Its almost time fight fans, and its Merlin here bringing you another great preview of Fallen Champions 34! The Light Heavyweight title is on the line with newly crowned Torrelio Sacana taking on the returning Champion Gegardio Musasio, Musasio is making his return after being off for over a year with injuries! We also have some other great fights on the card so lets get started..........


170lbs-Matt Clark(1-0)(1-0)vsMichael White(1-5)(0-0)-Clark by UD


205lbs-Diego Russell(4-3)(4-2)vsDevils Reaper(3-2)(2-2)-Reaper by Sub in 1st Rd


205lbs-Thomas Engine(2-5)(2-4)vsTim Alvarez(3-5)(3-1)-Alvarez by UD


265lbs+-#9.Broc Naga(7-3)(0-0)vsJohannes Skaft(7-5)(0-2)-Naga by Sub in 1st Rd


205lbs-#8.BJ Penn(11-9)(4-4)vsDiego Guerra(4-1)(2-1)-Penn by UD


265lbs-#5.Nick Robinson(6-2)(4-2)vsSergio Tyson(4-3)(4-3)


Our Main Card starts off with this Heavyweight battle between these two FC veterans. Nick Robinson has been hovering around the top of the division for some time now but it seems like he falls short in big fights, but rumor is that he has been sharpening up his skills and could be looking to make a push for a title shot! He has some descent wrestling and submission game, but has showed some weakness against guys that have good submissions off their back. Sergio Tyson has a very similar skillset to his opponent but he leans more toward the ground n pound gameplan. So this one could very well come down to who gets the takedown first, and can keep dominate position over their opponent.


170lbs-#1.Sir Gawain Lot(7-1)(7-1)vs#3.Mauricio"Pitbull"Calvancante(11-6)(1-0)


The winner of this match up will be greeting Echart Tolle for a title fight when he returns back down from Light Heavyweight! The ex Champion Gawain Lot wants nothing more than to get the title back around his waist, but hes not looking past the 17 fight veteran Mauricio Calvancante. Lot has a great mix of Olympic level wrestling, and a good submission game that he has used to finish 5 of his opponents. Mauricio is entering into his second fight under the Fallen Champions banner after spending the majority of his career in UPF, where he fought 12 times posting a mediocre 6-6 record. He is older now, and possesses one of the slickest ground games in the org which he will look to use in this one. We now that Lot is going to be able to land the takedown, but the key to this fight is going to be how Pitbull fights off of his back!


155lbs-#3.Robert E Conan(8-3)(5-2)vs#4.Colt Compton(7-1)(3-0)


Robert E Conan has had a rocky FC career seeming to choke everytime a title shot was within his grasp, but he has work his way back into that situation again. Robert is very well rounded, and can finish where ever the fight ends up. He is a very accurate striker landing about 70% of his total strikes, and has plenty of power in those strikes. Colt Compton is coming in on a 4 fight win streak, and is proving to be a knock out artist winning all 3 of his FC victories by strikes. This one is sure to turn into a stand up war, as Colt loves to stand and bang and he has some very good takedown defense so I don't think that Conan will be able to get him down. I think this two will stand and trade, and it will come down to who has the better chin or is more active!


185lbs-#3.Chris"Hack Saw"Remnant(8-4)(2-0)vs#5."The Lion of Matema"Baraka Simengwa(7-4)(1-1)


In our Co Main Event of the evening we have a contest between top 5 Middleweights, and in one of the most talented divisions in the org and win in this one would be huge. Chris Remnant has started his FC career off at 2-0 including knocking off ex Champion Tom Finch by Submission in his last outting. He has some deadly submissions, but has been vastly improving his boxing by leaps and bounds so he may look to stand and trade in this one. Baraka Simengwa has some of the purest BJJ not only in FC but in Hilo, he has a very high level Black belt and all 7 of his wins coming by submission and he also has an awesome double leg takedown! I think this fight will eventually hit the mat, and it will be interesting to see if Remnant will be able to hang with the Submission Wizard Simengwa!


205lb Championship-(#2 P4P)C."Bastard"Torrelio Sacana(13-3)(3-0)vs#6.Gegardio"Killer" Musasio(5-0)(4-0)


Its finally time for the Main Event of the evening, and this one is going to be a good one for the Light Heavyweight Title! Torrelio Sacana won the title back at FC 50th just absolutely running through Shelby Toe in under a minute with an armbar, and he'll be looking to set his place in history by defending the title. He has a very good grappling game where he uses his wrestling to control his opponent and has some nasty submission with that high level Brown belt. Torrelio is currently ranked as the #2 P4P fighter in the org, and the #8 LHW in Hilo and another win would shoot him further up the list! Gegardio Musasio stormed through the Fallen Champions LHW division destroying all the top contenders, including beating Toe for the title and defending it once. But over a year removed from the sport, you have to wonder if he is going to be the same fighter now with all the ring rust and the fact that the competition has gotten better, but I'm sure he will still be a very game opponent! He has a great game, and even a little bit of stand up too. Sacana will get this fight to the ground early, and will see who has the better grappling game!


There you have it folks another great card brought to you by Fallen Champions. I would like to thank our sponsors The Dark Side clothing, and Pirates Powder nutrition! Tune in next time for another great event!
