 GAMMA #535 - Gunnar V Touret - January 30th, 2016, - Los Angeles, California, LA
Memorial Colosuseum
Fat Gorilla (20-13, 13-9 GAMMA) [None] VS. Jon “Bones” Pegas (38-28, 6-3 GAMMA)
[Valhalla] Super Heavyweight (265+)
In the first bout of the main card, Igor Psycho’s Fat Gorilla went head to head against John Bravo’s “Bones” here in a Super Heavyweight throwdown. Gorilla, a GAMMA regular, was eager to continue his winning ways, having won his previous fight by
T.K.O., where as “Bones” was trying to get back in to the winner’s circle after a disappointing loss to Patrick Bateman in his last time out. gorilla would not have it, as the man who has grown up in the GAMMA cage showed why he is one of its favorite
sons, as he cut “Bones” on the first punch of the match before thoroughly controlling the entire two minutes of fighting with his striking. An uppercut was the capstone on a nice victory, sending “Bones” down for the count.
RESULT: Gorilla def. Pegas via K.O. (Punch) in the 1st Round (2:27)
Bobby “The Black Knight” Bishop (28-13-1, 5-4 GAMMA) [Ontario Dudes Club] VS. Leopold
“Professor Chaos” Stoch (28-17, 3-1 GAMMA) [Legion of Doom] Middleweight (185)
Cause McDubree’s “Black Knight” was up next against “Professor Chaos”, who is represented by Nero Wolfe. Stotch got out of the gates quickly against his opponent, striking with him the whole way, and landing more shots over the course of the first two rounds. Towards the end of the 2nd, however, Bishop came alive, and, perhaps knowing that he needed a finish to end up with the victory, controlled the 3rd round, looking like the man with more fire. It was too little, too late, however, and Stotch’s hand was raised in victory.
RESULT: Stotch def. Bishop via Unanimous Decision in the 3rd Round (5:00)
Jax “Scarslutje” Teller (38-19, 10-3 GAMMA) [Valhall] VS. Diego “Nightmare” Sanchez
(45-22-2, 18-9 GAMMA) [Legion of Doom]
Middleweight (185)
Jax Teller, represented by John Bravo, and Diego Sanchez, represented by Gale
Hawthorne, came in to this one looking to get back in to title contention. Both are former champions, and jewels in the Middleweight division here for GAMMA, and seeing these two finally cross paths was a thrill for the fans. The 1st round saw Teller landing being the aggressor, but not being able to hurt Sanchez. The 2nd round was the opposite, where Teller was the slippery combatant moving away from Sanchez’s attempts to take control. The 3rd was were Teller finally was able to hold Sanchez down in the clinch and land some nasty shots, giving him the edge on the scorecards and earning himself another title shot. I know that we haven’t seen the last of Sanchez, however.
RESULT: Teller def. Sanchez via Unanimous Decision in the 3rd Round
(5:00)
“I want to vomit” Scotty Bennet (42-13, 8-8 GAMMA) [Legion of Doom] VS. “The
Worshipful Master” Hugues De Paynes (32-8, 1-2 GAMMA) [The
Broken Halo Pride] Middleweight (185)
A living legend and former #1 ranked pound-for-pound fighter, represented by Mentor Corleone, Scotty Bennet has perhaps seen the best of his career pass by him, but for someone of his skill that still makes him one of the best around. Brandon Loveladdy’s fighter De Paynes was not having any of that, as the veteran of the octagon came in to this one looking to make a name for himself. De Paynes was unfortunately no match for Bennet, who showed that, while he may not be as good as he once was, he’s as good once as ever, controlling the pace and standing up with his opponent during this one. De Paynes was simply never able to get it going, and suffered the decision loss against Bennet. While there is no shame in losing to a man of Bennet’s caliber, certainly he was looking to establish himself at the top of GAMMA with a victory here. Fight of the night honors were awarded to both of the fighters in this one.
RESULT: Bennet def. De Paynes via Unanimous Decision in the 3rd Round (5:00)
Gunnar Steigelmann (c) (27-13, 14-8 GAMMA) [Milwaukee’s Best] VS. Julien “The French
Psychopath” Touret (22-11, 9-4 GAMMA) [Qlimax] Super Heavyweight (265+) CHAMPIONSHIP
Our main event and championship clash of the super heavyweights saw Dom Jaehnke’s Steigelmann taking on Bobby Heyman’s Touret for the belt. Touret had come in to this one riding a four fight winning streak to earn this matchup, whereas Steigalmann has long been atop the super heavyweights and the heavyweights, having won the belt at both weights and coming off of a title defense against Tony Slevin. Touret had high hopes after landing a blow to Steigelmann that left him leaking red; however, it takes more than that to faze a GAMMA champion, as Steigelmann came back and not only knocked down Touret, but cut him as well. Touret was scrambling for a clinch when Steigelmann teed off on him, a huge counter right dropping the Frenchman to his knees before finishing him with a few more undefended shots from the top. Steigelmann remains the champion, and takes home K.O. of the night honors to boot!
RESULT: Steigelmann (c) def. Touret via T.K.O. (Strikes) in the 1st Round (3:35) Decision in the 5th Round (5:00)
