Guest Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hi I'm [Name Omitted] and I'm a professional fighter. Before I started buying [Redacted. It isn't a steroid.] from INTENSITY sports supplements, I just wasn't the best me that I could be. Sure, I was okay, but once I started injecting [Redacted. Still isn't a steroid.] from INTENSITY, I became all that I can be! Just look at this before/after picture of me and let your EYES be the judge! http://i.imgur.com/mIW1axE.jpg [Cheesy tone of voice] THANKS INTENSITY!

Guest Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/1420360511BYFCLogo1.1.jpg BYFC 7: Let Them Come - Review [PRELIMINARY CARD] (Light-heavyweight Division) Keith Werdum versus Jason Montana (Fight Cancelled) Jason Montana did not make weight for this fight. Jason Montana can only cut to a maximum of 210 lbs due to his low cardio physical. He needs to train nothing but cardio for a while or move up to heavyweight. This was a mistake on our part as well as his, for accepting the fight at a weight he couldn't make. (Heavyweight Division) Jason Dire versus Jean Carlos Canela Round 1 - After failing with a couple of takedown attempts, Canela found himself pressed against the cage by Dire. Canela continued to try takedown after takedown so Dire broke away from the clinch. Canela immediately took him down into side control. Jason Dire managed to work his way back to full guard and stall for a referee standup. Dire then took Canela down in an interesting change of pace, landing in his guard and working himself into half guard where he would spend the remainder of the round landing vicious shots from above. Jason Dire absolutely dominated that round. Round 2 - Dire clinched and took Canela down, landing in his guard once more. Jason Dire would spend several minutes laying in Canela's guard, landing short punches, until the referee stood the two up. Canela took a big, deep breath, and Dire worked his boxing for several minutes before taking Canela back down to the ground. Side control. Jason Dire would finish out the round in side control hammering away at a helpless and exhausted Canela. Another clear round for Dire. Round 3 - Canela tried to clinch and Dire countered into a takedown into side control. From side control with plenty of time to go, Jason Dire hammered away at the face of Canela, hurting him with a relentless barrage of blows. Canela managed to survive the round, mostly because Dire did not mount him. Easy victory for Jason Dire. Jason Dire def. Jean Carlos Canela via Unanimous Decision (30-25, 30-25, 30-25). (Afterthought) Jason Dire's management was quoted as saying that Dire wanted to be recognized and placed higher on the card. I think this victory will guarantee him that. Jason Dire's talents can't be denied but I would love to see him dedicate himself to improving his wrestling. With his top control, Dire could be a force in the BYFC heavyweight division. (Lightweight Division) Tank Babal versus Phil Jijy Round 1 - Babal was looking to wrestle early but Phil Jijy was having none of it. Jijy was landing relentless kicks including dozens of leg kicks that were clearly slowing Babal down. This round was an absolute one sided beating by Phil Jijy, very possibly 10-8. Round 2 - This round was more of the same: Tank Babal helplessly plodding forward, diving on the legs that were no longer close enough to grab, and getting worked over by the kicks of Phil Jijy. At about three minutes in, Jijy hurt him real bad with a combination. Babal tried everything to time a takedown off of the aggressive striking of Jijy but he just could not do it. Jijy dropped him with a monster head kick and followed him down with punches that stopped the fight. Phil Jijy def. Tank Babal via TKO (Strikes) at 3:57 of round 2. (Afterthought) Back to the drawing board for the washed up rapper. Phil Jijy's Muay Thai kicks are on point. (Light-heavyweight Division) Patricio Pereira versus Kevin Garbutt Round 1 – Pereira was doing a great jon early of avoiding the striking of Kevin Garbutt. Pereira took Garbutt down on his first attempt, landing in his guard. Pereira started working for a submission from guard while trying to sneak a leg free to advance his position. After a minute of stalemate, the referee stood the fighters up. Pereira tried to get another takedown but couldn't do it. For several minutes, Garbutt worked his striking, landing frequently, and backing Pereira up. Midway through the round, Kevin Garbutt took Pereira down, landing in his half guard. Garbutt worked some ground n pound but then stalled for a standup. Back on the feet, it was all Kevin Garbutt for the remainder of the round. Kevin Garbutt stole that round back. Round 2 – Kevin Garbutt dominated this round with his striking, and then sealed it with a last minute takedown, solidifying his point advantage. Round 3 – Patricio Pereira was looking a little lost in this round. He wasn't having success avoiding the kickboxing of Garbutt, and worse yet was getting taken down and controlled with ease by Garbutt. Pereira did manage to land a nice sweep, Garbutt reversed him right back to the bottom. Kevin Garbutt def. Patricio Pereira via Unanimous Decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-26). (Afterthought) Kevin Garbutt is far from a kickboxer but he could have fooled me. His striking was on point here. (Lightweight Division) Mark Davidson versus Peter Lay Round 1 – The first solid minute of this round was a pure slugfest. Lay was landing power kicks from all angles, and Davidson was throwing haymakers, swinging for the fences. Lay dragged Davidson to the ground, landing in his guard. Davidson tried for a submission, and then got back to his feet. Lay ate an uppercut and brought the fight back to the ground, half guard this time. Lay advanced to mount and held on like a snuggie from hell. Davidson reversed him, landing himself in guard, and throwing ground and pound from the top position. Lay secured a scissor sweep and got back into half guard. Lay worked the ground and pound this time, viciously attacking Davidson to reclaim the round. This round ended with Peter Lay(ing) in guard on top of Davidson, working short range punches. Round 2 – Lay was working the angles again, landing kicks and punches, and then took Davidson back to the ground. Full Guard. Davidson went for a submission but came up empty handed. Or legged. Lay started working the ground and pound and advanced to half guard. Lay worked the Lay n Pray and the referee stood them back up. Davidosn came out aggressively, throwing a wild series of punches, so Lay clinched to calm him back down a tad. Davidson tried to hit Lay with anything, throwing shoulder shrugs and dirty looks, so Lay broke the clinch and started landing beautiful counter-shots off of the wild, swinging misses of Davidson. Lay clinched and controlled for the final seconds of the round. Round 3 – Davidson came out swinging again, way too aggressive, hitting mostly empty space. Lay cracked Davidson with some beautiful counters in these exchanges before taking him back down, landing in Davidson's guard once more. Lay controlled, Davidson flopped a submission attempt, and the referee stood them back up yet again. Davidson stuffed a takedown, missed some lunging punches, and Lay clinched. Davidson broke clinch and went back to hitting mostly nothing. The remainder of the round was mostly Lay countering the aggressive missing of Davidson, en route to his decision victory. Peter Lay def. Mark Davidson via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27). (Afterthought) Davidson successfully landed with twelve of his 73 attempted strikes in this fight. I think it's time to dial back the aggression a bit there, Raging Bull. As for Peter Lay, he was controlling the fight very effectively against a tough kid. It wasn't fun to watch but it was effective. [MAIN CARD] (Lightweight Division) Jake FM versus Henry Bach Round 1 – Henry Bach was landing crisp punching combinations early, and Jake FM was firing back with single shots. Bach was the clear aggressor in the early goings of the round. FM clinched and worked Bach over against the cage. Bach seemed to break against the cage but then FM broke free himself, a terrible mistake in my opinion. Henry Bach was still firing off punches, but with four minutes left in the round, Bach was throwing MUCH more slowly, and in single shots instead of wild combinations. FM took Bach to the ground and controlled him there for several minutes before standing back up. Four minutes in, Bach stopped punching and Jake FM took the initiative with more shots to an ever slowing Henry Bach. Round 2 – Henry Bach looked absolutely exhausted early in this round. He was throwing his shots with much less frequency, and landing rarely. Jake FM really seemed to loosen up a minute into the round and started landing shots at will. Bach was doing a great job of avoiding being taken back down but was having very little success with his own attacks. I think FM shot himself in the foot a bit with his constant takedown attempts as they were just getting stuffed and giving Bach time to recover. Round 3 – Both guys were pretty much exhausted by this point in the fight. Jake FM landed a pair of takedowns but didn't accomplish much with them. The remainder of the fight was both fighters throwing single shots and FM failing to score takedowns. Henry Bach def. Jake FM via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). (Afterthought) I think Bach shot himself in the foot with his constant wrestling attempts. He was holding his own in the standup after that early exchange in the clinch but Bach was stopping the wrestling and scoring points in the process. (Light-heavyweight Division) Don Pepot versus Frank Turner Round 1 – This forty second brawl showcased Frank Turner trying to match Don Pepot blow-for-blow and failing miserably. Pepot landed all five shots to the head that he attempted, while avoiding the constant combinations of Turner. Don Pepot def. Frank Turner via KO (Punch) at 0:37 of round 1. (Super-heavyweight Division) Marshal Van Black versus Leroy Speed Round 1 – Leroy Speed lived up to his name with a fast style of attack, keeping the pressure of MVB. Van Black got cut on the hairline early but scored a beautiful takedown into the guard of Speed.Van Black was landing ground n pound but the referee stood him up for stalling. Leroy Speed pushed forward again, landing heavy punches, making Van Black a bleeding mess. He dropped Van Black with a combination and finished him with a followup right hook. Leroy Speed def. Marshal Van Black via KO (Punch) at 2:47 of round 1. [CO-MAIN EVENT] (Lightweight Division) Darragh McGuinness versus Damon Newton Round 1 – After McGuinness rickrolled me with his entrance song, he aggressively went after Newton early. He opeend a cut on Newton while stuffing his constant takedown attempts. However, a minute in, Newton scored a takedown into half guard... and then stood back up. Why? Near the end of the round, Newton scored another takedown and controlled to close out the round. Round 2 – The majority of this round showcased Darragh McGuinness pushing forward and landing strikes while Newton failed with takedown after takedown. Newton did manage to get a takedown, briefly, but McGuinness stood right back up. Round 3 – McGuinness had to know that he was ahead two rounds to one coming into this final round. He pushed forward with single shots, stuffed a takedown attempt, and got over-confident. He lunged forward with a left-right combination and got taken down into side control. Newton tried for several minutes to advance position, to land ground n pound, but McGuinness was wise to his ways. However, McGuiness tried to explode out of the position and gave up his back in the process. Newton lockd in the hooks, secured the choke, and forced the tap. Incredible comeback for Damon Newton! Damon Newton def. Darragh McGuiness via Submission (RNC) at 2:50 of round 3. [MAIN EVENT] (Lightweight Division) Shogun Ken versus Arapeta Ma Aka Round 1 – Ma Aka was telegraphing his early takedown attempts and Shogun Ken was eating him up with short counter shots. Shogun Ken threw a wild combination and opened himself up for the takedown. Ma Aka brought him to the ground, straight into side control, and squeezed him out in a tight arm triangle choke. Arapeta Ma Aka def. Shogun Ken via Submission (Arm Triangle) at 0:43 of round 1.

Guest Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/1420360511BYFCLogo1.1.jpg BYFC 8: Battle of the Bold is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by: Backyard Fight Club in conjunction with Intensity sports supplements and the Backyard Brawlers alliance. This event will be held on February 26, 2015 at the Hard Knocks arena in Sydney, Australia. [PROLOGUE] In our main event, we will be witness to a marquee matchup between the legendary Idi Ota as he takes on the private gym project fighter Rusty Hofnaker. In the co-main event, the heavyweight championship is on the line! Matt Byrne will look to defend his world championship from the experienced John Jackson! [OFFICIAL FIGHT CARD] http://i.imgur.com/kmo7li0.jpg [MAIN EVENT] (Heavyweight Division) Idi Ota (25-11) versus Rusty Hofnaker (4-0) (Preview) Idi Ota began his career fighting in a regional QFC tournament with just his Muay Thai training. Although he was defeated in the second round of the tournament, Ota would fight three more times in the QFC shows, earning him a 3-2 pro record. Idi went on to fight for Los Angeles Cage Blaze Championship, the LA Blaze K-1 Kickboxing league, and finally the Hilo Fight League. After suffering three consecutive losses for the first time in his professional career, Ota took some time off to improve upon his weaknesses. The results were infinitely beneficial; he defeated his final two opponents with Hilo Fights and then signed with Prestige here in Sydney. In prestige (formerly known as Extreme-MMA), Ota would win 15 of his 16 fights, with his one defeat there coming against the reigning heavyweight champion. In his Epicity Productions debut, Ota was submitted by young gun Matt Byrne. Remember when I said that Matt Byrne is the dark horse of the division? That title actually belongs to Rusty Hofnaker. Rusty is 4-0 with three of his four victories coming by way of first round knockout. He is capable of clinchfighting, wrasslin', or kickboxing. He has some seriously heavy hands, staggering his opponents with strikes in every fight. Hofnaker is also an accomplished wrestler who has never been taken down in his professional career. The scariest thing of all is that Rusty Hofnaker is one of the few men that can proudly boast to be a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt. [A closer look] (Idi Ota) Height: 6'0 Weight: 287.5 Record: 25-11 Knockouts: 22 Submissions: 0 Style: Muay Thai Career Achievements or Accolades: World Title Challenger (3x), Fight of the Night, Knockout of the Night (x3), won 17 of last 20 fights. (Rusty Hofnaker) Height: 6'4 Weight: 255 lbs Record: 4-0 Knockouts: 3 Submissions: 0 Style: Muay Thai Career Achievements or Accolades: Undefeated QFC fighter with three consecutive victories via head kick knockout. [CO-MAIN EVENT] http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20150107044253BYFCBelt1.1.jpg(Heavyweight Division, Championship bout) Matt Byrne© (5-1) versus John Jackson (12-6) (Preview) Matt Byrne is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. He started his career with a defeat at the hands of a man with four pro fights to his credit. Byrne returned shortly after and won three consecutive fights via brutal stoppage. Matt Byrne is 2-0 with BYFC, having knocked out one man, and submitted the veteran Idi Ota in their championship fight. Matt Byrne is a Muay Thai stylist that has diligently trained his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, making him a notable threat on the ground as well. John Jackson has this championship fight for a couple of reasons: first of all, JJ is a talented veteran and a dangerous ground fighter. His fighting history includes submitting bigger and stronger men at super-heavyweight, with the majority of his victories coming in the Disobedience fighting promotion. The second reason is that John Jackson has fought two extremely high level fighters in his last two fights, with a defeat at the hands of Idi Ota, and a hard fight against Mitar Miric. Before these losses, he was on an impressive six fight winning streak. And finally, John Jackson is just the highest ranked contender available as Idi Ota gives Rusty Hofnaker his debut fight. [A closer look] (Matt Byrne) Height: 6'7 Weight: 240 lbs Record: 5-1 Knockouts: 4 Submissions: 1 Style: Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Career Achievements or Accolades: BYFC Heavyweight Championship (John Jackson) Height: 6'4 Weight: 288.5 lbs Record: 12-6 Knockouts: 5 Submissions: 5 Style: Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Career Achievements or Accolades: Fight of the Night, Knockout of the Night [MAIN CARD] (Super-heavyweight Division) Justin Lewis (6-1) versus Shane McLain (5-0) (Preview) Justin Lewis is a kickboxer with devastating headkicks and an iron chin supporting him. He started his career in the Major League Fighting, where he would win his pro debut and also suffer the only defeat of his career. Lewis next signed with Royal Fighting Championship, where he would rebound from his defeat by knocking out four consecutive opponents within the first round. In BYFC, Lewis knocked out Druss The Legend (his name, not what I'm calling him) in just under two minutes. Shane McLain is an undefeated English pugilist. He fought his first four fights under the Darkness Fighting Championship, where he would win every single fight via first round knockout with his power punches. McLain resembles a young Vitor Belfort, driving forward with a flurry of punching combinations to fell opponents. In his BYFC debut, McLain knocked out brawler Frederick Bowles in just twenty seconds. Expect fireworks in this fight! This one ain't going the distance! (Light-heavyweight Division) Yuji Nagata (5-2) versus Mike Nickels (13-4) (Preview) Yuji Nagata is returning to the cage with two stoppage victories to his credit within the company prior. Nagata fought the bulk of his fights for New Extreme Combat, earning a professional record of 3-2. Nagata has excellent ground control; despite being taken down frequently, he always finds a way to reverse his opponents. In his fight against Sam Am, he reversed, took Am's back, and hurt him badly with ground and pound. With all of his ground techniques, you would think that Yuji Nagata is most dangerous on the ground, and you would be surprised. Yuji Nagata has serious punching power, rocking opponents frequently with straight punches. With victories over Don Pepot and Alex James within BYFC, all signs are coming up Nagata. Mike Nickels is a heavy handed former world champion. He started his pro fighting career in the Royal Fighting Championship, where he would earn a record of 5-0. In that time, he defeated Jason Patton to claim the RFC Light-heavyweight Championship. He would successfully defend his title two times before signing with Death Squad MMA. In Death Squad MMA, Nickels would change management teams, fight for two world titles, and earn his reputation as a finisher. All of his Death Squad MMA fights ended inside the first round except for his debut. Now Nickels is fighting with a new management team and he is prepared to make his BYFC debut. All thirteen of Nickels' victories have come via brutal knockout, most of the time within the first round. (Middleweight Division) Eva Contonio (2-0) versus Saul Goodman (10-9) (Preview) Eva Contonio has fought twice professionally; in his professional fighting debut, he would knock out his AMW opponent eleven seconds into the second round. He would take a bit longer in his BYFC debut, but the result would be the same: he stopped Minoru Suzuki with powerful strikes. Saul Goodman, who you'd better call, has fought for Disobedience, Devastation Fighting Championships, and Wolf Fight League. While fighting for WolfFL, he seemed to come into his own, going 4-0 in that time, claiming a world title, and defending it. His time with the Insanity league didn't go as smoothly; he would go only 1-3 in that time. He received a shot at the title in Extreme MMA (Not to be confused with New Extreme MMA) and claim his second world championship. [uNDERCARD] (Light-heavyweight Division) John Reese (1-2) versus (2-0) (Preview) John Reese has fought three times for BYFC, with very disconcerting results; with two stoppage defeats in his recent career, this young fighter has a long way to go to get back on top. Reese is a boxer with a moderate wrestling game to keep him on his feet. Obama Bin Ladin, a major fanboy for Taylor Swift, has fought twice professionally. He made his debut in the QFC cage, submitting his opponent in the second round. He followed this up by outing Samuel Johns in BYFC. (Heavyweight Division) John Long (3-0) versus Leo Hulk (0-2) (Preview) John Long is a heavy handed boxer with three professional fights; all of which were ended by his brutal punching power. Long has defeated two opponents within BYFC thus far. Leo Hulk is making his BYFC debut. Unlike his opponent, Hulk has yet to secure his first professional victory. (Light-heavyweight Division) Tobin Frost (2-1) versus Bernardo Fagundes (4-0) (Preview) Tobin Frost is a BYFC regular, having fought three times for the promotion. All of his fights have ended via first round knockout (for and against him). Bernardo Fagundes is an undefeated (4-0) slugger that has fought in the QFC arena twice, and BYFC twice. (Super-heavyweight Division) Cluade Vamp (1-2) versus Vasily Virastuk (0-0) (Preview) Cluade Vamp is a career BYFC card filler, having out worked his debut opponent, and been knocked out by other regulars in subsequent performances. Vamp is an extremely high level boxer with absolutely no ground game. Vasily Virastuk is in a bad position... he is also a talented striker with no ground game. Virastuk is making his professional fighting debut in this fight. (Light-heavyweight Division) Furi Romu (0-1) versus Joe Wills (0-1) (Preview) Both of these gentlemen are making their BYFC debut, having been defeated in their professional fighting debuts in the QFC. Furi Romu was defeated in the clinch while Joe Wills scored some impressive takedowns before being submitted. http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/1420360511BYFCLogo1.1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[PROLOGUE] In our main event, we will be witness to a marquee matchup between the legendary Idi Ota as he takes on the private gym project fighter Rusty Hofnaker. In the co-main event, the heavyweight championship is on the line! Matt Byrne will look to defend his world championship from the experienced John Jackson! [OFFICIAL FIGHT CARD] [uNDERCARD FIGHTS] (Light-Heavyweight Division) Furi Romu versus Joe Wills Round 1 – Furi Romu appropriately entered to “Stars Align”, a nice bit of foreshadowing for actual fight. Furi Romu clinched right away, pushing Wills against the cage. From that position, Wills was restless, trying to force the breakage or get a takedown, with no success on either front. At about two minutes in, Romu started working the short range strikes, hurting Wills near the end of the round. This round was a clear domination for Furi Romu. Round 2 – Second verse, same as the first; Furi Romu clinched immediately. Joe Wills looked increasingly frustrated with each passing moment, and Romu slowly worked up to landing shots as the minutes flew by. Another one-sided affair for Romu. Round 3 – Romu clinched and Wills did everything he could to be anywhere else. Wills did get out of the clinch for a moment as he failed to take Romu down... but found himself pressed up against the cage in short order. By the end of the round, Furi Romu was quietly working Joe Wills over against the cage. Furi Romu def. Joe Wills via Unanimous Decision (30-26, 30-27, 30-27). (Super-Heavyweight Division) Cluade Vamp versus Vasily Virastuk Round 1 – Both of these fighters came rushing forward, looking to land strikes early; Cluade Vamp was winning the early exchanges, catching Virastuk with shots before bouncing out of range. Vasily Virastuk did land a nice body shot before playing a maddening game of clinch-and-release. Between clinches, Vamp was landing shots, but not even one minute in, Vamp was breathing heavily. Vasily Virastuk caught Vamp with a knee from the clinch, busting him open and putting him on his ass. Virastuk followed him to the ground, looking to finish, but got back to his feet when he saw his foe wasn't as out as he had imagined him to be. Vamp just wasn't the same after the knockdown; he stopped punching, was unable to stop the clinches, and was eating leg kicks and overhand punches. Back in the clinch, Virastuk caught him with another big knee that put him down. This time, Virastuk followed him to the ground and finished him in a flurry of strikes. Vasily Virastuk def. Cluade Vamp via TKO (Strikes) at 1:32 of round 1. (Light-Heavyweight Division) Tobin Frost versus Bernardo Fagundes Round 1 – As Tobin Frost circled his way inside, no doubt looking to set up his own punches, Bernardo Fagundes dropped him with a punching combination. Frost got back to his feet but he could feel the ice cracking under his weight. Fagundes socked it to him one more time and Frost went back down; Fagundes followed him down with more strikes and the referee stopped the fight. Brutal stuff from Fagundes. Bernardo Fagundes def. Tobin Frost via TKO (Strikes) at 0:05 of round 1. (Heavyweight Division) John Long versus Leo Hulk Round 1 – Leo Hulk was trying to use his footwork to give him the proper angle for a takedown. Against most guys it may have worked... John Long had no patience to suffer these tactics. John Long dodged Hulk's forward momentum like a bull fighter and gave him a shot to the side for good measure. He followed it up with an uppercut that dropped the hulk like the hammer Mjolnir. Leo Hulk got back to his feet only to get clobbered with a followup haymaker. John Long def. Leo Hulk via KO (Punch) at 0:17 of round 1. (Light-Heavyweight Division) John Reese versus Obama Bin Ladin Round 1 – The big talk going into this fight was that John Reese had worked out a new fitness routine and had reached a new plateau in terms of physical ability. That didn't show in this fight as Reese never managed to get the clinch that he so direly needed. In his fight with Rapid Deffence, Reese was able to bully his opponent against the cage. Knowing this was the game plan, Obama Bin Ladin kept circling away, tagging Reese with counter punches, combinations, and head kicks. Not even thirty seconds in, Ladin caught Reese diving in to clinch, knocking him silly with a head kick. Reese staggered to his feet so Ladin finished him with one more shot. Obama Bin Ladin def. John Reese via TKO (Strikes) at 0:28 of round 1. (Middleweight Division) Eva Contonio versus Saul Goodman Round 1 – Contonio missed a couple of wide swinging shots and Goodman landed a combination. Contonio clinched and Goodman tried to pull guard. The two broke free and met in the center of the cage. Both fighters were effectively evading the attacks of the other with one or two shots landing here and there. Both men were mixing takedown attempts into their striking but neither man was having much success with it. Three minutes in, Goodman caught Contonio with a right hand, and Contonio responded with a beautiful succession of strikes that hurt Goodman badly. With Saul Goodman hurt, Eva Contonio drove his opponent against the cage and overwhelmed him with a series of brutal strikes, forcing the stoppage. Eva Contonio def. Saul Goodman via TKO (Strikes) at 3:33 of round 1. (Light-Heavyweight Division) Yuji Nagata versus Mike Nickels Round 1 – Yuji Nagata was having a lot of trouble avoiding the striking of Mike Nickels. Right out of the gate, Nickels caught Nagata bobbing, tagging him with a firm uppercut that busted him open. Thirty seconds into the fight, Nickels brutalized Nagata with a series of strikes that put him on his back. Nickels smartly stepped back and allowed his submission enthusiast of an opponent to get back to his feet. Nagata stood and Nickels punished him with more strikes. Nagata pushed forward one minute in, trying to make something happen, but Mike Nickels is just a different kind of animal on the feet. It was only a matter of time, really. Nickels bum rushed Nagata with a sequence of rights and lefts that put the grappler down and out. Mike Nickels def. Yuji Nagata via KO (Punches) at 1:40 of round 1. (Super-Heavyweight Division) Justin Lewis versus Shane McLain Round 1 – Justin Lewis pushed forward early with punching combinations and head kicks, the latter of which opened a cut on the forehead of McLain. Lewis clinched with McLain and worked him with short punches, dropping McLain to one knee. Shane McLain quickly regained his footing before eating a series of hard shots a la Machida v Evans. When you're dealing with two heavy handed strikers like this, you knew one of them was going out before the first round ended. This victory advances Justin Lewis's overall win streak to six consecutive victories via first round knockout. Justin Lewis def. Shane McLain via KO (strikes) at 0:38 of round 1. [CO-MAIN EVENT] http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/belt/20150107044253BYFCBelt1.1.jpg(Heavyweight Division, Championship bout) Matt Byrne© versus John Jackson http://i.imgur.com/F14Vijy.jpg Round 1 – John Jackson tried to improve his standup to meet the heavyweight champion on the feet, but Matt Byrne was eating him up with his counter-striking. Jackson was swinging for the fences but leaving huge openings, which Byrne was happily exploiting. Forty seconds in, Jackson received a decent sized cut under his left eye but he kept pushing forward, trying to make his mark on the fight. A minute in, Byrne clinched with Jackson and hammered him with knees to the body. Jackson was landing some decent shots against the cage, doing much better than he had at a distance, but Byrne was still making him pay for every mistake. Nearly four minutes in, Jackson pulled guard and Byrne controlled him from on top until the round ended. http://i.imgur.com/MNcPQcg.jpg Round 2 – Jackson landed an early sequence of punches, giving Byrne a nasty cut. This only served to enrage the heavyweight champion; Byrne stuffed a takedown attempt from Jackson and hit him with a beautiful uppercut for his troubles. Sensing that Jackson was tiring, Byrne picked up the pace, busting Jackson up even more. Byrne was targetting that cut. Byrne clinched and the two fighters traded short punches against the cage. Byrne hammered Jackson with elbows right on that bloody mess of a cut. When the two fighters broke away from the clinch, the referee paused the action to take a look at the cut on John Jackson. The ringside doctor called the fight. Matt Byrne def. John Jackson via TKO (Doctor Stoppage) at 3:15 of round 2 to retain the Undisputed BYFC Heavyweight Championship of the World! http://i.imgur.com/71grUpp.jpg [MAIN EVENT] (Heavyweight Division) Idi Ota versus Rusty Hofnaker http://i.imgur.com/VSfOm3q.jpg Round 1 – Idi Ota clinched immediately but Rusty Hofnaker broke the clinch, only to drive Ota against the cage himself. Ota threw some knees but nothing really seemed to get through. Hofnaker broke the clinch and Ota established it right back, driving Hofnaker back to the cage. Idi Ota started working Rusty Hofnaker over with punches and knees. Not even one minute in, Hofnaker seemed to be tiring already from the shots to his body. Hofnaker was throwing punches, trying to hit anything he could. Ota busted Hofnaker up with short elbows. Hofnaker stopped punching and Ota picked up the pace, sensing a finish. Two minutes in, Hofnaker was taking deep breaths, bleeding profusely, and trying everything to get out of the clinch. Hofnaker landed a short knee and pushed off, circling away... but Ota pushed him back against the cage. Hofnaker goes for another knee, breaks free, and got clinched up again. This time, Ota landed a picture perfect knee right on the button. Ota landed one more and Hofnaker went down. That black belt offered Rusty Hofnaker little protection as Idi Ota pounded him out with his knee digging into Hofnaker's belly. The referee stopped the fight and an elated Idi Ota celebrated with his corner. Idi Ota def. Rusty Hofnaker via TKO (Strikes) at 2:56 of round 1. http://i.imgur.com/TrzzfHx.jpg NOTE: The original version of this review that I had painstakingly worked out included a ring card girl for every round. It was glorious and I had more fun than I would like to admit while collecting the images. Unfortunately, there is that pesky image limit to contend with, so only the co-main event and main event will be getting special treatment. Sorry guys.

Guest Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/1420360511BYFCLogo1.1.jpg Backyard Fight Club If the fighters don't get you, the gators will. BYFC 9: Hell 2Pay is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by: Backyard Fight Club in conjunction with Intensity sports supplements and the Backyard Brawlers alliance. This event will be held on March 13, 2015 at the Bondi Outdoor Arena in Sydney, Australia. [OFFICIAL FIGHT CARD] Middleweight Brian Jenen vs. Brody Macbeth Super-heavyweight Lee Noris© vs. Leroy Speed Lightweight Matt Damon vs. Bung Popper© Lightweight Jake FM vs. Arapeta Ma Aka Middleweight Minoru Suzuki vs. Brian McJensen Super-heavyweight Cluade Vamp vs. Vasily Virastuk Super-heavyweight BJ Hughes vs. Bo Collins Heavyweight Leo Hulk vs. Dennis Williams [MAIN EVENT] http://www.bjjee.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/UFC_Henderson-vs-Anderson-Silva_Staredown_mma4fight.jpg (Middleweight Division) Brian Jenen (8-13) versus Brody Macbeth (5-1) (Preview) Brian Jenen is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt that started his mixed martial arts career in the London QFC arena, submitting two consecutive opponents before dropping a unanimous decision loss. He fought twice at the Youth Showcase events, going 1-1 with the company, before signing to fight for Troid. This is where he fought the majority of his fights, amassing a record of 3 wins and eight losses. Following his final Troid fight, he competed in three more QFC shows, losing twice. In his BYFC debut, he faced Brody Macbeth for the vacant middleweight championship, and was defeated in the second round. Brody Macbeth started his mixed martial arts career in the Fortitude FC welterweight division, stopping two low ranked opponents. Macbeth offered to fight at FFC 9 when one of the main card fights fell through at the last minute. Macbeth challenged heavyweight slugger Xavier Barbossa to an openweight fight at that event; Barbossa immediately accepted. Despite the duo hyping the fight on social media, the organization would elect to give the slot to two other fighters instead. Macbeth revealed that he would have been fighting injured, but insisted that he should still fight Barbossa. The two would meet at FFC 10, one week later. Macbeth dominated Barbossa in the clinch, overwhelming the larger man with a constant flurry of strikes, before overwhelming and finishing him late in the third round. Macbeth would outstrike the heavyweight brawler 87-1. Next, Macbeth moved up to super-heavyweight when a lack of credible challengers forced the champion into limbo. Macbeth challenged reigning champion Peter James for his coveted championship at FFC 19, and was knocked out in just nineteen seconds when he opted to stand and brawl with the champion. Macbeth next rematched Barbossa at super-heavyweight; Barbossa claimed that the first fight was a fluke and that there was NO way the smaller man would pull off another upset victory. After Macbeth controlled Barbossa against the cage for the first round, Barbossa hurt Macbeth moments into the second round with a huge punching combination. Macbeth went down, got back to his feet, and immediately engaged Barbossa in the clinch. Brody Macbeth would once again finish Barbossa late in the third round. Macbeth would once again out-strike the bigger man, 160-3. Macbeth showed interest in a third fight with Barbossa, but it never came to pass, as Barbossa soon retired from the sport.

In his next performance, he was knocked out in the first round. Following these disappointments, Norris rebounded in a dominant decision victory against King Hippo (lol these names...). He then signed with Backyard Fight Club, stopping Frederick Bowles and Druss The Legend en route to his championship fight with Tom Eshton, to claim the vacant title. Noris defeated Eshton via first round stoppage due to strikes. Leroy Speed is a brawler that spent the majority of his career in the QFC arena, where he went 3-1.

He is a Jiu-Jitsu blue belt with two submissions under his name, making his promotional debut. He is straight out of the parking lot and straight into a championship fight with Bung Popper. “Wrecktal” Bung Popper is the BYFC lightweight champion. He started his career in a QFC show, just like his opponent, although he was submitted inside the first round. Not long after, Popper made his BYFC debut, annihilating Mark Davidson and Marvin Bagler. For his next fight, Popper was tasked with defeating Where Yo Girl to claim the vacant lightweight championship. Bung Popper would go on to defeat Yo Girl via unanimous decision, dominating Yo Girl in every aspect of the fight.

Following these two victories, Jake FM has been defeated twice, by both Anders Johnson and Henry Bach. FM is a Muay Thai stylist. Arapeta Ma Aka is a veteran QFC fighter, holding a 5-2 record there. He is unbeaten in his last three fights, with two of them coming in BYFC over Damon Newton and Shogun Ken, respectively. [uNDERCARD BOUTS] (Middleweight Division) Minoru Suzuki (2-4) versus Brian McJensen (0-1) (Preview) Minoru Suzuki started his fighting career in the New Extreme MMA promotion, going 2-3, and establishing himself as a dangerous submission fighter in that time. After moving to Sydney permanently, Suzuki signed to fight for Backyard Fight Club, facing Eva Contonio in his promotional debut. Suzuki was stopped by Contonio late in the final round of their fight. Brian McJensen is a pure striking stylist that made his professional MMA debut at BYFC 6: New Blood, where he was out matched by Captain Obvious, obviously. (Super-Heavyweight Division) Cluade Vamp (1-3) versus Vasily Virastuk (1-0) (Preview) Cluade Vamp is a former boxer that started his MMA career at BYFC 1, out pointing Dariw Brum in the process. He has since been defeated three times, losing each fight via first round stoppage due to strikes. Vasily Virastuk is a kickboxer that made his MMA debut at BYFC 8, stopping Cluade Vamp in the first round. This fight is a rematch of that one, as both men are pure standup fighters and match up well. (Super-Heavyweight Division) BJ Hughes (0-0) versus Bo Collins (3-2) (Preview) BJ Hughes is making his MMA debut here. He is reportedly a ground fighter with a blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu but not much else is known. Bo Collins started his MMA career at QFC Tournament 427, a heavyweight tournament. He defeated two opponents, and was stopped in the third round of the tournament. Since then, he has been defeated by Druss The Legend, and has rebounded with a defeat over Tom Hart. (Heavyweight Division) Leo Hulk (0-3) versus Dennis Williams (0-0) (Preview) Leo Hulk is a young freestyle fighter that has never won a fight in MMA. He has a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and has fought for Blunt Force Trauma, the QFC, and finally BYFC. Dennis Williams is one of my own personal fighters. I wanted to fill the card, so I threw him in. He is a project fighter from before my three month hiatus, meaning he had the potential to be incredible, but I fucked him over. Now, with half a skill set, and virtually no striking defense, this little bastard will be tested and probably shot in the back of the head as he cries over his brutal stoppage loss. God help me. http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/1420360511BYFCLogo1.1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/1420360511BYFCLogo1.1.jpg Backyard Fight Club If the fighters don't get you, the gators will. BYFC 10: Unfinished Business is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by: Backyard Fight Club in conjunction with Intensity sports supplements and the Backyard Brawlers alliance. This event will be held on March 28, 2015 at the Hard Knocks Casino & Arena in Sydney, Australia. (Super-heavyweight Division) Justin Lewis versus Tom Eshton (Preview) Justin Lewis is a former professional kickboxer that competed heavily in the Royal Fighting Championship, earning a record of 4-0 in that time. He has fought twice for BYFC; knocking out Druss The Legend and Shane McLain along the way. Tom Eshton is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt and former QFC regular. Like his opponent, he has fought twice for BYFC, submitting Frederick Bowles, and was stopped by Lee Noris in his bid for the super-heavyweight championship. (Middleweight Division, Championship bout) Brody Macbeth© versus Brian Jenen (Preview) Brody Macbeth started his MMA career in the Fortitude FC welterweight division. After climbing the ranks slowly, Macbeth took the opportunity to challenge a heavyweight contender, defeating him via TKO in the third round. When a heavyweight title shot was not available, Macbeth moved up even further in weight, and was defeated by the super-heavyweight champion in the first round. After rebounding with a dominant TKO victory in his next fight, Macbeth took some time off from mixed martial arts. He next appeared at BYFC 6, defeating Brian Jenen to claim the vacant middlewight title. Following the fight, Macbeth helped Jenen with his training, figuring that they weren't likely to fight again for a while. The plan would backfire in a way, as the two would soon be asked to rematch on short notice to help salvage a card. The fight was billed as a non-title contest; one which Jenen would win via first round armbar. Believing that Jenen was the one true middleweight champion, Macbeth called for an immediate rematch, and was quoted as saying, “Look, I don't care what anybody says; Brian Jenen is the undisputed Backyard Middleweight Champion of the World. He submitted me, clear as day. He is blessing me with a rematch and a chance to reclaim my belt. This is me getting a title shot at the defending champion, not the other way around.” Brian Jenen is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt that started his mixed martial arts career in the London QFC arena, submitting two consecutive opponents before dropping a unanimous decision loss. He fought twice at the Youth Showcase events, going 1-1 with the company, before signing to fight for Troid. This is where he fought the majority of his fights, amassing a record of 3 wins and eight losses. Following his final Troid fight, he competed in three more QFC shows, losing twice. In his BYFC debut, he faced Brody Macbeth for the vacant middleweight championship, and was defeated in the second round. After the fight, Jenen would train with Macbeth briefly. In a surprising turn of events, he would rematch Macbeth on short notice, submitting him in the opening round. But, I sort of just wrote that already. (Super-heavyweight Division, Championship bout) Lee Noris© versus Bo Collins (Preview) Lee Noris is the undisputed super-heavyweight champion of the world. He uses a Greco Roman wrestling base, focusing heavily on knees and takedowns from the clinch. His ground and pound is some of the best in the division. He fought his first three MMA fights for the Royal Fighting Chmpionship, winning once. He immediately signed to fight for Backyard Fight club, stopping Frederick Bowles and Druss The Legend before facing Tom Eshton for the vacant title. Noris would go on to stop Eshton in the first round of their fight. Most recently, Noris defended his championship when he defeated Leroy Speed via unanimous decision. Bo Collins is a former amateur wrestler that uses his strong clinchwork to set up a takedown along the cage. He started his mixed martial arts career in the QFC tournament, defeating Zach Boldero and Calvin Kastelum, before being stopped by Junior Dos Santos in the third round of the tournament. Next he was defeated by Druss The Legend at BYFC 2. He rebounded with dominant performances over Tom Hart and BJ Hughes. (Super-heavyweight Division) Thunder Horse versus Leroy Speed (Preview) Thunder Horse is an undefeated former collegiate wrestler that turned his sights on mixed martial arts. He fought his first three MMA fights in the QFC arena, winning all three fights in dominating fashion. He will be making his BYFC debut in this fight. Leroy Speed is a QFC and BYFC veteran that was undefeated in four fights before being defeated by Lee Noris for the super-heavyweight championship. Leroy is a brawler that holds a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. (Heavyweight Division) Leo Hulk versus Vin Ryyker (Preview) Leo Hulk is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt that has fought four times in mixed martial arts... with four consecutive defeats. He has competed for the Blunt Force Trauma org, the QFC, and twice for BYFC. Vin Ryyker is making his professional fighting debut here; he is reportedly a fisticuffs enthusiast that holds a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. (Light-heavyweight Division) Furi Romu versus Joe Wills (Preview) Before he started fighting professionally, Furi Romu was just a fight fan that was obsessed with Kung Fu movies. Since coming to mixed martial arts, Romu has molded into a strong clinch fighter. In his professional debut, he was knocked out in the QFC by Vassago Ballardo. He followed this by signing to fight for BYFC, defeating Joe Wills in his debut. And his opponent once again will be Joe Wills. They are pretty evenly matched; Wills is a clinch fighter as well. Like his opponent, Wills made his MMA debut with a defeat in the QFC. And, of course, his next fight was a defeat to Romu in his BYFC debut. (Lightweight Division) Bung Popper versus Takahiro Sato (Preview) Bung Popper is the reigning Backyard Fight Club Lightweight Champion of the world; he started his mixed martial arts career in the QFC, which would result in his only career defeat at the hands of Reesalo Cherubim. Immediately afterwards, Popper signed to fight for BYFC; he has been undefeated ever since, with four dominant performances. He has successfully defended his championship one time, and this was supposed to be the second. Unfortunately, this fight has been billed as a non-championship contest. Takahiro Sato is a Japanese born mixed martial arts fighter with a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Much like Megan Trainor is bringing booty back, Takahiro Sato is “bringing Bushido back” with his ferocious fighting style. All three of his professional bouts have been in the QFC arena.

Grump Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 205 weight class I wish u the best of luck with Ikarus Frye and the Backyard Fighting Club. They wouldnt know a FAIR fight from a green tree. Take a look at who they are contracting now to fight with your fighter. Frank "Dez" Fernandez (202946) Record 11-9-0 And with a creation number of 202946 do u really think this will be a "fair" fight for ur fighter? His manager owns a gym....so u can bet he getting excellent training. This fighter is 35 years old and was created 16 Dec, 2012. Thats 2 and 1/2 years...and how long has ur fighter been in the gym? and elite gym??? Do u REALLY think thats a fair fight? Can u really believe they even contracted this guy to come in and stomp ur guts out? This is FAR FAR FAR from being "fair" even for a retard to consider.The ONLY competition this Fernandez has...is Kyle "Dutchecutioner" Branson (156560) who ALSO should have never been contracted to an org with so many noob fighters. Now lets look at Branson to see how FAIRLY he matches up with your fighter...Kyle "Dutchecutioner" Branson (156560) Record 15-9-0 and with a creation number of 156560...he been around even longer than Fernandez! Around 3 years in the gym ! So now look at the other weight classes...same thing is happening...not all of them yet but look and see...3 of the 5 weight classes have fighters that are so far beyond the rest of the roster they should of never been signed. Kinda sucks to know u aint got a chance in hell of getting a belt I think...also kinda sucks to see the proof that Ikarus Frye dont give a shit about the record of ur fighter and you...he just wants to make money. Things were being handled pretty good by David Slade...but when Ikarus took over...its slowly going downhill.So good luck to all of you who dont have fighters with 3 years of gym time....over half of the fighters in this org are less than 6 months old and have less than 3 fights....and now they are expected to fight these MUCH older and stronger fighters? Its wrong man...just flat out wrong!I advise you to decline fight offers and sit in the gym until ur contract runs out...thats what I plan to do. Im not going to accept even an easy fight...a couple months in the gym wont hurt me a bit. Let Ikarus fight his older/stronger fighters against each other every event. He probably wont even notice. Last month I had a championship belt in this org...do u know the contract ran out and they didnt even bother to renew it? For a champion? And after he left Sydney...and joined another org...it was still 2 weeks before they took the belt. Somebody cant handle the job of being an org owner thats the problem here. David Slade you will be missed...and Backyard will crumble and die without you...or someone to carry Ikarus around... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 agree with rabid on this one. i get the org owner was trying to bring more hype in.... but there are better ways to do that. such as dedicated divisions that have open id to get more hyped fighters. granted BYFC is not a id restricted org.... fair fights are more than just primaries. fair fights take id into account also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
