 Hello Folks, Merlin here bringing you another great preview of some sure to be awesome Fallen Champions action. The Cinderella Story of Tom Cirus will be on full display when he makes his first title defense. Also we have have some very highly regarded new comers making their debute! So lets get this started.....
145lbs-Chancho Smith(4-6)(0-1)vsSpider Silva(2-6)(1-1)-Chancho by SUB 1st Rd
145lbs-Rancho Juventin(2-0)(1-0)vsDewayne Bryant(2-1)(2-0)-Bryant by SUB 1st Rd
155lbs-Tim Riggins(3-6)(0-1)vsNate Tua(2-5)(1-3)-Riggins by UD
155lbs-Alvaro Dimas(1-0)(0-0)vs Kay Ector(1-1)(1-1)-Ector by UD
185lbs-Camber Cartwright(5-7)(0-0)vsPete Mercury(4-7)(0-3)-Cartwright by UD
145lbs-Johnny Belt(3-5)(0-2)vs#10.Steven Stark(2-0)(1-0)-Johnny Belt is looking to get himself back on the winning side of things as he has dropped his last two fights. He has a lot of faith in his grappling skill, having one all three of his fights by way of submission, but has been known to get careless and leave himself open. Steven Stark hasn't really showed any holes in his game in his two pro fights, he has good hands, an okay clinch game, exceptional wrestling with some nasty ground n pound! It will be interesting to see how Belt's BJJ game is off his back, as he may be able to catch Stark in a submission. I think that Stark is going to be a tough match up for anyone in the division, and I'm sure that he will have an invested interest in the main event of the night.
135lbs-#10.VJ"Kool"Kiwi(4-3-1)(0-0)vs#8.Evil"Hadoken"Ryu(6-3-1)(0-0)-This is a very exciting match up between Fallen Champions new comers. VJ is a true MMA fighter being able to hold his own no matter where the fight goes, but his strongest skillset would be his grappling with a collegiate wrestling background and a high level Brown belt. Hes opponent is 10 fight veteran Evil Ryu, who comes from a Mauy Thai where he held a very impressive 20-1 record. Which makes you wonder if he has been holding back since making the transction to MMA, seeing how hes only been able to get a finish in one of six pro wins! I think if Evil can get the clinch and unleash his dangerous knees its going to be a bad night for Kool Kiwi, but if VJ can get the fight to the ground it'll be awhole different story!
170lbs-#3.Jonathon"The Cat Smasher"Vermont(6-1)(2-1)vs#6.Brynjar Skjeggestad(7-1)(4-1)-The winner of this top 10 match up, will more than likely be starring at a title shot in their next fight. This fight could potential be the fight of the night as both of these guys know how to finish! Out of their combined 13 wins, 12 of them have been by submission. Vermont perfers to the aggressor on the ground doing his best work from the top position, while Brynjar is very slick off of his back! Sometimes when you have two guys so evenly matched on the ground that they may look to keep it standing, in which case Vermont has slight advantage in Boxing and Brynjar has the clinch advantage! I can't really pick a winner in this one, but I will forsure be excited to watch it!
265lb+-(#9 P4P)#1."Hellraiser"Eddie Fatu(7-1)(0-0)vsMike"Crusher"Born(5-5)(3-2)-Eddie Fatu makes his Fallen Champions debute, and with him being one of the biggest free agent signings in the history of the org it should be a good one! He is very well rounded, and all 7 of his victories have been finishes with 6 of them coming by submission. Starring across the ring at him will be tough Fallen Champions Veteran Mike Born who is coming off of an impressive Submission of the Night victory in his last outting. Born has a very high level BJJ game, but with him having a victory by UD, submission, and (t)KO in his Fallen Champions career he can posse a threat wherever the fight goes! I think that Fatu may look to use his descent Boxing game to take an advantage in this one, but if it makes it to the ground I think Born will take the fight.
155lb Championship-(#7 P4P)#4."The Law-nley Boy"Tom Cirus(11-3)(3-0)vs#3.Darcy Lilo(8-3)(2-0)-Tom Cirus's raise to the top is that of a movie, Middle Aged Father all but gives up on his fighting career to become a lawyer but then gives his lifelong dream one last shot. And the next chapter unfolds as he'll be making his first Title Defense, and the man looking to end the fairytale is Darcy Lilo. Lilo is coming off of that spectular upset victory over Robert E Conan back at FC XVI. Cirus has an amazing top game with some of the best ground n pound in the org, while Lilo has some of the smoothest BJJ and also lands a fair amount of strikes on the ground. This one could turn into a grappling clinic for any of you newbies looking to pick up some pointers! Cirus likes to get his opponent down and unload a barrage of strikes, overwhelming his opponent with his KO power. While Lilo likes to soften his opponent up with strikes, and when he hurts them he will either look to finish with his fist or lock up a nasty submission!
There you have it folks, you don't want to miss this card! Some great action will be on tap, and I'm sure that King Arthur will have a hard timme picking the of the night winners when this one is said and done! I would like to think our sponsor The Darkside Clothing, and Pirates Powder Nutrition!
