Main Event: Touney Jack v Seppo Ilmarinen

The Main Event of the evening comprises of Touney Jack Vs Seppo Ilmarinen. Touney is based out of Los Angeles, currently training in New York in anticipation of this fight. Our analysts have review his previous fights and came to a conclusion that he holds a very solid chin which will be difficult to get through for the younger Ilmarinen. Both fighters are very tall and have big reach as a result, for Ilmarinen, who appears to be a ground based fighter, the height might not play to his advantage in this fight. Ilmarinen is going up against a fighter who has won 6 out of his last 7 fights with a knock down

Episode IV: Fireproof

 

Thursday March 4th – 1:36PM

In a poorly lit backroom of a small, two-bedroom apartment in the Showboat region of Las Vegas, a balding middle-aged man is doing what he does best; sitting in front of the television watching his shows. Tonight is Gold Rush and yeah they may be re-runs, but he watches for the same reason hundreds of thousands of folks migrated to the Klondike to begin with. The rush. Who knows where the next big goldfield was? Would the next pan reveal the huge placer deposit? And if he was being honest with himself, wasn’t part of the interest seeing the disappointment in these idiot’s f

Darsin Bleak, Making a Name

Fighter profile of Darsin Bleak by Outlaw Bleak

 Darsin Bleak, known around the gym as the Sandman, is making his presence felt in the MMA world.  An outstanding young grappler who fights with a tenacity unrivaled by his peers.  A relative unknown, having always been in the shadows of his brother Wulfgang, Bleak made a name for himself in Wolfpack Fighting Alliance.  He went 4-0 in his first 4 fights, all via submission, and 2 of which earning an of the night award.  This earned him a shot at the title, and he did not disappoint.


On November 13th, the undefeated Bleak would step into the cage with the undefeated champion who would be defending his belt for the first time since earning it with a victory over now retired Jurney Man.    After dominating the first round, completely smothering Estili, Bleak showed his class in the 2nd round.  As stoners around the world were sparking their bowls, 4:20 into the 2nd round, Bleak handed Estili his first loss and became WPFA Lightweight Champion of the world.

“Big” Steven Petitpas here on the Island for the most anticipated debut of the Island Season. Island Xtreme Fighting, in association with its merchandise partner, Island Xtreme Clothing, is proud to present IXF1 live from Paddy O’Malleys Bar. Let’s get to it!

170 lbs Greek Powaaah (0-0) v Marcus Behnder (3-0)

Headlining IXF1 is 18 year-old Greek Powaah against 25 year old Marcus “I need a Band-Aid” Behnder. We should expect Powaah to stand and exchange and he has a good height advantage to keep Behnder at bay if he chooses. Behnder is 3-0 and after some QFC warm-up’s which saw him domina

Dillon - Pt. 2

Fighter profile of Dillon Hardman by Outlaw Bleak

 When we last reported to you, Dillon Hardman was introduced as the black sheep, the outcast, the bad boy.  Twin brother of the goody two-shoes Wesley Hardman.  In their first professional fight, they fought each other in a 3 minute sparring match.   Wesley got the best of the exchange according to the judges, but we saw the granite chin that Dillon has and we may finally get to see that chin in action in the coming weeks as the LOM tournament advances along and seeding is sorted.


While Wesley has already had another fight in the cage (another decision), his brother Dillon has been hitting the gym hard.  "He's like a sponge, that one is." - Patrick Harmartia.   "He's a physical specimen, that's for sure.  He's much more quick and agile than most guys at his level.  He is much stronger than he looks.  And he uses that physique to enhance his skills." - Leon Salazar.


When speaking to his manager, J. W. Hardman, who doubles as his uncle in his o

Hello again Sucker Punch fans!  It’s been another crazy week around casa de Rumpler with work seeming to be determined to require me to actually earn a paycheck!  Damn, the nerve!  Haha.  Anyways, gonna try to run through a quick commentary and takeaways from SPPS 45 here with Donkey taking over for me while I take care of work duties and then later this evening we’ll step into a look ahead at SPPS 46 which is coming at us tonight!


With not one but two title fights included this one was crazy full of action and we had a great event rating come out of it!  As I mentioned in the preview, we’re close to moving back to the Bondi Outdoor Arena in Sydney come April, so we’ll be ramping up the numbers of those with us live in attendance to closer to 6,000 once we do that!  That’s exciting and will add even more energy into the fights!
