FEEL DI RHYTHIM!!! Sorry for di lateness, folks. Ganja's been a bit busy with work. By work I mean getting so high I forgot my aunt's birthday was yesterday. I ended up running three miles to her house and handing a last minute gift. She didn't complain, a pound of herb and a diamond necklace are top-quality gifts in my opinion. Anyways, he have done it! The heavyweight final is finally here! Over the last few weeks, Four Kings has held a electrifying tournament that has seen fighters rise and fall. With the $100,000 dollar prize, it was obvious this one would be fire works. A sold out Beer Garden was the place to be, or at your house watching it on TV, whatever floats your boat. This arena has an ironic name for being in the capital of ganja here in Europe. Nonetheless, it was something to watch. Carlos Quintana, the hard-hitting, overweight striker who knocked out Uche Mohammed to win the heavyweight crown. Steve Rogers, the self proclaimed "American Hero", a Muay Thai machine who climb up the heavyweight rankings by knocking every opponent out. This is the type of match that gets Ganja excited! Two strikers battling for the heavyweight crown, it's like Ganja in a medicinal marijuana store. But please, you didn't come here to read my senseless rambling. You came for a recap and if you just wait a fucking second, you'll get one. Let's review the fights, shall we?


Main Event:


"Captain America" Steve Rogers (8-1) Vs. Carlos "Bam Bam" Quintana (6-0)

WAR!!! This is exactly what I'm talking about. This isn't a bunch of anaemic 18-year olds brawling for some ridiculous amount of money. This is war, for the glory and the Four Kings gold. You also win a date with Ganja with every title belt won. These guys are pretty much the same. Rogers focused on a Muay Thai style and Carlos Quintana has a well-rounded game but they both refuse to go down to the ground! It's always exciting for the fans. Sadly for Quintana, his attack was completely neutralised. Rogers clinch from the start of the fight and refused to let go. He kept the champion pressed up against the cage as he battered him with punches. Quintana wasn't able to fight back, Rogers' relentless pace kept him at bay. "Bam Bam" tried a few punches of his own but they proved to be useless. I've never seen someone dominate Quintana like that. Rogers opened up a huge gash ear

ALWC 22 Heavyweight Dominance



The Red Light Arena in Amsterdam August 29th 2012



This event will present several great fights in the 135,145, and 155 divisions but the highlight will be in the super heavyweight division including the crowing of our first SHW champion.



Starting off the main card with a bang is:

Argo Surtr 16-5-1(3-0) vs. Villi Kotobalavu 26-11-2(0-1) at 155 pounds.



Surtr is a strong veteran who has done well since coming to the ALWC and is looking for a key win here to promote his case for a title shot. He runs a very conservative game plan utilizing his clinch game in balance with a deadly set of feet that can end any fight in a hurry if the opportunity presents itself.

Kotobalavu is a very experienced fighter (39 fights) that came into ALWC with a tough loss but if looking to turn that around with a win against another top contender. Koto is a balanced fighter that looks to drag the fight out and out last his opponent. In this matchup Koto will likely try to bring this one to the ground.



Pablo Escobar 13-5(1-1) vs. Hank Hillbilly Iii 5-1(new) at 135 pounds.



This fight features two great fighters in the little mans division. The always popular Escobar (6th most popular 135er in the world) is starting on the road to earn another title shot after losing his attempt at the title against Jake Nelson. Escobar has a

Benny St. Breeze Over Daniel Hill  Via Armbar (Sub of the Night)

  In this fight we had a very determined Breeze lookin to get rebound from his last loss and that is exactly what he did in this fight.At the start of this fight we had Breeze set the pace with the clinch showing exactly how agressive he wanted to be never letting up the pace. Now after the the clinch Breeze went right out there and took Hill down which is where I think we all knew the fight would end and it did. Not too long after he was stood up he got the take down once again and decided that this fight needed to be ended and it was after a little grappling Breeze isolated a arm and extended his hips and got the tap that he was craving ever since he accepted the fight.

Leo Bennet Over Dog Dog Via Decision 

  In the second fight of the night we had another dominant preformance that was put out by Bennet. Bennet came out and just controlled this fight with the takedown and that was repeated all night. After he was able to get the take down bennet just controlled the fight almost effortlessly using ground and pound to score points with the judges and also soften up his opponent. Dog did show somefight though he never gave up while trying a few Subs off his back and getting a take down of his own it just did not seem like anything went his way that night.

Soa Kawai Over Paolo Antunes Via KO

The third fight of the night lets just say ended in a very big misfortune fot Antunes. Kawai did however come out and was just relentless in his pursuit for the win not letting the gas peddle up with his agression set at a very high level. This agression paid off big time not very long into the fight when Kawai caught and stunned his opponent with a cross and Kawai being the fighter that he is he recognized this and jumped in for the kill and he was able to finish the fight. However, for Antunes he should not keep his head down maybe he just got caught with a lucky punch it happens to everyone he just needs to bounce back.

Dominoe Knocks Over Daws Berrera TKO

 Now in the fourth fight of the night we saw a great show of the advantage of being a well experienced fighter. Starting this fight we saw Berrerea just laying on the heat not giving him any room he really looked like he was going to give knocks a hard time. Although as the first round went on that took a quick turn as Knocks waited out his opponent and turned on just at the right time and completly changed the momentum in Knocks favor. As Knocks turned up the heat he just started connecting with

This past Saturday night, Aug 25/2012, Tapout or Passout FC held another top notch sellout event at The Underground in Montreal.  It was an action packed  night of fights from top to bottom of the card.  So without further delay let's breakdown the fights and see who took a step forward in becoming a legend in the world of MMA!!!!


Our First battle on the main went down in the WW division:


"The Shining Wizard" Hiroshi Hase  vs.  George "Rush" St. Pierre


This one was the textbook striker vs. grappler battle.  Hase came into it with bad intentions throwing hands.  He had a fight resume littered with "KO of the Night" awards and was looking to add to his bank account int this tilt.  St. Pierre had an intresting build up to this one.  He was dropped by his manager only weeks before the fight but hung in there and trained hard to meet his contracted fight obligation.  Would he be able to handle the heat of Hase though???  As the bell rang for round one Hase shocked everyone and scored a nice trip takedown!!! He knew enough not to fiddle faddle down on the mat for long though and risk the submission attacks of GSP and made his way back the standup position.  Predictably Hase started to pepper GSP with crisp boxing as he defended takedown attempts.  St. Pierre knew the game though and was relentless finally dragging Hase to the floor...but wait Hase popped right back up and the round came to an end.  In the second GSP smothered his opponent with clinch, takedowns and top control and took the round on most observers scorecards.  Hase came out in the final frame frustrated and on the attack.  In seconds he clipped "Rush" with a cross and deposited him on the canvas then lept into his guard landing a massive punch and turning out the lights.  It was Henderson vs. Bisping all over again!!!!  Another KO of the night award for Hase and a huge win!! 


The next pugilistic affair on the main card took place in the 145lb. division:


"Mister" Craig Anderson  vs.  Luke Taylor li


This one was interesting coming in.  Both fighters having undeveloped standup skills it appeared like a technical grappling struggle off the hop.  Only question was would Anderson deploy his sweet BJJ skills and force a tap or would Taylor stifle him with superior wrestling???  Well it wouldn't take long to get an answer.  Taylor shot the takedown straight away and secured it...funny thing is Anderson seemed totally fine with it and started firing off subs all over town.  After what was deemed a

BFT 132 The Dome 2 Review
 
Main Event - Light Heavyweight Title - Ken Tentheros KO'ed  Jake the Snake in RD 4 at 3:57.
 
This fight had Ken's name written all on him. In the first two rounds, Tentheros was able to take The Snake to the ground and control him. Snake did what he could to try to finish him, but it was to no avail. The Snake took some real ground and pound punishment in the third round and looked like he was finished there for a while. He pulled himself together at the end of the round but it was not for long. The fourth round started with sone solid standup, but it wasn't long before "The Dime" got to work with some ground and pound from the mount and found a way to seal the deal. 
 
Co-Main - Middleweight Title - Akihito "Rikiya" Tatsuhiko Jr. knocked out Amir "Scorpion" Khan in RD 3 at 3:56.
 
This turned out to be an extremely interesting fight. The first round had "Rikiya" get the takedown. The two of them went back and forth trying different subs on each other rolling around trying to get the better position on the ground. At the end of it, Tatsuhiko was able to do enough to take the round. The second round had Khan get the take down, but Tatushiko did not approve. He was able to get his way to the top and even though Khan went full out on submissions, it was the ground work of Akihito that stole the round. In the third, Tatsuhiko was able to utilize his clinch to set up a takedown and pulverize Khan. The ref had no choice but to stop the fight. 
 
Lightweight Title - "Mace" Enrico Mazzarri technically knocked out "Pride of house" Hussak Claw in RD 1 at 4:55.

Fans in Tokyo were treated to a tremendous night of MMA action when The Syndicate invaded the Tokyo Dome Saturday night.  With over 36,000 fans in attendance, fighters gave it their all on a card that saw two titles change hands.  The judges had a busy night at Syndicate 130, with six of the ten bouts on the fight card going the distance, but fans were still treated to their fair share of brutal knockouts.  Let's review the action.


Featherweight Jamie Reyes (13-3) picked up his 13th career win and got stronger as the fight went on in his matchup against Dwayne Hicks (18-9).  Reyes proved to be the aggressor in round one, throwing multiple punches and kicks to keep Hicks off balance.  Hicks did his best to try and control the pace of the fight, twice pulling Reyes into the clinch to slow the action.  It was a close round of action, but Reyes' aggression appeared to be just enough to win him the round.  Reyes opened up in round two, really starting to shift the momentum in his favor with well timed punches and carefully placed leg kicks.  With Hicks appearing to be running out of gas, Reyes continued to pour on the punishment in round three.  With just over two minutes gone in the round, Reyes rocked Hicks with a wicked shot to the chin.  Hicks somehow managed to keep his wits about him and prevent Reyes from taking him down, and survived until the end of the round.  Reyes clearly won the favor of the judges, picking up a 30-27 unanimous decision win.


Tweedle Dee (14-4-1) came out and made a statement against Hofniel Apollyon (15-5) in our second contest, putting Syndicate middleweights on notice that he is a force to be reckoned with.  Dee avoided Apollyon's initial attack with ease, and after a failed clinch attempt, dropped his opponent to the ground  with a nice takedown into side control.  Dee wasted no time moving into full mount and started raining down punches on Apollyon.  Apollyon initially put up resistance, but eventually succumbed to Dee's nasty ground and pound and had to be saved by the referee at the 2:38 mark of round one.<

265lbs - Current geezers heavyweight title holder Jack Potatos welcomes former p4p king Anton Chigurh to Geezers to collide in one of the greatest superfights in organizational history. These soldiers are the cream of the crop in the sport of mixed martial arts and have fought the best fighters to ever exist in the realm of combat. Chigurh has a healthy advantage in the clinch and with his kicks, providing him with some interesting options in the fight. Potatos is a very dangerous and durable fighter with crushing power and a threatening ground assault. He has proven in the past that he can absorb some crushing strikes, adding to his confidence in his striking and allowing him to really commit to his offense. If Chigurh can keep the fight in the clinch and stifle the ground assault he is in good form to claim victory. Potatos needs to draw his foe into a brawl and find a way to utilize his potent top ground and pound game.  Although Potatos seems to have a few minor advantages and has a cement chin, I think the clinch assault of Chigurh will be far too powerful to overcome and the former pound for pound champion will win via TKO in the 3rd round.

265+lbs - It is Geezers priviledge to welcome top notch world class warriors Brock Sampson and Emeka Shakur to the organization as they prepare to share the cage in one of the biggest superfights in the companys history. The amount of experience and skill these men bring to the cage is simply astronomical. Sampson has pierced through the ranks mainly by dismantlin
