Django "Unchained" Diggs

Fighter profile of Devario Koleman by Chris Karter

DjangoDiggs First-born son of MMA legend&Miami native One Bad Man" Moses Diggs When he was 8 years old his father won the Blitz Rio LHW World Championship with a right hook heard around the world.  From that moment on young Django wanted to be just like his daddy. He immediately began knocking out his class mates in school.  Expelled from kindergarten, Django had no other choice but to enter the world of human cock fighting.

  When he should of been in highschool, he was fighting in backyard mandingo fights for cash, ass, and grass.
 After Django knocked up some brown sugar at the age of 14 his dad forced him into Convicted Fight Club and back into school.
 At the age of 18 he was making his professional MMA debut.  Even though he's 6-0 with 5 KO's as a professional fighter his resume isn't impressive despite his exciting highlight reel finishes.
 In his most recent fights Al Drake played the role of Bob Sapp in back-to-back beatdowns and his other fights represented Kimbo Slice-like matchups.

Django Diggs is certainly a prospect to watch in the future and there's no denying his boom or bust potential.
 Only time will tell if Django can achieve the same success as his father,
but with legends like Bas Rutten, Fidel Puno, and Eddie Bravo in his corner, with the Don King-esque management of Chris Karter, he'll undoubtedly be a MM

Barney Gumble vs Pedro Lazaro

Event Review: WC 23: Welcome 2 the Big Show
Executioner FC

Attendance:4,942, Event Rating:371
Author:Heri Doank

Both fighters came from isolated Island, have Muay Thai as primary discipline, same wins and losses record (19-3-0) and had beaten each other once when they’re on Island. But Gumble  has advantage on boxing and wrestling, and he always wins by (T)KOs. Lazaro lost his title to Gumble and he wanted to reclaim it. The fight was planned for 5 rounds and 5 minutes for each round.

Within a minute of the 1st round, it’s looked like Lazaro had been more aggressive and he had made some points, but after he clinched and entering  3 minutes Gumble was the one who more active to land his punches. Gumble won this round by 30-27.

2nd was very terrible because there were not many actions from both fighters and Lazaro tried to clinch often than landing some punches. Gumble landed more punches and all judges gave him 10-9.

Fighter profile of Tony Brown by Dale Saw

Tony Brown was The UPF's first Middleweight Champion and the most dominating.

Hi MMA world here is Victorio and I am bringing the review of HMFL last event - 3th revolution. This was a great event as I expected folks. Only two fights went to Cecil Peoples in sold out Hard Knocks arena. That was a fan-pleasing event I‘ve to say! Right now let‘s take a look at the review of the fights!
 
LW bout: Carlos Meira vs Jon Melcher
 
Meira was on beast mode man! He clinched Melcher right after the bell and started cutting Melcher with elbow strikes. Meira then got a takedown but got stood up by the ref and Meira resumed his MT disaster. He clinched and he kept the pace on, smashing and cutting Melcher with knees and elbows. After three minute mark of the fight, Meira hurt Melcher with a huge knee to the head! Melcher still hanging on but shortly after Meira hurt him with knees again! Melcher just covering up and ref had to stop the fight. That‘s a MT clinic folks!
 
Result: Meira def. Melcher via TKO at 3:28 of round 1
 
HW bout: Master Wong vs Piotr Smietana
 
Wong showed off his slick ground work and brutal GnP in this one. Wong got a nice takedown early but Smietana swept him with no effort. Smietana held the top position for roughly one and a half minute and Wong hooked his legs and got the back! That‘s one crafty move man. Wong

Riley Gracie Vs. Clint Hester
Mike Graves Vs. Phillip Cole
Tyrion Shanahan Vs. Felipe Senna
Mustafiq Rana Vs. Kashmire Gates

Lets take a quick look at these fights.

First fight on the undercard, starting off the night, Riley Gracie Vs. Clint Hester. Here we see a untested Clint Hester, making his debut against a 19 yr old black belt! That's right guys Riley Gracie is only 19 and he has already earned his black belt in BJJ.

Prediction: Gracie via submission early in round one.

Second fight has two fighters making their debuts. Mike Graves skill set has a little of everything. But, most would argue that his skills in wrestling and BJJ are his finest. While Phillip Cole is a strict wrestler.

Prediction: Graves via submission late in round two.

Blade Runner def. Ronny Fosse - Submission (strikes)

In the main event Blade Runner defeated Ronny Fosse in the first round via submission strikes! Ronny wasn't happy with the ref standup and I have to say I think it was wrong too. If the ref haven't stood them up who knows how this could've ended. This is the 3rd title defense for Blade Runner and he's getting close to the hall of fame!

Colt McLaren def. Ron Burgundy  - Decision (unanimous)

Colt took the first 2 rounds, we wasn't as dominant as I thought, but he did his job and kept scoring. Burgundy started to come back at the 3rd round, he avoided the majority of Colt's ground strikes and gave him some back. I think if this fight was 5 rounds who knows what could've happened.

Dan Stiglitz def. Feivish Hershel - TKO (strikes)

What a fight! Hershel came out strong in the first round, after getting t
