Valentin "The Hand Grenade" Taneyev

Fighter profile of Valentin Taneyev by Chris Karter

Valentin "The Hand Grenade" Taneyev moves his record to 26-11-1 with a stunning yet spectacular knockout over former top ranked LHW and SFL champion Giuseppe Hopkins. Valentin takes the rivalry 2-0 and appears to have some KO cryptonite code in his gloves that hones in and locks on Hopkins face, nuking it into the ozone.

Rumors have it that after suffering his 2nd loss to the Russian Hand Grenade, that Hopkins is contemplating a career change to 185, following in the path of one tough British cunt named Oliver Lancaster, brother of Cedric. Oliver was able to win the belt by dropping to 185. Will Hopkins be able to do the same if he commits to the weight cut?

Valentin doesn't care about either man, since they're middleweights now. He has his sights set on defending the LHW title that's been ever so elusive during his career. Taneyev is now 3-3 in SFL title shots. This is his 3rd time capturing the belt. He's yet to successfully defend it, having lost bothy title defen

Kung Fu Zombie enters FA

Fighter profile of Bong Ji Woo by Chris Karter

Bong Ji Woo enters free agency with a record of 16-2-0. Coming off an unsuccessful outing in the Olympics where he lost a close decision in an underwhelming performance, he aims to hit the big bucks on the Free Agent market. Rumors have it he's looking for at least a one million dollar signing bonus. That's ONE MILLIE, with SEVEN ZEROES behind it. If you can't afford to come correct, don't even waste the KO King's time with your chump change.

 

The reigning WCF LW champion holds a 10-1 record under their banner, and has avenged his only loss with back-to-back knockout wins over his foe Goncalvez. With 4 consecutive victories in title fights, he was lapping and leveling up on the competition. He'll without a doubt be one of the hottest prospects on the market with the WCF's collapse, with the only other prized bull likely being Heavyweight Bubba Wallace.

  The Kung Fu Zombie hails from a village outside of Suncheon and has a deadly triangle in his arsenal. He

Interview with Euan Daxton

Fighter profile of Euan Daxton by Wayne Kerr

This coming weekend “The Nicest Guy in MMA”, will headline his second main event, this time for RISE against Muay Thai specialist Mike “Hairy Hunt”.  With Daxton having recently faced a number of changes in his professional career, including a new manager and a new org, I sat down with him and asked him about the realities of the lower rungs of MMA.

 

“Euan, you are headlining a second time in only your fourth professional fight, how does that feel?”  It was as if a look of confusion crossed his face, and righted itself, like a drunk tramp trying to navigate a staircase.

“It doesn’t really matter where you are in th

Title Fight Hype-Light

Event Preview: Bellicose 88
BELLICOSE (375+)
2022-04-23, New York, Liberty Dome
Author:Outlaw Bleak

 Sonny - Let’s dig in deep on the sole title fight on the card. Murska Mfer - the reigning, defending, and unbeaten champion of the Bellicose open weight division puts his perfect record on the line versus Arthur “The Hound” Douglas. Both of these men come into each fight with the pure intention of decapitation of their opponent. Equally matched in boxing and a very close give-and-take in the Mui Thai and wrestling departments, this fight is a pick-em of heavy hitters.

Outlaw - It should be noted that Mfer wanted this fight.  He actually asked for a fight against some of the available top talent in the Heavyweight division as he's practically run through the best the Super Heavyweight has to offer.  This man has

The Sandman, Darsin Bleak

Fighter profile of Darsin Bleak by Outlaw Bleak

 Darsin Bleak has been on one hell of a journey.  Little brother to Wulfgang Bleak, he was expected to have to try and live up to his brothers name.  Little did the world know, Darsin would go on to be the looming shadow over the family name for years to come.


Growing up in a small town in Texas, Darsin didn't have a lot of things to put his energy or effort into.  He played football in high school and was a bulldozing running back that lead his team to the state championship.  His speed was insane but his he played bigger than his size.  College scouts took notice, but ultimately, he never earned a scholarship.  He also dabbled in wrestling in high school, but the program was shut down to allocat
