 Hello Fight fans, Merlin here bring you a preview of another great Fallen Champions event! FC 36 plays host to some very exciting match ups including the Lightweight Title Match up as the long time 155lb King Darcy Lilo puts his title on the line for the 3rd time against top contender Colt Compton! Lets get the action underway......
145lbs-Billy Rockford(1-3)(0-2)vsDaniel Sosnowski(1-1)(0-0)-Sosnowski by UD
205lbs-Zeus Greatness(1-0)(0-0)vsRashad Evans(4-9-1)(0-1)-Evans by (t)KO in 1st Rd

265lbs-#6."Pretty"Ricky Fontaine(7-6)(1-1)vs"The Deliverer of Siam"Nai Khanon Tom(4-3)(0-0)
Our Main Card kicks off with two Heavyweight fighters that are both looking to make a name for themselves among the rest of the Fallen Champions roster. Ricky Fontaine looked good to start his FC cruising to a 3 fight win streak all coming by way of knockout, but then he ran into top contender Chris Palmer at Lost Legends 19 where he got caught in a submission early in the first round. Ricky has some world class Muay Thai, but is also no slouch if the fight goes to the mat! Nai Khanon Tom is coming in looking to rebound after going 1-3 in his last 4 fights, and could do it with a win in this match up! Nai is also a striking master, but he has equal Muay Thai and Boxing skill! I see this one turning into a stand up war, and one of these guys will be going to sleep but it will come down to who is able to land cleanly with the others chin.
185lbs-#10.Jeff"El jefe"Wood(7-4)(4-3)vs#9.Camber"The Relief"Cartwright(8-8)(3-1)
This is going to be a battle between top 10 Middleweights who want to seperate themselves from the rest of the pack in a very talented division! Jeff Wood is a 7 fight veteran of Fallen Champions, and is a BJJ specialist with 5 submission wins to his credit. He fell short in his last outting in a rematch against Quinton Jackson which he lost by knockout in the 1st round, but a win could get him back on track. Camber Cartwright started his FC career off with three straight submission wins, but at Fallen Champions 50th he met his match with he fought fellow Submission artist Baraka Simengwa. Now he is out to proof that he is one of the best BJJ guys in the org when he faces off with another submission expert! These one is sure to turn into a great display of grappling skill, and the fighter that can maintain the dominate position will be the one getting his hand raised at the final bell!
135lbs-#3.Kalel"#1"Iziarry(8-3)(6-3)vs#4.Joesph Ely(9-2)(5-1)
A win in this one could set up a future title fight for the winning fighter! Kalel Iziarry is entering into his 10th fight under the Fallen Champions banner, and is one of the longest tenured fighters under contract! He made his move down to 135lbs in his last fight to take on current Champion VJ Kiwi in a losing effort. The Majority of his wins have came by way of Submission, and he can finish about anyone of the ground. Joesph Ely is one of the longest reigning Champions in org history with 3 successful title defenses under his belt, and he is looking to get back into the title picture with another win. He has some great grappling skills combined with some descent striking skill which he mostly uses to set up his takedowns. Iziarry has the advantage in Wrestling, but Ely has the advantage in the striking but I'm sure this one will turn into a grappling contest!
265lbs+-#1."The Hoarder"Hunter Gatherer(10-2)(0-0)vs#4.Cyrus the Virus(8-1)(8-1)
In our Co Main Event of the evening we have a number 1 contender match up between these top ranked Super Heavyweight warriors! Hunter Gatherer is making his debut, after spending his last 4 fights under the BFE banner where he even won the title, and a win tonight will get him in a position to win another title! He has some world class Muay Thai, but can hold his own in the grappling area! His opponent Cyrus the Virus is going to be a ten fight veteran of Fallen Champions, and the fans have watched him grown through out his career. The Ex Champion can get a chance to get the belt back if he can pull off a victory in this one. He has some once in a lifetime power in both of his hands, and he have to think that if he can lay leather on Hunter that he can put him to sleep! I think that Gatherer is alittle too well rounded for Cyrus and he'll either pick him apart with kicks from distance or take him down and pound him out!
155lb Championship-(#9 P4P)C.Darcy Lilo(11-3)(5-0)vs#3.Colt Compton(8-1)(4-0)
This is our Main Event of the evening and Man its going to be a good one, when this two fighters duke it our for the Lightweight Title! Darcy Lilo has had that strap around his waist for 3 straight fights, and I'm sure that he would love to make it 4! He has a very dangerous skillset with Olympic level Wrestling combined with a high level Brown belt that he has used to finish 8 of his 11 pro fights! Colt Compton is on a roll coming into to this one riding a 5 fight win streak with the last 4 all being knockout finishes, including 2 superman and one headkick finish! He has some awesome Boxing with knockout power in both hands, and also is hard to get to the mat with a background in Wrestling! Colt has been finished standing before, but Darcy's 3 losses have come by way of Decision and one by submission! This is going to be a classic striker vs grappler match up, and I can't wait for it! This is going to be an early pick for fight of the night in my opinion!
There you have it folks another great event put together by King Arthur, and he would like to think our sponsors Pirates Powder nutrition and The Dark Side clothing for all of their support! Also a special thanks goes out to Theodore Boston and Mr Cropper for all their hard work with the graphics! Tune in next week for another great preview.......
