Compat 1: Goldrush Preview

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1464721217combat1.png

 

Prince Idowu (3-1-0) vs Royal Pain (5-1-0) – 155lbs

We start the night off with a lightweight bout of Idowu against Pain. I think it's safe to say Idowu is not the kind of fighter that likes to fight for decisions. All of “The Future King's” fights ended in the first round. He has shown to be a dangerous striker everywhere, finishing guys on the feet, or taking them down to unleash some hellish ground and pound. Even in his sole loss, he almost knocked his opponent out, but got caught in a triangle when he dove in to finish him.

 

Royal Pain is not a guy to be that careless against though. The brown belt from Peru has racked up five submission wins already, four of those in the first round. Because of that threat Idowu will look to keep the fight standing. That's easier said than done though. Pain has some very strong takedowns, scoring a takedown in all but one of his fights and hitting half of the takedowns he attempts.

 

Nate Gonzalez (6-0-0) vs Richard Machan (3-0-0) – 155lbs title

Two undefeated fighters go at it for the Island Combat Lightweight Championship. Nate is an submission ace, coming out of Compton. So far, his tactic has always been very clear, limit damage on the outside, get to the clinch, then to the ground and then submit you opponent. Judging from his past fights, it seems to be working. The outspoken fighter has aqquired a cultfollowing of fans already, most of them drawn by his brazz behavior on Buzz, and if he does not win the title, we might see a riot in the stadium.

 

Looking to play spoiler is Richard Machan. Calling “Roller” an Mma fighter might be a bit of a stretch. In all three of his fights, Machan has not hit his opponent with any standing strikes. No, the ground is where Machan thrives. Once there, he mixes up strikes and submissions in high volume. He does not try to pass often, prefering to just keep pressuring his opponent with attacks, until evantually he succumbs. Because of this strong groundgame, Gonzalez might be forced for this first time in his carreer to actually try to keep the fight standing.

 

Issumatar Tariaksuq (7-1-0) vs Walton Kuntz (8-3-0) – 135lbs title

Next up already the second titlefight of the evening. Tariaksuq might be the only fighter on the Island who wins most his fights by decision. That's not because he doesn't have the power, but his style is tailor made for it. Issumatar has two layers of offence. On the outside he never throws a punch, but slows his opponent down by throwing a high volume of accurate low- and bodykicks, sometimes throwing a high kick for the real damage. If he's met with a better striker, he will move the fight to the clinch, where he unloads with elbows, sapping more energy from his opponent. Because of this, Tariaksuq has never lost the last round of a fight, often even scoring 10-8 cards.

 

Walton Kuntz is the complete opposite of Tariaksuq, having finished all his fights. Kuntz is primarely a boxer, but finishes most his fights by submission. He uses his boxing to close the distance, and once in the clinch, makes sure to quickly pull guard. It's not the safest game for Kuntz, he had to submit twice, but his oppurtunistic grappling can give any fighter fits. We'll see who comes out on top in this clash of styles.

 

Carlos Newton (8-2-0) vs Don Julio Cesar Chavez (5-2-0) – 185lbs title

Former champion Carlos Newton is trying to win the title once again.The Canadian submission ace lost his title at Top Dog to Gleb Zheglov, but gets the chance to redeem himself now. Newton never throws strikes, but waits patiently from the outside, till the moment he can hit the takedown. From there he stays very mobile, often improving position, and attacking his opponent with strikes and subs, till they are too exhausted to defend his subs.

 

Cesar Chaves prefers the outside. A top class boxer, he peppers his opponents with strikes from the outside. If his opponent manages to close the distance, he will pull guard and work from his very strong guard. That is not a place where he wants to be in this fight though.

 

Jake Belcher (8-2-0) vs Hop Sing Jung (10-3-0) – 170lbs title

Two former champions are back to contend for a title once again. Jake Belcher is one of the few that has been champion in both Island FC and Highland Island, and he will be looking to add another championship to his record. “The Talent's” game is based on his takedowns, which are some of the best in the division. From there he attacks with both submissions and ground and pound. His submission game is more for diversity than actually dangerous. The real danger comes from his ground and pound, where he unloads heavy elbows and punches.

 

Hop Sing Jung is also a former champion, but not in the 170lbs division, but in the 145lbs division. He is one of the top 145 pounders on the Island, only losing to former Island FC Champions Vermeer and Babajide, and now he wants to claim the 170lbs title too.

He has a huge task ahead of him though, Belcher seems to be his equal on the ground and has a whopping 30lbs on him when walking around.

"Arctic Frost" Issumatar Tariaksuq



"I'd like to thank Island Combat for this opportunity. I feel like this is the culmination of an entire year (Tycoon time) of blood, sweat and tears. I've mentioned about never getting a shot at the title, but here I am. The number one bantamweight on the Island. I think it was worth the wait.



I have a dangerous opponent ahead of me, but I have my people's spirit and pride to guide me. My angakkuq has already shown me the way.



I'm a shadow. I'm the cold of night. Nobody can hang with me for 25 minutes. I am the Keelut coming for you while you sleep.



Good luck, Tinie Furhur."



Editor's note: Issumatar's now ranked #2.

Island combat is having its 1st event and it is sure to be

talked about in the MMA community.

It features 10 fights,

sure to keep the fans, on their edge of their seats!




ISLAND COMBAT ONE


This is JJ Tycoon owner of island combat we have a

great first card coming up i know the fans are going to

love it.


I would like to introduce Jared Martin he is The Island

combat media man and he will be breaking down the

fights and giving you his thoughts on who will win.

http://www.mmatycoon.com/buzz/uploads/1465916166jm.png

Jared Martin:ok let's get started here are the fights!



There is a fight between Danny lil, and Pyry Kontio, has

not been booked yet,Danny has yet to sign on for the

fight We all like to see them, go at each other in the

opening fight.





Fight number 2 on the card will be


Felipe Dalmazo vs Justin Sane.



Felipe comes into this fight, with a 4 fight win streak, all by

knockout.


This Brazilian will be there, ready to aim for the

head, and knock out his opponent. But of course we

know, it’s also a good thing to lose once in a while, so

they can adjust to their weaknesses, this goes for both

fighters. On the other hand, Justin also comes in with no

losses, and a two win streak. This American breed fighter

has not seen the octagon as much as his opponent,

which gives Felipe the experience factor.


coming up next is


Kona “The” Bud, and Luna “Pow Pow Ploy.

http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/31/31w11.jpgVShttp://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/40/40w37.jpg


Kona tends not to go far in the fight, and ends them in the

first round. This is seen in all of his knockout victories. He

also holds, an KO of the night award.


Luna, steps into this brawl, with more experience then his

opponent. Both of these men, have the strength to

knockout each other.


But the advantage goes to Kona, if he can end the fight

quick.

The next fight fight involves


“Future King” Prince Idowu, and Royal Pain.


http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/21/21b3.jpgVShttp://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/30/30w30.jpg



The prince from Nigeria comes in this fight, with 3 overall tkos in his

career. He is also known, to end a fight quickly, if he

catches them off guard.


So, tend to seeing Prince,

coming in with punches flying. Royal on the other hand,

will try to stay away from his reach, and go for a

submission attempt.


This Peru native also has a tendency to end a fight

quickly, so this fight, will most likely be over quickly. There

is no real advantage in this fight at all.


But if I had to pick an favorite it would have to be Royal

Pain.


The next fight on the card is


“The Epals” Rudy Mar Binay, and Kyle “H-Bomb” Harris.



http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/42/42w35.jpgVShttp://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/40/40b21.jpg


The Epals, come in with six wins all by submission. He

seems to have more trouble with staying up, in longer

fights, he may have less cardio, then is needed.


He has also earned, a 3 fight win award in his career as

a fighter.

Kyle comes in with a five fight losing streak, which does

not seem too good for this fighter morale for sure.


But can he get his act together for this fight?


The advantage has to go too Rudy, since he has more

fights, and has won a fight.


Next up is the Bad boy of buzz MR smacktalk Nate

“Cholo Gangster” Gonzalez vs Richard “Roller” Machan.


http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/33/33w8.jpgVShttp://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/1/1w2.jpg



Nate is known to throw his words, around the MMA

Tycoon community.

He is a fan fav and has a huge buzz following


But as I see it, it’s a tactic he uses, to cause his

opponents, to do mistakes.


Even though, his MMA career has only been 6 fights

long, he has won every one of those fights, with his

submission technique.


He favors to use the armbar as his go to submission

move. Let’s see he can continue to live up to the hype,

he thinks he is.


Richard comes in with 3 wins, and no losses, so both

fighters have no losses in the MMA. Two of these wins,

come from his knockout power.


A slight advantage goes too Nate, to a longer win streak,

so more experience in the ring as well.


JJ: all i can say is the fans love this kid Nate he talks a

lot of shit but he backs it up

***chough hey nate #ISLANDCOMBAT

moving on


“Artic Frost” Issumatar Tariksuq, and Walton “The Tinie Furer” Kunz.


http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/24/24w22.jpgVShttp://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/25/25w10.jpg


Issumatar tries to defend his 135 lb title.


He is coming into this fight, with pure momentum, with a 5

win streak, including two knockouts, and three decisions.


He also has a lot to prove, since all this buzz he has been

creating maybe trt .


On the other side, the challenger Walton shows

remarkable fighting strength, and agility in the ring. He

prefers to go to submission, but has also knocked out

one opponent. I’m not sure if we can call favorites at all,

on this one.


But if i had to pick Issumatar, would be the favorite.


Carlos “The Ronin” Newton, and Don Julio Cesar

Chavez, for the title of 185 lbs.

http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/14538422164511.jpgVShttp://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/39/39w35.jpg

Carlos knows how to submit his opponent, with all of his

eight wins, coming from some sort of submission. But he

has a slight problem, versus heavy hitters, with his two

losses from knock out.


On the other hand, Don has a more diverse way of

winning any fight.

He has one knockout, three submissions, and one win by

decision. He also has a better record, versus fighters that

have submissions, as their main attack.


This said, I slight advantage goes to Don, because he

has the ability to adapt more, then Carlos, being only a

submission king.


Co_Main Event


“Pretty” Peter Potter, and Richard “Middle Dick” Richards lii.

http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/14517739607444.jpgVShttp://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/41/41b7.jpg

Peter has a record of 7-1, with all of his wins, by knockout.

He has proven time and time again he is a contender.


He also has an impressive 6 win record in a row. This kid

definitely has knockout power to spare. Lastly, his only

loss was by an armbar submission.


On the other side of the cage, Richard also has jaw

drooping knockout power as well.


This one is going to bean all-out brawl. But he has recently been knocked out,

so it may be his weakness as well as a strength for him.


I have to give the advantage to Peter here, due to more in cage experience.




Main event


Jake “The Talent” Belcher, and Hope Sing “Hyun Ae”Jung.

http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/1/1w24.jpgVShttp://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/14524342481645.png


Jake belcher comes off from losing his title to Tapio

Sammalkorpi, due to unanimous decision.

This title fight, can let Jake, get his redemption, and win

back another title belt to his name.

But Jake knows his way around the cage, because

before this he was on a 5-0, winning streak.


Jake has a strong fist, with 8 record knockouts, in his long

career. Question is, will he come back weak, or strong

after losing the belt?


On the other side Hope Sing, is a submission expert, with

a total of eight submissions in his career. He also was in

the title run, but lost his title five fights ago, to a knockout

versus Alexander Vermeer.


He has a shot at submitting this guy, and seems to be a slight favorite.

Island Combat One


This event break down is being brought to you by MMA Fevre Media


proud media outlet for ISLAND COMBAT


EVENT COVERED BY,


Bronco Fevre



http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1464721217combat1.png




The inaugural card of this new org founded by the legendary Jay Tycoon



promises to put substance to the fact that Mr. Tycoon is a legend and a genius in the MMA Tycoon world.



Jay has put together a card packed with quality fights filled with virtually unpredictable matchups.



Each match on the card promises exciting possibilities from evenly matched fighters .



I'm going to give you my take on each fight but if you aren't in attendance for this show you are surely


missing one that will be for the record books .



Lets get to this spectacular card -





9. In the opener we have a 185lb matchup between Felipe Dalmazo (4-0 4KO) and Justin Sane (2-0 2KO) .



Both fighters come in undefeated .


Strong striking should be the highlight here but i look for it to be decided on the ground ultimately.



My outlook is a hard fought action packed slugfest ending in a tko on the ground for Justin Sane.





8.In the 170lb division this fight has Kona Bud (4-1 4KO) vs. Luna Ploy (6-2 2KO).



I look for the muay thai of Bud to come into play here to overpower the experience of Mr. Ploy.


Im calling for a devastating head kick ko fairly early on.





7.At 155 we have Prince Idowu (3-1 3KO) vs. Royal Pain (5-1 5 subs) in this one .



I see this one being a tactical bout with both fighters feeling each other out early.


Im taking Royal Pain to win by submission late after a great strategic contest.






6.Next is Rudy Mar Binay (6-2 6 subs) vs. Kyle Harris (0-3).



This one will be deceptively close.


I see Harris coming out strong with his brawling style



but i think Mar Binay can counter and will dominate with ground strikes.


My pick is a TKO for Rudy after a strong furious push from Mr. Harris.






5.Here we have Nate Gonzalez (6-0 6 subs) vs. Richard Machan (3-0 2KO) for the 155lb title.



This is my sleeper of the night.


These guys are very similar fighters.


There is no clear advantage for either man.



Im calling for ground control to give the win to Gonzalez in a split decision .






4. For the 135lb belt this one has Issumatar Tariaksuq (7-1 2KO) vs. Walton Kunz (8-3 7subs).



Now this will be fun.




The striking features the kicks of Issumatar against the punching power of Kunz.



On the the ground Tariaksuq appears to have an edge



but i think Kunz catches him with a massive punch early for the upset win.






3.At 185 and for the title we see Carlos Newton (8-2 8subs) vs. Don Julio Cesar Chavez (5-2 3subs).



Excellent matchup here if you like action.



Chavez will look to strike while Newton i anticipate will counter and wait for his opening.


This could go the distance for a tight decision but i think Chavez will connect late and surprise Newton to claim the belt.






2. To build tension for our finale this bout has Peter Potter (7-1 6KO) vs. Richard Richards lii (5-4 4KO).




Pure action will ensue in this fight.


I predict a furious pace with lots of powerful strikes and plenty of ground skills being displayed.



This will be determined after every facet of each mans skills is displayed.




I've got Potter to win by decision at the end of the fight of the night.







1. To cap this night of excitement off right Mr. Tycooner booked a thriller for the main event.



We have Jake Belcher (8-2 8KO) vs. Hop Sing Jung (10-3 8subs) for the 170lb title belt.




This bout pits the chin of Belcher against the power and stamina of Jung.


On paper the stats are virtually identical.



The strategy of each managers sliders will get his fighter the win here.



My prediction is that this will go the distance with the stamina ofJung paying dividends in the end as he wins the decision.



I encourage everyone to attend the card if possible.



Dont miss the action and dont forget the great merchandise offered by Leviathan .



Mark my words that this card will once again display the masterful talents of our man Jay Tycooner.


Enjoy the show!

[Official Preview]

http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1464721217combat1.png

[undercard Fights]

http://i.imgur.com/QxCnJXh.jpg

(Welterweight Division) Mateo Alejandro (1-1 MMA) (3-2 KT) versus Milly Rock (4-0)

(Preview)

Mateo Alejandro is a boxer that possesses tremendous one-punch knockout power. Making his debut in the QFC early in the Island Season, Mateo was quickly dispatched by submission fighter Pyry Konito. This defeat led fans to dismiss Mateo as another failed combatant to enter the fray. Mateo made the transition to kick boxing, fighting for Highland Kickboxing, where he amassed three victories with just two defeats.

 

Mateo fought some seriously heavy hitters during his kick boxing career; after defeating Nate Branch via unanimous decision, Mateo returned to mixed martial arts. With his new wealth of experience to support him, Mateo made short work of Anthony Graham, knocking him out in the second round.

 

Milly Rock is an undefeated mixed martial arts fighter and powerful Muay Thia kick boxer. Often touted as one of the hottest small-time prospects, Milly rock has fought nearly exclusively in freelance QFC bouts, aside from a erraneous attempt to cut 45 pounds to fight at bantamweight within Highland Island.

 

 

http://i.imgur.com/q7g05Di.jpg

(Middleweight Division) Felipe Dalmazo (4-0) versus Justin Sane (2-0)

(Preview)

Felipe Dalmazo is an extremely strong Greco Roman wrestler that utilizes a dirty boxing heavy style to smash opponents. Felipe has fought exclusively in small time QFC cards, and seems to be ready to make his debut in the bigger shows.

 

Justin Sane is a heavy handed brawler; much like his opponent, he has fought exclusively in the QFC leading up to this match.

 

 

http://i.imgur.com/vt86LRH.jpg

(Welterweight Division) Kona Bud (4-1) versus Luna Ploy (6-2)

(Preview)

Kona Bud is a technical kick boxer with incredible knockout power. After fighting twice for Island FC, Kona has fought exclusively in QFC shows, stopping three consecutive opponents. This will Kona's official return to the big shows, where he hasn't fought in over two months.

 

Luna Ploy is a former amateur boxer that has made a name for himself in mixed martial arts fights. After narrowly winning his MMA debut, Luna dominated two opponents: one in the QFC and one in his Highland Island debut.

 

Luna went on a four fight winning streak before falling victim to a first round stoppage against top contender Rogueo Boss. Luna has won two of his last four matches within Highland Island.

 

 

http://i.imgur.com/nDoQDOC.jpg

(Lightweight Division) Prince Idowu (3-1) versus Royal Pain (5-1)

(Preview)

Prince Idowu claims that he arrived on The Island via personal boat, but I have yet to confirm this independently. Island officials deny that it's that easy, but fans of Idowu swear by the story. Prince Idowu is a four time veteran of the QFC arena, where he has used a ground and pound style to smash opponents- although he is a capable brawler as well, when he wishes to use such a style. His lone defeat came via submission against a strong Jiu-Jitsu player.

 

Speaking of strong Jiu-Jitsu players, Royal Pain is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt and submission specialist. Making his debut at Highland Island 19, Royal quickly submitted Pat Ocon via first round armbar. From then on, Royal Pain made a name for himself as a regular combatant in the Highland Island promotion, submitting every man that he faced, save for Chest Rockwell, who managed to hurt him with strikes and force a stoppage midway through the opening round.

 

 

http://i.imgur.com/vuV5SW6.jpg

 

(Super-heavyweight Division) Rudy Mar Binay (6-2) versus Kyle Harris (0-3)

(Preview)

Rudy Mar Binay is a catch wrestler that has adapted his ground arsenal to include Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu; he holds a purple belt in the art.

 

Rudy made his professional debut at BAMF Island 1, submitting Jasper Pulis with a first round kimura. Rudy immediately signed an exclusive contract with Island FC, submitting Sid Vicious and Piripi Tama in his opening two bouts with the promotion.

 

Rudy next challenged Afonso Cabral for the super-heavyweight crown; Binay would take it to the undefeated eight fight veteran of the sport and reigning champion in this bout. Binay took Cabral down almost immediately, and cranked on the kimura until Cabral tapped to save his limb.

 

Rudy defended his title when he submitted Test Rage at Island Fights 2, but was defeated in his third defense, which was a rematcu with former champion Afonso Cabral. An immediate rubber match was called, with Binay once again submitting the champion; this time, he caught Afonso with a thirty-seven second kneebar to reclaim the title.

 

In his most recent bout, Rudy Mar Binay once again lost his title when he was stopped by Brutus Beefcake.

 

Kyle Harris is a low rank brawler that just loves to fight. He has fought three times in mixed martial arts; once in the QFC, and twice for Highland Island, but has failed to secure a modicum of success in any of his attempts.

[Main Card]

 

 

http://i.imgur.com/me2sfYX.jpg

 

(Lightweight Division, Championship bout) Nate Gonzalez (6-0) versus Richard Machan (3-0)

(Preview)

Nate Gonzalez is a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and veteran of the Highland Island promotion. Having made an early name for himself as a submission artist in his early QFC fights, Gonzalez quickly became a fan favorite due to his aggressive style of grappling. Rarely letting opponents rest, Gonzalez has submitted every man that he has fought in the cage; only one has escaped the opening five minutes of the fight, and he fell early in the second round.

 

Richard Machan is a three fight veteran of the Island FC promotion; this former collegiate wrestler hasn't actually competed since the original closure of Island FC, preferring to instead keep his body fresh and healthy.

 

It would appear that this decision has paid off, as he will come into this fight with a sizeable advantage due to his wrestling expertise.

http://i.imgur.com/76AA2n8.jpg

(Bantamweight Division, Championship bout) Issumatar Tariaksuq (7-1) versus Walton Kunz (8-3)

(Preview)

Issumatar Tariaksuq is a technical Muay Thai striker that utilizes an explicitly kick-heavy style of fighting, although he is capable of fighting in the clinch as well.

 

Issumatar started his career in the QFC, out pointing Dirt McGirt before signing with Island FC. Although he won in his promotional debut, he was submitted by Just Islander- the only loss of his professional career.

 

Issumatar fought three more times for Island FC, smashing his way through the competition, before winning a pair of fights in Highland Island.

 

Walton Kunz is a strong Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt with a high level of striking to support him on the feet. As a regular competitor in the QFC, Walton never had trouble with staying active; he competed six times in the QFC arena, five of those happened within one month.

 

In his Island FC debut, Walton challenged a man with a name that makes my blue jeans tight, aka Miesha Tate, for the bantamweight title. Tate would end the fight via first round arm triangle choke and Kunz would lose his very next bout to Tobias Marshall as well.

 

Walton Kunz rebounded with back-to-back submission victories, including an ironic armbar over Miesha Tate in a non-title rematch.

 

Most recently, Kunz stopped Eduardo Cedeno via third round TKO.

(Middleweight Division, Championship bout) Carlos Newton (8-2) versus Don Julio Cesar Chavez (5-2)

(Preview)

Carlos Newton is a talented Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt that has submitted eight of the ten men that he has faced as a professional mixed martial artist. Carlos started his MMA career in the QFC arena, fighting twice in the smaller shows, with an appearance at BAMF Island 3 in the middle. Carlos signed with Island FC, taking his winning streak to five consecutive victories before submitting Rick James to claim the middleweight championship.

Carlos defended his title in a rematch against James, but fell victim to an eighteen second knockout at the hand of Gleb Zheglov. In a bid to return to contendership, Carlos faced top contender Jonny Bones Junior, but fell via knockout in thirty seconds this time.

 

Most recently, Carlos Newton choked out Andy Fitzgerald to return to winning ways.

 

Don Julio Cesar Chavez is a well rounded mixed martial artist that utilizes a heavy brawling style on the feet, as well as a submission game on the ground. Chavez reportedly draws inspiration from the stlyes of Nick and Nate Diaz, whom he tries to emulate with every fight.

 

Don started fighting in the QFC, dispatching Reyanne Ignacio and Mandy Rigma before signing with Highland Island; in his promotional debut, Don submitted Niall Daly. For his next trick, Don caught Muay Thai sensation Tangaroa Ngata with a thirty-one second armbar, winning himself Submission of the Night honors.

 

Don would suffer the first loss of his professional career when he was stopped due to strikes at the hands of Stephen Lesley, but would immediately rebound with a first round submission of Ronny Hilfiger.

 

Most recently, Don was stopped by Andy Fitzgerald, aka the last man to be defeated by Carlos Newton.

(Welterweight Division) Peter Potter (7-1) versus Richard Richards III (5-4)

(Preview)

Pretty” Peter Potter is a long running veteran of Island FC, having fought all eight of his professional fights within their cage. This hall of famer utilizes a strong Greco Roman strategy to smash opponents, although he is capable of knocking guys out with his boxing as well.

 

Peter made short work of his early opponents, quickly accumulating four consecutive victories, three of which came by early stoppage, before facing fellow undefeated standout Tweedle Dum for the welterweight championship. The fight would be as close as they come, with Dum actually out boxing Peter on the feet; however, in the clinch, Peter was landing the harder shots. In the second round, a badly bleeding Tweedle Dum fell before the unrelenting pace of Peter Potter, who finished him with strikes against the cage to become the new champion.

 

Peter Potter defended his title against Jesse Enkamp, forcing an early stoppage due to strikes. In his third defense attempt, Peter was taken down and caught in an early armbar submission against Andrey Lobtov, but Peter quickly defeated him in the immediate rematch to reclaim the Island FC championship.

 

Richard Richards III is an iron willed collegiate wrestler from the UK, most known for the tremendous amount of power that he can produce when he is striking an opponent from the top position. In addition to being a strong wrestler, Richards is a talented submission fighter as well; he holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which he has used to submit one opponent thus far in his MMA career.

 

Richard has fought almost exclusively for Highland Island, taking only one fight away from the promotion to compete within the QFC arena. Richard is a four time Fight of the Night award winner, with historical fights against Juno August, Tommy Kygo, Paul Hewitt, and most recently: Issumatar Tariaksuq.

(Welterweight Division, Championship bout) Jake Belcher (8-2) versus Hop Sing Jung (10-3)

(Preview)

Jake Belcher, also known as “The Talent”, is a former NJCAA Collegiate Wrestling champion and Jiu-Jitsu purple belt. This two-time Island champion started his MMA tenure in the QFC arena, beating Old Man (not AN old man) in the opening round.

 

After signing with Island FC, Jake defeated Red Stork to earn his shot at the inaugural Island FC welterweight championship. His opponent would be fellow 2-0 wrestling standout Aleksei Ponomarenko. Despite having a similar back story leading them into this match, Jake Belcher showed little remose after he brutally pounded out the stubborn Ponomarenko to claim the championship. In his first title defense attempt, Belcher would dive into the guard of Jiu-Jitsu brown belt Jeff Probst, who would in turn lose the title in his first defense attempt as well.

 

Jake continued his career by battering out three top contenders in: DJ Jordan (twice), Jerry Johnson, and Lucio Gracie; the latter of which earned him a knockout of the night bonus.

 

Following the untimely demise of the Island FC promotion, Jake signed with Highland Island, smashing the new H.C. Welterweight Champion, Jon Parlow in under two minutes. Jake attempted to defend his title against Tapio Sammalkorpi, but was defeated via unanimous decision.

 

Hop Sing Jung is a powerful grappler in his own right, having competed in both Judo and Freestyle wrestling before making the transition into professional mixed martial arts. This Island FC hall of inductee started his MMA career in the QFC, defeating four consecutive opponents in short order.

 

Hop Sing Jung was signed to a championship contract based on the strength of his QFC performances, and was booked to fight the reigning Island FC featherweight champion: Alpha Gamma. Hop Jung would do what he does best: he tripped Gamma to the canvas and slapped on a fight-ending armbar with seconds remaining in the opening round. As a freshly minted champion of The Island, Jung had a big target painted across his back, as a division of hungry contenders clamored to get a chance to face him.

 

Hop Sing Jung defended his title two events after winning in, choking Alexander Vermeer to sleep early in the opening round. Hop then defended the belt against 5-0 Ivan Maksim two times to solidify his hold on the gold. For his fourth title defense, Jung was booked to a rematch against Alexander Vermeer, and the reason that I despise rematches became quickly apparent: Vermeer stopped Jung with strikes early in the opening round, contrasting the early submission finish that Jung had delivered upon Vermeer in an earlier meeting.

 

The trilogy fight was booked for the very next event, with Vermeer once again knocking Jung unconscious; this time to retain the title. In his final fight with Island FC, Jung caught Asato Mikio with a third round triangle choke, earning his second fight of the night honor.

 

Following his Island FC career, Hop Sing Jung signed with Highland Island; after submitting Kieta Vivian with a triangle choke, Jung was caught in an armbar from brown belt submission ace Kingsley Babajide.
