With the recent incident regarding our former Featherweight Champion and the subsequent stripping of his title, the throne now remains empty and the crown without a head to sit on.




8 to 16 of the worlds brightest young warriors will battle it out to prove they have what it takes to become Champion of not only the tournament, but their weight-class as the winner will become the new King of the Featherweight division. There have been 6 men to sit in the top spot so far, who will become the lucky number 7th?




There are multiple prizes and awards available to those willing to earn it, so waste no time in signing up.

The bracket is now live! The date for the first round will be 31st December 2018 - Budokai 52.




Hopefully those that are already booked will not be injured during this time, but we can't postpone it longer for those that have been waiting. If you are injured, we can likely request Mike to sort it out.

I'd like to assure you that all matches are random with the exception of Baier-Wallace, and Fiso-Jack, as the original draw had Baier fighting Fiso, and they are already scheduled to do so in a match outside of the tournament. I don't want to have that count as round 1 as we wanna have all the matches on the same card, for things like promo materials and the like. I merely swapped Jack with Baier as he was the closest name in the bracket.




As you all know, NYE JMMA events are always a bang, so expect some fireworks in the weeks to come!

Ladies (yeah right) and Gentlemen (also sketchy, but close enough), I present to you from the deserts of the Middle East and the Jungles of Rio de Janeiro Brazil, the Master of the Camel Clutch and Sultan of the Burning Sands, QFC Tournament Winner and Founding Member of Hell House:

 

IRON SHEIK

 

Sheik is a savage in the cage, with seven of his eight victories coming by way of knockout. He has a brutal, brawling style that is hard to find an answer for, and a toughness that none of his opponents have been able to crack. Both of his losses were hard-fought contests against top level fighters that went the distance in two epic fight of the night performances, and opponents would be hard-pressed to repeat that performance as Sheik has been ironing out his game plan extensively since then, and has progressed into a more complete and even more violent fighter.

 

When he heard about the Budokai Featherweight Grand Prix, Sheik instantly asked for and was granted release from his contract at UCF. Since then, he has been training with the singular purpose to enter the Grand Prix, demolish all of his opponents and arise as the Greatest Featherweight in the World! (Ok, that's really three purposes, but it's all the same thing.)

 

Iron Sheik is looking forward to the chance to compete in this tournament, with some of the greatest up and coming featherweights of this generation. Thank you to the tournament organizers for the opportunity to show off his skills in the cage.

What a cracking first round!



Some fights were twenty minute wars, otherwise were over in a flash, and there were a few unexpected upsets too.



The results were as follows:

Good luck to everyone in the next round!




Also, the person I hired for the writing piece (Doc Dannis) flaked and ignored any follow ups. I will instead be looking for someone new to provide work for the following rounds, that will be supplemented by my graphics. You guys deserve it, so hopefully I can get a deal done.

In the first of the Championship bouts, Budokai Breakthrough Fighter of the Year winner Ceaser El Toro re-enters the ring hoping to extend his winning streak to seven, as he faces the up-and-coming Brit, Tommy Robinson. Next, the newly crowned King of Welterweights - Roli Poli - is set to protect his thrown from the returning former MMA Helsinki Champion Bo Nickal. Thirdly, in the final of the title matches, Russia's Light-Heavyweight Champion Soda Popinski makes his tenth appearance as he hopes to dispatch the first man to ever hold that belt, former Champion Jesse Kilpatrick. Finally, We end the night with a bang, as we welcome former IXF Light-Heavyweight Champion and The Island Season 8 standout Bryan Schaub, as he takes on former Budokai FF Champion and DKCW Champion, Short Badass in the Main Event of the evening.

and before all that, we have the second round of the Budokai Featherweight Grand Prix!

Fight 1, Round 2

Featherweight Grand Prix

Jojo "Big Party" Diaz (4-1-1, 4-0-1 BFF) vs. "Sleeping" Luis Vega (5-0-1, 1-0-0 BFF)


In the first tournament match of this round we welcome back the tallest and shortest competitors remaining as Cuba's own party animal Jojo Diaz meets the small but deadly Luis Vega. With an impressive showing in the first round of the tournament that saw Diaz beat his opponent from pillar to post, there are a number of eyes on this striking specialist with many pundits believing the tournament is his to lose. Here to prove the "experts" wrong however is the young Vega, a Finnish wrestler who quickly dispatched of Mustafa Aray in the previous round in a true showing of calculated destruction. The man that finishes victorious will become the first to secure his place in the semi-finals, one step closer to Championship gold and all of its glory.



Fight 2, Round 2

Featherweight Grand Prix

Disco Kid (8-2-0, 1-0-0 BFF) vs. Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller (1-0-0, 1-0-0 BFF)


The second tournament match sees the former MMA Helskinki Bantamweight Champion Disco Kid as he hopes to grab another win in the Featherweight division, as he faces off against the always-dangerous boxer Lewis Burwell Puller. Having already made waves throughout his career, including wins over former Champions Yeu Fei and Har Ambe, it seems that the sky is the limit for Disco Kid and many have him as the front-runner for this tournament. A striking sensation to say the least, Puller was not phased coming into this tournament having never fought in MMA before, and with the quick dispatching of Iron Sheik in round one, we know why. This is a classic grappler vs. striker match up like times of old, and one you should definitely not miss.



Fight 3, Round 2

Featherweight Grand Prix

Bakkes "RoadBlock" Ackerman (1-2-0, 1-0-0 BFF) vs. "The Samoan Scrapper" Malaki Fiso (5-2-0, 5-2-0 BFF)


Next, we witness the 19-year old South African Bakkes Ackerman, as he attempts to become a roadblock in the path of former BFF Bantamweight Champion Malaki Fiso. known for his incredible strength despite average frame, Ackerman is a force to be reckoned with inside the cage and out, boasting great grappling skills and strong striking capabilities. Opposite him will stand "The Samoan Scrapper" and former King of the Bantamweights, Malaki Fiso, whose diverse and high-level skill-set puts him as the favourite for this one. Fiso can devastate opponents on the feet and on the ground as we have seen before, but will need to be wary of the South African's sneaky submissions if the fight hits the mat.



Fight 4, Round 2

Featherweight Grand Prix

Steffen Baier (6-2-0, 5-1-0 BFF) vs. Hitoshi Yoshida (3-0-1, 3-0-1 BFF)


Finally, the last match in the second round will be between former Bantamweight standout Steffen Baier as he looks to dirty the unblemished record of Japanese grappling sensation Hitoshi Yoshida. The young German Baier began his Budokai career with successful run in the division below, but opted for a move up once his teammate Demian Azevedo claimed the throne there. During this run, Baier finished a number of opponents with devastating chokes, a speciality of this Berliner. Yoshida has seen similar success during his shorter career, managing to rack up wins with both submissions and knockouts, as well as a draw with the aforementioned Jojo Diaz. This fight will decide the final man to progress to the semi-finals, and it truly could go either way.
