[Preliminary Bouts]
(Light-heavyweight Division) Wally Fenderson versus BongBong Digong
Round 1 – Wally Fenderson quickly took the center of the cage, with BongBong Digong circling on the outside, pawing out with jabs and leg kick attempts to keep his distance. Thirty seconds in, Fenderson hadn't even thrown a jab yet, and Digong scored with crisp ri
ght hand, opening a cut over the eye of Fenderson.
This seemed to bring Fenderson online, as he immediately dove in for a takedown, which was stuffed with ease from Digong. BongBong scored with a one-two combination, and Fenderson looked to respond with an overhand right, but instead ducked under and shot in for a double leg takedown! He got it, landing in half guard on top.
“This is big trouble for Digong, Wally Fenderson is an animal on the ground,” our color commentator exclaimed!
Indeed, as BongBong immediately tried to force a scramble to get back to his feet, Fenderson slid into side control. Once more, BongBong tried to bridge his hips and stand, and Fenderson took his back! BongBong had found himself in a very disconcerting position to be in during your first professional fight in front of a sell-out crowd. Fenderson looked to be working for a rear choke, but instead slid to the side and locked in an armbar! Digong tapped out immediately!
“Ladies and gentlemen, our referee has called a stop to this contest at two minutes and twenty-five seconds of the first round, declaring the winner by TAP OUT due to an armbar: Wally Fenderson!”
(Light-heavyweight Division) Dillon Weber versus Gerry Pounder
Round 1 – Gerry Pounder lived up to his nickname by struggling to make the two-oh-five weight limit. After some additional efforts, Gerry was able to cut the remainder of his weight off.
In this fight, we knew that we would be witness to the thunderous punching power of Dillon Weber as he struggles to stay on his feet and make it count against the Jiu-Jitsu specialist, Gerry Pounder. Typically, in this scenario, you want to stay a bit more cautious rather than going balls-to-the-wall... but somebody forgot to tell Weber. He came out swinging, opening the fight with a three punch combination that staggered Pounder and busted open a cut on his face. Weber landed a nasty leg kick, and flopped a head kick attempt as well, before landing two combinations in a row!
Gerry Pounder avoided a one-two combination and scored a single leg takedown into guard. Credit goes to Dillon Weber for staying busy from the bottom, and for keeping Gerry from passing the guard. However, you couldn't escape the feeling that it was only a matter of time, as Gerry Pounder methodically tested the waters before going all-in with a kneebar! Weber fought the hold, but eventually screamed in pain and tapped out!
“Ladies and gentlemen the referee has called a stop to this contest at one minute and fifty-two seconds of round number one, declaring the winner by tap out due to a kneebar: Gerry “Get Some” Pounder!”
In defeat, Dillon Weber stepped up to the mic, saying 'Thanks for coming out party's on me'.
[Undercard Bouts]
(Welterweight Division) Tung Surano versus Jarred Sullivan
Round 1 – Jarred Sullivan started this fight off looking like a seasoned veteran, while Tung Surano clearly suffered from the first fight jitters; Sullivan opened with a swooping hook to the body and smiled. Surano attempted to catch the fleet-footed Sullivan, obviously looking to turn this into a grappling match, and Sullivan easily back pedaled away, but came back with a stiff right hand on the button.
Sullivan started to get a bit cocky, as blow after blow landed on the face of Surano; Sullivan rushed in with a sequence of wild punches that missed horribly, and Surano tagged him with a snapping head kick that bloodied the face of Sullivan. Surano attempted to clinch, following the successful kick, and Sullivan ducked under his attempt and took him to the ground, landing in side control! After holding the position for a second, Jarred Sullivan jumped back to his feet, obviously not wanting to roll with the purple belt for too long.
Back on their feet, Sullivan pushed forward with a head kick of his own, but stepped back and took a big, deep breath. Surano smelled blood, and upped the pace, looking to wrestle; Sullivan did a remarkable job at staying on his feet, and even landed a decent right cross. Despite this one success, Sullivan was having a lot more trouble landing strikes as the round progressed.
In the final minutes of the round, Jarred Sullivan scored another takedown and stood back up, obviously looking to score points more than anything else, and seemed to get his second wind, landing punches and kicks as the seconds ticked away.
Round 2 – As tired as Jared Sullivan was in this round, he dominated every second of it with effective striking mixed with takedowns that led nowhere, but still scored. Tung Surano spent the majority of the round chasing after Sullivan with his hands down, looking for a takedown that never arrived. The difference in the wrestling ability of the two men was hugely obvious in this round; Surano may have been a dangerous submission fighter, but Sullivan's defensive wrestling was simply too strong to be overcome by this opponent.
Round 3 – Sullivan opened with a beautiful three-strike combination before taking Surano down and standing out of the guard. For his part, Tung Surano seemed to have resigned himself to a game plan of wrestling and nothing else, as he was chasing Sullivan down, looking to score a takedown, or clinch, and he was getting absolutely beaten down for his troubles. Sullivan, at one point, scored a jab to the body, and followed it with a spinning back fist to the jaw. In the end, this was one of the most one-sided fights in the history of Bravado Productions.
“After three rounds of action, we go to the judges scorecards for a decision. All three judges score this contest in favor of your winner by split decision: Jarred “Silky” Sullivan!”
The defeated Tung Surano had this to say: 'Well today I'm not happy, you know I made a lot of mistakes and underestimated Jarred. But you know this sport of MMA is all about the best fighter in the ring at that moment. I know I was the better fighter but I got careless and the result is a loss. Thank you fans for coming out.'
Surano walked away and left the cage without accepting any questions.
(Heavyweight Division) Brock The Beast versus Pillow Hands
Round 1 – The battle of the two early starters opened with a bang: Pillow Hands came out with the lead right, tagging The Beast repeatedly with it. Brock The Beast responded with his patented power double leg, blasting through the sprawl attempt of Pillow hands.
Our color commentator announced, “Brock The Beast is in half guard, let's see what he can do with it.”
Brock more or less controlled from the top position, although he did attempt to pass into side control early; Pillow Hands fought him every step of the way, struggling to maintain his guard control without letting the powerful hands of Brock start hammering away with ground and pound.
After several minutes of failed pass attempts, Brock attempted a sloppy forearm choke, but Pillow Hands retained his guard control. Having seen enough inaction, the referee opted to stand the fighters up. Brock protested the standup, but was forced to put up his dukes as Pillow Hands rushed forward.
Brock The Beast took a big, deep breath, and Pillow Hands came forward, this time opening with a jab before moving on to a powerful rear uppercut. Pillow connected with another jab, followed by a looping left hook that snapped back the head of Brock!
Brock the beast reached up to wipe away the blood now pouring from his eye.
“There's a lot of time to go in the round,” the commentator stated, “and Brock has stopped trying to wrestle. Whatever threat that Brock brought to this fight ended with that stand-up!”
Pillow came forward once again, landing a three punch combination! And again!
“Oh! Brock The Beast is in big trouble!”
Indeed; Brock covered up with his back against the cage and Pillow Hands battered him with lefts and rights, uppercuts and hooks! It was beginning to be reminiscent of Chuck Liddell versus Tito Ortiz!
“Brock is hurt,” the commentator screamed as Brock was rocked badly by a two-punch combination!
Pillow cracked him with a left hook to the body, followed by a left hook to the temple! Brock went down under the weight of the punches, and Pillow Hands swarmed on him! The referee finally stepped in to stop the assault, as Brock's pale, skinny, former pet shop employee of a wife timidly screamed for them to stop the fight.
“Ladies and gentlemen the referee has called a stop to this contest at four minutes and five seconds of the first round, declaring the winner by T-K-O: Pillow “Knocking Out” Hands!”
As Pillow Hands got his breath back, he grabbed the microphone and managed to blurt out the following: You sucked at WWE, now you came to suck on the octagon? Do something useful and kill yourself, Reigns, my bitch.'
(Middleweight Division) Shouma Nishida versus Yang Lei
Round 1 – Yang Lei, the freestyle fighter, scored an immediate takedown into half guard and immediately went to work, controlling the inexperienced grappler, and allowing his experience to take him to victory.
Shouma Nishida struggled to get back to his feet, but left himself open; Lei immediately mounted him and went to work with ground and pound! Lei attempted a pair of submissions, but his lack of a Jiu-Jitsu experience kept this from happening.
Nishida just couldn't get out of that mount! Lei went back to work with ground and pound, putting a hellish beating on the former kick boxing standout. For some reason that is beyond me, Yang Lei stood up from this position of dominance, and Nishida capitalized on the mistake, landing punches!
Realizing his mistake, Yang Lei immediately scored another takedown into guard. Nishida attempted to explode to his feet, and Lei returned once more to half guard. As Lei worked to advance back into mount, Nishida reverses and takes half guard on top!
A wild scramble ensued, and Nishida took Lei's back! Lei attempted to roll, but Nishida stayed on his back like glue, even as the two rolled over. Nishida was laying on his back, with Lei on top of him- Nishida had both hooks in. Nishida looked to be thinking about a rear choke, but was unsure of how to apply it.
Yang Lei sensed his hesitation and turned into Nishida, finding himself in guard on top! Shouma Nishida tried to escape once more, and Lei almost locked in an awkward guillotine choke, nullifying the attempt. Yang Lei postured up in guard and started working brutal ground and pound, hammering Nishida! After a dozen unanswered blows landed, the referee stopped the fight!
“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at two minutes and fifty-eight seconds of the opening round, declaring the winner by T-K-O: Yang Lei!”
[Main Card]
(Light-heavyweight Division) Princess Penny versus Alexander Taran
Round 1 – Alexander Taran came out swinging, throwing combinations that were hitting nothing but air. Princess Penny stayed true to his footwork, pumping out the jab like he was getting paid to do it. Taran came in, looking to clinch, and Penny tagged him with a right hand! Then, Penny got a bit overzealous, missed a left hook, and ate a one-two combination from Taran.
Alexander Taran came in low and ran straight into an uppercut from Penny that sent him crumbling to the floor! A badly rocked Alexander staggered to his feet, and pushed forward, looking to clinch. After eating a half-hearted left hand, Alexander threw a head kick that missed by a mile, and Penny tagged him with a big right hand, sending him spiraling to the floor once again!
Taran climbed to his feet and attempted a body kick with nothing on it. Taran has some heart, though, and he seemed to recover right away. Penny tagged him with another right hand! This time Taran didn't go down, but Penny stayed on him, landing uppercut after uppercut! Taran went down and the referee jumped in to stop the fight!
“The referee has called a stop to this contest at one minute thirty-three seconds of the very round round, declaring the winner by TKO: Princess Penny!”
During his post-fight speech, Princess Penny gave a speech about how wonderful his fans are.
(Welterweight Division) Mladen Tomasevic versus Jonath Masvidal
Round 1 – Number one Bravado Welterweight Mladen Tomasevic entered the ring to thunderous applause; the Las Vegas crowd readily showed appreciation to the only man to stop Jon Snitch in professional combat. Jonath Masvidal walked out to a good deal of reception as well; his exploits in England were obviously known to more than a few in the crowd.
After a touch of gloves, this welterweight fight was under way! Immediately Masvidal came out and clinched; he clearly didn't want to get into a kick boxing bout in this fight, and instead opted to grapple against the cage. Masvidal connected with an uppercut... and another uppercut! After taking a breather, Masvidal was starting to land power punches seemingly at will. Tomasevic attempted to fire back but was clearly out matched in the clinch.
Masvidal connected with knees to the midsection, and Tomasevic immediately moved to protect his body. He tried to tie up Masvidal, stalling for time; Jonath Masvidal immediately landed flush with a knee to the chin of Mladen Tomasevic!
“Oh! Tomasevic is hurt,” the commentator screamed.
Tomasevic tried to create distance to land punches, but Masvidal tied him up, pushed him against the cage, and landed another knee! Tomasevic turned to protect himself from the knees, and Masvidal landed a monster uppercut! Tomasevic went down, and Masvidal started landing right hand after right hand! Tomasevic collapsed under the barrage and the referee jumped in to stop the fight!
“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at one minute and fifty-seven seconds of round number one, declaring the winner by T-K-O: Jonath “The Truth” Masvidal!”
“This fight is the co-main event of the evening. Sponsored by Kore Fight Nutrition! Introducing first... fighting out of the RED corner... this man is a Muay Thai fighter with a professional record of three wins with two losses; standing six-foot-one and weighing in at one hundred and seventy pounds; fighting out of General Santos City in the Philippines: Manny “PACMAN” Pacquaio!
...fighting out of the BLUE color... this man is a Greco-Roman wrestler with a professional record of four wins and three losses; standing five feet and ten inches tall, and weighing in at one hundred and seventy pounds; fighting out of the United Kingdom; the former two-time Rumble On The Rock title challenger: James Kicker!”
(Welterweight Division) Manny Pacquaio versus James Kicker
Round 1 – Manny immediately tried to clinch up against the Greco stylist; Kicker moved away and pumped out a jab to keep the Thai boxer at bay. Manny pushed forward and drove Kicker against the cage, and The Brit immediately responded by going for a single leg takedown. Neither man is really known for his ground game, so it would be interesting to see if Kicker could assert himself there. For the time being, Pacman kept the fight standing, as he begins going to work with and uppercut to the body and one to the head as well, a la Mike Tyson.
Despite being a strong clinch fighter, Kicker seemed to be more interested in scoring a takedown instead of going blow-for-blow. Although he landed a few punches throughout the round, James Kicker mostly stuck to his game plan of going for that single leg; Pacquaio kept the fight upright and in the clinch, and dominated with his dirty boxing.
Round 2 – This round started a bit more tentative, with both men working the jab from a distance. Pacman took a jab to the kisser and immediately started looking to clinch once more. Kicker seemed content to trade punches in the center of the ring, and even cracked him with a few nice counter-punches.
Pacquaio began to show that he is a bit of a novice in the boxes exchanges on display in this round. Two minutes in, Pacquaio managed to clinch and immediately went to work with his dirty boxing again; this was the position that Pacquaio truly shined in. The longer that this round dragged on, James Kicker's output rate diminished greatly, with him trying to go for that desperate single leg here and there, but otherwise just having a beating laid on him.
Round 3 – James Kicker attempted maybe two or three punches for the first forty-five seconds of this round, and Manny Pacquaio was just putting a hellish beating on him, landing punches from all angles. About a minute in, Pacman clinched once more and went to work with the dirty boxing, landing to the head and body at will.
For some odd reason, Pacquaio pulled guard three minutes into this round... I really, genuinely have no idea why. Kicker, finally in the position that he so desired, was too exhausted to pull anything off, and just laid in guard until the referee stood them back up. Both men were swinging wildly as the fight came to a close, with Pacquaio landing the cleaner shots.
“Ladies and gentlemen, after three rounds of action we go to the judge's scorecards for a decision. All three judges score this bout for the winner by unanimous decision: Manny “Pacman” Pacquaio!”
“...this is the main event of the evening! This bout is brought to you by Kore Fight Nutrition and Bet-X [TG].
Introducing first: fighting out of the RED corner... this man is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter with a professional record of eleven wins and four losses. Standing six feet, one inch tall, and weighing in at one hundred and seventy pounds. Fighting out of Las Vegas, Nevada, by way of St. Louis, Missouri: Lucio “Deathrow” Gracie!
...fighting out of the BLUE corner... this man is a striker with a professional record of eleven wins and three losses. Standing five feet, eight inches tall, and weighing in at one hundred and seventy pounds. Fighting out of Las Vegas, Nevada, by way of Jerusalem, Israel: Hyman “Krusty” Krustofski!”
(Welterweight Division) Lucio Gracie versus Hyman Krustofski
Round 1 – There was absolutely no love lost between these two warriors when this fight was announced. When it was realized that they had both found their way to the Bravado roster, Hyman immediately called for a rematch against Lucio; the two had fought once before, during the final tournament of The Island's fifth and most recent season, with Gracie taking home the win in that meeting.
During the pre-fight introductions, both men were absolutely intent on an aggressive mutual stare-down. The referee gave them their instructions, followed by the opportunity to touch gloves... but both men turned and walked back to their corner without even considering such an act.
Krustofski darted across the cage the moment the ref told them to “fight!”, and landed a huge left hook to the body of Gracie. For his part, Gracie attempted to fire back with a right hand, but “Krusty” was well out of range before the punch came close. Krustofski threw a half-hearted body shot but pulled away before it could land.
A big show of mutual respect as neither man was willing to make the next move and leave himself open to a possible counter; Gracie finally darted forward, pressing Krustofski against the cage. After a lull in the action, Krusty attempted an uppercut but Gracie avoided it. Out of nowhere, Lucio Gracie pulled guard! Krustofski knew that he needed none of this position.
Lucio Gracie was working the high guard, threatening with a triangle choke immediately. Krustofski fought the choke for a moment, but Gracie, the wily submission fighter, managed to lock it in, anyways, and forced the tap. As an over-enthusiastic commentator that is addicted to Adderall might say: Just. Like. That.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called a stop to this contest at one minute and thirty-two seconds of the very first round, declaring the winner by TAP OUT due to a triangle choke: Lucio “Deathrow” Gracie!”
Post fight, Lucio Gracie stared into the camera and said 'I am used to bitches laying down for me!'.
In defeat, Hyman Krustofski stepped up to the mic, saying 'I hate grapplers. Who wants to roll on the mat with sweaty boys? Fags, thats it.'.
