 Dean Holliday’s INY Rankings
If you're a new manager, a new fighter, just joining Immortals New York, or if you're a vet whose just really busy and haven't had a chance to keep up. Here's what's going on in every division of our awesome f*cking org!!! Wev'e got more meat than Kim K's boyfriends put together, more guts than an episode of The Walking Dead, and more heart than that damn Hobbit character with The Precious! Strap in, grab a beer, and let's get this 747 off the ground!
We’ll start with the little guys ..the 135lbs’ers! The division is a newly created division here within INY, and the these fighters endure their first test at INY’s TUF Round 1, scheduled for September 26th , here at the Underground IN New York, NY. So far there are a lot of talkers, but we’ll see who has “the stones” come September 26th. I’ll personally be watching Colt “Lone Gun” McLaren to see if he’s all warrior, or all walrus. Will Puablo Escobar is gonna do a Mexican hat dance on McLaren’s head.

#3 Samuel Washington - (7-1) He’s here, now he needs to show us something.
#4 Aldous Huxley (7-1) - Has skill, but new to INY. Maybe he should talk to Ray Cold (from Bellum, 0-2 in INY)?

#3 Bernhard Taylor (7-0) - Only fighter here who has no experience with the top 5. Oddly, he’s in the driver’s seat. A fan favorite, all eyes are on this guy!!!

#2 Joe Frazier( 6-1) – Had a mis-step against Sparks who all but disappeared. Frazier vs Kally is inevitable!!!
#3 Soham Roy (6-0) – Perfect, but untested vs Top 5 fighters. Any of the honorable mentions would be a good fight for Roy

Fights to Watch: Styles VS Kalashnikov, Roy VS Fujiata
[b]265lbs Plus Division[/b] – Ravil Lebedev (5-0)
