HERO 33: Vihtala vs Sullivan

Prelims

Lightweight Division:  Randy West vs Sven Hjernson

The majority of this fight was spent on the feet, and that suited Randy West just fine. He was able to gwet through Hjernson's defenses enough to rack up the rounds by a decisive margin. Hjernson tried as hard as he could to get the fight to the mat, but it wasn't enough. Result: West by unanimous decision

COUNTDOWN TO IMMA 87

If I can recommend anything there are two things I can suggest, 1) is you have to catch tomorrows IMMA 87 event and 2) remember to use a lot of toilet paper and to wash your hands after using the bathroom.  I am certain there is a reader out there that just wasn’t paying enough attention to the 1-ply of TP as one of your fingers broke through ply you used to wipe and in a rush forget to wash your hands to get to the delicious one pound bacon cheeseburger you ordered for lunch.  You ate the whole thing with the fries you ordered without using any utensils because you’re a manly man.  Now by reading this you have realized just what have I done?  Did I just eat 1 and a half pounds of food with the hands I forgot to wash? Yes you just did and yes it was 1 and a half pounds of food plus yesterdays leftover.  Nasty you!

Anyways getting to the event, IMMA 87 is presented not to disappoint as it will be electrifying.  You  have the 155 Ass Beater Semi-Finals and the 185 middleweight

Mason Archer v/s Pat McDermot
What a match to begin the event with..the two champions are gonna go head to head to decide who is the best..With slightly better Boxing and MT McDermot looks to have the advantage, but Archer isn’t one to let that stop him..Both have high KO power and also are capable of taking care of themselves..Both are on winning sprees..I expect both the fighters to give it their best..and wouldn’t be surprised if they match each other blow by blow..

Fatu Tua v/s Antonio Manoel
The 265 lbs title is on the line..Tua gets a chance to win back the title that he held for some time..but it isn’t going to be easy..With better MT and a brown belt in BJJ Manoel looks like the better fighter on his feet as well as on the ground..Tua will have to come up with an extraordinary performance to win this one..but then, he is very much capable of doing just that..Both will give it everything..but who will be the better fighter on the day?..lets wait and see..

What a wonderful match this is going to be..With sensational wrestling and  black belt in BJJ Cullen is a sure winner if the fight goes to the ground..And with Sensational Boxing and remarkable MT Plexico can beat the hell out of his opponent if both stay on their feet.. Plexico will look to stuff Cullen’s takedown attempts and try to knock him out..And Cullen will try his best to defend against Plexico’s strikes and take the fight to the ground, where he knows he can win..Striker v/s Grappler..

Kyros Sisyphus after his QFC 15 Tournament win

Fighter profile of Kyros Sisyphus by Luan Dovik

This profile was made after Kyros became a QFC Tournament champion. Right now he became the Omnislash Gauntlet champion and we'll have an interview with him.

There was a time when Kyros Sisyphus just trained wrestling in Athens as a hobby. The greek was only 5 years old when he started and soon it became a passion. He kept training until he met the Brazilian jiu jitsu and with 9 years old , he began training the noble art. It´s been 9 years since then and he moved to Brazil to pursue a career as a mma fighter. He’s amateur record is of 6-1 with the lone defeat being his first fight and a split decision lost that had some controversy on it. 

With only 18 years old, Kyros wants to develop as much as he can and he found in GSF Team,  a family to support him, being so far from home. “It was a difficult time when I came to Rio. I had to work hard a lot and it took some time to be confortable with the new guys at the team, but I feel a lot better now and ready to develop even more”. A few days ago, the golden opportunity appeared: a QFC 170 pound tournament in Rio de Janeiro. Kyros’s been in Rio for 4 months and decided to jump on the opportunity. And he made the most of it.

“I definetly tought that I would take a lot of heart to take this. There were some tough dudes there, man! I had no problem with the first 2 fights. I was able to take the guys down and work my way to the submission. But the semifinal was tough. That took a lot out of me.”

Cosmo Starstryder was the next opponent on his line. And he almost took the greek out of the tournament. With 2 knockdowns, everything seemed lost to Kyros, but he made out of it in impressive fashion. “You know, I was expecting to receive bombs to my chin in this fight, but I had the feeling that I could absorb them well. I was doing i

Rafael Aranyos - Rio"s Perfect Example Of Passion

Fighter profile of Rafael Aranyos by Chris Garcia

Rafael Aranyos started his journey with MMA as BJJ student, who quickly fall in love with MMA. He fought his first fight at age of 18, and continue his amateur run to become 14-4 Amateur Lightweight Champion of Brazil. Promising Lightweight made a decision to drop down to a Featherweight division and start his Pro career. After loosing very close fight, he went back to 155lbs and win 2 of his 3 next bout, wich inlucuded 5 seconds submission victory.

His life wasn't a movie story, of poor underdog going through everything, but it wasn't handed to him as well. He worked hard, to train as much as he could, and still was working to help his family financially. He took a break from MMA, because of tragedy that occured, near to place where they lived. Small viallage, 24 miles away from Rio was completly destroyed by storm. Thunder stroke and almost entire village burned down. Alongside other volunteer he help rebuild village.

After going to 2-2 as a Pro, he moved from Rio to Helsinki, to train at Vicious MMA Academy with other top prospects and current champions in MMA, to improve his game and become better fighter. He left his hometown, family and friends to pursuit his dreams. Rafael believes that only way to become complete fighter is not only train and improve your fighting skills, but you have to be smart to know when use your skills and how to do this.

His BJJ pedigree helps him, as he works as a BJJ coach in local gym, helping kids understand the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He still competes in amateur BJJ events, but he describe it as something he is doing just for fun and what helps introduce Martial Arts,
