Slaughterhouse FC

Based: Las Vegas

Owner: J.J. Tycooner

 

One organisation which might not have been heard of by quite a few people within the MMA Tycoon world is one which is based in Las Vegas, owned by MMA Tycoon manager J.J. Tycooner, it is an organisation called Slaughterhouse FC.

When Slaughterhouse FC opened it's doors back in August 2015, it didn't take long for them to establish themselves as one of the most promising new organisations in the MMA Tycoon world, I didn't know this myself but after 4 events Slaughterhouse FC broke into the top 20 rankings for all the organisations in the MMA Tycoon world.

As it currently stands, they're still ranked 20th at the time of writing this and they show no sign of dropping down the rankings any time soon despite only having a total of 11 events to date, a great achievement for such a young organisation.

 

So what's the secret to the success behind Slaughterhouse FC? Well, the man who can answer exactly that is J. J. Tycooner himself, however good luck finding that out as I couldn't convince him to share his secrets on how he managed it. The only other people who could possibly know what he knows is his trusty co-owners in Devin Skrumbellos and Ryne Woodsmall, both who are said to be heavily involved with ensuring that Slaughterhouse FC maintains itself as a top 20 organisation in the MMA Tycoon world.

In addition to having two other co-owners, J.J. Tycooner has also made the wise decision of hiring a very talented writer in Donald Canmore to do previews for his events, something which I personally always enjoy reading when I've signed a fighter to an organisation.

 

What I can tell you instead is a bit more about the organisation, starting with the divisions and what (if any) restrictions they have on the fighters entering these divisions.

Bantamweight (135lbs) division - 270k ID and above  Featherweight (145lbs) division - 270k ID and above Lightweight (155lbs) division - 270k ID and above.

Welterweight (170lbs) division - Open ID Middleweight (185lbs) division - Open ID Light-Heavyweight (205lbs) division - Open ID

Heavyweight (265lbs) division - Open ID Super Heavyweight (265+) division - 270k ID, 25 years old and above. Perfect for any of you ex-Island fighters!

 

From what you can see here, there's clearly a mixture of both new and upcoming talent in the ID restricted divisions but also some more established, experienced veteran fighters in the open ID divisions. Essentially Slaughterhouse FC has the best of both worlds and it'll be interesting to see if they can continue to recruit exciting talent in the open ID divisions while their young fighters continue to develop into potential MMA stars in the ID restriction divisions. Not every division has a champion yet and so there's still time for you to sign your fighters to one of the divisions which don't have a title holder and become a part of this rising MMA organisation's history. Listed below are the current champions.

Slaughterhouse FC Welterweight Champion - Sweet Jones (7-3) 

Slaughterhouse FC Middleweight Champion - Parker Phoenix (11-3-1) 

Slaughterhouse FC Light-Heavyweight Champion - Kuma Nelson (32-11) 

Slaughterhouse FC Heavyweight Champion - Magnus Cross (24-10)

 

Two new champions will be crowned in the very near future. At Slaughterhouse 8 the Lightweight title is on the line in a fight between Tank Radovan (2-1) and Lee Lewis (2-1), an exciting bout where we'll see one guy who's comfortable with his stand up landing the KO strikes (Radovan), and the other guy who is comfortable ripping guys limbs off to get submission wins (Lewis).

In the Super Heavyweight division, we have a title fight at Slaughterhouse Fight Night 1 between two ex-Island season 4 fighters, both are renown for their impressive ground game with only 1 victory out of their combined 22 victories not coming via submission: Roger Machado (12-3) vs  Otocanin Zmija (10-3).

 

 

Both Parker Phoenix (11-3-1) and Kuma Nelson (32-11) are due to defend their retrospective titles at Slaughterhouse 9. Parker is going against an experienced veteran in Kenneth Wayne (28-9-1) in a fight which is not to be missed. Kenneth brings a wealth of experience with him into this fight having competed at both Syn and EVO, he could be seen as a great signing for Slaughterhouse FC to really boost their fan base.

Kuma on the other hand is set to compete in his third bout with Stew Sauced (10-9), the former Light Heavyweight champion who was also the very first Light Heavyweight champion for Slaughterhouse FC. This fight is a real make or break for Stew, as a defeat here will surely see him be forced to either switch weight division or change organisation as it would seem he's simply not good enough to beat Kuma once more if a 4th fight occured.

 

Before I finish this write up off, I can't finish it without mentioning Slaughterhouse FC's biggest star. "The Time Machine" Tommy Grunge (25-0-1). This fighter started his career off as a KT fighter in the Welterweight division. After winning the Welterweight title at the best KT organisation in the world EFFA,

Tommy went on to sign for the now defunct Dynasty K-1: Tokyo and crushed their entire Middleweight KT division, after he was bored dominating the Middleweight division he bulked up again, this time to Light Heavyweight and cleaned out the Light Heavyweight division back at EFFA before switching to another K1 organisation in NACF where he fought once as a Heavyweight fighter.

Tommy didn't feel the HW division was his best division for him and so dropped down to Light Heavyweight after he retired from KT with an unblemished 20-0 record and started his professional MMA career. He is considered by many, and rightfully so, the greatest KT fighter to ever grace MMA Tycoon.

The story doesn't end there though, as he signed to make his debut MMA fight in EVO, the biggest MMA organisation in the world and went undefeated in 3 Light Heavyweight bouts there and in 2 Middleweight bouts. Before leaving EVO, Tommy also had a 1 fight deal to fight in another elite MMA organisation, this time EVO's rival Syn, where he took on and beat one of their better Light Heavyweights.

 

Slaughterhouse FC's biggest star Tommy Grunge

What's amazing is that despite dominating at the elite MMA organisations throughout the world J.J. Tycooner convinced one of the best and most dangerous fighter on the planet at this time to signed with Slaughterhouse FC. If J.J. Tycooner continues to convince elite fighters like Tommy Grunge to sign for his organisation, it wont be long before his young organisation finds itself ranked amongst the top 10 organisations in the world.

I can see in the near future, there'll be fighters coming to take on Tommy Grunge to prove they're better than him and if J.J. Tycooner has signed him down to a long term deal, that means those elite fighters who want to fight Tommy could end up signing for Slaughterhouse FC as well.

 

What J.J. Tycooner has done so far has been nothing short of remarkable and I wish him good luck and all the best for the future, not that he'll need anyway.

If there's an award going for New Organisation of the Year for 2015, without a doubt in my mind Mr Tycooner's Slaughterhouse FC deserves it.
