(Heavyweight Division) Bipolar Opposite (4-0) versus Anthony Joshua (3-0)
Long before he strapped himself into a pair of four ounce gloves, Bipolar Opposite was simply a man that had fallen head over heels in love with submission grappling. The competition, the gi, and the mutual respect all worked together to instill in Opposite a sense of true belonging that had been missing in his life prior.
After dabbling in the sport for the better part of his early twenties, Bipolar decided to take his career to the next level, why is why he signed up to compete in a regional level QFC show. The actual venue left much to be desired; we're all aware of this type of show... using actual chains in the place of ropes enclosing the ring. No real medical staff was in attendance for this event. Bipolar Opposite knew that, if he was going to enjoy his elder years, he needed to not get brutally maimed and injured in this show.
Fortunately, the one thing that is inevitably true in your first professional fight is that, once the adrenaline begins pumping through your veins, your higher intellect is pushed aside as your training takes control of your body. Bipolar Opposite scored a takedown seconds into the fight, locking his opponent in tightly. Unsatisfied with the position, Opposite got to his feet during a scramble, and reset in the center of the ring.
Bipolar once again took his opponent to the floor, and his grappling inadequate foe struggled to get back to his feet. During scramble after scramble, Bipolar slowly snaked his way into the back mount, locking on tightly with a body triangle before securing the fight ending rear naked choke.
In his next appearance, Bipolar found out what Willis was talking about, when he secured a guillotine choke from guard, forcing Miguel Willis, his opponent of the day, to submit. With two more appearances in the QFC, Bipolar Opposite easily dispatched two more opponents with his advanced submission games.
But, with the regional circuit behind him, Bipolar now stands at the precipice; for the first time in his career, he faces off against a man that has found great success with a Jiu-Jitsu background. It's time to put up or shut up, as two of the very best submission fighters currently signed to Casino Fight Nights square off for supremacy.
Anthony Joshua is a rare breed in the sport of mixed martial arts: he doesn't come from an athletic background, had never truly been in a fist fight before he started training. After training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for a few years, Anthony decided to test his skills in a real fight.
Making his MMA debut in the QFC, Anthony faced Hasan Silhimidzic, a veteran of seven fights going into this meeting. Predominantly known for his heavy ground and pound, Silhimidzic was a heavy favorite going into this clash. Joshua knew that he had to remain on top; he worked diligently to out wrestle the bigger, more experienced grappler. After two rounds of domination, Joshua locked in the fight ending armbar, forcing submission from his opponent.
In his second professional fight, Joshua faced six fight veteran and blue belt submission grappler Wayne Roach. Wayne opened with a wild punching combination; Joshua ducked under the blows and responded with a quick head kick that checked Roach in, but didn't quite check him out. Roach scrambled to his feet, and Joshua pushed forward with a big one-two combination a la George Foreman knocking out Michael Moorer. Roach went down once again, and this time he stayed there. After ten seconds, Anthony Joshua had won his second professional fight against yet another widely experienced combatant.
Following his quick and brutal knockout over Wayne Roach, Anthony Joshua was signed to growing rockstar promotion Casino Fight Nights. Joshua would find himself fighting in the main event of CFN 1, the premiere show. His opponent was heavy handd Indonesian kick boxer and street fighting legend Tulalo Maluo. Joshua took him down with ease, pounding the slugger from the back streets of Gorontalo like he owed him money. As Maluo started to panic, struggling to return to his feet, Joshua slipped into half guard and lockd in a kimura. Maluo fought, but ultimately found himself performing the same action that Silhimidzic had only a few weeks prior: he submitted to avoid having to wipe his ass with his left hand for the rest of the year.
