2. Former BBFC Light Heavyweight champ Mataitai is one step closer to HFC Gold! Another Nail biter of a decision as Willy Mataitai defeated Randy Randleman by way of Majority Decision. Willy looked great the first two rounds of the fight but it was still up for grabs as they head to the final round. Randleman took advantage in the clinch in round three winning the final frame.

With this win Scooter should rocket himself to a nice spot in the next rankings update. Though nothing is set yet expect something big for Bob next, as he is hitting his stride now in the sport.
5. Leif Counters his way to another Win in his second Title defense! Lets start first with Massive Wanker here, give credit where credit is due, he has done some huge things in the sport. At one time the 18-0 Super Heavyweight looked Unstoppable here at HFC, and at Madness MMA collectively. With 12 of those 18 wins being title fights. The emergence of Leif Leifsson and Olli Lindoholm, and the New Management move has proved to be the end of a dominant run though. With that said HFC embarks on a new era as Leif Leifsson takes the crown and has looked quit impressive thus far. This win over wanker was Leifsson's second title defense since dethroning then champion Boris Krylov back in May. Leif is a pure striker with elite boxing skills and now has 14 KO's to his credit. The Heavyweight champ is looking to put his name up there with Massive Wanker and continue his dominance.
What is next for Leif?
Leif has a little time to enjoy his recent victory while a new challenger is sorted out. One key fight coming up will be Crusty Bigg vs Joe Krutel who faceoff at HFC 90.
In closing lets give Massive Wanker another shout out as he has earned it. Hardcore FC hopes to see you back on track soon big guy, take some time off and figure out what you need to do to get back in the title picture!
