Hello fight fans, Merlin here and is that time of the week again, thats right its fight time! We have a great night of fights scheduled for you on this Lost Legends 25 card. We have a Middleweight Number 1 contender match up, as well as the ex 145lb Champion. So lets get the action started.....


170lbs-Semore Butkiss(1-4)(1-3)vsMatt Shadows(1-1)(0-0)-Butkiss by (t)KO in 3rd Rd


170lbs-Suleman Pokong(3-4)(3-4)vsBedivere Vita Cadoc(0-1)(0-1)-Vita Cadoc by UD


145lbs-Ralph Joaquin(4-4)(0-1)vsMirko Silva(5-7)(3-3)-Silva by UD


135lbs-Pedro Guilherme(2-1)(2-1)vsStevie Wait(2-5)(1-1)-Wait by UD


135lbs-Evil Ryu(9-5-1)(3-2)vsJorge Kelvin(2-4)(0-2)-Ryu by (t)KO in 2nd Rd


170lbs-Sam Malone(6-3)(3-2)vsChras Watsky(7-13)(1-2)-Malone by Sub in 3rd Rd


145lbs-#4."Irish"Mike OMalley(9-5)(7-2)vsEric Northman(3-1)(2-1)


In our first featured match up of the night we have the ex long time Champion Mike OMalley taking on up and comer Eric Northman. Irish began his FC career back at FC VIII and went on a 7 fight tear through the 145lb division. It seemed like Mike would be unstoppable, and there was even takes about him moving up to compete for the Lightweight Title. Than he met Kraal the Bouncer and lost a close decision, but in a Fight of the Night performance. He then lost another match up at LL 22, but will be looking to get back on track in this one. Eric Northman's FC career got off to a rocky start when he lost to long time contender Steven Stark by Submission, but has won his last two match ups all by finishes. He is sitting right outside the top 10, and win against the ex Champion could skyrocket him through the rankings. This is a very even match up, and I'm sure both of these guys will be looking to stand and trade, and this could be an early pick for Knockout of the Night.


155lbs-#2.Lunchmeat Sandwich(8-2)(8-2)vs#8.Dewayne Bryant(4-2)(4-1)


These Lightweight match up is going to be a grappling display as two of the puriest grapplers in the division square off when longtime contender Lunchmeat Sandwich and on the rise prospect Dewayne Bryant. Lunchmeat has been around the FC since the very first event, and has been tapping fools out every since. With a Fallen Champions record most seven Submission victories, Lunchmeat is a dangerous opponenet for anyone once the fight hits the mat. Dewayne Bryant doesn't quite have the experience that his opponent has, but he is determined and has alot of heart. He too can submit about anybody in the division, and he also has a little better Wrestling background. I think this one will come down to who can maintain the dominate position, and get their submission game going. One of these two will either show they are the superior grappler, or it will go to the judges after alot of position changes.


185lbs-#1.Werkka Easterlund(15-7)(1-0)vs#4.Johnny Freedom(10-2)(0-0)


In our Main Event of the evening, we have a number one contender match up between these two top 5 prospects. Werkka Easterlund just destroyed ex Champion Tom Finch in his FC debute, and another win will earn him a title shot. Werkka is a Knockout artist at its finiest with 14 of his 15 wins being by strikes, but he also has a very underrated ground game that he uses mostly as defense. The new comer Johnny Freedom is just as talented of a striker, but lacks the natural power of his opponent. Freedom has a granite chin though, and has never been stopped by strikes. I think this one is going to be a stand up war, Werkka has the power advantage, but Freedom has a damn good chin. I think that it may make it to the judges score cards, and with Freedom's history as being a work horse and also landing a high percentage of his strikes he'll be able to get the nod from the judges.


There you have it folks, I can't wait to watch that OMalley vs Northman fight, and also that Main Event is going to be sick! I would like to thank our sponsor The Dark Side clothing company, and Pirates Powder nutrition. Make sure to check in with Jed I and Sid for all your Tycoon Needs. Also a special thanks to Mr Cropper(Hellraiser FightGear) and Theodore Boston. Make sure to tune in next time.
