EVENT REVIEW

 

Following on from the fledgling organizations most successful card to date, RFC 7 gave us a bit of everything you could expect from a night of MMA action.

Devastating (T)KO’s, a slick submission, a slugfest and that most dreaded of all, a snoozefest. Still, one bad fight out of ten aint too bad. Here’s how the night went down.

 

Fight 1 – Alun Warburton (0-1-0) vs Mark Levy (1-0-0)

185lb

Two youngsters making their MMA debuts got the nights action underway. There was a little controversy before the fight as 16 year old Welsh kid, Alun Warburton failed to make the 185lb limit by 20lbs! the fight only went ahead after Polish sensation, Mark Levy agreed to take half of Warburtons purse in order for the fight to go ahead. Seemingly quite nonchalant about missing weight so badly, you got the impression Warburton maybe hadn’t taken his debut seriously enough

 

Supremely confident going into the fight, Levy taught Warburton a harsh lesson about not preparing properly for a fight. At the opening bell, Warburton walked straight into a Levy jab which he followed up with an overhand right which could be heard from the back of the arena. After sending Warburton crashing to the floor, Levy motioned him back to his feet. Still clearly wobbled, Warburton stood back up but seemed oblivious to the fact that Levy was winding up an uppercut that took him clean off of his feet when it connected. After only thirteen seconds, Warburton had been dealt a lesson he will not forget

The Bad Boys of MMA Are Banding Together

Rio Chain Gang 270+, Fight Organization, Rio de Janeiro
Company profile by Alan Maynard

The face of MMA is changing in Rio de Janeiro with the opening of a brand new fight org, Rio Chain Gang. The Rio Chain Gang bunch are not only known for their expertise in the cage but also for their anitsocial behavior. This reporter is concerned for the good citizens of Rio with all the ex-convicts and general scoundrels coming into our fair city. How our city officials can allow this to happen escapes me.

Mayor Eduardo Paes declined to be interviewed for this article, but his office did release the following statement: "The city welcomes Rio Chain Gang with open arms. Citizens need not be worried by the false claims made by the

SLAUGHTERHOUSE 7 PREVIEW

 

UNDERCARD

 

Ryan Genningsunit v Dominick Snooze – 135 lbs

 

Two wrestlers making their Slaughterhouse debut in this bantamweight matchup. Not too much is known about either fighter making this a hard one to predict. Genningsunit hails from New York and has made two career appearances so far, one win and one loss; Snooze is a Californian with an MMA record of one prior appearance – a submission win via kneebar. Both fighters are 25 years of age. The lack of tape to work with is a mixed blessing for both fighters; neither will know what to predict from the other and the winner of this bout may well be determined by who has the higher fight IQ and the ability to adapt as the matchup unfolds. The victor? Who knows, but if I had to pick between the two I would give Genningunit a small ed
