 Welcome To HCF1 !!!


 
Jeff "Pimpdaddy" Parker (1-2)  Vs.  The “Raging Bull” Konstantine Erokhin (3-0)
Heavyweight Division
 
Don’t let the records fool you in this fight. Parker is a solid all around fighter that brings good speed, solid boxing and a great wrestling background into the cage. His one downfall seems to be his willingness to stand and bang instead of taking the fight to the ground and using his wrestling skills.
His opponent, Konstantine Erokhin, brings a perfect record of 3-0 with 3 knockouts into HCF1. Erokhin can handle himself on the ground when he has to, but what he does best is throw his fists. So far in his young career no fighter has gone past rd. 2, with 2 of his 3 opponents finding themselves sleeping in the first! 
This fight has definite championship implications with the winner in line for a title fight very soon!
_____________________________________________________________________
 
Steven "Die Klappershlange" Hofmann (2-0)  Vs.  Rocco "Manila Boy" Joaquin (0-0)
Featherweight Division
 
Hofmann enters HCF1 undefeated with a 2-0 record, both 1st round TKO’s. He is a pure ground fighter that relies on his awesome power to bring his opponents to the ground and pound them into submission. Hofmann is the hero of his hometown of Plauen, Germany and expects to keep it that way!
This will be the first fight for Rocco "Manila Boy" Joaquin, but believe me when I tell you he has the skills to contend for a title early in his career. Joaquin is also a ground fighter and combines solid wrestling with a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. His first fight will go a long way in telling us if he is a contender or a pretender!

Brayan Fernandez  Vs.  Artem "The Snake" Soikov
Featherweight Division
 
If you’re a fan of the ground game this fight will be a real treat! These 2 fighters come from the World Grappling Championships, where Fernandez (Bronx, NY) had a record of  4-0 before he lost a close decision in the semi-finals.
Soikov (Moscow, Russia) was even more successful, winning one TWGC Championship and bringing an overall TWGC record of 8-1 to the Hilo Fighting Championship with all 8 victories coming by way of submission!
Both of these fighters will have to get used to the striking game in the MMA, but if and when they do they’re going to be dangerous, with a capital “D”!

Dolores "Dolly" Doremus (0-0)  Vs.  Harry "Houdini" Ferris (2-3)
Bantamweight Division
 
Doremus is trying to start his career off with a victory while Ferris is attempting to even his record up at 3-3. Doremus manager, Cian Coggins, has been very careful with him, waiting until the Boise, Idaho fighter was ready. From what we have heard from Coggins, “Dolly” has a very strong ground game and holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as well as a superb wrestling game. I guess we’ll find out if the year of training was worth it, but my guess is it was!
Ferris counters with a striking game that can be devastating at times. His skills in both Muay Thai and boxing will no doubt make him a tough opponent for the inexperienced Doremus. After starting out 2-1 and showing a ton of promise, Ferris has been submitted in his last 2 fights and is looking to get back on track!
_____________________________________________________________________
 
Michel "Chef Patron" Roux Jr. (5-1)  Vs.  Bread "Bakery Man" Panterson (8-4)
Bantamweight Division
 
This fight has championship implications written all over it. Roux Jr., with an almost perfect record of 5-1, has 4 submission wins along with 1 TKO. He may have the strongest ground game in his weight class in the HFC.
Panterson also brings a superb record into the fight with 8 wins to go with only 4 losses, including winning 6 of his last 7 fights! Panterson is more of an all around fighter though he, too, relies on the ground game more than strikes, as his 4 submission wins show. This should be a war!
_____________________________________________________________________
 
Steve Deverux (2-2)  Vs.  Derek Ronnie (1-1)
Light Heavyweight Division
 
This is your classic striker vs. ground fighter battle. Deverux brings a record of 2-2 into the fight, with 2 big KO’s, while Ronnie is 1-1 with a submission to his credit. Deverux will do everything in his power to stay on his feet and set Ronnie up for one of his big right hands, while Ronnie will be trying to force Deverux to do battle in his world, the ground. Which ever fighter can force his will on the other will come out victorious in this one!

Buddy "Boom Boom" Lyles (5-1)  Vs.  King Kong (0-0)
Super Heavyweight Division
 
Buddy Lyles started his MMA career with 3 straight 1st round knockouts, none going past the 1 minute mark. Then, in his first title fight, ran into the buzz saw called Oooh Yeah. After getting KO’ed himself in the first round, and watching his first opportunity at a belt go by the wayside, Lyles came back and defeated Yeah not once, but twice, both in 5 round wars, only to walk away from Extreme MMA as the Super Heavyweight Champion! “I’m looking for bigger and better things”, said Lyles after joining the HFC. “The HFC is THE up and coming organization in MMA, and I plan on being their Super Heavyweight Champion soon and for a long, long time!”
King Kong may have something to say about that! 
_____________________________________________________________________
 
Kenric Nyyrikki (1-10)  Vs.  Anderson "The Summoner" Knows (0-1)
Welterweight Division
 
Nyyrikki enters the fight with a less than stellar record of 1-10 and seems like he may be just what the Dr. ordered for Knows. “The Summoner” lost his first and only fight via submission against the 4-0 Mike Loser and needs a victory to even his record. Knows is a strong wrestler and holds a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and is ready to get off to a fast start in the HFC!
_____________________________________________________________________
 
King Rothschild (1-1)  Vs.  Brock Lesnar (3-1)
Heavyweight Division
 
This heavyweight battle should be exciting! Rothschild dominated all 3 rounds in his lone victory, finally pounding his opponent into oblivion. He considers himself a “ground and pound” expert and will look to do the same to Lesnar!
Brock has other ideas. He brings a 3-1 record into this fight with one win by decision, one by submission and one by KO! Lesnar is also a strong wrestler and depends highly on his on “ground and pound”. This one looks like the first man to put himself on top might pound his opponent into submission!
_____________________________________________________________________
 
Aoki Funkyama (33-18)  Vs. Oswaldo "Sonny" Sanchez (34-17-3)
Welterweight Division
 
Our main event promises to be an outright war between two veteran superstars! These warriors are both fighting to stay relevant, and the winner will be set for yet another championship. Sanchez & Funkyama have 15 title fights between them. Aoki 
Recently the CEFC where he held the welterweight championship of the world!
Both fighters are great strikers and on the ground. I truly believe the fighter that wants this one the most will be victorious!
