So let’s take a closer look at each of the 10 bouts:


Ron Kelly v Sam Grumpky

We kick things off with a light-heavyweight bout, where two young fighters will be hoping to get their first SOTF win. After loosing his promotional debut in a bout that earned him the ‘’fight of the night’’ bonus at SOTF 4, 22 year old respectable boxer Ron Kelly is hoping to bounce back and prove that he is more than just an entertaining brawler. Meanwhile, 25 year old competent boxer and Muay Thai fighter Sam Grumpky is making his SOTF debut and is searching for his first career victory. This could be anyone’s fight on the feet, but Kelly could decide to take the fight

Ascension Birthday Bash – 22 Sep

To all the MMA fans out there, I bring to you today the preview of yet another big event in Ascension which features a battle for the 265 lbs belt and some other great fights as well.. What makes this so much more special is the fact that it’s the birthday event of our beloved Org owner, Mr. Dean Sutherland.. Happy Birthday Boss.. I am betting that the fighters will give it all for Mr. Sutherland. Lets take a look at the top five matches for the day.

Victor Creed v/s Sebastian Bantrell (265 lbs title)

Bantrell is going to get another chance at the 265 title against Victor Creed after he failed to show up the last time.. Victor Creed looks like he is in the best form of his career.. He has 8 victories in a row to boast of, and he has already twice defended his title, that too in tremendous style by knocking out both his opponents.. In fact, a whopping 94% of his 16 victories have come via knock outs.. Bantrell isn’t exactly going to be a piece of cake, with 20 KO victories of his own, but he will have to have an extraordinary night, showcase the best fight of his career if he is to beat Creed and win the title..if he manages to show up at the right place this time that is

Kaspars "The Big Dogger" Daugavins vs Billy Beauj

Big Dogger enters this fight with Excellent Boxing and a strong Boxing Background. He also has some decent ground game! Billy Beauj enters the octagon with similarly strong Boxing, and a well rounded game-plan that could easily stifle and over-take Kaspars. The BELL RINGS! Beauj's entrance to Metallica has certainly JACKED the Crowd right up! Beauj shoots for a takedown and is stuffed! He dodges a few strikes from Dogger! Dogger lands a Jab and Beauj takes a step back and acknowledges. Dogger with a Hard body shot! Both fighers circling! Dogger checks a leg kick! Beauj lands a left and a right! Good Combo! Beauj presses inwards but Dogger feeds him a Jab and circles away again! Another Cross from Dogger! Beauj backs out. ONLY to shoot in again! It is stuffed and we sit at a stalemate! Though not very Stale at all! Both fighters pushing here! Beauj shoots and is stuffed again! That has gotta cost him some energy! Dogger lands a clean staight right! CLINCH! Beauj breaks the clinch! and shoots and sprawls with Dogger again, but no luck here today! Jab! Jab! They exchange 'pleasantries' . . . Another from Dogger, but Beauj ducks it! WHAMMY! Beauj sinks his Shin into Dogger's Torso, that looked vicious and non-delicious! Dogger counters with a body shot of his own! Dogger gets

Author:Tycoon Judas

Torment MMA-LA one of Los Angeles premier fight organizations is set to host another spectactular card. The Hard Knocks arena is sure to be jammed packed with fight fans as we will see the Vacant welterweight Championship on the line in the Main Event. On top of that we have the Bantamweight challenge Simi Finals on showcase. Them little rascals sure know how to put on a show and we got for of the best taking the cage this Saturday Night. Let's take a look at what is in store for the Main Card.

FW Bout

Chanco "Johnny Boy" Smith (3-2-0) Vs. Alex Silva (3-0-0)

We will be starting the show off in the Featherweight division in a bout that may go down to the last bell. Chancho is coming to LA from his base in Hilo looking for some destruction, he notched his first win here with Torment MMA in his last outing. "Johnny boy" is a very determind fighter that does not seem to give up, as he had one hell of a brawl with Incan bulb which earned him "Fight of the Night" back in July. Silva on the other hand has yet to taste defeat in his young career with a 3-0 record. He made his debut here against Trevor simpson whom he dismantled in just 16 seconds. These two match-up very well with one another and they both seem to have a knack for putting on great fights which is a awesome way to kick things off.

WW Bout

"The Wolf" Damian Miller (3-1-0) Vs. "Mayhem" Mike Lewis (5-3-0)

Aaaaahhhhhooooo thats right "The Wolf" Damian Miller is back for another throwdown. Miller had a tough draw his first time up loosing to the events Co-Headliner White Sons, look for him to be out for blood this time around. Damian knows how to exacute a very good single-leg TD and once he gets his prey down look out for his well versed ground game including his specialty the Kimura which he finished all his wins with. "Mayhem" is another guy who has been unlucky in the cage here but that does not mean

It"s Fight Week!

Fight fans, it is fight week in the CFC! Don't forget to throw your bets down at the CFC Casino, available here: http://mmatycoon.com/bookmakerpublic.php?bid=7045

After more than 3.5 years of action in the Canadian Fighting Championship, the promotion forays into the brave new world of pay per views this weekend.  Boasting one of the most impressive cards top to bottom in the organization’s history, this proves to be a great event for CFC fans around the world. It hasn’t been easy. Some of the fights the promotion hoped to book didn’t come to fruition and some key fighters were not available due to injury and schedule issues.  But on Sunday, Owner Matt Mac is proud to present Untitled Project PPV.

The main event of the evening features one of the CFC’s recent marquee signings Michael Vronsky taking on Lazarus Jones who reportedly generously made his services available to be a part of this historic event. Vronsky is a truly elite grappler. He’s one of the top wrestlers in mixed martial arts today and has a strong jiu jitsu base. He’s cut from a similar mold of a Matt Hughes type fighter, a true ground and pound specialist with good enough boxing to generally keep him out of trouble. He’s never been stopped by strikes in his career. Facing him is Jones, another fighter with strong offensive and defensive wrestling skills. Jones undeniably has an edge on the feet where he’s had a lot of success. But if Vronsky can get him down and stay on top of him, there is a fight that could end poorly for Jones. Like so many MMA contests, this is one that will likely be dictated by who can determine where the fight is contested.

The co-main event features one of the CFC’s favoured sons and the 170 lbs champion, Antonio Montana. He’s been the
