 Hello folks Merlin here bringing you another great Fallen Champions preview! This is the best card in the HISTORY of the Fallen Champions org! We have the Super Heavyweight Title on the line with the Mauy Thai phenom Van Dijk looking to make his mark on the history books. We have the ex Light Heavy champ Shelby Toe, and everybodies favorite underdog Charlie Clock. So lets get it started.....
205lb-Thomas"The Tank"Engine(0-3)(0-2)vsBenancio Izirauregui(0-0)(0-0)-Benancio by UD
265lb+-Mike"Crusher"Born(4-5)(2-2)vsAsk Midgard(2-2)(2-1)-Born by Sub 1st Rd
265lb-Hoho"Hoho"Hoho(3-3)(0-2)vsOrlando Sax(1-0)(0-0)-Sax by UD
155lb-Mike"Brown Pride"Alvarez(3-2)(1-1)vs#6.Lunchmeat Sandwich(3-1)(3-1)-Alvarez by UD
145lb-#5."The Great"Malcolm Masters(9-8)(2-2)vsSir Tristan Blancheflor(2-1)(2-1)-Master by SD
170lb-#2.Severino"Bombita"Bernardo(4-3)(4-1)vs#7.Brynjar Skjeggestad(6-1)(3-1)-In a rematch of top Welterweights, Brynjar is looking to avenge his only career loss. Last time out, Severino was able to ground n pound his way to victory before Brynjar was able to get an offense of his own going. I think that Brynjar is intelligent enough to adapt his gameplan, and make this fight alil more competitive. The winner of this one will prolly get the next title shot, and I see Skjeggestad being that fighter.
265lb-#4.Nick Robinson(5-1)(3-1)vs#5.Charlie Clock(3-2)(3-2)-Top Heavyweights will be going to war in this one. Clock is coming off that impressive upset win against division stand out Solofa Fatu, and will be looking to get himself in the Championship picture having won his last 2 match ups. Robinson has been lingering around the top of the division for sometime now, but recieved his first setback just one fight away from the title. This is going to be a grappling contest as both of these fighters use a high level Sambo style, with a nice mix of wrestling and BJJ. I think Clock's submission game off his back is going to give him the edge in this one, I have him winning by Sub in the 1st round.
205lb-#3."Prodigy"BJ Penn(10-6)(3-1)vs#7.Nickolas Diaz(4-1)(0-0)-Diaz is making his Fallen Champions debute, coming over from the QFC riding a 4 fight win streak. The veteran BJ Penn is looking to add a Championship to his impressive resume, which he fell short of against Shelby Toe at Lost Legends III. Penn has remarkable Boxing, but usually prefers to take the fight down and tap his opponents. Diaz also prefers to take the fight to the mat with all 4 of his wins being by submission. I see Penn putting together his 2nd straight win and putting himself back into the title picture.
205lb-#2.Shelby Toe(5-1)(4-1)vs#6.Gil"Gilly"Gilbert(8-4)(0-0)-Gil is making his Fallen Champions debute after having an up and down productive career, and is looking to make a name for himself in the Light Heavyweight division. He has a tough task ahead though taking on Ex Champ Shelby Toe, who is coming off his first career loss. Toe will be hungry looking to get back on the winning end of things and to get a chance at the Title. Toe will be looking to get the fight on the mat where he is a known finisher, but Gilbert is no slacker on the mat either having 8 submission wins and only having one submission loss. I think Toe will use his remarkable wrestling to get the dominate positions on the mat, but Gilly has a slick BJJ game off his back and will be looking to land a sweep or lock up a submission. I really can't pick a winner in this one, it could go either way!
265lb+ Championship Match-#1.Tjemu Van Dijk(10-2)(3-1)vs#3."Hulk"Hulk Hogan(10-9)(1-1)-With 20 wins between them, and only 4 decisions these two know how to finish. Van Dijk has a wicked Mauy Thai game with some lethal Kicks, and has some descent KO power to boot. With 8 wins by (t)KO he is a very dangerous opponent for anyone, and when you train at the famous Medieval gym with the like of Pellinore, Ban, Toe, and Clock just to name a few people are going to take notice. Hulk Hogan is caming in with this being his 20th fight, and this being his 3rd Title fight so he has no lack of experience. If Van Dijk is able to stuff Hogan's takedown attempts it is going to be a short night, but if Hulk can get the fight to the ground he would be at a big advantage.
There you have it folks a great night of fights, I don't know a better way to spend your Satuarday Night. Make sure to check out our sponsors Pirates Powder, and The Dark Side! Also a special thanks to Mr. Cropper at Hellraiser Fightwear for our great graphics!
