Rei Posted July 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 A big thank-you is in order to Gut Punch for this wonderful event preview. Hope you enjoy! Budokai kicks off the historic Twin Crown tournament, which features fighters from all across the world in a dual division event in which fighters compete for the chance to get a title shot against Bantamweight champion Seamus Macnamara and Middleweight champion Caesar El Toro Jr. The Saku Dome will host the event as 16 hopeful Bantamweights and Middleweights put it all on the line. The card will also feature a heavyweight bout, and a Superheavyweight championship bout. First, a look into the Bantamweight fights: #1 Disco Kid (11-5) vs “La Killer Unicorn” Santiago Junior (6-3-1) The breakdown- Hometown: New York City, US ------- Rio De Janeiro, Brazil Fighting out of: London ----- London Height: 164 cm ----- 177 cm Age: 23 ----- 23 Specialty: Wrestling ----- Boxing Disco Kid is no stranger to Seamus Macnmara. He previously lost his Championship belt in MMAHelsinki to Macnamara, and lost his last fight to Macnamara as well. It could be said that Kid wants this rematch more than anyone else in the field, as he has a shot at redemption. Winning the title from Macnamara would be much needed vindication for Kid, and most likely the highlight of his career. Santiago Junior, on the other hand, has been on a terror recently, having three wins in his last four fights with one draw. Junior has reinvented his career after losing three in a row in Budokai, and nearly being shown the door. However, he has proven that he is as hungry for the title shot as anyone else, having won “fight of the night” in his last three fights. #2 Yeu Fei (10-4) vs “The Prospector” My Time (6-0) The breakdown- Hometown: Anyang, China ----- Atlin, BC, Canada Fighting out of: New York ----- London Height: 184 cm ----- 176 cm Age: 30 ----- 22 Specialty: Muay Thai ----- Muay Thai Yeu Fei is a former Budokai Featherweight champion. After losing his belt, he dropped further to bantamweight and moved to MMAHelsinki, where he lost a title shot to Disco Kid. If both Kid and Fei win, we’ll see a rematch next round. The highlight of his career has come in his first title defense, in which he knocked out Alex Stern in the first round. My Time is an undefeated prospect, and one of the brightest young fighters in Budokai. Time is 6-0, having fought 4 times in Jag Battle League before entering this tournament. He has Ko’d every opponent except Future Winger, in which he fought to a decision victory. Time looks to use his heavy hands to continue his undefeated streak, all the way to a challenge shot. #3 Uramoto Sussue (3-0) vs Hratch Tzien (1-1) The breakdown- Hometown: Rocinha, Brazil ----- Kadwan, Burma Fighting out of: Montreal ----- Las Vegas Height: 163 cm ----- 170 cm Age: 21 ------ 21 Specialty: Wrestling ----- Muay Thai Uramato Sussue has never had a fight in a major org, and his first fight will be against a fellow newcomer to the org. He has shown an ability to win fights both standing up and on the ground. Sussue has been known to be extremely confident in his abilities, and has generally been the aggressor in most of his fights. Hratch Tzien, otherwise known as “The Burmese Python,” is a striking sensation. Tzien lost his last fight via submission, but has spent an extensive amount of time training his ground abilities. Known for his good chin, This will be Tzien’s hardest challenge yet. #4 “Red Ribbon Army’s” Android Ten (4-7) vs “The Boss” Motoso Angostura (7-4-1) The breakdown- Hometown: Arundel, US -----Bucaramanga, Colombia Fighting out of: New York ----- Los Angeles Height: 160 cm ----- 170 cm Age: 22 ----- 23 Specialty: Boxing ----- Muay Thai Android Ten started his career at a promising 4-2, but has lost his last five fights. Three of those losses have come via submission. Android Ten is an original android that has a huge information database with exceptional processing capabilities, and hopes that this tournament will help turn his record around. The Boss was one of Budokai’s rising stars who has hit some troubled waters recently, after losing his Budokai Bantamweight belt to Macmara, The Boss has hit a skid, losing two out of his last three fights and fighting to one draw. However, the future still looks bright for The Boss, and many believe he can return to his former glory. And now, for the Middleweights: #1 Rogerio De Souza (9-8) vs Max “Captain” Chaos (12-5) The breakdown- Hometown: Rio De Janeiro, Brazil ----- Sydney, Australia Fighting out of: Rio De Janeiro ----- London Height: 190 cm ----- 180 cm Age: 23 ----- 23 Specialty: BJJ ----- Wrestling De Souza is a premier grappler in the MMA world. While he has never had a pure grappling match, all nine of his wins come via submission. He has only been submitted himself once, during a title shot against Caesar El Toro Jr., earlier this year. After picking up another excellent submission win since then, De Souza is looking to Nap, Snap, or Tap his way to another title shot. Captain Chaos is a premier prospect in Budokai’s Welterweight division. Chaos puts his prospect status on the line in a true test of heart and determination by attempting to claim the middleweight belt. Naturally weighing 180 lbs, Chaos hopes that his lack of a weight cut will make him more rested than his competitors. Chaos has shown the ability to put people to sleep with his stand up and his ground game, with three Ko’s and seven submission victories. #2 Christopher “Mr. Takedown” Blackburn (4-1) vs Ikemba Onazi (3-1) The breakdown- Hometown: Freetown, Sierra Leon ----- Awka, Senegal FIghting out of: Los Angeles ----- Las Vegas Height: 182 cm ----- 193 cm Age: 22 ----- 21 Specialty: Wrestling ----- Muay Thai Mr. Takedown has his nickname for good reason- he has taken down nearly every opponent he’s faced with ease. Only Theophile Bonnet hasn’t felt Blackburn’s Ground and Pound, as he managed to win via decision. Make no mistake, even when opponents know Blackburn’s strategy, they still find it difficult to defend against him. This is his first true test, and his first fight in Budokai. Onazi is one of the strongest, biggest fighters in the Middleweight division, and stuns people every time he makes weight. The incredibly strong Onazi forced his first opponent in MMA to retire after KOing him with a head kick. Always dangerous yet still unproven, Onazi looks to show the rest of the middleweight division who the next top prospect is. #3 Scott Hill (6-4) vs John “Johnny” Lawrence (7-2) The breakdown- Hometown: Lincoln, Nebraska ----- Los Angeles, CA Fighting out of: Los Angeles ----- Las Vegas Height: 185 cm ----- 180 cm Age: 21 ----- 21 Specialty: BJJ ----- BJJ Hill was the inaugural Anti Championship Berkut Middleweight champion, which closed before he had the chance to defend it. He also challenged for the DSC belt but lost via submission to Sam Rinaldi. Hill is making his first appearance inside the Budokai ring, and many wonder how he’ll fair. Johnny Lawrence is 3-1 in Budokai, and all seven of his career wins have come via submission. training at the Cobra Kai dojo at a young age, Lawrence imagines each opponent to be his lifelong enemy, Daniel Larusso. So far the strategy has worked for Lawrence, as he has only lost twice in his career. #4 Luiz Franca (10-5) vs Dragomir “Drago” Savic (2-1) The Breakdown- Hometown: Sao Paolo, Brazil ----- Dragobuzde, Serbia Fighting out of: Sydney ----- London Height: 188 cm ----- 186 cm Age: 30 ------ 20 Specialty: Wrestling ----- Boxing/Muay Thai Franca is a long time Budokai competitor, and has had two title shots but lost both via KO. Franca is looking for redemption, and has gone 7-5 in one of Budokai’s toughest divisions. He has shown his excellent ground skills, with seven victories coming via submission. Franca is the oldest and most experienced fighter in the Middleweight tournament, and looks to use that to his advantage. Drago Savic is one of Budokai’s brightest unproven prospects. AT just 20 years old with only three fights to his name, Savic has shown glimpses of Sensational Boxing and Muay Thai, and a solid ground game to match. Training at Dr. Hatsumi’s Clinic, which hosts six current champions in other divisions, most notably Pablo Maracon and Esteban San Pedro. Regardless of his performance in the Middleweight tournament, the future looks very bright for Savic. Bonus fights on the card: Superheavyweight Division Phil “Testosterone” Coleman (17-3) vs Mark Lesnar (18-7) The breakdown- Hometown: New York, NY ----- Minneapolis, MN Fighting out of: London ----- London Height: 188 cm ----- 185 cm Age: 27 ----- 30 Specialty: Wrestling ----- Wrestling “Testosterone” Coleman is a bodybuilder and former NCAA wrestler who began his MMA career on a mysterious island. After dominating nearly every opponent on the island, he was given an immediate title shot in Budokai, which he lost in a close third round. Looking to receive another title shot, Coleman bounced back in his last fight with a first round KO victory. Lesnar is also a former NCAA wrestler with an extensive background on the island. In fact, Lesnar was at one point coached by the same manager as Coleman. Now under new management, Lesnar is also coming off of a title shot loss to current champ Samuel Nti. Lesnar is one of the most popular fighters in Budokai, and fans across the world want to see him get another shot at glory. And lastly, the main event- Championship Bout Heavyweight Division Kay “Horizontal Kiss” Bone (15-2) vs “el dragon” Felix Inarritu (11-2) The breakdown- Hometown: Coleraine, Northern Ireland ----- Madrid, Spain Fighting out of: London ----- Los Angeles Height: 215 cm ----- 200 cm Age: 23 ----- 23 Specialty: Boxing ----- Boxing Horizontal Kiss is one of the most exciting fighters in Budokai. Almost every time he fights, the crowd anticipates a Knock out. Bone has held the title twice, first losing his belt to the current challenger, but reclaiming it against Kento Kawamata. This stands as his only loss in Budokai, and Bone looks to extend this streak with another KO victory. Felix Inarritu stands as the only man in Budokai to have beaten Kay Bone, which has to help his confidence going into this fight. Felix is one of the most well rounded fighters in the Division, but generally chooses to stand and bang, with all 11 of his victories coming by KO, and all but one of them ending in the first round. This fight is exactly what the fans want, to see two brawlers get after it. Don’t go anywhere folks, this fight may be over quickly with an exciting KO by either man. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
