170 lbs division fight between David "The Mink" Charles (150927) and Dirk Diggler (117595)

Both men coming off losses so we had a slight desperation twist in this fight and each man was here to prove something! Right away, Diggler cuts Charles with a body head combo and shortly after Charles gets a takedown. But like the other 3 takedowns Charles got during the fight, he was unable to actually DO anything once he got Diggler on the ground. The standup battle was somewhat more interesting with Diggler throwing and landing over twice as many kicks as punches and Charles throwing 57 punches and a handful of kicks. But other than the early cut, it was a pretty ho-hum fight.

Results: All 3 judges see the fight the same at 30:27 in favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... David Charles!



185 lbs division fight between Luivel Romero (155107) and Juan "Punch" Tamad (141247)

This is the kinda fight makes me damn glad Im not a judge! Everything was almost equal in the fight. Tamad threw 44 standing punches and landed 20. Romero threw 39 standing punches and landed 22. Both men landed 8 kicks. In the clinch, Tamad landed 1 punch and Romero landed 2. But on the ground Tamad landed 1 strike. The takedowns Tamad got 2 and Romero got 1. And Tamad got 1 clinch. Just not much to differentiate the fighters at the end of the fight. I think if Tamad would of cut a big fart he could of tipped the scales in his direction it was that close. In fact to be honest....kinda made me wish I had went and got a beer like everyone else did....YAWN.

Results: All 3 judges see the fight the same at 28:29 in favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Luivel Romero!



205 lbs division fight between "The Boy Who Lived" Harry Potter (83976) and Calvin Johnson (137439)

Johnson came into the fight with 22 (T)KOs out of his 27 wins and being an elite standup fighter with a record like that, I expected some serious slamdancing of poor Potter's head...until I read further and saw Johnson has a serious cracked-glass chin and has been knocked out 19 times! So with Potter being a sensational boxer/wrestler and having over 50% of his 31 wins coming by knockout...I had to bet on Potter. Being knocked out 19 times can develop a habit if you know what I mean. Like thats gotta cause some drain bamage you know? There was a bit of interesting action to note however, Both men were cut so the vampire crowd was going nuts, and while they were busy drooling, I noticed something. Johnson landed only 19% of his standing punches and Potter landed 52% of his standing punches. Yet in the clinch Johnson landed 56% of his punches and Potter landed only 22% of his punches. And SUDDENLY about 30 seconds into the 2nd round and shortly after he cut Potter with a kick, Johnson gets rocked by a Potter combination! Potter lanches a barrage and the referee stops the fight. WAA WAA WAHAAAAA !

Results: After 0:52 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Harry Potter!



265+ lbs division fight between Yorick "The Last Man" Brown (178737) and Aleksanteri "The Siberian Bear" Karelin (185978)

First strike a Karelin uppercut draws blood from Brown who has a "granite chin but has been lost 8 (T)KOs and none from cuts? Yeah thats a bit strange ha? Anyway...he returns the cut by uppercut a few minutes later, and the vampire crowd is on their feet and security is having issues keeping them back. The entire fight was a BATTLE with one noticable issue...Karelin needs to start using kicks. At this level of fighting, being one-dimensional in your fight style makes u to predictable and perhaps thats why the close decision went to Brown. Maybe if Brown would of had to protect from different attacks he would of been unable to defend them all and been hit more...and lost instead. Karelin also missed all 7 of his ground strikes and I find that difficult to understand how you can miss someone 100% of the time when you are on top of them...

Results: All 3 judges see the fight the same at 28:29 in favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Yorick Brown!



155 lbs division fight between Yngve Ingvar (140275) and "Lightning Kid" Atlas Kivi (134572)

Both men coming off wins and confidence is high in each camp and with 2 fighters with fairly equal ground fighting skills this fight promised to be interesting. I liked this fight right for the beginning. It was the first fight in a long time nobody was cut in the 1st minute! So in the 2nd minute Kivi is cut from an Ingvar elbow while in the clinch. Round 1 was a good round for both men as each were nicely mixing different types of strikes as they tried to see what was working and what was not, but it likely went to Ingvar. However, considering both men are BJJ Black Belts, I was surprised there were no takedown attempts or pulling guard in the clinch. But a minute into round 2, Kivi gets a takedown and of course Ingvar starts working on submissions. Kivi is throwing some ground and pound and tries a submission himself, but the referee is not impressed and stands them up. Round 3 sees Kivi with another takedown and of course Ingvar goes right to submission work...then he gets a sweep reversal from butterfly guard and into a guillotine from the top and its OVER. Tap tap tappity tap ! WAAHAAAA!!! that was some show!

Results: After 2:56 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Yngve Ingvar!



185 lbs division fight between "The Anaconda" Marcos Duarte (120066) and Atte "Teufel" Peltola (177978)

Can you say "ground war" ? Sure you can! Each of the 3 rounds had a takedown within 30 seconds and they shared the priviledge nicely with 2 takedowns each. I sometimes like the interesting stats in a fight. Duarte landed 3x as many standing head strikes as Peltola and threw 3x as few. But when it came to ground strikes Duarte landed only 10% and Peltola landed almost 50%. So Im thinking accuracy versus defense...There were no kicks in the fight so the fight stats seem to be telling me that due to Peltola outlanding Duarte in ground strikes...he was ahead in the fight. But...suddenly halfway through the 3rd round, from the full guard, Duarte pushed a forearm under Peltola's chin, escaped his hips, and pivoted quickly for an armbar, and before you can squeeze off a fart, Peltola was tapping madly....

Results: After 2:28 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Marcos Duarte! Duarte received "Sub of the night" award for this fight.



265+ lbs division fight between Lan "Aanallein" Mandragoran (169650) and Marcus Fenix (186326)

Well both men have 11 TKO losses, but Mandragoran being an elite standup fighter my money was on him. Round 1, Sure enough someone is cut in the first minute...its Fenix. Fenix has 3 takedown attempts stuffed and this fight stays in the standup, but Fenix actually holds his own very well until the 2nd minute of round 2 when Mandragoran lands a big right hand and follows it up with an uppercut. Then another big punch and a knee followed by a big shot to the jaw and Fenix drops to the floor. A vicious 5 strike beatdown by Mandragoran quickly dished out. WAAAHAAAA !

Results: After 2:05 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Lan Mandragoran!Mandragoran recieved "KO of the night" award for this fight.



205 lbs division fight between Charles LaFontier (173319) and Ender Wiggin (80914)

Damn, another 1st minute cut. LaFontier clinches and elbows Wiggin and cuts him. Then the beatdown begins in earnest. Knees, punches and elbows, speaking of elbows...Wiggins gets rocked by an elbow that opens his cut even more and then LaFontier drops him with another elbow. The end. For some reason I am remembering Mike Tyson fights....

Results: After 0:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Charles LaFontier!



145 lbs division TITLE fight between Timofey "Beast" Boyko (151666) and Ein Stein (182566)

Again we see a ground fighter with to much concentration on getting the fight to the ground and then not being able to do much with that position. Stein attempted 21 takedowns and got 6 but spent most that time on the ground improving position (17 times) and landed only 4 strikes in addition to only 2 submission attempts. Pretty much a replay of the same mistakes made just last Feb 14th when Boyko crushed Stein last time they met.

Results: All 3 judges see the fight the same way at 48:47 in favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Timofey Boyko! Timofey Boyko retains his featherweight title! Surprise surprise surprise! I am being told this fight was awarded the "Fight of the night" award. Okayyyyy



205 lbs division fight between Fritzie "The Croatian Comet" Zivic (146462) and "I want to Vomit" Scotty Bennet (167187)

This fight I had great anticipation for. Both fighters are on a win streak, Zivic with 8 wins and Bennet with 3 wins. They are both sensational, well-rounded fighters with their weak areas both in the BJJ abilities. Neither man has a glass chin but both men have knockout power. So I figured this could easily end by knockout or be a battle royale for all 5 rounds. So what happened? Well both men are throwing and landing and sure enough its a war, and can u believe it? nobody was cut in the 1st minute! So the 2nd minute Zivic gets cut when Bennet counters and now the vampire crowd is getting restless. Round one to the war ends with Zivic probably taking it on the scorecards. Round 2, Bennet is kicking and not punching and both fighters show fatigue from the non-stop battle when Zivic drops a shoulder and throws an uppercut that cracks Bennet right on the button knocking him down. Seizing the moment Zivic jumps on him and finishes the job with more strikes. WAAHAAAA !!! Thats was AWESOME !

Results: After 0:51 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Fritzie Zivic! Jubilation from Zivic, and sadness from Bennet who tells the crowd he is going to retire.



Well GAMMA fans I just recieved verification my sexy wife has spent all my money and the bank account is dry so I think Im gonna go put my foot up her arse. WAAAHAAAA !!!! ....so this is Kim Jong-un your favorite "Screamun Koreaun" saying Good nite ! and WAAAAHAAAA" !!!
