SFC 40 – Berdich vs Wayne Review
February 22nd
Hard Knocks – Los Angeles (3,000)
------------------
Main Event
Bantamweight Championship
Andy Berdich vs Lil Wayne
Andy Berdich started from trying everything to take this fight to the ground. Lil Wayne was very calm and looked unimpressed with those tries, occasionally countering his opponent and pushing him to the cage. Nice cross at the end of first minute seemed to rock his opponent, but Wayne surprisingly didn’t become more aggressive, even when his opponent was on wobbly legs. But when he saw after short while, that Berdich is nothing more about than regaining his conscious- then he attacked wildly, but also very intelligently. Strike after strike, hit after hit, gaining confidence until climax with big right overhand, which dropped Berdich down. And we have a new Bantamweight

 Fight Talk with Joe Hogan
Joe Hogan: Hi, I'm Joe Hogan with BFC Light Heavyweight rising star, Adrien Silva. How are you today?
Adrien Silva: Fine...
Joe Hogan: It has been announced by Zachary "Zap Zap" White that he'll be dropping to 135 after his contract with BFC is up. Causing complication with your potential Catchweight fight. What are your thoughts?
Adrien Silva: I'm upset. It's a fight I really wanted... It's looks way out of reach now.
Joe Hogan: So the feud is over?
Adrien Silva: I suppose. I mean, the fight was sort of ridiculous to begin with. With us dropping and gaining so much weight probably wouldn't have been a bright idea, but it's a fight I wanted and I think it could have been one of the all time greats. With Zach dropping to Bantamweight makes it extremely difficult for us to meet... if it wasn't already to begin with.
Joe Hogan: Do you think he's avoiding you?
Adrien Silva: Nah, no way. Th

 Q: Dear martial arts fans, it’s been a while but I’m back for another interview with Tom Quin. The 19 year old prospect from Holland signed a new contract with BEEF in Montreal. Tom, it’s been a while since we’ve last talked, could you give us a short summary of the events that have occurred since our last interview?
Tom: Last time we did an interview I was scheduled to fight Mike Marin, the guy called me out and I responded. We had some words to hype up the fight and then I dominated and even finished him in the first round. By defeating Marin I got into the finals of the consolation bracket of BEEF’s tournament to crown their first 145 champion. The other semi-final match was only scheduled after my fight with Marin happened so the org owner gave another fight to stay busy.
Q: Who was your next opponent?
Tom: Dark Warrior was as his name suggest a warrior. He dominated me on the ground in the first round but I kept my cool and came back with a vengeance. I rocked him, dropped him with a powerful right hand and kept punching until the ref stopped it.
Q: You said you got dominated in the first round, do you think future opponents saw some of your weaknesses in that fight?
Tom: To be honest: yes. I do think my weakness

 GAMMA is now merging with founding GEG partner Versus of London! We have a long relationship with the premier London organization going back to 2012 and the owner of Versus, Edward Banger is not only a close friend and business partner, but also a GAMMA veteran manager which has held the 205lbs title with John "The Misanthrope" Galt.
On the one hand this is fantastic news for our GAMMA fans and supporters as it will setup some long awaited super fights among some of the best fighters in the business, however it is also a massive blow to the GEG block as a whole because we are losing one of our most valued members.
Versus is a consistent performer in the top 10 orgs worldwide and has one of the deepest and most respected veteran rosters on the planet with 23 p4p ranking top 1000 fighters, so this merger will effectively push GAMMA (which is ranked top 5) even higher among orgs worldwide.
Several of the Versus fighters have already started to move over, but the majority will be joining up in the next 2 weeks, which should take our roster size to around 160 total fighters, with about 40-50% of those being in the top 1000 p4p worldwide. We wil

![]() Editorial by East Coast Fighting Championship Evolves into 200k+ ID league
Organization owner Derek Patterson released a statement “East Coast Fighting Championship is looking to capture the up and coming talent, and create an atmosphere where they can thrive. This change to ECFC is going to give our org a niche within NY, as we hope to establish ourselves as a premium organization quickly”.
Natural selection is the process by which biological traits become either more or less common in a population in a function of the effect of inherited traits on the differential reproductive success of organisms interacting with their environment. ECFC is hoping this evolution as a business will drive success, the jury is still out, but early response is positive.
Newly signed fighter Micah Fatu when reached for comment has this to say: “The change to ECFC is going to benefit me greatly; it has leveled the playing field for myself and countless other fighters, and provided us an opportunity to grow. This org has welcomed me with open arms and provided me with a competitive opponent right out the gate”. This seems to be the case as Fatu is attempting to resurrect his career in an upcoming fight against Jason Hernandez at “ECFC 5 – Bova vs Riley” after being cut by his previous manager.
ECFC currently has three upcoming events, but next on the docket is:
“ECFC 3 -

 Vegas Fight Night 2 Event Preview
Tonight kicks off VEGAS FIGHT NIGHTS 2nd event . It comes live from The Underground in Las Vegas. We have an exciting card here tonight featuring a match up for the vacant Vegas Fight Nights Welterweight Championship as well as the semi-finals of an 8 man heavyweight tournament to decide a Heavyweight Champion of Vegas Fight Nights.
Charles Clark vs Steve Lattimer
Our first match of the evening is two men making their VFN debut. First we have Charles Clark coming in with a record of 1-0. Clark will be looking to take this fight to the ground and work his ground game. His opponent Steve Lattimer is also a grappler but appears to have a weaker BJJ game so maybe he should look to control the fight in the clinch and avoid going to the ground.
John Johnson vs Majstor Zivota
Up next we have a classic “striker vs grappler” match up. John Johnson will be looking to keep this fight sta
