HFC KO 2 - Havoc Vs. Cabrera Event Review

Folks, this night was just bonkers. The Champ VS. Champ fight gave us 3 action packed rounds, KO’s were all over the place and statements were made by multiple fighters saying “I am here come and get it”. After a night like this, the HFC is extremely excited. They will have their hands full getting the rankings in order as there is sooo much great talent in this Organization. President J.W. Hardman embraces the challenge. “It gets tougher every week, but I love it. Every event is bigger, all our fighters are improving, and our roster continues to grow. Me and the HFC team are processing all of this and making great cards every week”. Let’s jump into this card and look at the fights.

 

©Heller Cabrera (10-1) defeats ©“The Maniac” Wreak Havoc (11-3) via Decision (Unanimous) - 145lb Featherweight non-title cross promotion bout (Fight of Night).

Tonight was not Havoc’s night. Our champ fought valiantly through three brutal rounds. Cabrera’s punching was just relentless, he ripened the body and face of our beloved Havoc. Post fight Havoc said “Man, tonight I was outclassed, going in, we knew his boxing was top class but when you’re in there live it's just different”. We know our champ will be back stronger than ever defending his belt against a hungry opponent soon. I will say this must be encouraging for any HFC 145lb contender; the champ can be beaten. Hats off to Cabrera, he is only 20 years old and clearly has a bright future. Perhaps another super fight between HFC and WolfPac Fighting Alliance can take place in the future.

 

Conor “Eat Meat” Butcher (6-0) defeats Arnao Vanegas (4-2) via 1st round TKO (Strikes) - 155lb Lightweight bout.

It's really rare I get to use a quote from my event preview in my post fight write up, but….drum roll please…. “Conor Butcher gets a fresh slab of meat after he finishes Arnao with some nasty ground and pound.” - Me HFC KO 2 Preview. This tells the whole story folks. Quick takedown for Butcher early in round one, move to mount, proceed to bash and then proceed to party. Conor Butcher now sits at #2 in the rankings, we will keep an eye on this red hot undefeated contender.

 

Boris Balkan (3-0) defeats Fred Freds (4-3) via 2nd round KO (Punches) - 265lb Heavyweight bout.

Boris Balkan confirmed what pretty much all of us thought. He is pretty darn good. By knocking out Freds he solidified himself in the top ten and could be drawing a legitimate contender next. “I'm excited” Boris said, “I know I'm the young buck of the division but when the ref says “fight” does age really matter?.... No! Skill, size and strength matter, and in those aspects I am willing to compete with ANYONE”. Strong words from a brute of a man, another fun prospect to keep an eye on. On the other side Freds needs to get back in the W column. Look for him to draw a top 15 opponent next.

 

John “Horse” Henry (5-1) defeats Mild “Peppa” Paplano (3-1) - 155lb Lightweight bout.

Here’s a great example of a pre-fight prediction being wayyy off. We thought this would be a back and forth chess match with each fighter feeling each other out for a bit. Henry was having none of that. Out of nowhere, less than a minute in, John “Horse” Henry unloaded a bomb that put Paplano down. We all knew Paplano had to get the fight to the ground for him to stand (pun intended) a chance. Henry knew if that did happen it would not be good. Hats off to Henry for great execution, he is rewarded with a place in the top 10 and KO of the Night Honors.

 

UnderCard

Such a great undercard. The judges took the early part of the night off as every fight was a finish. I swear after the third fight they just stopped working for a while and took a break. Shout out to Balink Tarlah as he deservingly cracks the 155lb top 10 rankings for the first time after his performance. Every fighter that won on the undercard is now ranked somewhere in the top 10 of their divisions. HFC does a great job of keeping their fighters active, and making fights that promote healthy division movement.

155 lbs

Balink Tarlah defeats Drapton Heed 2nd round TKO (Strikes)

145 lbs

Justin Case defeats Kevin Walters 1st round TKO (Strikes)

135 lbs

Lorenzo Bataglia defeats Jack Sparrow 1st round TKO (Strikes)

265+ lbs

Rogerio Duarte defeats Lug Luger 1st round KO (Punch)

265 lbs

Folks we are proud and honored to bring you a night of fights. On behalf of the HARDCORE Fighting Championship we hope you enjoyed and fight on!

HFC 17- TRAGEDY VS ROCCA

 

Hello and welcome back ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls to the preview of yet another very exciting and highly anticipated event in our great organization, With me Matty Fernandez bringing to you all the information that you need of all of the brave warriors who will take to the cage to battle it out for glory to get one step closer to their respective dreams and therefore without much more delay let's take a look at what we have in store for you in the event.

 

(UNDERCARD BOUTS)

The undercard bouts for this event is mostly based on the strategy of giving all the fighters in the organization exposure to big events because although there might not be any big names fighting in the undercard, which should not be the case anyway, there are some very tasty looking matchups to look forward to so without any further delay let's take a look at them.

 

1. Animal Baldwin vs Fitz "The Schoolyard Bully" Miz (HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT [265 LBS])

 

Now this is a classic fight among two very contrasting style of fighters. One a standup fighter the other a submission artist, and that is exactly what makes this a very interesting fight to watch.

Animal Baldwin is a very decent submission artist with a good ground game who can definitely shake up some of the very top fighters in the division if you pure and simply fight him on the ground, but then when you stand up and fight with him well let's just say his striking is not good enough and therefore he will get KO'ed more often than not and therefore with a record of (3 wins and 3 losses) he will look to win this fight to slowly start his climb up the rankings once again.

Now Fitz Miz is a guy whose record when seen will tell you the story of his career so far really. He has never before won a fight in any organization of any sorts as all of his wins have come through QFC fights which really does not bode too for him or his career. But after losing his previous 2 fights in (HFC) and with a professional record of (5 wins and 5 losses) he will be desperate to win this fight to somewhat get some confidence back in himself that he can actually win fights and stop the massive downward trajectory that his career has been on recently.

 

~ PREDICTION: ANIMAL BALDWIN WINS VIA SUBMISSION (ROUND 2)

 

2. Hughie "Shug" McFee vs Trey "Devil Child" DeVell (LIGHTWEIGHT BOUT [155 LBS])

 

So Hughie McFee, now where can i start with this guy, well let's start with this. He was a former (SMASH) (LIGHTWEIGHT) title challenger, but unfortunately he came out second best in the title fight and since then his career it seems like has simply fallen off a cliff, mind you he was (6 wins 0 loss) before the title fight but since then he has lost all 4 of his fights with some pretty atrocious performances down the line and therefore with a professional record of (6 wins and 4 losses) he will be desperate to get his career back on track with a win in this fight or he might be on borrowed time in the organization.

 

Now Trey DeVell is a relative newcomer to the sport of MMA and his professional record of (2 wins 1 loss) also does nothing to prove my statement wrong too, add to that this is probably going to be his first fight in a major organization, well he has got a lot of work cut out for him to impress the supporters and make a name for himself in this organization and therefore he will be looking to win this fight to start off his career at HFC in the best possible way and shut off many of his doubters who say that he is not good enough for HFC.

 

~ PREDICTION: TREY DEVELL WINS VIA UNANIMOUS DECISION (ROUND 3)

 

3. Darren " Afro Ninja" Lloyd vs Alexanderovski Volkan (LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT [205 LBS])

 

Darren Lloyd is a up and coming prospect in the organization who has got one of the most deadly ground game in the whole division. He has spent nearly all of his young career at HFC but he has not fought in an event for a fairly long time and therefore rustiness might kick in for him in this fight.But nonetheless with a professional record of (2 wins 2 losses) he will hope to win this fight to get back to winning ways after his disappointing defeat in his previous fight and build momentum to break into the rankings in the future.

 

His opponent, Alexanderovski Volkan is a completely different style of fighter compared to him. Volkan is a standup specialist as he is a great boxer but in his defence of his grappling i would say he is a decent wrestler too, but after losing his HFC debut his career has stagnated a bit and with both the wins in his career coming in QFC fights people have been quick to question about his spot in HFC and therefore with a professional record of (2 wins and 1 loss) he will be hoping to win this fight to prove to everyone as well as himself that he is more than capable of fighting in a major organization like HFC.

 

~ PREDICTION: DARREN LlOYD WINS VIA SUBMISSION (ROUND 1)

 

4. Jake Demuss vs "The Dark One" Brown Down (HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT [265 LBS])

 

For a guy who has such lethal striking and a fantastic standup game Jake Demuss has massively underperformed in his career. Add to that he has not fought in HFC after its merging with SMASH, it paints for a real grim picture for him and therefore he is now trying to make up for lost time as a result he is always on the back foot trying to catch up to his own potential. So with a professional record of (2 wins 2 losses) he will be desperate for a win in this fight as he knows this might be a make or break fight for him in terms of resurrecting his career once again.

 

Now if you think the part above is grim think again because Brown down is a outstanding boxer who has a professional record of (0 wins 2 losses) yeah, you've seen it right. Now this guy is young and very talented but he has also not been active for a pretty long time which is rather concerning for young fighters.And so he might be desperate too but i will say that he absolutely needs to win this fight no matter what otherwise, his future here in HFC might be coming under serious scrutiny.

 

~ PREDICTION: JAKE DEMUSS WINS VIA TKO (ROUND 2)

 

5. Dmitry " Maz" Mazanov vs Toson "Ghost" Yada (LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT [205 LBS])

 

Dmitry Mazanov is a boxer and also a newcomer to the sport. In his two fights up until now in his career he has a professional record of (1 win 1 loss) with the loss coming against a top #5 ranked fighter currently in Dillion Van Barle and therefore we should not judge him by that because he is simply not ready for the big fights quite yet ,but now he has got another shot of breaking into the top #10 with yet another big fight for him personally and therefore he will be hoping to win this fight to finally break into the top #10 in the second time of asking and finally show everyone why he is so highly rated by the organization.

 

Now Toson Yada is a submission artist who probably is the most skillful fighter on the ground in regards to the LIGHT- HEAVYWEIGHT division. At one point of time in probably the last event of HFC before merging with SMASH he won the LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT title in a thrilling encounter which made people take notice of him till a certain point of time as that title fight somehow ended up becoming his last fight until this one and therefore after such a long break he will once again have to start from scratch and so he will be looking to win this fight to once again build up his reputation among the public slowly and also take baby steps towards yet another title fight in the future.

 

~ PREDICTION: TOSON YADA WINS VIA SUBMISSION (ROUND 1)

 

 

(MAIN CARD)

 

At this time, i always say the same thing and therefore why make today any different. So guys the time for the fun and games is over and now it's time for the big boys to step foot inside the cage and give you guys exactly what you have been waiting for this entire time so, here, we, go!

 

6. Jorge "The Python" Galvao vs Nate "BMF" Masvidal (MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT [185 LBS])

Jorge Galvao is a submission specialist who has spent all of his career fighting in HFC and SMASH. He has a fantastic ground game which can match anyone in HFC but just like any grappler his weak point is when you try and box with him and when you start using your muay thai because he simply does not have it in him to out strike any opponent no matter who he is and therefore with a professional record of (3 wins and 2 losses) he will be absolutely desperate to win this fight to start moving in an upward trajectory in his career once again and hopefully break into the top #10 in the near future.

 

Now Nate Masvidal is a pure boxer and striker who had a flying start to his career which resulted in him being one of the top ranked fighters of SMASH, but then like most people with a promising start to their careers his too fell off a clif which resulted in him going on for a 3 fight losing streak which was finally broken in his last fight.And therefore with a professional record of (5 wins and 3 losses) he will be looking to win this fight to continue his winning run and potentially get a top #10 opponent next up.

 

~ PREDICTION: NATE MASVIDAL WINS VIA TKO (ROUND 1)

 

7. Kuuri "Ku-San" Sandro vs Tashiro "Sugar" Sugawara (LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT [205 LBS])

 

When you look at Kuuri Sandro you would see a blend of a good wrestler and a good MUAY THAI artist but you really will not find anything special in him to be really honest. His career has had some up and downs throughout with the ups being the win over kordell harris and there are plenty of lows to choose from so that does not count as a result he has never really settled in the organization as a established fighter due to his unpredictable career path and therefore with a professional record of (3 wins and 4 losses) he will be absolute desperate to win this fight to finally kickstart his career in HFC the right way once and for all.

 

A former (CORE COMBAT) LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT champion, Tashiro Sugawara was expected to do some special things in HFC after joining them but has since failed to live upto his expectation to a certain point because although he managed a good win against Daryl Lloyd in a fight, but he has also lost his title in HFC and in his previous fight against a top ranked fighter in the division, he simply did not turn up for the fight and subsequently lost it.But with his fantastic ground game and a professional record of (3 wins and 2 losses) he will be looking to win this fight to stay in contention for another shot at a potential top #5 ranked LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT fighter in the near future.

 

~ PREDICTION: TASHIRO SUGAWARA WINS VIA SUBMISSION (ROUND 1)

 

8. "The Anaconda" Henri Kirchen vs Kirill "Shan" Semenov (HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT [265 LBS])

 

Now this is nothing else but a straight up title eliminator fight to determine the next challenger to Lynch Boshank fot the HEAVYWEIGHT title.

Henri Kirchen is a outstanding Wrestler who has a decent ground game in him to aid him for the submissions on the ground. He was formerly fighting in (island season 10) but he knew that he was better than that and therefore he made his big move to HFC and in his previous fight which was also his HFC debut he won his fight against a top ranked fighter in the HEAVYWEIGHT division which catapulted him towards the #2 spot in the rankings and therefore now going towards probably the biggest fight of his career up to date Henri with a professional record of (4 wins and 1 loss) will look to win this fight to book his spot as the no #1 contender for the title and subsequently earn a title shot in his next fight.

 

Now Kirill Semenov's case is the exact opposite of his opponent as he is a boxer, a very good one to be exact who has had a very steady career up to date add to that he is also the current no #1 contender to the title well, life can't get much better, but it all could have gone horribly wrong as when he first signed for HFC there was massive hype surrounding him so much so that he got a top #5 ranked fighter in his debut fight here. But then he was brought back to reality as he lost that fight, but then he started to realise that it was not going to be easy sailing in this organization whatsoever which resulted in him working even harder in train and as a result in his second fight against another top #5 contender he simply outclassed his opponent and hence he is the no #1 contender at this present time. So he will be looking to win this fight to once and for all book his spot in the title fight which will happen at some point in the near future.

 

~ PREDICTION: HENRI KIRCHEN WINS VIA SUBMISSION (ROUND 2)

 

(CO-MAIN EVENT)

 

Here it is people we have finally arrived to the penultimate fight of this evening which features two of the very best fighters and top #10 ranked HEAVYWEIGHTS in HFC currently and therefore without further adieu let's take a look at them.

 

9. Jack "Captain" Sparrow vs Keon "Pound Dog" Douglas (HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT [265 LBS])

 

Now Jack Sparrow is a very interesting fighter to look at really because when you look at his professional record of (5 wins and 2 losses) you might feel like yeah, he has actually won some fights.But the truth of the matter is that he has never really fought with an absolute top level fighter at the peak of his ability as he has mostly fought guys around or just below him and therefore when his first real big test came in his previous fight with Kirill Semenov he failed the test and lost the fight which ended up costing him a few places in the rankings and therefore he will look to win this fight to get back on the winning track and restart his climb towards a future title shot once again.

 

Now Keon Douglas is predominantly a boxer and a wrestler who has a professional record of (4 wins and 1 loss). His career started with an absolute bang and with four victories on the trot he was considered one of the best prospects for the future but then in his previous fight against a top #5 ranked opponent his career came to a stagnating halt as he lost in most probably the biggest fight of his short career so far and therefore he lost out an opportunity to be the no #1 contender to the title. So he will be desperate to win this fight to get back to winning ways and climb up the rankings towards his dream title shot.

 

~ PREDICTION: JACK SPARROW WINS VIA SUBMISSION (ROUND 2)

 

 

(MAIN EVENT)

 

So finally after a night of some crazy fights we have once again arrived to the the fiight you all have been waiting for live from the sold out Hayashi's lounge in Rio Di Janiero {BRASIL} its time for the main event of the evening.

10. Trage "Edy" Tragedy vs Rancid "Reno" Rocca (MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT [185 LBS])

 

Now when you see a guy who is very good in the ground and not too good in the standup or vice-versa you always start to think what if he had both the ground game as well as the striking game, how dangerous he would be, well folks forget dreaming or thinking because in Trage Tragedy we have got one of the most well balanced fighters in terms of skills that we have seen in HFC for quite a while. This guy has literally got everything from striking to submission everything. But unfortunately that did not come to his rescue in his previous fight which was a title fight where he was sadly humiliated in the very first round as he got Knocked out, and therefore with a professional record of (10 wins and 2 losses) he will look to win this fight to put his defeat in the previous fight well and truly behind him and look upwards again towards another title shot in the near future.

 

As far as his opponent is concerned, Rancid Rocca is yet another very balanced, very well rounded fighter in this MIDDLEWEIGHT division although not as highly skilled as Trage Tragedy though, but he is a former (BLOODBATH FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP) MIDDLEWEIGHT title challenger who has got a professional record of (9 wins and 3 losses). He has got a problem of not turning up for the big fights in his career which was pretty evident in his previous fight with top ranked Roona Chooga and his title fight in BFC and therefore there have been some people who have started to question his spot in the top #5 of the rankings for some time now and therefore he would want to win this fight to once and for all shut down all his doubters and get on step closer to that title shot that he has been dreaming of throughout his time at HFC.

 

~ PREDICTION: TRAGE TRAGEDY WINS VIA TKO (ROUND 3)

 

SO THIS WILL BRING US TO THE END OF YET ANOTHER EXCITING ROUND OF FIGHTS HERE IN HFC

HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED THE PREVIEW AND

UNTIL NEXT TIME HAVE STAY SAFE AND HAVE A GREAT DAY

HFC Bloodbath 1

Oh my, oh may. Hilo, that's right Hilo,Hawaii we are coming, and quite frankly we are very excited about it. President J. W. Hardman already approved my request for a pool facing balcony room and I heard the resort has bottomless Pina Coladas. While I will be indulging the fighters all have serious tasks on their hands., Hilo will serve as a battle ground once again. HFC matchmaker Igor Peixoto was ecstatic to bring such a stacked card to Hilo. “We love this place, the fans, the energy, the food. Certain fighters seek these types of events out. You can see it on fight night. Conversely, Island haze is real. The long flights, island distractions, if you are not locked in, come fight night it shows. I expect a lot of crazy fights, with unexpected endings”. I agree with Igor, this card has all the makings for unexpected finishes and a wild night. Let's take a look at the line-eup.

 

185lbChampion Rob Tanner (9-1) vs #1 Contender Hefty "Lumber" Jack (7-1) - 185lb Championship Bout

To be straightforward, Rob Tanner has just been knocking everybody out. He’s riding a brilliant 6 fight win streak, all by KO or TKO. He is a Muay Thai fighter and will look to make it 7 KO’s in a row in this fight. His opponent will be a “Hefty” task. Hefty "Lumber" Jack has only had one loss and could kryptonite for Tanner on the ground. Hefty is a great wrestler and has a solid bjj game. His standup still needs to be developed. Keep in mind Tanner also has some sneaky good bjj that he can utilize. This has the makings of a classic, edge has to go to the champ but the challenger has legit shot here folks.

Prediction: First round is back and forth with the champ landing shots early but conceding a takedown and receiving some gnp for the rest of the round. At the start of the second the champ connects with a brutal combo of punches that ends the fight. Rob Tanner Winner by KO (punches). The champ snatches the mic from Joe Rogan after the fight and makes a beautiful tribute to Hawaii.

#2 Gunner "Gunni" Larsson (11-4) vs #3 Manolito Tai Kung (6-1) - 170lb Bout

What a great fight that really needs to happen. Look both guys lost to current 170lb champ Samuel Rodrigues. That happens you can dwell or move on. Now both guys get a chance at redemption. Whoever wins, could get a title shot, a title eliminator fight, or another top 3 opponent. All really good things. Matchup wise this is very similar to the one above. We have two solid bjj practitioners who each have a specialty elsewhere. Kung is an exceptional Muay Thai practitioner and wants to strike. Larsson will look to wrestle and gnp. Who’s agenda will be adhered too?

Prediction: Kung does damage with his hands, feet and elbows. However, Larsson manges to secure a big takedown in the 2nd round and gnp his way to victory.

 

#5 Cranky Smith (6-0) vs #7 Rodrigo "The Black Mamba" Lima (7-3) - 145lb Bout

Two top ten featherweights duking it out. The winner takes a nice step forward towards a title run. Two people with the same agenda here. Both want to wrestle and both will look for submissions. Expect high level grappling displayed throughout.

Prediction: Cranky Smith throws a tantrum and chokes out Lima in the second. Post fight, Smith gets emotional on the mic saying he didn't get his traditional pre-fight nap and therefore was feeling a little “cranky” otherwise he would have won in the first round.

 

RJ Cain (6-2) vs Ivar "Boneless" Lothbrook (4-3) - 170lb Bout

On paper Cain should have no trouble at all with this fight. Cain is an amazing boxer but also has a some really solid ground game. Lothbrook is great at bjj but could have his handsfull in all other aspects of the fight.

Prediction: Cain does what he came here to do. He makes short work of Lothbrook with some nasty punches in the first. Cain the calls for a top ten 170lb fighter claiming he is already better than anyone outside the top 5...

Undercard

Look below, what do you see? A list of killers my friends. We will watch all of these and keep you updated on the results. President Hardman is a generous man. Undercard performers are eligible for KO of the Night, Fight of the Night and Submission of the night.

We have a special write up to welcome a new talented fighter to the HFC!

Dre "Deathrow" Battle

https://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=350622

Dr. Dre 2001 “What’s The Difference” bumping in Dre’s headphones. He is just finishing his last set of squats. A young Dre’s future was always so uncertain, but now finally, it is all so clear.

Dre “Deathrow Battle” likes to keep to himself. He only agreed to talk with me after HFC officials included this interview in his fight contract. For now Dre is an unknown commodity, but that's okay with him. “There’ll be time for all that,” he says. “My first goal is to get off probation and get my baby mama paid, once that happens you will see this star shine”. Dre was on a certain path of destruction if famed MMA manager Chris Karter didn't step in. Dre grew up in the ghetto of Los Angeles and has been fighting his whole life. He is blessed with an insane work ethic, a pure heart and some freak athletic abilities.

Chris Karter was in a neighborhood he usually would never be in. On one random Tuesday, Chris wanted to save $15, so he went across town for a cheaper car wash. On the way he witnessed three men try to jump Dre for his sneakers. All three were Ko’d within 30 seconds. Chris pulled over immediately and introduced himself. It has taken years for Chris to build trust with Dre. Now, for the first time in his life, Dre “Deathrow”Battle is building some positive momentum. Reports are, he is a beast in training. Stories of him sparring are circulating through the community. He will knock you out, or take you down and gnp you. Oh yeah, he is also a purple belt in bjj. HFC Middleweight division consider yourself warned.

Dre was recently signed to HARDCORE Fighting Championship and HFC president J.W. Hardman was very glad to welcome him. President Hardman said this, “We know Dre has had a tough life. He is welcome here. We have a great respect for his manager Mr. Karter, and we are excited to see Dre flourish here in the HFC.”

Keep an eye out for Dre Battle’s HFC debut on 5/16 at HFC 19 Vs. Samson Komua (another young highly trained dangeroussss man). As excited as we are to see Dre make his HFC debut and begin his journey towards greatness; we know the HFC is filled with the world's most dangerous men. His journey will be a challenging one. We are all very excited to welcome Dre “Deathrow” Battle and are eager to be a witness to his upcoming battles.

[Rambo]

Chris Karter's variation of events are vastly different.

 

He recalls saving Dre from excessively beating down an entourage of female hookers. They had stilettos, and all he had was his almighty pimp hand. After witnessing Dre slap women around like they owed him money and he was a Pimp Named Slickback, Karter waited for him to say the pimps prayer to these bitches before he gave him an address to a gym.

 

Dre thought it was legal to slap his hoes, Karter assured him it wasn't. Dre thinks Chris Karter is his lawyer and hasn't grasped the concept of MMA manager, but somehow a scumbag like Chris Karter is helping Dre become a slightly less useless member of society.

 

Chris Karter denies the use of prostitutes in America, but he's always been a fan of a cheap carwash.

HARDCORE Fighting Championship Breaking News

We have a huge announcement. Hardcore Fighting Championships will be acquiring Madness MMA. Both are top 20 organizations that are filled with talent. Madness Owner Butch Harris has done great work. He will be around as a key consultant throughout this gradual transition process. HFC President J.W. Hardman was humbled, thrilled and extremely optimistic about things to come. “Butch and I have worked together for a long time. When you show up and put the work in everyday, eventually big things come to fruition. Now, after continued efforts from Madnesss MMA and the entire HFC team, huge things are happening for HARDCORE Fighting Championships. This will mean more fighters, better fights, bigger venues, more hype and bigger paydays for everyone”.

Great words from the President. The future looks very bright for HARDCORE Fighting Championship.

 

Moving Forward: If you are a current HFC fighter things will remain essentially the same. All current contracts are still valid and all current champs will remain as such. Any scheduled HFC event will take place as planned. Over the next few months we will be integrating the Madness MMA roster into our roster. Madness MMA Champions will get title shots for HFC belts in their respective divisions. Those will be super fights! The Madness belts will not be stripped but will not be active. Madness contenders will be considered in the HFC rankings as they are integrated.

 

For current Madness fighters, executives from both organizations will be in touch. As we said this process will be gradual. We are expecting most title fights to occur over Summer (Winter for our Southern Hemisphere Friends). Be assured you have a home at HFC.

Also the MAFF belt will be transitioned to HFC, that tradition will be kept alive in honor of the pioneer Butch Harris.

 

This is a great thing. How fun is it to be part of a fast rising organization? I will admit, it is fun at the top. But is it not even better when you start from the bottom and get to experience the rise? I think there is a song about that from one of our favourite Canadian Rappers. His name is Drake, look for him cageside at our events.

Anyways I digress; at the time of me writing this article HFC is #14 in hype and Madness MMA is #18. By adding Madness’s stacked roster to HFC’s already growing organization, we have an opportunity for rapid growth. Projections show us being top ten by end of summer. Those projections were done by me in my basement with a stopwatch and a ruler but you get the point.

 

From the entire HARDCORE Fighting Championship Team we thank you, and are excited for everyone to enjoy the good fortunes soon to come. As usual FIGHT ON!

[robin10]

wow! this great news man.

JW hats off mate and Butch you have done a great job so far by bringing Madness mma to where it is now, you deserve a rest now brother.

Greatness awaits. Champs vs Champs, new contenders ready to throw down.. This is about to be a work of art.. true Hardcore Madness at it's finest.

We welcome the Madness roster with open arms as the HFC steps into the future with the best 350k roster in the world and some of the greatest managers to even play the game.

 

1 day late, but truly an amazing birthday gift I have been given, and a tremendous honor of working with these managers and this talented roster.

[HareRumpler]

Hey guys...so first, let me say that while Butch will certainly be missed, and I have very much enjoyed his efforts and what he's done with Madness, I'm also excited about what the future holds and being a part of HFC! I know you guys will hold onto some of the spirit and traditions of Madness for Butch, and that's encouraging and cool.

 

I do have some questions that I figured a lot of folks might have and might be better served here, so I figured let me put them here real quick. And it may be that I just wasn't quite clear on how the multiple orgs within the HFC umbrella will work going foward. First...from what I can tell, Madness had a what, 250+ roster or something like that...and HFC last I looked was a little over 220+?

 

My question is this, if the Madness roster is absorbed,

1) is there going to be a glut of fighters in each division that creates a sort of "lost in the pack" feel for a lot of fighters with divisions of 40+?

2) If so, will it reduce down belt opportunities obviously by the loss of the other org and kinda limit upward mobility for a lot of fighters due to having so many in each division?

3) if that's not the case, are you spinning more of them off into a separate division that is more developmental? and if not...

4) Is there a chance that with the absorption and loss of Madness that some of the less developed, lower level fighters may find themselves homeless in the long run? I know that some of that is a natural thing in MMAT, and for them it may be time to consider whether the fighter was worth continuing with at all...but just trying to figure out what this means for a lot of fighters given there are so many affected, and given that Madness had such a large roster to begin with.

 

I have full confidence you guys are going to do a fantastic job of managing this. Thanks guys!

[Django]

Thanks Hare...my thoughts exactly. Size matters.

[Monsieur.Camara]

Thanks Hare...my thoughts exactly. Size matters.

 

In my experience any org past 175 fighters becomes such a chore with so many events to book to keep everybody busy.

 

I have seen it time and time again since the 310k`s (which is when I started). I`m actually surprised Butch lasted this long honest kudos to him.

 

To me, you have to ask yourself 2 questions:

 

1) What is the identity of your org? (The best? The first? The most fair? Mid Tier? Niche org? Freakshow org? etc.)

 

2) What is the purpose of your org? (To make money? Top 10? to be a staple into unrestricted ID? to become a feeder org? etc.)

 

I will give my answers for my org FARTMMA. I hope some insight helps you along your journey...

 

For me:

 

R1) Fair fights only: This is our motto and almost every event you see Draws, split decisions, majority decisions etc. Some of the most brutal, fair fights in the business. This is how Grumpy taught me and there is a good reason his name (at the time) is on the name (the FART part, he was known as the Fart Master back then when he mentored me). Grumpy taught me that without noob managers there is no Tycoon. Simple, let that sink in for a moment...

 

Without noob managers winning every now and then and buying VIP it would be just me, Karter and Valentina fighting each other every week. That`s fucking boring. Just last year we could not find a New Manager of the Year for the longest time lol .

 

I spend 80% of my time matchmaking. The bottom portion of my cards I micromanage. I`m basically looking for these fights lol

 

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentaryold.php?FTID=1003795

 

That might not be the best example as Ken Takahashi is a stud but you get my drift

 

I`ve had so many chances of filling up my roster with high Hyped fighters but that was never the identity I was looking for. I always sought to build a place where only the toughest managers fought and they fought early. FARTMMA is not for everybody, you have to be willing to lose to be legendary here.

 

R2) To Grow the game and become a staple unrestricted org: I never kick fighters out of my roster. I don`t care if your record is 3-19 if you are willing to fight I will find you a fair opponent and fair fights you shall have.

 

This is where I dedicate the MMA part of the FARTMMA name to GAMMA. 10 years in the business is ridic respect. The purpose of my org is to join GAMMA one day in the top 5 Unrestricted. Simple.

 

To grow the game, to push managers to want to learn. I want it to be the place where fighters ike this one go on fair winning streaks aftre a tought start:

 

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=349202

 

I don`t care about Hype, money? fuck money I give away as much VIP as I miraculously get so never paid a dime to play this game don`t plan on lol.

 

Anyways.

 

There you have it, I hope this helps you in the direction you take both orgs. Let me just tell you, once you are rolling 300 fighters and 3-4 events a week the diminishing returns of having more than 1 event per week will mathematically make reaching the top 10 an impossibility.

 

Good luck

[Bleakardor]

Good attempt to hijack our thread man... You make some valid points, but this is not about FARTMMA.

As to the questions presented by Hare, those I will answer here and thank you for them because these are things I need to address.

 

1) is there going to be a glut of fighters in each division that creates a sort of "lost in the pack" feel for a lot of fighters with divisions of 40+?

 

a) No, this is a process but we are not bringing over the entire roster. There are several 25 YO creations who have been put on loan to FB&E, those will have the option to join HFC instead of Madness, but they would have to agree to terms prior to Madness releasing them or get FB&E to release them so that they can be traded over. Secondly, HFC started off as a 355k+ org. Upon the SMASH merger we moved to 350k+. This did cause several managers concern, but we were always able to offer them competitive and fair fights, and that hasn't changed. In recent weeks, we have started sending our lesser developed fighters (355k+) over to BFC to compete with a better group of fighters for them. This is in an effort to help both HFC and BFC have a solid core of fighters in the same skill range to fight. Since the news broke about Madness, we plan to send any 355k+ fighter over to BFC as long as it's their preference. We will not force anyone to move from HFC to BFC, but they definitely have that option. There are also a large cluster of fighters in Madness that simply will not be moving over to HFC due to not being able to compete. I do not want to offer unfair fights to anyone, so I will not bring on a fighter who simply cannot compete at the HFC level. This is out of respect for the sport, the game, and the manager. As was said, without new managers winning now and then, MMA Tycoon would have a dim future. So those guys should join orgs that suit their fighters better. And lastly, there is a good number of inactive managers within these rosters. HFC has been lenient of late due to COVID, but between the two rosters we have already removed about 40 fighters who were inactive or a low end FA. Yes, the full number would be over 400, but we are looking to keep the top 200-250 combined roster as we narrow down moving forward. For a long term goal, we will look to have around 20 elite fighters per division, those who would prove to the world they are the best at 350k. (And Camara, for our future, our eventual goal is to become unrestricted. But this infusion of talent will allow us to have a very competitive 350k group for a while, and when our fighters are ready to take on some older talent, we'll drop the ID range.)

 

2) If so, will it reduce down belt opportunities obviously by the loss of the other org and kinda limit upward mobility for a lot of fighters due to having so many in each division?

 

a) For starters, all HFC champions will face Madness champions to establish the new HFC champion. Obviously, rankings are going to take a little time to sort out, but there will be a system. For now, even though we may have an abundance of fighters in any particular weight class, we still only have a select number of top contenders. So there will be more opportunities for legit title fights between our top 5-10 fighters, as opposed to 2 or 3 standing out from a pack of 20. We will keep working the lower fighters with even matches and work on helping them develop their hype and move up the ranks, but if anything, this move will allow us to have more quality title fights, and less waiting around for someone to be able to challenge.

 

3) if that's not the case, are you spinning more of them off into a separate division that is more developmental? and if not...

 

a) As I mentioned, most who cannot compete will be offered the move to BFC. Those who are simply not capable of winning will be allowed to fight elsewhere or we will finish out their contracts but not resign them. Some of the other 350 and 355k orgs could find themselves with more roster options soon.

 

4) Is there a chance that with the absorption and loss of Madness that some of the less developed, lower level fighters may find themselves homeless in the long run? I know that some of that is a natural thing in MMAT, and for them it may be time to consider whether the fighter was worth continuing with at all...but just trying to figure out what this means for a lot of fighters given there are so many affected, and given that Madness had such a large roster to begin with.

 

a) And pretty much this is summed up between the above answers. Unfortunately, yes, some of the under developed fighters will eventually find themselves without a home in the HFC. Now, with that being said, let me clarify... If a fighter has been well trained but has a few losses or has the ability to compete and we believe we can help hype them up as an org, we will do everything we can to help develop those fighters. We want the most competitive roster in the 350k range, and with this move I believe we are well on our way.

 

We will be in for some interesting times. This size of a roster is definitely too much to handle for a single org. Even if we were putting on 2 events per week with 10 fights each, we would still have many fighters who would have fights longer than 30 days. So between some managers wishing extra time to train for those needing to develop, and letting many of our under trained fighters compete in BFC, Sucker, or wherever they wish to go, we will be doing everything we can to help ensure they have a fair playing field and that HFC has a highly competitive roster full of elite talent.

 

To Identify the HFC, this is simple. We want to be the best. Once this merger is completed, I believe we will have accomplished that feat among the 350k ID range. Eventually, as our fighters catch up to older ID's, we will open up the ID range a little and work to our very long term goal of becoming an unrestricted org.

 

Money is not of concern, as the HFC makes more money we increase awards amounts, contracts bonuses, special events with special bonuses, etc.. we look to pump the money back into the org. We have been able to start putting together a very solid staff here at HFC and our team is working around the clock to continually improve this great org.

 

As far as alliance affiliation, yes, HFC is the poster child for the HBE alliance. BFC is essentially our feeder org, Raven is our KT org, but this move will not effect any of that outside of BFC getting some extra fighters that slip through the cracks of this merger.

 

I would be a liar if I said that we didn't hope to join GAMMA at the top of the rankings one day, but we know that is a very long ways off. This move will push us to that eventual goal. A top 5 org, with a solid reputation for putting on elite fights at elite events. Unlike FARTMMA, but much like GAMMA, we will let those at the bottom of the pool move down to BFC to compete. We do not yet have a P4P ranking minimum, but the general process would work the same. The top tier will be at HFC, and any who feel they can compete there can step up and challenge for a spot. Eventually, would like a set number of fighters per division and in order to bring in somebody new, they would have to knock out a gatekeeper to the division.

We have many ideas and plans in store for the future, and I can assure you we are very much up to the task. We were doubted during the SMASH merger, but managed to climb to the top. Madness was our top competitor, and now we are one. There is a very bright future for HARDCORE F.C. and we can't wait to take you on this journey with us.

[robin10]

You killed it mate.

this is actually a fantastic idea and,

mr camara you can literally do a simple exercise everyday. Do you want to know what it is?

well it is something called f**k off. Don't worry about HFC cause we have a much more capable owner than you could ever dream of becoming. So practise that exercise daily.

[HareRumpler]

Excellent stuff JW, thanks for taking the time with such a thorough breakdown!

[Monsieur.Camara]

Good attempt to hijack our thread man... You make some valid points, but this is not about FARTMMA.

As to the questions presented by Hare, those I will answer here and thank you for them because these are things I need to address.

 

 

I`m not hijacking your thread. I am giving you some insight into this situation.

 

I have ran 3 orgs very sucessfully and I can 100% guarantee you that running multiple events in 1 given week go against Hype building.

 

You need Hype in order to make it into the top 10.

 

You are acting like a spoiled child that all of the sudden got big. On Buzz you just called the GAMMA developmetal league a D class league because one of your contenders moved to GAMMA Contenders?

 

Like seriously?

 

This is the second time you are rude to me, I gave you legit insight above about what makes 340k succesful and you gonna snob me like this?

 

Remember when you said you would be accountable for your actions? be accountable then, your belt is in the mail lol.

[JakeF]

D League means development league you fucking moron

 

Good way to dodge fighting Silva btw

[robin10]

Camara look what your life has come to.

You have become so invested in criticising other organisations that you have lost sense of your own English language you prat.

You took freaking d-for development as some kind of insult.

This truly shows you are the ultimate asshole in the game.

Oh my god, how does anyone dare to call the Gamma Development League a different name, by calling it Gamma D League?!!

(Actual footage of Camara after the D-League comment, comfirmed by Mr. Camara himself, a.k.a. The White Wrapper!)

[Bleakardor]

Well, seems Camara is afraid of competition. He just left with Aron Wolf, one of our champs

 

We'll strip him and take the hit. He didn't want to fight Furys guy, and now would have to face Madness champ too if he won. No easy wins here, so sucks to take the hype hit, but Camara is officially blackliated from HFC.
