1) Kai Yamaguchi brought his own championship border; if he comes into a championship fight, his pre-fight avatar is going to look stunning.
2) At lightweight, Steven Kopp fought Hugh Moors... Kopp lost the fight and left the division, while Hugh Moors went on temporary sabbatical to continue his martial arts training.

Middleweight – 185 lbs
Champion: Reuben Kincaid (3-0)
History: Despite being known for his Muay Thai prowess, Reuben Kincaid first appeared on the scene when he competed in the 9th installment of the TWGC grappling tournament. Finding little success there, Reuben set his sights on professional mixed martial arts. Tearing his way through the rankings of the Vale Tudo Fight Club, Reuben was distraught when the company closed its doors. Luckily, Reuben was immediately approached by Bravado Productions, where he has proven himself to be one of the greatest middleweights of the modern era.
Reuben made his promotional debut at Bravado 1, where he knocked out BJ Penn in the co-main event. A second round stoppage over Marcus Browne at Bravado 5 established Reuben as the inarguable top contender for the inaugural championship. At Bravado 8, Reuben Kincaid established himself on the global stage when he knocked out Inferno Pandaa in the opening round, ending Pandaa's five fight winning streak to become the undisputed, undefeated middleweight champion.

Super-heavyweight – 265+ lbs
Champion: Tarton McFukur
History: The mouth of the super-heavyweight division, Tarton McFukur is the president of his own fan club. He came in to the Bravado Productions super-heavyweight division talking a big game, with big demands during the initial negotiations; it was believed that he would talk himself into a position in which humiliation was the only possible outcome. However, Tarton has proven himself to be an elite mixed martial artist time and again.
First, Tarton displayed the ability to adapt to various facets of a fight when he knocked out Jacob Frost on the feet during the opening round of the QFC tournament. Within Bravado Productions, Tarton has walked the walk and talked the talk; submission victories over Jack Johnson and Maple Heartoway have pushed his credibility to new heights, but it wasn't until he defeated Hollyfield Gomes to win the super-heavyweight championship that his stock went through the roof.
1 – Jerome Bland (2-0)
2 – Jack Johnson (1-1)
4 – Andrei Gonzales (1-0)
5 – JR Writer (1-0)
6 – Hollyfield Gomes (2-1)
7 – Jimmy Valmer (1-1)
8 – Benjamin Baller (1-0)
9 – Calvin Jones (0-1)
10 – Maple Heartoway (0-1)
As you may be able to ascertain from viewing our top ten rankings, simply fighting is enough to get placed within the "top ten", as the public rankings does not register any fighters that have yet to compete within the company. This is why Mark Wahlberg is one of the top heavyweights in the history of the company, but has yet to be placed on this list.
