Career Breakdown - Michael Alvarez

Fighter profile of Michael Alvarez by Rain Thunder

Michael "Doom" Alvarez is a 20 year old Featherweight fighter, currently fighting for Ring of Violence organisation. Born to an American family in Albania, Himara, Alvarez is now a full-time MMA fighter that seeks to have thunderous perfomances in every one of his fights. His professional record consists of 6 wins and 3 losses, with 3 of those victories coming by way of KO or TKO.

As fans of MMA in general, we are witnessing the incredible comebacks of UFC fighters like Anthony Johnson or Robbie Lawler. We can also say that Alvarez is pretty much making the same amount of noise with his success at the current point of his career. He had 9 fights in RoV, and we can easily call him the veteran of this successful organisation, and the fans of RoV events also remember Alvarez for his strong chin and ability to stay standing even in the worst situations - Micheal has went through some WARS, and has never walked away from a battle. Alvarez started his career with 3 dominant wins, until he faced Mikhael Tomas, a decorated BJJ fighter that had a 4-1 record. He then lost by Submission (Kimura) in less than 2 minutes of Round 1 and this loss has shut down Alvarez's win streak. "Doom" was very unhappy with the loss - at that time, he was seen as the newly rising contender, which has the ability to become one of the most dominant champions RoV has seen.

Main Event - 265 lbs Lan Mandragoran vs John Arnie Ironz



Our Main Event showcases a battle between a pair of Elite level strikers who hold a combined 53 career (T)KO finishes and a combined 23 career KO losses.   Both combatants come into this match up following a Loss however they took place in much different timeframes.  Mandragoran lost in his debut fight with AXF 2 weeks ago against striker Varg Veide barely lasting into the second minute of the fight.   Meanwhile opposing Lan is veteran Arnie Ironz who will step into the cage for the first time in 10 months.  Mandragoran possessing a mixed offensive attack showcasing punches, kicks and lethal elbows in the clinch.  His 25 career KO's are an outstanding achievement however looking in his eyes from the opposite side of the cage is a fighter who holds 3 more with 28 throughout his career.   Ironz brings to the table a very similar skillset minus the elbows however is still strong in the clinch however slightly less accuracy but in this game accuracy is not the key, whatis key is landing the right strike at the right time and Ironz resume shows that taking place on 28 occasions which is enough to convince the combined 53 (T)KO finishes will hold up as history has proven time and time again.  Smart money is on seeing one of these fighters add one more fireworks filled KO to their resume and we could easily see KO of the night honours handed out following
