Company profile by Peter Puncher

Alright fight fans, It's your favorite TTFC fight reporter, Peter Puncher and today we're shaking things up. Usually, I'd be sitting here with a fighter, but, I nabbed somebody way cooler this time, if you can believe that. I am sitting next to, the man, the myth, the legend, the king of the cage, my boss, the CEO of the TTFC Mike Thomas and today we're talking Olympics.

Peter: So tell us, are you... Mike Thomas... the CEO of the greatest organization New York and more importantly the world has ever seen?
 
Mike: Ha ha ha, I wouldn't say TTFC is the greatest Organization in New York, but its the longest running Organization in New York. As for the world there are many great Organizations out there. I would just hope to be one of the top 20 in the World. 

Peter: well longest running in a place like New York is a pretty big deal, but how big of a deal is the Olympics to the TTFC?
 
Mike: I really think this is the Biggest thing TTFC has ev

Fighter profile of Kira Miyata by Alika Webb

Q: Dear martial arts fans today I will pay a visit to a rising star in the featherweight division of London's Umbrella Corporation. Kira "Gaijin" Miyata was born in Japan, but his parents came from America. Therefore the Japanese always considered him a foreigner aka gaijin. After years of bullying by local yankees which are Japanese delinquents he started training in Judo. After winning a few street fights he decided he was ready to fight professionally.

Kira you've started out your career with a 4 fight winning streak which resulted in a titl

25YO TournamentRound 3

Editorial by King Scooby

 And we are back with the tournament driven BEEF organization's 3rd round of our 25YO build VIP tournament. As the latest BEEF news has been filled with suspensions and bannings from the org as of late due to Bitchassness. Unfortunately for this round of the tournament Sean Crews suffered the unlucky fate as an injury will scratch him from competition tonight. Likewise, BEEF has just been informed that Xanadu Newton has used his inactivity clause since fighters werent willing to enter the cage with him. BEEF is still looking heavily to add more fighters to the organization of all skill levels to continue to produce strong cards, but we will stop having multiple events per week for a while to balance ourselves out.

Organization Debuts:

Nate Coleman (8-0) vs Homero Lopez (3-2)

Bruno Krause (8-0) vs Fransino Tirta (4-3)

Luda Sack: Limitless Potential

Fighter profile of Luda Sack by Andrew X

"If you're gonna be a pussy, you will be treated like one," said John Bravo, owner of Valhalla: New York, when discussing a fight offer that was turned down by Luda Sack and his mangament.

"He will sit out his contract until he's the worthless piece of shit that his manager is."

"Well," Luda Sack (3-0) replied when discussing the matter with his manager Andrew X, "guess I'm gonna have to settle for sharpening my skills for my upcoming QFC fight!"

Without hesitation, Luda Sack went on to defeat Sheldon Gellegos (0-1) in the first round via TKO in his latest fight after turning down an offer from Valhalla: New York last week for a fight he felt wasn't fair to him.

"Andrew X and I discussed this, after that I talked to my coaches and we felt the match we were offered at the time wasn't an evenly matched contest for either guy. It felt as if John Bravo doesn't care about the fighters and he complained that I turned down the fight without offering an explanation. On top of that, I have just moved to Los Angeles and now he wants me to fly to New York after I've spent time and energy to further my career. I was looking out for my best interests."

Because of this, Luda Sack is sitting out his contract, and yet, he puts zero blame on his manager.

"It was a team decision," said Andrew X, "I handled the situation the way I always do and

Devil on run - With Mr Micke

Fighter profile of Michael Stenfors by K Rad

New kid on the run or just passing by on the wind? Thats the question...

We have got a new boy to the Elite leagues, that means: MMA Fighters.

His name is : Michael "el diablo" Stenfors and he is just 19 years old. His debut match was tough and lasted the whole 3 x 5 minutes.

When asking him why he started this sport, his answer was short but strong : "Better to climb in the cage to fight instead of brawling on the street." And about his nickname he answered " My mom said  often (almost daily) to me that im a real devil. And it's like i would have rised from the hot downstairs to make things difficult to her,and burning her nerves". This he said when laughing loud.

Victory was everything else than picking strawberrys.. He got even injured during the fight, luckily not to rough. It will get better in few days by medical treatment and rest. The result was a big suprise to all of us. When he heard this last words from the anounsers mouth, I could see a tear drop at his eyes.. " Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision. Judge Radbod Blank scores the fight 28:29 Judge Nard Betker scores the fight 28:29 Judge Patrick Alders scores the fight 28:29 In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Michael Stenfors!".

His manager, Mr Micke has this to say, "I want news on this boy to be put out there, so we know he's doing it for the fans and giving a real go

Newton vs Koothrappali 3

Editorial by Pedro Fernandes

The highly anticipated bout between Christopher Newton and Rajesh Koothrappali happens today. These two men have met on two occasions before, with one of the fights ending a draw, and the other a decision victory for Newton. Both of the fights were subject to controversy in regards to the judging, and both of them earned Fight of the Night honours. In an attempt to remove all doubt on who is the better fighter, Newton will have to overcome the difficulties he faced in the first two fights, and that is facing a superior wrestler.

Rajesh has had 9 bouts in his career, 5 victories, 3 defeats and 1 draw. Coming into the first Newton fight, he was highly regarded as a brilliant
