 Alpha-1 Promotions:  A New Beginning​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Author: Jimmy Normal


Alpha-1:  A New Beginning, the inaugural event for the newpromotion is now in the books and by many metrics was a resounding success!  PPV viewers were greeted by a boisterous crowd of over 87,000 screaming fans.  I caught up with Kishion Mathew cageside as he signed an exposed titty for one adoring fan, and when asked for comment, he just flashed a smile and signalled that this was not the time; he was here to have fun, just like everyone else.  Let’s get into the action!

 

PRELIMS - 135lb CONTEST:  Mikey Day vs Usko Matonen

I had my eye on this one and suggested you make time to check it out.  I admire both fighters, but something about Mikey Day just does it for me.  He’s not necessarily a flashy guy and fans haven’t gravitated towards him, but you simply cannot deny the man is a force.  He’s always working, doesn’t take a night off and has really turned himself around since switching to manager Kevin Connolly (https://mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=74790).  Tonight he managed to avenge a loss to foe Usko Matonen, who didn’t appear to bring his A-Game for the fans.  Day handled this one from the opening bell and took home a well earned unanimous decision win in the process.

 

PRELIMS - 155lb CONTEST:  Kree P Krawlee vs Lazuran Riku

Another fighter I’ve been following is Kree P Krawlee.  Krawlee has improved his consistency since he underwent a change in management and started fighting under the stewardship of Slobo Dragovic (https://mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=32350).  As mentioned in my preview of the card however, Krawlee faced off against a formidable and much more experienced opponent.  Lazuran Riku put the world on notice that he is no stepping stone tonight and came out guns blazing, countering and landing with bad intention.  In the end, Krawlee’s chin couldn’t stand up to Riku’s power and the 43 year old journeyman bounced out of the arena with another t(KO) victory.

 

CO-MAIN EVENT 185lb CHAMPIONSHIP:  Yes Man Sanchez vs Ibrahim Camara

We’re onto the Co-Main Event now, featuring a trilogy fight between Sanchez and Camara for the Middleweight Title.  The fighters enter this one with something to prove to the fans and themselves.  While both men remained active throughout, it was Camara with the tireless pressure in this one.  He forced action from the opening bell, moving forward, throwing and clinching if his shots weren’t landing.  Sanchez played a smart game landing counters and performing well in the clinch.  The cut man paid a visit to each corner in this one and it was a thoroughly entertaining fight for the fans.  Camara gets his hand raised for a convincing unanimous decision win and puts this rivalry to rest for now.  AAAANND NEW MIDDLEWEIGHT ALPHA-1 CHAMPION...IBRAHIM CAMARA!

WINNER:  Ibrahim Camara (UD)​​​​​​​

Jimmy’s Prediction:  Camara by Stoppage (0-1)

 

MAIN EVENT - 170lb CHAMPIONSHIP:  Humors Lacplesis vs Max Chaos

Humors Lacplesis put his 170lb strap on the line against game challenger Max Chaos.  Chaos came into this one willing to leave everything in the cage, throwing hands, kicks and taking the fight to the ground.  Lacplesis has seen it all though and was prepared for anything and everything.  Humors Lacplesis remained focused and patient, weathering a 1st round storm from Chaos, methodically chipping away at his opponent through the middle rounds and keeping his cool in the 5th to offer a lesson in resilience.  I don’t believe we’ve seen the last of Max Chaos however.  AAAANND STILL WELTERWEIGHT ALPHA-1 CHAMPION...HUMORS LACPLESIS!

WINNER:  Humors Lacplesis (UD)​​​​​​​

Jimmy’s Prediction:  Lacplesis by Unanimous Decision (1-1)

 

FOTN:  Yes Man Sanchez vs Ibrahim Camara

KOTN:  Lazuran Riku

SOTN:  Mono Loco
