 BEEF is back with the second round of the Mortal Kombat II tournament and the Tycoon world has been a complete mess lately with BEEF banning fighters for their high levels of estrogen, also known as the common disease “bitchassness.” Meanwhile, I must remind all fight fans, fighters and managers that holding multiple accounts, like some users losers is frowned upon. However, I would be delighted if Rocky McColgan or Derek Burns had identical multis signed to BEEF.



 


Org Debuts Tonight:


Mike Dawson (5-0) vs Derek Lynch (5-2)


Nathan Nickles (0-0) vs Sterling Archer (1-0)


And…


Aleksandar Kamenov (5-3) and Dale McCann (8-3) are returning to BEEF to continue their careers.


Showcase Fight:


Its rare that BEEF gets to host a fighter’s debut fight with managers testing hiddens and building projects but Napalm Nathan Nickles has decided to do just that. Against another BEEF debut fighter Sterling Archer, Nickles will hope to drop the bomb on the versatile Sterling, but beware. With one submission victory under his belt, Sterling Archer is looking for limbs. New managers and new fighters will battle it out for their personal confidence and someone might need some new clothes to fix their morale after this one.


 


MK Tourney:


Kenshi and Kano will not allow fight fans to blink at this matchup, I see it going the distance but I cannot tell in whose favor. Kenshi was punched in the face 70 times by Liu Kang without avoiding a single one of his strikes but somehow he survived and won by landing 4 strikes and a takedown. Shocking, but nevertheless Kenshi will fight Kano in the second round. Kano withstood a barrage of kicks and killed Stryker by KO early in the second. That display of knockout power may be the key to this fight. Remember, any fighter who loses by any style of finish is fatalized and must be erased immediately.


 


Johnny Cage came out kicking against Sub Zero and after outlasting him in this kickboxing battle, he lives to kick another day. All standup for the two opponents and he literally outscored his foe only, nothing spectacular to expect a finish any time soon. Reptile is his matchup potentially a dream or nightmare because he is a very scary opponent on the ground to tag along with his great wrestling skills. While great wrestling causes a major advantage, an excellent Muay Thai fighter can sometimes use his kicking skills precisely enough to steal a win through by decision. I just don’t see this one going all three rounds


 


Jackson Briggs aka Jax is known for being a power puncher with earth rumbling arms but the unfortunate thing for him in this fight against Hanzo Hasashi “Scorpion” is that he will have to somehow find a dominant position to land one of those skull crushing blows. While he definitely showed the blunt force he could bring in the clinch destroying Cyrax, Scorpion just might be a little too versatile for Briggs as he can dominate on the ground with his BJJ as well as slow his foe down with his kicking skills. Scorpion turned Kung Lao into a punching bag and scored a flawless victory in under a minute. I don’t know if one of the fighters will leave the cage alive after this one. Hanzo was yelling “GET OVER HERE!” at Briggs at the weigh-ins, so lets see what happens tonight.


 


Our last MK bout of the night is My own Lunar Nightwolf taking on Kabal. This fight, while anticipated looks like a lopsided one. Kabal has shown the world that he will break bones when the fight gets to the ground and he has every means to get it there. In his first fight he was able to handle the entire fight on the ground with Raiden and force the BJJ specialist to tap out. He also showed two very efficient strikes in the clinch before using that grappling to drag his foe to the mat and finish the fight on his terms. I really don’t know what Nightwolf will do to win this fight.


 


Thank you all for being a part of BEEF, especially the Mortal Kombat Tournament. Be Safe, and to all ENJOY!
