A big thank you first of all for showing faith in me at such a young age and having offered me a very nice contract. Secondly, thank you for setting me up against such a legendary fighter. It means a lot to me to be able to test myself against such a high profile fighter and manager. Last but not least, thank you to mr. Karter who is most likely not used to fighting against kids like me anymore. It's an honor that I am allowed to fight a fighter of your stable and win or lose, I will be able to say that I fought the legendary Ziggy Cliff when I was only 24 years old. That means the world to me! Good luck Ziggy ! I look foward to my first fight on the big stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornmma1 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 We are proud to announce that german HW destroyer Hans Beck has signed a contract at Syn. Beck is currently ranked 124th p4p and has a pro mma record of 25-9. Managed by veteran top manager Sean McDonnel, Beck will be looking to prove that he can hang with the best. Big wins such as a KO win over Varg Veide suggest that for sure, so it will be interesting to see how he fares at Syn. We wish him nothing but the best. Good luck and welcome! Don't forget to tune in on our great event this evening. The LHW semi-finals of the olympics take place, but the Syn 205lbs title fight is on it as well, so it's going to be crazy! Good luck to everyone and may the best men win ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornmma1 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/14501225341449824618syn407.png Preview (our writer starts in 2016 and I am short on time so hope that this preview by me will be decent enough to make people happy) Bowdrie vs Turpin http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20120325031119synbeltnew.jpg Syn HW champion Chick Bowdrie will be facing Randolp Turpin in this battle of giants. Both men are very motivated to win this fight as there is not only a rivalry going on, but they both have their eyes set on one of the HW's who is considered the G.O.A.T. , Rinky Spider. There is another top HW who is interested in coming to Syn to fight the winner of this fight, but one thing is for sure, big things are to follow! Bowdrie is a Syn legend and was part of the olympic team this year, but lost by submission in a fight that was considered a big upset win for his opponent. He will be looking to show the world that it was nothing but a small misstep and will try to make a statement. Turpin on the other hand is coming into this fight trying to make it 1-2 vs Bowdrie. So far he hasn't been able to defeat him yet, but his last win was spectacular, so maybe he is up for it this time. Turpin knocked out Kersikov in 33 seconds in his last fight , so this fight is going to be pure fireworks! Calm Like A Bomb vs Pablo Escobar This fight is one the world is very intruiged by as it's a showdown between two young HW beasts that are looking as if they can become superstars in the future. Calm Like A Bomb has insane KO power and is riding a 4 fight win streak with nothing but spectacular one punch KO's. His opponent will be aware of that fact and willl have to be smart. That being said, Escobar is a beast as well and packs a huge punch. This ITFL fighter has won 8/10 ITFL fights and proved to be a one of the favorites for the HW tournament of ITFL that willl take place soon. After this fight he will go on to fight in it and will return after it to Syn once again to grace us with his presence. I don't think judges will have to decide how this fight ends. I expect a brutal KO for one of these young guns. Win or lose, both seem to have gigantic potential so really cool fight! Borschev vs Mood Another big HW fight coming up for the fans, as both HW's will throw down hard to please the fans. Borschev is a Syn veteran and won his last fight by head kick KO. Mellow Mood on the other hand will be making his second presence at Syn, as he already fought here against Bowdrie, a fight he lost by decision. It was a great fight and he looked impressive in defeat. He would go on to fight in the olympics, but lost in the first round to Shillings, who is now the top 265+ figther in the world. Both fighters come from a stable of an elite manager, so tactics might turn out to be crucial in this fight. This should turn out a really good fight and I wouldn't be surprised to see a KO here as well. Franco vs Portier At 185lbs , these two monsters will go head to head , to decide who is the better of the two. Franco is riding a 3 fight winning streak and all by finish. He has been looking very impressive lately and is making a big run at 185lbs. Portier is a former 185lbs champion at Syn, so he knows how it feels to be on top of the world already. This might turn out to be an advantage for him in this fight, but both are veteran fighters and know the sport very well. This fight is less likely to end by (t)KO, but should be extremely entertaining. I expect a hard fought fight that will end in a a close decision win. Roach vs Riccuito Roach is a 205lbs legend and has challenged for the belt at both Syn and EVO already in his career. He is a no nonsense fighter and I remember him very well from when he did a superfight at NYFN to give us a cool main-event then. Really nice and much appreciated! Anyway, he will be facing Mark Riccuito on this event. Riccuitto has done a great job at EVO before coming over to Syn. He would start off with some losses, but won his last fight and is looking to get a nice streak going. He has a tough opponent that he'll need to try and beat, so should be interesting. Both have KO power and are managed by top managers, so it's hard to tell who is the favorite in this one. Goodbarrel vs Nazarov Goodbarrel has had some great performances so far , but is coming off a loss in his last fight. Nazarov is actually on a two fight winning streak and will be eager to make it 3 in a row. Both fighters are tough to finish, so this one will most likely go the distance. Allround Goodbarrel seems the more complete fighter, so Nazarov will have to have a great plan if he wants to win this fight. He has the momentum on his side, so we'll see what he can do. DeBramalo vs Matus What a damn cool fight this is going to be! Both these guys are only 24 years old and already very high skilled. Both also have only one stoppage loss, so they are very tough. QDB is 3-1 at Syn and has won his last two fights. In fact, he has won performance bonusses in all of his 3 wins at Syn! Can he keep this up and pocket some extra cash once again? On the other side of the cage will be Don Juan Matus. 'The Nagual' won his last two fights as well and has looked pretty spectacular lately. It seems that QDB probably has a little higher skills, but Matus seems to have the power advantage. Man, I'm so pumped for this fight!!! Castro vs Chabala Our brazilian friend Castro has been doing a good job so far at Syn. He has some cool wins on his record and is looking to climb up the rankings even more. He will take a big step up in competition as he will face Matt Chabala next. Chabala has a record of fighting top guys and has a great pro record of 23-9-2 . Most of his wins have come by way of decision, so he'll most likely be looking to convince the judges again this weekend. Castro has a bit more power, but Chabala has a brilliant chin, so going to be tough to crack him. It will be interesting to see what tactic will be used in this fight. Venger vs Sheen Back to the HW's, as Venger and Sheen will be throwing some big leather this weekend. Venger started of his Syn career with two wins, but has now lost his last 3 fights. His KO-power is scary so it's only a matter of time before he can get a winning streak going again. Sheen lost his last two fights and hasn't the best of chins. If Sheen can't end this fight quickly, he will most likely get caught by Venger and knocked out cold. I expect to see a finish here for sure and would be extremely surprised if this one goes to the judges' scorecards. Feti vs Damozzi Feti is coming off 2 draws in his last two bouts. Yes, you read that correctly, two draws. Crazy, but not likely to happen again I guess. He has great KO -power and after these last decisions, he'll not be letting this one go the distance. Damozzi is an ITFL fighter and has won about half of his fights in the tournament. His last fight was a big stoppage win over Arthur Curry and he will be looking to build on that win. Damozzi has a good chin, so if he can avoid this fight going the distance , he can win it. I expect pressure from both fighters as none likes the judges. This event is going to be awesome! I heard rumors that the fans are so excited to have tickets for this event that they even cancelled their dates with their hot girlfriends and said they had more imporant stuff to attend to !!! Who am I to say that they would be wrong... Don't miss it !! -Bjorn- 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markyosullivan Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/1415893171image.jpg Syn 408 - Olympics Finals http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/14501225541450119874syn408.png 31st December 2015 Wombly Arena (93,607) London Partner: HGH Nutrients http://mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/1415891969qubitnewSOUL.gif The Light Heavyweight finals are finally drawing to a close and with it we'll have a newly crowed gold medallist. To celebrate the Light Heavyweight finals, Syn has decided to showcase some of it's biggest and best Light Heavyweight talent as the entire card is stacked full of Light Heavyweight fights. Anyway, this introduction is long enough, time to preview the match ups! Olympic Gold Medal fight Ugor Makinwa (34-14-1) vs Kelemi Seia (35-13) Ugor Makinwa comes into this fight off the back of his biggest victory in his MMA career to date, a decision win over Colin Croft who had beaten Ugor in the past. It was sweet revenge for Ugor who was keen to ensure that history did not repeat itself when the two met each other for the second time in the Olympic Light Heavyweight semi finals. He's surprised everyone by getting a victory over Colin Croft, even Colin's manager had him getting gold in the Olympics so perhaps he was over confident coming into that fight. The ITFL Season 2 Alumi comes into this fight wanting to capitalise on the momentum gained from the Colin Croft victory and will no doubt have huge confidence in his ability to go on and win the gold. His KO power is something which can't be taken lightly and while he didn't KO Croft in the Semi's, he has an impressive 30 (T)KO wins out of 34 wins in his MMA career. Kelemi Seia is the other finalist and the he's on a roll at the minute. He's coming into the fight with a impressive 7 fight win streak with a notable victory over Tiago Renato standing out from those 7. The last two victorious, both of which being Olympic fights, have came via TKO and it looks like we could expect fireworks in this final fight. At 36 years old the Samoan is rapidly approaching the end of his career and will hoping to add an Olympic gold medal to his list of achievements before he hangs up his gloves. With only 2 (T)KO losses in his career, he can be confident of avoiding the (T)KO/ KO and focus on landing heavy shots to get the KO himself but he must tread carefully because as Colin Croft showed, Ugor isn't someone to take lightly. Judging by the two fighters records, I'm going to make a bold prediction and say that this one isn't going to be ended by submission.... On a more serious note, Ugor is more vulnerable to leg kicks, being hit by 55% of all thrown compared to Kelemi's 41% and with Kelemi landing 62% of his attempted leg kicks, I can see him lighting up Ugor's leg and as a result the longer the fight goes, the more it will go in Kelemi's favour. That being said, looking at Kelemi's recent losses, both being decision losses to a fighter formerly known as Patrick Whales who managed to grind out a decision by taking Kelemi down and controlling him on the ground, so perhaps Ugor could go for a couple of takedowns and take down Kelemi like he did against Croft. Prediction: Kelemi Seia http://mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20120325031119synbeltnew.jpg Syn Light Heavyweight title fight © Tiago Renato (33-8-1) vs Vincent Vinetto (18-4) 2014 Winter Olympic winner and reigning Syn Light Heavyweight champion Tiago Renato steps into the cage to defend his title for the first time after winning it by KOing Joaquin Fortunado (20-6) with one punch at Syn 404 - Olympics Rd. 2. Tiago Renato has already proven himself to be an elite fighter with his win in last years Olympics and with the whos who of names he's beaten in his career. Unfortunately 2015 didn't go to plan for Tiago Renato and if you were to ask him I'm sure he'd say it was very much hit and miss with him picking up a handful of wins and losses. He's coming into this fight aiming to successfully defend his title and go on a dominant run defending his title multiple times against the best Light Heavyweights in MMA Tycoon and ensuring that he'll be remembered as one of the finest Light Heavyweights to grace the MMA Tycoon world. He's finished his last two fights by (T)KO / KO, can we see a third in this fight? Challenging for the title is Vincent Vinetto a man who was unable to impress former #1 manager of the world Dean Sutherland and so was released by him but despite this he's unbeaten in 6 fights under his new manager Michael Knight. Will the impressive win streak continue? I'm sure Michael will be hoping it will! He's had one title fight in the past and it was against EVO Hall of Famer Ryo Narushima and was defeated by TKO on that occasion. He will be hoping that this one will end differently and that at the end of the fight it will be his hand raised as the winner and new Syn Light Heavyweight champion. Both guys are elite fighters but I've noticed Tiago Renato hasn't been KO'd before so the fact that 72% of Vincent's wins have came by either TKO or KO might not play a huge deal in deciding this fight as it really seems that Tiago can take a good punch on his noggin. Tiago has shown in the past that some fighters can get the better of him in the stand up, with recent losses to Kelemi Seia and Vagner Love highlighting this, where those two fighters took the fight to Tiago and got in his face and didn't let him get comfortable. Vagnar Loss nearly paid the price for getting cocky in the last round of his fight as he was rocked and dropped before the fight ended. I feel that Tiago is the more aggressive of the two fighters given that he on average throws 28.7 head strikes landing 57% compared to Vincent's 15.4 head strikes landing 66% of them. With Tiago never having been KO'd and being the more aggressive fighter, I feel he'll land more punches and even if he does get hit by a couple of hard punches, it wont be enough to put Tiago away and that's why I think Tiago will be the one walking away the winner. Prediction: Tiago Renato Olympic Bronze Medal fight Colin Croft (20-2) vs Happy Forclit ( 17-9 ) Colin Croft comes into this fight eager to make people forget about the upset loss against Ugor Makinwa by putting on a dominant performance against Happy Forclit. He's only had two loses in his career and weirdly enough he's beaten both of those fighters before. I'm guessing he was complacent coming in against Ugor having beaten him before and paid the price for it. After losing to Joaquin Fortunado (20-6), Croft bounced back with two dominating TKO wins, one in Havoc and the other in the first round of the Olympics, with the fight in the first round being a rematch to Joaquin. Big things are expected of Colin Croft and being guided by former #1 manager Dean Sutherland, we can be sure he'll be known as one of the best Light Heavyweight fighters in MMA Tycoon if he isn't already. Happy Forclit comes into this with everything to gain and nothing to lose. He knows he's the underdog coming in against one of the biggest upcoming Light Heavyweight stars but he would also know that there isn't probably a better time to face Croft with him coming off a big upset loss and will be looking to capitalise on his recent loss while Croft's confidence is low. Happy will be out there looking to protect his chin whilst also looking to work his dangerous ground game, landing some heavy ground and pound and maybe go for a submission if he gets Croft to the ground. Croft couldn't avoid being taken down by Ugor and so I'm sure that will give Happy extra confidence coming into this fight. This will be an interesting fight to watch because we know Happy hasn't got a great chin and Colin has some serious KO power but we also know that Colin has been taken down before in the past and if it happens in this fight against Happy, I can see Happy inflicting a lot of damage and getting a TKO or submission win. That being said I feel that Colin will look at Happy's most recent fight and look to gas him early just like Seia did and get the (T)KO win. Prediction: Colin Croft Cedric Murphy ( 24-8-1 ) vs Raphael Bowie ( 24-9 ) Cedric will be looking to put behind the last two disappointing losses behind him and focus on winning this next fight. Having looked at the opponents Raphael Bowie has fought and where he has fought prior to this fight, I see Cedric as a strong favourite and I'm expecting him to outclass Raphael in this fight. Raphael is a submission specialist and while many fighters haven't attempted to take Cedric down, those who did were quite successful. If Raphael has high level take downs, he'll be able to get this to the ground and when it's their he's going to be extremely dangerous. Cedric has 2 submission losses (25% of total losses) and so has shown before in the past that he may have a weakness there which Raphael can exploit. At 38 years old, Raphael really needs a couple of wins to go his way to make on final push for a title fight in one of the top organisations before he is forced to retire. I have my doubts about whether or not Raphael will be good enough to get the fight to the ground, if he doesn't I don't think this fight will end pretty, he'll get gassed quickly and then Cedric will punish him and end up with the (T)KO win and that's what I think will happen. Prediction: Cedric Murphy Evgeniy Malkin ( 33-13-1 ) vs Jimmy Diaz Jimenez ( 17-9-1 ) Evgeniy has only really lost to top quality opponents in recent times and the former champ will be eager to go on another winning streak which could get him in contention for a title shot. The former ITFL Season 2 fighter has a wealth of experience to his name having been competing in Syn since ITFL Season 2 finished. He seems to have quite the rivalry with Tiago Renato having fought him a total of 5 times with Tiago winning two, losing 2 and drawing 1. Jimmy on the other hand has only had 1 loss in 6 fights during his time at Syn. Unbeaten in 3 fights, if he beats former champ Evgeniy Malkin, I think it'll really increase his chances of getting a title shot. He's shown he has got KOpower with his last 2 wins in Syn coming via (T)KO. Evgeniy has been KO'd by very powerful strikers before in the past, if Jimmy gets a KO over him, we'll know that he's got serious legit KO power because I have my doubts about how much KO power he has having looked at the fighters he's KO'd in the past. With Jimmy having been beaten before by submission, he also really struggles to defend the takedown and all of this is just making Evgeniy a happy man because he's been very successful in his career getting the fight to the ground. I'm predicting another submission win for Evgeniy. Prediction: Evgeniy Malkin Landon Austin ( 18-5 ) vs Kool Keith ( 18-4 ) Landon is coming in on a 2 win streak, he came to Syn after going unbeaten in 13 fights, he won his debut fight before suffering his first loss by KO. Since then he's lost a further 4 times, every time by KO which is suggesting he's a bit chinny unfortunately for him. That being said he's an entertaining fighter to watch for the fans having only went the distance 3 times in his 23 fight career. Kool Keith has been a title holder in two different organisations and must hoping that Syn will be the third organisation added to that list. He has only been KO'd once in his career so this fight may be a test for his chin. With Kool getting 3 wins in 3 fights at Ascension, I can see him rising up the rankings fast at Syn and it might not be too long before we see him fighting for the title. Looking at the skills of the two fighters, Landon has the better stand up whereas Kool has the better ground game. Landon favours the leg kicks and I can see him really lighting up Kool's legs with some hard nasty leg kicks which will slow him down making him an easier target for Landon to hit with heavy punches. Both fighters are very comfortable in the clinch and so it'll be an interesting battle to see who wins the clinch fight should it go there, given Landon's dodgy chin, I could see Kool landing a couple powerful uppercuts in the clinch before it's lights out for Landon. Prediction: Kool Keith Devin Styles ( 36-17 ) vs Antonio Ronaldo ( 18-9-1 ) I find it strange seeing Devin Styles so far down the main card and it saddens me in a way. After that win against Scotty Bennet (41-12), he was at the pinnacle of his career having aken on and beaten some very big names in the Heavyweight division. Since then he's been quite inconsistent and I only hope he considers a return to the Heavyweight division to see if he can regain the sort of form he had before his Light Heavyweight fight with AJ Hearts. With Devin on a 2 fight loss streak, he'll be looking to bounce back with a win in this fight. Antonio Ronaldo is also on a losing streak albeit a slighter worse one, he's currently riding a 3 fight losing streak and has been tasked with a very hard job of regaining winning ways by being given a fight against a former #1 p4p fighter in Devin Styles. Devin hasn't got the best of chins but I doubt Antonio's striking will be good enough to effectively test it. Failure to win in this fight could see Antonio edge closer to being released by Syn and so we might see him go all out to get the victory, if we do, we could see fireworks. Devin Styles will prove that he is still a quality fighter and win this fight. I'll be very surprised if he loses. Prediction: Devin Styles David Judah ( 20-11 ) vs Borden Chantry ( 19-10-3 ) The once dominant CCF fighter David Judah will be hoping to gain his first Syn win in this fight against Borden Chantry. He has been KO'd in both of his previous Syn fights and so will be looking to tuck his chin in and avoid it being cracked hard otherwise he might be going to sleep again in his third Syn fight. At 37 years old, time is running out for David if he wants to win another title in his career before retiring and he needs to start winning in this fight against Borden for that dream to become reality. Borden will be coming into this fight also with a 3 fight loss streak but unlike his opponent, Borden has picked up wins in the past in Syn against strong opponents. He's got KO power and I'm sure he'll be confident of picking up a KO in this fight having looked at David's past two fights in Syn. He struggles against ground fighters but I don't think that's going to be a factor in what decides this fight. I'm predicting another KO loss for David Judah. Prediction: Borden Chantry Devon Smith ( 16-9 ) vs Davide Dileo ( 15-3 ) The KO machine in Devon Smith steps into the Syn cage once more as his fans eagerly anticipate another highlight reel KO finish from the 28 year old American. He's not got the best of chins haven't been KO'd 44% of his losses. Devon will be looking to improve his Syn record which stands at 2-5 at the time of writing. He's young enough to turn his Syn career around and with KO power, it'll only help his chances. Davide hasn't been seen for half a year and so we're not quite sure what to expect from him. He's never been KO'd before and I think this fight will be the best test of his chin to date. That being said if he is KO'd in this fight, I don't think it'd be a major worry as he'll have been KO'd by a guy who has massive KO power. His nickname of "Worst Build Ever/ Sparbot" does not leave me feeling confident of his chances and I don't think his manager is confident of his chance either and so I'm expecting a KO win for Devon Smith. Prediction: Devon Smith Oscar Kockout ( 18-16 ) vs Frank Dozer ( 10-5 ) Oscar Kockout as you can probably guess from his record has lacked real consistency in his career and has found it tough since joining Syn nearly 6 months ago. He has the experience advantage, being 4 years older than his opponent and having a total of 34 fights compared to his opponent's 15. Oscar will be eager to prove he deserves to be in Syn, he's got 1 victory in Syn to his name already and I'm sure he's confident more than ever that he can add another victory to his record. Frank Dozer looks like a good prospect in the Syn Light Heavyweight division. Not many 26 year olds can boast that they've fought in Syn before and once this fight is over, win or lose, at least Frank can say he fought in Syn at 26 years old. He's definitely one for the future and I'll be looking out for his progress. I'm slightly worried about his chin as 60% of his loses have came via (T)KO, so it might be a good idea for him to focus on avoiding being hit hard in the chin in future fights. He favours the clinch and that's probably where Oscar is weakest and for that reason I'm expecting a KO win for Frank Dozer. Prediction: Frank Dozer 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
