Author:Tony Rossi

Welcome to the very first Wednesday Warfare being held by Honor Fighting Championship. This event will be presented by Meet the Future who will have all of your Honor Fighting Championship apparel needs. This event comes to you live at The Underground in Las Vegas Nevada. The Underground only holds one thousand people, and we will have two title fights so if you do not already have tickets you will have to wait for my event review. Before we get to the title fights there will be eight other action packed fights for us to see, so let’s dive on into the action.

Preliminary Bout Number 1- Bantamweight Fight

Bruce Lee (1-2) {0-2} versus King Pin (0-1) {0-0}

This should be a very interesting bout. Both of these guys are stand up fighters, and those types of fights tend to be a lot of fun. Lee started his career with a five second knock out of his opponent. Since then he has gone to dec

Fighter profile of Masahiko Kimura by

Hello I am Faisal Sharaheeli and its been awhile since Heroic fight fans have seen me around.  I am here in one of Heroic’s many studios with the self proclaimed HEROIC UNDISPUTED LIGHTWEIGHT  CHAMPION Masahiko Kimura, Kimura has stopped by for this interview so we can get to know him.

Fas: Hello Masahiko thank you for joining us, thank you for taking the time away from your training to come in and talk to me today. 

Kimmy:  I didn’t come here to talk to you, I came here to see myself on TV.

Fas:  Uh Mr Kimura I have no problem with you can we just get through this without incident? Without you bullying me?  Kimura what were you like as a kid? What was life like for you before fighting?

Kimmy:  I wasn’t always a bully you know As a young kid i was very popular, I had friends by the boat load, i was a jock who enjoyed wrestling and submission grappling, until my 17th Birthday my Mum and Dad split up and my mother took me 400 miles south to Kumamoto. i dropped out of college in my first year and joined a local gang.

Fas:  A gang?  Um that explains a lot, are you still in this gang?  What was the gang like?

GAMMA: 2 Hall of fame inductions

Global Association of MMA, Fight Organization, London
Company profile by Mentor Guru Corleone

The most historic organization in the game GAMMA is proud to announce the induction of 2 fighters to the Hall of Fame. Both fighters are products of the great former GAMMA manager Mr Gutz.

Alan Bundy

Fought in GAMMA from 2010-10-30 till 2012-12-15 and had a second stint under new management in 2013. Managed by GAMMA veteran manager Mr Gutz and arguably one of the 3 best all time 170lbs fighters ever with a total of 12 title defenses which equals that of Alexander Khalifman. Bundy was a beast for most of his GAMMA career, beating all the challengers for the 170lbs title. If you could pin down a weakness in his run for GAMMA is his super fight record against other organizations. Alan had a great run outside of GAMMA, winning the NFC title. His second stint for the company was much less impressive though and never hit the old form he showed. His 5 fight rivalry with HOFer Jack Burton was one of the best super star vs underdog stories in GAMMA's history.

Anton Chigurh

Fought in GAMMA from x to Y, another product managed by Mr Gutz. Anton is a 265lbs champion and he was a beast! His KO power was legendary. He was probably the most successful super fight product GAMMA ever had outside of Jeremy Tonal. His road of destruct

INSANITY 7: Prepare For War

On the final show of January 2014, we start out with some Welterweight fighters looking to make themselves famous inside the cage. Trevor Philips Vs. Matt Gracie are the brave men ready to duke it out. And Philips hits a quick double leg for the takedown and looks to get control of this fight, he tries a quick sub that doesn't work but he won't give up... Wait, Gracie has gotten an arm triangle and Philips passes out as he doesn't give up... Gracie looks happy as he makes short work of his opponent and goes home with a nice submission.
Time for featherweights (Spoiler: they actually don't really weigh as much as a feather!), Ryan DePloi Vs. Abraham Donowitz and they look ready for a long fight... Donowitz hits a filthy uppercut and DePloi is KTFO'd, Donowitz continues the fight as the referee is too busy making selfies, but eventually

The Dangerous Mind Of George Kelly

Editorial by Igor Byhenikov

 The Dangerous Mind Of George Kelly

George Kelly is that man who keeps you thinking every second you spend with him.

He doesn't care who he faces, and name James Dean Rockefeller doesn't mean anything to him.

"I don't really watch MMA so I'm not familiar with his accomplishments. All I've heard is that the guy likes to dry hump more than anything and that he reeks like a scurvy butt-pirate."

James isn't totally unknown man for Kelly. They had little conversation after the Kelly vs Page back in January 8th.

"Just little mind games." Kelly said. "Gotta say that this Rockafeller character is one delusional individual.Will be my pleasure to bury my shin to his face."

Kelly is looking to keep his 155 lbs belt for long time. He has lost his belt once to Maxim Vyacheslav Volkov, and he doesn't want to lose ever again.

"My toughest opponent so far was that crazy Russian Volkov" Kelly said. "Thankfully i was able to redeem myself in the rematch."

"Dennis Page was the easiest. I was preparing to fight a scrapper with heavy hands but what I faced was an intoxicated disoriented shadow of a wrestler. It was weird

HONOR FC replaces Steel Penn ICON - Las Vegas

Editorial by

Ladies and Gentlemen, there is a new name in mixed martial arts in Las Vegas. After five successful events under the Steel Penn ICON banner, the fight organization formally known as Steel Penn ICON - Las Vegas will be withdrawing its operations from the ICON project and striking out on its own as an independent organization known as Honor Fighting Championship.

Honor Fighting Championship will officially launch on Saturday night February 1st 2014 with Honor FC 1 Renaissance at the Underground, where the very first Honor Champion will be crowned in the 135lb division. Honor FC will then hold events every weekend in various arenas in and around Las Vegas as well as a regular midweek show called Wednesday War each and every Wednesday at the Underground. Honor FC Wednesday War I will be on Wednesday night February 5th and two more Honor Champions will be crowned in the 145lb and 170lb weight classes on that card.

Honor FC will continue to sign the best names in MMA as well as the most promising young up and coming fighters, all striving to climb the monthly top 10 rankings and earn a shot at one of the prestigious Honor FC Championship belts.

Honor Fighting Championship is very pleased to announce the hiring of Tony Rossi as our brand new Event Press Reporter.

SPNY 151: Insano vs Danze Preview

Good evening and welcome to the Hard Knocks Arena here in New York City where we are about to begin SPNY 151, a 10 fight MMA rules card featuring the very important Heavyweight clash between recently deposed champion Felipezoom Insano and fellow contender Billy Danze, as well as the Featherweight title defence of Joaquim Antunes against Dean Hall. For those of you who like the big men 4 fights tonight will match up Heavyweights, in addition to the main even the fight between Iivana Jalo and Viljo Laine should be a cracker.

Main Event: Heavyweight

Felipezoom Insano 27-9 (6-1 SPNY) vs Billy Danze 15-7 (1-0 SPNY)

I question if perhaps Insano now regrets calling out Light Heavyweight contender Richie McCaw to challenge for his Heavyweight crown as the smaller man caused one of the biggest upsets in SPNY history by defeatin
