KC's Corner: Top 5 (Retired) Hall of Famers Pt. 2

Editorial by Kc Cooper

Hey all Tycoon fans, KC Cooper here (Deuce7 to those of you that read the forums). I'm back and I am taking a look at who I consider to be the Top 5 Retired Hall of Famers in Tycoon History. This will be a five part series in which I profile some of the greatest fighters we have ever seen. Two pieces of criteria for the articles is the fighter cannot have fought in the past 6 months or longer and must be in the Tycoon Hall of Fame. In this episode....................

170 lb match up

Carlos Sabando (0-2) vs Gaspard Wasp (1-1)

Sabando has been violently KO in his last 2 fights so he’s gonna try to turn that around when he takes on young boxer Wasp. Wasp lost his debut fight but bounce backed with a beat down of his 2nd opponent. Both men have Granite chins, and like to stand and bang so this could be a good ol’ violent fight to start the night off right.

170lb match up

Psycho Vaughan (0-1) vs Rick Thomas (0-1)

Both men are gonna be looking to get their first win in this fight having lost their first fight by submission. Thomas has some crazy red hair and his opponents name is Psycho so this has potential to be pretty violent!

265 lb+ match up

Texas Pete (0-0) vs Bryan Cranston (0-1)

Pete is a “stand up” kinda guy, I’m pretty sure he will be looking to take his opponents head off his shoulders.

The legend of Ryu"Usami" Musashi

Fighter profile of Ryu Musashi by Bjorn O'Donnel

Ryu "Usami" Musashi (246815)

Once upon a time there was a family so rich, that they had as much money themselves as the rest of Japan had together.
The head of the family was called Raiko Musashi and was known under the name of The Green Dragon in the world. He was the most searched after man in the history of Interpol. Raiko was believed to have killed 87 persons himself and ordered the assassinations of over 300 others. The only problem was that there was no evidence and not a single human being was found that dared testifying against him. He was easily the most brutal killer to have ever set foot on this earth. He

Preview & Interview of Brett Simmons vs Steve Cox

Fighter profile of Brett Simmons by Mystic Mac

Preview: Hostilty 30 Preview: Brett "The Little Pimp" Simmons vs Steve "Bam Bam" Cox !! Bantamweight TITLE ON THE LINE!

Two of the best rising stars in mma tycoon ,Brett Simmons and Steve Cox will be in a epic battle for the Bantamweight championship on Oct. the 18th at Hostility 30. Brett Simmons comes to the fight with a record of 7-2 and a five fight win streak. Simmons is a monster on the ground and has seemed to be unstoppable lately...he is a terrific wrestler and a brown belt in bjj. His five fight win streak is something to be reckoned with because all 5 wins were first round submissions and lets not forget his has elite wrestling skills with ground and pound. Pretty simple, Simmons takes you to the ground, beat you down with strikes, and finishes you with a submission...He almost makes it look easy. He will most likely try to get Cox to the ground and finish him there.. Simmons weakness is his standup, he only has good enough boxing and muay thai to just help set up his takedowns and defend himself from getting hit..nothing to spectacular on the feet.

Steve Cox is closley similar in stats but he does have slightly better standup.

Cox loves to control his oppenents and fight for the decision which

 Barney Gumble (3-0) Vs Eddie Kilpatrick (2-2) - Heavyweight

After an impressive debut in the Highland Games 1 main event, Barney Gumble extended his professional record to a perfect 4-0 with a stoppage victory over Eddie Kilpatrick.

In this fight, you really have to wonder what Eddie Kilpatrick was thinking. This was his opportunity to upset the masses and prove himself to be a legitimate top contender in the company. Instead, Kilpatrick went for the clinch, against what can only be considered a clinch-master in Gumble.

Perhaps this was an original strategy, who knows, but the fight played out exactly how you’d expect. Gumble punished Kilpatrick with his expert dirty boxing until the referee felt he’d had enough. The Irishman did show his toughness, and was in good humour following the fight in proclaiming that he was off for a pint of the black stuff.

Eddie Kilpatrick will now take on Alexey Juravlev at Highland Games 7. Alexey is 1-1 in his professional career and recently took a loss to Christian Long at Highland Gam

One of the great things about MMA clothes is that when you wear them, you are doing your part to raise awareness of one of the purest sports in the world. Unlike team sports, where the athletes have to rely on one another (and a teammate can pick up the slack of somebody who is not pulling his weight), with mixed martial arts the people fighting have nobody to depend upon aside from themselves. When a fighter wins a match, he does not have to share the glory. Likewise, when a fighter loses, he has nobody other than himself to blame.

VIRAL-COMBAT is brand based in Hilo and for us one of the great things about designing MMA clothes is to see our clothing on the fighters of the MMA Tycoon universe . VIRAL-COMBAT is only 17 weeks old and already one of the hottest brands of 2014.

After only two weeks of being open, Viral Hit the top ten and has not looked back. Viral thanks all fighters for wearing our clothes.

 Jake Theodorou (3-0) Vs Joel Nicola (3-0) – Light Heavyweight

This is a fight with very real title implications. It’s definite that the winner of this fight will compete for the inaugural Highland Games Light Heavyweight Title. The opponent thus far is unconfirmed, but one of these guys will absolutely be competing for the strap in their next fight.

Starting with Jake, there are few fighters out there who can be as predictable and as unstoppable. We all know what Jake wants to do. He’s going to go in there, try and put you on your back, and pound you into submission. Sounds easy to counter right? Then how come every single opponent he’s had has been stopped in the first round? He’s done it to strikers, he’s done it to grapplers. He’s done it at Middleweight, he’s done it at Light Heavyweight. Will he do it again? It’s very easy to imagine that he does.

Standing in the way of that is Joel Nicola. When you talk about explosive fighters, you don’

Heavyweight Championship

(Champ) Vincent Mars vs. (1.) Marcus Dantes

The biggest event in history of Destiny FC will take place this saturday at Shinjuku Indoor Arena, Tokyo. The main event is fight between Mars and Dantes, the two most hyped fighters in Destiny FC roster. Vincent Mars is 2-time DFC heavyweight champion with 5 title defences and one of the most famous stars in DFC, so all the DFC fans are familiar with him, but his opponent Marcus Dantes has just one DFC fight. Regardless of that Dantes has huge hype train behind him and in international MMA world Dantes is more hyped than Mars.

Vincent Mars is coming from the title fight against Jack Hollow where he reclaimed the title he lost to Hollow at Destiny 60. Mars got caught early on guillotine in that fight but in immediate rematch at Destiny 65, Mars knocked him out in 86 seconds. The trilogy with Hollow is now the past and even greater challenge is in front of him.

We were able to get few words from Mars in prefight press:

"Dantes has been a top heavyweight for a long time
