 Nov 4 - Weekly Recap
By far the busiest weekend we’ve seen yet. For the first time ever, we had 20 fights in one night at MMA Hype by combining Hype 7 & 8 together for one massive event. This gives us twice as many awards to hand out, so here we go!
Hype 7 Fight of the night went to Darryl Pitts and Ratibor Volkov who gave the fans an all out standup war that got the judges in all sorts of troubles. Pitts ended up with the split decision win, by getting the edge with his body shots. Volkov tried to use his height advantage throughout the fight to stay out of range of headshots, but his opponent came in swinging low more often than anticipated. With this win, Pitts is now 2-0, which puts another contender to the top of the stacked 145 division.
Hype 7 KO of the night went to Billy Leighton who only needed 22 seconds to send his opponent on the mat and finish the fight. Leighton had a clear counter strike game plan ready for the fight, and it worked flawlessly. He stuffed 5 takedowns in 15 seconds, then he timed a perfect overhand right, and that’s all his opponent remembers. Tip of the day: if you’re predictable, you won’t be comfortable.
Hype 7 Submission of the night went to Charles Luciano who got ragdolled for 2 rounds, then finally got to a comfortable position on the ground and locked in a beautiful kimura from side control that forced his opponent to tap. Luciano barely survived the fight by being dominated in all aspects of the stand up game. When his corner told him he was behind in the fight at the end of the second round, he had no choice but to turn it around and go all in, which gave us one hell of a slick submission.

Just Fights 8 shook the underground fight scene to its core with its brutal, no-holds-barred clashes. But the most shocking moment of the night came when not one, but two champions fell from grace under the management of the feared Donovan Jimenez.
Jimmy Ray Watcher, a man known for his ferocious power and undefeated streak, met his match in a grueling title defense. In a brutal exchange that pushed both fighters beyond their limits, Watcher lost his belt in a shocking upset that has left fans in disbelief. It wasn’t just a loss—it was a fall from the top, as he was stripped of his invincible aura in front of an unforgiving crowd.

 On October 25th, 2024 Las Vegas Metro raided a local strip club, known for lewd after hours activities and BDSM. Just Fights middleweight champion, Shawn Silvia, was reportedly detained and removed from a backroom of the club. Found left alone and hanging from an anal hook, Shawn Silvia was found with a smile behind his leather-bound face and an alleged small (excitement) displayed from his naked body. Fortunately, no pictures were taken.
Silvia was further detained and questioned by Police after denying treatment for his injuries from the hook, cattle prods and whips. MMA Tycoon Jay Lawrence as seen picking Silvia up from the scene after he was released by police. In total, six people were arrested and three cited for criminal actions all related to prostitution and illicit drug activity.
Silvia will have to pass a drug test prior to his upcoming match at Just Fights against fellow Las Vegas native, Travis Guenette. Silvia and Guenette are both undefeated fighters in Just Fights with a combined record of 5-0. Both will be fighting not just for the middleweight title, but also for their future careers in MMA.
Silvia was not available for questioning.
Silvia fighter biography:
Raised on Steel Reserve and the occassional MD20-20, Shawn Silvia was born with a handicap - Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Against all odds, Silvia has overcome this and pursued a career in MMA. Some say his handicap is an unfair advantage, as he has limited to no feeling of pain. He might not be strong, skilled or talented. But one thing is for sure; Shawn Silvia can stand in the ring and fight.

 We’ve had a quick chat with manager James Listerman regarding an interesting rising star. Bryson Whitehead first auditioned to join the Summit series a few months ago, and was rejected by his own manager when he failed his physical test. He took it quite hard, but at the end of the day, he accepted his fate and has been training like an animal ever since. He is now a top contender in the 155 division at MMA Hype Promotions.

 John Daugherty, recent former owner and creator of ENIGMA sold his shares of the company and his staff has moved to Helsinki, Finland where they have partnered with Finn Nutrition and acquired the regional fight promotions to consolidate into FREAKSHOW. The new organization will have a unique structure that will differentiate itself from the other organizations. First and foremost, this will be starting as an 18 year old organization, but fighters will be handicapped at a bjj blue belt max. The reason for this is we want to promote mixed martial arts, and obviously the ground game is huge; that being said we don't want our young fighters that have yet to train for higher level bjj competition to fight grapplers. If a fight goes to the ground, all fighters should have an opportunity to not be overwhelmed. The next difference is how the organization will run. Daugherty says it will be consisted on six fighters per weight class, and every fighter will fight the other five opponents in a round robin format. Each victory will give points to the fighters, like the modern day Professional Fighters League. KO/TKO victories will earn 3 pts, Sub victories will earn 2 pts, and a decision win will give 1 pt. After all five fights are finished the top two fighters by points will fight for the belt. Daugherty says that each fight will be a 1x10 min round inside a ring with full fight scoring, to make sure that each fighter does their absolute best to finish their opponent. Each champion manager will receive a 50K bonus directly deposited into the manager's account, and then all champions will fight in an open weight tournament for the one million dollar prize. We expect this model to run by seasons, after the 1st season is complete a new set of fighters will be recruited, as will the age allowance as champions will continue to build a reputation. Contact owner John Daugherty for contracts, spots filling up fast! |
