GAMMA #533 Utu v Bateman REVIEW

Global Association of MMA, Fight Organization, London
Company profile by Mentor Guru Corleone

“The Worlds Most Dangerous” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (19-11, 6-5 GAMMA) [Legion of Doom] VS. Russian “The Undead” Zombie (15-6, 6-2 GAMMA) [Qlimax] Featherweight (145)

Longtime L.O.D. manager GSP’s Illegitimate Son sent one of his top combatants to the cage to start off this main card tonight, as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi took on Bobby Heyman’s Zombie. Both of these men are finishers, and it seemed the likeliest scenario that one of them would end up finishing the other before the end of the match. Nobody would have guessed that this one wouldn’t even last a minute, as “The Undead” came straight out of the gate throwing combos. It seemed as though al-Baghdadi was simply overwhelmed by the aggressiveness on display from his opponent, as a powerful right followed by a flurry of strikes on the ground and this one was over. A disappointing showing from a man who was not long ago a title contender; however, on the other hand, Zombie has catapulted up the rankings and we could see him standing opposite the champion soon!

RESULT: Zombie def. al-Baghdadi via T.K.O. (Strikes) in the 1st Round (0:26)

This was a very important date in MMA TYCOON, this was the date a certain manager by the name of Steel Penn (82165) joined the game,and he never looked back since.

Now , nearly 7 years latter and well over 1200 fights, this dinossour of MMA TYCOON ,has seen it all and done it all, but is not hes record and coquers(impressive never the less) that cativates people,is he's gentle and helpfull aproach to the game that sets him apart from most managers,He's by far the biggest donator to keep the game running smootly and he would probably deserve ,at least, a custumized trophy for hes contribution to MMA TYCOON..

IFC 12: Preview

Event Preview: ISLAND FC 12
ISLAND FC
2016-02-20, The Island, Hayashi's Lounge - The Island
Author:Justin Credible

 Aloha Tycooners, Justin Credible here bringing you yet another preview for Island FC. Tonight (and every other night afterwards) I’ll be previewing the Main Card ONLY, but giving my predictions on the whole card. Hopefully my writing is so good it acts as an incentive for people to break into the main card! Without any further ado…. Let’s go!

 

 

 Alpha Gamma v Vito Blaze starts our main card off! This is a bit of a head scratcher in terms of match making, but I’ve just grown accustomed to seeing weird fight match-ups here at IFC that they’re becoming quite normal, plus they’re paying me pretty well, so…. Moving on.

Vito Blaze is a rising star here on The Island and many believe he might emerge as the best fighter on The Island this season, which is very high praise because it is a dog fight here! He boasts a wonderful boxing background and some very explosive power. Will he be taking on someone with too much skill and experience in only his second IFC fight? Only time will tell, bu

United States Fighting Championship

Author:Mister Victorio


Hey yo what up everybody! It's been a while since my last show up. Yeah I got lazy around those days. Anyway I am back and bringing a heating preview of USFC's 100th event on 21st Feb in Liberty Dome, New York! Due to a problem of my phone, I will only do the preview of last five fights. And this is the first five fights in the card.

HW bout: Zod Wettin vs Lock Bresnar
LW bout: Dominic Tattum vs Victor Stoic
MW bout: Reggie Young vs Rashad Wilkinson
LHW bout: Thaddeus Proctor vs Thomas Campion
LHW bout: Matti Laukanen vs Maxx Elorde

Now, let's get right into the preview folks!

LW bout: Maxim Taisumov vs Sigurd Ragnarsson

This fight is an interesting one. The red corner is Maxim Taisumov who has world class boxing, high level wrestling and BJJ purple belt. He has KO power with his hands and always looking to put his punches together and finish his opponents with combinations. Sometimes he would show off his ground game with his guard pulling tactic in the clinch and tapping his opponents out. While he is loves combos and bottom game, his opponent Sigurd Ragnarsson loves single shots and top game. Ragnarsson is a decent striker with world class wrestling and BJJ brown belt. He is a very aggressive submission wrestler with accurate takedowns and deadly submission game. His striking
