History of P4P King's of HeavyweightEditorial by Chris Karter
The most memorable name in Tycoon history, Fidel got his start in PRIDE but quickly took over the Syn' HW division. He is an 8 time Syn' HW champion. One of the All-time greats of the game, he started his career as a submission specialist and turned into a knockout artist, long before the days of project fighters, private gyms, and one-on-one training.
"The Irritable Injun" Bubba KillsInWater
Nobody can forget that purple mohawk or his epic comeback victories. He put heart on the map. Rio's Irritable Injun that could, he showed Tycooners the importance of 'determined'. Best known for his victories over Fidel Puno.
Phillip Dale (Mike Evans)
The first product of HWP's hype farm, this guy got to #1 by beating a bunch of Mother AA's cans.
He was 14-0 with 9 straight wins in Syn' vs notable opponents like Fidel Puno, Cee Digits, and Merrimac Mjolnir. Syn' Hall of Famer, he added names like Golden Glory, Jan Paulsen, and Conquer This to his resume.
Aloha Hoi loves his mother, pineapple pizza, and Krautrock. Blitz Champion and Hall of Famer, he had some of the heaviest hands in the game. He fought and beat some of the biggest names the HW division had to offer.
He was 22 years old, 11-0, and Blitzkrieg Heavyweight champion. His rise to the top was fast but it didn't last long before Aloha Hoi took his soul with a brutal punch combination. He never recovered.
Alistair Overoid (The Coach)
A dangerous striker who captured titles in classic organizations: Russian Combat, NFC, IMMA (EVO). He beat some big names before back-to-back knockout losses to Arnie Ironz and Don Marciano ruined his career.
The second product of Mother AA and HWP's hype-farm system. He racked up a 27 fight win streak beating the same cans over and over again. Chris Karter and Don Marciano saved the day by kicking his ass and taking his #1 spot.
Anton Chigurh (Rei Travis)
Competed in the most notable orgs in the history of the game; Syn, Blitz, GAMMA, Sauna Fights, NFC, EVO. Fought just about everybody the division had to offer. 58 fights under Professor Gutz, he was a premier name at HW for years.
One of LT's heavy-hitting machines, he was once 20-1 and one of the most intimidating fighters in the game. A brutal finisher with 89% of his fights ending via (T)KO, he added 2 KO slams to his resume. Ascension HOFer with wins over Carlton, War Machine, Mjolnir, Overoid, and many more big names.
One of the HW divisions greatest strikers of all-time. Only fighter in history to reach #1 P4P in both MMA and KT rankings. Of his 55 MMA fights 38 of them were vs opponents who broke top 100 p4p rankings. 24 fights vs top 10 ranked opponents and beat several former #1 P4P fighters; Dustin Douglas, Afro Samurai, Overoid, and Travis Reed. He also beaten #1 KT P4P fighters in Garson DeBramalo, Lorenzo Von Matterhorn, Sergei Dimitrovich, and Sher Sha Suri.
Another of LT's HW machines. Marvel's version of Creel has nothing on this fighter. He went on an 18 fight win streak with 17 of them coming via knockout before being submitted by Kane Williams. He would go on to KO Williams in the first round of their next two fights winning the trilogy in dominant fashion. Ascension HW champion with 10 title defenses and 37 career knockouts.
2014 Olympic Gold Medalist. He was like fine-wine, he got better with age. After an inconsistent start to his career under Soyster, starting at the age of 33 he'd rack up 13 consecutive victories vs top ranked opponents to capture the #1 spot.
Once 17-0 with 8 straight victories over top 10 Heavyweights. He became the youngest fighter to reach #1 P4P in history at the age of 21. His run at the top didn't last long after his chin was exposed and he was retired by 26.
GAMMA Hall of Famer. 'Killer' is an appropriate nickname for this fighter. He possesses massive KO power and has a 100% finishing rate for his career with all 42 of his wins coming by way of knockout.
CEC Heavyweight champion and veteran, he was one of the many knockout artist in the HW division. He had 12 consecutive KO wins in CEC to obtain the #1 P4P rank, but it didn't last long before he was KO'd by Convicted's Leonardo Ferriera.
Leonardo "Voodoo Child" Ferreira
Product of Mannetosen, it explains why he was a sex symbol outside of the cage. He retired as the #1 P4P fighter in the game after a 14-1 streak. He's best known for being a Broken Halo Pride destroyer, wrecking their top fighters, Rinky Spider, Chick Bowdrie, and Gun Slinga.
EVO Hall of Famer with 20 title victories in the organization. He's the first Super Heavyweight fighter to make this list. He was at the top of the rankings for the duration of his career and beat a lot of top ranked fighters during his run.
"The Mad Monk" Gregori Rasputin
Heavyweight veteran and former CEC champion, he reached the top during the back-end of his career by racking up wins vs former greats like Kyle Cartlon, Bo Juggernaut, Randolph Turpin, Gymer Alexandersson, and a few others.
An 8 fight win streak got him the #1 P4P spot and made him a legend in his own mind. Turpin is a former Syn' Heavyweight champion and defended his title numerous times earning him a spot in their prestigious Hall of Famer.
2016 Olympic Heavyweight Gold Medalist. EVO veteran. On a 10 fight win streak with notable wins over Veide, Hess, Traylor, Rubin, Rasputin, and Joestar, before getting knocked out by Convicted's Gymer Alexandersson.
A heavy hitting EVO vet. He earned most of his hype in USFC before jumping into the big leagues and making some noise by going on a 6 fight
