Here’s a wild and gritty recap of four action-packed events brought to you by MMA Hype Promotions, masterminded by James Listerman and mic-dropped into reality by the ever-stylish Jay Lawrence. Sponsored by the blood-splattered brilliance of Bloodbath Clothing (BBC), the cage saw knockouts, submissions, and scrambles galore across two MMA events and two grappling wars.

The fists were flying early in this one. Douglas Clark earned KO of the Night with a clean 1st round finish over Gage Burns, while Eduardo Carvalho made Xarlis Oulibera scream tap with an armbar for Sub of the Night.
The Fight of the Night went to a back-and-forth chess match between Denzel Rosales and Kieran Chan, where Rosales squeaked out a decision.
Also making noise:

Koen Webb set a stopwatch-breaking KO at 19 seconds.
Anming Li, Rory Lucas, and Gromoboy Surovij all delivered decisive TKOs.

📍 April 12 | Las Vegas | The Parisian
Event Rating: 154.27 | Attendance: 4,278
When the dust settled, Vanderley Ferreira stood tall with the heavyweight title around his waist and Sub of the Night honors after an R5 armbar on George Wilder. He didn’t win a war—he ended one. This was a rematch after a heated exchange between both fighter's managers outside of the cage. Ferreira got the final say. Now, Wilder must fight to get another title shot and another chance at Ferreira.
Hector Wallace delivered the KO of the Night in 5 seconds flat. The man walked in and threw a grenade.
The Fight of the Night was a three-round slugfest between Juanito De La Cruz and Walter White, with De La Cruz pulling off a late TKO in round 3.
Other killers on the card:
October Weathers, Otto Chang, and Erling Bjerg all delivered stunning finishes. October Weather earned title contender awards and will fight for the title in the near future.
Nathan Sanford forced a doctor stoppage via cut in dramatic fashion.
Brad Tulips, Ratibor Volkov, and King James all added strong wins to their resumes.
🤼 Grappling Hype -9
📍 April 13 | Los Angeles | Venice Beach
Event Rating: 243.86 | Attendance: 6,069
Nano Grippy lived up to the name with a triangle choke that came faster than a sneeze—Sub of the Night in just 28 seconds.
But it was the showdown between Dram Macallan and Kevin Hart that stole the spotlight with Fight of the Night. Macallan sealed it with a tight guillotine at 12:45 after a scrappy, crowd-popping exchange. Rumor is Dram Macallan will be hitting the free agency soon, leaving the possibility for another manager to join the midget action.
Also showing world-class mat skills:
Don Cortez submitted Tres Sulvar to claim the 265+ title. Don Cortez now sits on top as the highest hyped Grappler at MMA Hype.
Gromli Grumblegut made short work of Ashton Short in just 25 seconds.
Ronan Darongo, Christine St. Georges, and Bone Breaker earned hard-fought decisions.
Otto Kolan, Kevin Durant, and Paul Crewe all added slick finishes or gritty wins to their records.
🤼 Grappling Hype -10
📍 April 13 | Las Vegas | Sparta’s Palace
Event Rating: 236.63 | Attendance: 6,717
The crowd got their money’s worth as Smalliver Twist and Victor Kramer battled to an exhausting 15-minute decision that earned Fight of the Night—a technical tug-of-war from start to finish.
Jack Dredd didn’t waste time—his 18-second triangle on Torso Junior snatched Sub of the Night honors and probably a few fans too.
Other elite grappling displays:
Olaf Koks retained the 135 lbs title with a textbook RNC.
Scott Dolton, Dick Dennison, and Salomon Mukunzi all scored submissions with ruthless efficiency.
Lyric Mann, Enrique Montoya, and Lehel Bartasz held their own with dominant decisions.
Big Guy added another Americana to his collection.
🔥 Blood-soaked, submission-choked, and highlight-filled…
