Ascension Sunny Side Up Preview

Event Preview: Ascension 93 - Sunny Side Up
Ascension

Author:Speedy Gonzaitev

Its that time again folks for another edition of Inside Ascenion with your host, yours truly Alexi Zaitev. Bringing you the previews and news for the best org in the Tycoonoverse. We have the season 2 winner of EPL Tyler Dignam main eventing this card against Kupke De Vries. As our co main event Sunny Disposition looks to defend his 185 crown yet again against a formidable challenger in Wade Wilson. Without further ado, let's get it on!

Opening Main card Fight
Mont Alvernne vs Dawkins
After losing his title in his last fight, Alvernne looks to rebound and get back in the title fight tonight against the all around finisher Dawkins. Both fighters have sensational boxing and muay thai, the difference between them is their ground games. Alvernne has elite wrestling and a bjj black belt against Dawkins' exceptional wrestling and a bjj brown belt which he has used to submit 9 opponents in his career. Alvernne has proven to be a grinder in the past with a majority of his victories being by decision. Alvernne has never been finished and I don't think that will change ton

Canberra Cage Fighter's First Event

Event Review: CCF #1
Canberra Cage Fighter
2012-06-03, Sydney, Paddy O'Malley's - Sydney
Attendance:218, Event Rating:37
Author:

Canberra Cage Fighter held its first event CCF #1 on Sunday night, and what it lacked in ticket sales, it made up for in quality of fights.

265+lbs – Terry Thunder v Adam Eater
The first Undercard bout was between two giants, in the 265+lbs Division, with Terry “Down Under” Thunder (1-4-0) taking on Adam “Ant” Eater (1-0-0). With Thunder’s poor form taken into account, this one wasn’t expected to last the distance, and Eater made sure of that when he lands a massive elbow from side control, then follows it up with three more before the Ref stepped in to save Thunder. 2:33 Round 1 TKO (Strikes) to Adam Eater, who will go on to fight for the Title at CanCage 3.

205lbs – Jordan Jackson v Barry McKinnon
Next up we have the Number One contenders fight for the 205lbs division, between “The Joker” Jordan Jackson and “The Hand Grenade” Barry McKinnon. Interesting fight as both these fighters, fight for Buster Boundoz, and this is the debut fight for both. But af

The Sydney Union - CCF and ZonE

Editorial by

Not many have heard of Canberra Cage Fighter (CCF), or ZonE Clothing for that matter. The reason for that, is due to the relative opening dates of both companies. But what they lack in experience, they certainly make up for in passion, and enthusiasm.

Canberra Cage Fighter already has two Events booked, with Zone sponsoring both events. The first event is a 6 bout Fight Card, with four Titles on the line, plus a "Number One" contender fight. The second event consists of a 7 bout Fight Card.

Being a start up organization is tough,Canberra Cage Fighter having only been running in Sydney for one week. ZonE Clothing for roughly the same time. The two Companies pairing up to benefit each other, and the fighters that fight for the organization can only be a good thing.

Watch out Sydney, the Canberra connection is here!!

Pegasus Cagefighting League Makes Dreams Come True

Fighter profile of Zach Didion by Chad Didion

FOLLOW UP STORY

SYDNEY- As our continued coverage of Sydney based fighter Zach Didion, we pull into the drive way at our normal 9 am time.  Something seems different.  We have gotten used to seeing 18 year old Didion out front, preparing for a long run to start his day.  Today there is nobody out front.  It's seems quiet, almost like something is wrong.  I grab my recorder, paper and pencil and head towards the front door.

Before I can reach the front step the door flies open and there, screaming, jumping with tears, appears Zach.  I almost can't understand what he says, half thinking something horrible has happened, then I pick up on what he's saying.  "Hell yeah baby!  I got it!  Finally!"  So just 1 week after we wrote about this young talent hard road to his MMA career, the dream has come to fruition.

Julian Cisneros of the Pegasus Cagefighting League has signed Zach to a 8 fight contract.  Financials of the deal are undisclosed, but speculation is that Cisneros has helped pay the way to move the fighter from Sydney to St.Petersburg were the league is located.

"If I have to move to St.Petersburg that's what I'll do, hell if I had to move to Timbuktu I would move there."  says a jubilant Didion.  The fighter already has made several phone calls to family and friends and has most of his belongings packed.  His flight leaves at noon this same day.  During this time here, trainer Jason Houston arrives.  There is a tearful good bye, filled with different emotions.

Houston leaves us with this "Hey, this kid is going to be something.  I knew it from the start, he's special.  The PCL is getting a star."  One thing about the contract

Depression and the will to WIN 2

Editorial by

Im very, very thankful to all of you for your response to my last article. Im truly touched and happy that you guys actually read the Tycoon Times. Thanks for the support and your kind words. - You know who you are...

I just wanted to follow up and say that, there are a lot of ways to combat this. Im sure you all are playing MMA Tycoon because you have some affiliation or interest in MMA or  some sort of fighting art, and this alone, this interest in an art, a fighting technique tells me you are a fighter. Thats right, YOU ARE A FIGHTER. So be strong, be strong and hold on to hope. Life is like an old watch, the one that has hands. What you see is only the face with the hour, minutes & seconds hands moving. But in reality there are wheels that are rotating behind all this.

There are things in life that happen, that we dont really understand. There are detours that happen to us that may seem odd but in the end it begins to make sense. Trust me I have seen these stories take place many times and it always, always seems to amaze me. It gives me my belief in us, in humanity.

Let me tell you a story: When I was younger the only thing that a high school grad could if they didnt get into college was to enlist. It was that or get stuck in a dog on dog gang land war that was consuming every young kid at a rate that could make F1 racers proud. A lot of my friends did. I was lucky enough to get into a good school on a wrestling scholarsh

US on Alert over Nort Korean fighter signed to Montreal Org

Editorial by Paul Huntington

In a rare move, The Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea, a country known for its reclusive nature, let one of its citizens out of the country. Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un has let the country’s best fighter Bong Ki-duk leave the country in an effort to showcase North Korea’s superiority in hand to hand combat. The North's foreign ministry spokesman released a statement about Bong Ki-duk’s history saying “Bong Ki-duk has been training since he was a baby. He is a master of all forms of martial arts, and will show the world our might by defeating all his opponents.”  Bong Ki-duk has signed with Montreal’s Dawg Pound Elite after going 2 and 1 in the QFC.

Officials from the state department have reported that North Korea is reporting his record as 3-0 with all 3 1st round knock outs in under 30 seconds. Video footage from the QFC shows Bong Ki-duk’s 1st fight was a stoppage loss due to a cut and his 2 victories came by decision. There has been up
