 Ladies and gentlemen, TTFC fans around the globe! Nathan Norman here with TTFC Invades Tokyo! Live from the Tokyo Bowl where we will witness 10 fights which will leave you breathless! This line-up is sure to excite even the harshest critics, 20 fighters, all with everything on the line as they battle in the TTFC cage to improve their position for the hopes of a future title shot! Our main event includes 36 year old veteran, James “Logan” Howlett taking on the former TTFC 170lbs champion, “Fast” Reggie Anderson. Future title hopes in the 170lbs division ride on this fight! The winner is almost certain to be next in line for a title shot, but who will it be?
Before we get to the main event this evening, our preliminary card will set the tone of the night! 10 fighters looking to make their early impressions count in their career! We are definitely going to see some amazing fights which each competitor leaving everything in the cage until the very end! Let’s get started!
First up, Armando Elcock (6-7-1) will be determined to make up for his TTFC debut loss by taking on a struggling Alarcon “The Traitor” Ramirez (17-13-1). Elcock is recently coming off a tough loss by unanimous decision 29:28. Even after he dominated the first round, he was unable to finish the job! He will be determined to turn that around against an opponent who has lost his past 4 fights! However, Ramirez has the potential to put on a clinic with his admirable black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I believe Ramirez can turn his luck around if is determined enough to do so! This will be a tough encounter to begin the evening! Ramirez by submission late in the 1st round!
Next on the cards, “Loco Choco” Chocolate Al (11-5-1) will be backing up his recent Fight of the Night victory against Kaheli Sonni (18-12-2) who is recently suffering from a demotivating draw in his last bout after a split decision defeat. Some could say that luck hasn’t been on Sonni’s side recently. However, this will make him more determined to train and perform to try to pull off a massive finish to gain that confidence boost which he needs to rise him up the ranks of the TTFC fighters! But coming off his first Fight of the Night victory, Chocolate Al’s confidence will be sky high as he trains to ensure fans and managers that it wasn’t a ‘one-off’ performance. Another tough fight to call, however I believe Chocolate Al will reign victorious. Al by decision.
In our next preliminary fight, Aigars Senko (18-11-0) takes on “Night Terror” Bill Nevin (18-10-1)! Aigars Senko is coming off a huge victory in his TTFC debut last bout with a round one TKO! He is known for his knock-out power, winning 16 from 18 by way of knock-out! He will be facing an experienced TTFC fighter in Bell Nevin, who has just recently taken out a late round 1 knock-out, earning him Knock-out of the Night! I believe Senko’s knock-out ability will stand too strong against Nevin, even though he hasn’t been finished since 2012! Nonetheless, this fight will show how much punishment Nevin and withstand! Senko by round 3 knock-out.
Next up, Shunsui Kyoraku (14-9-0) looks to pick up a much needed win against “The Dozen Boy” Twelf Thermandin (27-9-0)! On paper, Kyoraku looks to be a massive underdog, having less in-ring experience in the TTFC and Thermandin has shown us time and time again that he can put on a great fight! However, this fight will not be a blow-out by any means! Kyoraku has a point to prove and he will be determined to take out the veteran in Thermandin! Thermandin won’t go down easy though, only being finished once in his entire fighting career, I have a feeling this one can go the distance, but who can impress the judges more? I’m going to go with Thermandin on this one, by decision.
To top off our intense preliminary card, we have Ba Lil III (22-9-1) battling it out against “Stone Cold” Aldo Magetsu (15-5-0)! This will be a very interesting fight, we have the submission artist vs. a knock-out artist! Lill III winning 14 from 22 fights by submission with 6 of those picking up Submission of the Night awards! He holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and has an extensive wrestling background to accommodate his ground skill! In the other corner, we have an elite boxer taking out 9 from 15 victories by knock-out, earning himself 3 Knock-out of the Night awards himself. This is a fight which will come down to dominance! Who can use their extensive skillset the best? Will Magetsu avoid the ground or can Lil III find a way to put on a clinic? I believe the ground game will win this fight, it will be one interesting fight which should not be missed! Lil III by round 2 submission.
Moving on to our first main card fight for the evening and our first 5 round bout in the 185lbs division. We see Vidar “Gram” Heimdall (27-12-1) wanting to make it 2 wins in a row against “Purple Cobra” White Goodman (29-12-1)! A big talking issue at the moment is Heimdall’s ability to even make weight! He is currently 1.8lbs over the 185lbs weight which could be dramatic as the event is 1 day away! This gives Goodman a huge advantage coming in to this fight as he is nice and rested taking in to account that it is a 5 round contest as well. If Heimdall makes weight, he must use his extensive training to his advantage by ending the fight within the opening rounds, otherwise fatigue will kick in and Goodman will take this one out cleanly. I believe that will be the biggest contributing factor and I have to go with Goodman on this one. Goodman by round 3 knock-out.
In our next main card fight, 2-time TTFC 155lbs champion “The Wild Man” Zander McGuire (20-6-0) will battle the man who he took the title from back in May of this year, Lars Thunstrom (33-21-1)! Both fighters are once again in arms reach of that 155lbs title, however they must fact off for the second time to do so! Last time they met, Zander McGuire picked up a massive victory in the hands of the judges, winning 48:47 unanimously. Cam McGuire put his extensive training in to action? Or will Lars Thunstrom get revenge as he would have been devastated to lose the title in such a close contest. His black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and strong boxing background might just pull him over the line. I believe McGuire will make it 2 from 2 as he looked dominant in most of their recent fight, he knows how to grind out victories, but this time I think this fight won’t be given to the judges! McGuire by round 2 Knock-out.
In our 3rd fight of the main card, Serveri Turpaansaaja (32-15-0) will be determined to make it 6 wins out of 6 and move himself in to the title hunt. But to do so, he must lock horns with Jean-Marc Mormeck (23-14-0)! Severi Turpaansaaja is fiery hot at the moment, taking out 5 from 5 opponents recently, TTFC fans are just starting to notice his ability, deservingly so as he moves closer to that title race. Not forgetting the task at hand, where he takes on a TTFC debutant in Jean-Marc Mormeck who wants to make a massive impact here in the TTFC! A victory here will end the streak of Turpaansaaja and give a fantastic first impression to managers and TTFC fans around the globe! This fight is going to be electric! However, I don’t think this will be the debut that Mormeck was looking for, Turpaansaaja’s streak is just too good at the moment! This will be a tough contest for both opponents, but I’m going to give this fight to the streak! Turpaansaaja by decision.
On to our co-main event of the evening! This is going to be a massive clash which cannot be missed! We see TTFC overall #16 Luke Johnson (32-9-0) taking on TTFC overall #11 "Ill" Illias Illiadis (14-2-1)! Illiadis is performing extremely well since making his debut at TTFC, winning 2 from 2 both by decision, he will want to make it 3 in a row if he is going to get close to a title shot! Illiadis has an extensive ground skillset, but it will be his stand-up ability that will be the key indicator as to where this fight goes. He believes his boxing and Muay Thai is far more superior to his opponent’s, but there is only one way to truly find out! And that is by proving it in the cage, against Luke Johnson! Johnson holds a red belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which is extremely intimidating against Illiadis! Johnson also has elite wrestling ability and respectable stand up ability, however Johnson will have every intention to control this fight on the ground and use his under-rated submission ability to his advantage. With most of his victories being decided by the judges, it is clear that Johnson can go the distance, but he will be looking for that devastating performance! And what better what to do so than in the co-main event of TTFC Invades Tokyo! Who will be victorious? I believe Johnson will prove why he is a 2 time TTFC champion! Moving himself in to a title shot within the near future! Johnson by a submission in round 4!
And now! The contest which has been so highly anticipated! The main event of TTFC Invades Tokyo! And I assure you, this will not disappoint even the saddest of viewers! 2 contenders with a serious shot at the TTFC 170lbs championship! 5 rounds in the TTFC cage at the Tokyo Bowl! Introducing first, he is ranked #5 overall in the TTFC, James “Logan” Howlett (30-6-2)!! Our second combatant of this massive main event, ranked #17 in the TTFC, “Fast” Reggie Anderson (20-7-2)!! It is almost certain that this fight will be the talking point for history to come as the winner will get their well-deserved shot at the TTFC 170lbs championship! Let’s break this fight down, James “Logan” Howlett is an all-round fighter! 36 years of age from Canada. From 16 TTFC fights, he has taken home victory 12 times! He held the TTFC 170lbs title for an outstanding 14 months! He will be looking to take back his title belt, but first, he must defeat the former TTFC 170lbs champion, Reggie Anderson! 29 year old Anderson born and bred in USA has only been finished once in his mma career, and he won’t want that changed any time soon! Recently losing the title belt after a short-term reign as champion, Anderson will be more determined than ever to claim back that belt! This is going to be one entertaining fight that’s for sure! These fighters will not stop until that final bell rings at the end of round 5! But who will be victorious? It will be a tight one, but I believe Howlett has the makings of a true champion. He is hungry for that 170lbs belt and will move himself in to that number 1 contender’s spot with victory against Anderson! Howlett by decision.
There we have it ladies and gentlemen. 20 fighters, 10 fights at the Tokyo Arena where each fight will provide a different experience for all viewers! This will be an event not to be missed! December 6, TTFC Invades Tokyo. Without further ado, let’s get it on!
