Fallen Champions

Author:Jonah King

Its Fight Time folks, and we have another great Lost Legends series event! We have 10 great action packed match ups scheduled this Satuarday Night at Hayashi's Lounge! I'm not going to lie fight fans, this looks like it could be the best card ever put together at Fallen Champions so lets not waste anymore time......


185lbs-Rafael Silva(1-1)(1-0)vsJohn Karlsson(1-0)(1-0)-Karlsson by (t)KO in 1st Rd


135lbs-#9.Bobby Roach(3-3)(0-2)vsEvander Mackenzie(0-2)(0-1)-Roach by Sub in 2nd Rd


145lbs-#9.Spider Silva(4-6)(3-1)vsDewayne Bryant(2-2)(2-1)-Silva by UD


205lbs-Devils Reaper(2-1)(1-1)vsDanny Wait(1-1)(1-0)-Reaper by Sub in 2nd Rd


155lbs-Jim Jom(7-9)(2-3)vs#10.Bobby Joe Scum(6-2)(1-1)-Jom by UD


155lbs-#6.Colt Compton(5-1)(1-0)vs#9.Greg Dellaria(5-8)(2-1)


We start the Main Card off with a battle between top 10 ranked Lightweights, who are both looking to make a push into the top 5! Colt Compton coming in from that Xtreme Punishment team in Tokyo looking to pick up his second win inside the Fallen Champions ring. He destroyed his opponent in his debut in just 55 seconds, showing off his devastating striking! He has some lethal kicks, and power in both hands. The 30 year old Greg Dellaria will be entering into his 14th professional fight, and he has been in some absolute wars in his career. He is a very pure puncher, great boxing and natural power has help him earn most of his victories. He has a pretty solid ground game, but usually chooses not to take it there. This one is going to turn into a war, Colt tends to let his opponents land a high percentage of their punches but against a guy like Dellaria that could smell trouble as he could end the fight with one well placed punch! I look for Compton to take this fight to the mat and use his superior wrestling and ground n pound to secure a knockout victory!


205lbs-#7.Tim"Larix"Askarian(6-3)(4-1)vs#4."Bastard"Torrelio Sacana(10-3)(0-0)


Tim Askarian is one win away from earning himself a Title shot, he is coming in on a 2 fight win streak and doesn't seem to be slowing down after knocking out ex title hopeful BJ Penn in his last outting. He has some descent punches, but really makes his money when the fight enters the clinch. Once he gets the fight there he turns into a beast, using a barrage of dirty boxing and Muay Thai where he has been able to land over 85% of his total strikes. His opponent is the new comer but 13 fight veteran Torrelio Sacana, who comes in on a 7 fight win streak. Torrelio doesn't try to hide his intentions from his opponents, he comes in and attacks with takedowns and once the fight hits the mat he using his brown belt to control and punish his opponent. He attempts almost 13 takedowns a fight but only lands a quarter of them, so if Askarian can stuff some of those attempts and move the fight into the clinch he will be able to control. I see this one going to the judges and Larix getting his hand raised at the end!


265lbs+-#1."Hellraiser"Eddie Fatu(8-2)(1-1)vManny Manfred(7-4)(1-1)


This is the battle of Hellraiser Inc in this match up, and the 4th and what could be final match up between these two giants! Eddi Fatu currently has control of the series with 2 wins, and will look to put a close to it in this one. He looked as if he was going to cruise to a title shot after winning his debut, but then he ran into Cyrus the Virus's fist in his last outting. So now he will be looking to bounce back and what better way to do it then to face a very familar foe! He is very well rounded and has alot of strength which helps him control his opponents, and helped him to win 7 of his fights by knockout! Manny Manfred on the other hand has had more of an up and down career, but has plenty of Championship experience having fought in 6 title fights. He has a very good Muay Thai striking base, with descent punches and kicks, and is very good at keeping distance. I think Fatu is going to come into this match and do what he does best, and that is turn it into a brawl! He will get his opponent off his gameplan, and when the timing is right land a big takedown and stop the fight by way of submission!


205lbs-#5.:Prodigy"BJ Penn(11-7)(4-2)vs#3.Dominickoy"Hilo Kid"Palhares(10-5)(0-0)


In our Co Main Event of the evening with have two top 5 Light Heavyweights squaring off, and there will be no experience lacking in this one with these two having 33 fights between them. BJ Penn seems to do everything right until it really matters than he falls short, he lost in the first Title fight to Shelby Toe back at Lost Legends III then worked his way back up the ranks and was one fight away from another shot when he stumbled again against Tim Askarian. When the 26 year old has a chance to get himself into the Title picture again with a good outting in this one. He has a good mix of Boxing, and BJJ but all 11 of his wins have came by submission. Standing across the ring from him will be, Dominickoy Palhares who is making his debut and looking to put the rest of the division on notice. He has some collegiate level wrestling paired with a very high level Brown belt in BJJ. All 10 of his wins have been by submission as well, so this is a top pick for Sub of the Night. I think whoever can get themselves in better position to set up their sub attempts will be able to pull this one off!


145lb Championship-(#2 P4P)C."Irish"Mike OMalley(7-3)(5-0)vs#1.Steve Stevenson(13-6)(2-1)


Its time for what you have have been waiting for the Main Event of the evening, and its a rematch for the 145lb Championship! Mike OMalley is a fight promoters dream, he is young, brash, has bricks in his gloves, and wins fights, and he will be looking to keep that going when he puts his newly earned belt of the line. He is very well rounded and hasn't showed any weaknesses yet in his Fallen Champions career. He lands almost 80% of his punchs, and when you have the power that this guy has there is no wondering why he has 6 knockout victories! Steve Stevenson lost his Fallen Champions debut to OMalley back at Lost Legends VII, but has since run through his last two opponents to earn himself a rematch and a shot at the title! He is a pure grappler with very good wrestling and some really slick BJJ, which can be seen with his 11 submission victories to date. At 28 years old and this going to be his 20th pro fight, Steve has been around and fought a whos who of opponents in Hilo, but the one thing that he hasn't done is won a Championship! In their first meeting OMalley wasted no time letting his hands go, and opened up a nasty cut on Stevenson and like a shark that smells blood he went in for the kill. Look for Stevenson to try to set up his takedowns a little better, which won't be easy as Mike has been able to stuff over 90% of his opponents attempts, but if he can get the fight to the mat then OMalley may be put in danger for the first time inside the FC Ring.....


I have cancelled all of my plans just so I can watch this card, it should be quite a show! I would like to think our sponsors Pirates Powder nutrition and The Dark Side clothing store, make sure to check out their great line of products!
