EPL is back – Season is going strong, with awesome nights of fighting! And with Event Five, we just get started!



Grayson “The American” Pierce found himself in a bad spot, with his back against the wall he MUST win, in order to secure his job in VF. His last opponent – Gus Solonik, who will make his MMA debut. We don’t know much about him, besides of fact that he is outstanding boxer, with some wrestling background – but his wrestling is nowhere near to Grayson’s level. It may be chance, if Grayson can keep him down and just beat him up there. If not…well, it will be short night that he won’t even remember.



 EPL Event Two had one more draw. Draw, that wasn’t expected to happen – Tommy McTowlie fought Yamamoto Takiyama to Majority Draw, and now they are set to fight once again, in a classic rematch of two Welterweight stars. Both skilled,  both dangerous and both with their eyes on that one letter on their record – W. They want to go on, fight better guys and make it closer to Welterweight title fight. It’s gonna be ultra-competitive and close, as first fight – but this time, they will be much more determine to finish this fight



 First time in long time, VF Bantamweight Title will be around someone’s waist. Grigori Dragunovich Li decided to drop down, left 145 division to fight on his natural weight class of 135 lbs. Lars Hegg will face him in Bantamweight title fight for vacant belt, and this Sweden boxer will look to add one more win to his record, and put Vicious Fights belt around his waist. Grigori isn’t stranger to great fights, he’s riding four fights winning streak with 3 submission, so he is definition of a “Finisher” type fighter. Lars is no different – as his 4 wins came by way of submission or KO. Expect fireworks, and get ready to crown new champion



Syezd Kepe Eses finally found his first win of this season, when he TKOed Poncho Villa. Spectacular finish gave him confidence boost that he needs, because now he is set to fight High Voltage, who finally won a fight after two draw in a row. Both are premiere strikers, and you can expect them do everything they can to knock each other senseless – EPL saw a lot of amazing KOs, and this time it may be no different. Don’t blink, don’t go for a drink. Because this one will end in split second mistake of one of them. It’s gonna be explosive and amazing!



Johnny Ives and Poncho Villa aren’t really on a roll as of late. They fought eight times combined – but combined they have only one win. It may be do or die, because we are going on and on with the season, sooner or later what happened thus far will count, and it may ruin their plans to win EPL. Both proved themselves as devastating knockouts artists, but just can’t find their range and their power. It’s best time to find it, or go home with one another loss. They need to focus now, because that fight may be one of the most important fight in this season.



Cookie Monster has a problem. Big, big problem – he can’t enter EPLs cage healthy, and he always walks out more beat up than before. Tyler Dignam will try to take this opportunity and score three nice points, to add them to his account, as he isn’t high ranked yet. He still wants to be in Top 6, and with opportunity like that, New York elite striker is once again in a hunt for that spot. Cookie will do his best, it’s who he is – Warrior. He never gives up, and he always fights to win, no matter what.



Jake Ryan is yet to be defeated in EPL, as he scored 2 wins and 2 draws in his first 4 fights, Nigel York is in different situation, as he lost twice already and he needs points if he thinks seriously about advancing to next round. Hard hitting battle between “Getleman” and “Every Women’s Wet Dream” will separate someone from his senses and put one of them in a hunt for Top 6. Really wars are still to come, as with every show guys will be more determined to win. Get ready for 10 minutes of intense action.



Viljo Laine shocked the world, when he scored 3 win in a row against three of top guys in this season, including Season 3 winner Colton Trayne. Even if he was outwrestled by Charlie McGregor in his last fight, he still holds pretty good record in this season – with 3 wins and 1 loss. Now, he will take on freak-nature terminator, who still is looking for his old attitude – James Bomb.  He came back from loss and 2 draws to TKO Cookie Monster – time to find out if it was luck…or is that return of Season 3 Destroyer. No matter what, you don’t want to miss that one



Randy Ortiz came back to EPL and had to face Colton Trayne first. Picking up Holyshit’s record, and adding one more loss to it, didn’t help him get closer to win this thing, but victory over gamed Charlie McGregor will definitely mark the return of “Natural Punisher”. Charlie is looking forward to this fight as well, as he lost to Ortiz twice in last season and in this one – he is still undefeated with 3 wins and 1 draw. Two wrestler, that love to punish their opponents, look closely as it’s gonna be intriguing fight between two of the best ground fighters in this season.



Colton Trayne wants to regain his spot of the best Openweight fighter on this planet. After losing to Viljo Laine, he regrouped and get back even better – now, undefeated in EPL knock out artist, “Big” Duncan McAlister will get a chance to score upset victory over Season 3 winner, but it won’t be easy task. He has to overcome Colton’s KO power and lighting fast strikes – but with reach advantage, Duncan may actually has a shot on beating him and scoring 3 big points and huge confidence boost for himself. I have one more thing to say “Come on! Let’s do this!”
