable fights of the event, But, guys let me tell you, if you missed the first 5 fights of this event, well, let me tell you, you missed some fun and action, cause there were 4 KO finishes out of 5 to start us off, and so,without further adieu let's get the event rolling.

 

1. Randy Randleman vs "The Demon" Sergio Vargas (WELTERWEIGHT BOUT [170 LBS])

 

Donkey's takeaway: Round 1: This fight was supposed to have been a wrestler vs a boxer match, and so apart from the finish it pretty much went to plan, as Sergio dominated the standup part of the fight (aka) the entire first round round, but then, due to a slight loss of concentration he got rocked by a Left hand punch from Randy who then ended up following through with a series of strikes to end the fight.

Honestly, if you ask me this should have been an easy win for Vargas had he not had that blip in round 2 as Randy was not getting much joy in the clinches and takedown attempts. But hey, it is what it is right? so we move on.

 

~ RESULT: RANDY RANDLEMAN WINS VIA TKO[PUNCHES] (ROUND 2)

2. Scooter Bob vs Panca Pandu (WELTERWEIGHT BOUT [170 LBS])

 

Matty: So this fight...

Donkey: Hey! what are you doing man? Come on! are you brainless? I was brought in to do this not you, so take a breather.

 

Matty: whispering to himself again (Why on earth did i say it was going to be a long review, You absolute idiot! it's going to be a long day, no! long month, no! long year, yes! cause this guy is going to haunt me in my dreams by screaming at me for a whole damn year. Lord save me.)

 

Donkey's takeaway: Round 1: This was supposed to be a striker vs striker matchup and therefore not many people expected the fight going to the judges, and so when it ended in the first round not many were surprised by the outcome really, cause it was almost as if it was meant to be. But looking at the fight, Scooter Bob had an obvious advantage in the clinch and therefore he used it to full effect as, right from the start of the round he clinched with Panca and never really let go until the huge uppercut which rocked Panca which was followed up by a barrage of unanswered strikes which ended the fight.

This fight went as it was expected really, so not much to talk about except the great Knock out though, I loved it!

 

~ RESULT: SCOOTER BOB WINS VIA TKO[sTRIKES] (ROUND 1)

 

3. Hale "Grinder" Stenburg vs Chael "Badman" Bisping (BANTAMWEIGHT BOUT [135 LBS])

 

Donkey's takeaway: Round 1: This was built up as a fight among two strikers, but let me tell you, don't ever go by someone's abilities while predicting a fight, cause 90% of the time they will end up doing something in the fight that is going to catch everyone off guard, and therefore something similar happened in this one too, as ever since the bell rang to start the fight, Stenburg clinched with Bisping and started striking from the clinch throughout the round and also took him down for good measure, but although Bisping managed to Break the clinch and Standup from the takedown, he was thoroughly dominated for the entire first round.

 

Round 2: Round 2 started off from where they left at round 1 really as Stenburg again managed to clinch and take Bisping down to the ground, this time twice but just like before Bisping got back up on the feet again towards the end of the round, and from there on, nothing much took place to be honest.

 

Round 3: Now this was an interesting round as it opened with Bisping forcing a cut to open up on Stenburg with a crisp one-two punch but then, normal service resumed, as Stenburg got his rythem back and clinched with Bisping again, but this time, he managed to cut open Bisping with a massive elbow shot and from there on, after scoring another takedown Stenburg controlled the round till the end of the fight.

 

Well the tactics from Stenburg took me by surprise as he utterly dominated this fight by using a type of fighting style he is not the greatest at, which is Muay Thai.

 

~ RESULT: HALE STENBURG WINS VIA UNANIMOUS DECISION (ROUND 3)

 

4. GP Life vs Anthony Rodgers (;IGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT [205 LBS])

 

Donkey's takeaway: Round 1: I might have said in the previous fight that, you can never predict a fight while looking at the fighters abilities, but just for this fight, i take it back. Because in this one there was literally no chance of either one even attempting a takedown cause these two just want to brawl, and that is exactly what happened as Anthony came out all guns blazing from the off but GP's clever mind, patience and razor sharp counter strikes won him this fight, as he ended it with one massive hook that put Anthony to sleep for good.

 

This fight was expected to have somebody knocked out cold at the end of it, and that's exactly what happened, so this fight was as it was supposed to be really.

 

~ RESULT: GP LIFE WINS VIA KO (PUNCH) [ROUND 2]

 

5.The "Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels vs Henry "Taekwondo Kid" Wang (Middleweight Bout[185LBS])

 

Donkey's takeaway: Round 1: This fight was a classic grappler vs striker matchup and therefore almost as soon as the bell rang and the grappler took the striker down, guess what happened? Yeah, the grappler bossed the entire fight till the finish when the referee had to intervene and stop the fight due to the massive ground and pound unleashed on the striker, who was clueless as to what to do on the ground to be honest.

 

This fight started and ended just like words written in a script really, as, Shawn who is a fantastic Grappler absolutely dominated Henry for the entire duration of the fight, and finished him in ruthless fashion, exactly how it was meant to happen if the fight had gone to the ground, which it did.

 

~ RESULT: SHAWN MICHAELS WINS VIA TKO[sTRIKES] (ROUND 1)

 

Donkey: Hey! where is my lunch?

 

Matty: Huh? How am i supposed to know that? Ask your bodyguard, he might know.

 

Donkey: You invited me, so you are supposed to get the lunch.

 

Matty: But i don't have my chef present in the house at the moment.

 

Donkey: So make it yourself, i will be waiting.

 

Matty: Whispering (THIS GUY!)

 

 

(MAIN CARD)

 

Wow! honestly wow, man what a way to start off the event, 4 out of 5 finishes that too early in the first and second rounds, boy, JW definitely had his work cut out to determine the KO of the night, looking at the undercard fights,But! that was just the undercard guys, the real fun begins now and therefore without any delay let's see what we have in store for you guys in the (Main card), and to do that we have our special guest back for some more thoughts on the fights, so Donkey, take it away!

 

6.Ademaro"Mr.10th Planet"Dos Anjos vs Reagen"The Reggae Ginga"Marley(middleweight bout[185 lbs])

 

Donkey's takeaway: Round 1: This fight was expected to be a grappling match if anything, cause both the fighters are really good in their ground game and therefore as soon as Marley took the fight to the ground and Ademaro started to use sub attempts from the bottom, you could already see how this fight was going to go all along, and therefore i was not to surprised to see the entire round being fought on the ground with both using various submissions to make their opponents tap out, but neither succeeded and so with that the round came to a close.

Round 2: In this round though, the dynamics of the fight changed completely

changed as Ademaro suddenly changed his tactics to becoming a striker all of a sudden, which gave out instant results as Marley suffered a cut due to taking a massive right hand on the button from Ademaro, but that was not all as 1 and a half minutes into round 2, Marley was rocked by a huge head kick from Ademaro and from then on he just ended up smashing Marley with huge strikes which forced the ref to stop the fight and thus ending the fight.

 

This fight, i have got to be honest here, was not the most entertaining fight i have seen today, but nonetheless the second round was good though, and finally that head kick stole the show for me.

 

~ RESULT: ADEMARO DOS ANJOS WINS VIA TKO[sTRIKES] (ROUND 2)

 

Matty: So, How was the food donkey?

 

Donkey: It was not that good to be honest, but it had just about enough quality to be eaten by a human being. This is just about all the good things i can say about it.

 

Matty: Bro!..

 

Donkey: Were you saying something?

 

Matty: Anger boiling in him. (No! sir! i was not!)

 

Donkey: Are you sure? (A smug smile on his face)

 

Matty: In his mind (I am gonna kill him, i am gonna kill him!).

Matty: Back to reality (Yes).

 

7. "Natural" Mystic Marley vs Alan Ragasatria (BANTAMWEIGHT DIVISION [135 LBS])

 

Donkey's takeaway: Round 1: So, i have got a question for you guys. What do you expect when a wrestler fights a submission artist? Here's my answer, i will expect the wrestler to take the submission artist down and then the submission artist to finish the fight with one of his various submissions in his arsenal. But, in this fight, things did not turn out that way at all. As Ragasatria (the Submission specialist) was the one to take Marley(the wrestler) down first and naturally for Alan, if he takes someone down he always tries submissions, and so this fight was no different but, after a referee standup due to inactivity from both, Marley tried to even things out as he got a takedown of his own and controlled the round from there and thus with that the first round came to a close.

 

Round 2: The second round was probably the most boring one of the entire event, because other than Marley scoring another takedown at the start of the round, nothing else happened in this round really, well, except from a few strikes from top position by Ragasatria. And so that ended round 2.

 

Round 3: Just like the previous round Marley started off this round with yet another takedown and from there on once again, controlled Ragasatria and bossed him for the entire round, but this time Ragasatria did show some heart and tried a few sub attempts from the bottom, but even with that, Marley completely bossed the fight and showed his class, therefore with that the fight came to a close.

 

This fight was not even close, as Marley completely outclassed Ragasatria in the ground and made him look like a rookie really, so i was really impressed with Marley's performance, although, i would like him to be more active on the ground.

 

~ RESULT: MYSTIC MARLEY WINS VIA UNANIMOUS DECISION (ROUND 3)

 

Donkey: Mate!

 

Matty: To himself (O god! not again.)

Matty: Yes?

 

Donkey; My head is starting to pain a little bit from doing the review. Can you message it?

 

Matty: To himself (That's it ! This guy is officially dead after the review is over, I am really sorry Hare, but this guy won't return in one piece to (SUCKER PUNCH).

And so with that let's move on.

 

8. "Papa Nuts" Rooga Chooga vs Simeone Jukola (MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT [185 LBS])

 

Donkey's takeaway: Round 1: If any of you guys watching, are fans of looking at fights between closely matched opponents, Believe me, this is the one fight you should look at, cause other than Chooga's superior Muay Thai, they are as closely matched as any and therefore it showed in the fight too, with both of them suffering cuts caused by their opponents and ironically enough, both the cuts were due to uppercuts.Then although Chooga tried to clinch with Jukola to use his superior Muay Thai, Jukola was having none of it, so he swiftly broke up any effort of Chooga trying to clinch with him, but, the round well and truly belonged to jukola, as he produced a masterclass of striking in this round, managing his reach and accuracy perfectly and so with that round 1 came to a close.

 

Round 2: Now this was a crazy round to say the least as, after breaking yet another clinch attempt from Chooga, Jukola rocked him with a huge uppercut, but then, just when it looked like Jukola was going to finish Chooga, after a momentary loss of concentration, he himself got rocked with a massive shot to the head and then grabbing his opportunity with both hands,Chooga finished the fight with yet another massive right hand punch, followed up by another shot which forced the referee to stop the match and thus end the fight.

 

According to me Jukola was the better all around fighter, until that lapse of concentration cost him dear, but fair play to Rooga Chooga, he took his opportunity and as they say, in this sport, it does not really matter how you win, but what matters is that you win.

 

~ RESULT: ROOGA CHOOGA WINS VIA KO[PUNCH] (ROUND 2)

 

(CO-MAIN EVENT)

 

Matty: Mate! this was a short yet great fight wasn't it?

 

Donkey: I will love the message more at the moment, to be honest.

 

Matty: CO-MAIN EVENT! MATE! FOCUS!

 

Donkey: Okay, Okay, Geez!

 

And with that we finally find ourselves in the penultimate fight of the evening, Now although this fight serves as the starter before the main course, it sure as hell one good fight, and therefore let's take a look at it.

 

9. Martin "Risk Taker" Alexander vs Ron Burgundy (LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT [205 LBS])

 

Donkey's takeaway: Round 1: Now this was a fight between two highly talented and very evenly matched Muay thai Strikers, although Martin did have an advantage with his better boxing, and that is what came to his aid in the fight as round 1 started with Ron Burgundy being sliced open with a massive uppercut from Martin, then after a few failed clinches between both, Martin landed a massive right hand punch which sent Burgundy crashing to the mat, and from there on, it was a one way show as Martin then, after a few more strikes landed another massive blow to the jaw of Ron, knocking him out cold and thus ending the fight.

Now this was a very even match between the two until the first knockdown, and from there on well, Martin deservingly won the fight fair and square.

 

~ RESULT: MARTIN ALEXANDER WINS VIA KO[PUNCH] (ROUND 1)

 

(MAIN EVENT)

 

So after all the drama filled fights in tonight's event, it's finally time to bring you the fight that you all have been eager for, live from the (Liberty dome) in New York, USA, it's time for the main event of the evening and so without any further delay, let's jump straight into it.

 

10. Slash Slingin "The Catch Wrestler" vs Samuel "Minuano" Rodrigues (WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT[170 LBS])

 

Donkey's takeaway: Honestly, every round in this fight was just like an instant replay of the first one and therefore i will describe all five rounds at the same time.

 

ROUNDS 1,2,3,4,5: So, this fight started of with Slingin shooting in a perfect takedown on Rodrigues and then it went on with Samuel trying various types of submissions off his back, ultimately unsuccessfully, and Slingin maintaining top position and getting some of his own submission attempts along with a few strikes in from time to time which did the trick in the 3rd round as Rodrigues has a cut due to some strikes from the top by Slingin, and that was all, well, it's not great, but it was a decent start to a first round, but little did we know that the rest of the rounds would be the exact same of this one, with Slingin getting a takedown in the opening seconds of each round and then controlling and pacing the fight to his own liking from there on. And so, just like that, the main event came to a close.

 

I think the better guy definitely won the fight as Slingin completely dominated all 5 rounds of the fight, but, the most impressive thing about tonight's fight was, the defence of Slingin, as he well and truly thwarted all the efforts of a submission by Samuel, so that definitely got my attention, other than that, there was not much to talk about here other than congratulation to Slingin on winning the (170 lbs)

title.

 

~ RESULT: SLASH SLINGIN WINS VIA UNANIMOUS DECISION (ROUND 5) [NEW 170 LBS CHAMPION]

 

And so with that, another great event came to an end, i hope you guys enjoyed the review,

Matty: And special thanks to Donkey, who took time out to come here and do this review with us, i enjoyed working with you, and would love to have you back someday to work with me again.

 

Donkey: I wish i could say the same for you.

 

Matty: Spoke too soon. I take it back, get out! (in a playful way). But honestly, i would love to have him back soon.

 

Thanks everyone for joining me, and until next time, have a great day.

Enjoy the review guys.

HFC 19 - Qanar vs Vanorden

Hello my Hardcore faithful. We are back in full force in beautiful Montreal at the amazing Expo Arena. As usual, we are expecting a sell out crowd. Among our HFC faithful at the event we are expecting Canadian Celebrities such as Pamlea Anderson, Ryan Reynolds, Jim Carrey and the Nelk Boys. The HFC is experiencing hyper growth at the moment. Folks we just cracked the top 10, I repeat we just cracked the top 10. We predicted this would happen by the end of the summer. Technically our projections were right as the southern hemispheres summer is just ending. But yes, even the internal HFC team was a bit surprised in our epic rise. Have trust, we are prepared. Many MADNESS fighters are already making their way to the HFC roster, some even debuting on this card. President J.W. has been great about sending out league updates. See the forums and emails for official company updates regarding the merger. We will continue to put on great events week after week during this transition. Once things are settled expect some HUGE cards.

Lets jump right into this card's top fights.

Dro Qanar (7-2) Vs. #8 Bruce "Lights out" Vanorden (6-2) - 205lb Light Heavyweight Bout

Rankings aside this is a huge fight. J.W. announced rankings will be updated as more fighters make their transition from MADNESS to HFC. In the meantime fights like this have huge implications. When those rankings do roll out, recent fights will have major impacts. Two studs with top ten potential. Dro Qanar is just 21 years old, already has 9 fights and all of them took place in the well respected MADNESS. This kid can fight, he’s got a real bright future in the HFC. His opponent, Bruce "Lights out" Vanorden will look to live up to his name. He is coming off of back to back losses but has a new manager and a whole new take on things. “I feel great, new manager, new gym, new me. Perfect timing for me as the HFC is taking off; honestly I like Dro, but he’s in my way,... sorry bud”. Tough words Bruce who is also just 21 years old and has an impressive 8 fights completed. This could be a tough matchup for Dro, as Bruce should have the advantage in the stand up game. Dro will have to get this fight to the ground to have a real chance.

Prediction: Bruce "Lights out" Vanorden flips the switch on Dro and finishes him with a brutal KO in the 2nd round. An emotional Bruce credits his new manager for his success and says he wants a top 5 contender next.

 

#6 Feaqeuin "Bizi" Bizihwaeile (9-4) Vs. #7 Vernon "H.G." Wells (6-2) - 185lb Middleweight Bout

Another great fight featuring two fighters both only 21 years of age. Vernon Wells hails from New Zealand, it is there, where he initially learned his ferocious Muay Thai. Vernon will look to put that Muay Thai on display against Feaqeuin "Bizi" Bizihwaeile. Feaqeuin or “Bizi” as his friends and fans call him is quite capable of standing and exchanging. More know for his boxing rather than Muay Thai, he will look to weather Vernons’s strikes and land some himself. Bizi is quite skilled in wrestling as well so he may look for a takedown at some point. A great fight with huge implications moving forward. Though both fighters show great potential, the winner of this one will be sniffing the top 5 very soon.

Prediction: Bizi endures 2 rounds of nasty standup exchanges before landing a big takedown in the 3rd round. Bizi beats up Vernon pretty bad for the whole 3rd round but cannot finish him. The judges rule the fight a Split decision victory in favour of Vernon "H.G." Wells. Bizi calls for a rematch on twitter, Vernon responds “Meet me at my house”.

#5 Shay "Irish" O Donnelly (12-5) Vs. #4 Marco "Conmigo" Silva (7-3) - 155lb Lightweight Bout

Couple of wiley vets duking it out. Both of these guys have been around the block, each having double digit fights in reputable fighting organizations (SMASH and HFC). Both fighters are riding losing streaks, this will happen when you are consistently facing top level fighters in the top of the rankings. Now, one will break their losing streak and one will add to it. All things considered this is a huge fight. Shay wants to stand and box, Marco will likely agree and showcase his Muay Thai. I have that feeling one of these fighters is going night night. Each corner should bring a blanky for safety.

Prediction: We see an epic 1st round where both fighters get cut. The fast paced action carries into the 2nd round where Marco Silva clips Shay with a nasty left hook. Shay goes to sleep, the blanky gets put to good use.

#4 Teshima "Nightingale" Shigochiyo (5-2) Vs. #3 "Bombshell" Sonny Gilchrist (7-2) - 145lb Featherweight Bout

Stylistically this is one of the most exciting fights of the night. Both fighters bring in brown belts along with developing stand up games. Fights like these will be clear stepping stones in the featherweight division. Expect lots of grappling, maybe the occasional jab between takedown and clinch attempts. I am expecting somewhere north of 65 total subs attempts...

Prediction: A back and forth glorified bjj match, these two guys leave everything in the octagon. 3 rounds of elite level grappling. Thousands of submission attempts later and one finally lands, in the final seconds, Teshima "Nightingale" Shigochiyo diffuses "Bombshell" Sonny Gilchrist with a life altering neck crank. Sony is rushed to hospital, after hours of uncertainty, doctors announce he is expected to make a full recovery.

Undercard

What an undercard. Absolutely stacked. As usual we will keep an eye on all the fights below; these fighters are eligible for performance bonuses! I always like to watch our super heavyweights battle; we will have 600 pounds of killing machines going at it when Matthaus Gold faces Li Qiang. The HFC has confirmed they are using their specially designed reinforced cage for this night of fights due to those fighters massiveness.

[Bleakardor]

Welcome HARDCORE fans!

We had another great night of fights tonight, and overall the longest lasting event in HFC history in HFC 19 - Qanar vs Vandoren!

In front of 5000 screaming fans, fighters from the HFC as well as some newcomers from both Madness MMA and recently signed prospects threw down their gauntlets and put it all on the line. A show to make ancient Romans jealous, these gladiators went above and beyond tonight.

We saw brutal KO's, slick submissions, a fight so close that the judges couldn't determine a winner, leading to a draw, and not one, or even two, but four decisions left in the hands of the judges. Not the way I like to do business, I like my fighter to take the outcome into their own hands by finishing, but sometimes, the other guy is just another hardcore tough SoB that has no desire to end up on his back.

So without further ado, a quick review of tonight's fights!

205 Dro Qanar DEF Bruce Vanorden (Main Event) Fight of the Night

Our main event of the evening featured Dro Qanar, a long time Madness standout making his bid at a contender spot for the recently vacated championship by the former champ, Aaron "The Runaway Prince" Wolf, and Vanorden, a hungry young fighter who after a quick start found himself with back to back losses and trying to rebound under new management.

In the tale end of round one, Qanar caught Vanorden with a big uppercut putting Vanorden on this ass. Clearly dazed, Vanorden makes his way back to his feet at the bidding of Qanar, seconds later, Vanorden is down again. Again, Qanar waves him to his feet only to knock him down a third time.

Not sure if he should have followed him to the ground and finished off Vanorden then and there, but after somehow surviving that first round, Vanorden fought his way back, cut his opponent, and made it a competitive fight again in the 2nd.

In the third round, Qanar changed things up and from the clinch, dropped the fight to the ground and started working in some BJJ working in nine submission attempts in the final round and controlling the fight from the ground.

Leaving the fight to the judges, Qanar walks away with a unanimous 29:28 decision victory over Vanorden. A dominating performance by Qanar, but despite the loss, Vanorden showed that he's as hardcore as they come, and I look to see him get back up and turn this ship around.

185 Vernon Wells DEF Feaqeuin Bizihwaeile (KO of the Night)

"Bizi" off a loss to former champion Wolf found himself in a new weight class facing a new foe. Vernon Wells with equally as impressive accomplishments in the cage was ready to welcome him to the division.

In a bout predicted to remain standing until one man was put to sleep, this fight did not disappoint as a devastating knee from Wells did exactly that.

Wells looked like the more impressive striker of the two limiting Bizi to only landing just over 30% of his strikes while landing closer to 70% of his own. To add to the impressive display, he mixed his strikes up very nicely throwing a wide variety of strikes from rang and the clinch.

Bizi fought his ass off and didn't seem to worried about the loss here as in his post fight interview he was referring back to "Skitters" in which he referred to the former Wolf of HFC.

155 Shay O Donnelly DRAW Marco Silva

In one of our most experienced fights, O'Donnelly vs Silva was set to be a war, and a war it was. These two fighters have a combined 19 wins between them leading into this fight, and they put that experience to work.

O'Donnelly was far more aggressive from range, but less accurate than Silva, and Silva dominated the clinch. This fight never went to the ground, as expected. This is one of those times that you have nobody to blame but yourself for not finishing the fight, and you could say this one cost either fighter depending on how you scored the bout.

Unfortunately, the judges couldn't determine a winner and the fight was called a Draw.

145 Teshima Shigochiyo DEF Sonny Gilchrist

In a nearly pure BJJ match, as predicted by our very own BH, this was a beautiful display of ground work between two grappling machines. The only miss on his prediction was the end being via a nasty tap out... Neither of these fighters was willing to submit, both probably have ligament damage, and only one would be satisfied with the result.

As the judges scored it, a unanimous decision for the winner, Teshima Shigochiyo.

170 Dixon Ulster DEF Herlock Von Ryan

This fight pitted two warriors with some well rounded skills against each other as Von Ryan took on Ulster to make their bid for the upcoming post-merger rankings.

Another fight without a finish, these two refused to give up. We had a beautiful display of a fight that was all over the place. Strikers slugging it out from range, Ulster pushing the envelope with the clinch, and even found this fight on the ground where neither could better the other.

Overall, Ulster looked the far better striker, more accurate and aggressive, and the judges must have agreed as they awarded him the decision win.

265+ Matthaus Gold DEF Li Qiang

In one of our shorter fights of the evening, super heavyweight contender Matthaus Gold took down the always dangerous Li Qiang by way of first round TKO. Gold had a plan to take this fight into the clinch and work his opponent, and he did exactly that. Not much striking from range in this one, but an amazing clinch display from Gold that would make Randy proud.

With no desire to leave this fight to the judges, Gold finished the job in just under 4 minutes of the first round. The crowd loved it, and Gold showed the fans love after his big win.

There were some very good undercard fights, including one beautiful submission of the night going to Hamada after an impressive display to tap out Flexner. These fighters all deserve an award for their gritty performances, and the HFC is proud to bolster such a talented lineup of gladiators who put it all on the line every time they step into that cage.

Undercards:

170 Ryo Hamada DEF Rovi Flexner (Submission of the Night)

155 Brandin Duncan DEF Albert Lawrence

185 Samson Komua DEF Dre Battle

145 Kevin Walters DEF Charlie Patch

[BigDGuru]

Hello HARDCORE fans. We have an exciting announcement (no we are not acquiring another organization). We are proud to welcome “Hardcore” Harley Blaze to the Hardcore Fighting Championship team. Harley will serve as a front line reporter for all things HFC. He will be at the fights, he will travel to top gyms and also he will be running a high level scientific experiment on which cities have the prettiest women. He usually gets around on his Triumph (funny I know) Tiger 800 but also has been seen on some classic Harley Davidsons. He claims to love both bikes, and will not limit himself to only Harley Davidsons just because he is named Harley.

 

“Hardcore” Harley Blaze grew up in a MMA gym. His father Charles Blaze is a legend of the sport. Charles never fought in the pros, but he’s owned and operated Blaze MMA for over 40 years. Rumours of Charles being a dominant underground fighter in his teens in early twenties are often murmured but Charles always disputes those claims. Harley grew up learning MMA during the day and cleaning the wrestling mats at night. While Harley never quite made it to the pro ranks, he has a tremendous depth of knowledge for the sport. Harley is carefree, and a lone wolf. This attitude has brought him to all corners of the world. HFC President, J.W. Hardman met Harley at a rib cook off in Houston, Texas. What started as two men talking about their favorite rib glaze, turned into a vibrant conversation that would go on for hours. Both men love motorbikes, both men love ribs, and both men love the fight game. J.W. said Harley went into an insane amount of depth while breaking down some of HFC’s recent events. Harley also offered J.W. advice on how to maximize training at HFC headquarters in New York. After a few hours of conversation and 5lbs of ribs, J.W. and Harley came to an agreement. Harely will join the HFC team. He will travel to events, gyms and anywhere the fight game calls him. All along the way he will be providing us with a weekly update from his adventures. Without further ado, here is “Hardcore” Harley Blaze”

 

How the f*ck are we fight fans? Can I cuss on this thing J.W.? Ahh who cares. Anyways, I am pumped to be starting with HFC. Most organizations are really strict on drug testing. HFC was pretty cool...I mean they tested me, but said they don't care about THC so we are all good. Truly great timing, I just broke up with my longtime girlfriend of six weeks, so I am ready to hit the road. I will be in beautiful New York for HFC 20 Barbosa Vs Diaz. That card is stacked, the main event will be a bloodfest and I am also really pumped to see my boy Havoc defend his 145lb belt. Also the after party at the Hard Rock Cafe will be epic, and the after after party at my place will be cool too for the 4 ladies I invite there...anyways I digress.

 

I want you all to know Harley (third person bare with me) is a man of the people. You got a fighter you want me to meet? I’ll swing by and chat for a bit with him. I love talking about fighting. If you got an idea for a special interest story, let me know, I may check it out. In the meantime, after speaking with J.W. I know the whole HFC is pumped about the huge changes that are taking place. The merger with MADNESS is well underway. We have a strong partnership with Bloodbath Fighting Championship,a thriving 355+ that will ensure young talent is constantly being fed into the HFC. As a professional reporter, it is quite exciting, as a fight fan it is f*cking awesome...sorry J.W.

 

Blaze...OUT!
