KOTB 20: Combate (Preview)

Event Preview: KOTB 20: Combate
King of the Beach (270k+)
2015-12-05, Rio de Janeiro, Hayashi's Lounge - Rio
Author:

The King of the Beach promotion is proud to be putting on their 25th official fight card on Saturday night – and what a card it is. We’ve got title fights at middleweight and light heavyweight to top off a card that’ll see five former title challengers compete, as well as some highly touted newcomers.

 

Nameless "G O A T" Fighter (8-0, 0-0) v Vasile "Ruina" Carlova (3-2, 0-0)

Opening the main card will be former New Blood FC featherweight champion Nameless Fighter. The undefeated Las Vegas sprawl-and-brawler will be making his first appearance outside of his hometown, as he takes on Romania’s Vasila Carlova. The muay thai specialist, conversely, will be making his first appearance outside of the Island after compiling a respectable 2-1 record at Solitude. Both fighters seemed to be pretty evenly matched grappling-wise, but Carlova tends to use his in a more offensive sens

GAMMA Gosspip #50 November Review

Global Association of MMA, Fight Organization, London
Company profile by Mentor Guru Corleone

GAMMA' had another very solid month, we increased our total fighters base in the top 1000 to 88 (which is 18 fighters more than second placed CEC! 8 of those fighters are in our affiliate organizations at the moment). We also increased our total fighters in the top 200 p4p to 21 which is our own personal record. It is a grinding process to the top, but despite the constant animosity and disrespect among some of the competition, our rise is a stable procedure at the moment. 

145lbs title picture.

Fernando Prado defended his title against Karate Kid during the past month in yet another decision win. A potential rematch with Nylerhotep Constantine is highly unlikely at the moment due to Nyler's poor form since winning the 155lbs title. He went 1-3 since that win a few months ago. Fernando will go up against Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in December. Abu is on some good form himself after beating ex-Champs Meat Beater and Ein Stein in 2 close split decisions. Steffan Stove, Jack Burton and Yuya Shimizu are 3 major signings for GAMMA at 145lbs over the past month which should add to the drama we have in the division.

"The Anger" Has Taken Frankie Drake Places

Fighter profile of Frankie Drake by Abe Eaton

Frankie "The Anger" Drake (224085), 16-2 finds himself facing a rematch for the Death Squad Lightweight (155lb) World Title on December 20th at the Parisian at Las Vegas during Deathsquad 264 (848227).  Currently ranked 14th in the world in his weight class and among the top 100 pound-for-pound fighters, Drake has been a shooting star with staying power.  Drake is coming off of a solid win for his sixth title fight and fifth title defense, a nice triangle armbar against a former multiple time champion and seasoned veteran.

 

At 28, Drake is no stranger to the fight game.  It all began in Tavistock, England, where Frankie was a well-known bare knuckle boxer and submission grappler.  He competed in regional fights and quickly demonstrated an acumen for submission grappling and became a surprising sleeper striker, knocking out fighters on the ground and feet.  He can stand toe to toe with top notch strikers, but its a game he plays on the edge, knowing the nex

Slaughterhouse Fight Night 1 Review

Slaughterhouse FC, Fight Organization, Las Vegas
Company profile by Donald Canmore

UNDERCARD

Juan Manuel Miguel Angel Chavez Sanchez Doritos De La Cruz v Citrio Pavo – 155 lbs

 

True to form, De La Cruz came out of the gates with guns blazing. He rocked the debutant with a series of vicious punches to the head and landed effectively with some kicks. However, as predicted, Pavo eventually managed to take the Mexican to the ground with a single leg takedown as we approached the two minute mark. De La Cruz managed

SLAUGHTERHOUSE 9 PREVIEW

 

UNDERCARD

 

Decker Dogwood v Colin Hardin Jr – 265 lbs

 

Dogwood comes into this fight seeking to rebound following a loss against the much vaunted wrestler RP McMurphy while Hardin is looking to chalk up his first win in Slaughterhouse after defeat on his debut. Dogwood is a pure standup striker who predominantly relies on his punching power to win bouts with the occasional kick thrown in for good measure; Hardin is a versatile mixed martial artist and is equally adept at fighting on his feet as he is on the ground.

There is substantial age difference between these two – Dogwood is a very promising prospect but is still only 19, Hardin might not possess the most flattering record but at the age of 28 has a considerable amount of experience on his opponent. Hardin will come into this fight as a favourite – he is more than capable of winning this bout both standing up and on the

USFC 83 preview by Victorio Faber

Event Preview: USFC 83
United States Fighting Championship
2015-12-05, New York, Liberty Dome
Author:Mister Victorio

 

Hello what up MMA world here is Victorio and I am bringing a badass preview for USFC's upcoming event - USFC 83! The event is taking place in Liberty Dome, New York on 5th December. Just a few days to go guys! There will not have any title fights on the line but I am sure this event is going to bring the MMA community heat as USFC always does. So...let's take a look at the preview to warm yourself up!


 
MW bout: Borg Cloud "Number 9" (3-3, 2-3 in USFC) vs Conor "The Terrible" Vankill (0-1, 0-1 in USFC)
 
To kick off this event, there will have 5 MW battles in a row and this is the first one. Two MW fighters from the lower tier are going to gain some attentions. The red corner is Borg Cloud who is a boxer and a BJJ brown belt, also he puts his nickname behind his name, that's the first time I've seen that. He used to be riding a two fight win streak in USFC but dropped three in a row. He has good boxing but his main plan is to take down and submit. Anyway, his fragile defensive grappling and the inability against strikers is something letting him

RFC 10

Event Preview: Rehab 10: Wakahisa Vs Cortez
DCF
2015-11-25, Amsterdam, Wild Bob's Bar - Amsterdam
Author:Kris Hughes

EVENT REVIEW – MAIN CARD

With a selection of RFCs big guns on display, RFC 10 – Wakahisa v Cortez was the most anticipated event in the organizations short history. With the inaugural title tournaments just around the corner, a loss tonight could well send the losing fighter tumbling down the rankings and out of the tournament, so there was a lot on the line. With that in mind, you could have forgiven the fighters if they played it safe just to get the W but as we’ve come to expect from RFC fighters, fighting for decisions just aint what they do. Here’s how the night went down.

 

FIGHT 1 - 185LB – DIESEL ARMSTRONG (3-1-0) V JAXON JEFFRIES (2-1-0)

Both these guys were hovering just outside of the top eight 185lbers so a win for either guy should put them in a spot to be selected for the 185lb tourney. Jeffries was making his RFC debut after 2 impressive 1st round KO’s in QFC and was pretty confident he would do the same to Armstro
