Hello fight fans, Merlin here bringing you a preview of Friday Nights Fallen Champions event! We have a little mix of everything on tap for this event so lets get started.

265lbs-Chris Edwards(3-1)(1-0)vsSergio Tyson(3-2)(3-2)-Tyson by (t)KO in 1st Rd

155lbs-Alvaro Dimas(1-1)(0-1)vsSeya Hyoga(2-4)(0-0)-Dimas by UD

205lbs-Diego Guerra(2-1)(0-1)vsMichael Kubiak(3-5)(2-2)-Guerra by Sub in 1st Rd

155lbs-#7.Damien Lok(4-2)(2-2)vsLord Steel Penn(2-1)(1-0)-Steel Penn by (t)KO in 1st Rd

185lbs-#3.Quinton Jackson(5-1)(3-1)vs#9.Bob Koff(2-0)(1-0)-Jackson by UD

170lbs-#6.Glin"B-Man"Burman(5-9)(0-0)vs#8.Sam"Mayday"Malone(5-1)(2-0)

After starting his career 0-6 Glin Burman, had a nice little run at UPF-H going 3-2. He is making his Fallen Champions debut on a 3 fight win streak, and can make an early statement with a win against a top 10 welterweight! He has some really good stand up, and some descent power in both hands. He has finished all 5 of his victories by strikes, and you can also take a punch with a solid chin. Sam Malone is very well rounded, which makes him comfortable where ever the fight may end up. He prefers to the ground game, and has been able to finish 3 of his 5 wins by submission. I think that Malones solid chin will allow him to take Burman's shots, and get the fight to the ground and earn himself a decision victory!


170lb Championship-(C)"Sir"Gawain Lot(5-0)(5-0)vs#3.Brynjar Skjeggestad(8-1)(5-1)

Gawain Lot filled in for the injuried Kid Kong back FC Lost Legends VII, and won the interim Title. In his last outting he beat the Champion Kong and unified the titles, now he will be looking for his first offical Title Defense. Lot specializes in a Sambo style catch wrestling, which utilizes his Olympic caliber wrestling and descent BJJ game to takedown his opponent down and overwhelm them with punches and submissions. Brynjar Skjeggestad is a submission machine, and with 8 wins and 8 subs he is a hand full for any opponent. He is very well rounded, but has a very high level purple belt. This is going to be a high level grappling match up, and we know that Lot is going to land the takedown but thats where the fight gets interesting. Will Skjeggestad be able to use his slick BJJ game off his back, or will Lot be able to end the fight with strikes?

265lbs-#1.Dum Vivimus Vivamus(10-3)(0-0)vs#6.Orlando Sax(3-0)(2-0)

Dum Vivimus Vivamus is making his Fallen Champions debut, but has no lack of experience with this going to be his 14th fight. He is very good at every aspect of MMA, but really relies on his Muay Thai clinch game. Orlando Sax has a World Class grappling game, and once he gets his opponents on there back it is all over! He can end the fight via submission or ground n pound, and can earn himself a top contender spot with a win over the new comer! Dum has a granite chin which will help him out if he gets taken down, and hopefully can keep the fight standing where he has the clear advantage. I think that Sax will be able to get the fight down, but will Dum be able to use his experience to get back up before Sax can get any offense going?

205lbs-#2."Hellraiser"Solofa Fatu(9-3)(4-2)vs#9.Bruce"Black Dynamite"Leroy(2-0)(1-0)

Solofa Fatu is making his offical move to light heavyweight after being alil under sized for the Heavyweight for his whole career! He is a very dangerous opponent both standing and on the ground, and with his strength he is going to be a handful at 205. Bruce Leroy has a very balanced skillset, but will be lacking a little bit in the experience department. He has won his two career fights by using a nice mixture of strikes and clinch work. I think that Fatu's Boxing and BJJ will be a little too much for his opponent, but if Leroy can get the fight in the clinch he will have the best chance to win and stay undefeated. I see Fatu getting back to his winning ways in his new home, and win via strikes in the 1st Rd.

265lbs+-(#8 P4P)#4."Regal"Icarus Ritter(6-1)(1-0)vs#3."Mack"Ravil Lebedev(9-2)(0-0)

This is the Main Event of the evening and Man these BIG boys should put on a show! Icarus Ritter won his debut back at FC Lost Legends X, and a win in this match up will send a message to the rest of the division that there may me a new King in town! He has the natural power that if he layes hands on his opponents they could go to sleep at any point. Ravil Lebedev is making his promotional debut, and a win over Ritter could shoot himself right into the title picture. With 15 knockouts between this two, and both men having bricks in their gloves there is going to be fireworks! This is a very even match up, the only difference that I can see is that Ravil has been stopped by strikes before and Ritter has not, will it matter?

I can't wait for this card! I would like to think our sponsors Pirate Powder Nutrition and The Dark Side Clothing store! Make sure to check in with them for all of your tycoon needs!
