 GAMMA #387: JUSTE versus ULTRA 2 REVIEW written by Furious Styles
APRIL 6, 2014 WOMBLEY STADIUM, LONDON 93,607 ATTENDANCE
Greetings ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another review written by yours truly, Furious Styles. London, England was rockin’ on the eve of April 6 and this review covers the action that went down that night! There were plenty of warriors who tasted the canvas and the raucous crowd loved it of course! GAMMA continues to do its absolute best to bring you the most entertaining and thrilling battles in MMATycoon, so sit back, get comfortable, and take this journey with me on what unfurled!
MAIN CARD SUPER HEAVYWEIGHT EVENT: “BIG BAD” MK ULTRA (39-18-1) of GRABTHE.INFO versus RENANT ST JUSTE (33-11) of the LEGION OF DOOM
The Main Event featured the return bout between these two warriors that first occurred on June 5, 2013 that resulted in a Unanimous Decision victory for St. Juste. A good amount of time has passed since these two locked horns and each fighter accomplished quite a bit since that point in their careers. Eventually they knew their paths would cross once again and they left nothing in the cage for this battle!
We saw five rounds of brutality unfold and the crowd was chanting for more when the bell rang! In the first round, Ultra set the tone of the hard-hitting, crushing and painful action by opening a cut on the top of Juste’s left eye with a stinging left jab, then later opened that cut further with a nasty right hook that Juste took in stride and even smiled through while high-fiving Ultra. Talk about being able to take a hard punch! Both men finished the round just as strongly and with as much energy and aggression as it began, but Ultra definitely took the round on points.
In Round 2, even more crimson poured from St. Juste’s eye and it definitely caused trouble for him and made his corner very concerned about their fighter! Ultra’s head-snapping jab was the cause of the blood increase then it was that very same jab that opened it up to the point where it was free flowing and covered St. Juste’s nose, mouth and neck in rivulets of blood. However, much to his credit, that didn’t slow the determined warrior and he survived the round, though again it was Ultra who took the round on points!
Round 3 was all Ultra though St. Juste definitely got in some body-shaking shots that caused Ultra to slow down a bit and be more cautious, but Ultra was determined to maintain his high level of energy and aggression and wouldn’t be denied! Round 4 was one hell of a standup war and St. Juste looked like an action movie villain fighting the hero because he was covered in blood and just kept on coming, a testament to his heart! In the final round, St. Juste tried to change the look of the fight by finally taking it to the ground but Ultra reversed that with an attempted kimura and later, he controlled the action enough to cause the standup.
Both men were exhausted as the final bell rang but they embraced respectfully and both received a standing ovation from the crowd! Ultra earned the UNANIMOUS DECISION victory and evened the battle with St. Juste to one to one. Perhaps they’ll battle in the near future to break that tie. This fight also earned Fight of the Night distinctions.
MAIN CARD SUPER HEAVYWEIGHT EVENT: ARVYDAS SABONIS (23-10) of AXIS OF EVIL versus “THE WARWAGON” JT COLOSSUS 37-27-1) of THE ILLUMINATI
These two hard-hitting veterans only had one thing in mind: Knockout the opponent or be knocked out by the opponent! There was no going to the ground and trying to outwrestle one another for this battle, no sir! Sabonis, the former basketball player, was able to utilize his great height advantage very well in this fight, but not at a distance. Instead, after taking a lung-deflating body shot from Colossus, Sabonis locked him in a clinch and went to work!
With a flurry of aggression and energy, Sabonis landed punches all over Colossus and eventually rocked his world with a beautiful left hook that snapped Colossus’ head like he was hit by a hammer! Colossus was on dream street but he fought as best as he could, holding on and fighting like a warrior! Sabonis was able to create just enough room to unleash a ferocious right uppercut that turned out Collosus’ lights, giving him the KNOCKOUT VICTORY!
MAIN CARD LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT MATCH: “PSYCHO SHOOTER” MAX HATRED (15-2) of the EVOLUTION FIGHT CLAN versus DICK INC (27-16) of FIGHTERS FIRST ALLIANCE
The man with the odd name, Dick Inc, did his best to take this fight to the ground where he felt he had the better BJJ ability and thus, attempted to end the fight via submission. Much to his credit, Hatred looked quite comfortable defending himself against the submission attempts and he was able to even sneak in some of his own, keeping Inc off balance sporadically and frustrating him in the process. It was a tossup between the judges as to whom won Round 1.
Round 2 began as a hellacious standup fight with both men landing some painful shots that made the crowd groan, but again the fight went to the ground when Inc took it there. However, this time it was Hatred who turned the tide of battle on the ground, much to Inc’s chagrin! Inc was able to land some brutal ground-and-pound and hurt Hatred a bit, but right afterward, Hatred swept, got into mount position, then unloaded with savagery, cutting Inc above his right eye with one of many powerful shots, then made the cut worse with more animalistic striking, then Dick went limp – no pun intended – and the referee had no choice but to end the fight! Hatred earned the TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT victory!
MAIN EVENT LIGHTWEIGHT UNDERCARD MATCH: “PUNISHER” PETER CABREROS (41-22-1) of THE LEGION OF PAIN versus SICK PUPPY (17-10-1) of the LEGION OF DOOM
Cabreros was a man possessed in this fight and nothing else can be said! Between Cabreros’ fists and Puppy’s failed takedowns, it was a bad combination for Puppy! He was able to land sporadic punches against Cabreros but they just weren’t enough to stop the onslaught from Cabreros! Cabreros made it even worse with well-timed and very damaging kicks that slowed Puppy a great deal and made him an easy target!
Once Puppy slowed down enough, Cabreros increased his energy and aggression and just rained thunderous punch after punch until the referee jumped in to stop the damage! Cabreros won the fight by way of TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT!
UNDER CARD SUPER HEAVYWEIGHT MATCH: “EMPORER” MARCUS ULPIUS TRAIANUS (32-15) of TEAM OUTKAST versus MARCEL CLASIE (19-15) of THE BROKEN HALO PRIDE
A slicing left cross from Traianus sent the message early by opening a cut above Clasie’s right eye, then Traianus locked him in a clinch, went to work, and peppered him with punches then jolted his skull with a shoulder strike that dazed him! Clasie tried to hold on but it was just too much then a jaw-crushing left uppercut hurtled Clasie against the cage where Traianus unloaded on him until the ref saved him! Traianus earned the TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT win!
UNDER CARD MIDDLEWEIGHT MATCH: ALLEN ROBINSON (11-3) of the LEGION OF DOOM versus “DEE JAY” BILLY BLANKS (19-12) of GRABTHE.INFO
Except for the second round being close, this fight was all Robinson, whether in the clinch or striking at distance, and the judges gave him the UNANIMOUS DECISION victory!
UNDER CARD SUPER HEAVYWEIGHT MATCH: “GTi SLAPPERFEST” GEORGE FOREMAN (27-13-1) of GRABTHE.INFO versus “THE CHOSEN ONE” EVANDER HOLYSHIT (32-20-1) of the LEGION OF DOOM
Foreman’s fists caused Evander to say “holy shit” as Foreman pummeled him relentlessly in a battle of famous boxing names, well, except for Evander’s unusual last name! A nasty, massive right cross was the beginning of the end for Holyshit as he was helpless to stop Foreman and as a result, the referee stopped the fight and Foreman earned the TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT win!
UNDER CARD SUPER HEAVYWEIGHT EVENT: MARK MAKERS (21-12) of THE CONSORTIUM versus PROJECT PAT (19-14) of VALHALLA
A clinch war that saw Pat bleed in Round 3 from a temple-blasting right elbow, care of Makers, this fight was a bit hard to call but the judges deemed the winner to be Makers by UNANIMOUS DECISION!
UNDER CARD SUPER HEAVYWEIGHT EVENT: YOKIDA “KU” MATAE (36-13) versus YRJO JARVINEN (31-20) of THE CORPORATION
Jarvinen was opened up early above his left eye when he dropped his hands and Matae snapped his head with a lighting right cross! The rest of the round was spent in the clinch, on the ground, then back to standing. Round 2 is where Matae introduced his sledgehammer right foot to Jarvinen’s skull, dropping him like he was shot! A cannon-like left cross knocked Jarvinen out on his feet but Matae showed excellent sportsmanship by not landing any more strikes on his unconscious opponent while the referee took too long to stop the fight. Now that’s a man with a good heart! Matae won by KNOCKOUT!
UNDER CARD LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT MATCH: JAMES “JIMMY” HOLMES (13-10) of THE BROKEN HALO PRIDE versus CAPTAIN BEEFHEART (17-15) of ACME – ST. PETERSBURG
Beefheart opened a cut above Holmes’ right eye with a sharp left elbow and that seemed to inspire Holmes to fight harder. Beefheart landed another bone-crunching left elbow that opened up the bloodworks even more, but Holmes kept right on fighting and took Round 1. Round 2 was a solid standup battle that Holmes took on the cards, and Round 3 saw Beefeater once again blast that wound and cause even more bloodflow, but Holmes finished strong and won by UNANIMOUS DECISION!
