Hello all, Merlin here, bringing you a preview of some very exciting Fallen Champions action. We got the Lightweight Title on the line, and the first Champion will be crowned. Plus we have 9 other great match ups on the card. So lets get started....
205lb-Leo"CBK"Rodrigues(1-4)(0-2)vs Tim Alvarez(0-0)(0-0)-Alvarez by UD
170lb-Tito Santana(0-0)(0-0)vs Walter Netto(2-2)(2-2)-Santana by UD
205lb-Michael Kubiak(3-3)(2-0)vsDiego Russell(2-2)(2-1)-Russell by (t)KO 2nd Rd
265lb+-#7.Cyrus The Virus(3-0)(3-0)vs#8.Christopher Hael(2-0)(0-0)-Virus by (t)KO 1st Rd
185lb-#6.Chappa"Chop"Chippa(5-5)(1-1)vsPete"The Pet" Mercury(4-6)(0-2)-This is the 3rd fight between these two Middleweight warriors, with Mercury winning the first fight and Chippa the second both by decision! Both fighters are looking to get back on the winning track, coming off losses in their last fights! A win in this one could shoot one of these up the ranks and into a future title shot! Both of them are even in the grappling department, so Mercury could look to use his slight boxing advantage to give him the edge. I see Mercury being able to get the nod from the judges in this one.
205lb-#5.Ki I Kanaloa(3-0)(1-0)vs#8.Master Sifu(3-2)(2-2)-Ki I is a very promising prospect setting at 3-0 and winning KO of the Night in his Fallen Champions debute. He has some superb boxing with power in both hands, and some descent wrestling and BJJ skills. Master Sifu is know for his sambo style, where he has a good clinch game with some wonderful boxing. Sifu's only two losses came to the former Champion and current Champion both by submission so if he decides to take this fight down Kanaloa could look for a submission off his back. I can see this one going either way, but I think Ki I can win a decision.
265lb+-#6.Tug Boat(4-3)(0-1)vs#5."Rampage"Matthew Beaver(5-2)(3-1)-Both these guys are looking to get themselves into the title picture with a win in this one. It should be a high level grappling match, Tug Boat has a purple belt with nasty sweeps and good ground n pound. Both guys only loss in Fallen Champions is to the Mauy Thai wrecking machine Van Dijk. Beaver has some great takedowns, and some monster ground n pound. I see Beaver taking this fight to the ground, but the winner is going to be decided by whether or not Boat can do anything off his back. If he can't land a sweep. or pull off a slick submission from his back then Rampage will turn his face into minced meat!
265lb-#1,"Hellraiser"Solofa Fatu(7-2)(2-1)vsNebolath"Nebo"Nabochadnezzar(4-3)(1-2)-Fatu is considering a move down to light heavyweight, but he wants to try to get revenge for his two losses first. And Fatu's first loss came at the hands of no other than Nabochadnezzar back in December. Fatu is very well rounded having proficient boxing, respectable wrestling, and a purple belt but he tends to get alil over confident on the ground and leave himself open to submission. Lets see if hes worked on his defensive grappling, because we know that Nebo has some slick submission. Nebolath is currently on a 2 fight lossing streak, which he lost both by (t)KO on the feet, so more than likely Solofa will look to keep the fight standing and knock his opponent out.
155lb Championship-(#7P4P)#1.David King(8-2)(4-1)vs#4."The Law-nley"Tom Cirus(10-3)(2-0)-David King has been the top lightweight fighter in Fallen Champions for awhile now, he is riding a 3 fight win streak only lossing to the beast Conan back in Feb. King is a knockout artist, with 8 KO wins and 2 KO of the Night awards. Tom Cirus is a different story he has been a bit of a journeymen going between No Exit in Rio and Fallen Champions, but finally deciding to make his home in the FC. He is an awesome grappling with exceptional wrestling and a purple belt in BJJ, he also possess some NASTY ground n pound! This is a classic striker vs grappler match up, I think if King can pick his shots and stuff a few takedowns he'll be able to test Cirus's chin. If The Law-nley can secure a takedown I see it being a short night for King!
Well there you have it folks, it should be a great night of fights! I'm really excited to see the first Lightweight Champion crowned, its a talent packed division and there will be some great title fights in the future. Also seeing Hellraiser back in action, as his fights are always exciting. And the winner of Boat and Beaver will prolly be in the running for a title shot! Make sure to check back when I bring you the review of this great event! I would like to thank our sponsors The Darkside, and Pirates Powder! Also have to thank Mr Cropper with Hellraiser Fightwear for our graphics!
