 Hello everyone, hope you are all doing well, I know I have been hinting at some big news coming soon but had not released it yet, well now is the time! We have been working on this behind the curtains for a while so I am very happy to be able to let you all in on it! 

It is an extreme honor and privilege to announce the combination of BloodBath Fighting Championship and Checkmate Fighting Championship. Together we will become Blood Brothers Fighting Championship.  BBFC will stay 355+ and keep the Open I.D. Division active.  2021 will be amazing for BBFC.  We are combining two great organizations into one legendary one.


 The leadership team will consist of, President - Benjamin Halle, Chief of Staff and Design - Wes Wes and Vice President of Operations - Chris Swimmer.

The transition will begin in February.  If you are currently signed with BFC then all is good nothing will change except bigger fights with more hype and money, for the fighters at Checkmate we will be sending out contracts for BBFC soon. BBFC will start running more events to accommodate the larger roster. Anyone who wants to fight will get their opportunity, this we promise.

Also for the champions of Checkmate, you are going to be granted an immediate title fight against the current BFC champions to see who will be the first champs under the new BBFC banner! 

We are just getting started here and I can't wait to continue to work with all of you and see your fighters grow! 

- Wes Wes

Very disappointing to see Checkmate riding off into the sunset.  Always a bang up job by you Wes, always a first class effort!

I appreciate it truly, you have always been an amazing manager to work with, and your fighters always brought it and still do, and I am excited to work with your fighters under the new banner!

Sad to see Checkmate go, I had a blast keeping my 355k fighter here from the beginnings of Checkmate Fight Night 4, all the way to the event today. Thanks for running such a great org!

Love to hear it was a blast! I always genuinely enjoyed seeing and booking Carlos Villarreal's fights, he is such a scrapper and was always down for a fight, and a true vet for the org! I will try to keep an eye on him in his new journey, wish nothing but the best! Thank you for being apart of it all!

Don't be too sad guys , Checkmate will not dissapear completely, they will just become a part of something bigger and hopefully better . 

BBFC will always have in mind their roots. Either Checkmate , Conquest , Bloodbath FC and others former 355k orgs.

Just enjoy it . It will be brutal and bloody ride. 

100%! It is gonna be something amazing with great roots to grow even more!

That sum bitch hit like a damned mule this time!  Only hit me twice, knocked me on my ass both times.  But you gots do better than that!  I told ya I was gonna get my revenge.  Thanks for keeping the belt warm!  Glad to hold the gold for CheckMate before it moves on.

Revenge was what he wanted and that is surely what he got! Ladies and Gentlemen say hello to just the second ever Lightweight champion in Checkmate history, dethroning the longest reigning champion in the org! Stay tuned for their trilogy fight that will take place at Checkmate Championship 20 to see who will remain or retake the belt in a world class matchup for the finale event under the Checkmate banner before becoming BBFC alongside BFC!

Checkmate Championship 18 Main Event & Co-Main Event Review 

-20210115_155428.jpg?width=234&height=300

Checkmate Championship 18 had some huge names with even bigger results, in the main/co-main event slots we had 4 men who are no stranger to a title fight, and it showed! 

 



- Co-Main Event -


(145 Title) - #2 Magnificent Chulalongkorn (7-2)(5-1 in CC) (FC²) DEF (C) Kevin Walters (8-4)(3-0 in CC) 


How: TKO (Strikes)


When: RD#1


Record Update: Chulalongkorn improves to (8-2). Walters falls to (8-5).


Fight Review: In the Co-Main event, we saw a former champion reclaim his belt over the current champion who claimed his throne with a big upset! 


Round One: Right out of the gate you could see the physical difference between Chulalongkorn this fight compared to his last outing, you could tell he had been training hard for this fight. Early in the round Walters landed a nice double leg and slammed Chulalongkorn down to the mat, where Chulalongkorn was quick to fire off some submission attempts, but nothing really deep. A referee standup was called right around the 3-minute mark, from there Chulalongorn started really landing his combos, and then he landed a big uppercut that sent Walters to the canvas for a moment but then right back on his feet again. Chulalongkorn followed up with a beautiful left hook that dopped Walters once again and he swarmed him until he got the TKO stoppage! 

 

 

 

 


- Main Event -


(155 Title) - #1 Greg Connor (6-1) (6-1 in CC) DEF (C⁵) Cheif Aztec (14-1) (11-1 in CC) 


How: TKO (Strikes)


When: RD#2


Record Update: Connor improves to (7-1). Aztec falls to (14-2).


Fight Review: In the Main Event slot, we saw a rematch between a hungry contender ready for the belt vs the most dominant champion in Checkmate history.


Round One: Connor got cut very early in the round and could barely stand on his own two feet with the number of times he got rocked and knocked down, but Connor wasn't gonna get put out that quick! The round continued with both fighters landing some nice blows and a little clinch action but nothing huge, it was clear both men wanted that belt! 


Round Two: Connor decided it was time to give Aztec a taste of his own medicine in the second round by landing a big right hand that rocked Aztec, it was starting to look like Aztec might've been recovering until Connor landed another HUGE right hand, this time sending Aztec to the cage looking for support, Connor continues the flurry until the referee was forced to stop the fight! 

*Fight of the night 
*Knockout of the night

- Checkmate Championship 19 Spotlight Review -

-1610742034ezgif-7-296454fe3475.gif

Checkmate Championship 19 was filled full of talent and top-notch performances! The highest-rated event! 

 

 

 


- Co-Main Event -


(170 Title) - (C) Potemkin Izmaylov (8-1)(8-1 in CC) DEF #1 Logan Barrengarry (8-2) (7-1 in CC) (FC¹) 


How: KO (Superman Punch)


When: RD#2


Record Update: Izmaylov improves to (9-1). Barrengarry falls to (8-3).

Fight Review: In the Co-Main Event, we saw a fantastic superman KO by the champion Izmaylov to make it 2-0 against the amazing fighter in Logan Barrengarry.


Round One: The fight starts and it looked like Barrengarry was in full control, rocking the champ early in the round, around midway of the round Izmaylov started turning it up and it looked like the fight might be shifting back into his favor now, overall a very close first round. 


Round Two: Bell rings and Barrengarry lands a vicious shot and it looks like the fight is back in his control, back just like the round before, Izmaylov really starts picking it up halfway through the round! Barrengarry was looking gassed and Izmaylov was able to avoid damage, then boom Izmaylov rocks Barrengarry and follows it up by faking a leg kick and throwing a superman punch that shut Barrengarry's lights out! 

*Fight of the night
*KO on the night 

 

 

 

 

- Main Event -


(265 Title) - (C¹) Jax Chambers (9-1) (6-0 in CC) DEF #1 Bubba Wallace (13-1)(5-1 in CC) (FC¹)


How: KO (Punch)


When: RD#1


Record Update: Chambers improves to (10-1). Wallace falls to (13-2).


Fight Review: In the Main Event, we saw a dominant force that is Jax Chambers take on the fellow beast Bubba Wallace in a heavy-handed clash! 


Round One: Wallace gets cut right off the rip! He then gets the fight in the clinch for a very brief moment, Chambers breaks the clinch easily and starts avoiding big punches and landing some nice counters, then right after the 1-minute mark Chambers really opens up Wallace's cut even more which made Chambers even more aggressive sensing the finish, he counters again with a right hand that knocked Wallace to the floor but then gets to his feet quickly, however, Chambers wasn't just gonna let up there! He rocks Wallace once more then lands a huge overhand that connected right on the temple and sends Wallace face-first to the canvas! 


We also got to see


(170) - #4 Ispa Perkele DEF #6 Manco Capac


(185) - #2 Kotaro Kikuta DEF #4 Mitch Malone

- Checkmate Fight Night 15 Main Event & Co-Main Event Review -

-20210129_222101.jpg?width=226&height=300

A short but sweet card, we got to see up and comers as well as a former champion! 

 



- Co-Main Event -


(265) - #4 Jon Nolan (12-4) (10-4 in CC) (FC¹) DEF #8 Sergei MiG (4-1)(2-1 in CC)


How: KO (Punch)


When: RD#1


Record Update: Nolan improves to (13-4). MiG falls to (4-2).


Fight Review: A short bout between a former champion and top contender.


Round One: Nolan knocked MiG pretty early into the round, then put everything together to get a 0:44 second KO to send a message to the rest of the division! 

 

 

 

- Main Event -


(145) - #3 Nou Hematopoye (5-2)(5-2 in CC) DEF #6 Donald Fisher (9-4) (5-3 in CC)


How: Submission (Guillotine)


When: RD#1 


Record Update: Hematopoye improves to (6-2). Fisher falls to (9-5).


Fight Review: We got to see some high-level grappling in this bout which ultimately lead to a beautiful guillotine submission!


Round One: Fisher cut Hematopoye early then took him down and landed in Hematopoye's guard. Fisher tried passing Hematopoye's guard but to no avail, then Hematopoye threw up a submission attempt before getting a nice reversal, but it wasn't long after that Fisher landed a reversal of his own! Then just like before Hematopoye tried for a submission then another reversal, and Fisher reversed again so many reversals! However, that was the last as immediately after that one Hematopoye locked up a guillotine and started squeezing with everything he had and put Fisher out cold!

- Checkmate Championship 20 Preview! -

1611960885CC20.gif

This card is a huge one for Checkmate, as it is out last event under Checkmate before we merge alongside BFC to become BBFC, so we wanted to really do this right, so this card is filled with top ranked fighters from start to finish, you do not wanna miss this card for one second!! 

 


Kicking off the card we will get to see a featherweight tilt between #7 ranked Anderson "Senna" Beach Boy (7-6)(5-4 in CC) and Crotch Chewer (3-3)(2-2 in CC)

 

Boy is coming off a big win over fellow contender Chase Buchanan. Boy has shown some great skills in the cage but has had a hard time putting together a good win streak, he will look to make it two in a row at the expense of his opponent on this card! 

 

Formerly ranked fighter Crotch Chewer has also shown great skills in his outings, with wins over Sammie Conner and Dechlan Tomsett he has put on some great performances, he is currently on a 1 fight win streak as well and wants to put on another great performance. 

 

 

 

Next up, in the welterweight division, we will see #8 Manco Capac (6-4)(4-3 in CC) vs Jorge Adesanya (6-7)(6-6 in CC)

 

Capac recently had his 4 fight win streak snapped by top contender Ispa Perkele, however, now he promises a new version of himself for his opponent and will look to put a cherry on top by getting a big finish and maybe even a bonus! 

 

Adesanya has been with Checkmate for a while and was even apart of the "Knight Battle" tournament a while back, he has hit a bit of a rough spot in his last few outings but still possess the same high-level skill set that he had when he first joined! 

 

 

    
Our third bout of the night will be a heavyweight fight between #7 Banana Republic (5-2)(4-2 in CC) and #9 Deontay DJ (6-6)(5-4 in CC)

 

Republic got himself back into the winner's circle in his last outing against Olusola Oni where he scored a Unanimous Decision victory. Both of his losses are to two of the very best in the division and former champions in Anton Gardner and Jon Nolan, so it takes a world-class fighter to take him out. 

 

 

DJ is coming off a KO loss to Drax Brautista in his last outing, which has made him ultra motivated for his upcoming fight against Republic. Before coming up short in his last outing he was on an impressive 3 fight win streak against some very skilled competition, now he will look to get back to his winning ways and get a big win. 

 

 

 


Next up will be a light-heavyweight clash when #5 Orvar Odd Lodinkinni (7-4)(7-4 in CC) takes on Paolinho Antonio"Caçador De cabeças" Mateis Laeiro (5-3)(0-0 in CC) for our featured fight on the undercard. 

 

Lodinkinni has some big wins over top current/former contenders such as Bobby Bryant, Zane Alexander, Omir Stalingrad, and Onterrio Smith, all by way of TKO/KO, which is a method of choice for Lodinkinni, as all 7 of his wins has also come by TKO/KO, Better keep your chin down when facing this man! 

 

 

Laeiro is coming over from BFC for this bout against Lodinkinni, so we have not been able to see what he can do first hand but let's step out and take a look at what he has done over there. He has won 4 out of his last 6 and looks to be a submission hunter with various submission victories under his belt, along with a brown belt in BJJ it looks like he will be trying to get this fight to the ground to secure another one of his submission wins!  

 

 

Main Card 

 

Getting us started with the main card will be two lightweight hopefuls in #3 Kaino Ukkonen (5-3)(4-3 in CC) vs #4 Alex "The Hitman" Martens (9-4)(1-0 in CC)

 

Ukkonen is coming off one of the biggest wins of his career in his last outing against Volodymyr Pravda back at Checkmate Championship 20 just two weeks ago, now with a quick turnaround, he will look to pick up yet another huge win. 

 

Martens made good on his Checkmate debut back in December 2020 where he took out Carlos Rogan by way of KO in the very first round. 7/9 of his wins have come by way of TKO/KO and the remaining 2 both by decision, now he will look to go 2-0 inside the Checkmate banner! 

     

 


Next, up in the ever so tough welterweight division, we will see the #2 ranked contender and #15 P4P fighter Joad Cressbeckler (9-2)(5-2 in CC)(FC) take on the man right below him in the rankings #3 ranked Alex "Never Quit" Steel Ii (6-4)(6-2 in CC) 

 

Former welterweight king Joad Cressbeckler is coming off two back to back wins over top-ranked opponents in Alec Wolfe and Darry Curtis, defeating Wolfe by Dec and Curtis by TKO. Cressbeckler has stamped himself as one of the best inside Checkmate and his #15 P4P ranking helps reflect that. Now he will be looking to make it a perfect 3/3 in his last 3! 

 


Steel li is coming off a fantastic head kick KO of the Night performance in his last showing against Maximilian Rockatansky back at Checkmate vs BFC 1. Steel li is a fierce striker who loves to get a flashy KO, can he pick up another one over the former champ? 

 

 

 

Next will be a heavyweight fight between undefeated and #2 ranked and #12 P4P Ashwin Tyson (5-0)(4-0 in CC) and former king of the division #6 ranked Anton Gardner (8-6)(3-4 in CC)(FC) 

 

Tyson has not known the taste of defeat so far in his pro MMA career, he is a perfect 5-0 with 5 TKO/KO finishes inside the first round, along with a 1st round KO win in kickboxing, now he will face the biggest giant in a skillset that he has ever faced! Tyson took out a former champion in his last bout against Jon Nolan and now he will look to add another former champion's name to his list of victims! 

 

Gardner has beaten some of the very best in the division, during his championship and outside of it, Gardner has remained a heavy-handed striker that loves to get a vicious KO/TKO! Gardner also has a win over Jon Nolan, that is how he got the belt for the Checkmate Heavyweight division, now he will be looking to ruin the perfect record of Tyson and mark his name on his record forever!  

 

 


For our Co-Main event of the night, the light-heavyweight belt will be on the line when reigning champion and #6 P4P (C¹) Choctaw Bloode (8-2)(5-2 in CC) looks to lock up with the #3 ranked Hurricane Defoe (7-1)(7-1 in CC) once again in a rematch for the ages! 

 

#6 ranked P4P and current Light-Heavyweight champion Choctaw Bloode has really climbed the rankings in his Checkmate career, he struggled to get his footing inside the org but once he got going he took off like a freight train! Bloode is currently on a 5 fight win streak all against terrifying opponents! He pulled off a big upset in his first title fight where he faced Blake Phoenix who was a perfect 8-0 and looked unbeatable, well that is until Bloode did exactly that of course. Bloode then turned around and defended his strap in a very close fight against long time contender Clinch King Smash Machine. Now he will be looking to make good on the second defense of his title! 

 

Defoe will be looking to right his wrong in this bout, his one and the only blemish on his record is against the foe and current champion he will be facing. Defoe has grown tremendously since their first outing and wants to really prove that to everyone by not just redeeming his loss but by doing it in a dominant fashion, yes, I have heard he doesn't just want the strap, he wants to prove a point to himself, his opponent, the division, and everyone watching, but to do so he will have to take down the beast that is Choctaw Bloode, can he do it?!

 

 

In our Main Event of the night, we will see a trilogy fight to determine it all when the newly crowned champ and #4 P4P ranked (C) Greg "No Chance" Connor (7-1)(7-1 in CC) takes on the dominant force in #1 ranked and #5 P4P ranked fighter Chief "Crazy" Aztec (14-2)(11-2 in CC)

 

 

Connor did the unthinkable in his last fight with Aztec, he gave Aztec his 1 and only loss at 155 pounds, he knew he was capable of it too, he carried himself as the champion before he was even champion, which I believe paid dividends to his last performance and the ones before that, he has taken all 3 out of 5 of the top-ranked lightweight fighters in the Checkmate rankings. Connor wants to bank another big win over Aztec before the big merge with BFC to create the new BBFC banner, and what better way to send a message to the rest of the 155 division than to do what no other man has ever done across any weightless against Aztec, and that is to beat him twice! 

 

 

Aztec as I am sure you all know has been sorta the unofficial face of Checkmate for a while, he has the most defenses of any champion, and has wins over some of the best we have ever seen, including one over the current champion, but with that win, he carries there is also a loss, as stated in Connor's write up Aztec took his first 155 loss to Connor, Aztec is really fired up for this trilogy, which will also be the very first trilogy of his career and might be the first trilogy of Checkmate, could be history here! This is the first time in a while Aztec will go into a without having his belt alongside him, however, I don't think Aztec is a materialistic type of guy, but I do know he will be more motivated than ever for this fight to maintain his image and legacy before the merge! 

 

Both of these men have a win over the other by way of TKO, so now the question is, who takes this rubber match?!?!?!
