Claymore Elite Combat
CEC 530 - Karim Bashorov (33-6-1) Vs Antonio Jose De Sucre (22-13)
What’s more to be said of the legend that is Karim Bashorov? The living legend has been one of the most dominant fighters on the planet in recent memory. A decision loss in a superfight for the ages against Steve Belliveau proved but a minor setback as Karim Bashorov is back on track, once more he is the best in his division the world round. The number one pound for pound spot still eludes him but he is well on his way to regain his greatness of old and the next obstacle on his path to retake the throne is Antonio Jose De Sucre. On a fifteen fight winning streak is the challenger, undefeated since signing with a new manager almost a year ago. Can the challenger take advantage of the significant weight and age difference and make history or will the wily legend put his experience at the highest level to work and end the undefeated streak of the five year younger challenger?
Karim Bashorov’s diversity is the key to his success. He can stand and trade with the best of them, a torrent of stinging punches raining over his foes while the threat from below keeps them on their toes. Like the kraken he lurks in the deep, always ready to drag his opponent to the mat. His grappling is his forte and it’s always a pleasure to watch the master at work. Thundering ground and pound blows, smooth transitions and lethal submissions are his trademark but the grappling wizard never takes any unnecessary risks. There is a sense of near perfection in the execution of his cunning game plans. Can the new CEC light heavyweight champion re-establish his dominance as he faces his first challenger?
Before this legendary fighter stands a beast in his own right, Antonio Jose De Sucre is an absolute striking machine. A true force to be reckoned with, Antonio Jose De Sucre has finished more fights than the champion and all his finishes have come by strikes. Like the champion, he loves to set a dire pace and swarm the opposition with a thunderstorm of hard-hitting blows. Ravaging kicks and savage punches take away his opponents’ will to win and raise his hand at the end but will the same be true for his next fight as Karim Bashorov is on a level this machine has never faced before. Will the ground game of the champion force the challenger to take caution or will he boldly keep moving forward with reckless abandon?

Lee Sang Seok Vs Philip Gallagher PREVIEW

Hardcore Fighting Championship
HFC 111 - Lee Sang Seok (14-3) Vs Philip Gallagher (18-12)
In St Petersburg’s number one organization, one man has been wreaking havoc in the lightweight division. Lee Sang Seok’s only defeat since joining HFC has been a title fight against then lightweight champion and current featherweight champion Cristian Tavares. That loss snapped a four fight winning streak but now the grappling standout is back on track with three consecutive wins under his belt. To keep walking the path of victory he’ll need to overcome the talented striker Philip Gallagher. A man on a mission looks to rebound from a sour defeat and to establish his dominance in his promotional debut. Gallagher has been a mainstay for over a year in the Underground organization but he decided to make a career switch as a title fight ended in bitter defeat. Now he will be baptized by fire as he is set to debut for HFC against the greatest foe the division has to offer. Will Philip Gallagher be able to rise to the challenge or will he be fed to the wolves as he takes on grappler extraordinaire Lee Sang Seok?
A Brazilian Jiu Jitsu red belt, Lee Sang Seok has a stunning number of ten submission victories on his resume. Never does he take the long road, this energetic young warrior lives and breathes grappling and he doesn’t waver in his quest to take you down to the ground. He may not be mistaken for a one trick pony though, strikes with tremendous speed land with superb accuracy and there is no quit in Lee Sang Seok, no matter how much trouble he faces. Nevertheless, it is on the ground where he should be feared the most. Pulverizing ground and pound strikes land with lethal intent and open the gates for slick submissions to finish the job.
Facing the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu red belt is the pure striker Philip Gallagher, making this a classic striker Vs grappler match-up. Gallagher’s style can only be described as brawling in its purest form. He stands in front of you and unloads on you with a multitude of strikes until only one man remains standing. The distance he strikes from is irrelevant as he can take some tremendous amounts of punishment and is always ready to dish out some of his own. He strikes with all his weight behind it and is never afraid of taking a risk if it comes to finishing the fight but will he still be able to take such risks when Lee Sang Seok is on the prowl for a takedown?
