Hello all, Merlin here bringing you a preview from this Sunday's Fallen Champions XIII event. We have ten great match ups on tap, between some future title contenders. Some exciting stuff so lets get started......

145lb-Mirko Silva(3-4)(1-0) vs "Sir" Tristan Blancheflor(1-1)(1-1)-Silva by (t)KO 1st Rd

185lb-"Brickhand"Landel Connell(1-2)(0-1)vs Taran "The Boa"Widow(1-3)(1-2)-Widow by Sub 2nd Rd

205lb-Johnny "The Storm" Hayl(3-4)(0-1) vs Master Sifu(2-2)(1-2)-Sifu by UD

170lb-Alan Belcher(2-2)(0-1) vs "Kilabot Ng Munti!!"Jose Dimagiba(2-2)(0-1)-Jose by (t)KO 1st Rd

265lb-Daniel Cormier(2-2)(2-1) vs "Sir" Percival Pellinore(1-0)(1-0)-Pellinore by UD

205lb-Thiago DeJesus(2-3)(0-3) vs Diego Russell(1-2)(1-1)-Thiago is making his fourth apperance in the Fallen Champions ring, but is still looking to get his first win. While Russell is looking to get back on track after losing his last fight. Dejesus has a clear advantage in the Mauy Thai area, and Russell in the wrestling. I see this fight going to the ground and Russell using his top dominance and ground n pound to control the fight and win a decision.


155lb-Darcy Lilo(6-3)(0-0) vs Stop "FreeInternet" Acta(4-5)(0-0)- Both fighters are making their Fallen Champions debute, and are coming in with a losing streak. If the fight stays standing, its pretty evenly matched, if the fight turns into a wrestling match you have to give the advantage to Lilo. I see this fight going just about every where and ending in a decision victory for Darcy Lilo.


205lb-Ki I Kanaloa(2-0)(0-0) vs Blagoi "Bagata" Ivanov(3-1)(1-0)-Kanaloa is making his Fallen Champions debute, while Bagata is coming off a victory in his last FC outting. Kanaloa will be looking to stay at range and use his boxing skill to keep his undefeated record intacted, and Bagata will look to take the fight to the clinch where he likes to use a combo of elbows and knees to punish his opponent. Its a very evenly matched fight, but I see Kanaloa earning himself a decision victory.


205lb-Ben "The Mauler" Askren(8-4)(1-1) vs Gegardio "Killer" Musasio(2-0)(1-0)- Askren is looking to get himself back in the title picture after losing his last fight to light heavyweight champion Shelby Toe, while Killer could earn himself a shot at the title with a win. Askren has a very good wrestling back ground, and top game that he using to takedown his opponent down and grind them out with constant movement. Musasio is a BJJ wizard that is able to pull off submission from just about anywhere! Unless Musasio is able to get the fight on the mat, I see Askren keeping this fight standing and using his mediocre boxing to score his way to a judges decision.


265lb+-Tjemu Van Dijk(9-2)(2-1) vs Tug Boat(4-2)(0-0)-Van Dijk is a man child when it comes to Mauy Thai striking, and is looking to earn himself a title shot and possible revenge match up against Super Heavyweight Kingpin Tor Pellinore. Tug Boat is making his debute after being a sort of journeymen in Hilo, hes coming in riding a two fight win streak and is equally as dangerous standing as his is on the ground. I think Tug will try to avoid Van Dijk's stand up and look for the takedown, but I think that Tjemu has a good enough wrestling defense to keep the fight standing and use his wonderful kicks to end the fight by (t)KO in the 1st round.
