 Hello fight fans Merlin here bringing you a preview of this Satuarday's Fallen Champions event FC 42:Clendennon vs DeVito that will be held at the Hardknocks in Hilo in front of a pack house. We have 10 great contests on tap, including a number 1 contender fight for the 145lb Championship between #1 ranked Craig Clendennon and highly hyped newcomer Tommy DeVito. So lets get the action going.....
185lbs-Javier Casados(8-10)(1-2)vsTrevor Kazarian(1-0)(0-0)-Kazarian by (t)KO in 1st Rd
170lbs-Suleman Pokong(3-5)(3-5)vsParvati Mellia(0-1)(0-0)-Mellia by (t)KO in 1st Rd

155lbs-#6.David King(10-6)(6-5)vsJim Jom(9-10)(4-4)-King by UD
145lbs-#7.Kraal The Bouncer(10-7)(3-4)vs#6."Irish"Mike OMalley(10-5)(8-2)
We start the Main card off with this rematch between these two 145lb ex Champions, Kraal the Bouncer has has an up and down FC career so far, the up being winning the Title back at FC 32, and the down being this two fight lossing streak that he is on. Kraal has some of the best boxing in the division and has power to finish any one, but has showed a lackluster ground game thus far. Mike OMalley started his FC career off with 7 fight win streak that had many people thinking that he was on his way to being the most dominate fighter in the org, but after dropping two fights in a row Mike went back to the drawing board and looked to be back to his old form in his last outting. Kraal was about to get the better of their last fight doing a great job of using his Boxing to keep the fight at striking distance, but I think Mike has learned from his mistakes and will come out with a different gameplan in this one.
155lbs-#1.Lunchmeat Sandwich(9-2)(9-2)vs#10.Timoteo"Cheetah"Belo(4-2)(1-1)
In our next contest we have two top 10 Lightweights doing battle, Lunchmeat Sandwich has been hanging around the top of the division for some time now, but has fell short in the big fights. If Lunchmeat can pull off this victory he could be looking at another title shot against newly crowned Champion Colt Compton. Sandwich's skillset doesn't look that great on paper, but he finds a way to make it work and has 7 Submission victories to his name. Timoteo Belo is pretty well rounded, and has the skills to be comfortable where ever the fight goes. I'm sure that he'll wanna try to keep this fight standing and avoid Sandwich's dominate grappling game. I think that Sandwich has the Wrestling to get this one to the mat, and lock up his 8th career Sub.
170lbs-#4.Hugo Stiglitz(9-3)(1-0)vs#6."Bull"Bill Shadow(8-2)(3-0)
These two Top 10 Welterweights could get themselves in the title hunt with a win in this one, Hugo Stiglitz is coming off of a Submission victory in his FC debut. He has a high level grappling game with a Brown belt and some descent Wrestling that has helped him lock up 7 Submission wins. Bill Shadow is coming off of that great Decision win over Nikolay Capriotti at LL 24, and is riding a 5 fight win streak that is sure to help his confidence coming in. Bill has a great skillset that combines some strong Boxing with Collegiate level Wrestling and a slick BJJ game. Both of these two will be evenly matched if the fight hits the mat, but I think that Shadow has the Striking and Wrestling to keep the fight standing and use his Boxing to win this one.
185lbs-#7.Chris"Hack Saw"Remnant(9-5)(3-1)vs(#2 P4P)#2.Bobby"The Black Knight"Bishop(11-1)(0-0)
In our Co Main event in the evening we have these two Top 10 Middleweights, Chris Remnant is coming off of a losing effort for the title at FC 38 but is looking to get himself back on track with a big win in this one. Hack Saw is a World class grappler with a good mix of Wrestling and BJJ that has helped him earned 6 of his career victories by way of Submission and 3 Sub of the Night awards in his 4 FC fights. If Remnant can get this fight to the ground he could make quick work of his opponent. Bobby Bishop is making his FC debut riding a 5 fight win streak, and a win in this one could earn him a title shot. He has a very well rounded skillset, and can win a fight where ever it ends up. Bishop has a slight advantage in Wrestling so if he can keep the fight standing he'll be able to win the Striking game, but if Remnant can land one of his great double legs he'll be able to show his dominance on the ground.
145lbs-(#6 P4P)#1.Craig"Cee-Chop"Clendennon(11-1)(1-0)vs#2.Tommy DeVito(10-2)(0-0)
In our Main event of the evening we have a great match up between the number 1 and number 2 145lbers in the org, and the winner will be getting a shot at the title. Craig Clendennon is on a 7 fight win streak including his KO victory in his FC debut over ex Champion Kraal the Bouncer, so he'll be riding a lot of momentum coming into this one. He has an Exceptional Muay Thai game both striking and clinch, and if he is able to get the clinch he will overwhelm his opponent with a barrage of knees and elbows. Craig also has a pretty descent defensive grappling game, but hasn't had to show much of his offensive grappling. Tommy DeVito is making his FC debut after spending the majority of his career at Royal Combat.Tommy has some Olympic level Boxing, and the power in both hands to end a fight at a moments notice. I think that these two are going to stand and bang, and the winner will come down to who is able to capitalize on theie opponents openings.
There you have it folks another great night of fights on tap for all the Fallen Champions fans out there. Good luck to all the fighters who are competing on the the card.
