Mike Tycoon gushes over HFC Bantamweight Champion

Fighter profile of Danny Cruz by Chris Karter

Mike Tycoon is a big fan of Danny Cruz’s fighting style.

  One of the most creative strikers in the Bantamweight division, HFC's Danny Cruz is responsible for plenty of highlight reel finishes such as his roundhouse kick knockout of Zafir Farman, and his buzzer-beater Superman punch knockout of Julian Bashir.
  Cruz (8-0 MMA, 7 KO, 1 Sub) scored a highlight reel finish with a Superman Punch when he knocked out Julian Bashir to defend the HFC bantamweight title back at HFC 76. In a recent episode of “The Mike Tycoon Experience,” after Mike Tycoon was done wallowing about the woes of his life during a pity party, the popular MMA commissioner was in awe speaking of some of “Showtime’s” career highlights.  
“Have you seen Danny Cruz fight? Danny Cruz is one of the wildest motherf*ckers that’s ever fought in MMA,” Mike Tycoon said. “Danny has some of the craziest kicks. He’s got this taekwondo background, but he does all this wild sh*t. He hit Z

Fighter profile of Ernesto Mathieu by Chris Karter

CAPTAIN CANNABIS STRIKES AGAIN!

 

Ernesto Mathieu (12-2-0 MMA) is an undefeated Dutch kickboxer (2-0-0 KT) that isn't afraid to go down in a blaze of glory. He pounces like a tiger, barks like a pitbull, and smokes like a chimney. Made a name for himself on the regional MMA scene with an array of violent 1st round finishes and brash post-fight antics that his degenerate management team encouraged. He's currently coming off a huge victory that will surely get him into title contention soon in the World Vale Tudo organization.

 

"Mathieu is really turning it up, unleashing another crisp combination which drops Motts like a ton of bricks! The referee dives in to stop the fight, saving Motts from another fist facial! Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:46 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Ernesto Mathieu!"

 

The main event of WVT 104 saw the surge of the Dutch Heavyweight fighter continue as he battered Gregory Motts enroute to

GAMMA: Joe River (13987) HOF Induction

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

 I am proud to announce Joe River (13987) in the GAMMA Hall of Fame! 

  Joe is one of those old school MMA Tycoon Managers back from the old day. Joe participated in some of the earlier events but was partially (or totally) inactive for a a time. In the past 2 years however he came back with some impressive results, competing (and winning) several GAMMA titles. 
  Upon retirement, Joe is ranked #27 among all GAMMA managers. He was the highest ranked manager who was not in our Hall of Fame, so he clearly deserved this.  
His all time GAMMA record is 67-51-4, which is a solid near 55% win ratio in GAMMA. He has been involved in a total of 11 title fights so far. 
  But all in all, what separates Joe is consistency. I never got a fight rejection from him ever (that 122 approved fights), in fact he always replies to each fight offer with "Thanks"! Obviously he did not get into our HOF because of that, he got in due to his results, but just the fact that t

The Sniper Has Title Belt In His Sights

Fighter profile of Marko Jankovic by Chris Karter

THE SNIPER HAS TITLE BELT IN HIS SIGHTS

 

Marko "The Sniper" Jankovic (15-3-0 MMA) is a Georgian MMA fighter known for his blistering strikes and deadly precision. As a suspected hitman and narco-terrorist for the Red Devil Cartel, controversy has clouded his entire career, but that hasn't stopped him from knocking bitches out. The product of Convicted Top Team has elite boxing and elite muay thai, and relies on his staunch takedown defense to keep the fight from hitting the mats.

 

Despite being a questionable purple belt in BJJ, he clearly prefers to keep the fights on the feet and exchange in striking bouts. In 2 out of 3 of his losses, he was taken down at least 5 times by the opponent, and spent the majority of the fight adapting a defensive guard from the bottom of the ground, dropping a unaminous decision to both opponents.

 

He's only been stopped one time in his entire career, and that was against the rival dark elf Drizzt

 Bringing you highlights and news from Combate's recent events...


  "EL CAZAOR" WINS BY KO | OCHOA MAKES MEXICO PROUD | WILL TANEYEV BOUNCE BACK?   Anthony "El Cazador" Ochoa (23-10-0) proves the first flight no fluke as he retains the light heavyweight championship by defeating Valentin "The Hand Grenade" Taneyev (34-17-1) by way of knockout, as the fight ended with a flurry of punches 40 seconds into the 4th round.   Ochoa entered the first fight a heavy underdog but the odds had shifted somewhat in the middle before the rematch. He'd prove that he didn't get lucky by defeating Ochoa again, this time in dominant fashion, looking too fast and too furious for the "The Hand Grenade".   Ochoa is expected to defend his crown against future Combate Hall of Famer Mohammed Kahn or ENIGMA Light Heavyweight champion Zeke Titus.   After a dominating reign as the Combate Light Heavyweight champion, Taneyev is coming off his 11th career knockout loss

"I've Seen Kahn Almost Decapitate Guys"

"I've Seen Kahn Almost Decapitate Guys" - Bob Chong

Combate 198 is a banger of a card headlined by Anthony Ochoa verse Mohammed Kahn for the illusive and lucrative Light Heavyweight title. The bad motherf—ers keep coming down the rest of the main card: fans will also get to witness Barack Obaminator against Brazilian legend Edison Atunes. Both bouts should be violent.

Perhaps a little too violent, according to Bob Chong.

Chong knows more than most about success at two different weight classes. He dominated at light heavyweight for years before grabbing the heavyweight title and joining the small cadre of CFC champ-champs. During the latest episode of his Bob Chong & Friendz show, he had some words of warning for Ochoa as he prepares to face Kahn’s power at 205 pounds.

“We have seen Larry Williams hurt Anthony Ochoa in numerous fights,” Chong said. “He can’t get hit by Mohammed Kahn. Kahn hits so hard, bro. I hav
