Event Preview: GFC XII
Gladiator Fighting Championship

Author:

Gladiator Fighting Championship comes to Hard Knocks Arena on Saturday night to present GFC XII.  The fight card will be chock full of fighters looking to move up the ladder and work their way into title contention.  GFC management is hoping that the fighters will put on a show for the fans to offset the relative lack of star power on this card.  Here's a look at the fight card:
 
Starting off the action will be a light heavyweight fight between Jason Washington (5-10) and Nicolas Karkmananis (2-3).  Washington is a lay and pray specialist who saw little success in his GFC debut, suffering a knockout loss in less than a minutes.  His strategy is not very popular with the fans, but can be effective when executed properly.  Karkmananis tends to rely on brute strength to overwhelm his opponents either on the ground or in the clinch.  Like Washington, he is not an overly aggressive or active fighter but has shown glimpses of power in the past.  MMA analyst are hoping to see o

Hello and Good Evening, As I look into the crystal ball, it is obvious that Fates have brought this riotous crowd together for Destiny! Ladies and Gentlemen, Tapout or Passout is proud to bring to you ToP's 38th PPV Event! We have the Middleweight Championship on the Line here tonight! This night isn't just Destined for greatness, we are all but Guaranteed Destruction!

"Death Dealer" Paul Wainwright vs Reuben "El Patron" Hernandez

"Death Dealer" definitely lives up to his name as his 6-2 record has all six of those victories coming via Knock-Out! Wainwright brings a very well-rounded game, but prefers to stay standing and "Deal" some executioner-like boxing prowess! "El Patron" certainly brings the "gloves" to stand and trade with his oppoenent! Each of Hernandez's wins have come via Knock-out as well, so we can most likely expect a slugfest tonight! The Bell Rings! Wainwright presses forward and takes a shot to the eye socket! Wainwright lands

Dragon"s Den - fund for newer managers!

Editorial by Matt Cave

 Welcome to the launch of my new Dragon’s Den fund for new, aspiring MMA Tycoon managers! This is a new venture that I am going to be running where newer VIP managers will be able to make a pitch to me to receive funding for their goals and aspirations.
The fund currently stands at $2.5m of my own Tycoon cash, and there will be no restriction placed on the size of any individual amount given to a manager. What will be vital, however, in keeping with the style of the Dragons’ Den TV programme is that the person applying for the money will need to justify what the cash will actually be used for.

To help, below are some FAQ that I would anticipate being asked in due course...

So how do I apply? Well it could hardly be any easier really – all you need to do is PM me with their pitch, which can be as long or short as they like, and tell me why you nee

GAMMA Gossip Edition#5

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

Howdy partners! We’re back with GAMMA Gossip, your favorite MMA show. I’m AC Jimbo and I’ll be leading us through the latest goings on from GAMMA HQ, reviewing our most recent events and checking out what we can look forward to at the next two fight nights.

Let’s begin by taking a look at GAMMA 281 and 282.

Beginning with GAMMA 281, we previewed what was expected to be the two showpiece fights at the time of going to air. However, a late decision was made to switch the co-main event. In the end, the Sinatra versus Sinclair fight was bumped down to the under-card, and turned out to be a more interesting fight than I had predicted it would be, but still failed to separate the two inside the three rounds, whereupon Frank Sinatra had his hand raised.

I told you before how excited I was about the

NGF 36 Review

UNDER CARD

Welterweight Fight

#28 Thomas Dos Santos (2-7 NGF) v #23 Michael Lescott (6-5, 2-2 NGF)

I’m really starting to feel bad for Thomas Dos Santos.  He is a hard worker, very hard worker.  He fought some really hard fights at bantamweight, even taking some hard fights to a decision, but he always seems to come out with the short end.  Dos Santos dominated this fight, round 1 and 2 were all his, he did all sorts of damage and controlled this fight in the clinch.  The problem came with conditioning; it looked like Dos Santos was gassed to start the 3rd round.  It was an early combination by Michael Lescott that cut Dos Santos, the fight turned from there.  3:23 Lescott was able to lock in a Kimura and game Dos Santos his 7th loss in th

Light Heavyweight Title Fight

#4 Dmitry Boitsoff (10-4, 2-2 NGF) v #1 Jack Poldi (10-3, 5-0 NGF)

Jack Poldi, NGF’s FOTY will put his light heavyweight belt on the line against Dmitry Boitsoff.  Dmitry Boitsoff will take his bjj black belt and try and submit Jack Poldi.  These two met once before back at NGF 24 with Poldi beating him senseless and getting a stoppage due to cuts in the 2nd round.  Boitsoff, one of the most predictable, boring fighters in the NGF.  One thing you can count on is this WONT be a FOTN.  Boitsoff will throw zero to 1 strike standing up, then spend every ounce of is being trying to get takedowns.  Once there, it will be submission after submission until he locks one up, it doesn’t matter, on top or bottom, his bjj skills are the best in the NGF.  Jack Poldi will look to defend his title for the 4th time in this one.  He is a stand up fighter who can hold his own if it gets to the ground.  In fact in his last dominating win against Martyn Musgrave, he won the stand up, clinch and ground game, attempting 9 submissions in the win also.  This should be a great matchup, I don’

Undercard

1. Rambo vs Neon - 265lbs

Both fighters coming in from debut losses. Even striking skills but Rambo might having the edge in MT skills. Neon has some size advantage. Who will get his career up and running, who will continue to struggle?

2. Animai vs Diggs - 205lbs

Again two fighters in real need of a victory. Classic boxer-MT setup here and it really feels like a cointoss.

3. Nelson vs Ritz - 265lbs

Roy Nelson making his debut here is a heavyhanded boxer but he is facing stiff opposition here. Ritz is a skilled boxer too and this i

GFC XI started with a bang, with the first two fights lasting a total of ten seconds combined.  Only two of the fights on the card went the distance and it is very apparent that the fighter of GFC are hell bent on finishing their fights and entertaining the fans.  Hard Knocks Arena was rocking and the fans were on their feet throughout the night of exciting fights.  Here's a breakdown of the action.
 
The first fight was short and sweet as Dingle Berrian (20-7) picked up his 20th career win over Bruce Leroy (5-4).  At the opening bell Berrian drilled Leroy with a brutal combination that cut him and dropped him to the ground.  Berrian allowed the rocked Leroy to get back to his feet only to hammer him with a second deadly combination that knocked him out cold.  As the doctors tended to Leroy, Berrian strutted around the cage exhausting in his win.  Berrian's five second knockout will go down in the record books as the fastest knockout in GFC history.

Kiba Hyuga vs Roberto "Dropping The Big" Klinkhammer

Hyuga has been creeping his way into contender status in the ToP ranks! With a 6-2 record and a winner of three of his last four fights, Hyuga hopes to take another step forward tonight. Hyuga likes to use his crisp boxing and elite wrestling to grind out decision victories with his excellent gameplans. Klinkhammer is hoping to get back on track after the far too fresh memory of a decision loss to Tommy James. Klinkhammer brings a similar skillset of top tier Boxing and some delicious Ground and Pound so we will have to see who can grind this win out! The Bell Rings!!! Klinkhammer advances for and bobs, weaves
