 Hello fight fans, King here bringing you some great MMA action from the Shinjuku Indoor Arena in Tokyo, where 20 of the best Rising Sun fighers will be competing in what is going to be the 100th event in the promotions history! We have the Super Heavyweight and the Welterweight Titles on the line as well as 8 other world class matches up, and this should be one of the best cards yet. So lets get the action underway shall we.....
155lbs-Reza Katebi(8-9)vsRing Vinayagamoorthy(3-3)-Reza by UD
265lbs-Stan Marsh(8-2)vsOrlando Sax(7-1)-Sax by Sub in the 1st Rd
155lbs-Harvey Specter(8-4-1)vsDamien Lok(9-5)-Specer by SD
265lbs-Vaimaa Fatu(10-9)vsEvan Horizon(7-2)-Horizon by (t)KO in 2nd Rd
185lbs-Tarik Gibson(11-4)vsKisuke Urahara(9-8-2)-Gibson by (t)KO in 1st Rd
145lbs-Tommy DeVito(13-4)vs"Uncle Monty"Montague Withnail(11-4)
We kick our Main Card off with a very exciting Featherweight match up, Tommy DeVito is looking to get back into title contention after his razor sharp decision loss to Matoshin back at FC 51 and a win in this one would do just that. Montague Withnail was successful in his promotional debute submitting the always tough Alex Hopkins in the first round, and he will be looking to use that grappling to earn another victory. This one will be a classic Striker vs Grappler match up, DeVito is an aggressive Boxer who sets up his punches with his nasty leg kicks and has the power to put anyone to sleep. Withnail makes his gameplan no secret and starts looking for a double leg as soon as the bell rings, and if he gets the fight to the mat he is able to just suck the life out of his opponent transitioning at win and landing nasty ground n pound! DeVito has stuffed almost 80% of his opponenets take down attempts so if he is able to do some damage and keep the fight on the feet then he'll be able to pull the win out, but if he ends up on his back it is going to be a long night for him.
145lbs-Craig"Cee-Chop"Clendennon(14-2)vsKraal The Bouncer(13-9)
In our next fight of the night we have another Featherweight Match up and this one will be between these two ex Champions who are both looking to get back to the title. Kraal The Bouncer won the title back at FC 32 but was unable to defend it successfully in his next fight. Craig Clendennon won the belt at FC 46 and was able to defend it once before losing it in his last fight against the current Champion Timmey The Gangster in a devastating decision loss. Craig wants nothing more than to get back and get a rematch for the title, and I think that he has the skill set and now the drive to get the job done. Kraal has been hanging around the middle of the division for some time now, but can't seem to put together enough wins to get back to the top. Both of these two guys are strikers Kraal relies more on his Boxing while Clendennon likes to use that nasty clinchwork of his where he batters his opponents with knees and elbows at will. This one is a rematch of the FC 37 Main event and I have a feeling that it is going to turn out the same way and that is Craig getting his hand raised!
265lbs-Purple Aki(10-1)vs"The Deliverer of Siam"Nai Khanom Tom(9-3)
Next up we have these two Heavyweight monsters facing off in what will be their third match up but the first under the Rising Sun banner. Purple Aki saw early success in RS winning the title then went on to lose it and break his undefeated streak against the current Champion, but bounced back with a nice head kick victory over top contender Ricky Fontaine. Nai Khanom Tom has been on a tear since signing with RS and has won all 5 of his fights so far, and a win against the ex Champion will surely earn him a title shot himself. Both of these fighters love to stand and bang and both guys have some serious power, this fight could have some fireworks in it and I can't really see it going to the judges. I have a hard time picking a winner in this one, as I think it will come down to which fighter is able to connect cleanly with the others chin first!
170lb Title-Juan Pablo Green(13-7)vsC.Dominick Napolitano(14-5)
In our Co Main Event of the evening we have the Welterweight Championship on the line when Champ Dominick Napolitano will look to defend his title for the first time since December! He fought one time in Tokyo since then, but is also under new management so it will be interesting to see if he can maintain the same form that helped him earn the title. Juan Pablo Green fell short in his promotional debute but has since then won his last two including taking out top recruit Terry Toddler in his last outting, now he has set his sights on the gold. Green is equally dangerous no matter where the fight takes places but he prefers to stand and trade with his opponenets and he has the power to put anyone to sleep. Napolitano comes into this contest riding a 7 fight win streak, but this will be one of his toughest test to date. Dominick generally throws a lot of kicks to try to set up his Boxing game, and while he may not finish a lot of opponents his aggressive style always earns him the judges favor. I think that his fight will be a war and is a perfect match up of styles, but I think that if Green comes in with a good gameplan and is able to stick to it then he will be able to earn the victory and take home the belt.
265lb+-C.Hannibal Lyons(7-0)vsBolo"Mister B"Young(7-0)
WOW what a Main Event that we have for you tonight folks, not only is the Super Heavyweight Title on the line, but one of these undefeated BEAST are going to be losing their perfect record! Bolo Young has been destroying his opponents since joining the RS roster, and all 7 of his career victories have been by way of Knockout up until this point in his career! Hannibal Lyons has also finished all 7 of his fights by strikes, and even took out two ex Champions on his way to taking out the Champion Hunter in his last fight to earn the Belt. Both of these men have had very very similar careers and I think that it is just awesome that they are meeting in this fashion for all of our fans to see, this is truely going to be a clash of the Titans! Both guys have huge power, good chins, good cardio, good management, so this one is going to come down to who wants it more and who is able to land the shots that they want first! This one could either turn into the fight of the year or the Knockout of the Year very quickly, but either way it is going to be a great show for the fans!
There you have it folks an absolutely action packed night of fights on hand, and we could very well see two new Champions crown on this night. We recently signed a new partnership with Milwaukee's Best Nutrition, and the rumor is if your fighter gives them a thank you in their post fight speech then Groove will send them a nice little bonus for the love.
