Claymore Elite Combat

Epic, detailed write-up!

[Monsieur.Camara]

Anyone up for making a poster please pretty please ?

 

It don`t even have to be about the fighters, we can make it about CEC. I think a brotha doing harakiri would be appropriate.

 

My mentor Grumpy and his star student (that would be me) will make sure to honour the CEC legacy and put on a show for the ages. It is only appropriate that 2 of the few REAL friends of Chucky send his beloved org into the next chapter.

Best write-up perhaps ever! Nicely done Alfred.

LOL that co-main is kinda racist lol

 

Some black on black crime between Coke head and Blast. Looks like one sold bad coke to the other and they gonna fight it out on the mean streets of Baltimore.

That was an outstanding writeup great work!!! We so need that more in the game!!

It’s also St. Georges’ second fight against Kimbo, this is a rematch, should be noted.

Aha. So it is. End of 2018. First round KO win for Kimbo.

 

Shame I missed that. Would have added something to their fight preview.

CEC 697

 

 

October 24, 2020

 

 

Live from The H20 Arena in London, England, it’s CEC 697. Brought to you by the lovely people at Arcticus University: London, where you can put more back into your teams. Be sure to visit Arcticus for all your merchandise need and tell them we sent you.

 

 

Fast off the heels of two very successful events, Claymore Elite Combat is officially resurrected, and looks to continue their global rise with another Elite event. We watched CEC reopen its doors at New Era, crowning its first 135 champion in months. CEC 696 was equally successful with two new champions being crowned.

 

Undercard

 

Hooper vs Peterson - Opening up the night in the 170 division, Troy Super Dooper steps into the cage against Dylan Peterson. Hooper opened CEC’s New Era with a majority decision win over Dick Diaz, a very underwhelming performance against an inferior opponent that left his corner wiping their collective brows. It was a close call, he survived a very near late third round knockout, but he DID survive and that’s all that matters in the end. A stand-up fighter and older than the mountains of his home State of Queensland, he’ll look to continue his success against Dylan Peterson. Peterson was unceremoniously dumped by his manager last month, but he’s too good to remain unwanted for long. Signed by current manager Pika Choo, Peterson, his background is in wrestling and he’d prefer to take his opponent to the ground where he can finish him off. At 11-4, he’s ranked fifth in the 170 rankings and wants to put his two-loss streak behind him.

 

Steel vs Boss – Gunnar Pleyaa liked enough of what he saw in Jerome Steel to sign him to a contract. He enters his first CEC 265 division fight as the underdog, but his hands of steel are sneaky and dangerous and he’s capable of one-punching an end to any fight as his 93% knockout percentage shows. The Steel City’s opponent is Like A Boss, the #2 ranked heavyweight, who has his own equally success knockout percentage (88%). It’s not hard to see how this one will be decided, but it’s anyone’s guess who will be delivering the knockout.

 

Nilsen vs McDiggle – Two fighters near the bottom of the 205 division, it’s Yacob Nilsen squaring off against Buster McDiggle. Nilsen has the better record, but his morale is at an all-time new low. Being released by two managers in a month will do that to a fella. Corwin Antsey liked what he saw and will look like a genius if Nilsen puts his poor 2020 behind him. Buster McDiggle, The Sioux City Strangler, turned 35 this week and has never walked the line, despite what his entrance music will have you believe. Inactive since June, he has a history of being susceptible to cuts and we believe he took the time off to heal himself at The Yellow Lotus.

Bosch vs Scaletta – Back to the 170 division, it’s "The German Sargent" Heribert Bosch taking on Vito "Gangster" Scaletta. A multiple time champion, OFC legend, and former #1 ranked fighter in his weight class, Bosch’s best days may be behind him, but lord what days they were. He opened CEC New Era with a close split decision to #2 ranked Oliver Hedman Karlsson. It may have cost him a shot at the 170 title, but it was a close enough fight to keep him right in the hunt. Scaletta is slipping and needs to get back on-track as soon as possible. Multiple manager changes haven’t changed the outcomes and he comes into this fight on a 6-fight losing streak. The native of San Martino is ready and needs to bring his best to the cage.

 

Cooke vs Draven – The 155 pound division may be small with only six fighters signed, but that means there is a lot of opportunity for fighters like Samuel "No Gods, No Masters" Cooke to rise the top. With a .500 record and loser of four straight, Cooke needs to regain the form that made him EFA champion. He lost his opening CEC match against DeMario Valdez, losing focus in the third round after a dominant middle round. Eric Draven hasn’t been in an MMA cage in almost a year and was unemployed for much of 2020 until manager Lyle Humphreys picked him up, moved him to London, and told him to get to work. Draven prefers to stand and brawl and he’ll be looking to keep Cooke on his feet to gain the win.

 

Diaz vs Baldwin – The third and final 170 match of the night, Dick "The Stockton Slapper" Diaz looks to avenge his New Era loss against Troy Hooper. It was a close majority loss, and for a moment in the third round, Diaz looked assured of a win after he rocked Hooper with a hard shot. It was a great fight from start to finish, indicative of Diaz’s throw ‘em down style. Which is great for CEC fans because his opponent, Brandon "The Bastard" Baldwin, is an all-or-nothing fighter. 10 wins, all by KO; 11 losses, 10 by KO. New manager, Lyles Humphreys, has been trying to get him to work on his defense leading up to this fight, but the man from the suburb’s of Glasgow said “best defense is a superior offense”. This has fight of the night written all over it.

 

Glass vs McCockiner – We get our first look at the 185 division when "Super Fast" Desmond Glass steps into the cage against Barry McCockiner. How fast is Glass? He bobbed and weaved his way to a second round knockout at New Era, a fight he was able to keep off the ground after a frustrating first round. A member of CEC’s vaunted Hall of Fame, former #1 ranked PVP in the world, not enough can be said about Glass’s accolades, but he can’t rest on his laurels in this one. McCockiner may not have the experience or the trophy case to show off, but he was picked up by an experienced manager who will help him reach his potential. He had Donald Trump in trouble at New Era until an elbow busted up his forehead. It was downhill from there and he took his first loss in CEC. He’ll look to bounce back and impress in a big way.

 

Orlov vs Fu Tu - #2 against #4, a great way to highlight the 145 division. "The Boyar Bully" Boris Orlov cut #1 ranked Finnish Experiment at New Era, but it was too little too late as he was outclassed and ended up on the wrong side of a vicious head kick. He’s been on a little bit of a slide since leaving Catch Wrestling, but the talent and heart are clearly there. Shi Fu Tu spent nearly two years in CEC, won the 145 title, and is back to cement his name in the annals of CEC history. He’s getting a bit long in the teeth, but is in great shape and will work his opponent around the ring if an easy knockout doesn’t show itself.

 

 

Main Event

 

Nicholas vs McGuire - #1 ranked 205 pounder in CEC and SynCity hall of famer, Harold Nicholas is still as good looking a man as the day he quit modelling. He won his opening CEC match at New Era against Fedor Shabanov, cutting him in the early seconds of their fight and eventually knocking him out a minute into the second round. Shabanov was dumped shortly thereafter. James McGuire is a different sort of an animal, deadly accurate and extremely powerful. He comes over from Synchronicity, winning his last two bouts via knockout and will hope his concrete fists carry him to the next level.

 

MacNamara vs Tuft – New bantamweight champion, "The Gypsy Prince" Seamus MacNamara headlined CEC New Era and will do so again at CEC 697. MacNamara dominated the five-round title fight, winning on all cards despite being cut early. His ground defensive skills frustrated Neckbreaker all night long and he was never in any real trouble. It was an impressive win, one that made all contenders take notice. #1 contender Gunnar "Outlaw" Tuft won’t look to take to the ground, but that could be a bad thing. He backed out of his retirement talk and will look to bang MacNamara around with his world class boxing skills. Fast, smart, and tough, he works his opponents over and will knock anybody out once he finds the weakness … which he usually does.
