 Hello folks Merlin here and do we have an event for you! We have the Heavyweight Championship fight, as well as a number 1 contender fight for the Light Heavyweight crown, and eight other great match ups. So lets gets started........
185lbs-Rafael Silva(0-1)(0-0)vsAsa Sharp(0-1)(0-1)-Silva by Sub 1st Rd
265lbs+top -Apollo Balboa(2-5)(0-0)vsEddie Pryor(0-1)(0-0)-Pryor by UD
205lbs-Kurt Cobain(2-2)(2-2)vsBenancio Irizauregui(1-0)(1-0)-Benancio by (t)KO 1st Rd
170lbs-Jose Dimagiba(3-4)(1-3)vsSuleman Pokong(1-2)(1-2)-Dimagiba by (t)KO 1st Rd
185lbs-#10.Demian Alva(2-1)(0-1)vsJacobo Ibrahim(3-3)(0-1)-Alva by UD
205lbs-Markus Fittz(3-1)(2-0)vsTim Alvarez(2-4)(2-0)
Tim Alvarez started his Fallen Champions career with a pretty poor 0-4 record, but has now went 2-0 and is knocking on the door of the top ten. Markus Fittz is also coming in on a two fight win streak, and looking to move himself in the ten. These two fighters are very evenly matched, and could be an early canidate for Fight of the Night. Fittz is very well rounded having won his three fights by KO, Submission, and decision, so he is comfortable where ever the fight goes. Alvarez prefers the ground game with two submissions, so if he can use his slight wrestling advantage to get the fight to the ground he could lock up a submission.
155lbs-#4.David King(8-3)(4-2)vs Greg Dellaria(4-8)(1-1)
David King is looking to turn his career around, and get back to his winning ways. In his last fight King fell short in trying to capture the title, which started a whirlpool effect. Now with new management and a new training camp hopefully we'll see him back to top form. With 8 wins all by way of knockout, nobody doubts King's ability to stand and bang, or his ability to finish fights. Greg Dellaria is widely considered an under acheiver in the world of MMA, and his record may not show it but his is a very talented fighter. He won the KO of the Night in his last trip out, and could look to stand and trade with his opponent. He'll be looking to use his fast hands to overcome, King's advantage in natural knockout power. I see a contender for KO of the Night in this one!
145lbs-#5.Kalel"#1"Iziarry(5-2)(3-2)vs#7."The Finnisher"Caius Lehtonen(8-3)(3-2)
Kalel has won his last two fights, and who can forget his FC XIX match up with Kraal The Bouncer where he pulled off a slick submission with 42 seconds left in the fight to earn the Fight of the Night award. He will look to use his wonderful wrestling to put his opponent on his back, and look for his fifth submission victory. Caius lacks the wrestling ability of his counter part, but his BJJ is just as good with five career submission victories. I see this being a high level grappling match, Kalel should be able to use his wrestling to get himself in the more dominate position but Caius will have plently of opportunities to pull off a sub of his own. A win in this one will shoot one of this fighters to the top of the division and into the title picture.
205lbs-#4."Prodigy"BJ Penn(11-6)(4-1)vs#8.Tim"Larix"Askarian(5-3)(3-1)
BJ Penn is not lacking anything in the experience area with this going to be his 18th pro career fight, so there not anything that he hasn't seen before. With 11 wins by submission, Penn has a very high level Brown Belt, but his also has some remarkable boxing. So Penn is going to be a hand full for his opponent where ever the fight takes place, but we know that he will be trying to get the action to the mat and lock up his 12th submission win! Tim Askarian wants to get a win over a high level opponent, and put the rest of the division on notice. He has some world class Muay Thai, and with some super human strength once he gets ahold of you its hard to get away. Rumor has it that the winner of this fight could be called on for a short notice title fight, but we don't have any solid details on that yet!
265lb Championship-(#9 P4P)#4.Lee Jackson(8-4-1)(3-0)vs#3.Razor Maya(8-3)(1-0)
Lee Jackson is coming in on a four fight win streak, and is only picking up more and more confidence as he goes. He has some really good boxing which hasn't been tested in his Fallen Champions career, because his BJJ is some of the best in the org. Jackson has a really powerful double leg, which he will be looking to land because he will want to get Maya on his back and avoid the striking game. Maya came into Fallen Champions on a 3 fight losing streak, which some say was contibuted to him party too much and not taking his training seriously. In his debut at FC XX, he looked unstoppable absolutely destroying Galahad Du Lac, and sending him into retirement! He is a monster of a man, and is surprisingly quick which makes his world class striking that much more dangerous! I think that Jackson will be able to take Maya down, but the outcome of the fight will be based on whether or not Maya will be able to avoid the submission game and get the fight back to the feet.
