They say good things come in threes well this Thursday Night In London Sean OMalley vs Shigeru Otori 3, should be a prime example of that. "Super" Sean is currently 2-0 against the Japanese Superstar but We have seen Otori's work ethic is like no other and the man is on a road to redemption. With recent news from the DMMA head office that the Kersikov boys are coming back, Its very likely that the winner of this Bantamweight Title fight will be in negotiations to face former champ Marko Kersikov in the very near future to crown the UNDISPUTED DMMA Bantamweight Champion.

Main Card
Light Heavyweight Division
Derwent Bolt vs Misak Grigorian
Two Newcomers to the DMMA Light Heavyweight division will be pitted together in a striker vs Grappler showdown to start the Main Card PPV!
Working, England product, Derwin Bolt has had a healthy career thus far in both MMA and Grappling competitions. The one time Sucker Punch Light Heavyweight Title Contender now sets his sights on MMA primarily once again here at Dynasty. Bolt is now a Red Belt in BJJ which and has an impressive Grappling record of 11-4 overall. Derwin's MMA career has shown exactly why he is a scary guy to face if you go to the mat picking up 7 of his 9 victories by Submission.
Standing on the other side of the cage will be a phenomenal striker out of Yereven, Armenia notching 8 (T)KO wins in his 19-fight career. Misak has spent his entire career at Sucker Punch pro Series where I can assure you he has fought some top competition. The Wild man Grigorian loves to stand and bang and that's what's we appreciates about him, but sometimes he needs to protect that chin a little better. He wont need to worry much about that in this fight, more so watch out for that Takedown cause he don't want to go there with Mr. Bolt.
Welterweight Division
Anderson Gracie vs Terrance Graves
Two rising stars in the Welterweight Division put there current Undefeated streaks on the line!
Anderson Gracie has come on like a firecracker sense his 1-2 start in DMMA. Gracie has now won 5 straight fights and has emerged as legit threat beating Raminus Polus, Boyka Kersikov and avenging one of his two prior losses to Dag Schotel. "Agente" is well known for his Jitz at the Convicted Top Team BJJ coach Jared of Subway once stated "Gracie is a ruthless man on the ground, and was the originator of the Oil Check, don't leave your back open mate". Gracie has had a bit of down time from the sport over the years, but this 2023 year has kept him very busy. Look out for this guy.
Belfast native, Terrance Graves has also had a likewise year start to 23 winning 3 straight and looking for #4. This streak was much needed for Terrance as well, who was previously on the wrong side of a 3-fight streak, but it should be noted he put up a hell of a fight in all those loses. Graves is known for his Big Right Hand, but his Skillset has come along very well, just look at his Highlight reel Head Kick KO of former Lightweight champ Kra Hang. Terrance most recently picked up a hard-fought win over Marcus Alexander. Graves will look to take another step towards a world title opportunity in his home Country tomorrow, Night!
Middleweight Division
Eric Distefano vs Apollo Rocky
Next up a couple Hard Hitting Middleweights look to get the London Fans alive with an all out Slugfest.
New York Bad Ass Eric Distefano will be out for his 3rd straight win inside the Dynasty Cage. He last appeared at DMMA 178 with a 1rst TKO stoppage of Kake Kummola, his 14th KO of his career. Long removed from his championship days as the Blaze MMA Middleweight Champ, The Italian American is always a tough draw and looks to be in his prime form once again. When Eric hits the cage there is a great chance you will be treated to a insane Knock Out, Only thing is when hes not dishing out them Knock Outs he is also receiving his fair share.
The Mad Mongolian Apollo Rocky has had a roller coaster of a ride since joining the DMMA Middleweight division Following up every devastating win he has had an equally devasting Loss by way of (T)KO. Rocky has got some thunderous Knee strikes as seen in his Knee KO finishes of both Tom Korppila and Keanu Reeves. Rocky came here looking like a potential Title contender and at the time of having his 7 fight win streak going rightfully so. The Potential has dropped a bit but the Door is still wide open for Apollo he Just needs to knock that mutha fucka down!
Co-Main Event
Light Heavyweight Division
Yar Bol vs Moritz Zimmerman
Styles will clash as One of DMMA's top KO artist squares off with one of their most creative grapplers in the CO-Main Event.
A longtime member of Gwad's Playpen, Yar Bol has recently switch fight camps for the first time in his career. Now under the tutelage of new manager Jet, he now trains with the guys at BRAZILIAN TOP TEAM. Not many can match this Sudanese Slugger in punching power with every one of his victories coming by way of (T)KO. Some of the notable victims of his blunt force trauma are Hall of famer Charles Tucker, Lucas McCain, and Swole Ricky Martin. Bol has gone the distance just twice in his career and is vulnerable to getting Knocked out himself but is far more Superior to laying the smack down!
Moritz Zimmerman will be looking to bounce back in the winner's circle after a disappointing TKO Loss to current #1 Contender Devonte Pinks just a few weeks ago. Zimmerman was up two rounds before Pinks went off with a barrage forcing the bout to halt with less then 3 minutes remaining. Moritz has fought a lot of the same guys as his opponents as his foe and has only been to a Decision 3 times himself. It's no surprise the Sub of the Night Awards are a lot easier to obtain then the others, but regardless Moritz has quite the cabinet of them with 9 currently.
Main Event
Bantamweight Championship
Sean O Malley vs Shigeru Otori
A new Bantamweight Champion will be crowned as former cham O Malley returns to 135 against his old foe Otori who is seeking ultimate redemption!
"Super" Sean O Malley has had a storied career here at Dyansty thus far as one of the most Lethal Strikers in the smaller weight classes. Sean now has 16 (T)KOs to his record with 7 of them making him some extra bank winning "KOTN" honors. It's not normal for a guy coming off a loss to get a Title fight but "Super" Sean is well deserving in my opinion, for one we know Hes going to put on a show and is a former champion. Also though having two wins over the top Contender of the Division it's like they say "To be the Man, you got to beat the Man" Woooooohhhhhh!. Irish born O Malley may have been looking to get in the Kumite at an early age but where glad he said to hell with that and jumped in the MMA cage instead,
Shigeru Otori has become the Ironman of Dynasty MMA with 14 Decision wins in the Org, tying Hall of Famer Jaxon Magrath for the record with his most recent win. Born in Kyoto, Japan Otori has been on a incredible 7-1 run under his new Management team. This run includes avenging two prior losses over both Lennart Hohenthal, and Frank Rizzo. Not to mention big wins over the likes of Maurits Assndrop, Koa Bouddi, and Xylon Kofel to name a few, Shigeru has well-earned this title fight. This is a very important fight for him in many ways, picking up a win over O Malley for one, but also shaking his apparent Title fight curse as he's gone 0-3 in his career. Otori has only been finished twice in his career, his debut fight, and of course one of his loses to Sean, If he can avoid that this time around, we could be in store for a Fight of the Year Canidate.
Now ladies and Gents it's time to get my own 420 Festivities under way, so i must bid you all a fond adieu!
