 #7 Luk Yuha (12-8, UB 0-1) v. Keith Stone (4-3, UB 0-1) Starting off our main card tonight is former Island fighter & Croatian Boxer, Luk Yuha v. The Denver Native, Keith Stone. While competing on The Island, Yuha earned many highlight reel KO'S as well as a couple FOTN honors. Through pure boxing he was able to get 2 title shots in two different orgs but fell short both times. He's coming off a grounded TKO loss via elbows from Walood Kassab in UB1. His opponent is also coming off a similar loss.

Keith Stone is a young, Denver based fighter who can mix it up quite well. In his first fight for UB, he earned FOTN honors against Riki Maru, an opponent with a 50lb weight advantage, and was winning early in the fight. He mixed up punches, kicks, elbows, knees.. and a ill-fated takedown which was his undoing. He attempted a submission at first but eventually was on the receiving end of some punches from a mounted position that caused a cut.

The ring side doctor later called the end to the fight due to the cut despite never truly being hurt or in any danger. Aside from Yuha's crisp boxing skills they are both evenly matched and with their history of exciting fights this should be a good one.   

#3 John "Blitzkrieg Bob" Eugemia (13-6-1, UB 2-1) v. #17 Lucas "Beast" Marston (7-3, UB Debut) Up next, Is the UB debut of Brazilian Striker, Lucas "Beast" Marston v. United Blood's 16 Man Tournament runner up, John "Blitzkrieg Bob" Eugemia. Brazilian fans were very excited to hear the return of their countrymen, Lucas "Beast" Marston, who hasn't fought in Brazil in 3 (tycoon) years. Marston, who is undefeated in Brazil, comes back home where he earned a reputation for putting his opponents to sleep with his devastating punches.

He's got a tough opponent ahead of him looking to crash his coming home party in the form of Polands own, John "Blitzkrieg Bob" Eugemia. First off, congratulations to Eugemia for coming in 2nd place at the tournament.

No one can question this man's heart as he submitted 2 larger foes in the earlier rounds. He then fought for nearly 38 minutes and took 81 punches to the face and body before the referee decided he saw enough and declared it a TKO in the finals. Eugemia just didn't receive punishment, he dished it out as well landing 66 shots to his much larger foe. Eugemia's past couple fights have been against fighters with at least 60lbs on him so he should be used to dealing with the weight difference by now. Eugemia has the edge in everything but boxing but we've learned he's not afraid to stand and trade either. Potential fight of the night right here.   #2 Diederik "The Hidden Blade" Boschman (9-5, UB 2-0) v. #6 Psycho Thrillstompers (5-1, UB Debut)

Our Co-Main Event is a clash of wrestling styles as the Surinamese Greco-Roman standout, Diederik "The Hidden Blade" Boschman, takes on the other worldy, Chicago Catch Wrestler, Psycho Thrillstompers. Both fighters made their promotional debuts in the now defunct, King of the Beach organization, where they both earned 5 wins each. Boschman made his UB debut at the 16 man tournament where he won rounds 1 & 2 with ease but was to injured to move forward despite only being hit 3 times during the competition.

Thrillstompers makes his UB debut bringing in a beautiful 5 fight win streak all via submission. Thrillstompers will get a true test of his wrestling ability as Boschman has only been taken down by one opponent in 14 fights. Boschman uses his Greco-Roman skills to keep the fight standing and in the clinch where he slices and smashes with elbows and punches. Out of the two though, Thrillstompers has the honor of being called the better wrestler but is far outclassed in the striking department. The winner of this match could potentially get the next title shot.  

#1 Ezekiel "Power Trip" Puchowski (12-4, UB 1-0) v. #5 Harry "The Bulldog" Milne (8-3, UB 1-0) Just like our Co-Main Event, both competitors are KOTB vets. Ezekiel "Power Trip" Puchowski, is a Polish boxer who has KO victories in LHW, HW, & SHW. In fact, Puchowski owns the record for the most KO's in the now defunct orgs history. 3 of his 4 losses were to KOTB's champions. Coming his way is Britain's own, Harry "The Bulldog" Milne. Milne is a absolute tank of a human being.

Big and mean, he wants nothing more than to knock you out whether it be on the feet, in the clinch, or on the ground... he's coming for you. Despite this, Milne also could never reach gold as all of his losses were to the orgs champions as well. Both men made short work of their first opponents on the non-tournament exhibition matches at UB1. It seems that on this night one fighter will finally walk away with the gold.
