HFC 32 - Red Eagle vs Slugs

Event Review

What a card, what an event, what a crowd of 7000 screaming MMA fans chanting on their favorite fighters. We had a title fight, we had a hype fight, we had a name change, a first ever back to back loss, superman punch, we had just about everything except for a submission victory. Oh wait! We did have a submission from strikes! Ouch, ref, he hits too hard, I quite!

Slugs def Red Eagle TKO (Strikes)

http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/24/24w28.jpg

This is a fight Blaze had wrong, all wrong. He called a first round KO by Red Eagle and instead Slugs reminded the world why he's a former champ and still on his mission. Within seconds of the bell, Slugs took the fight into the clinch and went to work. Red Eagle did a good job offensively in the clinch, landing 16 of 22 head punches, but was otherwise ineffective. Slugs was a knee and elbow wrecking crew in the clinch, however, and some blood welts later, Slugs put Red Eagle down in a heap of wreckage and handed him his first ever back to back loss.

Lavigne def Ragasatria KO (Punch)

http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/27/27w30.jpg

In our co-main event, another first round finish in an exciting title fight for the bantamweight title! Lavigne showed the world who he is and what he's about last time out, and he went strait to work on Ragasatria in this one to ensure he stayed on top.

Lavigne dominated the stand up landing 13 of 15 shots from range and holding Ragasatria to only 1 combo attempt. Ragasatria relied heavily on his boxing as he threw only one single body blow that wasn't part of a combo.

In just under two minutes, the champ put this fight to an end with a beautiful uppercut from hell that put Ragasatria to sleep.

And stiiilllllllll!!!!!!!

Mahrishi def J.F.W. KO (Punch)

http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15699834066508.jpg

In the final fight of our 205 championship round 1 participants, Mahrishi as the top seed was favored to advance, and the did not let us down.

J.F.W. was more aggressive from range, and more accurate, but was unable to take the fight to the ground and left himself open to some powerful counters from Mahrishi that ended this fight just seconds into the 2nd round. After the fight, Mahrishi called for a title shot, and well, he's already well on his way. A win next fight against Vandoren will give him exactly that!

Repine def Marley KO (Punch)

http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/41/41w33.jpg

Are you starting to see a theme here? We are already 4 fights into this review and already on our 4th KO! Our boys came to throw down tonight and did they ever!

Repine came out swinging and never looked back. He had Marley on the ropes from the first sound of the bell and completely neutralized Marley in the stand up game. Marley was unable to land a single strike, single clinch, and was put down in less than a single round. Dare I say that the champion form or Chad Repine is back? That was surely a championship quality performance, Repine will party hard and should be damned proud of himself!

Olsen def Rex Unanimous Decision (Fight of the Night)

http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/15/15w9.jpg

And who would have thought on a night full of knock outs, that a decision fight would end up our Fight of the Night! But this fight was the most exciting fight and the fans approval was also the highest of any fight on the card, so congratulations for the FotN honors!

Harry dominated this fight, and I mean dominated. a 27-30 victory doesn't even come close to the tale of this tape. Olsen was at about 75% accuracy from range, but absolutely dominated from the clinch. He landed 111 of 181 from the clinch.. I'm thinking that was just too much harry for the pussy melter to melt, and this was surely one stinky performance by pussy melter.. Okay, okay, no more harry pussy melter puns...

Barbosa def Corona TKO (Strikes)

http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/17/17w27.jpg

Barbosa is baaaacccckkkkk!!!! What a way to snap a four fight losing streak! Corona came into this fight the favorite to win, but Barbosa snapped out of his funk and said hellz no!

Barbosa was more disciplined this fight than we've seen him in a while, looking for the counter, not getting to careless, and it definitely paid off for him. I don't know if Corona took his opponent lightly due to the losing streak and new management, or if he just had a strategy that didn't pay off, but hats off to a beautiful victory by Daniel Barbosa to resurrect his career!

Lucroy def Ragnarsson Submission (Strikes)

http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15846399631991.gif

Man, I think I know why Harley isn't here with us tonight.. He'll say he was at the after party, but truth is he was so wrong on a couple of these fights that he knew I was going to give him s hit about his picks. This fight, for example, he had Ragnarsson winning via TKO, but in fact, Lucroy shocked the world and made Ragnarsson tap out because of strikes! Yes, he was getting hit too much in a fight and tapped out!! Maybe he should become a ref? What a crazy turn of events, excellent fight and great job by Lucroy of stepping up and showing up in a very big way!

Kona def Vanegas Unanimous Decision

http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15639778095610.png

Another fight making its way to the judges score cards, Kona and Vanegas were a runner up for FotN honors themselves. WIth an absolute slobber-knocker of a fight between these guys, the difference came in Kona's use of his kicks as well as his hands.

Both fighters did very well with their fists, Kona 36 of 83 and Vanegas 40 of 81, but Kona's 4 head kicks and 11 leg kicks won over the judges despite his 0 for 6 takedown attempts.

Vanegas made a good showing, but Kona won this fight decisively and is well deserving of the win. He should be making his way up the ladder, and I'm sure he's looking to string a few more of these victories together and work to the top.

Maki def Qiang KO (Superman Punch)

http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/35/35b12.jpg

Usually when I fight ending with a flashy Superman Punch happens, it is rewarded with a KO of the night. Unfortunately for Maki, he'll have to settle for runner up for that KO of the night due to the great KO on the fight just before this one.

Qiang has been around and everyone knows he's a very solid fighter who loves to strike. Maki decided he wanted to give Qiang a bit of his own medicine, and in under two minutes of the first round, a beauty of a superman punch dropped Qiang like a sack of rocks and put the HFC on alert of the striking power of this Maki kid.

Gunner def Rodgers KO (Head Kick) (KO of the Night)

http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15829421087012.jpg

Gunner's manager has been pushing for Gunner to be more recognized than he is. Around here at the HFC, your performance is everything, and tonight, I think Gunner got the hint. As the first round was dwindling down into the final 30 seconds, a crisp jab by Gunner caught Rodgers off guard and rocked him where Gunner followed up with a massive head kick putting Rodgers down like a rag doll! Everyone loves a good KO, but when it's a head kick like that that gets the arena roaring to open a night, that's what we call KO of the Night!

[Bleakardor]

I will have updated rankings by tomorrow.

 

This event was our best rating to date, and though it won't last long, we've moved up to #6 win the world. Thank you to all the managers who's fighters helped make that happen!

The champ will be stripped once he hits the 30 day inactive mark as to negate the penalty to the org. Slash is now under new management who just declined a fight as he's not sure rather or not he's going to keep him... some would call that a dodge, I don't know. I'll gladly put that fight on a card if I can get him to take it!

HFC 33 - Nickel vs Dos Anjos

Event Preview

http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1596163169HFC%2033.jpg

08 Aug 2020

New York Liberty Dome

Sponsor: Threads of HARDCORE

Main Card:

#1 Chip Nickel (8-2) vs #2 Ademaro Dos Anjos (9-1)

Main Event

Middleweight HFC Title Fight

Nickel: "The Scoop" has been nothing short of spectacular over his last five fights. Since his loss to Jason Carter, Chip has been on a tear with 5 strait KO victories, two of which earned him KO of the Night honors. His recent fight for the belt against Hefty Jack was his biggest fight of his life to date, and he shined brightest on the big stage, dethroning the champ and claiming his prize. Now, another huge fight will have him putting his belt on the line for the first time and he faces one of the most dangerous foes in the division.

Chip is fairly well rounded with superb boxing and exceptional MT, and still boasts remarkable MT and holds a blue belt. A five fight win streak, a championship belt, and bragging rights are on the line in this one for Chip, so he will need to dig every trick out of his arsenal of skills to ward off this deadly challenger.

Nickel will be managed by Billy Arseworth, representing The Stepdads alliance.

Dos Anjos: "O Guerreiro" has proven to be an absolute monster. The only loss of his career was by doctor stoppage to Wesley Clar back at Madness Fright Night 26. Dos Anjos was furious about the stoppage, but what could he do? Well, he has come back with a vengance, winning four strait since joining the HFC. He's taken out contenders Marley, Olsen, Jukola, and Wells and has earned himself, beyond the shadow of any doubt, a shot at that belt.

Dos Anjos brings wonderful boxing and exceptional MT to the table, but to the dismay of the champ, he's also boasting remarkable wrestling and holds a black belt. His skills along give him a slight edge over the champ standing, but the real advantage will be if this fight goes to the ground where his superior bjj training will make the difference.

Dos Anjos will be managed by Hei Long King, representing Convicted Inc alliance.

Blaze

"Man, this may sound crazy, but I have to say that our champ is the underdog here. We are going to see what hidden skills he has deep down inside, because it's going to take something that nobody sees to get this win. Both fighters have amazing skills and represent some of the best of the best when it comes to managers and alliances. "

Prediction: Aaaaannnndddd NNNEEEEEWWWWW!!!! Dos Anjos wins via submission (Kimura) round 2

#7 Wesley Taurus (8-4) vs #4 Dixon Ulster (10-5)

Co-Main Event

Welterweight Contenders Bout

Taurus: Taurus finds himself in a familiar spot, sitting in the top ten, a few wins from contendership, and having to bounce back from his last loss.. When Taurus went to SAFO, he started doing very well for himself, winning 3 of his 4 straight. His first fight in the HFC, however, he was upset by underdog RJ Cain which really set him back in the rankings. His last outing, Taurus bounced back in a big way with a TKO victory over Von Ryan. Now, he will be facing an even stronger opponent when he steps into the cage with Dixon Ulster.

Win this fight, and you're in the top five and a contender, lose, and you're outside of the top 10 looking in. A win here puts you back where you need to be, so don't choke this time! With the arsenal of skills that Taurus has, he should have no difficulties finding a way to finish this fight. It's just a matter of if he can find the right method before Ulster does.

Taurus has wonderful boxing, remarkable MT, and is a proficient wrestler. I don't think he even knows what bjj is... He's earned two KO of the Night awards, and if he pulls off a KO in this one, he might be in the running for KO or Fight otN again. Taurus will be managed by J.W. Hardman, representing Syndicate alliance.

Ulster: Ulster comes into this fight the more experienced fighter of the two, but with a more well rounded game than Taurus. While giving up the striking edge to Taurus, he has an advantage on the ground. A loss in his last outing to HFC legend Samuel Rodrigues, Ulster is pissed off and ready to bounce back into the win column.

Ulster has superb boxing and is proficient in MT, while a superb wrestler holding a purple belt. Ulster is managed by Al Van dal, and does not represent any alliance.

Blaze

"This is going to be a better fight than most give it credit for, bet that! Ulster is a damned good fighter and having the advantage in wrestling gives him the edge over Taurus in this fight. Taurus is a hell of a striker, but he's a horrible grappler. I hear he has improved his takedown defense, but how much is hard to say until we see it on display. If Taurus can keep this fight standing, he's going to KO Ulster. The hardest part of that prediction would be rather it's a punch or kick. But if Ulster gets this fight to the ground, Taurus will be staring down the barrel of a .45!"

Prediction: Taurus wins via KO (Punch) in round 1

#3 Hefty Jack (9-2) vs #12 Daniel Yonic (8-3)

Middleweight Bout

Jack: Hefty Jack quickly became a HFC fan favorite when he stepped into the HFC and won his first two fights earning a title shot against then champ, Rob Tanner. Tanner was the king at the time, and nobody gave Jack a shot. But went on to win, and defend his title against Madness Champ Jason Carter, seemingly derailing Carters career as he's not been heard from since. In his last outing, Jack lost his belt to Chip Nickel who headlines this card tonight in his first ever defense. Jack will be looking to win here to keep Yonic from trying to break into contender status and keeping Jack right there in the mix in the top 5.

Jack is not a very good striker, but is a wonderful wrestler and holds a purple belt. Jack has not fully recovered his morale from his title loss, which could effect this fight severely. He will be managed by Joey Delgato, who represents no alliance.

Yonic: Yonic, at least on paper, is a much better fighter than Jack. He is better trained and older than Jack, but until his recent win against Teteny, Yonic was on a three fight losing streak. Yonic was expected to contend upon joining HFC, but has been on the outside looking in, and a win here would finally solidify him as a top 10 fighter knocking on the door of the top 5.

Yonic has competent boxing and MT, which is more than can be said for Jack, as well as exceptional wrestling to go with his brown belt. Yonic will be managed by Davey Mack, representing Redemption Club alliance.

Blaze

"Why I keep getting myself into these kinds of predictions? Ok, clear cut favorite by skills along is Yonic. But Hefty jack was a champ, and has been one of the most difficult fighters to contend with his whole career. He doesn't have the training down on paper, but he finds ways to win. He should have been nick named "the underdog" because it seems like all of his fights have him as an underdog, but he keeps winning! Maybe it's management, maybe it's that special "it" factor that you hear about NFL QB's needing. Either way, it's really, really hard to pick against Hefty Jack. The thing that really boggles me in this fight is that both fighters come into this fight with lowered morale. Jacks morale is at an all time low, and I think that's going to make him vulnerable even though Yonic also has some morale issues."

Prediction: Yonic wins via submission (Armbar) in round 3

#9 Boxing Mcsparr (6-3) vs #8 Malcom King (5-1)

Welterweight Bout

Mcsparr: Mcsparr has 6 wins, and already has 3 of the Night awards. A rocky start to his career saw Mcsparr off to a 3-3 record before he turned things around having won his last three fights. Highlighted by his victory over Your Sweet Destruction, Mcsparr has established himself in the top 10 in the rankings and will be facing another top 10 in this one.

Mcsparr lives up to his name with his sensational boxing and strong MT while having superb wrestling skills and holding a purple belt. He will be accompanied ot the ring by Dr. John Zoidberg, you're wacky favorite alien comedian mad scientist clothing designer, representing Naughtly Crew with some fancy little dots over the A and the E.

King: King is starting to look like he belongs in the HFC, and in the top 10 at that. He's had some impressive wins over his three fight win streak since joining the HFC, most notably in his last fight against Bob Saget which earned him a jump into the top 10.

With remarkable boxing and exceptional MT, and being considered proficient in wrestling while holding a purple belt, King will most likely try to keep this fight standing and beat Mcsparr at his own game, but if it ends up on the ground he could find himself in a position to score the victory over Mcsparr. King will be accompanied by none other than Esiah Xavier, representing YABAI. Love em or hate em, they know how to win and you can't argue that.

Blaze

"I hate to have favorites, but I almost want King to win just because I want to hear the post fight comments he's sure to dish out. Xavier has a way of picking up talented guys and then teaching them the finer points of grammar... you know, so they sound good after whooping someones ass! I think King has the slight edge standing with his MT, even though Mcsparr has a significant boxing advantage here. These guys are pretty much evenly matched on the ground, so I'm going to predict a good old fashion "go to sleep, bitch!" moment."

Prediction: King wins via TKO (Strikes) in round 2

Undercards:

#4 Florisvaldo De Oliveira (5-2) vs #6 Rhondon Rousey (6-4)

Bantamweight Bout

De Oliveira: Coming off a loss against Ragasatria in a contenders match, De Oliveira is furious with his lost shot and will most certainly be out to turn this shit around right now and show that his previous loss was a fluke. Riding a four fight win streak up until that loss, De Oliveira found himself within striking distance of the gold. Now, he's having to ward off a challenger looking to work up the ladder just to stay in the top 5.

De Oliveira has a suspect standing game with respectable boxing but only mediocre MT, however he is a superb wrestler and a brown belt. Each and every one of his wins have come from submission and that's where he finds his edge over his opponent, Rousey. De Oliveira will be accompanied by Anti Kristus, representing FinnFighters alliance.

Rousey: Rousey comes into this fight on a two fight win streak, and his last loss was to now champion Gervais Lavigne. Despite a rocky start to his career, 4-4 until this win streak, Rousey is riding high and has found himself in the top 10 in rankings. If he can pull off the upset victory against De Oliveira, he'll be in the top 5 and within striking distance of his first chance at gold.

Rousey is not much of a boxer, but is an exceptional MT artist and a competent wrestler with a blue belt. He's not known for his ground game, but he's show the ability to put you on your ass when he squares up. Rousey will be accompanied by Luke Skyjabber, representing the Legion of Doom alliance.

Blaze

"Well, you can't deny that Rousey has the superior striking of the two, but his ground game just doesn't stack up to that of De Oliveira. So this turns into your classic striker vs grappler, and when you have a fight like this, you always have to look at experience. Fighter experience, manager experience, sometimes even alliance experience can make a difference in these fights. I know the usual LoD method of standing tall, keeping at range, and laying you out. And this fighter is built to do just that. But with his lack of wrestling skills, I can't help but think this fight will be going to the ground pretty quickly. And that's where I make my pick."

Prediction: De Oliveira wins via submission (Armbar) in round 1

#14 Yago Nascimento (5-1) vs #5 Joao Andrade (8-3-1)

Light Heavyweight Bout

Nascimento: Yago is a very skilled warrior who's coming off a very tough loss to JFW in his last fight at Independence Day. Under excellent management, there's little room for doubt in Yago's ability to bounce back in a big way against a contender. A win here against #5 ranked Andrade would be monumental to Yago's career and ranking. He would be vaulted into the top 10 and knocking on the door of the contenders, at the least.

With his wonderful wrestling, exceptional MT and remarkable wrestling to accompany his brown belt, Nascimento has a well rounded arsenal of skills and will have the ability to pick and choose where to attack. Despite being the underdog in the rankings, there's no underdog in Yago's mind going into this one. Yago will be accompanied by manager Action Jackson, representing YABAI alliance.

Andrade: Another extremely gifted warrior is Joao Andrade who comes into this fight with more experience in the cage and very solid skills set, if slightly less than that of Yago. This man had a monster career going for him at Madness until he was dethroned of his championship title by Mohammed Kahn. Under new management, Andrade took out Ragnarsson in a match that catapulted him up the rankings into the top 10, where he now sits at #5.

Joao has remarkable boxing and sensational MT, a striker through and through, but don't sleep on his remarkable wrestling and purple belt. He's got his holes on the ground, but this man can stand and bang with anyone, as is evident by his 7 KO victories. Andrade will be accompanied to the cage by Prince Mitchell, who represents The Stepdads alliance.

Blaze

"Joao does have some impressive skills to bring to the table, but I just don't think he's quite there yet. He's made it up into the top 5, which is remarkable and just goes to show how big that last figth was. He could do it again tonight and maybe I would believe in him a little more. On the flip side, I think Nascimento could win this fight on the ground, and probably pretty easily. The problem is, I've never seen him even try, he likes to stand and bang. And he's damned good at it, but Joao's MT could be the difference in a standing brawl. This fight really could go either way."

Prediction: Andrade wins via TKO (Strikes) round 3

#11 Maxim Jahouli (6-3) vs #15 Chris Travis (7-5)

Light Heavyweight Bout

Jahouli: Since joining HFC after a change in management, Jahouli has been impressive, and his climb in the rankings show it. He's not 2-0 in the HFC, ranked #11, and on the cusp of breaking into the top 10 with a victory here tonight over Travis. From what is reported out of Jahouli's camp, his training regime and facilities have been drastically improved under new management and it has made all the difference in the world. Credit was given to his new manager, Bwang Jong Sr.

Jahouli is an exceptional boxer, remarkable MT, and has exceptional wrestling while holding a purple belt. He will be looking to keep this fight standing and do what he has been doing of late, fighting smart, scoring points, and raising his hands in victory. Jahouli will be accompanied by manager, Bwang Jong Sr. who represents the YABAI alliance.

Travis: Chris is a very solid fighter who had a very good start to his career before he was derailed in a nearly career ending losing streak starting with his title loss against Carter. A win last month, however, has sparked new life into his camp and Travis finds himself with a shot at being at the cusp or cracking the top 10 if he can win again here tonight against Jahouli.

Travis is a wonderful boxer, sensational MT fighter, remarkable wrestler, and holds a purple belt. He has earned 3 "of the Night" awards to date and wouldn't mind another for this fight. Accompanied by none other than Step Daddy Squiiid, representing The Stepdads!

Blaze

"You know, this is shaping up to be a much better fight than I anticipated. We're getting down here towards the bottom of the undercard, and we're still talking about guys who are on the brink of the top 10! It's great to be a part of. I think this fight is all about the ability to maintain a streak, and kudos to Travis for pulling out of that nasty streak he had, but I don't think he starts a streak of his own. Jahouli is just too hot right now, and even though he gives up a very, and I mean very slight edge in the striking game, I think the momentum will carry Jahouli to victory.

Prediction: Jahouli wins via Unanimous Decision

#19 Basko Goodwin (3-3) vs #12 Juan De Souza (8-7)

Light Heavyweight Bout

Goodwin: Goodwin is 1-1 in his last two HFC fights under new management, and still is an "on the fence" fighter when it comes to his status in the world. He's ranked #19 just barely making the roster, and will face a top 15 fighter in De Souza which will give him a chance to increase his lot in life and move up the ladder to glory... or not.. that's really between him and De Souza.

Goodwin has wonderful boxing, exceptional MT, and wonderful wrestling while holding a brown belt. Impressively well rounded fighter who could go off at any time and put on a win streak and shoot up these rankings. He will be accompanied by manager Jose Aldo who represent Limitless alliance.

De Souza: De Souza comes into this fight ranked 12 in the rankings, but is a less skilled fighter than Goodwin. Riding a two fight win streak since joining HFC, he'll hope to find a spot in the top 10 with another victory over Goodwin.

De Souza is not much of a boxer, but is a exceptional MT striker who's also a respectable wrestler who holds a blue belt. He's able to match up with Goodwin in MT, but nowhere else. This will be a true test of guts and grit and see if he's got a little hidden something to shock Goodwin. De Souza will be accompanied by manager Johnathan Blades, who represents no alliance.

Blaze

"Sometimes, I just don't get these rankings. But that's what it's all about, that's why you have to fight the fight. You may be a better fighter, but if you're on a losing streak, you're gonna find yourself down at the bottom. So you have to bang your way back up to the top sometimes, and this fight is a perfect example of that. De Souza has been hot of late and finds himself in a favorable spot in the rankings. But that spot is something that Goodwin knows he can take, and he's out to take it. Unless De Souza shocks the world again, I think this fight will go to Goodwin who may finally start earning the respect he deserves around here."

Prediction: Goodwin wins via TKO (Strikes) in round 2

#11 Colton Northwood (2-2) vs #6 Kurt Wagner (4-2)

Featherweight Bout

Northwood: Colton is a grappler through and through. He's had an up and down career, and looking to put a few wins together here in the HFC to help him solidify that career and make a name for himself. He's well on his way with a win last outing in his HFC debut, but he'll have a better fighter before him in this one.

Northwood is a respectable boxer with not much MT to speak for, but shines on the ground with his sensational wrestling and black belt. He will be looking to get this fight to the ground and bend Wagner to his will, and there's no doubt he's got the skills to do it. Colton will be accompanied to the cage by Frank Abbott who represents FinnFighters alliance.

Wagner: Kurt has found himself knocking on the door of the top 5 contenders after a submission of the night victory in his last outing. He needs to make it two in a row to be within striking distance of the belt, and a loss here will send that status over to Northwood instead.

Wagner is a strong boxer and superb MT fighter, but he's focused his skills on his ground game and is a superb wrestler and holds a brown belt. He matches up on the ground in this bjj skills, but with his lack of wrestling in this match he will need to be calculated and take advantage of Northwood's mistakes. Wagner will be accompanied by manager Davey Mack, representing Redemption Club alliance.

Blaze

"When you start getting towards the bottom of the card, you can sometimes see some pretty crazy match ups. Take this one, for example. Northwood is possibly one of the best skilled grapplers in the entire HFC. He's at nearly expert level as a wrestler and jiu jitsu artist. And yet he's still the underdog to Wagner who only matches him in jiu jitsu. Northwood is the significantly better striker, but he's not a striker, and will still have to win this fight on the ground. I think I have to take the skill of Wagner in this one."

Prediction: Wagner wins via submission (Arm triangle) round 1

#7 Nati Pisswater (4-2) vs #10 Bilal Vinsson (4-3)

Featherweight Bout

Pisswater: Nati comes into this fight looking like a crop eared Michael Bisping, doesn't he? Well, lets see if he can scrap like him too. So far his career is off to a good start as he's riding a two fight win streak, and planning to make it his second here in the HFC. An impressive second round TKO victory at HFC Independence Day landed Nati in the top 10. In order to stay there, he'll need to handle business against Vinsson.

Nati is well rounded with wonderful boxing, exceptional MT, superb wrestling, and holds a purple belt. Winning all of his fights via TKO, bet your ass this man is looking to finish. He will be escorted to the cage by none other than his manager Hare Rumpler, founder of Sucker Punch, and highly regarded among his peers. He will be representing YABAI alliance.

Vinsson: Vinsson just snapped a three fight slide that really set him back in his contender aspirations. Maybe a chance of scenery was good for him, because in his HFC debut, he bounced back into the win column with a last second TKO victory over O Sullivan just before the bell ended round two. Landing in #10 in the rankings, this top 10 match up has a lot on the line for Vinsson as he looks to knock on the contenders door with a win.

Vinsson has superb boxing and strong MT, but his exceptional wrestling and brown belt are where he does his magic and what he'll need tonight against Nati. Vinsson will be accompanied to the cage by Billy Talent representing Redemption Club alliance.

Blaze

"Vinsson is an excellent grappler and Pisswater would be no match for him on the ground. The best he could hope for would to be able to control the fight until the end of the round, or a friendly ref stands you up. Nati will surely look to utilize his skill set to put an early end to this fight, taking a shot at that newly announced fast finish or first blood bonus. But if this fight goes to the ground, it's all over for Nati as Vinsson will put a quick end to his victim once the fight's in his domain."

Prediction: Pisswater wins via TKO (Strikes) in round 1

Nati Pisswater

"Just for the record, the judges were wack in this fight against Bentdicky! ( http://mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=1003392 ) I won that damned fight and only Trevor Gratis...a really great guy btw...got it friggin' right. But what do you expect when you put it in the hands of Douche and Prick! Anyway, if you get your head on straight and realize that I really won that fight...and my first fight was a friggin' QFC fight...it was a test fight for fuck's sake that I meant to lose...I'm really 5-0 right now. And I intend to make it 6-0 this weekend. Vaginitis is going down, hard!"

"Oh, and btw...Blaze, tell your partner to go stick a broom up his ass! Crop eared Michael...Michael could only wish to look this good! I'll crop your partner's fuckin' ears, that's for sure!"
