 Hello fight fans Merlin here, and I have coverage of tonights Fallen Champions event, this will be the 45th event in the FC series and is sure to be a great card! The main event of the evening is the a clash between two Heavyweight Titans, the long time Champion Razor Maya will put his belt on the line against the newcomer Purple Aki, and man there is going to be fireworks in that one. Lets get the action started......
135lbs-Evander Mackenzie(2-4-1)(2-3-1)vsBarney Judge(4-4)(2-4)-Mackenzie by (t)KO in 1st Rd
265lbs-Kenpachi Zaraki(4-6-1)(0-1)vsJohnnie Wait(3-5)(1-3)-Zaraki by (t)KO in 1st Rd
170lbs-Semore Butkiss(2-5)(2-4)vsHector Pelano(7-11)(0-0)-Pelano by Sub in 2nd Rd
265lbs-Chris Palmer(3-1)(2-1)vsAnthony Gilbert(2-0)(1-0)-Palmer by UD
265lbs-Nick Robinson(7-3)(5-3)vsAl Gold(7-3)(1-2)-Robinson by Sub in 1st Rd
265lbs-IceMan Jones(3-1)(3-1)vs#7.Cyrus The Virus(8-3)(8-3)
We will kick off the Main card with a battle of these Big boy knockout artist. Iceman Jones is a young prospect, with the Boxing ability to stand with anyone in the division. His only weakeness was expose his his single loss, and that is his ground game which his has been working on and and improving. I don't think he will have to worry about that in this fight as neither one of these guys are going to try to take this one down. Cyrus The Virus is a legend of Fallen Champions and this will be his 12th fight inside of the promotion, and he has 8 victories to his name including the longest win streak in org history with 7 straight victories! Cyrus has dynamite in both hands and if he connects with his opponents chin they could go to sleep. This fight is going to end in fireworks which ever way it goes, the only thing that I could see making a difference is the fact that Cyrus is a proven bleeder but I hope that something like a cut won't stop this one. Both of these guys chins should be tested, and if IceMan can pull off the victory in this one it will be the highlight win that he needs on his resume to make a push into the top of the division.
170lbs-#7.Sir Gawain Lot(9-2)(9-2)vsGlin"B-man"Burman(8-12)(3-3)
In our next match up the Welterweights take to the Ring, and this one will be a classic grappler vs striker showcase. The ex Champion Gawain Lot was just one fight away from earning a rematch against then Champion Echart Tolle, but got totally destroyed in a number one contender fight. So Gawain has went back to the drawing board, and hopefully will come back even stronger and make another run at a title shot! Lot has Olympic level Wrestling, and he has matched that up with his Brown belt level grappling game. Glin Burman is an ex amatuer Boxer, but has showed some weaknesses against high level grapplers. Glin is also looking to get back to a title shot, and recently just broke the 3 fight slide that he was on since losing to the then Champion. Lot's chin has been tested and broke in his two losses, so it will be interesting to see if he can weather the early storm of Burman's and land a takedwon. If the fight goes to the mat it will be Lot's world, but if it stays standing for very long I think that Burman will win this one.
205lbs-#2.Dominickoy"Hilo Kid"Palhares(12-8)(2-3)vs#5.Bruce"Black Dynamite"Leroy(6-1)(5-1)
Our next contest is in the Light Heavyweight Division between two top 5 fighters, and a win in this one could result in a title shot. Dominickoy Palhares desperately needs a win in this contest as his FC career hasn't went according to plan up to this point, but he can turn that all around. The 32 year old Grappler can contend with anyone on the mat, but it is the stand up game that gives him problems. He has an overwhelming Sambo style, with world class Wrestling and high level BJJ and all 12 of his victories have came by way of submission. The 6-1 prospect Bruce Leroy has been improving with leeps and bounds in his last few fights, and is ready for a step up in competition to test himself. Bruce is very well rounded and will be comfortable where ever the fight goes, but he isn't great in any one area. He wins hes fights by just picking his opponent apart and old pointing them in a style that reminds you of the Diaz brothers. I think this well be a good match up, and good possibly go the distance. If Palhares can secure a takedown and get the dominate position he could earn himself the victory, but if Leroy can do what he does and just stay moving and pepper Dominickoy with shots his hand could be the one raised at the bell.
185lbs-#4.Werkka Easterlund(15-9)(1-2)vs#10.Tom Waits(7-4)(0-0)
In our Co Main Event of the evening we have an awesome fight between the "Gate Keeper" of the Middleweight division, and a very game new comer. Werkka Easterlund is a beast, and it seems like the road the the title goes through him. He has fought some of the best in the division, and gave them a run for their money including 2 fight of the night bonuses. He has the skillset to complete with the best, and if he can string together some wins he will be looking at a title shot himself. Tom Waits came over to the FC after Joe Lang shut the doors of LFNC and comes in riding a 5 fight win streak that could see him shoot straight to the top of the division. Tom is a Clinch Monster and can destroy you if you stay in there with him for too long, but also is a very good striker with some nasty leg kicks. Even though Tom is the younger fighter and doesn't quite have the experience of Werkka he is still very skilled and I wouldn't count him out of this one. This fight is sure to turn into a war, and could be an early pick for fight of the night. I think that Werkka's key to succes is to stay out of the clinch, and work his strikes from distance. Tom has the power to score the big knock out in this one so you may see him looking to load up one big shot and end the fight in a hurry.
265lb Championship-(#10 P4P)C.Razor Maya(12-3)(5-0)vs#2.Purple Aki(8-0)(0-0)
Its finally time for the Main Event of the evening, and its going to be EPIC! Razor Maya arrived on the scene similar to his opponent billed as the next big thing, and immediately lived up to that with his string of 5 knock out victories. Razor has bricks for fist, and can finish a fight with a single shot. He throws a barrage of strikes including a lot of punches and some crazy head kicks, but he is always looking to take his opponents head off. Maya will have a huge reach advantage and should have a pretty sizable speed advantage too, and I am sure he will look to use those advantages every chance he gets. Purple Aki is coming in riding a hype train, and adding the FC Heavyweight Champion to it will only add fuel to the fire. Purple comes in on an 8 fight win streak, and the 25 year old has the skills to turn him into a future Champion. Aki likes to strike at distance with a variety of kicks and punches, but also likes to clinch up and work his opponent over with hsi nasty knees and dirty Boxing. I think this fight is going to end in brutal fashion as both of this big nasty fighters have the raw power to end a fight in a split second. I really have a hard time picking against either one of this guys it looks like a toss up to me, I mean Razor has a little bit of a physical advantage with the reach, speed, and natural power but Purple has the skillset with his nasty clinch game and the size to out work Razor.
You don't want to miss this card, seriously the KO legend Cyrus the Virus, the ex Welterweight Champion, that MW beast feast, then top it all off this title fight, this event is going to be the best one in the org history!
