Revolution XC 4

Question, How does Revolution XC follow up it’s most successful event to date? The answer is simple, bring in a card with 5, F@$#ING 5, Championship encounters, a main event featuring a returning champion looking to reclaim his throne, Elvis the Fighter looking for revenge and one of the best featherweight prospects in mixed martial arts today. Without further ado, let’s get to the arm breaking, head spinning, and endurance testing action that only Revolution XC can provide!

 

Rodney Smith vs Martin Luther King Jr

Featherweight MMA Action

 

It really speaks to the quality of this fight card that this fight, featuring one of the next big things in Smith, is the curtain jerker for this event. Though that might have more to do with King than anything else. I can’t be too mean, King did the best that he’s done for a while, landing body shots and not getting finished at all. On the other hand, Rodney proved why he’s one of the guys to watch by dominating in every aspect of the fight, taking home unanimous 30-27 scorecards. Smith now sits at 12-0, while Martin now has to deal with a record of 9-5. At least his head didn’t get as messed up as previously.

Jay's Tycoon Tips

Editorial by Jay Lawrence

The topic for this paper is fighter creation.

Any 19-24 year old fighter is a waste, just don't do it.  There might be some strategy in it for The Island, but really if you want a future fighter, create him as young as possible.  If you want a fighter right now, go with a 25 year old.

If you are creating a 25 year old, just do your 4 QFC fights and get rid of him.  25 year olds can do well in a fighting organization (especially an ID-restricted one) for a short period of time, but they will soon be surpassed by teens.  If you do join a fighting org with your 25 year old, get as many fights in as fast as possible before your fighter becomes obsolete.

18 year old and younger.  This is what separates the newbies like myself from the dominant managers in the game.  The biggest key to creating your 18 year old is be PATIENT.  Like, a lot of patience.  Like the kid is sitting in the back of the car saying, "Are we there yet?" for 3 hours and you just keep d

LKO 16: Rolling Stone preview by Victorio Faber

Hello what's up MMA world here is Victorio and I'm bringing another preview of LKO's upcoming event - LKO 16 Rolling Stone on 20th Aug 2016! There will be two titles fight on the line so don't miss it!


WW bout: Chris Thompson vs James Darren


First fight of the night we have two pretty young WWs clashing. The red corner Chris Thompson is 4-7 in his career and winless in LKO with two appearances. He has nothing standout in his skills but seems like he loves to tap his foes out with his blue belt BJJ skills. His biggest weakness is his striking defense and chin and he would be tailor made for James Darren if he got careless. Darren is 1-1 in his career with both fights took place in QFC. He also doesn't have a skill stands out but he has shown his KO power in his first fight but fell short in his next fight against a purple belt. With this contrasting matchup, I favor Darren because Thompson got knocked out early in his last two fights,

Takeshi Naoki vs Sergiu "Hades" Petrescu        open weight category

 

In a night full of Open Weight clashes, the Japanese ninja Takeshi Naoki, coming from a KO win vs Sterling Archer a month ago, faces the God of Death himself, Sergiu "Hades" Petrescu. Petrescu demolished William Joseph with both knees and punches the last time he showed in the cage of LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION.

Both fighters are good allrounders who prefer heavy hitting than grappling. Naoki's advantage could be his experience having participated in twice the fights that Petrescu has. On the other side, mr. Hades is a lot bigger and younger than his opponent which could provide him with the power and energy needed to come out with the victory. We are expecting a very close encounter, with Naoki becoming the winner.

Another extremely entertaining event on the way brought to you by LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION. We have a 145 lbs title clash, we have debutants, we have everything!

 

 

Kieta Vivian vs Tusing Pocc     145 lbs

 

 

 

If fairytales were true, I'd say that this is a classic David vs Goliath fight. In one of the most exciting clashes of the evening, the 180cm Vivian meets the 165cm Pocc. What is intriguing in that fight is that both Vivian and Pocc are from Kin, Ireland so they know each other perfectly and I don't expect to be seeing any surprises in the fight. But wait, there is more!

Both fighters are signed to the very same manager, the well known "Irish fox" Pocc Vivian! I really wonder which fighter the manager is going to support from his seat near the cage and I can bet that two weeks before the fight he is still wondering too.

 

I am expecting to see a pure ground fight
