OH BOY what a night it was ,RECORD revenue generated from these event, we had a packed arena where 2000 roaring fans paid to see some blood flowing.....


Insane environment in the Hayashi's Lounge we had a small local band singing live ,dragons spiting fire, and this "crazy old Scottish guy" in a kilt joggling bottles of old malt,he is Calum Mcbully older brother, Mcbully's are part of a family run enterprise determined to monopolies the MMA world, and right now they are having legal issues with Island FC..

..so Security got that man out of there to avoid being assaulted by angry Island FC fans.......BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON ladies and gentleman

we had full card 10 fights 9 finishes ,our dominant Heavyweight Champion defending he's belt successfully....now Let me break it down for you:



265lbs TITLE Otis Whittaker vs Jon Jon Stanley

 

I don't care what the rankings say, for me, Otis is the most dominant heavyweight in the island today and I have a feeling he's going to stay there for a long time to come, in these fight he came out all guns blazing ,he used he's footwork and he's speed to puncture trough Jon defenses in just 24 sec....

 

it Was like a drive by, in brrrrrr out and a big right hand to finish procedures....Jon Jon don't even know what hit him....good 1st round tko which earn him the fight of the night award ..

..in a post fight interview he said

"I dare anyone to take my crown! i will be ruthless and Smooth"

(KO of the Night Award)



170lbs Jake Belcher vs DJ Jordan

The former champ wanted to make a statement and win these fight in convincing manner,that way he would be right on contention for another go at belt ,and he did just that, on the walk to the cage you could see the intensity.

 

Jordan Is a powerful fighter with great MT skills but it was not enough against a man on a mission...

Jake Try to finish it without causing he's opponent any damage ,but he could sink the submission attempt so he just controlled position and deliver some vicious ground and pound until the ref stop it..

 

...determined Performance in these 1st round tko win for Jake in the post fight interview he said

 

"I tried to cause no pain....he Should have let me land the americana,it would save him go to the craniologist.

..i Want my belt back!"

 



265lbs Papa Shango vs Theodore Thundercunt

 

Papa has an orthodox boxing style and a tremendous chin ,Theodore the strong wrestler with heavy hands perfect combination of styles in this bloody fight....steward Were moping the canvas in between rounds they trade little from the distance,both fighters seemed happy to clinch and beat the leaving shit out of each other.

 

An absolute blood fest, Thundercut was causing the most damage cutting Papa Shango twice,Shango showed tremendous heart in this back and forward battle that captivated the fans in a way that there was people trying to hang on the edge of the octagon fence.

 

WHAT A FIGHT exiting styles colliding ,...going Into the third both fighters where exhausted and as soon as the bell rung Shango catches Theodore with a stiff right counter,was not a strong strike but he's legs couldn't do it any more and he crumbled.....

Exelent win for Shango ( Fight of the Night Award)

 

170lbsJerry Johnson vs Eric Gabriel

 

Eric is a very confident guy with all those flashy kicks and ape like flexibility, but on these case he was overconfident and underestimate he's opponent athleticism,the fruits of hard labor in the gym and it paid off in this fight for Jerry.


The fighters choose to come in and trade....on Those conditions Jerry had the advantage of a granite like chin and he made the most of it finishing he's opponent in just 48 sec.....quick 1st round tko win for Jerry Johnson 

145lbs Alpha Gamma vs Vito Blaze

This was a decisive fight for Gamma ,the former king of the division had to win this fight and win it well....and He did just that.

Vito was a dangerous opponent with a huge reach advantage and lethal high kicks he would be very dangerous if he could stay on the outside and aggressive.....

 

but Gamma knew that and proved to have a good game plan taking the fight into the clinch which favors he's brawling style ,for me the decisive factor was the excellent body attack in the clinch from Gamma, after the fight was finished he was ferociously screaming:

 

"I want my belt back".....clinical 1st round tko win for Alpha Gamma

155lbs Kinsley Babajide vs Blaster Monocastor

 

This is Kinsley second fight for the promotion impressive until now showing amazing submission skills and clinch control position from which he pulls guard as he's trade mark move ,when he hits the ground,he's like a fish in the water and he moves like a snake he is extremely aggressive off he's back normally..

 

..but This time he choose to reverse and advance position....then He pulled a rabbit of he's hat....grabed The arm of Moncastor and cranked until he taped.....

apart From a couple of good high kicks Moncastor had nothing for Kinsley.....bad Fight for a less educated audience but this was a tactical master piece from Kinsley ...this Guy means business and send a clear message to the all division...

..good 2nd round submission win for Kinsley

(Submission of the Night Award)

 

265+lbs Test Rage vs Root Paul

 

In the end of the day, it was a masterpiece performance from Rage,this was only he's 2nd professional mma fight but he looked like a seasoned veteran in there ,acuracy rate on strikes was second to none and the sheer agression on he's clinch assaults left Paul with no answers,he did try to take the fight to the ground where he would have had a slight advantage.

mentaly he doesnt look in the right place and he's tendecy to get cut is changing he's looks so much that in he's hometown they started calling him "the Scar"...

never The less,I give him credit and respect because he always shows up ,and he's a good professional...

2nd round tko win for Test Rage...moving up the lader

145lbs Jesus Icon vs Hector Hernandez

 

This one was quick ,not much to call here Hernandez rushed into the takedown got it ,but was careless with he's defence and Icon submit him in just 27 sec.I think Hernandez was overconfident and pay the price of underestimating he's opponent lighting fast thinking...

quick 1st round submission win for Icon

 

 

185lbs Islam Sulimani vs Igor Abramov

 

Sulimani came her needing a win,he was 0-2 and needed a win to boost he's moral he came up against a dangerous opponent with very leveld skills ....and both fighters had similar game plan too....

 

so what we saw was a war of atrition....it was the longest fight of the night but we had loads of action trough out the 3 rounds,not much technic in display but they came to fight and both wanted to win theese badly...in a close fight the decision win went to the fighter with the most takedown success, and that was Sulimani...

 

.Revitalizing decision win for Sulimani



155lbs Obat Timur vs Troy Jackson

In this fight we had two wrestlers still looking for their first win as mma fighter....They desperatly needed a win here to boost confidence....

the fight went the way we expected(wrestling match) with both fighters sticking with what they know best....the fight started with Jackson instigating a clinch,I guess that was the plan, to brawl and grind but Timur was clever and he pulled guard

 

.....Jackson was trying to control him using stalling tactics but Timur looked determined,and was very aggressive of he's back eventualy catching Jackson with an armbar.....clever submission win for Timur....back on track

And that was it ,another page has been written for Island FC ,we couldnt do it without the colaboration of all dedicated managers taking OUR promotion forward.....Me ,JJ , and Rico which you all good preparation for the upcoming events we have a couple of surprises coming up....Island FC the place to be......
