 Presented By Torment MMA-LA
It's Finally that time again life just isn't worth livin without some Torment MMA-LA fight action. Just kidding fella's life is awesome got a new Baby boy on the way can't wait to use him as my punching bag well when hes 5 or 6 at least. Back to the action we got the Featherweight Title tourney getting under way, as well we got the 205 simi's. All and all we got one hell of a event yet again. We will be back at the Hard Knocks Arena and look to sale out again. I know the NFL season will be starting up this sunday and i am sure you all will be dialed in on that but leave your Saturday night open for the Torment LA show folks you wont regret it.
Let's take a look and see what the card has in store for us.
Prelims
Rodrigo "Scary Skilled" Oliveira (0-1-1) Vs. Rodrigo "Puffpuffpass" Reefer (0-3-0)
Kicking us off is the fight for the rights of the name Rodrigo winner takes it the other guy must change there name immediatley. Oliveira has been out of action for quite a few month's, looks like he has been devoted to turning his career around. "Scary Skilled" is coming out there with fantastic Muay Thai and a BJJ Purple belt. He has a good chin so i see him using his Muay Thai skills a lot in this bout look for him to explode early. Reefer is on a 3 fight loosing streak and really needs this fight to stay alive in the org. He has some awesome Boxing just has not been able to use it much. Let's hope Reefer steps it up in this bout and puts on a great fight to start things off.
Sam "Bad Mother" Tucker (0-1-0) Vs. Almas "SubMishMan" Mustafin (2-5-0)
Got a heavyweight clash up next with two guys ready to climb up a long ladder of awesome heavy's here at Torment LA. Tucker had a unsucessfull debut dropping a UD in his first pro fight. Sam has a purple belt in BJJ and is a very determind fighter he looks pretty balanced. Mustafin has a BJJ purple belt as well and look for him to shoot for a takedown at some point. Almas is giving up nearly 8 inches in height so this may be something to watch out for he needs to find a way to get inside on his towering opponent.
Luke Hobbs (0-1-0) Vs. "The Gracefull" Benjamin Akebono (1-2-0)
The next bout will take place at lightheavyweight Jack vs. the Beanstalk. Young Luke Hobbs is looking for his first victory here after a close decision loss in his pro debut. Hobbs has a nice chin and good boxing skills, his BJJ is his bread and butter though. Akebono is got to be the tallest Lightheavyweight around standing in at 7 feet tall. Ben likes to shoot a lot of takedowns which may be a bad decision in this fight as he looks to be outclassed on the ground here. The big issue with Akebone here is he seems to train to hard which may play a big role in his stamina. Let's hope he takes some time to rest or he may be forced to in this fight with Hobbs possibly choking out the Bean pole.
Scott "Raven" Levy (2-0-0) Vs. Rick "Byotch" James (2-1-0)
in are final prelim fight we got a couple of nice Middleweight prospects. Levy is good wrestler with a good Knowledge of BJJ as well. He is looking to keep his undefeated streak in tact in this bout to do this he will want to bring it to the ground and use his excellent GnP. "Raven" comes from the Steel Penn camp and by the way my Son that is on the way will be taken the name Raven. James is a perfect 2-0 here at Torment LA with two first round subs. Rick is a very intelligent fighter with a great BJJ game a true master in the making on the ground. This fight should be a nice grappling showing with James the submission guy against a grinder and GnP beast in Levy.
Main-Card
Featherweight Title Challenge Match #1
Alexis "The Original" Hendriks (3-0-0) Vs. Killin "Just for" Spight (3-0-0)
Are first Featherweight challenge matchup is a battle of the undefeated. Hendriks a brown belt in BJJ is a first round submission finisher with 3 total. He also has decent Muay Thai and very good Kicks, former Featherweight champ of Torment Vegas looking to hit it big here in LA. Spight is a boxer who likes to use his powerful clinching to intimedate his foes. Killin also has some good wrestling which makes it hard to get him down. Spight a member of the Duphus camp will be looking to keep Ruphus undefeated here at Torment LA.
Featherweight Title Challenge Match #2
"Mean" Marty Downer (2-0-0) Vs. Zak Moro (4-0-0)
Matchup #2 will pit a couple of decision makers hopefully this one will be a three round war. Marty Downer has a solid all around game and looks to have a good Gas tank. Downer likes to counter punch and also has a Blue belt in BJJ. Moro a boxer stylist is coming off a "Fight of the Night" performance. AT 4-0 Zak wants to keep it rollin here with another big win. Moro does tend to cut but with his boxing experience i see him staying clear of the Majority of his opponents strikes using a lot of head movement.
Featherweight Title Challenge Match #3
"The Hammer" Jackson Briggs (1-0-0) Vs. "Cj Corona" Renato King (5-2-0)
In the third bout of the Challenge we got a couple of youngsters stepping into the Torment Cage. Briggs has a balanced attack and he likes to brawl. He was down in his pro debut but secured a nice arm triangle to make his opponent tape in the second round, nice come from behind victory. He also has a good chin which he will want to stand in this bout so that chin he will need. King looks to be one of the favorites in the featherweight tourney he holds a BJJ Brown belt. To go with his great BJJ he has some ferocious Ground and Pound. On his feet Renato is no novice either with Knockout power he can get the job done anywhere the fight goes.
Featherweight Title Challenge Match #4
"The Descent" Incan Bulb (2-0-0) Vs. "Werewolf" Viktor Black (6-1-0)
The final fight in the Challenge is gonna be my "Fight of the Night" pick this week. Bulb has looked very impressive here at Torment with two "of the Night" performances already. Incan has a very well rounded MMA game which makes it very tough for the rest of the field. Incan is a very accurate striker so i see him trying to keep this fight standing but if it goes to the ground the BJJ purple belt is not going to be very uncomfortable there either. Viktor has a lot of experience and has his eyes set on that championship belt no doubt. After dropping his first fight of his career Viktor has managed to go on a 6 fight win streak. Black will be wanting to get this fight to the ground ASAP but if not his Granite chin should keep him in the fight for a bit. This one is gonna be a freakin war people.
Co-Main Event
Light Heavyweight Simi-Finals Match #1
Alex "Nailed" Your Momma (5-0-0) Vs. "Lihava"Liha Rekka (5-0-0)
We are going to have are Lightheavyweight Title Final set after saturdays event. First up Rekka takes on Your Momma haha had to say it. Rekka put away the Bosses fighter Antonio Silva with a nasty head kick in the open round. Liha is a very powerfull fighter with a very good Muay Thai style he loves to overwhelm his foes in the clinch. If he can control the clinch in this bout watch out for his knees they can make even John Wayne himself cry like a baby. Alex is a very heavy handed boxer with 4 of his 5 wins being Knockouts. Another Duphus team member he will be tested very well in this bout with Rekka. This bout may come down to cardio then again what the hell am i thinking someone is getting Knocked the Buck out.
Main Event
Light Heavyweight Simi-Finals Match #2
Azazle "The Red Bull" Aroman (3-0-0) Vs. "Suga" Rashad Evans (7-1-0)
Here we go lady's and gents the Main Event is up next and we got a Barn burner in store for ya here. Azazle is a decorated collegiate wrestler says his bio, i believe it. He also has some heavy hands from the mount as he finished all his fights from there including a cut stoppage over Pat Berry. Not to much is known of his striking on the feet though lets hope it's up to par. "Suga" is a very well rounded fighter with a solid chin. Rashad will want to keep this bout standing since his foe has not been there much, to do so he better be ready to stuff the Takedown. Evans has 4 KO's on his resume so let's see how Aroman can handle a Striker such as his caliber. Damn that Title Final is gonna be nice.
Thats the way she goes fans gonna be a night to remember Saturday. We are bringing in some big names here to Torment MMA so the Competition is gonna be balls to the walls. Best of luck to all the warriors on this card, they will be putting on one hell of a Event so they deserve it.
Peace out
Pat Miletich
