Author:

Hello everyone I am “Sunshine” Weston Markson along with my partner Rudy “The Box” Knife, were here in the Heroic studio to discuss Heroic 117.  Heroic 117 is the biggest event in Heroic history! For the first time Heroic will take it to the biggest stage of them all when they take over London’s Wombley Arena Friday. We expect in excess of 93,000 fans to attend the event and hundreds of thousands more to watch at home. 

Rudy:  OMG this is huge this event, this card, get excited because I think big things are coming,  its been announced that 27 of Heroic’s next 30 events will be held in this arena, so were looking to be a mainstay in this scene, but back to this card its huge, every fighter except for one on this card is ranked in the top 10 of their division and that one fighter is the unofficial 11th ranked fighter.  Not only that but the entire  top 10 p4p list is fighting on this card Friday.  If that wasn’t enough every Heroic title will be put up as the champions take to the cage to prove they are the Heroes of Heroic.  I cant wait to see the way this thing turns out but

Fighter profile of Taj al Din by Chris Karter

Axelsson is posturing up here but al Din has hold of an arm and he's gone for an armbar! Axelsson tries to roll out but it's too tight and Axelsson has to tap! Slick submission there by al Din!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:31 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Taj al Din!
Taj al Din retains his light heavyweight title!
An out of breath Taj al Din thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.

The Knockout King

About Me: Chris Karter

 The Knockout King

At 20 years old a Christ-like figure took the MMA scene by storm.  He brought the lightning, the thunder, and the heat.  Chris Karter started his manager career with a 10 fight winning streak.  He joined forces with the legendary Avon Barksdale and established Convicted Inc, the most powerful alliance in the game.  Despite his greatness and early success, he didn't truly become invincible until he reunited with his Drunken Bum Alliance comrade Lance Templeton.  Together the tag team duo became an unstoppable force of nature.  60 victories and 50 knockouts later it was inevitable that Chris Karter would claim the KO crown.  Along the way he faced some adversity, but overcame all obstacles.  A man of many triumphs and his share of heartbreaks, he reached the pinnacle, redefined the striking game, and put his stamp on MMATycoon
