Author:Jonah King

Hello folks, Merlin here bringing you a preview of the 15th FC Lost Legends event being held at Hayashi's Lounge on Satuarday Night in Hilo! We have the Welterweight Title on the line, and some top level match ups! I spoke with King Arthur the other day and he said this is the biggest card in the promotions history! So lets get it started....



170lbs-Semore Butkiss(1-3)(1-2)vsSuleman Pokong(1-3)(1-3)-Butkiss by (t)KO in 1st Rd



170lbs-Kett Dela Calzada(2-1)(1-1)vsJose Dimagiba(4-4)(2-3)-Dimagiba by UD



185lbs-Pete Mercury(5-8)(1-4)vsHollis Melendez(3-2)(2-0)-Mercury by UD



185lbs-Chappa Chippa(6-7)(2-3)vsCharles Bartowski(3-1)(0-1)-Bartowski by UD



265lbs-#8.Wes Walker(5-1)(0-0)vsChris Palmer(1-0)(0-0)-Palmer by UD



185lbs-#7.Jeff"El jefe"Wood(6-3)(3-2)vs#10.Demian"Sandman"Alva(3-1)(1-1)



Our Main Card of the evening starts off with a rematch of these two top 10 Middleweights, who need a win to move into the top of the division! Jeff Wood has had a very up and down Fallen Champions career, he'll win one and lose one and coming off of a win the odds are not in his favor. He has very efficient striking where he lands over 80% of his strikes, and he uses those strikes to set up his takedowns and get the fight where he actually wants it and has used his Brown belt to submit 5 of his opponents. Demian Alva fell short in his FC debut, but since then has picked up a submission win to get back on track! Jeff able to get the nod from the judges the first time that they met, and I see the same in this one! His game is alot smoother and slicker than Demian's and that will be enough to earn him the victory.



170lbs-#3.Severino"Bombita"Bernardo(5-5)(5-3)vs#5.Donnatello Moss(3-1)(1-0)



Severino Bombita is an 8 fight veteran of Fallen Champions, and the 27 year old has fought some of the best at 170lbs! He has a well balanced ground game, and is a ground n pound specialist. He likes to take his opponent down, and opening up with a barrage of strikes until they wilt and his hand gets raised which is exactly how he has earned 4 of his career victories! Word coming out of the Hilo Training center is that Severino has been down in the dumps since his loss to Tolle at Lost Legends XI. Donnatello Moss made his promotional debut with a big Head Kick win at Lost Legends XI against Chris Madison. He has some exceptional Muay Thai, and he uses it to throw alot of kicks and look to clinch. Once he gets the fight into the clinch it smells bad news for his opponent, because he starts to unload on them with elbows and knees. I think that Moss will be able to get the clinch, and end the fight with either a cut or a knock out!



145lbs-#1.Michak Ropuia(11-5)(4-2)vs#4.Kalel"#1"Iziarry(6-2)(4-2)



Michak Ropuia is a very impressive fighter, the man has 6 fights under the Fallen Champion banner, 4 wins, 4 of the night awards, and has been involved in 3 title fights if thats not the making of a future hall of famer I don't know what is. He bounced back from losing the title with an impressive war with Malcolm Master that brought home the win and the Fight of the Night award. He likes to get the fight to the ground whether that involves a takedown or pulling guard, then he uses his superior BJJ to lock up a submission which he has been able to do 10 times up until this point in his career. Kalel Iziarry is coming in on a 3 fight win streak and a win in this one could set him up with a big match up with the Champion Mike OMalley. Kalel has some very good wrestling and a solid submission game, he has been able to finish 4 of his fights via submission and has used his grappling to earn another 2 decision victories. Kalel lands almost 50% of his takedowns so I see Michak being on his back for the majority of this fight, but I think with his world class BJJ he will be able to lock up a submission victory!



155lbs-#1.Lunchmeat Sandwich(6-1)(6-1)vs#3.David King(9-4)(5-3)



This is our Co Main Event of the evening and we have a great lightweight match up for you, Lunchmeat Sandwich has been on a tear as of late coming into this match up with an impressive 5 fight win streak. His fights aren't always pretty, but he always gets the job down. He is very confident in his Brown belt submission skills, and it shows as he is able to end the fight at anytime and in any position. David King has been on the top of the division since the very first Fallen Champions event, and after losing in the first Lightweight title fight he dropped another one then finally bounced back with an impressive TKO victory at Lost Legends XII. He has great hands and a very solid chin that has helped him earn 9 career knockout victories. I think King is going to take control of this one at the start of the fight, but eventually Sandwich is going to get the fight to the mat and when he does its going to be all over.



170lb Title-(#9 P4p)C.Sir Gawain Lot(6-0)(6-0)vs(#5 P4P)#1."The Dark Prince"Echart Tolle(16-2)(2-0)



In our Main Event of the evening we have the Welterweight Championship on the line, and Champion Gawain Lot is looking for his 3rd title defense. Gawain is currently undefeated and riding a 6 fight win streak coming into this match up, and he is looking to move up in the Pound for Pound org rankings. He has Olympic level wrestling, and if you don't believe me here is an interesting stat he has landed over 85% of his takedown attempts which is just insane. Once on the mat Lot using some descent ground n pound to set up transitions and eventually a submission. Echart Tolle is one of the most experienced fighters under the Fallen Champions banner, and that experience has showed in his first 2 fights in the promotion. With a high level Brown belt and 12 submission victories to his credit, Tolle is a very dangerous opponent once the fight hits the mat. This is going to be a very interesting match up, combined these two have won 13 straight fights, and are both top 10 P4P in the org. Lot has the superior wrestling so he'll be able to get the top position, but Tolle has such a dangerous ground game and with him never being finish I don't think that Lot will be able to control him for 30 minutes so I'm going Tolle by submission in this one!



There you have it folks some absolutely great fights on tap for this event. I would like to thank our sponsors Pirates Powder nutrition and The Dark Side clothing stores, make sure to check in with Sid and Jed I for all your tycoon needs!
