[Squiiid28]

Babinski is lucky- been totally outclassed last 2 fights and got away with it.

 

*OUTCLASSED*

 

Akinwande ducks right into an uppercut from Babinski.

Babinski cracks a nice hook into Akinwande's ribs.

The fighters circling - Akinwande throws out the jab but it was never going to land.

Akinwande misses with an uppercut

and Babinski counters with a head kick that crumples his opponent - he's in a world of trouble! Babinski looks at the referee who does nothing so Babinski lands a crushing right that sends Akinwande to the floor! This time the ref steps in to end the fight.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:33 of round 5, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Alexei Babinski! Alexei Babinski retains his heavyweight title!

 

 

Babinski stalks Spanner and leaps in with a furious combination of punches. Uppercuts and crosses smash into Spanner's face. Spanner staggers backwards, shaken.

Babinski lands with a hook. Spanner tried to avoid it but it clipped the top of his head.

 

The referee calls the doctor in to look at Bleeding Spanner's cut. Oh no, the doctor has called an end to the bout!

 

 

 

Fusi avoids a lazy jab quite easily.

Fusi throws a nice hook to the body that draws an oooh from the crowd.

Akinwande is breathing heavily.

Akinwande drops his hands momentarily. Fusi doesn't need a second invitation, landing a shot to the temple. Akinwande staggers and falls to the mat and the ref dives in to save him from any more punishment. Akinwande doesn't seem happy with the stoppage but he was done.

Put some respeckt on Babinskis name!

• Has 8 successful title defenses in the Underground FC

• Experienced with a veteran manager that has thrived in big fights

• Finds a way to win; has never been in real danger in entire career

• This is definitely main event for the SFL 185 pound title worthy

 

Prediction

• I believe that Atunes is the more complete fighter and will use his mild aggression to make his opponent miss and counter with high accuracy to make his opponent miss and eventually wear him down with exhaustion. Parrot’s heart is unknown in this fighter however. If it is high, don’t expect him to go down without severely hurting his opponent. Both fighters could potentially get rocked in this fight. Definitely worth of the main event

• Method: Atunes TKO (Punches)

 

Phil “Testosterone’ Coleman

• Is sporting a Tycoon World Grappling Championship Belt

• Undefeated in the TWGC

• Is a former successful Island Fighter

• Also, continued a good record in the main gain, despite having less stats (not a project)

• Is a more experienced fighter which is a good stat to have in an even grappling match

• Almost won the title in the Underground when in was a top 10 organization

• (This is very impressive for a former Island Fighter, which is harder to grow and maintain in the main game

• Is a heavier fighter than Severini, however is the same height.

• My belief is that this weight will allow him to control Severini successfully combined with the BJJ skills in order to pound out and wear down his opponent

• Is the more experienced fighter, will this aid his grappling as well? We will find out tomorrow

 

Dom Severini

• Has eleven wins by knockout

• He is always game and ready to go

• Key hidden is his big heart, if he gets rocked on the feet, I expect him to win this fight with his slick boxing & big right hand

• Was also created as a win now fighter (not a prospect)

• This definitely makes this fight fair, as they are not too far in stats from each other most likely

 

Prediction: Coleman (TKO: Strikes) (GNP)

- Is the better boxer than Jay Dog Simon

 

Prediction: Simon (Decision)

FIGHT OF THE YEAR

KNOCKOUT OF THE YEAR

CONTENDER ALERT !!!

Edison Atunes (17-0) with his stunning knockout via axe kick over Pate Parret (14-1) in R2

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/belt/2020052523562320091218000349SFLbelt.jpg

New York City, NY - Almost 20,000 fans piled into Madison Square Garden in spite of recent protest and COVID restrictions to witness MMA's Fight of the Week on SFL's first ever PPV. Edison Atunes improved to 17-0 after beating previously undefeated Pate Parret (14-1) in an instant classic and a FOTY and KOTY contender.

We heard rumors that Atunes was foolishly drilling his takedown defense before this fight and it sure looked like it in the first minute, Parret came out and floored Atunes with a head kick in the opening frame that would of killed an ordinary fighter. But Atunes is no ordinary fighter, he rose to his feet, and he and Parret got back down to business. Parret was patient as he continued out working Atunes for most of the first round but Atunes was landing some blistering hard shots of his own. Pate looked poised, cool, and collected the entire bout, as he was all smiles in there and once high fived Edison after jacking him in the jaw. The two stood toe to toe the entire round but Parret dominated most of it until he ate a really stiff jab right to the mouth from Atunes that rattled him before the bell.

As the fighters walked back to their corners Edison looked outside the cage to find Karter and nodded like he knew he had him.

Karter and the rest of the Convicted Inc entourage were on the edge of their seats watching the hard-hitting, action-packed, minute of highlights on the jumbotron as Steel barked orders at Atunes like an old school Lanista from the Roman empire days.

Round 2 started and Edison tried to find home with that right hand again but Parret landed an array of leg kicks that had him hobbling a bit, clearly feeling the power behind his Finnish counterpart. After the first 7 minutes of the fight the announcers started to question whether Atunes was better suited to take the fight into the clinch or to the mat because he was visibly losing the stand up fight...

That was until Edison landed his trademark right hand that rocked Parret and sent him sprawling to the canvas, rolling over backwards springing off the cage to his feet like a spider monkey in an incredible display of acrobatics, but he was still wobbly and clearly hurt. Edison smelled blood and went in for the kill as he lined up a perfect finish fit for a Mortal Kombat fatality lifting his leg into the air and landing a stunning axe kick that knocked Pate Parret out cold and shocked the world.

It was a battle of the ages that will go down in the annals of SFL and MMA history. With this win Edison successfully unified the Underground and Rapid FC Middleweight titles and solidifies his place as the SFL World Champion and #1 Middleweight prospect on the planet. For anybody who questioned his toughness and heart or ever doubted that he was battle tested, he silenced every critic with this victory.

SFL 09 | HELL’S KITCHEN REVIEW
MADISON GARDEN ARENA

Xavier: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Madison Garden Arena in the Big Apple!

Styles: It’s wonderful to be back in New York! It’s been a while since I’ve been here and I’ve already seen some ladies that I need to get to know better!

Xavier: Always the ladies man, aren’t you?

Styles: Damn right! I know we have to be wary of COVID and all, but dammit, I still have a life to live and plenty of ladies to know! Zoom has been great in terms of meeting a lot of new ladies quickly but there’s definitely no way to replace an actual human being!

Xavier: We definitely concur on that! There’s no replacing the human touch. I know there are synthetic dolls and all of that crap but hell to the no on that! Give me a woman’s touch any day!

Styles: Well, if the synthetic doll doesn’t have an attitude, no special time of the month and a woman is down with integrating that doll into what we’re doing, then…

Xavier: That’s enough of that, Styles!

Styles: I’m just sayin’!

Xavier: Let’s get down to business before we catch a harassment case from HR!

Styles: HR around here? Please! SFL is all about bringing the best of what you got and if it’s talkin’ crap then so be it!

Xavier: I can’t argue that point.

WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION: FAN “TWO TOES” BOI (5-3; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)
VERSUS
MALACHI “THE ALMIGHTY” LAWRENCE (9-8; CURRENT STREAK: 4 LOSSES)

Xavier: I don’t know if Boi is really working with two toes or if that nickname means something else, but in this fight, he’s less experienced, has a disadvantage in Muay Thai, and better dance on those two toes to avoid getting knocked out. He can hope to outwrestle Lawrence to win by unanimous decision, because that’s the only way I see him winning this fight!

Styles: “Almighty” is having an almighty slide down the losing streak side of life! If he’s going to avoid falling to an even record then he’s going to have to use that Muay Thai advantage to his advantage, lock Boi into a clinch, and go to work on him until he either falls over unconscious!

PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Boi by Unanimous Decision; Styles – Lawrence by KO

WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION: ALY MAGOMEDOV (4-4; CURRENT STREAK: 2 WINS)
VERSUS
“THE UNWANTED ASSASSIN” ROBERT MUNSON (3-2; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Styles: Magomedov, who should be a fitness model, will want to do as much damage in the standup portion of this fight to soften Munson up for the takedown he seeks! Once he gets this fight to the ground, his aggression will be able to overcome Munson despite him being technically just as skilled in BJJ. Munson wins this by submission!

Xavier: If Munson can crack Magomedov’s jaw before he’s able to attempt any takedowns then Munson will be sitting pretty. If he finds that slowing Magomedov down with striking isn’t getting the job done then he can either try to land power strikes from counterattacks or even take a bigger risk and lock Magomedov into a clinch and land a multitude of strikes for points. Munson will win this fight by knockout!

PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Munson by KO; Styles – Magomedov by Submission

LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION: YVES “THE MAD BUMPBER” TRUDEAU (5-8; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)
VERSUS
KOLLAA RIVER (6-2; CURRENT STREAK: 4 WINS)

Xavier: This will be an interesting fight because Trudeau recently knocked out Raistlin Majere and may be feeling very confident heading into this fight. The approach is simple: Keep this fight vertical and ugly and he has a chance of winning two fights in a row for the first time in a long time! Trudeau wins by knockout!

Styles: The world class boxer is going to have to be wary of Trudeau’s brutal kicks in this fight. If he can let his educated fists light up Trudeau’s jaw in the standup while avoiding having his head kicked off then he’s solid. If that doesn’t get the job done then he drags this fight to the ground and gets the tapout! River takes this one home by submission!

PREDICTIONS: Styles – River by Submission; Xavier – Trudeau by KO

LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION: “FLUE” CHE VON CRU (5-3; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)
VERSUS
BALDUR TORSTEN (4-3; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Styles: YABAI combat is featured between these two young lions! Both are 22-year-old prodigies that are well ahead of their time in terms of skill levels. Despite that, they’re both struggling a bit with consistency but YABAI wins this fight either way. For Cru, his very slight height advantage coupled with an assumed speed advantage is key to victory tonight! Pressure and energetic output will bring this one home for him by unanimous decision!

Xavier: Torsten is technically not quite up to Cru’s speed but I think the Norwegian has more power than Cru and power gives anyone a puncher’s chance of winning by knockout! As long as Torsten doesn’t get caught up in the clinch game that potentially Cru could try to lock him in if he sees he can’t rock Torsten’s chin with his educated hands, Torsten will be able to knock out his fellow alliance member! Torsten takes this home by knockout!

PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Torsten by KO; Styles – Cru by Unanimous Decision

LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION: JONNY BAKER (11-10-1; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)
VERSUS
KORYU “LEERE HAND” MIYAGI (4-2; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Xavier: Baker faces a tough battle because he’s technically inferior to Miyagi, so he’s going to have to show a lot of heart and desire in this fight to win. Counterattacking in the standup is probably going to be his best bet because he doesn’t want to risk having this fight to the ground where he could potentially lose on points. Baker will have to unleash as much power as he has to land the one clean strike he needs to win this fight by knockout!

Styles: While in the standup, Miyagi should be able to take advantage of his superior skills and dictate the pace of this fight, plus, if nothing else, he can lock Baker into a clinch. If he opts to do that, he can land faster and more accurate strikes and move ahead on the judges’ scorecards. However, Miyagi is anxious for a knockout and he knows this is a prime opportunity to do just that! Miyagi wins this fight by knockout!

PREDICTIONS: Styles – Miyagi by KO; Xavier – Baker by KO

Styles: Now we move to the Top 5 fights for tonight’s card!

 

MIDDLEWEIGHT DIVISION: NED “FUCKING” KELLY (5-3; CURRENT STREAK: 5 WINS)
VERSUS
STERLING “RANDO” ARCHER (4-2; CURRENT STREAK: 2 LOSSES)

Styles: The man with the very blunt nickname steps into battle from Glerowan, Australia, and represents Keyboard Warriors. The 24-year-old brings solid boxing, excellent Muay Thai, very good wrestling and a brown belt to this battle, and this man is riding a very solid wave of confidence from the 5-fight winning streak he has earned after a rough start to his career. I expect Kelly to take full advantage of his Muay Thai abilities and pepper Archer with a multitude of kicks. Should he find himself struggling to finish Archer in this fight, he can lock him into a clinch where he should be able to control the pace and space of this fight. Locking him in a clinch is a calculated risk because he could potentially be taken to the ground, but if that happens then he has enough BJJ ability to prevent himself from being tapped out of beaten by ground and pound. I think Kelly has enough ability and skill to take this fight home by knocking Archer out!

Xavier: When I saw Archer earlier tonight, he absolutely didn’t look like a man ready for a fight, and that’s bad news for him. It seems the two losses in a row have taxed him more mentally than he may care to admit but it’s written all over his face and in his body language! That’s going to be very difficult to deal with because he needs to be in top form to be able to deal with Kelly’s superior Muay Thai ability, let alone his ability to rock his jaw! Archer is going to have to dig deeper than he ever has if he’s going to have any chance of winning this fight, and it’s going to have to be by counterattacking with accurate and damaging power! Unfortunately, Styles, I don’t see that happening at all. Kelly wins this fight by knockout!

PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Kelly by KO; Styles – Kelly by KO

HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION: LATROY JOHNSON (9-4; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)
VERSUS
“BIG” KEVIN MCGUIRE (4-1; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Xavier: This is a fight that you’re going to greatly enjoy, Styles, because it’s an inter-alliance battle featuring NAUGHTLY CREW. The 25-year-old Johnson from Houston likes to intimidate his opponents with The Undertaker slit throat gesture, though I’m not certain intimidation will work on McGuire! Nonetheless, Johnson has a solid experience battle in this fight, and he brings Golden Gloves level boxing, solid Muay Thai, good wrestling and a purple belt. He’s going to want to keep this fight in the vertical base where he has the best chance to test McGuire’s chin with crushing strikes. Landing clean power shots will enable him to try and finish this fight as quickly as possible while avoiding being dragged to the ground. If this fight goes to the ground, both men may struggle to gain control or finish the other, and that’s a risk neither one of them want to take because the judges may make a decision they don’t concur with. Johnson will look to aggressively pressure McGuire and score the knockout!

Styles: The 23-year-old from St. Joe steps into this battle with very good boxing, excellent Muay Thai, solid wrestling and a purple belt. McGuire has shown that he carries enough boom in his fists to turn the lights out on any opponent, but he also has a submission victory to his credit. He’s a bit taller than Johnson but I don’t think he’ll be interested in trying to score a submission, especially since he’s not that much better than Johnson in the grappling aspect of battle. In a fight such as this, especially against an opponent who presumably knows you very well since you’re in the same alliance, outthinking Johnson will be key for McGuire. Both of these men have the ability to drop the other with one solid strike but neither of these men have the ability to withstand a lot of damaging strikes to the chin. If McGuire can literally beat Johnson to the punch then he can accomplish what Johnson hopes to and end this fight early with a knockout!

PREDICTIONS: Styles – McGuire by KO; Xavier – Johnson by KO

WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION: GABRIEL “TARANTULA” TORRES (13-5; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)
VERSUS
JACKSON “DRIP” POLLOCK (7-3; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Styles: The 24-year-old Peruvian from Arequipa brings his unusual hair and solid skills into this fight looking to get back on the winning side of life. The submission specialist brings solid boxing, good Muay Thai, very good wrestling and a black belt to the fight. He has an experience advantage tonight and will need every bit of it to get Pollock to the ground where he has his best chance to win! While this fight remains standing, he’s going to have to tag Pollock fast and heavy to rock him to open his defenses for the takedown he’ll be looking for. If he’s not able to secure the takedown he needs, he definitely doesn’t want to take a chance of getting locked into a clinch with Pollock because he could very well lose the scoring battle and that would be a waste of various opportunities, of course, to finish this fight. Avoiding Pollock’s kicks because they could be the difference maker. In a very calculate and difficult fight, Torres will eventually lock in the submission he needs to emerge victorious!

Xavier: The 25-year-old YABAI member from Cody, Wyoming, knows his best chance to win tonight is to keep this fight in the standup. Although highly skilled in wrestling, his BJJ abilities may not enable him to avoid being locked into a submission that forces him to tap out. To avoid that possibility, accurate strikes to score vital points while preventing Torres from getting comfortable and shooting into various takedown attempts is key. Obviously, if Pollock can land powerful strikes to hurt Torres and set him up to be finished then Pollock will go full force towards achieving that goal! Pollock isn’t known as a power striker per se, but he does have a few TKO finishes to his credit so Torres can’t underestimate his power whatsoever. Pollock has also shown the propensity to stretch a fight out to its entirety while staying ahead on the scorecards while avoiding major damage. Thus far he hasn’t been knocked out and that will enable him to be more aggressive in seeking the knockout he’ll score to win tonight!

PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Pollock by KO; Styles – Torres by Submission

MIDDLEWEIGHT DIVISION: JAKE “THE TACOMA AX-KILLER” BIRD (9-4; CURRENT STREAK: 2 WINS)
VERSUS
COLIN KAEPERNICK (13-3; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Xavier: Here we have the classic ground versus standup fighter as the 24-year-old warrior from Louisiana looks to get this fight grounded as soon as possible and keep it there. The FinnFighters’ representative has solid boxing, decent Muay Thai, outstanding wrestling and a black belt. Obviously, he wants to put his grappling capabilities on full display and keep this fight where he’s most comfortable for obvious reasons, but he also wants to avoid potentially taking major damage from the hard-hitting Kaepernick at all costs! While this fight is in the vertical plane, he’s going to have to rely on his boxing skills and avoid being kicked upside the head or locked into a clinch. If Bird finds himself in a clinch, then he’s going to have to do everything he can to avoid taking damage from Kaepernick’s knees because that could be the beginning of the end! Bird is going to have to be patient with his striking and once he’s able to catch Kaepernick off balance, Bird will have to put all he has into landing a takedown and moving immediately into position to finish this fight by submission!

Styles: The Convicted Inc. member from Montreal, Canada, has a very good overall record and has shown that his aggression pays off, especially if he’s able to lock his opponent into a clinch and let his knees fly! There’s no doubt that he wants to add Bird to this list of victims, but he also has to be careful because his chin isn’t the best. He was recently dropped early in the second round, though Pedro Fuentes is definitely capable of knocking out a great many opponents. That loss snapped a 5-fight winning streak, but he defeated Aaron Lund at SFL 03 to get back into the winning side of life and wants to use that momentum to get a good jump on Bird tonight. I think it will be very smart of him to rely on his kicks to soften Bird up for clean strikes and a clinch should the need arise. I expect Kaepernick to be very aggressive in this fight because if he finishes Bird quickly, he obviously has no concerns with getting his chin rocked because the fight will be over! Kaepernick wins by knockout!

PREDICTIONS: Styles – Kaepernick by KO; Xavier – Bird by Submission

WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION: LITILL “MINI MOUNTAIN” BJORNSSON (35-4; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)
VERSUS
GIUSEPPE TURTURRO (11-5; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Styles: The legendary Bjornsson brings his incredible ability to continue defeating opponents who technically are superior to him using his outstanding will and passion! The 32-year-old Icelandic warrior from Reykjavik looks to continue cementing his legacy be defeating another outstanding opponent. He obviously wants to get this fight on the ground because it’s a dangerous undertaking to stay standing and try to go toe-to-toe against Turturro, especially since Turturro’s Muay Thai is much better. Bjornsson is going to have to outthink Turturro and use his aggression against him to cause him to miss a power strike or combination. Once he does that, he’ll be able to score the takedown he needs to get this fight to his comfort zone. Once he establish that, he’ll be able to keep this fight on the ground where he can either try and control the pace of this fight or, obviously, look to score the submission to finish this fight right then and there! Bjornsson wins this tough battle by submission!

Xavier: The 26-year-old Italian from Siciliy represents Convicted Inc. tonight, and very similar to Bjornsson, he wants to get this fight to the ground where he can be most effective. With solid boxing, respectable Muay Thai, outstanding wrestling and a black belt, this will definitely be a calculated battle for him, especially due to the massive experience disadvantage he has against Bjornsson! Since Turturro is six years younger, he absolutely could opt to try and wear down Bjornsson with quick, accurate strikes, especially to the body, and when he slows the older more damaged warrior down, he can then look to land more power strikes and he may even opt to keep this fight standing if he sees that he can keep the pressure up while moving ahead on the judges’ scorecards! If and when this battle goes to the ground, methodical pacing and looking to outbattle Bjornsson using counterstriking and transitions to move himself into dominant positions to potentially finish this fight by submission!

PREDICTIONS: Xavier – Turturro by Submission; Bjornsson by Submission

Xavier: That’s our time, ladies and gentlemen! We always appreciate the time and attention you give us, and we hope we’ve provided you valuable insight into the fights that you’re interested in.

Styles: Naturally, we want to thank Conquer for being our excellent merchandise partner and we hope we’ve made you excited for these fights tonight because we’re definitely looking forward to the action that unfolds in the cage! On behalf of Xavier Styles, I’m Furious Styles, wishing all of you well and we’ll see you at the fights!

[poraan]

I have to say that I wasnt sure what to expect with Parret. I was thinking a lot before getting into this fight and at the end realised that its just fight and losing isnt big thing. That first loss always feels worst.

 

Result was decent and in the end it could have gone either way. Parret landed 3 headkicks overall and could have finished with every single of those.

Im probably training him and thinking later where hes starting hes non id career.

 

He has never felt like super guy, maybe because i think out of my fighters. Tantor, Namazusuki, Pinto, Okafor etc have real potential. Chin/chin hidden just cannot be superstar and KO/chin is probably best possible hidden set to start finding out other hiddens.

 

At 340k theres plenty of good guys, but i think theres also plenty of champs that have gotten quite easy opponents. Like Izzy Banging and Parret. And maybe Atunes too, hes chin will be huge problem against guys with KO power.

Izzy Bangin ha! More like Izzy Hiding.

 

Was a hell of a fight and Pate looked as good as advertised. How does Papi Tantor feel about his team mate going down? Can't help but wonder if Atunes 17-0 vs Tantor 12-0 on the horizon...

[jjsquirrel]

It may have been by the smallest of margins, but Litill Bjornsson once again did it. After working himself back into shape from semi-retirement as a grappling instructor at the Punch-Out gym he is once again back in competitive MMA at 340K where he dominated the premier org of that range during the glory days of RFC. That torch is now carried on by SFL (with some alteration of the components being burned).

 

Bjornsson may not be as dominant as he once was, but his win over much younger Turturro proves he still got it. 40 fights, never ko:ed, never tapped. His only 4 losses was to the judges. He once faced everything the Stepdads had to throw at him, made them tap more mat than moms for months. Has the turn now come to Convicted? Doubtful. They did take young boy Turturro under their wings after his mom was scandalously revealed to actually be his dad (to great disappointment of many Stepdads). But considering the only way to defeat Bjornsson is by judges decision Convicted Big Don, Dean of weed, white Jesus himself CK better stay away from escalating this possible rivalry any further considering he cannot even bribe a judge properly to avoid a doctor stoppage over a little blood.

 

Who knows, maybe Convicted and La Familia will just decide to settle things by having the real king of 340K once more smear Maluga all over the octagon? With the bleed guy & friends flocking to the PPV for that one it may even recover some of the money CK somehow keeps losing despite totally dominating Camara.

[Steel]

Shocking match up for Turturro - his build is dreadful, one of the worst one dimensional builds Ive seen. His only strength was weaker than Bjornessons bread and butter , so we boxed - and thats shit too lol.

Well done though - did think hed counter grapple and try for a sub but ground sliders arent my thing.

Kudos for the win.

Not a good look, first, you fight ur "champ champ" at 200 lbs in a 205 lbs weight division cuz ur desperate for any advantage you can get. Second, you got OUTCLASSED twice in ur own weight class against the actual champ but ur making these bold claims... i mean I kinda get it, ur on a high from beating hopkins. And you feel like since u beat the legend u can achieve anything, but this just ain't it. Also, make sure if you ever want to fight at 265, u get that weight up enough for me to respect you. Or you can beg me.

[ClubberWinger]

good org

[Steel]

Lomax- ah Babinski , youre really optimistic that youll still be champ when I get to 265? Good luck with that chump.

As for weight, on my way , hadnt actually noticed I was light but youre showing youre a whiny bitch. You wont be champ long, youve fought no one and Ill take on the champ at New Years. You boy will watching or on my undercard.

[Squiiid28]

Definitely will be the champ. Babinski has already defeated the best 340k has to offer. 2020 is our year. And its funny how ur ignorance to ur own fighters weight makes you so defensive but I mean I get why you are upset tho... I did heartbreakingly finish ur boy in the 5th round. (One of those nobodies you're talking about) http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=1011507

Squid - note it’s smack you’re talking to Lomax not Crassus not Akinwande

As Crassus I go into character as Lomax too.

The point is I’m keeping the SFL smack thread ticking over until the reviews.

As manager- fair point on the weight, it’s something I’ve whinged about in the past, so I’ll put it right.

Clearly Joseppe didn’t see it as a factor or he would have kicked off. As manager- hopefully Lomax vs Hopkins II happens soon because as it’s needle match.

Hopefully we beat Coleman - but who the fuck knows with Lomax- and Tany wins , and we get the 3rd fight.

On the off chance L beats T fighting H would be interesting.

 

So chaps it’s smack - Randall is a great guy and Tany posts in character.

 

Ok I’m now off to emulate guys in the Tour de France , only slower and with cake and a cappuccino.

I’m not character when I ride - lol

 

CK is the one true god.

SFL 15 - Red Panty Night

 

September 29 sees SFL 15 - and Light Heavyweight Superstar Vincent ' The Golden One' Lomax headline another card and he takes a another step towards the Hall of Fame.

 

Lomax who has seen off Hopkins and Coleman without breaking a sweat takes on over achiever Joe Derrick, for as long as Lomax chooses the fight to last.

 

Lomax is targeting both the 205 and 265 belts held by fighters Lomax himself described over the weekend as 'crap'.

 

Joe Derrick commented on getting a dream match up against Lomax: " Absolute honour, before the fight I am gonna get Vincent to sign my gloves, shorts, hell even my mum wants to meet him, he's a legend. I'm nervous as hell, but I'll get myself the best private medical insurance money can buy and make sure the family take lots of photos come fight night. I'd like to thank Chris Karter, he is the one true god for allowing me to share a cage with the Vincent who is a huge hero of mine.'

[jjsquirrel]

Conor the Barbarian came looking for a fight alright and things escalated fast when he found Marcus Crassus in full spartan outfit. We don't know if this is something he only wears for causal friday at the SFL office or if he was expecting a persian invasion. Another of the many things Conor also don't know is the difference between a spartan and a viking.

 

"FOR CROM!" he shouted as he drew his sword and rushed in to deliver any vikings in his path to Valhalla. To some extent you have to understand him. He has been hunting this viking for weeks. First trying to get a superfight while reigning as the king of RFC. Then he hears rumours of the viking having travelled to the icy north. He followed him to Canada in his quest for blood, but all he found was this silver belt with a red maple leaf. Not too shabby as loot goes, but not the horned helmet he craved for his trophy cabinet. Last thing he heard the viking was to be found in Amsterdam. Not fully the same undefeated viking he was once hunting, but only slightly worse for wear with a single loss. Well, what happens in LA stays in LA, the barbarian doesn't dwell on such things. He still wants that horned helmet.

 

Chaos ensued. TJ came rushing forward holding up his private mod badge "stop right there, no biting, no eye-goughing, no bladed weapons". A mighty swing was about to send him not to valhalla but to whatever afterlife awaits mods, probably some hot place down under. In the last second Hei Long King saved his heir by felling the prince to the ground with a quick leg sweep. Against the angry barbarian though no amount of wing chun would save anyone for long. The rest of the room seemed to have drawn the same conclusion. Gwad was covering behind his typewriter. Several people were shouting "Jesus save us".

 

Suddenly the smoke* clears for a moment as a door opens and light shines in. Backlit by hundreds of grow lamps CK looks into the room. He doesn't say anything, just lets out a huge puff of smoke. Soon everyone are friends, happy friends, Conor is in a deep philosophical discussion with Esiah and the Dr. Something about ninjas vs pirates.

 

Later that night the barbarian is said to have been charged with indecent exposure. It was just supposed to be a flexing contest with Mr. Finn 1989, but may have gone a bit overboard. Ok, enough to result in charges in Amsterdam, so more than a bit.

 

After legal issues resulting from this night are sorted out barbaric violence will next be brought back (and hopefully contained in a cage) on Oct 11th.

 

 

*We are in the SFL office here, remember, things are always a bit hazy there.

SFL 11 | TANEYEV vs TRIGGER REVIEW
209 ARENA

Xavier: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to he 209 Arena in the Amsterdam!

Styles: This city is kick ass because they know how to party!

Xavier: Yes, ladies and gentlemen. We do sincerely apologize for the delay in presenting you with this review of what occurred on September 13^th, but we admittedly have been enjoying the many sights and sounds of this wonderful city, as well as the surrounding areas, so we’ve been a bit lethargic, if you will, with our journalism duties.

Styles: Hey! I’m sure every fighter and manager in this organization understands what it means to get caught up in having fun and enjoying the various sights of a city, especially the young ladies who are bored due to COVID restrictions. There’s nothing wrong with good, clean fun, even if that clean fun turns just a little dirty! We’re being safe so don’t worry!

Xavier: Before you say something further to exploit us or get us in trouble with HR around here, let’s get down to business!

 

WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION: TWISTY KNEEREAPER (10-7; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)
VERSUS
WILLIAM BONIN (5-11; CURRENT STREAK: 6 LOSSES)

Xavier: So this fight took an entire 36 seconds to be decided! In a nutshell, Kneereaper beat Bonin down like he talked bullshit about his mother!

Styles: Yeah, I mean, I feel for Bonin because dude is seriously slippin’ with 6 losses in a row, but he keeps coming back for more. Must be a UCONN Huskies spirit thing!

 

WINNER: TWISTY KNEEREAPER BY TKO – 36 SECONDS IN ROUND 1

LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION: KOLLAA RIVER (8-2; CURRENT STREAK: 6 WINS)
VERSUS
RYLAND “RAGNAROK” RASMUSSEN (6-9-1; CURRENT STREAK: 2 LOSSES)

Styles: Well, this fight lasted a bit longer than the first one, but not by a whole lot! 1:46 in the first round tells the story folks. Despite having known heavy hands, Rasmussen just couldn’t make the connection he needed to test River’s jaw and ultimately, he paid the price for it!

Xavier: Rasmussen was aggressive and did land an elbow that made River bleed, but that seemed to anger River! He broke the clinch then broke Rasmussen with a vicious uppercut!

 

WINNER: KOLLAA RIVER BY TKO – 1:46 IN ROUND 1

LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION: TACITUS KILGORE (7-2; CURRENT STREAK: 2 WINS)
VERSUS
“LIQUIDATOR” KOBA DVALISHVILI (2-2-1; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Xavier: The man with the pristine haircut was able to thwart the clinching aggression shown by Dvalishvili early in the fight then later score a timely takedown for the points. He surprised Dvalishvili in the second round by clinching with him but again, he landed a takedown for the points. Dvalishvili escaped but the points were already scored. In the third round, Dvalishvili tried to outwrestle Kilgore and that cost him.

Styles: Kilgore was just a step ahead in this entire fight. Kudos to Dvalishvili for putting up a good fight and showing solid aggression, but he couldn’t figure out the conundrum that Kilgore is and it cost him when the final horn sounded!

 

WINNER: TACITUS KILGORE BY UNANIMOUS DECISION

MIDDLEWEIGHT DIVISION: ELIZ GRACIE (9-1; CURRENT STREAK: 5 WINS)
VERSUS
HEIKKI VIITTA (4-5; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Styles: In what I consider to be an upset, Gracie was able to overcome his major lack of technical skills in this fight, as compared to Viitta’s, and was able to lock in the tapout against an opponent who, at least we thought, was on the same level with his brown belt! I guess not!

Xavier: It was quite shocking that Viitta wasn’t able to utilize his outstanding standup skills and excellent wrestling to make this a very uncomfortable fight for Gracie! His overall lack of aggression cost him this match. Taking nothing away from Gracie and his skills and determination, but Viitta definitely should’ve had a better showing in the standup!

 

WINNER: ELIZ GRACIE BY KIMURA – 2:l3 IN ROUND 2

LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION: KRSTO VUJIC (8-4; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)
VERSUS
RICHARD BRENNER (5-6; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Xavier: Aggression and determination were the name of the game in this fight as both men held nothing back! Brenner made Vujic bleed and that definitely made Vujic pissed off!

Styles: Hell yeah it did! Once he saw his own blood, he locked Brenner into a clinch and went off on the defensive side before tagging Brenner with a brutal body shot! Vujic broke the clinch after that, decked Brenner with a vicious right hand, nailed another right that dropped Brenner, and Vujic yelled like a madman while landing strikes until the ref jumped in! Nasty!

WINNER: KRSTO VUJIC BY TKO – 4:56 IN ROUND 1

 

Styles: All right folks, now we’re into the Top 5 fights of that night!

LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION: MARCHRIUS “MACO” ROSSI (9-3; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)
VERSUS
KRON “ICE CREAM KRON” GRACIE (13-10; CURRENT STREAK: 7 LOSSES)

Styles: LEGION OF DOOM had Rossi ready for this fight and he looked sharp! He smelled blood in the water because he knew very well how badly Gracie was struggling with a 6-fight losing streak headed into this fight. As expected, Gracie did his best to ground this fight and keep it there but after avoiding a submission attempt, Rossi stood up and handled business as everyone expected him to!

Xavier: That’s true, Styles. No surprises there once Rossi was vertical again. He was methodical in his control on the ground and that frustrated Gracie. That frustration led to Gracie having sloppy technique and he ate a right hook when he dropped his hands! Gracie wanted to try for another series of takedowns but was stopped each time and he ate a left hand for his troubles on one failed attempt. He then ate another shot and Rossi could tell he had him in trouble. Rossi unleashed a head kick that rocked Gracie’s world despite him trying to be touch and smile through it while asking him for more! Well, he got more and it was too much for him to handle!

 

 

WINNER: MARCHRIUS ROSSIE BY TKO – 3:45 IN ROUND 1

LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION: AXEL FOLEY (11-3-1; CURRENT STREAK: 6 WINS)
VERSUS
TIM “MEXICAN” SANCHEZ (6-4; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Xavier: The man who loves the movie “Beverly Hills Cop” so much that his name is after the main character, a great movie, by the way, and I don’t say that only because I’m from Detroit. The 5-fight win streak Foley established heading into this fight absolutely gave him a momentum advantage and basically, if Foley could keep this fight vertical more than horizontal, he’d win. If not, Sanchez would win, or at least that’s what we thought. The opening round was surprising because Sanchez opted to trade strikes with Foley and it definitely cost him the opening round!

Styles: That was definitely unexpected, Xavier! I’m not sure why he went with that strategy but it obviously didn’t pay dividends for him! To his credit, Sanchez adapted very well in the second round and looked much sharper. However, Foley landed more timely strikes along with a very nice left to the body followed up with a right spinning back fist! Foley also adjusted very well and was able to tag Sanchez with very clean and effective counterstrikes and those won the vital scorecard points. The clean and effective countering was most prominent in the third round when he knocked Sanchez loopy shortly after the 2-minute mark! Sanchez obviously avoided more danger but not without absorbing more damage, especially to the head, though he collected his senses shortly afterwards. Still, it was too much to overcome and the judges gave the nod to Foley!

 

WINNER: AXEL FOLEY BY UNANIMOUS DECISION

HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION: LUIS “THE DEXTER CREOLE” MAESTRE (14-7; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)
VERSUS
CLAUDIO “AGUA NO CUME” ESCORRE (12-5; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Styles: The bottom line with Maestre is he either knocks you out in the first round or he gets knocked out in the first round! He has one gear that that’s full steam straight ahead! The fans love him for it but I’m not so sure his jaw is a massive fan of that approach. Nonetheless, it is what it is and everyone who gets in the cage with him knows what to expect. Escorre did his best to weather the violent maelstrom that is Maestre but, alas, he did not! When you face an opponent who literally has two fights that went beyond the first round, it’s pretty easy to know what to expect.

Xavier: The bulldozer approach has worked more often than not, obviously, for Maestre and since he’s willing to put his body on the line like that, especially his head and chin area, then he knows what he signs up for each time he takes that approach. Brave? Perhaps. Crazy? Probably. Fun to watch? Absolutely! I think Escorre was caught off guard by the nonchalant left that Maestre threw yet caused a cut. That may have caused Escorre to think twice about the power that Maestre possesses and that, in turn, caused Escorre to be more cautious and that was the beginning of the end! A massive right hand sent Escorre to the mat. Escorre stood back up but was pretty much a standing target. Maestre was relentless and unleashed one brutally head-twisted left hook that turned out Escorre’s lights before he even hit the mat!

 

 

WINNER: LUIS MAESTRE BY KO – 1:45 IN ROUND 1

LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION: ANTHONY CIRELLI (13-4; CURRENT STREAK: 2 WINS)
VERSUS
ISRAEL HANDS (8-4; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Xavier: The masked man known as Cirelli was feeling good in this fight because he had just knocked out Reginal Budgiehandler in a mere 45 seconds! Needless to say, his confidence was riding high and the timing of this fight was perfect for him, especially since Hands was on a solid roll with a 3-fight win streak. Cirelli knew Hands was going to push him the entire fight in terms of pressure and that’s exactly what transpired. Hands transitioned from a clinch early in the first round straight to taking this fight to the ground by pulling guard. He then tried to make Cirelli tap time and again but to Cirelli’s credit, he fought back well and his defensive grappling abilities were on display. Once Cirelli forced the standup, he was more effective than Hands, particularly with leg kicks, although Hands did his own share of damage with well-time counterattacks! In the second round, it looked like Hands was going to potentially put this one away because after they traded beautiful striking and defensive techniques, Hands caught Cirelli with a head kick that he absolutely did not see coming!

Styles: That was definitely a blindsider, Xavier! Cirelli damn near checked out right then and there but he managed to fight through it, so kudos to him for showing that strong warrior spirit. Cirelli’s aggression from start to finish was the key to this fight and it absolutely, undeniably kept Hands from finishing him off! Both men finished the round with a lot of energy, pressure and desire but Cirelli landed enough strikes to swing the score in his favor despite being rocked. Hands felt his best approach was to try and go back to making Cirelli tap because he knew he was fighting an uphill battle at this point and needed to try and finish the fight the way he felt was most efficient. Once again, Cirelli showed his defensive abilities by avoiding being locked into the two submission attempts plus forcing the standup once he was able to position himself to control Hands’ movements on the ground. Once the fight was on its feet again, Cirelli was the more accurate striker and that’s what was needed to wrap this bad boy up and take it home!

 

WINNER: ANTHONY CIRELLI BY UNANIMOUS DECISION

LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE: JACKSON “BANG BANG” TRIGGER (16-4; CURRENT STREAK: 2 WINS)
VERSUS
VALENTIN “THE HAND GRENADE” TANEYEV (12-4; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Styles: This fight was highly anticipated because both of these warriors have been tearin’ it up lately! Trigger had one hell of a fight against John Makres before this one and I think that prepared him very well because he looked confident, sharp and hungry! Those are key facets to have each and every time a champion has to put their title on the line and he was locked and loaded! He definitely pulled the trigger on his aggression and power because, simply put, once the opportunity to overwhelm Taneyev was there, he was all over it! Taneyev definitely made Trigger work for this win because that opening bell head kick put a dent in Trigger’s skull!

Xavier: Trigger was definitely caught off guard by that and his corner was jumping up and down in an effort to inspire him to get back up and get it together! Trigger shook it off but saw blood start to drip down his face. That seemed to lock him in even more and he made this fight a clinch battle, which Taneyev definitely didn’t want to have happen! Jackson repaid the cut by landing a slicing knee to Taneyev’s head. Once Taneyev tasted his own blood, he locked in even more and the look of determination was etched on his face! Taneyev blasted Trigger was a right hand that looked to have shaken Trigger’s very foundation! Taneyev once again stood back and motioned for Trigger to get back to his feet. Trigger began to bleed more steadily and that seemed to set him off because he was on the verge of being finished! After catching Taneyev with a clean jab, Trigger was back in fighting mode and a very sweet left hand dropped Taneyev where he stood! Trigger knew what to do and the referee had to call it! One hell of an exciting fight!

 

WINNER: JACKSON TRIGGER BY TKO – 3:20 IN ROUND 1

Xavier: All right, ladies and gentlemen. That’s the conclusion of our review and we thank you very much for taking the time to join us tonight as we look forward to more very exciting and brutal fights that the SFL has planned for all of us!

Styles: As always, we thank Conquer for being outstanding merchandise partners! Check them out and get a hold of their latest and greatest apparel! We thank you very kind, ladies and gents, for joining us tonight while we do our thing in the booth. We appreciate you and we look forward to seeing what happens at the next SFL events. On behalf of Esiah Xavier, I’m Furious Styles signing off. We’ll see you cage side!

SFL 12 | SITSONGRIT vs FORTAY REVIEW
209 ARENA

Xavier: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the 209 Arena in Amsterdam!

Styles: Each time we visit this city, I grow to like it more each time! Not only is it attractive but it’s a lot of fun as well!

Xavier: That’s very true, Styles! There are numerous activities that anyone can engage in pretty much any point in time.

Styles: Absolutely! I don’t sleep much and this city is very accommodating with my sleep schedule!

Xavier: I don’t want to know! Anyway, per SFL management, we’ve been asked to highlight the Top 5 fights from this event so that’s exactly what we’ll do. After all, they own our contracts and we’re here to report the information they want us to focus upon.

Styles: They pay the bills for our skills, so we’ll handle business as always! I know you typically kick off the action, X, but tonight it’s my turn!

 

HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION: SEBASTIAN RUTTEN (9-4; CURRENT STREAK: 2 WINS)
VERSUS
KING “THE CHAMPION” KONG (12-5; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Styles: Typically when the large and in charge warriors hit the cage, we expect nothing short of a knockout unless one of them decides to be more focused on grappling. That was not the case in this fight! A standup war is what people wanted to see and that’s exactly what they got! The question was whether or not Rutten would take the chance of getting in a clinch war with Kong because Kong’s nasty knees are known throughout the industry. That question was answered about 30 seconds in when Kong locked in a clinch and cut Rutten with, surprise, surprise, a knee to the head! Oddly enough, Kong broke the clinch. True, his corner called for him to do that but it was still surprising considering he did enough early damage to cause at least a little concern for Rutten and his team. Kong tried to do more damage in another clinch but Rutten had enough of that. Round 2 was a toe-to-toe war and that may have been the downfall of Kong in this fight!

Xavier: That’s right, Styles! Kong seemed to find a home for his head kicks because he tagged Rutten with a decent number of them. The most substantial one he landed opened up Rutten’s cut even more and that seemed to make Rutten dig deeper and find the energy and determination to bring this fight to an end! Rutten began to land clean counterattack shots and that swung the momentum in his direction slowly but surely. Rutten tagged Kong with a clean strike that didn’t seem to faze Kong until, suddenly, his legs became rubber and he was rocked! To his credit, Kong survived the onslaught from Rutten but he did take additional damage and that collective damage was the beginning of the end. Rutten found the range with a pawing jab, then loaded up on another job to setup the hook that knocked Kong to the mat! Rutten pounced on him and the referee had no choice but to call it! Nasty finish and well-earned victory.

WINNER: SEBASTIAN RUTTEN VIA TKO – 4:59 OF ROUND 2

BANTAMWEIGHT DIVISION: “THE TINY TORMENTOR” JUAN KEMONITO (14-6; CURRENT STREAK: 2 WINS)
VERSUS
URIAH CHIN (14-10; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Xavier: With a 15-centimeter difference between these two, or nearly six inches, the assumption was Kemonito would have to get inside of Chin’s defenses to unleash any substantial damage while Chin could rely on his standup skills to keep Kemonito at bay and tag him with kicks each and every time he got within kicking range. If this fight went to the ground then the assumption is Kemonito would have the advantage due to his more compact frame. Chin is known for having brutal knee strikes so it would make sense to take chance in the clinch but, of course, he risked getting taken down to the mat. That’s exactly what happened and it became a struggle for either man to land ground-and-pound when they had the dominant positioning! Chin got frustrated and decided to stand up after that.

Styles: That’s when he made an error that cost him, unfortunately for him! Chin suddenly decided he’s better off in the clinch but Kemonito wasn’t having any of it. Kemonito went to the well too often with the takedown attempts and Chin was hip to that game, but Kemonito adapted and figured out how to use that against him. Two sharp counterstrikes and suddenly, Chin’s legs were rubber! He tried to land a kick while being off balance and that cost him dearly! Kemonito hoisted the taller man onto his shoulder and damn near drive him through the mat with a vicious slam! As soon as Chin hit the mat, he was out cold and went as limp as a cold prick! I have no doubt that was embarrassing an infuriating to wake up on the mat and see the replay of you getting planted! Damn nice win for Kemonito!

 

WINNER: JUAN KEMONITO VIA SLAM – 3:58 OF ROUND 1

FEATHERWEIGHT DIVISION: LYNTON “THE OZ THRILLER” MILLER (10-4-1; CURRENT STREAK: 2 WINS)
VERSUS
SKILLZ KNEELAND (12-7; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Styles: Miller was the aggressor in Round 1 as he went for the clinch early and was able to secure it the second time he attempted it. He went for takedowns while avoiding getting cracked by elbows from Kneeland and he eventually got the takedown after showing good defensive skills! This fight continued to be a struggle on the ground as both warriors tried to gain the positional advantage. There was some ground-and-pound from Miller until Kneeland reversed the situation. Kneeland was content to control the positioning until the round ended, much to the displeasure of the capacity crowd. Miller went right back to the clinch as soon as the bell sounded and he paid for it in blood from a nasty elbow from Kneeland! Both men traded some strikes until Miller was able to land another takedown, scoring vital points on the scorecards while doing so. Miller wasn’t able to land any strong ground-and-pound and the referee had seen enough. He stood them up and Miller seemed to find his range better after that, consequently. He picked up the pace, hit Kneeland plenty of times in the face and onto the third round they went.

Xavier: Round 3 was more of the same with Miller scoring the takedown and looking to score points and damage via ground-and-pound. He was able to land enough strikes to make them count and he pushed ahead on the scorecards. He even managed to land a jaw-crunching elbow that definitely made Kneeland’s eyes water for a moment and daze him! Miller then managed to land a knee to the body then another elbow to the head, a sneaky but effective combination that got the job done. Kneeland seemed to lose some energy after that combination because Miller was able to land more strikes after Kneeland showed good defense for a couple of bursts Miller had. The referee got frustrated and stood both men up and the crowd let both men know they didn’t appreciate the methodical pace this fight grinded down to! Miller won this fight easily on the scorecards but I know he can’t be happy with the way the fight progressed at all.

 

WINNER: LYNTON MILLER VIA UNANIMOUS DECISION

FEATHERWEIGHT DIVISION: “THE ORIGINAL RUDE BOY” AZACCA TROUNVOUCHE (10-3; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)
VERSUS
“THE SANDMAN” REGINAL BUDGIEHANDLER (14-6; CURRENT STREAK: 3 LOSSES)

Xavier: Trounvouche knew Budgiehandler had been struggling plus he paid the price for losing his last two fights because both of them ended in the first round! Budgiehandler is all aggression and power and that’s beautiful when it works! It worked very well for him because he’s a multi-time champion but on this night, it cost him. As expected, the energy and aggression from both men was on full display as they traded strikes, dodged others, and dared one another to keep it going. The crowd fully enjoyed the pace of this battle and were very much into it from the very beginning, undoubtedly a reprieve from the slowed pace of the previous battle. Both men were able to land some strikes but the big shots, at least early, weren’t landing and slight frustration could be seen on both of their faces as they saw their strikes barely miss their targets.

Styles: The action was great with back-and-forth strikes, defense and footwork. Both of these warriors are very highly skilled and it was a treat to see the mental chess game unfold as well! Budgiehandler began to land some clean shots from counterattacking and Trounvouche took note of that. He became more precise with his strikes and even attempted to land his own counterstrikes to throw Budgiehandler off. One clean jab from Trounvouche cut Budgiehandler and once Trounvouche saw blood, he went for the finish! He ate a counter jab for his troubles but his determination to land a big right hand pushed him forward. Once he blasted Budgiehandler with that right hand, he went ballistic until the referee stopped the fight! That was a punishing finish!

 

WINNER: AZACCA TROUNVOUCHE VIA TKO – 4:43 OF ROUND 1

FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE: SAKMONGKOL SITSONGRIT (11-0-1; CURRENT STREAK: 3 WINS)
VERSUS
TREE “AGENTDOUBLEONINE” FORTAY (14-4; CURRENT STREAK: NONE)

Styles: The undefeated champion stepped into this battle knowing full well Fortay was coming off of a very impressive victory over fellow YABAI alliance member Trounvouche by unanimous decision. Many people expected Sitsongrit to exploit his world class Muay Thai skills in this fight and he tried to do exactly that when he was able to lock Fortay into a clinch! Both of these men held nothing back and I have no doubt both of them needed ice baths after this to help ease the bruising and soreness from one hell of a fight. Sitsongrit was more effective in the clinch until Fortay was able to pull guard and he immediately went for four different submission attempts! Sitsongrit was calm and cool and he prevented being tapped out. He managed to free himself long enough to standup and the round finished in the standup. Round 2 was a beautiful mix of skills, talent, desire and intelligence! Excellent striking techniques, defensive skills, determination, speed and pressure. We saw it all and it was a very close round! In Round 3, Sitsongrit went back to the clinch but Fortay wasn’t cooperating this time and he broke out of the clinch after taking little damage. Sitsongrit managed to put an ugly welt on Fortay’s leg from the number of leg kicks and the judges definitely took note of that! More great exchanges occurred and we went to the fourth.

Xavier: The fourth round had no slowdown and Fortay began to show more signs of life and aggression until Sitsongrit was able to lock him into a clinch again! This time, he kept him there long enough to control more of the action and score points off of a variety of strikes. Fortay tried to pull guard but failed pretty badly and looked both embarrassed and frustrated by that. However, he wasn’t deterred and he kept right on fighting with a high level of intensity! However, Sitsongrit’s defensive ability prevented Fortay from doing any damage so he threw caution to the wind and locked Sitsongrit into a clinch. He scored the takedown shortly after that and once again went for submissions but wasn’t able to lock them in! Sitsongrit slowed the pace way down and the referee stood them up. Fortay locked Sitsongrit into another clinch but did nothing with the short amount of time left in the round. Round 5 was another outstanding round of two high-level combatants going at it tooth and nail, but in my opinion, the difference maker in that round was the control Sitsongrit was able to establish with the two clinches he locked Fortay in, especially the first time. Fortay broke from the second one quickly but he still got locked in one. Near the end of the fight, Sitsongrit found another gear and landed some very timely strikes before the final bell rung. After one hellacious battle, the undefeated champion emerged victorious!
