Charles Crawley Q&A

Fighter profile of Charles Crawley by Alika Webb

Q: Dear martial arts fans today I will pay another visit to the first and current Highland Challengers light heavyweight champion, Charles Crawley. Charles, last time you were here you said you got caught by surprise by your last opponent and that you would have a surprise of your own for your next opponent. You did manage to beat Antero Teeri in a pretty convincing fashion but technically you didn't really show us anything we weren't expecting from you. Are there still some tricks you're hiding up your sleeve or were you just blowing smoke to confuse your opponent?

 

 

Charles: That's for me to know and you to find out. If you're curious just make sure you watch my next fight and all could be revealed.

 

 

Q: Do you know when your next fight will be?

Just want to thank everyone for being apart of this event if anyone wants to be on the October 25 card let me know Is love to have you guys on that card.

Akira 39-28 vs Burns 7-3
Akira coming in after pulling off upset submission win over top Japanese 135er Itchy Ichi he plans to do the same to Burns. Burns a elite grappler is looking to climb to the top with a win over the whiley Vet Akira.

Prediction-Burns

Fossmo 24-12 vs Shinoki 26-9

Fossmo s original opponent never sign the agreement so both steped up to face each other on short notice. It is a close match up skill wise but it also is a openweight match with Fossmo being the bigger of the two by a large amount. Can the smaller man triumph over the odds or will it be to much?

Prediction-Fossmo

Coxall 5-2 vs Sheehan Jr 21-12

Probly the most even an exciting much up of two 135ers in a long time the only real difference

The fight just became more exciting: Last Man Standing

Last Man Standing based in Las Vegas isn’t any ordinary fighting organisation but one that has a heavy emphasis on entertainment. Instead of fight night bonuses the company pay out a bonus to those who were most entertaining selling their fight or in the lead up to fight night. The rankings system isn’t based off wins but those who have been a showman and given 110% to fans outside the cage as well as inside.

 “The Little Ginger Prince” Chris Karter (1-1, 0-0) vs. Eduardo "Pelé" Dias (1-0. 0-0)

Kicking off the main card will be a pair of debuting KOTB fighters, both intending to make a splash in the wide-open featherweight division. A native Floridian fighting out of New York, Karter will be looking to use his heavy, accurate hands to counter the kicking game of Belo Horizonte’s Dias, who comes from a soccer background. The ground game appears to be pretty even, but Karter may be able to mix in some takedowns, so we’ll see what kind of game plan he comes in with.

Lane “Heman” Herman (3-0, 0-0) v Jean “Mayhem” Ben Faur (0-1, 0-0)

Next up, we have another pair of debuting fighters, this time from KOTB’s increasingly deepening SHW division. Undefeated Russian Lane Herman will look to continue his streak of submissions against P

Charles "The Hammer" Martel  
When there is a forum thread set up about a fight and there is smacktalk going on, you can bet your house on it that I will have noticed it. 

Leroy Morris issued a challenge to the legendary Martel and got the answer he wanted. Martel doesn't duck fights and accepted the challlenge right away. 

As if Martel isn't a legend already, his manager has set up the goal of reaching 100 pro fights with him. In EPL, Martel suffered a not so great losing streak, but it must be said that he was clearly the smaller man in most of those fights

and it's not easy to deal with those heavier fighters. When he returned to Syn , still as their 135lbs champion, he embraced the challenge of Morris and a date was set up.   On the 30th of July 2015, the cage door closed once again behind Martel and he looked Morris in the eyes. What followed was a strong display by the challenger, but as the fight progressed, 

Martel became stronger and stronger and it looked as if his experience was playing to his advan

Insanity 95
Plexico vs Alzate
PREVIEW
 

After a very successful Mad Cash Tournament Finale, with a sold out crowd of 14,000, we've got a big tournament in the books. After months of preparation and execution, we've finally concluded a tournament with an insane amount of prizes (courtesy of Insanity and its sponsors). Well done Insanity! 
 
With that, we move on to our next event, Insanity 95: Plexico v Alzate on August 8 2015 in Madison Garden Area, New York. We expect a sold out crowd (20,000) as we look at a double title headline featuring the lightweight and heavyweight title matches. The fight card is composed mostly of lightweights trying to climb up to the title. We've got a great card in this one so let's get to business.

170 lbs Main Event: Quin Kenobi vs EA Poe 

 

Number 3 ranked Havoc welterweight Quin "Jedi" Kenobi (11-8) is coming off split decision against Jambo Jambo. Kenobi has had a storied career going up against some of the best around the world and with another win he could be considered the next contender at 170. He prefers to fight on the ground and he likely get this main event down there, as his wrestling at time can be a thing for beauty. With maybe not the best Havoc record

Dickie "The Dirt" Dirty

 

Well Marky, I guess that I didn't make you look like a fool at all right ?!  You were the only on the Tycoon podcast that believed in me and not many other managers believed in me either. It is very satisfying to win the tournament and do it in style. 

 

I dominated the fight standing and never was in any trouble at all on the ground against Gracie and I even took him down to prove a point. I am very proud of what I achieved in this tournament as I took out some big guns and showed that I can do a great job against high level managers/fighters.

The big cash has already arrived and the VIP days as well. I'm very glad to hear that  a custom trophy will follow and that I will be inducted in the Insanity HOF . That is a huge honor and I will wear the HOF badge with a lot of pride. HOpefully I will get KO of the tournament as well for my epic superman punch KO of Lodbrok!

 

I will be an unsigned fighter soon a

Bantamweight Bonanza, Friday July 17th @ The Underground, Sydney

Pre Fight Build up
Following months of 135lbs division action at Vanquish we are now finally closing in on the time when we can finally name a Bantamweight Champion. Over the previous couple of months bantamweights have been battling for domination in this new division. 
However, finally following the Bantamweight Battle two weeks ago we were able to identify the organisation top 135lbs fighters.

This process was based upon a mixture of recent results and overall hype and popularity. The criteria was that all fighters who qualified for the final eight must have won at least one fight on a Vanquish card and possess a hype rating worthy of the competition.

The only fighter with the required hype who didn’t make the cut was Yoshi Twister as he had failed to win during a VCC event.
The draw was then made with the #1 ranked fighter taking on the #8 rank, #2 vs #7, #3 vs
