Event Preview: SFL 64 Eroglu vs Butcher 2
Evil Empire
2013-11-16, St Petersburg, Ice Box
Author:Jax Rostenkowski

Hold on to your earmuffs, boys and girls, because SFL is about to melt the Ice Box! The Ice Box arena in St. Petersburg, with seating for over twelve thousand (!) people, will be the scene of the crimes for SFL 64: Eroglu vs Butcher II. This is a stacked card, with four titles and twenty lives on the line. Here is a sneak preview of what the night has to offer.



205 lb- Francois Faber (9-2, 3-2 SFL) vs RZ "Phantom Specialist" Silva (7-4-1) Silva will make his SFC debut against Faber, a Muay Thai fighter. Silva is a boxer, and both men have had many fights go the distance.



265+ lb- Marcus "Roadblock" Dantes (8-2, 7-2 SFL) vs Dark Thoughts (7-3, 1-2 SFL) Dantes lost his last fight in a bid for the title, and both of his losses come by way of submission. He takes on Thoughts, a ground and pound grappler who will look to hand Dantes his first TKO loss.



155 lb- Bradley "The Real Deal" Johnson (5-4,

I am your Pre Event Analyst, Ryuuma Oshida Let’s take a look at another exciting night of Fighting in the SFC. This is the lower Card for this Exciting SFC Event.

Fight 1 Styles vs. Lavigne

Styles is coming off five straight losses, including a QFC Bout where he was KO’d after 9 seconds he will be fighting to keep his contract, lavigne although the same age has much less experience with only one fight under his belt, he is unproven but a win over Styles should be a minimum to show he deserves his contract. I’m Giving this one to the unproven Lavigne, Styles has not been able to stand with the pros of SFC I don’t see that changing. Lavigne by Sub

Fight 2 Hart vs. Money

This 155lb fight will be a ground battle between two BJJ fighters Money missed 34 takedowns in

Road to the gold

About Me: Alika Webb

I’m writing this article to sketch my personal history with title fights because I took a short notice fight for a vacant title. By the time this article is published that title fight will be over and my title fight record will either have improved or I will stay winless in title fights. I’m hoping it won’t be the latter.

0-1

Let’s go back to my first title fight, my fighter Jason Boma was challenging then bantamweight  champion Joko Diaz. Joko Diaz at that time was a Brazilian jiu jitsu beast while Boma was more known as a tough wrestler with some decent BJJ. In that fight Boma showed off his improved boxing but it was Joko Diaz’ grappling that gave him the unanimous decision.

0-2

Up next was another grappling showdown.

SPNY 130 Preview by R.George

Event Preview: SPNY 130: Le Rone - Gnata
Steel Penn - ICON
2013-11-16, New York, Liberty Dome
Author:The Dictator

Good evening and welcome to the Liberty Dome in New York City to witness SPNY 130 where we will see the 2nd Light Heavyweight Title defence of Toby Le Rone against Haloti Gnata.  The undercard is packed with interesting fights such as Light Heavyweight contender Oscar Salcedo against the aging legend Belin Billet, and Kenny Monday and Robert Van Winkle engaging in a Middleweight eliminator series.  Perhaps most interesting for me is to see how former Welterweight champion handles parting company with his long term manager on the back of a 3 fight losing streak when he clashes with Ogami Itto.  The Bantamweight encounter between Doherty and Troyer is going to be intriguing given that both were pound for pound legends a few years ago but are well past their best now, it could be either one of the best or one of the worst fights SPNY has ever witnessed.  Don’t forget for those of you who love a punt Steel Penn NY Bookmaker has odds on all of tonight’s 10 fights.

Main Event: Light Heavyweight Title

Toby Le Rone (c) 20-5 (6-2 SPNY) vs Haloti Gnata 17-5 (14-5 SPNY)

Le Rone comes into his second title defence knowing that as a boxer and kick boxer he probably has the edge in terms of total skills against boxer Gnata.  Coming off 5 straight wins and his last 3 by knockout, not only is Le Rone at peak form but he is quickly becoming one of the outright crowd favourites here at SPNY.  Whilst he lacks the one punch knockout power that makes some stand up fighters so dangerous, there are few Light Heavyweights in the world who can match his work rate over 3 rounds let alone the 5 rounds of tonight’s title fight.

Tom Quin Q&A

Fighter profile of Shogun Iron Tyson by Alika Webb

Q: Dear martial arts fans, last week I had an interview with an 18 year old prospect from Holland. Tom Quin talked about competing in a tournament to crown the LFC’s 145 champion. But word got out something unexpected happened, isn’t that right Mr. Quin?

Tom: That is correct, the company changed hands. Everybody got scared, fearing for the future of not only the tournament but also their jobs.

Q: What is the status of the company now and will the tournament continue?

Tom: The tournament will continue, my first match has been scheduled. The new owner might not have a lot of experience but someone that hasn’t proven himself yet will be hungry for success, that means he is exactly like me and every fighter in the tournament so I’m sure the company is in good hands right now.

Q: With the tournament saved I just have to ask, a lot of fighters have nicknames. Why don’t you hav
