Official Fight Card


 


-[Heavyweight bout]: Shine Like A Diamonds vs Ben Breeze


-[Results]: Ben Breeze started the fight off with a takedown right into the guard of Shine Like A Diamonds. Ben Breeze worked Diamonds over with ground and pound from the full guard which turned out to be too much for the young grappler. Ben Breeze def. Shine Like A Diamonds via TKO (Strikes) at 1:37 of round 1.


 


-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Maurice De La Rue vs Nick Alport


-[Results]: Nick Alport was everywhere in this fight; he had the clinchwork and he went for takedowns. Maurice was firing back throughout but he just couldn't keep up as Alport kept a step or two ahead. Nick Alport def. Maurice De La Rue via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).


 


-[Middleweight bout]: Jadyson Costa vs Time Bang


-[Results]: Time “To” Bang won his professional debut much in the style of Ben Breeze: he got the takedown immediately and went to work with the ground and pound. Costa kept Bang in his full guard but was unable to stop the ground and pound that eventually overwhelmed him. Time Bang def. Jadyson Costa via TKO (Strikes) at 1:27 of round 1.


 


-[Middleweight bout]: Tien Jaa vs Anthony Becerra


-[Results]: Tien Jaa pushed Anthony Becerra against the cage and annihilated him with accurate knees to the body and head. Becerra would have done anything to bring this fight to the ground but he was simply unable to get out of the clinch. Tien Jaa def. Anthony Becerra via TKO (Strikes) at 1:24 of round 1.


-[Victory Speech]: Tien Jaa talked himself up to the crowd.


 


-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Guillaume Mein vs Justin Johnson


-[Results]: Guillaume Mein kept his composure and kept bringing the fight to the ground. Justin Johnson really had no answer for the ground game of Guillaume Mein who snaps a five fight losing streak with this win. Guillaume Mein def. Justin Johnson via TKO (Strikes) at 3:54 of round 1.


 


-[Heavyweight bout]: Shawn Bhaltair vs Ivelar Sovat


-[Results]: Ivelar Sovat double legged Bhaltair immediately but was unable to hold him down. Bhaltair escaped, clinched, and pulled guard. From there it was only a matter of time before the Jujitsu blue belt locked in the fight ending kimura. Shawn Bhaltair def. Ivelar Sovat via Submission (Kimura) at 3:54 of round 1.


-[Victory Speech]: Shawn Bhaltair gave a mention to Pinoy Fightwear (90% Laundry) in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).


 


-[Heavyweight bout]: Cigano Da Silva vs Mikey Meyers


-[Results]: Mikey Meyers controlled the tempo of this fight using his offensive wrestling. He used clinchwork and takedowns to stifle the boxing style of Da Silva. Mikey Meyers def. Cigano Da Silva via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).


 


-[Heavyweight bout]: Ivan Vanko vs Trygve Bondevik


-[Results]: The Jujitsu blue belt Bondevik secured a takedown straight out of the gate which is funny considering the fact that he was fighting A GOD DAMNED BROWN BELT. But I digress. Ivan Vanko did what he does best: he hit a scissor sweep and started punching Trygve as many times as he could until the referee called a stop to the fight. Ivan Vanko def. Trygve Bondevik via TKO (Strikes) at 1:43 of round 1.


-[Victory Speech]: The winner, Ivan Vanko, promised his fans that he would only do better in his next fight.


 


-[Heavyweight bout]: Siyar Buhardazada vs Ryan Starner


-[Results]: This one was over before it even began. Ryan Starner was in absolute control from the get-go. He was hitting Siyar with straight punches to the head, body shots, liver shots (which are also body shots but again I digress), and even went for combinations. Ryan Starner def. Siyar Buhardazada via TKO (Strikes) at 0:25 of round 1.


-[Victory Speech]: Ryan Starner talked himself up which went over well considering the dominant performance he had just put on.


 


-[Middleweight Championship bout]: Fenix Espada(c) vs Thomas Hooke


-[Results]: These two fighters were extremely even coming into this fight: both were undefeated strikers, both were exceptional at their own style. Hooke came out and brought the punches but was evidently too aggressive. He was landing punches but you need more than a bum rush of strikes to defeat the hard headed champion. Fenix Espada threw exactly one, count that again, one strike in this fight: a head kick. I'll be honest, I haven't seen a head get removed so quickly since the beginning of Skyrim. Fenix Espada def. Thomas Hooke via KO (Head Kick) at 0:26 of the very first round to retain the undisputed middleweight championship of the world!


-[Victory Speech]: The middleweight champion played to the crowd and addressed his fans which got a huge reception.
