Come one, come all! Behold the next big thing, Attack Fight League! Attack Fight League brings you the first installment of Attack Fight Night! The crowds waited hours for the opening of ticket sales, and every seat in the house was gone in under 5 minutes!!! A new Tokyo Undergroung record!
Vincent Chase v Sasmuki Lombardi- The night begins with a fight that promises action! These two men leave nothign in the cage. Chase comes into this fight with a very deceiving record. Although he is 1-5, he has faced some of the best up and coming fighters in the game. His combined opponent record is a staggering 26-10. Chase will be looking to begin to reclaim some lost honor and repair his damaged record. Chase is new to MMA, having only been training for a year, but he expects to use his respectable boxing skills to grab his victory. However, as has been the case in Chase's career, he as a tough task ahead of him. Sasmuki is a highly skilled Muay Thai practitioner who has trained in the skill in his father's gym since he was a boy. After early career struggles the 24yo fighter now rides a 2 fight win streak, and is determined to make it threw in a row.
Eddy Cordo v Tokugawa San- The next fight is considered by many to be the early favorite for FOTN. Or at least KOOTN. These two men have finished every fighter they have beaten. The "KO Machine" has a highlight reel head kick KO and a flying knee KO to his credit. Having been blessed with KO Power, Cordo will be looking to end San's night early. At 6 years the elder to his opponent, Cordo feels he has the edge in experience and skill. However, San is a respectable striker in his own right. Although he has 1 KO loss on his record, his trainer claims it was a fluke as the fighter has fought many amateur fights and shown a granite chin. San's trainer claims the 11 fights Cordo has fought have actually given the edge to San, because they have studied his tapes move by move, while tape on San is near impossible to come by.
Brock Lenny v Nick Diaz- The third fight of the card pits the mid card drifter, Lenny vin a rematch vs. the highly skilled Diaz in what looks to be a showcase to get Diaz back on track. Diaz began his career with an 8-0-1 record before dropping his last two fights. Not known to have great power, Diaz uses his quickness and skill to leave no doubt in the judges' minds on the outcome of his fights. Lenny claims that the outcome to this fight will be much different than their earlier fight. Lenny apparently called out Diaz and says that he has fixed the holes in his game that cost him their first fight. Lenny feels that his conditioning has improved, and that he will be much more prepared to fight a drawn out fight like Diaz is known to fight.
Rui Yoshida v Andrey Vega- This LHW battle will bring a contrast of styles to the cage. Yoshida is a submission specialist who has shown abilities well beyond his modest purple belt. He has tapped 4 out of his 5 opponents in under one round, and 2 of these men in under a minute! A very impressive run start to his career indeed! However the BJJ prodigy will have his hands full with the much older, and well rounded Vega. Vega has a massive advantage over Rui in the striking department. He also has an equal level purple belt to negate the submission skills of Yoshida. Vega has claimed that he will pull the BJJ stud out of his element and keep him standing. Once there Vega feels Rui will die like a fish out of water. However Yoshida's camp claimed their fighter has a granite chin, and that they doubt Vega has the power to KO their guy.
Johnny Chase v Junko Hatoru- The next fight on the card will see the second Chase brother of the night out of Ari Gold's camp face off against the well rounded Junko Hatoru. Chase will no doubt be looking for those arm locks that he loves so much to finish the fight early. Chase has 5 wins, all by arm locks, and feels that Junko has holes in his ground game that the fighter can exploit. Junko, on the other hand, also has 2 armbar wins to his credit and claims that his BJJ pedigree is a higher level than Chase's background at the GTI gym. "Takeshi" claims that is is more than confortable on the ground with Chase, and says that he can finish the fight where ever Chase wants to fight it. Junko was quoted as saying, "We can fight this battle anywhere Chase would like to fight it, on the ground, on the feet, at the concession stand, in the cheap seats, it does not matter. I can and will beat Chase anywhere this fight goes." Looks like someone may be leaving this one without an arm!
Ryo Ishizaki v Akisame Koetsuji- the roll call of bad ass submission fighters continues! Next up to the cage is two fighters who have tapped 10 of the 14 mean they have defeated combined. Akisame is no stranger to tough fights, as he has fought some of the toughest guys in Tokyo in his 9 career fights. He has subbed 5 opponents to date and is looking to add to his credentials. Tapping Ryo would be a major gold star on his record for sure! However Ryo will be no fish to be feasted on for Akisame. Ryo, who is accompanied to thecage by former ONI locker room whore Lucy Vag, claims that he has something terrible instore for Akisame. Lets hope it isn't crabs!!!!! With the fight being such a close call, Ryo's camp claims that he amped up his training this camp, and is in the best shape of his life. Will it be enough?
el Steveo v Nick Pierre- This is the main event of the evening!!!! Nick Pierre comes into the fight as one of the bright young stars in the AFL. Winning 5 of his first 6 career fights and blessed with KO power, Nick is looking to make a name for himself in the AFL. He feels that he can take his skills to the next level in this up and coming org. "Homie" feels that he is too young and explosive for his 8 years the elder opponent. Pierre is looking to end this fight early and make a statement to all of the AFL fighters in his division. The real story of this fight for el Steveo may be the rumored mental health issues arising from his camp. It was claimed that the fighter tried to pull out of this fight 3 days before the weigh-ins and check into a mental health facility. He is rumored to have been suffering from major bouts of depression and attempted suicide weeks before the fight. His camp has only confirmed an unprecedented drop in their fighter morale, eventhough he currently rides a 3 fight win streak. Friends close to the fighter claim he has been wearing the same clothing for several months now! Will el Steveo be able to over come his mental state to pull out this highly unlikely win, or will he suffer a defeat that may lead to him visiting Dr. Drew's mental health facility in the Bahamas? Get down to the Underground this week to find out!!!!!!!
