Meet Ice

Fighter profile of Vanilla Ice Cold by Aylib 2.0

And so we begin our series of profiles of California Martial Arts Academy fighters. It is fitting that we start out by zeroing in on the club's most prominent member--"Ice" Vanilla Ice Cold.

Ice Cold was born in Jacksonville, Florida, where he grew up in idolizing Manny Pacquiao. Ice was introduced to the fighting game by his cousin, who competed on the local boxing circuit. Ice would often tag along and hit the bags at the gym, occasionally getting into light contact sparring with a willing adult. Jabs, feints, and overhand rights that were observed at the gym would later be practiced at home, as Ice found himself bored with schoolwork. As his visits to the gym became more frequent he began to build relationships with the regulars, who took time to tutor and fine tune the youngsters skillset. After several amateur bouts Ice Cold successfulyl graduated to professional boxing, but handful of fights in he found the sport lacking. "At this time MMA was getting really big, and watching

GAZA FOREVER!!! It's ya boy, coming to you live from mi girlfriend's house. What? You think Ganja can't get a girlfriend? Well I did, and she's fucking banging! Enough about Ganja's love life. Four Kings sold every seat at the Hard Knocks arena for one of the best shows we've had yet. I know I say that a lot but Four Kings keeps outdoing itself. I knew things would skyrocket once I signed on as your main analyst and ganja dealer. The Cruiserweight title was on the line tonight, and it did not disappoint. The fan have been waiting for the matchup and they finally got it. The main card and undercard took it home. Almost every fight didn't go the distance, making my job easier.

Main Event:

"Mr. Hammerstorm" Tyler Richards (10-2) Vs. Gabriel Salwa (6-0)

HOLY SHIT!!! Ganja's been waiting for this one! The Cruiserweight division is stacked with talent here at Four Kings, yet no man has been able to defeat our champion after he captured the belt. Tyler Richards has defended his title three times and is still going strong. This guy hasn't shown any signs of slowing down, no one has gotten close to defeating him. His wrestling-based attack is something to be feared. Salwa is also no laughing matter. He brings a deadly striking game to every fight, a tactic which has obviously paid off. Salwa has knocked out every opponent leading up to his Four Kings debut. Even then, he battered Jima Jamm for three rounds in a lop-sided decision. These two were sure to bring fireworks to the main event, and that's exactly

HERO 25: Naama vs Shields

Prelims

Middleweight Division: Dave Geerts vs Rafael Carneiro

Geerts showed great counter striking in this one. Every time that Carneiro shot in for a takedown, he sidestepped it and cracked Carneiro with a big shot After a few of these had Carneiro on wobbly legs, Geerts went on the attack to finish things. Result: Geerts by 1st round TKO (Strikes)

Welterweight Division: Kabraskly Ratshatudiev vs Teemu Yumma

Ascension 106 - Archer vs Fett

Superfight time in Ascension. As new comer Mason Archer takes on Legendery Middleweight Boba Fett in the 205 Division. Also on the card we have a SHW title fight as the champ Tua takes on his biggest challenge to date in Project Pat. Wade Wilson the Middleweight Champion is also making an appearance taking on #1 contender Calvin Thompson for the strap.

Tyrone Biggums v Yance Sackett  Light Heavyweight Fight

New comer Biggums wanted to make an impression when he made his debut in Ascension. Well here is his chance as he takes on former champion Sackett. Biggums is coming off a tough loss to heavyweight Traianus and now looks to make amends by dropping back down and scrapping against one of the best Ascension has to offer. Both men love to stand and trade but both have a great ground game which we could see used here tonight. Both men also pack a punch but i'd give the chin advantage to Sackett. It should be a awesome fight to start off an action packed card here tonight.

Wade Wilson v Calvin Thompson   Middleweight Title Fight

Wade Wilson looked awesome in his fight against Diaby and looks to defend his belt against former DBC fighter Thompson.

Just Fight (Everything 8$), Nutrition Company, Las Vegas
Company profile by John Footpenis

Hello world wide world of MMA (Tycoon). This is Gabriel Bellani, the Italian Stallion of MMA-reporting. I'm here in warehouse in Las Vegas, which is  the company headquaters and oulet store of Just Fight, a new clothing company brought to you by the lights of John Footpenis Promotions. The Amarillo,TX native has tried to make a splash ever since he moved to Vegas. He's best known for being the "Joe Silva" of the HWP-Amateur-Open-Weight-Devision-Initiative otherwise known as HAOWDI and now he's the chief designer and owner of Just Fight. I highly recommend checking it out, they have some decent gear for sale. I had a little sit-down with the man himself in his office (which is a trailer parked in the warehouse) to talk about the new clothing company:   Gabriel: "What brought you to open a clothing company? You have your Job at HWP and the fighters you promote, why did venture into new territories?" John: "I was sitting under a tree and suddenly an apple struck me. I looked up and a gang of racoons proceeded to rain down on me like paratroopers at operation market garden. While I was fighting them off with hands and feet I k

Clothing Company Aims High

Ultra Fight Gear(Launder 85%), Clothing Company, Amsterdam
Company profile by Chad Didion

AMSTERDAM - There is a clothing store in Amsterdam that has a owner that plans on keeping fighters dressed in style.  The store was once known as ORANJE, but previous owner Wilson Thieatcres decided to sell and do other things.  New owner Chad Didion took on the store with limited knowledge of the industry, but plans on making the store even bigger then it was.

"Wilson had this store booming, he was a great owner, he handed me some great designs, but I want to reach new heights." says Didion.  Mr. Didion spends many hours a day, sometimes getting to his office at 5 am and not leaving until 10 or 11 pm.  "Days are long, but you have to put in the work."  The days are filled with searching for new fighters to sponsor, looking for designers to create a logo and clothes.  Not to mention the stocking and re-ordering of clothing.  Owning a clothing store in the MMA Tycoon world is tough.  Not only do you have to increase your stores hype, but you must try and create designs that are different and priced just right to move off you
