Author:Jonah King

 Satuarday Night at the Hayashi's Lounge is going to be popping when 2,000 Fallen Champions fans pile in to watch a great night of Kickboxing action. We have 10 fights on the slate, looks like everybody has made weight and hopefully the event goes off without a hitch! Lets get the action under way. 


185lbs-Conor McGregor(1-1) vs Gevorg Petrosyan(0-1)-Gevorg by (t)KO in 1st Rd


265lbs-Noah Sanchez(0-1)vsMasaya Shibya(1-1)-Shibya by KO in 1st Rd


155lbs-Jacinto Ramos(1-0)(0-0)vsYermolai Vladislav(1-0)-Ramos by UD


265lbs-Psalmiel Iheaka(0-0)vsSam Valentine(0-0)-Valentine by UD


185lbs-Humpty Dumbrowski(1-0-1)vsRupeni Veitayaki(1-0-1)-Humpty by UD


155lbs-Herbert Shrubbery(1-0)vsArgus Lekas(2-0)


We start off the Main Card inside the 155lb division where these two guys will be putting their undefeated KT records on the line in what is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Herbert showed some paper skin earlier on in his career, but so far that hasn't made a difference in the outcomes of any of his fights. His striking was on display in his last outting where he ended Glo Kem's night with a Head Kick KO in the 3rd. Lekas is a Heavy Handed striker who showed his toughness in his debut when he grinded out a tough decision victory over a much older opponent. This one should turn into a striking war and would could see a quick finish on either end, but I think that Lekas has the skill set to have the edge.


185lbs-Paul"Poncho"Niche(1-0)vsFranky Conner(1-1)


After a rough start to his Pro career Paul Niche made the move to KT, where he earned a hard fought decision victory over Eric Brooks on the Hardknocks card. He has showed to have some heavy hands, and there have been more than one report from his camp about him KO'ing sparring partners but he has yet to be able to showcase that power. Franky Conner has displayed a granite chin so far in his career, being able to absorb a crazy amount of punishment and keeps coming. Both of his pro fights have gone the distance, and he has came out on both ends of the decisions.I think this one is going to be a war, and will prolly go the distance and I'm sure that both fighters will be banged up. If Niche's chin can hold up to the punishment I think he will be able to edge out Conner on the Judge's score cards. 


"Baron"Andriy Pavlyuchenko(1-1)vsJaie Lyons(0-1)


This is a rematch from the Striker's Paradise card, that seen Baron win by tko in the 2nd Round. After the fight Jaie said he was injured and asked for a rematch and some time to get his affairs in order. Andriy granted his wish but took a fight to try to stay sharp in the meantime, where he got completely manhandled by our Main eventer Zoro. Baron has the size advantage in this match up, but Lyons really showed off his quickness in their first match up. I think this fight could look awhole different then the first one if Lyon's can keep it at striking distace, but if Andriy can close the distance he should be able to use his size to earn another victory. 


"The Skyscraper"Zach Dio(1-2-1)(0-0)vsJacek Kaminski(0-0)


Up next we have a fight between too of the BIG BOYS, with over 550lbs of combined weight for this one there should be some hard hitting action. Both guys are making their FC debut, Dio is coming over from EFFA and Jacek is making his going to try his luck at KT for the first time. The Skyscraper got that nickname for a reason and he will have a huge reach advantage in this one, Jacek may have a hard time even punching him in the face. Dio has had a rough go so far in his KT career and hopes to gain some momentum going forward with a win. Jacek has had more than a few manager changes and that could explain his lackluster career up to this point. I think Zach is going to make quick work of his opponent in this one and earn a Knock out victory. 


Jared Wild(5-4)(1-0)vsZoro Fortisimo(1-0)


Our Main Event of the evening showcases these knock out artist, going to war for 5 3 minute rounds inside the FC Ring! Jared Wild has a live by the sword, die by the sword philosophy having all of his fights ending by KO. Zoro has just recently made the jump to the Kickboxing world, and looked good in his debut dishing out a ton of punishment but not being quite able to finish off his opponent. Both of these guys come from great camps and I am sure that they will both come in very well prepared. Wild will have the weight advantage, but Zoro will have the height and reach edge. Zoro should be able to use that reach and his exceptional striking ability to keep this fight at distance, but Wild is no push over either. Both of these guys are very heavy handed, and it will come down to who has the better gameplan and can get ahead on the score cards as I see  this one being a canidate for Fight of the Night.
