Preliminary Bout Number 1- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)

Bud "King Of Beers" Weiser (3-5) {2-5} versus Lygmantas Daunotas (1-1) {1-1}

Weiser is on a four fight losing streak after starting off his career at three and one. He will be looking to get back on track by winning this fight. He will have a slight advantage on the ground so I think he will need to take this fight to the ground as quickly as possible. Daunotas lost his last fight and he will be looking to rebound. The younger fighter Lygmantas does not have an advantage in the standup but he will have a great advantage in the clinch. He will need to take the fight to the clinch quickly and avoid any sort of takedowns in or out of the clinch.

Prediction: Daunotas wins by TKO i

Tom Quin Q&A

Fighter profile of Shogun Iron Tyson by Alika Webb

Q: Dear martial arts fans, it’s been a while but I’m back for another interview with Tom Quin. The 20  year old prospect from Holland who's already fought once for the 145 title. Tom, you lost your first title fight, was it a dissapointing loss?

A: Absolutely, I got dominated and it was very frustrating for me. But don't worry, I will learn from my mistakes and I will get that belt someday.

Q: Tom, after losing in the title fight you needed a win to get back in title contention. Your next fight was against submission specialist Fransino Tirta who had long reigned at the top of the division. Were you anxious to get back in the ring or maybe scared of such a strong opponent?

A: I definitely felt the pressure going in that fight. Not only that but when the fight started I didn't expect Tirta to be so aggressive and I was caught by surprise. He dominated the first round but I came b

GAMMA News!

Global Association of MMA, Fight Organization, London

GAMMA announces The Kids of MMA (TKOMMA)

GAMMA has now created an organization where we will be testing our rookie fighters. This org is for teenagers aged 16 to 19. Anyone which is 20y of age will be released or promoted to our GAMMA contenders organization based in Las Vegas (if they are good enough).

Note: One exception to the 18-19y old rule is if your fighter was started at 16 or 17y. In which case they get promoted or released earlier

The purpose of this organization is:

- Fights will always be relatively even as most fighters will be just 18-19 years of age. Usually for most fighters in the game aged 18-19 they struggle to find fair fights in other orgs or on the QFC circuit. This will basically be the only place you will always be up against other teenagers.

- At just 16-19 every fighter will have some clear weaknesses, it will be up to you to try and manipulate them, so you will get plenty of slider testing

Editorial by King Scooby

 Welcome back fight fans... Its Twelf Thermandin back after a few busy weeks, one where I was able to take down Laph Roaig and submit him after 4 minutes in the prestigious TTFC cages to prove im not yet washed up. If you havent heard it yet, I had the One and Only Rocky McColgan on to talk about his excellence. Im thoroughly convinced that he is one of the best fighters in the world. I challenge all (210K) Heavyweight fighters around the world to try to take him from his pedestal.

 

Tournament weekend should be what we name May third and fourth since we have two amazing events knocking at our doors here in Montreal. The First Burning Bush Tournament will come to an end this weekend as the second round of the 25YO tournament will reach its second round. Tons of cash will be handed out this weekend as the BEEFtalker of the month will be NOBODY! Because nobody mumbled one measly word in our forums this month. Cash rewards go to Rocky McColgan and Tang Lung for being Fighters of the month and Augustus Fink Nottle for being the 25YO build of the month at the tune of $25,000 each!

TKOMMA Sign Young Nevada Amateur Sensation

Fighter profile of Kieran Baxter by Dan Milner

 Championship Association Press has recently learnt that young Nevada native Kieran “The Beast” Baxter has signed with TKOMMA – The Kids Of MMA (youth organisation of the world wide force known as GAMMA) for a contract guaranteeing him 4 fights with the organisation. Baxter, who has been practicing Martial Arts since the age of 9, when he began doing Judo and Tai-Kwon-Do with his father week, and has had 6 amateur bouts (all of which he has won), should not be taken lightly by any of the current crop in the GAMMA development organisation.

Baxter himself was quoted in saying; “It’s a great new experience for me, I’ve really enjoyed my experience in MMA so far and while my parents may have wished I’d have gone off to college first, they’ve said they’ll support me none the less. My dad even still has in his mind he’s my coach, sorry Dad, this isn’t the junior football team anymore!” He said with a smile.

Island Freedom Fighters

Author:

Island Freedom Fighters event: Tso Vs Razin will be held on the 17th of May 2014 at Hayashi's Lounge. This will be an action-packed event with many potentially great fights lined up.

In the first fight on the main card will feature Franklin Diggs & Frank DeNino, with DeNino's superior striking skills in the stand-up department I think will cause problems for Diggs if he decides to stay stood but perhaps he gets a takedown and shows us all how good is ground game really is, This purple belt in Brazillian Jui Jitsui has the potential to submit any MMA fighter so therfore I think Diggs will take it via submission in the 2nd round.

The second fight of the main card features Kenny Barnes & Mac Force, In this fight I think it could be a very close encounter in the stand-up department but the ground game of Barnes is no joke what-so-ever yet he has not been able to display it in any of his fights yet, We have seen glimpse's but not to his full potential of a bl
