KOTB 22: Gloria (Review)

Event Review: KOTB 22: Glória
King of the Beach (270k+)

For the fourth Saturday in a row, the King of the Beach promotion has broken it’s ticket revenue record. KOTB 22 would also see the first split decision in promotional title fight history, as well as record-tying fifth promotional win and knockout for another KOTB champion.

 

Opening up the main card were a pair veteran light heavyweights making their combined 18th professional and 7th promotional appearances. Bulgarian grappler Papas Kanamun basically had his way with his Canadian opponent in this one, as he took Mike Loner down and worked position for about a minute before submitting him with a seldom seen Americana. Kanamun now has a respectable 3-4 record and has won 2 of 3 after a career jeopardizing 3-fight losing streak earlier in his KOTB career.

Papas “Mucata” Kanamun (3-6, 3-4) defeats Mike “The Werewolf” Loner (2-7, 1-6) via Submission (Americana) R1 - 01:57

Out With The Old, In With The New

Editorial by Justin Credible

 While I may seem new to this game to the blind eye, I was once a respected and successful manager, I was no Avon Barksdale or Lance Templeton, hell I wasn’t even a Dana Fight, but I knew what I was doing. I recently signed up as a new manager just to see what events transpired during my absence, who was still around, what the top fight org. was, and just who was ruling the top P4P fighter list. Upon my return I felt lost, overwhelmed and brand new again. There were tons of new managers, new features, new orgs, alliances, companies, and fighters.

See when I left there were one or two (if any) elite ratings, there were just barely sensational. Now I look and see elite on a number of fighter ratings, suddenly I felt like I wasn’t even ready to try and begin again. The new features are great, I am currently running a VIP trial and I must say it is very improved and definitely makes it worth the purchase. I used to run an Org. years ago, we even got up to the #2 fight org. in Montreal (next to the incredible CFC) and back then I thought I was doing a pretty good job. Now I look and see various pay-per views, ratings above 100, sold out arenas, and payrolls thought would’ve made me cry.

The chat room used to be a popular place to

MONTREAL – A new manager is on the MMA Tycoon scene, ready to make Montreal his mistress.

Travellin' Joe Johanson says he may be new to the MMA game, but managing is in his DNA.

"I've been in more gyms than staph infection, looking for that one big meal ticket," the outspoken maverick boasts in a Tycoon Times exclusive. "Did I say, meal ticket? Scratch that and put 'champ.' I don't wanna come off lookin' like

SLAUGHTERHOUSE 9 REVIEW

 

UNDERCARD

 

Decker Dogwood v Colin Hardin Jr – 265 lbs

 

Our first bout of the evening started with an upset as 19 year old Decker Dogwood stunned onlookers with an early stoppage of the much older and more experienced Colin Hardin Jr. Dogwood came out of the gates with an aggressive approach which quickly payed dividends – after showing good sprawl technique to stuff an early takedown attempt from Hardin, Dogwood wasted no time in taking the fight into the clinch and dropped his older opponent with a quick succession of knees to the head. This win now puts Dogwood at 3-3 with all of his wins coming via knockout – the 19 year old has done well to bounce back from defeat on his Slaughterhouse debut and with this upset victory on his record he will certainly command a lot more respect from future opponents. Meanwhile Hardin will be frustrated that he couldn't break his losing streak here – the 28 year old is undeniably talented in technical terms, but he has a suspect chin and

SLAUGHTERHOUSE 10 REVIEW

 

UNDERCARD

 

Fedor Hunt v Brix Lopez – 265 lbs

 

Lopez started this bout by immediately clinching with Hunt; it looked to be going pretty well for the “Wonder Boy” as he started pounding Hunt with a variety of knees and elbows. However, Lopez's decision to pull guard backfired spectacularly – within a minute Hunt had locked in an arm triangle and was soon jumping on top of the cage to celebrate his victory. In all fairness Lopez could not have anticipated the Swedish mixed martial artist being much of a submission threat for this bout, the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue
