Charlie Wax

 

After tonight fight Charlie Wax had this to say;

 

'I made a few errors with the gameplan tonight, normally I might have got away with it but Loke Westlund has a great manager and he made me pay for those mistakes. The fight was actually pretty close so my manager isn't too mad with me. I still have a lot to learn so I'll move on from the loss and hopefully come back even stronger in the next few fights. I'm really enjoying my time here fighting at UGD and the talent is getting better and better all the time.

 

Congrats man, good fight.'

i'm a little suprised that Jerry Haze is higher than my 2 guys (that have both beaten him in his last 2 fights), how does that work?

 

These are based entirely off of the game's rankings, which focus on hype. Haze built up a ton of hype, going 14-2 before coming in at a bunch of orgs which had hyped guys before joining us. One of your 2 guys has lost 2 in a row since, and I guess the other guy just hasnt got a chance of beating more hyped guys in his short(ish) career.

 

Your 2 guys are definitely on the up though and have had a lot of success at UGD. Hopefully we can keep them here and build that hype for you. The Haze victories definitely helped

Would Zang Zhai not be higher than Haze then if it was based on the games rankings? Zhai is currently 697 P4P with a hype rating of 188 while Haze is 1186 P4P with a hype rating of 147.

 

The list you had was

 

#1 Shi Fu Tu - (6-1-1) - 687 P4P w/ 189 Hype

#2 Silvio Crespo - (13-2-0) - 764 P4P w/ 181 Hype

#3 Jerry Haze - (14-4-0) - 1186 P4P w/ 147 Hype

#4 Zang Zhai - (7-2-0) - 697 P4P w/ 188 Hype

#5 Raoul Clavette - (9-4-0) - 2941 P4P w/ 79 Hype

If it was purely P4P rated would it not be

#1 Shi Fu Tu - (6-1-1) - 687 P4P w/ 189 Hype

#2 Zang Zhai - (7-2-0) - 697 P4P w/ 188 Hype

#3 Silvio Crespo - (13-2-0) - 764 P4P w/ 181 Hype

#4 Wei Fei Chung - (8-3-0) - 1160 P4P w/ 149 Hype

#5 Jerry Haze - (14-4-0) - 1186 P4P w/ 147 Hype

 

Not criticising, just curious also as I would love to see my guy in the 205 division make it onto the top 5 list one day but the list you posted has to have some other factor other than purely Hype/P4P ranking involved. Would that be something like recent form, title prospects or recent calibre of opponents involved?

Well its pretty clear that i could be doing a better job with the rankings so thanks for the feedback, Ramirez is 100% correct when he said it was more like hype rankings and then i basically slotted the next challenger at #1....obviously wrong so lets change it

 

Its still trial and error so could you all please state exactly how you would like to see them done, if we can all agree on something then i would be more than happy to go with it in future.

 

I dont take any of it as criticism guys it just shows me where i can improve things, thanks again

Loke "The Laughing Agony" Westlund


I got back to the gym today after some time of to recover from my fight against Charlie Wax. I would like to thank Wax for giving me a hell of a fight. Three though tight rounds were exactly what I needed after my first career loss against Ysengrin. After the my Ioss i started to question myself but my mojo have now returned. I know now that I can compete against the best.

"The creature" Leif Olofson


I'm so embarrassed by my performance tonight it was a shameful display, don't know what I was doing out there. Congrats to the new champ Philip Gallagher though, all cred to you. One thing is for sure and that is that I will never underestimate you like that again. One day I will get the chance to redeem myself and then I will kick that ugly head of yours out of this earth.

UGD 37: Christmas Eve (Escobarre v Mason)



Shopping queues got you agitated? Forced family time with distant relatives getting stale? Traffic? Snow??? (Geographic location depending)



Nothing warms the heart like seeing two grown men fight for a paycheque. So, ditch the routine and bring your rum ‘n eggnog down the Camden Centre on Saturday night, it’s time for a new tradition.



**MW Title Fight**


Pablo "Candyman" Escobarre (16-4, 9-0 UGD) v Dean Mason (10-1-1, UGD Debut)


The main event of the evening pits one of UGD’s most successful fighters of 2016, Pablo Escobarre, against a rising star making his UGD debut, Dean Mason. The champion out of Sweden comes into the match with a shiny new undefeated record under the UGD banner thanks to Roland De Roncevaux’s failed post-fight drug test. Escobarre is also coming off of his first Submission of the Night bonus for the organization and looks to send off a prosperous 2016 with yet another finish. New York’s Dean Mason comes off of an 8-fight run in his hometown org GKNY, going 6-1-1. Mason made a name for himself with technical kickboxing and a granite chin and will look to impose his game on the champion.



***LHW Title Fight***


Ed “Baby” Ruth (13-2, 5-0 UGD) v The Aristoteles (11-2, UGD Debut)


Pittsburgh’s Ed Ruth will look to continue his own undefeated run at UGD when he makes the second defence of the Light Heavyweight title in our co-main event. “Baby” Ruth continues to show off heavy hands during his current 6-fight win streak after starting off his career as a talented yet one-dimensional wrestler. His opponent, The Aristoteles, might force the American to go back to his roots, however. The Greek striker comes into the promotion having not been defeated in 2 years and carries power in his hands and feet. Combine that with a granite chin and you have a man who can cause a lot of problems for anyone willing to strike with him.



Silvio Crespo (13-2, 0-1 UGD) v Shi Fu Tu (6-1-1, 2-0 UGD)


A featured featherweight contest will see Silvio Crespo and Shi Fu Tu battle for division supremacy. Crespo jumped into the fire in his promotional debut at UGD 33 after being a champion in three different orgs in his short career. Despite showing off his well-rounded and aggressive style, the Argentinean came up short to current champion, Selfie Lord. Shi Fu Tu, on the other hand, came into UGD a relative unknown but quickly took out two top contenders in impressive workmanlike decisions with pinpoint kickboxing. The victor here most likely sees a title shot in the near future.



Troy “Super” Hooper (14-7, 5-2 UGD) v Stres Fleshou (10-4, 3-3 UGD)


A pair of talented welterweights look to regain some consistency and get back to title contention in our next bout, as Troy Hooper takes on Stres Fleshou. Both fighters sit at 2-2 in their last 4 bouts, but it should be noted that half those fights were title fights. The American, Hooper, comes in off the heels of a nip and tuck decision loss at UGD 31 and will be likely looking to push Fleshou around and make this a dirty fight. The Finnish striker, however, is no easy out. Fleshou has been UGD’s equivalent of Uriah Faber (ie. undefeated in non-title fights and winless in title fights). Expect a fun back and forth affair in this one.



**FW Title Fight**


Selfie "The Dragon" Lord (10-7, 3-0 UGD) v Raoul Clavette (9-4, 1-1 UGD)


We have our first holiday inspired gift of the evening, as we’re proud to give you a rare title fight to open up our main card. Indonesia’s Selfie Lord is on some run since joining UGD. The striker came into UGD with a modest 7-7 record and little fanfare, but a 3-0 run sees the young star defending his Featherweight title for a second time, as he takes on Raoul Clavette. His American opponent is another recent transfer from the GKNY organization, having won and defended their Featherweight title multiple times. Despite his willingness to strike, I expect Clavette to try and turn this into a grappling match.

UGD 38: New Years Eve (Shevchenko v Rougeau)



It wouldn’t be a New Year’s Eve show without some fireworks, right? With that in mind, UGD will be giving the fans the gift of heavyweights to finish off a fantastic 2016 for the organization. The Camden Centre will be giving everyone free champagne in what will surely be the worst promotional decision they’ve ever made.



**SHW Title Fight**


Taras "Kobzar" Shevchenko (19-2, 19-2 UGD) v Jacques "The Full Mountie" Rougeau (9-5, 1-0 UGD)


The main event of the evening will pit UGD’s all-time leader in victories and knockouts, Taras Shevchenko, against Canada’s Jacques Rougeau. Shevchenko also looks to finally pass Lump Beefrock with his 10th Super Heavyweight title victory and tie UGD’s all-time record with his 8th straight title defence. With devastating ground and pound and sneaky submissions, it’s no secret what the Ukrainian champion’s strategy will be. The real question is whether the young Canadian can stop him. The man they call “The Full Mountie” is coming off of a destructive uppercut KO in his debut for the organization and will be looking for a similar result in this one. Rougeau is definitely the more well-rounded of the two, with a sharp kickboxing game to go along with his decent grappling attack, but he needs to be weary of the champion’s ability to bull rush himself into takedowns.



Bronko Buster (11-5, UGD Debut) v "Dangerous" Doc Dykstra (13-3, 7-1 UGD)


We move down ever so slightly to the Heavyweight division, as Bronko Buster makes his promotional debut against one of UGD’s most successful HW’s of 2016, Doc Dykstra. The Bulgarian newcomer comes in as the now-defunct Holmgang’s final Heavyweight champion and a former GKNY Super Heavyweight contender. With an old school sprawl-and-brawl style, Buster’s knockout power and world-class boxing can provide big issues for any fighter. His American opponent, Doc Dykstra, is coming off of his first official loss for the organization in a barnburner of a title fight against Roy Palmer. With knockout power in his feet and hands combined with a willingness to slug it out, “Dangerous” Doc Dykstra is almost always a finalist for a Fight Night bonus. This one should be fun.



**HW Title Fight**


“Honey” Roy Palmer (11-3, 2-0 UGD) v Tony O Rangers (11-4-1, UGD Debut)


We’re not done yet, as our Heavyweight champion “Honey” Roy Palmer looks to defend his strap against another highly touted newcomer to UGD, Tony O Rangers. Palmer will technically be making his second title defence after the Wolf fiasco was officially reversed, coming off a fun victory over Doc Dykstra. Palmer showed some incredible resilience after getting caught with a headkick, coming back immediately with a heavy cross and allowing Dykstra to get in close and clinch, only to unleash his own dirty boxing attack. The strategy allowed Palmer to wear out his opponent until he finally broke in the second round. His opponent, Tony O Rangers, is a dangerous submission wrestler coming off a Heavyweight title victory at Budo Rei FC in Tokyo. The Boston-bred fighter can also show his opponents some technical boxing in order to keep them on their toes. I think the standup will really decide how this fight goes, as Palmer seems to have really shored up his defensive grappling in recent years.



Yuuto "Shinkansen" Yoshida (15-8, 1-1 UGD) v "The Specialist" Karl Karlsson (9-4, 3-2 UGD)


We move down one more step to Light Heavyweight, as Yuuyo Yoshida looks to rebound from a title loss against the streaking Karl Karlsson. A classic but dangerous kickboxer out of Tokyo, Yoshida looks to get back on track under his new management after getting released after the loss. Yoshida looked good in his bid for the title, going toe-to-toe with the champion before getting caught by a pair of right hands. With a KOTN bonus in his only other fight for the organization, “Shinkansen” is quickly becoming a fan favourite in London. Karl Karlsson was in a similar position for UGD very recently, starting 1-2 for the promotion while getting dropped by his management. The Swede has rebounded nicely since, however, grabbing a pair of hard-fought decision victories to get himself back in the title hunt. “The Specialist” brings a similar kickboxing style as his opponent, albeit a bit more technical. I expect a nip-and-tuck standup fight with the winner being the man who wants it more.



Kevin “Funny Man” Hart (8-1, 2-0 UGD) v Scooter Trash (9-4, 5-1 UGD)


Opening our main card will be a featured lightweight bout between two elite American strikers, as Kevin Hart takes on Scooter Trash. “Funny Man” has been all business since joining UGD, getting two dominating victories in as many contests. Showing off his brutal, punch-heavy attack from the clinch and distance, Hart has quickly risen in the ranks of UGD’s tough-as-nails Lightweight division. Consistently a challenger in his career, Scooter Trash looks to take that next step in the promotion with another victory over a tough opponent. A classic Muay Thai specialist, Mr. Trash uses heavy kicks and punches at distance, along with dangerous knees and elbows in the clinch. His style is especially effective as the fight goes on, as he wears his opponent down with punishment no matter where the fight leads. I think this fight comes down to whoever comes out faster.

UGD 39: Gallagher v Westlund


(Review)



In news released earlier this week, Underground’s CEO, Mr. McKenna, announced that the promotion would be moving into new territory by eliminating their long-time 260k ID restriction. After a carefully planned breakthrough in 2016, this next step was a logical progression for an organization looking to be on top. In the first card of the year - and the first after this announcement - UGD wasted no time moving forward.



A promotional record 18,000 fans piled into Knight’s Court on Saturday night in an event that would go on to break the Event Rating, Fighter Pay and Ticket Revenue high marks for the organization. The entire card featured a number of fun back-and-forth scraps, but here’s how the main card broke down:



Main Event – Lightweight Title Fight


Philip "Lip" Gallagher v Loke "Laughing Agony" Westlund


http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/38/38w20.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/14495198473451.jpg



In our main event, 2-time lightweight champion Phillip Gallagher looked to make his first successful title defence when he took on an undefeated Swedish challenger in Loke Westlund. The skills and physical attributes appeared to be pretty much even in this one, so it’s no surprise how tightly contested the fight would play out - at least for a while. Gallagher came out aggressive with punches to open the contest, eventually trapping the challenger against the cage in a tight clinch. Westlund would hold is own, however, and the champion would eventually back off but win the competitive round by repeating this strategy for the remainder of it. Westlund appeared to be gaining confidence in the opening moments of the 2nd round and opened a small cut with some sharp jab work. “Lip” would quickly regain momentum though, as he seemed to have stumbled the challenger with a jab of his own before ultimately finishing the fight a few minutes later with a beautiful uppercut and follow-up punches. After a few stumbles early in his UGD career, “Lip” has really turned things around with an impressive 4-fight run in his second run as champion.


Philip Gallagher (14-8, 7-3 UGD) defeats Loke Westlund (12-1, 1-1 UGD) via TKO (Strikes) R2 – 03:11



Co-Main Event – Light Heavyweight Division


Billy West v Sixth “Whimperer” Fist


http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/8/8w3.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/14552395953820.gif



Our co-main event saw two of the Light Heavyweight’s top contenders square off in a surprisingly quiet lead-up between two managers who have been very vocal to one another. An exciting opening exchange to start the match was finished with an already-bleeding Billy West landing a tough takedown into Sixth Fist’s half guard. From there, the American would stay active enough to avoid the standup and persisted in top position for the remainder of the round. The second round would be quite the opposite, however, as Fist stopped the takedowns and delivered a punishing boxing attack. An overhand right in the early stages of the 2nd round was the prologue in a tale of right hands for “Whimperer”. In the final minute, Fist would land a winging right hand that levelled and bloodied West before a final overhand right concluded his opponent’s night. Fist has put UGD’s 205 division on notice and will be looking at a number one contender fight in the immediate future.


Sixth Fist (14-8, 7-3 UGD) defeats Billy West (12-4, 8-3 UGD) via TKO (Strikes) R2 – 04:39



Featured Lightweight Matchup


Leif Olofson v Karter Kinshaw


http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/14258411839602.jpg http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/32/32b14.jpg



A lightweight matchup with title implications would see recent champion Leif Olofson look to rebound from his first promotional loss against Boise Idaho’s Karter Kinshaw. Well, what can one really say about this fight other than “razor thin”? The Tale of the Tape, the scouting and the predictions all pointed in the direction of a fun, competitive fight, but these two made it a matter of inches. In a flowing, classical kickboxing motif, Olofson and Kinshaw showed style and persistence in a Fight of the Night performance. Kinshaw perhaps controlled the distance to a degree better, but it was Olofson who did the better work inside when the fight was moved there. In the end, the judges couldn’t agree on anything, with opposing Unanimous Decisions, zero unanimous rounds, and zero matching scorecards in a split verdict for Kinshaw. It’s a disappointing result for “The Creature”, but between you and me, he seems a bit too crazy to even care. For the Idahoan, it’s a possible ramp to a title shot and another top-level victory.

UGD 40: Escobarre v Munson




After a record-breaking event in Knights Court a week ago, Underground quickly jumps back to the Camden Centre for another round of fights this Saturday night. Two title-fights cap off a strong main card that features a mix of highly touted newcomers, former champions and future contenders.



30 second Advertisement: Brick Top’s Bet Shop is proud to sponsor the following weekly pick from our owner, Mr. Brick Top himself.


Brick Top: “Take B.J. Penn as the dog.”


Reporter: “Interesting. One could get odds way higher for B.J. at other bookies.”


Brick Top: “Listen, you fucking fringe, if I throw a dog a bone, I don't want to know if it tastes good or not. You stop me again whilst I'm walking, and I'll cut your fucking Jacobs off.”



Make sure to get all of your UGD and UFC bets in to make the bossman happy. No, really, we’re counting on you. He’s a ‘orrible cbomb, that one.



**MW Title Fight**


Pablo "Candyman" Escobarre (18-3, 10-0 UGD) v Robert Munson (7-2-1, 3-0-1 UGD)


What more can be said of the 2-year (Tycoon time) run Pablo Escobarre has had since arriving at UGD? Besides a DQ Decision victory against the much-maligned Roland De Roncevaux before his retirement, Escobarre has finished all nine of his opponents while defending his Middleweight title six times. The fabled Swedish champion puts his World Class boxing and dangerous guard to the test one more time against another surging contender in Robert Munson. After starting out his professional career with 2 losses, Munson switched management and is undefeated in his last 8 appearances. The kickboxer had a chance to show every inch of his will in his last two scraps – a pair of tightly contested standup wars against the talented King Harrison – and will look to continue that momentum and press the champion with a variety of kicks while trying to avoid any extended ground exchanges. Can Escobarre continue his reign of dominance over UGD’s Middleweight throne, or will a new king emerge?



**LW Title Fight**


Fook “Mi” Man (9-3, 4-0 UGD) v Troy “Super” Hooper (15-7, 6-2 UGD)


Our co-main event will see another champion looking to begin his own reign, as Fook Man defends his Lightweight title for the first time in a rematch against Troy Hooper. Our most androgynous champion controlled the standup exchanges in their first encounter, a 3-round number one contender bout at UGD 31. The Japanese striker will look to do the much of the same, but should have even more confidence in his kicks after dropping Hooper with a headkick in their first meeting. Hooper, on the other hand, needs to regain the magic he had in his first title run for the promotion. A flawless 4-fight run saw the Aussie star defend the lightweight title twice in dominating fashion. Since then, a few losses have dampened an otherwise successful promotional career. The well-rounded martial artist needs to find a way to mix in his takedowns and keep the champion on his heels; otherwise, this may look very similar to their first encounter.



Fifth "EmoTurtle" Fist (14-4, 3-1 UGD) v “Charming” Charles Richmond (20-11, 12-10 UGD)


A shell of his former self, local hero Charles Richmond brings his charm and willingness to fight anyone anywhere to the UGD cage once again, as he takes on the unassuming but dangerous, Fifth Fist. Once a renowned champion and Choke Hall of Famer, Richmond is definitely on the back-end of his career. Is he fighting for pride or a paycheque? We might never know, but 7 losses in his last 11 fights is a disturbing trend that has triggered some doubt into whether his career should continue. Regardless, his American opponent isn’t looking to be the steppingstone to some late-career resurgence. “EmoTurtle” compliments his top-shelf boxing with some incredibly heavy hands and is a threat to anyone in the Heavyweight division. Reportedly still only a Blue Belt in jiu-jitsu, Fifth Fist is a throwback to the roots of fighting and is emerging as a new fan favourite for the organization.



Knut "Starhammer" Paulsen (13-7, UGD Debut) v Marco Ferreira (18-6, UGD Debut)


Another featured Heavyweight bout sees two world-class veterans making their promotional debuts, as Knut Paulsen takes on Marco Ferreira in a rematch years in the making. The Brazilian striker, Ferreira, bested his Norwegian counterpart for the Havoc Heavyweight Title over 4 years (Tycoon Time) ago at Causing Havoc 44. His dominant reign at Havoc sparked a run of success that continued into the Legacy and CFC organizations before bringing him to our own surging promotion. Paulsen followed a similar career path of through Legacy and CFC and feels that destiny has given him to a chance to finally avenge a 66-second loss. Both fighters have improved immensely but retain the same styles they owned in their first encounter. Will fate crash again, or can Paulsen turn the tides and ride a wave of his own success?



Jerry "Hurricane" Haze (14-4, 0-2 UGD) v Wu Fei Chung (8-3, 7-2 UGD)


Two former stars looks to halt their first career losing streaks in another important rematch, as Jerry Haze takes on Wu Fei Chung. The former Featherweight champion from Hong Kong mixed in some timely takedowns in a tightly contested decision victory in their first encounter. The victory sprung Chung into another title shot, but two straight losses have humbled an otherwise confident and talented fighter. Jerry Haze, the gifted kickboxer out of Cambridge, came into UGD with a ton of hype and promise but has yet to fulfill those lofty expectations. A pair of close decision losses to talented training partners has set up a third in a must-win situation for the former Highland Games champion. This fight was purposely placed to kick off our main card, as fans and pundits alike expect another impeccable display of mixed martial arts between the two.

UGD 41: Shevchenko v Brazier



It was a night filled with rematches UGD 40, but we’re back with a clean slate of fresh matchups for UGD 41. Three title fights headline a compelling main card that features strongly Underground’s Heavyweight and Featherweight divisions.



**SHW Title Fight**


http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/19/19w17.jpghttp://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/14151601431924.jpg


Taras "Kobzar" Shevchenko (20-2, 20-2 UGD) v Conor "Gladiator" Brazier (13-3, 3-1 UGD)


A 12-fight win-streak anchors our Super Heavyweight Champion’s endless stream of promotional and career achievements. That man, Taras Shevchenko, will look to defend his title for the ninth straight time in his second run as champion when he takes on Conor Brazier in our main event. The Ukrainian champion’s dominating top game is a bit one dimensional, but razor sharp in it’s effectiveness. The English challenger’s gameplan will be to avoid the takedowns and put his excellent boxing skills to the forefront. With three straight promotional wins, Brazier looks confident and ready to stop the champion’s historic run. Shevchenko has an ice-cold resolve and a wealth of experience to draw from, however, so Brazier will need to be patient and intelligent every second of the fight.




**HW Title Fight**


http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/13932525849529.jpghttp://mmatycoon.com/gallery/30/30w5.jpg


"Honey" Roy Palmer (12-3, 3-0 UGD) v Bronko Buster (12-5, 1-0 UGD)


We move down ever so slightly to Heavyweight division, as our American champion Roy Palmer defends his title against Bulgaria’s Bronko Buster in the co-main event. At 6’7”, Palmer isn’t used to being the shorter man when he steps into the cage but he’ll have a 6’9” challenger waiting for him when he does on Saturday night. Despite both men being towering strikers, their approaches are much different. Palmer uses an incredibly agile kickboxing style for a man of his stature, but uses his size to wear out his opponents in the clinch and in the grappling exchanges. Buster, on the other hand, uses his unbelievably long frame to the fullest with long punches and generates surprising power in the process. I expect fireworks and a quick night for one of these gentlemen.




http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/43/43a2.jpghttp://mmatycoon.com/gallery/14/14w4.jpg


“Dangerous” Doc Dykstra (13-4, 7-2 UGD) v Tony O Rangers (11-5-1, 0-1 UGD)


In a featured Heavyweight bout, Doc Dykstra looks to halt his first career losing streak as he takes on a fellow American looking for his first promotional win in Tony O Rangers. Dykstra came into the promotion and delivered an almost flawless run of knockouts and Fight Night bonuses and showed of devastating power in both his hands and feet. Since then, a pair of losses to the division’s elite has put the striker in a must-win situation if he wants to keep his contender label. Tony O Rangers is also looking to rebound from a competitive loss to Roy Palmer after coming in as the Budo Rei FC Heavyweight Champion. The wrestle-boxer has sharp technical punches, which compliment his dangerous submissions on the ground. Rangers would be best to avoid any wild firefights on the feet, as that’s Dykstra’s bread and butter. The longer this fight goes, however, the more I like his chances in this one.

Silvio Crespo (13-3, 0-2 UGD) v Zang Zhai (7-2, 7-1 UGD)


Another superstar tries to halt his first career losing streak, as Silvio Crespo looks for his first promotional win when he takes on divisional stalwart, Zang Zhai. A former Generation, Slaughterhouse and ECFC champion, Crespo came into the organization with a ton of hype. A pair of competitive, yet clear, decision losses has since halted his momentum and brings the Argentinian into a must-win situation. His opponent, Zang Zhai, has been doing work in a tough division and will be looking to finally make the move into the role of title contender with a win here. Zhai will look to keep the fight at a distance with his kicks, while Crespo will look to get in close and make things physical. Expect a grinding, back-and-forth battle in this one.

Selfie “The Dragon” Lord (11-7, 4-0 UGD) v Shi Fu Tu (7-1-1, 3-0 UGD)


Opening our main card is a highly competitive title fight between two promotionally undefeated Featherweights. The champion, Selfie Lord, has found a home at UGD and has settled in nicely as champion to a previously chaotic division. The Indonesian striker went through the meat grinder at Havoc early in his career and seems to have learned many lessons in his seven losses there. “The Dragon” brings composure in frenzied striking exchanges and has developed his athleticism and defensive grappling nicely over the years. His opponent, Shi Fu Tu, has impressed greatly in his three promotional appearances with a similarly paced kickboxing game. With such a close matchup and style, I expect the winner here to emerge as a result of conditioning and measured aggression.

Miguel Cotto 205lbs (13-4-0)

Congrats to my opponent and the new Light Heavyweight Champ of Underground, Pena Pulkkinen. I came in with the wrong tactics for facing a 7 foot 3 fighter and paid the ultimate price for it. Look after that belt and enjoy your 5 minutes of fame, I hope to be battling with you again in a few fights time to see if I can put on a better show and take the belt home. Good fight man.

Just noticed that the 205lbs Underground champion is called Miguel Cotto and only has punches.


I can't wait to make my way to the top and hope that he still is there, so that I can make easy work of him and get myself another nice shiny belt!


If a filipino midget can do this to him:
