  Hello TTFC fight fans we are here tonight to bring you a wonderful edition of Wensday night fights. With 10 very good bouts on the card this is for sure a must see and one that will be talked about for the ages,but why you may ask? Well in the main event we have Menace looking to defend his newly reaquired belt against a hungry Helio with two different fighting styles what kinda finish will we see tune in to find out. Also in the Co-Main Event we have Rhymes vs Woods both fighters looking for a big W to show that they are contenders for a title shot this is sure to be a great night of fights.
 Main Event
Phantom Menace (34-16-1) vs Mikal Helio (20-5-0)
   In this main event of the evening we are looking at what should be a real crowd pleaser for any type of fan. We have Menace in one corner just earning his belt back with a dramatic TKO victory over Boran going against one of the best this league has to offer in Helio who is coming of a Sub victory over the last contender who got in his way. There should be a lot of deifferent aspects that play out in this fight with each fighter having his own advantage over the other, one thing I must point out though is Menace is a much more experienced fighter here having more wins then all of Helio's fights put together will that be a factor who knows but Helio will have to try something crazy to catch Menace off gaurd because this man has seen it all. I think it's pretty obvious to everyone what each fighters stradegy going into this fight will be Menace wants to stay on the feet while Helio will want to send it to the ground. One interesting stat is that Menace has only been subbed once in his career and that was back in 2009 so Helio needs to be wary about his toughness and try to control him rather then finish. Menace however if all goes according to plan should be going straight for the knock out here,or he could take the more risky route and keep this fight on the feet but land solid jabs and win the decison either way could work but one defect of that plan could be if Helio is allowed to stay around for too long with the superior wrestling he may land a take down only time will tell.
Prediction: Meanace via:TKO
Co-Main Event
Busta Rhymes (29-15-0) vs James Woods (19-10-0) 
  In the Co-Main Event of the ight we have a battle of what it looks to be two fighters that are looking to make a impact on the division showing people that they are potential contenders. Rhymes over the last three fights has went all win with his fights posting a 1-2 record but all fights ending in a TKO,however though this is Rhymes last contender run I think he is getting up there in age and he looks like he wants to go out with a bang. Woods though, seems like the real deal even though coming off a very dissapointing loss to Chavez by TKO in the first round he still has managed to muster up a 3-1 record in his last 4 fights which is no small feat for anyone in a league with such caliber as this. Like most fights there is a stradegy that both of these fighters should probably follow on one hand we have Rhymes who has shown to be a very versatile fighter haveing 8KOs and 9Subs which can make him hard to deal with because it shows this man can finish anywhere in the ring. Now in the other corner we have who I think is a rather underdog in woods I think his gameplan will have to be to use his elite wrestling because he is slightly out matched on the stand-up game. I still fear though for Woods if even if he does get Rhymes to the ground he has to be a very smart fighter and be weary of his opponents submission attempts that can be lethal,but if Woods can get past that and use some Ground n Pound he Could come out the victor.
Prediction: Busta Rhymes Via KO 

  Arnfinn Nesset (22-11-1) vs Van Damme (17-6-0)
    Rolling on to the third fight of the night we run into what seems to be another story of a contender that is looking to put his name in the contender rankings in Damme,while on the other side of the ring we have a fighter that lost to the current challenger for the belt.In my opinion this is going to be a very good chance to see what Damme has coming off of a very impressive 3 fight win streak before signing with TTFC and 2 of those ended via TKO, but in this fight he is going against one of the toughest opponents he has had to fight yet in Nesset. Nesset is coming off a very dissapointing loss to Helio and nothing better would help dull the pain of that loss then a key victory over a up and coming fighter to show that hes not ready to take a back seat in this division yet. Besides the contender ranking drama that will come at the result of this fight we actually have a very interesting matchup. Nesset who is use to the stand-up game has his hands full here with a fighter of the similar style but only better,but that being said he also has a distinct advantage in with his wrestling skill wich if he can use to his advantage it could be his ticket to a unanimous decision. Damme though can really have a easy fights if he uses his skills right I mean he needs to turn this into a muay thai style fight that he is so stranger to if he can do that its a easy win for him and he makes a big bang in his debut not to mention keeping a 4 fight win streak alive never hurts either but only time will tell what happens should be a thriller.
Prediction: Van Damme via TKO 
John Doe (14-8-0) vs Otto von Goldstein (16-13-0)
      Moving on to the third fight we have two new fighters looking to make their debut and show this org what level of skill they have to offer. These new bloods both will need to put out a great preformance here because this fight can go either way pending who shows up as you will see both of these fighters have two opposite styles. Doe is your classical heavy handed stand up brawler amassing 10 stoppages due to strikes and in this fight he will need to use them often and early oe this could be a short night for this competitor. Otto on the other hand I think has a much better chance to win this fight because of his advanced skill set. Otto is probably one of the better wrestler in this division which is deadly own it's own, but throw in Otto's black belt that is a real bad situation for any fighter. Otto I have to think will take this fight in the end i really just think his ground game is just too much to hande for his opponent, however do not count Doe out if he can get the win in this fight thwn look for him to jump straight into the contender race and let me tell you it seems to be a hot one.
Prediction: Otto via Sub
