Event Preview: HONOR FC 2 Genesis
HONOR Fighting Championship
2014-02-08, Las Vegas, Hayashi's Lounge - Las Vegas
Author:Tony Rossi

I would like to welcome you all to Honor Fighting Championship’s Honor FC 2 Genesis. We will have two big title fights as well as eight other big fights. Meet the Future is still our event partner so they will have all of your HFC gear. Honor will host this event from the Hayashi's Lounge in down town Las Vegas. There will only be two thousand seats available so if you want to see the first ever Honor Fighting Championship Light Heavyweight and Middleweight Champions you will need to get your tickets right away.

Preliminary Bout Number 1- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)

Dave "D" Davisdon (3-5) {0-1} versus "Dangerous" Phillip Finnegan (0-1) {0-0}

Davisdon has won three fights by submission but he has lost five fights. In the five fights he has lost four of them came by way of knockout. It has been proven that his chin is a little weak so he will want to get this fight to the ground as soon as he can. Davisdon will have a major advantage on the ground so if he can get this to the ground it should be an easy victory. Finnegan is a striker and will have the advantage in the striking department. He did lose his only fight by submission in the first round so he will need to work on his takedown defense

GAMMA Gossip #43

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

I have not done any GAMMA Gossip's in a while, so i thought it was about time! Bringing to you the GAMMA Gossip is your host and owner of GAMMA, Mentor.

Quite a bit has happened since we last talked, not only in GAMMA, but on the MMA Tycoon scene. Some of the biggest news outside of GAMMA was the mergers of Immortals into NGF creating possibly the biggest ever (in terms of talent) ID restricted organization in history. The other big merger was that of Steel Penn Hilo into Heroic of London. Herioc and Steel Penn were major PPV players as it is, so this only made them stronger.

In the aftermath of that merger though GAMMA signed a couple of top ranking ex-Herioc champions. Anderson McGinley (p4p 19) and Jose Rozemblit (p4p 99) both signed up to the 265+ and 185lbs divisions respectively. Both where current Herioc champions when this happened and are arguably 2 of the biggest FA's to ever join GAMMA.

GAMMA also picked up several top ranking fighters over the past 2 months (other than those which moved from GALAXY FC), the most significant being Artem Bessmertin, Ichi Ijima, Pyry Perkele, Pops Cama, Jeff Munster, Lan Mandragoran.

A major coup for GAMMA was the merger of Galaxy FC from London into GAMMA + GAMMA contenders. Galaxy wa

Jermaine Johnson interview

Editorial by Harriet Marshall

Tony Rossi: “Hello I am Tony Rossi and I will be sitting down with Jermain "Big Nasty” Johnson today. Hello Mr. Johnson, How are we doing today?”

Big Nasty: “Yea I am great thank you and how are u today?”

Tony Rossi: “I’m doing just fine and thank you for asking. Now you have had a very impressive start to your career. Three fights, three wins with two of them being by knockout. In your first fight with Barbarian Fight Club you beat Diego Nunes by decision. You completely dominated the fight, could tell us how it felt to have your first fight in BFC, how it felt to win, and why do you think you could not get the stoppage?”

Big Nasty: “To be honest it was a very tough fight Diego is a great fighter he was 3-0 I was 2-0 so I knew it would not be easy but I feel it went well I got the w that's the main thing so I was over the moon to beat one of the best guys in the barbarian heavyweight division”

Tony Rossi: “Speaking of the Barbarian Heavyweight division your upcoming fight is against Brandon "The White Tiger" Loveladdy. He is currently undefeated but you are ranked a lot higher than him. This fight seems like you have a lot more to lose than to gain, what were you thinking when you where offered this fight? How do you feel about the current rankings in the Heavyweight division and if you win what’s next?”

Big Nasty: “Well as u all know the tournaments are comi

A sellout crowd, ten finishes, and the first ever Honor Fighting Championship champion is crowned! We had a very exciting night of fights and if you missed it I have a full recap coming at you. You should have been there live since we got to see seven knockouts and three submission wins. The first ever event held under the banner of Honor Fighting Championship was a huge success and I am sure that Mr. Monk and all the guys over at Meet the Future are very pleased. So dig in and let me take you on a fantastic voyage that this wonderful event was.

Preliminary Bout Number 1- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs.)

Randy "Speedy" Gonzales versus Andrew "Animal" Todd

Well Gonzales really lived up to his nickname in this bout as it only lasted thirty seconds. Randy grabbed onto Todd right after the bell rang and started trying to pull guard. It looked as though Todd was going to keep the fight standing, but he then decided to take Speedy to the floor. Todd landed one punch from guard as Gonzales looked to sweep. As soon as the punch landed Gonzales sprang on the loose limb and tightened down a triangle and Todd was forced to tap

 BFT - 269 Choake vs Small Review

Middleweight - The former BFT Lightweight Title Challenger and outstandingly 43 BFT Fight vet Keiji "Mach" Numa submit the former BFT Middleweight Champion and astonishingly 42 BFT fight vet Damian "Dima" Nitschke with a triangle choke with 5 seconds remaining in round 1 to get his first victory over Damian in the trilogy.
 
Nitschke started off really agressive on the feet and was looking to finish things at the distance. But Numa was on the ball and was able to dodge everything that Nitschke had. Numa then went to take things to the mat, but Nitschke was able to flip things over and get to a dominant position. From there Nitschke was able to land some successful shots. But Numa kept throwing up submissions until something stuck. Nitschke looked like he was on his way to a successful round victory. But Numa was throwing up his legs for a triangle choake, but it was pretty loose. Numa locked things in and pulled on Nitschke's head like there was no tomorrow. Nitschke was forced to tap out.
 
Light Heavyweight - The former BFC Middleweight Champion Trinidad Suarez knocked out 19-fight BFT veteran Forrest Gryphen with strikes in the last second of the second round.
 
Suarez started things off by goi
