RozzaD Posted November 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 TOP OF THE ROCK Rock FC has been up and running for a couple of months now and already hosted 14 events to date. Let's have a look at some of the fighters on top of their divisions and others on their way up... BANTAMWEIGHT DIVISION Kazuo Imanari 4-0 Submission Specialist This Japanese fighter sits at the top of the Bantamweight Rock with 4 submission wins under his belt, 2 of which have been chosen as sub of the night in the ROCK FC octagon. Seemingly unstoppable and at the top of his game, he will have his hands full with his next opponent as they compete for the title in a couple of weeks. Youssef Bennani 3-0 Knockout Artist Bennani is becoming a fan favorite very quickly, like Kazuo he has never seen the 2nd round and its unsurprising with his style of fighting. He goes for the kill straight out the gates and so far that strategy seems to be working very well indeed. Back Stabber 1-1 Brawler Stabber is on our lookout list. He started his career with a vicious 9 second knockout displaying very powerful hands, unfortunately his reckless style cost him at the hands of Bennani in his last outing and in a turn of events his management dropped him. Thankfully he was picked up again - perhaps this will be the fresh start Stabber needs. We think he has the skills to be great at ROCK FC. FEATHERWEIGHT DIVISION Rafael Benedetti 4-0 Muay Thai Master Benedetti appeared on the first ROCK FC card and has shown his dominance since. He'll keep you guessing using his punches and kicks and has shown that he is capable on the ground when he has faced some adversity. He rightfully sits at the top of the FW rock and will be eyeing up the opportunity to become the first FW champ. Pinocchio Cruz 3-1 Hit 'n' Hope Cruz has been quite the character and has been undefeated since entering the ROCK FC cage. Perhaps the biggest over achiever in the organization and we love to see it! Cruz fights with a style that can compare to that of a Hail Mary pass in the dying seconds of an NFL game and always get the winning touchdown. We look forward to seeing him in the cage again very soon. The Ultimate Warrior 3-1 Fisty Cuffs Warrior is new to ROCK FC but the fans already want to see more after his wild scrap and one punch power. A lot to prove yet, but he is off to a solid start. Renji Abarai 0-1 Hard Hitting Prospect Renji is still an unknown but has some hype around him in the amateur circuit. Some have sworn he will be the champ at some point, he is said to have hands of stone and a Granite chin. Watch this space. LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION Vladimir Kalishnikov 7-0-1 Surgeon Vlad picks apart his opponents with smart surgical striking. He knows exactly how to play to his strengths and it hasn't let him down so far. He is the champ for a reason although worrying news has emerged that his management might be going under and this could leave our lightweight champ in limbo... Here's to hoping one of ROCK FC's most hyped fighter is back to continue his dominant legacy soon. Demolition Smash 2-1 Wrecking Ball Smash has decided to move up to the pro's after finding success in the minor leagues. He is coming off 2 KO wins with his powerful hands. He will have to prove himself against veteran Azari in his next outing. Ivan Kamenev 1-0 Smesh, Smesh, Sub In his own words Ivan is a 'smesh, smesh, sub' fighter. Like numerous other in the LW division, he is young and raw but with great potential. He smesh and subbed his way to a victory and hope to see more of exactly that. Cole Driscoll 1-2 Killing em softly Cole doesn't have an impressive record but he is an up and comer with a wide arsenal of skills. Fans have been slightly disappointed with his start and trolls have been claiming he has pillow hands on MMA forums... Cole vows to finish his next opponent and silence the haters. WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION Ralph Hall 6-0 Tap or Snap Hall is ROCK FC's most popular fighter and WW Champ. He has been unstoppable so far in his career, with 6 submission wins and 4 submission of the night awards he has earned his belt and his hype. Ralph is currently waiting to see who will be his next victim after he made easy work of Papa John. Papa John 5-2 Bruiser Papa John will bring the fight and if he connects with your chin there's a good chance its over. He is another one who has exceeded expectations but he does have his 'achilles heel' which is his ground game. If you can get John to the ground its red panty night. Garbis Topalian 3-1 GNP dominator Garbis has found success when he is able to take his opponent down and rain down hammerfists. He is very capable on the ground and has shown proficiency in the striking game but there is something to be desired in that aspect. Harris Mint 2-0 All rounder Mint is another young prospect with the sky being the limit, he appears to be a true martial artist and one to look out for very soon. Will he live up to expectations? MIDDLEWEIGHT DIVISION Dave Leopoldo 6-1 Clinch Rapist extraordinaire Leopoldo is a master at his craft, you either hate it or love it but does love the clinch with a side of boxing. Dave is our MW champ and he always puts on a show. His last 2 fights have been FOTN and both ending in victories for our boy Dave. He may have a tough time ahead of him with some young studs rising through the ranks but he isn't scared of em and has the ability to win any fight as long as he gets them in his clutches. Milo Andrianakis 3-0 Pancakes all day Milo may be Greek but he doesn't don the body of a Greek god that's for sure. This chubster aint no pushover though, he has flattened his 3 opponents like pancakes and has earned himself a shot at the title. Many bookies have him as the favorite despite being the challenger. There are numerous prospects in the MW division so to summarize: Bombo Zola (3-1), Eric Distefano (2-0), Joel Miller (2-1), Ubaldo Cortez (1-2), Mladen Petric (3-1), Ndamukong Song (0-1) HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION Mahmoud Hussein 3-0 Deadly Striker Hussein earned his title with 3 1st round knockouts and he made it look easy. In his last fight the two fighters had some beef and he squashed that very fast and even got his opponents management to drop him. Some extra salt on the wound there. Hussein is in need of some worthy competition - the HW division is looking a little sparse for his liking at the moment but ROCK FC is doing everything they can to change that. Khosrov Hashempour 4-2 Kill or be Killed Everyone loves a fighter like Hashempour. He leaves nothing in the cage and will come forward non stop to get that KO....or be on the wrong end of one. He has been great value to ROCK FC and I am sure there is plenty more to come from him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 4 of my ROCK FC fighters with the shoutout - you love to see it. Combined record of 9-0. Excited for the day where I have 4 champs in 4 divisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaufman Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Cole vows to finish his next opponent and silence the haters. Cole Driscoll can't finish a half-eaten ham sandwich let alone his opponent. That's why he's the Vice President. After this fight, he'll go back to his previous career of teaching junior high girls volleyball. Sad Face will crush you, Driscoll. And then you will be sad, because it's contagious. Like yawning. I will pound your ginger face so far down you'll have a red moustache coming out of your ass. I'm here to get paid. -Sergei "Sad Face Jobber" Blumm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikkitakeda Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Brian White twitter: Yeah 1-0 on the actual circuit. Now training out in Hawaii. After the submission win my bjj coach awarded me my blue belt. Been a long time coming. Next match is against Lozano a 2-0 brown belt.

Ikkitakeda Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Paul Goldwin twitter: I told you all I was going to win. Never any doubt. Was a tough guy though. I beat him for 15 minutes straight. All judges scored every round 10-8. He's not going to be able to walk around for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
