 Hello Folks Merlin here, bring you another great night of fights! We have a really good card on tap with a number one contender fight for the welterweight championship, plus nine other great match ups.
185lbs-Sir Galahad(0-1)(0-1)vsJason Karlsson(0-0)(0-0)-Karlsson by Sub 1st Rd
265lbs-Vince Macdonald(5-3)(0-0)vsSergio Tyson(2-2)(2-2)-Tyson by GnP 1st Rd
145lbs-Rancho Juventin(3-0)(2-0)vsSpider Silva(3-6)(2-1)-Silva by UD
205lbs-Devils Reaper(2-0)(1-0)vsDanny Wait(0-1)(0-0)-Reaper by UD
135lbs-#6.VJ Kiwi(5-3-1)(1-0)vsEvander Mackenzie(0-1)(0-0)-Kiwi by Sub 1st Rd
135lbs-#9."Eating Panties"Bobby Roach(3-2)(0-1)VS#10.Evil"Hadoken"Ryu(6-4-1)(0-1)
Both of these guys are coming off of loses, and looking to get themselves back into the upper part of the division with a win. Bobby Roach came into his debut riding a 3 fight win streak, but fell short to top contender Blas Kavcic. He has a good ground game with some descent wrestling, so he'll look to get Ryu on the mat and tap him out. Ryu is a very well rounded fighter who will be comfortable where ever the fight goes, but I'm sure he will want to keep the fight on the feet where he has a huge advantage in the striking. I think that Evil is going to pick up his first Fallen Champions win, and be the first to stop Roach by strikes.
170lbs-Donnatello Moss(2-1)(0-0)vsChris"Happy"Madison(4-3-1)(2-2-1)
Donnatello Moss is bringing a very interesting skillset into his Fallen Champions debut, in a division ruled by grapplers Moss has some very impressive Muay Thai. Great clinchwork, great elbows, and great kicks make for a scarring combo for any opponent. Chris Madison fought to a draw with then Champion Kid Kong back at FC XV, then when Kong had to pull out of their rematch Madison fought for the interim Title which started a two fight slide. Happy will be looking to get himself back into the top ten and hopefully back into the Title picture. He has superb wrestling and a high level purple belt, that has helped him earn 4 finishes on the ground. I think that Moss's clinch game is going to be a little too much for Madison to handle, and I see this one be a stoppage in the first round.
205lbs-#5.Jose Rodrigo(7-1)(1-1)vs#10.Johnny"The Storm"Hayl(4-5)(1-2)
Jose Rodrigo is a beast, he takes his opponent down and pounds their face until either they go out or the ref pulls him off of them! He won his first 7 fights, then he met Champion Gergardio Musasio who was able to catch Jose in an armbar from the bottom. Now I feel sorry for his opponents becuase he'll be out to prove that he is the best light heavyweight in the org. Johnny Hayl is very well rounded, but prefers to fight on the ground. He'll be looking to use the same strategy as Musasio and try to catch Rodrigo being too aggressive off of his back. I think that Rodrigo will get back on the winning side of things in this one with another knockout victory via ground n pound.
265lbs+-(#7 P4P)#1."Hellraiser"Eddie Fatu(8-1)(1-0)vs#6.Cyrus the Virus(5-0)(5-0)
Eddie Fatu is a very dangerous fighter, he has good striking combined with some top notch grappling. He is a very powerful giant of a man, and once he gets on top of you he has a great top game and always finishes his opponents having eight wins and eight finishes.Cyrus the Virus first entered the Fallen Champions Ring back at FC VIII, and has been on a tear every since winning five straight matchs. With four knockout victories to his credit, and a granite chin the Virus is a stand up nightmare! Rumor is he ask for this fight, becuase he wants to step up his competition so he can make a run at the title, but with Fatu standing in his way that may better easier said than done! I think that Cyrus when test Fatu's chin early but Eddie will eventually be able to get the fight down and hand his opponent his first loss.
170lbs(#4 P4P)#1."The Dark Prince"Echart Tolle(15-2)(1-0)vs#3.Severino"Bombita"Bernardo(5-4)(5-2)
This will be Echart Tolle's 18th fight, and the 26 year old is not getting any younger. Thats why he is making a push for a Title shot, after being the last Syn Champion he wants to get back there. He has the perfect skillset for a world class grappler, great double leg, smooth transitions, slick submissions, and a big heart! He has a killer instinct as well, which you can see with his 14 finishes in 15 outtings! He opponent is Fallen Champions Veteran Severino Bernardo, who has became the so called gate keeper of the top tier of the welterweight division. If you want to fight for the Title you have to beat Severino first, but Bernardo could earn himself a Title shot with a win in this one. He is also a grappler, but he prefers to take his opponent down and ground n pound them out. I think that Severino will take the fight down and either pound on Tolle for 2 whole rounds and earn a decision, or he'll get a little over confident and Tolle will catch him in a submission! Rumor is the winner of this bout will get the winner of Lot vs Skjeggestad at FC XXVI, should add a little extra pressure for these two.
For the first time in awhile, we are having an event without a Title fight but I don't think that these card is lacking in excitement at all! I would like to think our sponsors The DarkSide clothing store and The Pirate Powder Nutrition! Also a special thanks to Theodore Boston for our event poster!
