  5. Combate 100: Los Angeles Event Preview The biggest event in Combate's history marks the 100th numbered card the promotion has put together since its re-establishment in September 2020. The blockbuster event takes place in Los Angeles at the historic LA Memorial Colosseum, whilst it wouldn't be fitting for Combate to make such a milestone without putting on a show in our hometown of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. EVERY active Combate championship will be defended, with $100k performance bonuses in place across both cards, making this a life changing night for everybody involved. A big thanks to SuckerPunch for sending champions Magnificent Chulalongkorn and Noah Anderson, Odense for sending champion Maxim Jahouli, and lastly Synchronicity for sending Izzy Bangin and Detkhunjon Sitsongrit to compete in this landmark event. VACANT COMBATE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE [MAIN EVENT]: Mohammed Kahn vs. Valentin Taneyev Combate's greatest light heavyweight product in Mohammed Kahn looks to regain his crown as he takes on new addition and SFL champion Valentin Taneyev. With a staggering FORTY ONE knockouts between these two heavy hitters, it seems almost unthinkable that the judges would be required for this title affair. Mohammed Kahn has beaten almost every light heavyweight that Combate have thrown at him during his twelve-fight stint with the promotion, which includes a staggering seven title fights. The Lebanese striker with a somewhat questionable terrorist background lost his Combate 205lbs crown to GAMMA's Joosep Lohmus back at Combate 95, but with Lohmus unable to defend his title, 'The Pitbull' has the opportunity to gain it back in perhaps his toughest matchup yet. Russia's own 'Hand Grenade' Valentin Taneyev is one of the best additions from the promotion's recent acquisition of SFL. A terrifying striker, in the prime of his career wants to make an impact on the promotion by ousting one of its favourite sons. Hailing from Saint Petersburg, Taneyev will hope to adapt to new surroundings, having competed in 25 fights in SFL, dating back to SFL 05 in August 2020. With an incredible 27 bonuses shared between both men, it seems unfathomable that at least one of these knockout artists wouldn't walk away with that Combate $100k bonus check, hand signed by Darren Russell this Saturday night. Who walks away with the Combate light heavyweight title? COMBATE FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE [CO-MAIN EVENT]: Obi Wan Kenobi (©) vs. Magnificent Chulalongkorn When one of the best featherweights and bantamweights of his generation meets the rising star and Olympic champion, only fireworks can be expected. For technician Obi Wan Kenobi, he finally added Combate gold to his impressive resume of Syn and UnderGround titles just two weeks ago after ousting Yuro Nagasaki at the second time of asking at Combate 98. Life in Combate has brought nothing but good results for Kenobi, who is unbeaten in his seven outings under the promotion. He will hope to create a legacy that will be tough to match at the summit of Combate's 145lbs division, as he makes his first defense in a superfight against Magnificent Chulalongkorn. SuckerPunch's golden child, riding a nine-fight win streak and being crowned the Olympic champion, it's fair to say that Chula is enjoying life under Bjorn O'Donnel. The Thai striker continues to impress across the Tycoon world, and after passing the acid test of the Olympics, with victories over Finnish Tax Payer, Diogo Jimenez and Rukter Demenok - it seems like he is ready to compete at the highest level of the sport. Who takes the featherweight title in this Champ vs. Champ matchup? COMBATE LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE: Jacque Joteel (©) vs. Ernest Graves Moscow's own Jacque Joteel has really made that Combate lightweight crown his own since picking it up earlier this year, following it up with Olympic gold and cementing himself as one of the best lightweights in the planet. A loss to Dick Pawlik ensured that Joteel would have to raise his game to be considered as the true #1 155lb'er on Tycoon. Joteel returned from Syn with a vengeance, knocking out Domenico Mazziotti just five seconds into the second round just two weeks on from his defeat. But during his super fight and Olympic escapades, a new contender has emerged. A former Odense champion, Ernest Graves has been a perennial lightweight contender, having competed in over 61 professional bouts. His 33-26-2 record suggests some hot and cold patches in his career, but its clear to say that Graves is well and truly on great run currently, having won seven of his last eight fights. Can Graves oust the champion?! FEATHERWEIGHT: Yuro Nagasaki vs. Darren Dixon Sixty-six fight veteran Yuro Nagasaki was dethroned as Combate's featherweight champion after defeat to Obi Wan Kenobi a fortnight ago, but will hope to return to winning ways as he rematches Darren Dixon. Nagasaki had previously gone on a 12-fight winning streak since switching to manager Dead Disney back in August 2021, picking up the Odense, CFC and Combate bantamweight and featherweight crowns along the way. A defeat to Finnish Tax Payer by razor-close split decision in the Olympic semi-final match up saw that streak snapped, before a win, draw and a loss leaving that 40-year-old in limbo as to his future. Darren Dixon has always been a man who's been in and around the title hunt in SFL, GAMMA and Combate, but has failed to take the step needed to clinch a title. A pair of wins over former champion Balagot Liu clearly show Dixon's pedigree, but he'll need to get the better of Nagasaki in a rematch of their Olympic quarterfinal, which Nagasaki took by decision. Can Nagasaki make another run at the title? Or is it Dixon's time for world title talk? LIGHTWEIGHT: Bong Ji Woo vs. Tacitus Kilgore Another great recent pickup by Combate, from the burning ashes of WCF rises Bong Ji Woo, who makes the step up to Combate at the tender age of 30. Under the tutelage of Chris Karter, the South Korean has picked up a number of accolades, including a four-time WCF champion alongside a TWGC title. A well-rounded grappler with devastating knockout power, could the 'Kung Fu Zombie' become the next man in line for the crown with a win here? Standing in Bong's way is long-time SFL lightweight contender and four-time champion Tacitus Kilgore. After twenty-five fights in the promotion, pastures new await for Billy Arseworth's lightweight technician, who looks to also emerge in the Combate 155lbs title mix with a victory on this blockbuster card. FEATHERWEIGHT: Eduardo Corassa vs. Detkhunjon Sitsongrit It's fitting that one of the most important matchups in Combate history will be settled at the fourth time of asking at the landmark Combate 100 event. Whilst former bantamweight king Eduardo Corassa is well and truly back in title contention at 145lbs with five straight victories, a matchup with Sitsongrit has always been on the radar. Their rivalry dates way back to Combate 20, with Sitsongrit defending his bantamweight crown, with an unanimous decision victory over Corassa. Fast forward to Combate 35, and the rematch couldn't be settled, as the judges scored the fight a draw... with Corassa outpointing Sitsongrit in the rematch at Combate 41. So after fifteen rounds, the rivalry remains unsettled. But (hopefully) one can define themselves as the true victor this Saturday night at Combate 100. COMBATE WELTERWEIGHT TITLE: Jensen Chelios (©) vs. Izzy Bangin Jensen Chelios is truly in the prime of his career. One defeat in his last ten bouts, and with his last loss at 170lbs coming way back at Combate 52, it's clear that the 33-year-old is the man to beat in the welterweight division. Successfully making his first defense back at Combate 95, Chelios will hope to target Bobby Bobblehead's record as the greatest Combate welterweight champion with a victory over SFL champion and Syn contender Izzy Bangin. With a record of 29-3-3, it's pretty clear that Nigeria's Bangin is clearly one of the world's elite at 170lbs. One of the greatest technicians in the sport, Izzy has picked up ALL twenty-nine of his wins by decision. Bangin enjoyed victory on his previous Combate appearance, outpointing then champion Bobby Bobblehead back at Combate 86. Can Bangin taste victory once again on Combate soil? Or is it time for Chelios to emerge as a real player in the world welterweight scene? VACANT COMBATE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: Grant Alyoshin vs. Noah Anderson After the disappointment over the stripping of heavyweight champion Tobig Tofail, a new king must rise in the Combate 265lbs division. Enter two-time champion Grant Alyoshin, who has fought at Combate since the early days of Combate 7. The Russian's two title losses have come at the hands of generational heavyweight talents Karim Johnson and Wolfgang Muller, but three straight wins, including two consecutive head kick knockouts leave Alyoshin as the man on everyone's lips at 265lbs. Standing across from the cage is SuckerPunch's heavyweight king Noah Anderson. Having recently clinched the crown from Will Wrecks, Anderson finds himself with a golden ticket to clinching Combate gold at the tender age of 27. With thirty-one knockouts between the two heavy hitters, it's another fight that surely can't go to the judges' scorecards. COMBATE MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE: Wolfgang Brandstatter (©) vs. Maxim Jahouli Wolfgang Brandstatter has enjoyed life following the retirement of Chris Steve, the only man to defeat him inside the promotion. Finally clinching the middleweight crown with a win over Leyte Gulf, Brandstatter followed it up with his first defense over former WCF champion Quebra Cranio to set up a fight with another promotion's champion in Maxim Jahouli. The Pride of Pakistan, Maxim Jahouli has been the man to beat at Odense, having recently got the call up to fight at Syn Supernova, sliding to defeat against Winston Todd. Can Jahouli redeem himself at Combate 100? WELTERWEIGHT: Demetrius Jackson vs. Bobby Brawler With the honour of opening up this historic card, Demetrius Jackson and Bobby Brawler will hope to announce themselves to a huge audience of fans, and potentially secure a life changing $100k bonus! Combate 100: Rio Event Preview Crossing over to Rio de Janeiro, a blockbuster card featuring a number of promotional debuts, alongside appearances of some of Combate's best fighters and former champions. HEAVYWEIGHT [MAIN EVENT]: Kjetil Olsen vs. Billy Bob Brown Two men who will have their eyes on Los Angeles' heavyweight title bout is Norway's Kjetil Olsen and USA's Billy Bob Brown, who both make their Combate debuts in Rio de Janeiro. Kjetil Olsen has emerged as one of the brightest heavyweight prospects, having appeared at the Olympics, sliding to defeat to Alexei Babinski in the semi finals. Olsen is a former California MMA champion and recently lost to Clarence Host in challenging for the Blaze Brothers crown. Billy Bob Brown comes into the fight riding a three fight win streak, and winning six of his last seven in SFL. The knockout artist will hope to add Olsen to his impressive resume and make a statement on his Combate debut. LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT [CO-MAIN EVENT]: Blazej Byczkiewicz vs. Jeremy Jones Former WCF and GDL champion Blazej Byczkiewicz got his Combate career off to the perfect start, becoming the first man to defeat Jack Sullivan across MMA, kickboxing and grappling. A worsening cut forced Blazej to get Sullivan out there quickly, with the Polish striker getting the job done in the second round. A big step up is handed to Blazej, with a fight against former PULSE and RISE world champion Jeremy Jones. Jones had previously challenged Mohammed Kahn for the light heavyweight crown, and recently dispatched former Combate champion Dwayne Haskins with a spectacular first round knockout. Can Blazej make the step up or is it time for Jones to assert his dominance? HEAVYWEIGHT: Gyukosho Fujimoto vs. Richard Rockefeller With ten knockout wins in the Combate banner, it seems super necessary to have forty-knockout veteran Gyukosho Fujimoto on the Combate 100 card. A three-time Combate heavyweight title challenger, the Japanese heavy hitter will hope a victory gives him some hope in the 265lbs division. Fujimoto welcomes former WCF champion and fellow knockout artist Richard Rockefeller to the promotion, with the twenty-five year old adding some youth to the division. Rockefeller will hope to add a veteran like Fujimoto to his resume on his Open ID debut having spent two months out of action. LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT: Ruslan Karelin vs. Dwayne Haskins Ruslan Karelin has only lost to Dwayne Haskins and Mohammed Kahn in Combate, having seemingly breezed past every other light heavyweight contender outside of the two. In this his third fight against Haskins, Karelin will hope to secure victory that keeps him in title contention at 205lbs. Haskins, much like Karelin has only recently suffered defeats to Mohammed Kahn and co-main event star Jeremy Jones. This marks a key fight for both men on a landmark night in Rio de Janeiro. WELTERWEIGHT: Vlad Tepes III vs. Henry Lancaster Fresh from title fight heartbreak for Vlad Tepes III, the welterweight will look to defeat an old rival in a rematch from June 2021 against Henry Lancaster. Tepes III took the decision victory on that occasion, but could Lancaster taste victory on this occasion to remain in the upper echelons of the welterweight division? FEATHERWEIGHT: My Time vs. Balagot Liu Former featherweight champion My Time has bounced back in impressive fashion from his five-fight skid, having picked up back-to-back victories over Calixto Cardona and Action Bastard. Time will complete a trilogy against fellow former champion Balagot Liu at this landmark event. Both men hope a key victory will mark an upturn in form, with both having won just 2 of their last 7 bouts. Who will come out on top in this trilogy bout? HEAVYWEIGHT: Barron White vs. Kimbo Slice Former Blaze Brothers heavyweight king and WCF contender Barron White will hope to build on his successful promotional debut win over Hip Hop by adding a Tycoon legend to his record. Former P4P #1, Syn, CEC and original Combate world champion Kimbo Slice makes his 60th walk to the cage at the age of 44 to continue his incredible career. Slice has won 16 of his last 18, having recently defeated Techno Viking under the SFL banner. Up and comer meets legend, could Kimbo make another run at Combate?! LIGHTWEIGHT: Verneri Ahma vs. Domenico Mazziotti It's hard to imagine a Combate event to mark such a landmark without long-term lightweight champion Verneri Ahma, who joined the promotion during the PANDA merger in February 2021. Ahma is another one who wants to remain in title contention, with his opponent having just lost a title matchup. Domenico Mazziotti was handed a title shot on his promotional debut, but slid to a second-round knockout defeat to Jacque Joteel. The Italian will hope to make an impressive showing on his second appearance to mark his arrival in the promotion. HEAVYWEIGHT: Alexandros Stamatis vs. Juju Baraka A true knockout artist, Alexandros Stamatis has won all 36 of his victories by knockout. The Greek heavyweight joined as part of the PANDA merger and has always acted as almost a gatekeeper to the top five at heavyweight. He'll hope a win over Baraka can set up some big fights. Juju Baraka makes his Combate debut having competed in SFL, CFC and HFC. With ten knockouts to his name, this one could lead to another bonus seeking KO on Saturday night. FEATERWEIGHT: Calixto Cardona vs. Hratch Tzien Another mainstay in the promotion, Calixto Cardona will make his 21st appearance for Combate this Saturday, something only bettered by Action Bastard. Recently sliding to three consecutive defeats, the 35-year-old will hope to prove there's still life as he completes a trilogy against Hratch Tzien. Hratch Tzien has struggled to show his best since joining Combate, but will hope finally picking up a victory over Calixto Cardona at the third attempt will prove he can compete at the top level.
  6. Just curious if any players of the game work in combat sports in reality?! I work with Eagle FC in Miami
  7. Combate announces SFL merger One of the biggest mergers in Tycoon history has begun, as Combate acquires #3 organisation SFL, after brokering a major deal with Chris Karter. Contract offers have been sent and SFL's fighters will be welcomed to the beaches of Rio de Janeiro with open arms. The acquisition will add some depth to Combate's divisions and will lead to an increase to two shows per week and lead to some very intriguing matchups.
  8. It's almost like the featherweight division isn't appreciated...
  9. BREAKING: Combate are rumoured to be in talks for one of the most historic mergers in Tycoon history. Darren Russell was contacted for comment, but our calls were directed to his voicemail.
  10. COMBATE STRIP TOBIG FAIL OF HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE Well it's a day that fans hope would never come, but Combate have stripped Tobig Tofail of his heavyweight crown, following revelations of a criminal past. Recent charges brought against the heavyweight include money laundering, racketeering and human trafficking. Combate president Darren Russell released the following statement: "On behalf of myself and Combate, we're disgusted to learn of the recent developments around the disgraced Tobig Tofail. He has been stripped of his heavyweight crown and the Combate brand will not be associated with him until the criminal trial has come to a conclusion" Now it leaves a vacant heavyweight title, with rumours a new champion will be crowned at Combate 100 on May 28.
  11. My client will be making no comment at this time - lawyer
  12. BREAKING NEWS: Talks between Combate and Kilo Maluga have broken down at the final hour. Darren Russell commented on the situation, telling sources that the Unrestricted Org of the Year 2021 had made a "life changing, record breaking" offer to Maluga and manager Chris Karter, but the partnership have decided to remain with Syn. With Kilo choosing his side ahead of DYNAMITE (Syn vs. Combate), attentions for Russell will now turn towards developing yet another talent to defeat Maluga, having oversaw the rise of Karim Johnson under the bright lights of Combate.
  13. For the first time in recent history... Kilo has a major decision to make. Does he remain with Syn, or does he head to Combate, GAMMA or SFL for pastures new!
