 Champion: Sergej Valentinovich
Sergej has every thing a top level striker needs, good pop in his hands, durability and elite striking. He has put the whole package together for an impressive run at Ascension, 3-0 in title fights. The Russian has taken the mma world by storm, but faces his sternest get yet vs the legendary Thiago Renato at Ascension 1017.
1. Thiago Renato
Renato really needs no introduction. He was arguably the most dominant lhw in the game in 2014 and early 2015, racking up many marquee wins and multiple title runs in Syn and Heroic. Renato took a brief sabbatical to star as Chong Li's adopted son looking for revenge in Bloodsport 22. Before that he had won three in a row in Ascension and booked himself a title challenger role.
2. Marti Molski
Molski has gone an impressive 3-1 in Ascension, his only loss a cunthair close decision loss to Renato at Ascension -1. The Finn hating Finn is probably one win away from securing a title shot of his own. The man standing in his way is Joe Ruden.
3. Don Clones Jr.
"Darkness" fell just short in his first career title fight, succumbing to strikes vs Valentinovich. Clones was hanging with him the first two rounds before the champ turned up the pressure and put him out at the end of the third. Ascension management remains high on clones, and they are excited to see him return to the cage and work on making another run at the title. His next opponent is Lyle Frettwell.
4. Devil Anse Hatfield
Hatfield mad an impressive debut in Ascension, sinking in a guillotine on Sungwon Jung at the end of the second round. Despite a relatively short career, Hatfield has been in the cage with aformidable array of opponents. He doesn't have a fight scheduled yet, but is only a couple more wins from title contention.
5. Lyle Fretwell
Fretwell will be making his Ascension debut in a very tough fight with Clones jr at Ascension 1029. Fretwell cut his teeth at Highland Games and is known for his submission grappling expertise. He hasn't shown the best chin, so it will be interesting to see how he navigates the heavy hitters at LHW.
