We had some unexpected results. At least they we're unexpected for our betting partner. Peieira took Flint by way of Kimura, which earned him the 'sub of the night award'. Averescu put a stop to the aspirations of Walsh by means of a brutal KO. Needless to say, this is the kind thing we like to see and the jury decided unanimously to award this savagery with the KO of the night award. Good show ladds!

  3. David Fry: David here doing some post fight interviews here in Los Angeles at the Birth of Warrior Tournament. Oh I think see one of the contestants now. It looks like the winner of the first fight on the main card Michael Bostic. It is! Hey Mike can you come over for a few questions. Michael Bostic: Yeah sure! What's up? David Fry: You said Dustin Ribas stood the best chance against you in your block. Are you still willing to make that claim? And what did you think about tonight's fight? Michael Bostic: Yes I still back that 100%. Man I'm still reeling from the adrenaline. I went in there and did my thing. I was thinking the best I could hope for against Ribas would have been a decision, but I was able to put him away. I'm happy about. And this being my first professional fight and getting to do this infront of about 500 people cheering. Man it's a rush. Hoping my next fight is infront of even more people. David Fry: What do you think has been your biggest influence for success so far? Michael Bostic: Man I would probably have to say the training. Old School Training aint no joke. The coaches there keep their eyes on you and if you make a mistake the penalize you. Like if they call for a 1,3,4 combination and you give them a 1,2,4 bam 10 suicides. They tell you go for the takedown and you don't drop your hips correctly bam 10 set of 10 squats. Like that. Any mistake you are punished. They train your body technique technique technique for muscle memory. They train your ears and mind to listen to their instructions. If you don't you pay for it. It truly is Old School. David Fry: Man that sounds like some tough training. One last question for you. What is the biggest whole in your game in your opinion? Michael Bostic: My stand up. Without a doubt. When I decided to start a career in mma I was a wrestler who silvered his junior year at state. And was like you know it would be something fun to do when I'm not out catching waves. Then by the time I had my first fight I won state in wrestling my senior year and just graduated high school last month. Let me tell you with no school it's a lot easier to find time to surf and train. So I get to train my stand up more now too. David Fry: Thank you for your time.

  4. HFC 62 - Dos Anjos vs Lachance - Preview Hello MMA fans, I'm Alexei Smirnov and welcome to your preview for HFC 62. It’s a big event tonight and the second HFC PPV we have some big championship fights and some interesting storylines. The fans in New York are in for a great one tonight! Rimtas Kentas vs Rafaelo Gracie My pick: Kentas Via Submission (Armbar) Marcus Svensonn vs Nick "The Black Belt Slayer" Rodriguez My pick: Svensonn Via TKO (Strikes) Yago "Grande Guerreiro" Nascimento vs "Billy BarxXx" Billy Bob Brown My pick: Nascimento Via Unanimous Decision "The British Bulldog" Bald Martin vs Shamus "Half A Job" Murphy My pick: Murphy Via TKO (Strikes) John Bessant vs "Ice Cold" Juan De Souza Now we have John Bessant (13-9-0) taking on “Ice Cold” Juan De Souza (10-9-0). Both are in the middle of losing streaks, who will break theirs? Bessant hasn’t fought since HFC 51 so he’s had a lot of time to prepare for this fight. De Souza has also had a lot of time to prepare his last fight at HFC 53. These fighters have similar styles of fighting, both of them excel in the clinch and I won’t be surprised if most of the fight takes place in there. De Souza hasn’t shown it much but, he could take the fight to the mat if needed as he does have a purple belt in BJJ. Bessant does have more fights under his belt so we’ll see if the extra experience comes in handy in this fight. Both of these fighters are in need of a win and it’ll be interesting to see who comes out on top. This fight should be a lot of clincing action, let’s see who I pick! My pick: Bessant Via Unanimous Decision The main reason I pick Bessant to win is his advantage in wrestling. If this fight does take place in the clinch like I expect he will have the advantage. This was a very hard fight to pick; these two are very even but, I think Bessant barely edges De Souza. This is a very important fight for both of these fighters and I hope both fight very well! Juodasis Vaiduoklis vs "Gorgeous " Georges Moxley Up next it’s Juodasis Vaiduoklis (7-3-0) taking on “Gorgeous” Gerorges Moxley (10-5-0). Now we have two men coming off of a win and they hope to keep their momentum. Vaid has been very impressive with his three wins in a row. He has been using his power to overwhelm his opponents and pick up win after win. This will be his biggest challenge so far. Moxley is coming off a sub win at HFC 57 and hopes to ride that momentum into this fight. Whilst Vaid has the winning streak, Moxley has the impressive wins. Moxley has even beaten now champion Ed Ford and challenged for the belt a few times. Vaid will want to keep this fight standing and use his KO power to secure an early win. Moxley’s best way of winning will be on the ground. He’s already shown he can get subs and he’ll want to get Vaid to the ground as soon as possible. It will be very difficult for Vaid to defend against a black belt in BJJ. Moxley’s biggest strength is being unpredictable as his skill set is so vast. Overall a really interesting fight. My pick: Moxley Via Submission (Triangle) This is a very close fight and I could see either fighter winning. I see Moxley picking up the sub. I still see Vaid being better standing but, I think he’s pretty screwed if he goes to the ground. Moxley can still hold his own whilst standing too. I think the black belt in BJJ will be too much to handle. It’ll be a close fight and it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out. I am very excited for the fight! Ivan Izquierdo vs Xmus Jaxon Flaxon Waxon It’s time for Ivan Izquierdo (13-8-0) to take on Xmus Jaxon Flaxon Waxon (10-7-0). Wow that is a mouthful to say, don’t know what some parents are thinking when they name their kids. Ivan has lost two straight so he’ll want to get back on track with a win here. Jaxon on the other hand has won his last two and will want to continue to win. Ivan has an interesting style of fighting and he is very well rounded. He is good at everything, master of none. This means he can exploit the weakness of whoever he is fighting but, it also means he can be outclassed in many areas. Ivan will want to keep this one standing and exploit Jaxon’s poor stand up game. He out matches him whilst standing has gotten plenty of KO wins in his career. Jaxon will want to use the strategy he normally uses in most fights. He will look for a takedown and get a mount then he’ll punch the crap out of them. It’s been effective so far and I don’t think Ivan would be able to defend it very well. He’ll probably be fishing for takedowns early on and this will be Ivan’s time to strike. Let’s see who I think will win! My pick: Izquierdo Via KO (Punch) Despite his recent fights I do think Ivan can win. He just out matches Jaxon in many ways and I think he’ll be able to pick up a finish whilst standing. As long as he can defend the takedown he shouldn’t have too hard of a time beating Jaxon while standing. Now if Jaxon gets some takedowns it’s a different story but, I don’t see that happening. It’ll be a fight to watch out for! "Dragon Fighter" David Dilbrandt vs Bjj "Grapple" Catch Wrestler Next up it’s “Dragon Fighter” David Dilbrandt taking on Bjj “Grapple” Catch Wrestler. Both are coming off wins and hope to keep winning. Like I’ve mentioned before Dilbrandt is the master of decision wins getting a really close win over Jewel Diaz in his last fight. Wrestler also managed to get a decision win in his last fight. Clearly both of these fighters are masters of getting the judges attention but, how will they do it? Dilbrandt has a very clear strategy going into this one: isolate Wrestlers weakness. Now judging by his name Wrestlers weakness is in his standup game, if Dilbrandt can protect the takedown he’ll be just fine. Now on the other hand Wrestler should try as hard as possible to take Dilbrandt to the mat. Now I have no doubt he’ll try to do this and if he does he can try to finish the fight from there. Both fighters have clear paths to win and we’ll see who can execute their plan better. Dilbrandt has also been doing quite a lot of trash talk so let’s see if he can back up his words with a win here. My pick: Dilbrandt Via Unanimous Decision Yup the decision master strikes again but, I do see Dilbrandt getting the win. Wrestler just has one way of winning and that’s by taking this fight to the ground but, even if he gets a takedown Dilbrandt has a black belt he should be able to defend it well. As long as he gets a few punches in there and prevent any offense he should walk away with an easy decision. Overall an interesting fight and it could play out many different ways. Boris Krylov vs Sergey "Tel" Telegin It’s time for the co-main event! For the HFC Heavyweight championship it’s the champ Boris Krylov (13-4-0) taking on the challenger Sergey “Tel” Telegin (7-2-0). Krylov just won his belt in dominant fashion with some brutal strikes to the former champ Kocak. Telegin managed an impressive win against Baraka. Krylov has been on a tear as of recently winning his last three, can he start his reign as champ with a bang? Krylov has insane amounts of power and you need to avoid most of his punches at all costs. If Telegin wants to win this one he’ll want to take Krylov down as fast as possible. When on the mat he’ll have a big advantage and he’ll have neutralized his power. Krylov will obviously want to stop this from happening and should expect the takedown at all costs. Krylov is not a man that is taken to mat very often having only lost to submission in his first ever fight. His other losses are due to cuts. It seems Krylov’s biggest weakness would be his own skin. Krylov will want to stay standing and just throw some bombs at Telegin. Krylov has had some impressive wins over his career but, both of his wins against Demir Kocak have been especially impressive. Telegins four fight winning streak has been very impressive as well. It’s streak vs championship, who will come out on top? My pick: Krylov Via KO (Punch) Krylov is a very impressive fighter and I think he’ll have a very long championship run. Telegin is an impressive fighter but he's in over his head with this one. He’ll win if he can take this to the ground but, when it comes to Krylov that’s a rare thing. Overall an exciting title match! MAIN EVENT: "The Assassin" Lucien Lachance vs Ademaro "A.D.A" Dos Anjos It’s finally time for the main event of this evening. For the HFC welterweight championship it’s the champ “The Assassin” Lucien Lachance taking on reigning HFC fighter of the year Adermaro “A.D.A” Dos Anjos. Both fighters came off of wins but Lachance won a title in his last fight. ADA recently had his huge winning streak come crashing down after Dre Battle took his belt. Lachance won his belt in the first round after scoring some big hits and getting the TKO. Lachance will want to stay standing and use his power to score some big hits on ADA and try to get a TKO. ADA will probably want to take this fight to his comfort spot, the mat. ADA will be looking for some takedowns and will look to finish the fight there. Honestly this fight could go anywhere, both of these men are talented standing or on the ground. A big factor of this fight will be ADA’s chin and if Lachance will have enough power to be able to score a KO. ADA has never been knocked out in his entire career and has a chin of steel. If anyone can break him it’s Lachance who has incredible power in his fists. ADA has many impressive wins but the two that stand out are wins against Bizi and Tonissar. In both he showed his skills and just how talented he is. Lachance has also had many career victories but, his two most recent wins against Woods and King were very impressive. This is a very hard fight to choose for as both of these men deserve to win and are incredibly talented but, I do have to choose is it my job after all. My pick: Dos Anjos Via Submission (Triangle Choke) Well it’s no secret I’m a big fan of ADA I think he’ll be landing on his feet after his loss against Battle. I do see ADA winning yet another belt but, it certainly won’t be easy. Lachance is an incredible fighter and it would be stupid to count him out. ADA is the sub master and I think he can get one here. I’m really excited to see this amazing match up and it will be a great one! Predicted KO of the night: Boris Krylov Predicted Sub of the night: ADA Predicted Fight of the night: Lucien Lachance v Ademaro Dos Anjos Another amazing card and I can’t wait to see how it all plays out. Two championship fights and many exciting matchups I really couldn’t ask for more out of a card. I want to give thanks to HFC and JW for these events and I want to thank the managers for making these great fighters. I’m Alexei Smirnov and I hope you all have a great day and remember to… STAY HARDCORE!!!

  5. Paddy "360°" Mcgillicutty Yep, most certainly. The coward refused to defend his belt against the challenger (me) that he was offered by the org owner. One of the most simple rules in the business is that no matter how much of a coward you are, when being a champ, you defend without any bitching. He was unable to do so, too scared, too stupid.... who knows, who cares? I got offered a new title fight and accepted, as did my opponent right away. Whoever wins, me or Three of Five, will defend the belt in style against the next challenger. We have dignity and pride, two things Panic and his manager have never head of.

  6. Madness Birth of a Warrior Opening Round "Review" With Host Mister Madness The Birth of a warrior tourny kicked off with a bang, and there where some dominant performances. As well as a few surprises, as some of the guys i would have considered favorites came up on the loosing end. Overall quite an impressive showing for some of the top future Featherweight contenders. Now lets get down to the action, and Here we go! Group A Moonlight Groundy def Ares Galvao (Submission Armbar) Rd 1 1:40 This pairing was expected to be a certified grappling match and it was from the start. Ares Galvao to control as he secured a quick takedown to bring the fight to the mat. Ares looked to control this fight from the top position and was doing so until Groundy say no sir! At the 1:30 Mark looked to latch on a Triangle but it was quickly transitioned to a fight ending Armbar to force Galvao to tap. Fight Rating 41% Fight Time 1:40 Chukwu Adeoluwa def Cameron White (TKO Strikes) Rd 2 3:56 In are next fight "The Nigerian Dream" looked unstoppable as he ground and pounds his way to the next round. Chukwu's aggressive ground striking was to much for the BJJ Purple Belt Cameron White who struggled to actively work from his back. Adeoluwa was a perfect 2 for 2 on his Takedown Attempts but his furious Ground and Pound strikes where the difference as he landed an impressive 28 out of 29 in route to the second round TKO. Fight Rating 38% Fight Time 8:56 Jake Askren def Rick Richardson Unanimous Decision This fight was a classic Striker vs Grappler bout with The Wrestling standout Jake Askren exposing Richardson's ability to get stuff the shot. Richardson a Muay Thai expert with an improving BJJ game had some moments where he gained control on the ground hust to have the positioning snatched right back by the superior grappler in Askren. At the end of the fight there was not much doubt that Jake's Ground Strikes and Control on the ground had just gained him the Decision. Fight Rating 32% Fight Time 15:00 Jim Lahey def Kili Disson Unanimous Decision One of those upsets i spoke of came in the final group A pairing as Jim Lahey was able to defend the relentless submission attack of his opponent Disson. This one was not pretty by any means as Kili was struggling to keep a lock on Jim who was doing his best just to survive on the ground. Lahey managed to defend all 18 of Kili's Sub Attempts and finally got some decent strikes in on the feet late in round 3 as he earns the Decision Victory. What may have been more disappointing then the fight. was Lahey's drunkin post fight speech. Fight Rating 28 % Fight Time 15:00 Group B Michael Bostic def Dustin Ribas (TKO Strikes) Rd 3 3:26 Bostic Dominated this fight on the ground and on the feet, Although the ground was much more crucial in the end. Bostic had Ribas in trouble early in round 1 with a vicious body shot followed up with a Elbow to Dustin's head that rocked him for a moment. Ribas though gained his conscious and the two BJJ Purple belts continued on. Ribas knowing he was down 2 rounds knew he needed a finish, so he started to get more aggressive with his attempts this may have left just enough opening though for Bostic to hammer the nail in the coffin as the Wrestler pounds his way to the TKO finish landing 30 out of 35 ground strikes in the fight. Fight Rating 54% Fight Time 13:26 Alex Barnes def Sir Tessin Unanimous Decision Another grappling Display here and i wouldn't say it was dominant but Alex Barnes was very comfortably ahead on the score cards as Sir Tessin slowly ran out of gas. Tessin had little to know offense in this fight as his Opponent on the other hand had some decent success with ground strikes. Both fighters managed two successful takedowns, tessin two in the clinch while Barnes snagged his from the outside, the active ground strikes proved to be the difference maker in this one as Alex advances. Fight Rating 35% Fight Time 15:00 Seok Yi def Hank Rufkin Unanimous Decision South Korean Seok Yi had a pretty strong showing against a well managed Hank Rufkin. Clinch Control played a huge part of this fight and well "Rock" landed a perfect 97 of 97 strikes in the clinch mixing it up with punches, knees and elbows. Rufkin did manage a little success on the ground picking up round two on the scorecards but Yi headed back to his Superior clinch for round three to take the UD 29-27 on all three scorecards. Fight Rating 77% Fight Time 15:00 Jack Dawson def Jerome Doblas (TKO Strikes) Round 3 4:30 Like the last Match up, this one was a battle that was one in the clinch and Jack Dawson was in charge of this one from start to finish. Jerome had a little success landing 15 out of 57 strikes, but it was no where near Dawson's strike % in the clinch. Dawson landed nearly 85% of his strikes 69% of which where knees for a total of which 160 strikes landed, what a fuckin manaic. Giving he is matched with Seok Yi in the next round there will be some violent clinch work in store for us. Fight Rating 100% Fight Time 14:30 Group C Tourney Warrior def Karl Childers (TKO Strikes) Rd 2 3:11 After Round one it looked like Childers guard pulling tactics may lead him to victory as he managed to pull guard twice in the opening round and control the fight to take round 1. Tourney Warrior though made some wise adjustments and prevented Karl from getting the fight to the mat round 2 as Childers relentlessly struggled to do so. Warrior took advantage and started to tee off on the Arkansonian's head and body. The end came after a big right hand sent Childers to the mat and Warrior added some strikes from the mount to end the fight. Fight Rating 51% Fight Time 8:11 Pete Seat def Kloockz Diesel (Submission Guillotine) Rd 1 0:28 This one didn't last long Diesel came out with a body shot that missed its mark and Seat quickly moved into the clinch. Pete then goets a Takedown but Kloockz somehow lands on top, unfazed though Pete then locks on a tight Guillotine that forces a tap in under 30 seconds of the fight. Fight Rating 100% Fight Time 0:28 Harris Reed def Dante Solomon (Submission Kimura) Rd 1 3:59 Solomon the better striker of the two starts out strong landing 6 out of 11 on his strikes which took a bit of energy out of Reed. As the fight hits the two minute mark Harris realizing he is not getting anywhere on the feet changes levels and scores his first successful Takedown putting the Striker on his back.He starts off landing a nice elbow to soften Dante up, then starts trying submissions. After his first Kimura fails, the Brown belt in BJJ goes back to it once more and this time hes got forcing Solomon to tap out. Fight Rating 41% Fight Time 3:59 Jeremy Moyna def Jeremy Winters (KO Punch) Rd 1 0:18 There can only be one Warrior and there can only be one Jeremy, as Jeremy Moyna has emerged as the king of the Jeremey's. Winters though for all it's worth has a beautifull mustache, which may have outraged Moyna even more. After Winters second failed Takedown Moyna counters with the almighty "Right hand from Hell" putting Mr. Winters to sleep and giving Jeremy Moyna the quickest finish of the opening round. Fight Rating 100% Fight Time 0:18 Reminder When we get down to the remaining three fighters, a bye will be rewarded to the lowest overall fight time. Below is a leader board for the automatic bye to the final Moyna 0:18 Seat 0:28 Groundy 1:40 Reed 3:59 Warrior 8:11 Adeoluwa 8:56 Bostic 13:26 Dawson 14:30 Yi 15:00 Barnes 15:00 Askren 15:00 Lahey 15:00

  9. HFC 62 - Dos Anjos vs Lachance 27 Febuary 2021 Empire Indoor Arena (14,500) Fight of the Night: Lachance vs Dos Anjos This was a great fight, and with the champ being the underdog, he comes away with a huge win and hands ADA a loss that will not sit well with the former champ. This fight went back and forth with ADA taking 2 of the first 3 rounds, but in that 4th round, ADA's cut was opened up wide and blood was flowing like a hippo's period. Due to the lack of any fights jumping out for this award, and that it was a title fight, this fight earned FotN. KO of the Night: Georges Moxley There were several fighters competing for this award, and that's a great thing to behold. But this one edged it out for a couple of reasons. For starters, the pure ferocity of the finish, the knockdown and jumping into full mount, then just pounding face until Vaiduoklis had no choice but to give up his back, and the ref was forced to stop the fight before any permanent damage was done. These two managers are both newer to the game, and both great young up and comers, with Vaiduoklis's own Esiah Xavier having just won best new manager of the year award. So props to Moxley and Benjamin Halle for a big win over a big camp. Sub of the Night: Rafaelo Gracie We had only two submissions to choose from for this award. Nick Rodriguez had a nice armbar against Svensonn, but Gracie's quick work to put down Kentas in only 35 seconds earned him the honors for submission of the night. ______________________________ In our 2nd ever PPV, in front of 14,500 screaming fans, HFC put on another show with some great finishes, and some unexpected results. In an attempt to try something a little different with these reviews, I'm going to do as I usually do and post the fight results below with direct links to the fighters and fights for each card. I will later post a fight highlight (typically the FotN or a Title fight). ______________________________ MAIN CARD: Lachance DEF Dos Anjos via TKO (Cut) Krylov DEF Telegin via TKO (Strikes) Dilbrandt DEF Wrestler via Decision (Unanimous) Waxon DEF Izquierdo via TKO (Strikes) UNDERCARD: Moxley DEF Vaiduoklis via TKO (Strikes) Bessant DEF De Souza via TKO (Strikes) Murphy DEF Martin via TKO (Head Kick) Nascimento DEF Brown via TKO (Strikes) Rodriguez DEF Svensonn via Submission (Armbar) Gracie DEF Kentas via Submission (Guillotine)

  13. I got a little flack a while back, which was funny considering who the flack was coming from a true piece of garbage in Tycoon history. He questioned my ability to book fights hahahahaha. Anyway if a guy just signs with a org he should not be granted a title fight in his first fight in my opinion. There are some cases where a org owner may not have any choice, but in this certain case what in the actual F$$K are you thinking here. Here is a the fight in question, yes i am a little biased as the manager of the champ is a alliance mate of mine, and i absolutely can not stand the guy who is clearly taken advantage of some newbie org owner. https://www.mmatycoon.com/scoutfight.php?fida=366894&fidb=367636 First off there is literally 12 fighters ahead of the challenger here in this orgs 205 division. 2nd its his first fight in the org after a disgusting match up in his last outing which proves my point further that Camara is a piece of shit>https://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=1031852 Useless primaries across the board c'mon man. Back to the case in point, An org owner that lets a lowlife manager weasel his way into a unwarranted title fight should be called out. So Oliver Porsche Im calling you out whats up with this shit?

  14. GDL 81: Wright vs Kock 3 Preview This event will be held in Hard Knocks - Las Vegas (3.000) on the 27th of Feb Hello everybody and welcome to the GDL 81 preview. Today we have a lot of young talent on our hands but that doesn’t mean our main event is something not to be excited for. Because it’s a title rematch between Cleon “The Warrior” Wright and Batang Kock. More about this one later, let’s start from the top. 1st bout of the day - Featherweight Doesn’t “Really” Matter (0-2-0) vs Kris Shumway (1-2-0) First up we have a bout between Matter and Shumway, which I don’t expect to be a long fight. Both of the fighters are boxing specialists, although Shumway has wonderful boxing skills, while Matters only has remarkable. So if you wanna see blood this is definitely the fight to watch, because there’s gonna be a lot of strikes in this one. The biggest thing separating the two is in the preparation. Matter is coming to the fight on quite low morale and energy, while Shumway is in top shape. Author’s take - Shumway via TKO (Strikes) 2nd bout of the day - Super heavyweight King Mohammed Ali (1-0-0) vs Fransico “Tu Peor Pesadilla” Alvarez (0-1-0) Did my eyes deceive me or did I just read Mohammed Ali?! What did you say? Oh. Sorry to everyone who got just as excited as me. It seems like this one is different. Even though King Mohammed Ali looks a lot like him, they have their differences. Ali is a bit bigger at 265 lbs and even though he is also superb at boxing, he actually has a purple belt in BJJ. Now let’s talk about his opponent. Alvarez is known for his wonderful boxing skills while also having respectable wrestling skills. But I think Alvarez has a little more motivation for this fight. This is actually a rematch between the two, and the first fight at GDL 79 ended in Alis favour with a spinning backfist after 24 seconds. But I have to mention the difference in preparation seems to favour Ali. Author’s take - Ali via KO (Punch) 3rd bout of the day - Middleweight Robert Williams (0-1-0) vs Stewart "Ultraman Filipino" Folayang (1-2-0) You’re killing me with these long nicknames… This next bout is a battle between two different kinds of fighters. Williams is known for his respectable muay thai skills, while Folayang is better on the floor with a blue belt in BJJ. This is definitely gonna be a battle for position. It could go both ways. Williams looks in better shape but if it goes to the ground I think Folayanag takes it. Author’s take - Folayang via Submission (Kimura) 4th bout of the day - Welterweight Lovre "The Nuke" Rakic (0-1-0) vs Michael Fochi (0-0-0) Here we have a debut fight for Fochi who is a well-rounded fighter. He is mediocre in most skills. His opponent Rakic is a kickboxer, with competent boxing and mediocre muay thai. From what I’ve seen in the camps it looks like Fochi has a lot more energy. Rakic looks like he could fall over at any moment. Author’s take - Fochi via TKO (Strikes) 5th bout of the day - Super heavyweight Audie Graham (1-0-0) vs Jaap Dolman (0-1-0) Here we have a classic kicker vs boxer bout. Graham has proficient muay thai, while Dolman has competent boxing. Both fighters are looking well prepared, so this could potentially be a long fight. There is also a huge weight advantage for Graham at 270 lbs who is 40 lbs heavier than his opponent, so he will do a lot of damage. He is also coming off a decision win so he has a lot of momentum going on, while Dolman lost his first fight via TKO by strikes. Author’s take - Audie Graham via TKO (Strikes) 6th bout of the day - Lightweight Zig "Sputnick" Zig (0-1-0) vs Deacon "The Diamond" Dilbrandt (0-0-0) This is a fight I’m personally looking forward to. Zig the ground specialist has a purple belt in BJJ versus only 16 year old Dilbrandt the wonderful muay thai specialist. While we haven’t seen Dilbrandt in action before, he certainly looks to be in top shape and I’m excited to see his first fight. On the other hand Zig is coming on a bit low morale, but he still looks very dangerous. If he can get Dilbrandt on the floor, then he will win this fight. Author’s take - Zig via Submission (Armbar) 7th bout of the day - Middleweight Olivier Saint Maximin (0-1-0) vs Filip "Blackbeard" Valcak (2-1-0) This is a David vs Goliath kinda fight. These guys were actually in the same QFC tournament (1038), where Valcak made the 3rd round but Maximin went out in the 1st. Valcak is the clear favorite here, his noteworthy skills being competent boxing and a purple belt in BJJ. Although his energy is a bit low. Maximin is feeble in most skills, topping it off with a blue belt in BJJ. I don’t see how he is winning this fight. Author’s take - Valcak via Submission (Arm Triangle) 8th bout of the day - Middleweight Fausto Jr "Baby Mastino" Carsara (0-0-0) vs Venom Killer Jr (2-0-0) Carsara is a pure boxer and has wonderful boxing skills. His opponent Killer Jr is a little more flexible with respectable muay thai, proficient wrestling and a blue belt in BJJ. Again a fight where you want to be the aggressor and control the fight so you can fight in your strong suits. If Carsara can stay outside he wins, but it’s gonna be tough if they get on the ground. Carsara also looked tired during camp. Killer Jr has already been awarded with a SOTN (Sub of the night) at GDL 77, so expect takedowns and submissions from him. Author’s take - Killer Jr via Submission (Kimura) 9th bout of the day and Co-main event - Light heavyweight Eric "Blade" Brooks (7-3-0) vs Bejamin Gold (5-6-0) Up in this bout we have an actual moviestar and vampire hunter Eric "Blade" Brooks from the movie “Blade”. He has decided to join the ranks of the GDL since there weren't any vampires left. His next victim Gold is actually returning alive from an earlier fight they had. Then Brooks won via TKO (Strikes) so he must be looking to finish him off here. Both fighters have been looking really good in camp, but Brooks seems like the better fighter. Brooks has ended 6 of 7 wins in (T)KO, while Gold has ended 4 of 5 wins in T(KO) so someone is getting knocked out. Author’s take - Brooks via TKO (Strikes) 10th BOUT OF THE DAY AND MAIN EVENT - Featherweight TITLE FIGHT Cleon "The Warrior " Wright (9-2-0) vs Batang Kock (9-3-0) This is gonna be the 3rd time Wright and Kock is gonna fight for the title! The standing between the two is 1-1, the lastest victor, and current titleholder Batang Kock won via decision (Unanimous) when they met last time. I wouldn’t want to run into Wright, as he is the Warriors’ gang leader and has very little patience. This is for sure the fight to watch. Who’s gonna come out on top of this BO3 and can Kock hold on to his title? Both of their earlier fights ended in a decision, so we are hopefully gonna see another 25 minutes of pure havoc in this one. Author’s take - Cleon "The Warrior " Wright via Decision (Unanimous)

  15. - BBFC Fight Night 4 Spotlight Preview - This card is gonna be an amazing one, let's waste no time and get right into the previews! - Co Main Event - For our Co-main Event we will have a huge Welterweight tilt between #3 "The Melburnian" Logan Barrengarry (9-3)(1-0 in BBFC) vs #5 "The Random One" Chace Chacing (10-3)(1-0 in BBFC) Former Checkmate Champion and current #3 ranked BBFC contender Logan Barrengarry, is coming off a big win over Maxin Ward back at BBFC 1 Jalbert Vs. Broderick. The well-rounded multitasker from Australia has already achieved so much in his career but I feel like he is just getting, now already 1-0 inside BBFC, he will be looking to prove once again why he is a force to be reckoned with. Across from him will be former BFC title contender and #5 ranked BBFC contender, Chace Chacing is also coming off a big win in his last outing when he took out Tyson Law with a vicious Armbar in the first round back at BBFC SYNDICATE 1, now he will look to continue his win streak and raise his rankings with a big win over the #3 ranked contender! We will get to see two men who have already have successful debuts under the new banner, but only one can continue their success here, who will it be?! - Main Event - The Lightweight title will be up for grabs in our Main event when "Zig Zag" Ziggy Ozbourne (5-0)(0-0 in BBFC) takes on Death Minister (9-5)(0-0 in BBFC) The dominant force that also goes by the name of Ziggy Ozbourne is a perfect 5-0 in his Pro MMA career, and when I say perfect, I mean it, he has looked pretty much untouchable in all of his fights, and even with only 5 fights he has already shown great promise for his future, the first time he faced adversity was in his Samuel Rodrigues fight, he got taken down and almost submitted, but showed a champion heart and got out and then defeated Rodrigues by way of TKO after being extended to a second round for the first time, which speaking of champion heart, that win earned him a title shot in BFC against one of the most dominant champions of BFC in Akhmed Dudayev. Ozbourne suffered a cut early in that fight, but cut and all he managed to finish the champ in the first round with a nasty uppercut that crowned him the BFC 155 Champion right before the merge, now he will look to become the first 155 BBFC Champion. But to do that he must get through a new test, and that is a soul snatching mad man said to be sent straight from hell, Death Minister not only defeats his foes but takes a bit of them with him in the process, his most recent victims have been Rebel Smith and Enzo Mendoza which both fell under the Minister's fists in the first round by way of KO. In fact, all 9 of his wins have come by way of KO/TKO, and all but 1 being inside the first round. Minister has gone a near-perfect 3-1 since dropping down to 155, with all 3 of his wins being by first-round Knockouts. It is clear this fight will be his biggest test, and I think a lot of people are already counting him out, but that is usually when the biggest upsets happen, will this be another one of those times? The Main Event that promises to be a great one, and a fight you do not wanna miss! This card will also feature these great matchups! (170) - #4 Joad Cressbeckler (10-2)(0-0 in BBFC) vs #8 Wilhelm "Arm" Bar (6-4)(0-0 in BBFC) (145) - #10 Nou Hematopoye (6-2)(0-0 in BBFC) vs Crotch Chewer (4-3)(0-0 in BBFC) (145) - Geroge "Wild Thunder" Turner (10-6)(1-0 in BBFC) vs Rikuto "The Dragon" Ryuunosuke (8-5) (265+) - Julio Valeron Huhrera (20-19-2)(0-0 in BBFC) vs Marcio Alvarez (14-10)(0-0 in BBFC) (265) - Mariano "Fuego" Medrano (4-3)(0-0 in BBFC) vs Pierre Mvarre (5-3)(0-0 in BBFC) (155) - Hugo Olsen (2-2)(1-0 in BBFC) vs Jon Yankowy (1-3)(0-0 in BBFC) (205) - Murilo "Foice" Figueiredo (2-2)(0-0 in BBFC) vs Wilem Tell (2-4)(0-0 in BBFC) (145) - "The real highlight" Timothy Justin Johnson (2-1)(1-0 in BBFC) vs Warran Peace (8-8)(0-1 in BBFC)

  16. League of Madness Week 3 Lightweights "Preview" With Host Mister Madness The LOM Tournament heads into week 3 with the remaining 8 Lightweight competitors looking to advance to the Quarter finals and get one more win in for there respective teams. Week 1 was a Submissions delight, while week 2 brought the PAIN with 4 straight KO finishes. What will be in store for this weeks LOM event? One thing is for sure this one looks stacked with talent. Lets get this Preview underway MISTER MADNESS style. Match #1 Etimoni Founuku vs Captain Tessin Late replacement Etiomoni Founuku a strapping young lad was giving the option to have his opponent selected second this week and he and Coah Hardman selected Team Marky's remaining LW fighter Captain Tessin. Founuku hails from an Unknown region of New Zealand and has recently moved to the City that never sleeps to begin his MMA conquest. He is training at Xtreme Black House which is ran by his Manager Master Leader. Etimoni is a Brown belt in BJJ and will most certainly look to utilize his Jitz in this one. Tessin will be looking to get Team Marky on the scoreboards after back to back losses. A native of Naples, Bulgaria, The Cap now calls Hilo, Hawaii his home where he trains with the rest of the Tessin gang and Head Honcho Master Tessin. Captain has a Superb wrestler and a Bulgarian brute to say the least. Only one Master will prevail in this one gents! Match #2 Frankie DeLuna vs Patrick Mahomes Team Clubber and Lightweight Frankie Deluna did not have many options to chose from but they felt there best option was Patrick Mahomes of Team Alfred. With Team Clubber already advancing two fighters in Damnation and Rai, Deluna looks to make it 3 for 3. Frankie is originally from Antananarivo, Madagascar and has recently relocated to Rio de Janeiro as a he joins his Team and Manager Darren Russell at Alpha Brasil . DeLuna has a balanced attack but his ground game looks to be his strength. His opponent will be Patrick Mahomes of St. Joseph, Missouri. Yes, the 2020 Superbowl MVP is now 18 years old and looking to be a future MMA champion. A pupil of Joe River, Mahomes now trains with the River team in New York at Rivers Edge Gym . Mahomes also has a Diverse skill set but looks to edge Frankie in the Standup. This one i have a feeling wont go the distance(Of course not many have lol) Match #3 Pierre Emerick Aubeaumeyang vs Truly Dangerous Team Billy got there first win last week and snatched the first fight selection in the process, Coach Billy choose Team McSweeney's remaing LW Truly Dangerous to face Pierre Emerick. Pierre hails from Libreville, Gabon and has traveled to Montreal for his MMA training. Aubeaumeyang is a member of the Beau Banks fight team and has a vastly improving bag of tricks in his arsenal. Pierre is an average boxer but his ground game looks to be his bread and butter. Truly Dangerous of Los Angeles, Califorina decided to leave Cali behind as he moved to Montreal to pursue a career in MMA. He started training at The Heart of the BloodBath gym where he met Benjamin Halle who instantly took a liking to the youngster. The Muay Thai specialist will need to to be truly dangerous and score the first win for his team in the process. There could very well be a legit sleeper in this fight right here. Match #4 Johnny Billabong vs Fili Disson The final two Lightweights will face off as Team Actions Fili Disson looks to pick up his teams first W but it wont be no easy task as he faces off with Johnny Billabong of Team King. Billabong hopes to join his two teammates in the Quarter finals of LOM but he may have the hardest road of the three. Australian BJJ brown belt, Billabong comes from a very good team and is managed by a tycoon legend in G-Wadimus. Training at GWad's Playpen in Montreal, can "Jolly" Johnny keep the Team King run of dominance intact. Fili is the brother of Birth of a Warrior contestant Kil Disson who also fights this weekend. He trains at his manager Don Xyel's gym in Las Vegas known simply as CT. Disson is a accomplished wrestler with a improving BJJ game, Grappling Coach Shelby Hancock of the CT gym told me he is similar to the Tazmanian Devisl in his small stature and relentless attacks. I wont lie these two gents could have very well have been meeting in the finals but this is the kinda MADNESS, the League of Madness brings to the table. Crucial week 3 as we head into the final week of Team Picks. are remaining Welterweights will be on the clock next as we look to head into the Quarter finals of the competition. Best of luck to all the fighters! This has been a pleasure, don't forget to support your local jester MMA fans!

  23. Paddy "360°" Mcgillicutty That is possible, but no concern to me. I am no chicken like you. If I become champ, I will defend against anyone they set met up against. I won't be making any bullshit stipulations to protect my scared little ass, nor will I make excuses for a loss. You win some, you lose some, but a champ must defend. Pussy. You are no champion-material. You handpick your challengers or otherwise you decline the title defense. Pussy. It is a shame that you are such a pussy, as me vs Panic would have been a good fun challenge.

  26. Paddy "360°" Mcgillicutty You can already proudly wear the coward-badge on your shoulder. I never will. Refusing to defend your title is the lowest of all lows. Coward. Title fight already booked an accepted by parties, as is the way to go.

  27. what challenger? that division is super shallow and the org seems to be going down the drain anyways. I understand giving prospects time to train but you could have accomplished that by not signing him to any org and simply reaching out to managers for 1-fight deals instead of hurting entire active divisions. this "best of both evils" is a huge problem with the game at so many levels. everybody knows Skenoj is pumping hype to a few select managers but we let it fly because nobody else wants to take care of Tycoon Times. Butch booting me from LOM tourney after begging me to captain a team wasted 2 months of a prospect time but Butch writes detailed articles so mods went in and erased all my posts and did everything to keep that Karen happy so he would not quit the game. But eventually your shenanigans hurt the player base more than they help. We are also seeing a cancel culture the type we have not seen since King Kendrick and Grant Brophy , this place was in shambles when I started playing mostly because Mike manages his game on auto pilot and when a bad culture settles in it takes me hundreds of arse beatings to set it right.

  28. dumbest comment I have read in ages , really showcases your low IQ 1- this division just lost their top 2 contenders in that division, both managed by Manuel. 2- also the org is showing at 78% satisfaction rating and no it's not from Manu because his fighters are already out of the org. 3- this ID is looong past, low ratings, no contenders, and under 90 fighters this org is doomed. you know this better than anyone since you dismantle entire healthy orgs just to keep your main org afloat lol now if you think any respectable manager will bring their prospects to this org after these shenanigans well I might as well get you a bib because you are drooling extra hard

  29. and I say this being a loooong time ago Paddy's bodyguard, I brought my guy to this org to play along and fight the guys he didn't want to fight lol but at some point the joke got stale and it became obvious what Bjorn was doing. long before you and I played this game Bjorn was famous for pulling this crap, he has never changed people are just tired of obliging.
