 LOM Season 2 Middleweight Winner

                          Vinicius Kicklighter (10-4-0)

LOM 2 was an interesting format to say the least. In addition to the Welterweight and Lightweight Tournaments there was a Middleweight Tournament, which involved only the Coaches prized pupils.

Vinicius was Coach Action Jackson's entrant in the tourney and after seeing the rest of his team fall in the opening rounds, Vinicius set out to be the glimmer of light for Team Action. Kicklighter was first matched against Dillon Hardman whom he fought to a Unanimous Decision. Vinicius put on a boxing clinic in a fairly competitive match, the difference maker had to have been his ability to shut down Hardman's Clinch attempts. In the Semi Finals he met a tough wrestler in Thorin Oakenshield who was hellbent on getting the Takedown. Vinicius looked phenomenal in this fight shutting down 11 of 13 takedown attempts. His striking was crisp and persistent as he landed a perfect 13/13 of his Strikes. The end came with just 2 seconds left in the first round as Kicklighter landed an absolutely brutal jaw shattering left hook that put Thorin out cold. The Finals was then set as he met an equally impressive striker in the likes of Hendrix Cabrera. Kicklighter once again looked great on the Feet and in the clinch, he developed a little Kicking technique in this fight as well, as he cruised to a 5 round unanimous Decision. 

With the Win he claimed the title of LOM Middleweight winner as well as capturing the Madness Middleweight Championship. With Madness MMA on the brink of closing Vinicius would walk out to the cage one last time with the promotion making his Sole Title Defense in a rematch with Thorin Oakenshield. Oakenshield looked like he was on the verge of avenging his loss and taking the belt as he wrestled his way to a quick 3-0 lead on the scorecards. Round four Thorin looked a little winded though and Vinicius took full advantage as he stuffed a poor takedown attempt which set up a crisp counter jab that wobbled his foe. At the 2:22 mark in round 4 Kicklighter yet again lands a beastly Hook that puts Thorin to sleep.

Vinicius then had a brief run at SICKNESS370k+ where he ended up picking up the Middleweight title there as well, in his last fight with the company beating Bofur Widenose. It was a tough Fight that saw the two combatants go the distance in a 20-minute two round bout, with Kicklighter getting the Unanimous Decision nod. "Kid Vicious" was then signed to a Multi fight contract with Enigma and earned an immediate Title fight against their champion DeShaun Holton Jr. This fight was a banger, but unfortunately Vinicius saw his 7-fight win streak snapped as Holton was one step ahead of him in the striking department, as Kicklighter was TKO'd in the first round. Vinicius has since went on to an inconsistent career with Enigma which ultimately saw Manager Action Jackson parting ways with the young striker.

Now just 25 years old and signed to Los Angeles Fighting Championship (370k+) Kicklighter looks to embark in career resurgence with his new manager Art Of War . He will meet Leroy Brown at LAFC 53 later this month
