Author:Chris Garcia

Weeks ago they started. They spend a lot of time here. Dedication. Passion. Sacrifice. They came here to dominate. They came here to win. They came here to make their legacy. To prove. Themselves. Their skills. Their place in this world. European Premier League became a place to do this. Became a stage for best fighters. Stage for greatest battles. It’s a place where legends are born, and icons are made. Third season is about to end. This is last time. Last chance. Last opportunity to make it happen. This is Season Finale! IT’S TIME!

We had 14 fighters. 14 top fighters. Then, we had just 6 of them. Next stage – and it was just 4 of them. Now – we have only 2 fighters in this competition. 2 fighters that made their way THROUGH everything and everyone. Freak nature terminator with one objective on his mind – James “Bombman” Bomb. For him, it’s just business now. Hard hitting boxer with dynamite-packed gloves – Rollen Spliffs. For him, it’s case of being the best in this season. These will collide in what will be one of the biggest fights in VFs history.

This is Vicious Fight’s creation.

This is Euro Premier League Season 3.

This…Is…Season Finale!

Red hot card will be opened by 155lbs fighters, Rolland Pierre and Rafael Aranyos. Rolland is coming of a submission victory that saved his spot in VF. For now. Rafael is looking to make his debut outside his native Brazil. Both are 2-2 and both are hungry for another victory. Rafael is explosive fighter – his last 3 fights ended INSIDE 2 mintues. Win or lose, he didn’t fought longer lately. And that includes 5 seconds submission victory. Rolland holds 2 submission victories of his own, so he won’t be afraid to roll with Rafael. And as he NEVER saw decision, you can be sure that this one will end up quickly!

Since losing a rematch to current Light Heavyweight champion, Alex Anderson, Brian Baxter made his presence felt once again with two big KO victories over very gamed opponents. He puts together 4-2 record in VF and all of his wins here came by way of KO or TKO in first round. He proved to be “Man To Beat” at 205lbs, and that’s why Alex Karelin wants to fight him. “Beer” is amazing wrestler, but it may not be enough against that rocket launchers in Baxter’s hands. Anderson showed a blueprint – If you want to beat Brian, do not stand with him. Drag him down and finish him there. Will Kareling do this? He seems to be man to that job.

Say what you want about lighter weight classes, but you can’t take their spirit from them. Jay Warner secured his title shot by beating Gianpaolo Cassano. But he didn’t want to just sit back and wait. He wants to stay busy, and he accepted threw by Erin Dolor-  who will make his Lightweight debut. Stake is high – Jay’s no. 1 contender status is out for grasp. Erin is confident that he can stop Jay, take his momentum and go on – to face whoever will hold the Lightweight title at the time. But Jay…well, he aint gonna laid down and wait for Dolor to finish him. We are set for HUGE Lightweight war!

And after that, two of Warner’s victims will collide – when Grigoriev Maxim will take on Gianpaolo Cassano. What they can do to prove that they deserves a spot at the top of the 155 rankings? Win. Win impressively. For someone it may be Do or Die, but fact remains – if they think about challenging for title in future, they need to put together awesome winning streak. And for both of them this show will be perfect place to start it. Both feel comfortable on the ground, and both won every fight by way of (T)KO. These kids are finishers, and they are looking to take over that division. Who knows? Maybe they are next big things at 155? This question may be answered by the end of the night.

It was shocking upset, when Rollen Spliffs’ hand was raised in a victory after knocking out Randy Ortiz. Ortiz was a heavy favor to win this season, especially after being ONLY man that beat –and what more important, only man that finished James Bomb thus far. Now he will fight Charlie McGregor, to determine who will take 3rd spot of this tournament. They met on event 7, where Randy was able to score a KO Of The Night award over Charlie. But “Big Yin” seems to be other fighter now, more determined to prove that he can beat Ortiz. This will serve as our Co Main Event, and will warm up fans before last fight. And lot of fans believes that true Main Event includes Randy Ortiz.

Weeks of hard work paid off. Now it’s just two man, standing in front of each other. Fame, Glory and 4 million dollars are waiting for a winner of last fight. James “Bombman” Bomb Vs Rollen Spliffs. These two was going after each other in the rankings, end up as first and second with a tickets to semifinals. Two hard hitting KO artist – with combined 58 (T)KO victories are set to fight each other again. Now, it doesn’t matter what happened before – It’s sudden death. One mistake, and you are out. Take eyes off the prize for one second, and in next second you will wake up in flashlight in your eyes. Do not hesitate. Do not wait. They have to go there, throw everything on each other and hope to knock opponent out. It’s MUST-SEE fight. You can’t miss it. Be ready world – it’s gonna be amazing!
