SUCKER PUNCH PREVIEW Sucker Punch Pro Series 75 Good evening Sucker Punch fans, Hare Rumpler here along with Donkey “Dan”, and it’s time to look at what’s coming tonight over at the Bondi Outdoor Arena with SPPS 75. I wish I had better news for everybody out there, but quite frankly our fans are not going to get their money’s worth this evening over at the Bondi. As such, we’ve lowered ticket prices, refunded half the prior sales prices and given vouchers for future events to most fans as well as having dished out a ton of free tickets as we treat this evening as more of a “preview” of future SPPS fights. Why do I say all of this? Well, because close to half our fights on this card, four of them to be exact, had to be cancelled due to managers going MIA and their fighters not signing their fights. And yes, as you might guess, I am not in a good mood about it! And that’s why I went on a headhunting spree over the past several days cutting about a dozen or so fighters from our organization and that process isn’t over yet as I’ll continue doing that as guys come off fights but have absent managers. Granted, our fans will be treated to a few fantastic fights this evening including the Main Event which features Michael Aalto in his first title defense since regaining the Featherweight belt. He’ll be tested by a fearsome little monster in the Magnificent Chulalongkorn! We also have Wilfred Ainsworth who always brings everything he’s got to the cage as he goes at it in a Middleweight contest with Derek Patterson. There’s more, but let’s get a quick word in about our sponsor and merchandise partner and then have a closer look at each of our six fights this evening! Do you find that you’re resting your fighters too often? Two, three, maybe even 4 times a week sometimes? If that’s the case, you’re probably not supplementing their training, and if you are I’m thinking you’re not doing it with Shadow Warrior Tea 160Q, which is Shadow Warrior Nutrition’s outstanding energy loss reduction supplement. It’s the best money can buy and will keep your fighter in the gym training rather than sitting days out resting! Stop on over there today, you will NOT be disappointed! Now, let's get to it! *********************** Fight #1: Welterweights Nils Norling (6-3-0) v Pete Dunham (2-3-0) And of course, in what seems to be somewhat poetic for the way this night and card is set to go, we have two Welterweights opening up the evening with both coming in at least somewhat, if not much more than somewhat in the case of Norling, unprepared. Norling’s manager, Valentina Luvana, has been missing for over three weeks now and as such Norling comes into this fight ready to give it away at only about 60% morale. I say “ready” to give it away because there’s no guarantee he’ll actually do that given Dunham is also coming in somewhat low at 10% off on his morale, with his manager having not logged in in the past two days and making it appear he hasn’t properly primed his fighter either for this one. Not exactly the way to make your Sucker Punch debut, to be sure. And certainly not in a division that is already hurting for quality fighters. So you probably expected me to discuss how this fight might go and strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, I won’t do that out of plain disgust for the way these two are coming to the cage. As I said, this is a division already light on fighters and yet here we are with two more I may very well be cutting after the fights tonight. That would leave us with only 16 in the division and dangerously close to my needing to just shut the division down. Donkey’s Pick: Dunham via whatever. Dunham is less unprepared than Norling so there’s the simple reason to pick him. *********************** Fight #2: Light Heavyweights Victor Veidt (5-1-0) v Morioka Shigemasa (4-5-0) Well folks, here we go again. In this Light Heavyweight matchup we have a relatively unprepared Shigemasa taking on Victor Veidt this evening. You’d think having gone 1-2 over his past three fights under current management that Cian Coggins would have Shigemasa primed and ready to get in there and try to turn things around. Instead, he comes in with his boy 20% off on morale. We know that Shigemasa plans to drop down a weight class to Middleweight after this fight but unless he starts coming prepared to his fights he may not see the end of that new contract. Veidt and Shigemasa are just about even in all primary areas of skill with the exception that Shigemasa has the edge in Jiu Jitsu. Veidt is 1-0 with us under current management and looks to make it a double dip this evening. He won’t care whether Shigemasa came prepared or not and will look to use his solid striking skills to end this one early, although he’s shown he can take it the distance as well as he did against ground specialist Wille Thai last month. Shigemasa, despite having the edge in Jiu Jitsu, typically tries to utilize a diverse kickboxing attack mixed with some Muay Thai. Given that history, I don’t expect the BJJ advantage to factor in this evening so this fight becomes much more even than it would appear on paper. Donkey’s Pick: Veidt via TKO (Strikes) Veidt gets the nod here due to his better preparation as well as his history of finding a way to capture the ‘W’. *********************** Main Card Bout #1: Middleweights Zhao versus Beam II Longsun Zhao (8-7-0) v Jim Beam (5-10-0) On paper Beam will have the advantage in most areas tonight except the one that counts most…wins. His victory over Nyah Hirst to close out the 2020 year in December was probably the best moment of his career…and possibly the worst as well. Yes, he won the championship. But it also set in motion the loss of the belt in his first defense, a loss that he has never seemed to be able to bounce back from. Was it the loss that did it, or the expectations that came with being the champ? Nobody knows for sure, but what we do know is that he’s now lost an unbelievable six fights in a row after having been on a 5-1 roll when he won the belt. Zhao is currently 4-2 in his last six fights and there’d likely be one less loss on the record there if not for his obsession with Psiris Fuhren! Earlier this month he was smacked around by Fuhren yet again for the third time in his career which put a big damper on his two fight roll he’d been on with beautiful KO performances against Sean Smith and Joseph DeAngelo. Expect manager Slick Gunderson to have Zhao primed and ready to get in here tonight and let em rip while trying to protect against the takedowns and potential submission game from Beam! Donkey’s Pick: Beam via Submission (Armbar) These two have met once before very early in their careers during the Cockshot Sorter Series (Round 2) that established the Middleweight division here at SPPS. In that meeting Zhao got the better of Beam with a KO punch to end the evening in the first round. That very well could happen again given Zhao’s striking has continued to be a strong point right up to his most recent fights. I have a sneaky feeling that Beam may be due for a win finally tonight though. He didn’t win the belt for no reason, that same Beam is lurking in there somewhere. *********************** Main Card Bout #2: Light Heavyweights Wille Thai (9-5-0) v Abraham Barnes (4-7-0) Unfortunately another fight this evening where one of our fighters, Barnes in this case, comes to the cage less than prepared. His morale is off by close to 20% which is not going to make trying to break free from a three fight losing streak any easier. I wish I could hype Barnes up a bit here, but truly he’s been struggling. He comes into this fight the favorite going strictly by skills as he has a 4.0* skill estimate and matches or exceeds Thai’s skills in all areas. Yet, he fell to Shigemasa two fights back and Shigemasa has flat out been struggling to find wins. Last month, he was submitted by Sacrificial Lamb, a fighter who was on his way out of the org and ready to quit fighting and had never pulled off a submission in his career. The lack of preparation can be a killer at times and combined with whatever intangible is holding Barnes back it’s been an absolutely showstopper for him. Thai typically comes focused these days when it’s time to step into the ring and that’s no exception this evening. He’s been struggling himself over the past four fights with only a single win three fights back over Titus Fury. He proved himself the more capable ground specialist in that bout but has struggled since against quality standup strikers. Barnes is typically a ground and pounder so the move for Thai tonight will be to catch him with a counter submission if Barnes gets top position, or better yet, never let Barnes have the top to begin with! Donkey’s Pick: Thai via Submission (Guillotine) Going with the more prepared fighter again here in this one. That lack of morale may prevent Barnes from being able to impose his will and dictate position in the fight. *********************** Co-Main Event: Featured Middleweight Bout Wilfred Ainsworth (8-3-1) v Derek Patterson (2-1-0) Alright, finally here in our Co-Main Event we’ll have the type of fight that fans showed up and tailgated all afternoon to see! Derek Patterson will step into the cage tonight in this Middleweight battle with P J Jones in his corner. Across the cage will be big time brawler, Wilfred Ainsworth, with Runt guiding him for the evening! These two are very evenly matched outside Patterson’s Jiu Jitsu abilities where he’ll claim the advantage with his black belt over Ainsworth’s brown. Patterson did start out his career as a grappler so the danger on the ground there against him is real. He hasn’t pulled off a submission for the win yet in MMA but it may just be a matter of time. He’s gone for them in both of his most recent wins when the fight did end up on the mat. He comes in with a 2-1 record in MMA but it should be noted that those wins were in the QFC which is a totally different animal than org competition. That said, Jones is not one to have his boys be caught off-guard or unprepared, so Ainsworth should be taking this fight very seriously. Ainsworth has had two trips to the title fight in his career and unfortunately has come up short both times against first Machado and then Landon McGuire three months back. Since then he’s bounced around with a win over Gotaro but a loss to Blikstein. That loss to Blikstein set him back some rather than catapulting him back into the title picture but a win over a solid competitor like Patterson this evening could give him a big shove upward again. Ainsworth loves to hit em hard and watch em fall, but has won via decision as well. Jones’ boys are known for being able to push a fight the distance for decision victories but tonight a big worry should also be the ground game from Jones’ side of things. Patterson brings a big test for Ainsworth. Donkey’s Pick: Patterson via Unanimous Decision I’ve been told that threats have been received at the office here at SPPS headquarters regarding my picks and a certain manager’s fighter. Now, I’m not saying that I’m picking Patterson instead for that reason…but it’s been made clear to me that should I pick for the other side my general health could be of concern. I’ve contacted the local authorities but here in Oz they seem to think that working at a joint named Sucker Punch brings its own risks and it’s on me. Bah! *********************** Main Event: Featherweight Championship Bout Michael Aalto (11-1-0) v Magnificent Chulalongkorn (11-4-0) Our Main Event of the evening is definitely one that makes the admission price worthwhile despite the disappointment of only six fights on the card tonight! We have two Featherweights here who are ridiculously closely matched, with Chulalongkorn actually having the slightest of edges in boxing and Muay Thai over the defending champ, Michael Aalto! Chulalongkorn is a former champ from Checkmate and after that, BBFC, and those credentials along with his convincing victory over Jaxon Bremner in his Sucker Punch debut last month are what put him in position to get this title shot. I’m very disappointed that Greg Connor’s manager, Andrew Wittig, has gone mostly MIA these days as Connor is now with us and is the owner of the last two wins over Chulalongkorn, something that could have been a HUGE potential future matchup to look for. In the meantime we have other things to attend to here! Chulalongkorn has a history of using brutal boxing and power to win his fights via TKO and KO. Despite Bremner’s concerns going into the fight last month Chulalongkorn does not have a big recent history with the clinch as a go to move. Aalto, who also defeated Bremner two months ago, something that he has in common with Chulalongkorn, is back in the driver’s seat in this Featherweight division again after defeating Baptiste earlier this month to reclaim the belt! That had to be especially satisfying for him given his loss of the belt originally came to Baptiste in his fifth title defense during his initial championship run. Aalto’s last four victories have all come via submission and given Chulalongkorn’s heavy hands there’s no reason to expect that Aalto won’t try to take this fight to the ground as well. Chulalongkorn has never fallen to a submission so far in his career though, so if Aalto is going to pull it off with a finish he’s going to have to do it with a first here! Donkey’s Pick: Aalto via Submission (Armbar) I’m giving the two time champ the respect he deserves here. And this could very well turn out to be a great pick! But, at the same time, I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if this ends in favor of Chulalongkorn via TKO or, more likely, Unanimous Decision. This will be one of the most dangerous fights of the Champ’s career tonight! *********************** So there we have it Sucker Punch fans! Well, not a full card but still a lot of fun on tap this evening folks! It all kicks off in just a few hours now and we hope to see you there! Till then, have fun and don’t forget… Keep it cheap and dirty…Sucker Punch Pro Series 355k+ style!

Dan Averescu about his upcoming fight: - This time I will end it. Is me or him. Beware the old man in the place were man dies young. Ask Nathan Parker. Wilva says he is a killer, let s see who is more efective then who. Me? Or him?

Fixed his trophy for you. I found by clicking my fighters trophy I could edit the link and replace the id with yours, that gave me an update button. After clicking it your guy got his trophy. This means I probably fixed more bugs than Mike this year, should be worth an award of its own I think

Oh please do shut up Mr Muppet Boy. That wig, that smile, it isn't classy at all young chap. I would suggest you not worry about the preview, and worry more about your face being rearranged. Just a suggestion. Good luck.

The cream will be back, see you soon boys.

Magnificent Chulalongkorn Well, the preview was somewhat incorrect, lol. Sure, I'm known for my big hands, but I know damn well how to fight on the ground and wanted to prove a point. Subbed the submission specialist in the first round and got my newest belt in style. Do I see 'Sub of the night' coming up around the corner already...? http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/fight/sub2.gif Chulalongkorn in side control, working for a kimura. He's got hold of an arm and he's torquing it... Aalto is tapping! That's the end of the fight! Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:59 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Magnificent Chulalongkorn! Magnificent Chulalongkorn is the new featherweight champion! Magnificent Chulalongkorn decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way.

LEVEL 2: Fighters must have: - More than 1000 total skill points OR more than 4 wins. - Less than 75 points in hype.

That'l do Donkey, That'l do.

Such a shame - when she was an unranked nobody I had her on Twitter alerting me for notifications in case she came back from injury I was going to sign her, so I can appreciate her talent more than anyone

Such is life, time for me to find a new job

"I’ve been told that threats have been received at the office here at SPPS headquarters regarding my picks and a certain manager’s fighter. Now, I’m not saying that I’m picking Patterson instead for that reason" Huh???

? I think my exact words were "you're smoking crack"

almost spit up my carne asada fries when someone mentioned daigle ?

Give us a looksie or two! https://mmatycoon.com/orgpublic.php?oid=5611 SPPS 355k+: Desperately Seeking Susan...and 155 pound Lightweights...and more! That's right folks, we're not shy about saying it. Our Lightweight division with 355k+ fighters is much more shallow than we'd like at this point over here at Sucker Punch Pro Series! Partly just due to the way it's always been, but also due to the number of managers going AWOL of late. Still holding out and looking for the right opportunity? Already considering a change in the future? Give us a look! And let's talk compensation...we'll work to make it work for you! While we're at it, let's talk about Heavyweights also, the other division we want to beef up quite a bit...and Light Heavyweights. Let's bump these numbers up and really make it a great mix and match scenario for future matchups! Reach out to me and we can discuss. Hare

Top Fights for the coming week... CMMA 137 30th June 2021 185lbs: Middleweight Bout (NR) Kim Kitsuragi (6-1) v (#4) Manny Taveres (9-1) A massive test for Cali newcomer Kim Kitsuragi as he takes on former middleweight champion Manny Taveres. Taveres is already on the comeback trail after posting a first round KO win over former top 10 Quintas Dias at CMMA 126 and will be looking to insert his name directly into the title picture with a win over hot prospect Kitsuragi. Kitsuragi makes his way over from the higher ID Sucker Punch Pro organisation but will be fighting for the first time under the new management of Judo Beau. Beau is, of course, a member of the recently crowned Alliance World Champions Keyboard Warriors and will be himself looking to get his new prospect straight up into title contention. Both fighters with only one loss on their records, both of those coming by way of decision. Other that that its fair to say that they are both generally finishers and that this fight is unlikely to end by decision. Tavares will be the favourite going in but Kitsuragi has much to gain here and motivation to get the win will not be lacking. 145lbs: Featherweight Bout (#5) Abdelrahman Camara (13-3) v (#8) Ibasour Surshurrapal (9-4) A big fight at the top end of the featherweight ranks pits two fighters looking to get back into winning ways. Former title contender here at Cali, Abdelrahman Camara takes on the exotically named Ibasour Surshurrapal. Despite not being in the best of form of late, Abdelrahman Camara maintains a sizeable following of loyal fans and has managed to hang on to his top 10 status since arriving at CaliMMA back in February of this year. Currently under his third management team, Abdelrahman will be hoping to return himself back to the lofty heights enjoyed at the beginning of his career of which saw him capture two different championship belts in two separate orgs. Already with a failed attempt at Zai Druggs featherweight crown, Camara will be buoyed by the fact that Druggs has now retired and could very quickly find himself with another opportunity with a couple of wins. For Ibasour Sursharrapal, his career has largely been two steps forward and then one back. Generally considered forward progress by most but for Sursharrapals manager David Septim, he is likely to be expecting more. A recent loss to Joe Biden in a fight that would have given him a shot at vacant title will be fresh in his memory and the BJJ brown belt will be anxious not to add another loss to his existing four. Camara has the edge in skills but Surshurrapal has the slightly better form. With the featherweight division only just recovering from the sudden departure and retirement of Zai Druggs, there are major opportunities to make big jumps in the title picture right now. CMMA 138 31st June 2021 205lbs: Light-Heavyweight Bout (#1) Sora Izangagi (6-1) vs. (#3) Moritz Zimmerman (8-3) A number one contender match up in the CaliMMA light-heavyweight division headlines event 138 with #1 ranked Sora Izangagi taking on #3 ranked Moritz Zimmerman. These two fighters will be meeting for the first time as Izangagi only recently arrived from the old C4 org where he'd managed a solid 4-1 record. Now, fresh off a huge win over solid prospect Dempsey O'Neil in his Cali debut, Izangagi get's an opportunity for something that has as yet aluded him and that's a shot at a championship belt. First though he needs to get past Cali lifer Moritz Zimmerman who's incredible submission prowess as seen him reach as high as title challenger in the 205lbs division. Eager to get himself back up to that level once again, Zimmerman will be looking to make Izangagi victim number nine and earn himself a second shot at the Cali light-heavyweight championship. Izangagi will be the favourite going in with only one loss to his name and as yet having not been finished. Zimmerman has suffered a couple of KO's in his career but fortunately for him Izangagi isn't known for his knockout power. Zimmerman the submission wizard. Izangagi the technical all round striker. Let's see who fights for the title next! 185lbs:Middleweight Bout (#5) Hayn Diesel (6-0) v (#6) Mustafa Owens (6-1) Two up and coming prospects look to establish themselves in the CaliMMA middleweight division as undefeated Hayn Diesel takes on six fight winning streak Mustafa Owens. Hayn Diesel was actually the last middleweight champion of what was then C4 org and arrives without ever having actually lost it. This fine accomplishment was achieve on May 1st 2021 and this will be his first return to the cage some three months later. Opponent Mustafa Owens might not have had the opportunity as Diesel yet but none the less has been in similarly fine form after suffering a loss in his professional debut back in May 2020. Since then he has managed to rack up a superb six wins in a row and remains undefeated in five here at CaliMMA Another clear striker versus grappler showdown with the winner likely only a fight or two away from a title shot. CMMA 139 1st August 2021 185lbs: Middleweight Title Bout (CHAMP) Barack Obaminator (12-3) vs. (#1) Carter Wright (8-0-1) What a fight this one is going to be folks. The two time reigning CaliMMA middleweight champion Barack Obaminator taking on the undefeated former King of Fighters champion Carter Wright. It's been quite a year so far for Barack Obaminator who's failed attempt at regaining his middleweight title early in the year deterred him not in the slightest. Picking himself up and dusting himself off, Obaminator got straight back on the winning road taking out big names such as Kyle Switzer and Quintus Dias as well as avenging January's title loss against Gus McCrae (who had since lost the belt) His dogged persistence and stellar performances paid off big time earning him his third shot at the title against Principo Adam at CMMA 126 and this time he would not be denied winning a five round decision to reclaim the gold once more. Opponent Carter Wright has also been having a good year so far and in fact, could be said to be having a perfect one. He captured the KoF title at the end of January this year and went on to defend it a further four times before leaving the org in a cloud of mystery. With the only blemish on his record being an unsanctioned amateur draw at the start of his career, Wright is still technically undefeated in nine bouts and would like nothing better than to make the CaliMMA middleweight title number ten. He certainly has the firepower to pull it off too with every single one of his eight victories coming by way of KO. On paper, Wright looks to be coming in as the slight favourite. With the more refined stand up skills and a perfect 100% record of finishes, he will certainly be able to finish Obaminator if he manages to catch him cleanly. On the flip side, Obaminator does have an impressive seven submission victories to his name and you get the feeling that this route right here will be the safest and most effective in the face of such heavy artillery. This could easily be the toughest challenge he has faced in his carreer so far. Can he keep hold of the belt he has fought so hard to reclaim? We can't wait to see. 265lbs: Heavyweight Title Bout (CHAMP) Beau Abner (9-0) vs. (#4) “Mad” Anthony Wayne (9-2) Easily a headliner on any other card, undefeated heavyweight champion Beau Abner faces his next challenger “Mad” Anthony Wayne. Another product of the Andy Down management team, Beau Abner arrived at CaliMMA as the reigning C4 heavyweight champion and as such was given the immediate title shot against Cali champion Kjetil Olsen. Abner took his chance in spectacular fashion by finishing the the big Norwegian in only five seconds. This put the rest of the division on immediate notice that there was a new destructive force in town and that it is going to need something a little special to take it out. Opponent Anthony Wayne got his start at the teenage fight club Florida Fight Squad where he built up an impressive resume of five wins, four of which were by KO and three of those that were by spectacular head kick finish. He made the move over to CaliMMA and though he has suffered a couple of losses during his time, for the most part he has been steadily climbing up the ranks and even adding another couple of head kick KO's to the record. Now, with a three fight winning streak behind him, Wayne has earned himself a well deserved shot at the the title. A first for his young career. The champion Abner will be a strong favourite here once more as he has an edge in the key areas of the fight. Wayne is no slouch in the stand up though and has obvious power in his hands. Enough to trouble the new champion for sure. He would just have to be the first person to do it as, so far, no one has really come close. Whatever the result, one fighter that will be watching closely is newly arrived Kimbo Slaissi who made his successful CaliMMA debut and is now firmly established as the next number one contender.

Top Fights for the coming Weekend... CMMA 134 23rd July 2021 205lbs: Light-Heavyweight Fight (#9) Tapu Koko “The Island Guardian (18-7) v (#2) Leonzar Kennedy (9-3) Top 10 ranked light-heavyweights Tapu Koko and Leonzar Kennedy attempt to take the first steps on their comeback trails as both fighters enter the cage coming off of a loss. For Tapu Koko, many believe that the former Island star has had his fifteen minutes of fame and that, at 30 years of age and getting into the game at a more advanced age, there is little chance of him asserting himself as a top fighter in the global light-heavyweight ranks at this point of his career. Whether or not you believe that to be true, Koko still has a part to play for the moment with a sizeable following and a proven ability to find the finish and put on exciting fights. Still, there is no denying that the game seems to be passing him by more and more these days leaving him with, more often than not these days, only a punchers chance. His opponent Leonzar Kennedy will be more than aware of the danger that Koko holds in his hands and keen to push past the heavy-hitting New Zealand native with as little effort as possible. Kennedy has fought he way to the front of the line on no less than two occasions so far but each time has come up short against champion Joe Dinapoli. Though it's been said that Kennedy will need at least a couple of wins in a row before a third shot will given, the prospect of that encounter must be playing on the mind of the #2 contender and something he must contend with before each and every fight. As already mentioned, Koko is largely outgunned in many areas but especially against the elite boxing skills that Kennedy will be bringing to the table. Still, with 17 KO finishes out of 18 wins to his name, Koko will always be a threat until he is put away but this is likely another fight in which he will be the heavy underdog. 265lbs+: Super-Heavyweight Fight (#1) Dan Donovan (7-1) vs. (#7) Viper “Snake” Pitt (10-3) An intriguing trilogy fight at the top end of the super-heavyweight ranks and the added incentive of a title shot going to the victor. Dan “Doughboy” Williams takes on Viper “Snake” Pitt. The odds of a long and successful career are certainly stacked against these two big super-heavyweights as both entered the world of MMA at an age typically considered older than most. Pitt has actually already had a crack at Sean Harrison's super-heavyweight crown but fell far short. For Dan Williams, a title shot would be a career first. Both fighters have one win apiece against each other and will be looking to get ahead in this little rivalry. Clearly both have incredible stopping power with 100% finish rates in their careers and extremely capable of turning the lights out on anyone. One wrong move in this one and it will be all over. Don't blink folks. This isn't likely to go past the first round. CMMA 135 24th July 2021 205lbs: Light-Heavyweight Title Fight (Champion) Joe “Levels” Dinapoli (13-0) vs. (#3) Vito “Firecat” Corleone (9-4) Undefeated Light-Heavyweight star Joe “Levels” Dinapoli is the name on the marquee here tonight as he prepares to make an unprecedented tenth defence of his title belt. The challenger, Vito “Firecat” Corleone is a former C4 champion himself and has earned his way to a shot with wins over ranked contenders Moritz Zimmerman and Jean Lucroy. For Dinapoli, Corleone's challenge will no doubt be a welcome change as he has defeated many of the most immediate threats in the light-heavyweight division. His most recent fight was a rematch against previously defeated Leonzar Kennedy in which Dinapoli improved upon their first meeting with a first round KO in just thirty-five seconds. Truth is that Joe Dinapoli is quickly growing too big for the 360k landscape and if his run of dominance continues he may well find himself surveying the open ID horizon for new challenges. For now however, Dinapoli seems content establishing an unrivalled legacy having recently signed a new contract and will be looking to make a successful tenth defence here tonight. For Vito Corleone, no one can say he hasn't earned this shot. Often times, certain things are simply a matter of timing, and for Corleone he found himself just in the right place as he finished his most recent opponent Jean Lucroy by third round TKO and moved up to #3 off the back of a three fight winning streak. There are a few that believe that Corleone isn't on the same level as Dinapoli and that he stands little chance of taking away his title here. A lot of the time, statements like this end up meaning little in the grand scheme of things and that is exactly what Corleone's following will be hoping. Yes, it's true that Corleone will be a heavy underdog going into this and yes, it's also true that he hasn't managed to reach the same level of success as his opponent as yet but, be that as it may, Corleone has worked hard to get to this position and he will not be denied the opportunity to shine. Can he pull of the upset of the year? Tune in to find out 265lbs: Heavyweight Fight (#2) Kimbo Slaissi (8-0) vs. (#9) Billy “Bulldozer” Blank (7-2) A real treat in the co-main event of this card as undefeated heavyweight juggernaut Kimbo Slaissi makes his first appearance inside of the CaliMMA cage against on fire Billy “Bulldozer” Blank. 8-0 Kimbo Slaissi is a former super-heavyweight champion at Blaze but actually got his start over at unrestricted Odense MMA where he put together an impressive 5-0 run together before adding another three wins and a championship belt to his resume over at Blaze. All wins it must be added have come by KO within the first round. Slaissi certainly has a ton of potential going forward and is still incredibly young at only 21 years of age. He is also a very big heavyweight at two-hundred and eighty-nine pounds which qualifies him for the Super-Heavyweight division here at Cali should he feel the urge (which might actually give current champion Sean Harrison a few sleepless nights). For now though, he arrives in the 265lbs division and is just one successful debut away from a shot at it's title. Opponent Billy Blank isn't going to roll over for Slaissi however and will be aiming to spoil the party before it's even begun. Blank has looked fantastic himself since joining CaliMMA and has managed to defeat everyone put in front of him and rack up a six fight winning streak. This in turn has catapulted him into the top 10 in the division and given him a firm base to take a step into the heavyweight title picture. A win here over the undefeated and highly hyped Kimbo Slaissi would certainly put him right smack bang in the middle of it. Slaissi the slightly more well rounded overall but Blank's sensational boxing skills could be the great equaliser if put to good use. Blank has also yet to lose by KO with his rumoured cast iron jaw so far holding true against the giants he has faced. A big fight for both fighters but a lot of extra pressure will be on Slaissi as he arrives to a large fanfare and expectation. 205lbs: Light-Heavyweight Fight (#5) Elijah Heartless (6-1) vs. (#8) Jeremiah Hill (5-1-1) 6-1 Elijah Heartless, formerly known as Eli Rambeau, makes his first appearance back in the cage after being unceremoniously rage sacked by crybaby Chris Karter. Now under the new tutelage of current #7 ranked manager Guilherme Godoi, Heartless looks to get straight back into winnings ways and perhaps earn a crack at the light-heavyweight title. He'll first have to get past #8 ranked new arrival Jeremiah Hill who is fresh off of his successful CaliMMA debut last time out. Hill, who has spent the majority of his time over at the new defunct C4 organisation will be bringing in a similar record of 5-1-1. 185lbs: Middleweight Fight (#9) Sami "Riista" Rantanen (6-4) vs. (#NR) Kazuki Takeda (6-1) #9 ranked Finnish fighter Sami Rantanen will be looking to get back on the right path after having his impressive form and six fighting winning streak halted by #2 ranked Kyle Switzer in his last bout. He takes on unranked submission specialist Kazuki Takeda who returns after a successful CaliMMA debut last time out and who will be looking to potentially climb inside the top 1000p4p ranks for the first time in his career. A tough comeback fight for Rantanen who will need to rely heavily on his exceptional and superior wrestling skills to keep this fight from hitting the floor. 265lbs+: Super-Heavyweight Fight (#10) Josh “The Cow Tipper” Marmalade (7-4) vs. (#NR) Ghengis Kahn (2-5) Stocky Alabama native Josh Marmalade has been in fine form for best part of half a year but suffered his first loss in five fights last time out as he fell to current #2 Khabib Furguson. He makes his return in the wild lands of the Cali super-heavyweight division against newcomer Ghengis Kahn who comes to Cali with a record of 2-5. A very young prospect with a lot of time ahead of him but a tough debut fight to get him started here. CMMA 136 25th July 2021 185lbs: Middleweight Fight (#NR) Jack “Pumpkin King” Skellington (10-1) vs. (#2) Kyle “Rock N Roll” Switzer (10-2) A big clash in the top ranks for the Cali Middleweight division as the super popular Jack “Pumpkin King” Skellington takes on #2 ranked contender Kyle “Rock N Roll” Switzer. It's going to be a massive jump up in competition for Skellington here who has somehow managed to consistently defy the odds and find a way to defeat his more well rounded opponents. Though half of his 10-1 record has been built in the wild lands of the QFC system, the other half has been just as successful with wins in what is now Wolfpac Fighting Alliance and the defunct C4 organisation. Not quite able to reach the title picture stage as yet but without question a win here would prove his position as a legitimate contender. Opponent Kyle Switzer is a CaliMMA lifer and has grafted his way up the ranks to his current position of #2. Getting his start back at CMMA 18 with a successful debut against Julian Tremblay in which he won by first round KO and began his first streak of wins, Switzer has amassed an impressive 10-2 record and now stands on the precipice of a title shot. If there is a such a thing as a “punchers chance” then surely Skellington is the grappling equivalent. With no discernable striking skills to speak of, he is going to have to somehow navigate first Switzer's high level muay thai and boxing skills just for a chance at getting the fight to the floor and then, if he can do that, he will need to then break down Switzer's solid defensive grappling abilities in order to add to his already impressive list of submission victories. It's safe to say that few are picking Skellington to pull off this mammoth feat and will instead be putting their life savings on Switzer to get the job done and finally earn that elusive shot at the title that he has been missing since starting his MMA career. 155lbs: Lightweight Fight (#1) Evan Duvernay (9-1) vs. (#7) Damian “Snake” Tonon (10-5) Former title challenger Even Duvernay returns to the cage for the first time since losing his debut bid to take the title from Rod De Minuar and he is facing hungry up and comer Damian “Snake” Tonon who is looking for his own shot at the gold. Duvernay isn't used to defeat but that is exactly what he had to deal with following his high profile debut here at CaliMMA. The former C4 champion's run of nine straight wins came to an abrupt halt as he fell to an agonising five round judges decision loss to champion Rod De Minaur that earned them fight of the night honours. Previous to that, Devernay's star had been rising higher and higher as he racked up win after win in various orgs and he will likely be extremely eager to get back into the cage and get things back on track. Damian Tonon is a CaliMMA old guard having got his start back at CMMA 8 in June of 2020. There was a brief and successful spell at Byzantium in between but generally, Tonon has fought the majority of his career here at Cali. He has put together some little runs here and there but largely just skirted underneath the top 10. Now, once again finding some solid form, he has launched himself into the top ten at #x and has a great opportunity to take home a big scalp in Duvernay. Duvernay will be relying heavily on his sensational striking skills to put Tonon away before he can cause any trouble on the ground. 90% of Tonon's wins have come via submission and that's not an area that Duvernay is likely to have spent much time training for. Still, Duvernay hasn't yet found himself tapping to any strange submission holds so far with his single loss coming at the hands of a judges decision. Tonon has been much more up and down over the course of his career and is likely seen as a heavy underdog but with so much to gain with a victory here, many will be rooting for him to pull it off. 135lbs: Bantamweight Fight (#2) Caio Peieira (10-6) vs. (#6) Charlie “Osage” River (1-0 MMA, 11-4 KT) A cracking little fight coming up in the bantamweight division features former featherweight title contender Caio Peieira taking on KT cross over star Charlie “Osage” River. Peieira has had quite the storied career already at CaliMMA having been a mainstay of the 145lbs division for practically the entirety of his professional life. After coming close to the title on a couple of occasions, Peieira accepted the challenge of moving down in weight and has so far been successful. His opponent Charlie River made the jump to MMA after finding his options in the KT world extremely limited. A superb debut in MMA for the Monegaw Springs man saw him knock out opponent Henry Keaty in just a little over a minute of the first round. With such striking pedigree taking on the submission skills of BJJ Brown Belt Peieira, this fight is sure to come to a decisive end. With the winner likely to earn themselves a title shot that would be a very positive outcome indeed. 135lbs: Bantamweight Fight (#NR) Kosmodrom Baikonurov (2-1) vs. (#7) Napoleon Panda (5-3) Elsewhere in the bantamweight ranks, recently successful CaliMMA debutante Napoleon Panda makes his return as he takes on former title contender Kosmodrom Baikonurov. Baikonurov was of course one of the first to fight for the fledgling division title when it opened but was unable to capitalise on the opportunity. Coming in off of a first round TKO victory over Shahram Shiekhan, he will be looking for make the climb back in the the top 10 with a victory over the ranked Panda. With a record of 5-3 and all five wins coming by way of submission however, the BJJ Brown Belt Panda is going to be no pushover at all.

Paddy "360°" Mcgillicutty 5-1-0 335 p4p Your mom gets tapped for numbers on her account.

Paddy "360°" Mcgillicutty 5-1-0 335 p4p After a dissapointing first attempt to get my belt, I turned things around in style and have gone through the Alvarez-family like a knife through butter. 3 guillotine submission wins in a row and what was rightfully mine from the start, is now also officially mine, the Kof-lightweight championship belt. I would like to hereby thank all my fans, who never lost faith in me. I put in the work and reaped the rewards. My manager told me that the org hopes that I'll save an event in the very near future for them. I'm a company man, so I'm all fine with that. Anyways, big stuff in the pipelines as well, and it aren't elephants!
