Euphegen Doubdtfire (Claymore Elite Combat) Vs Gareth Keenan (GAMMA)
Claymore Elite Combat was the host for a revolutionary fight as the number two pound for pound fighter in the world Euphegen Doubdtfire faced the number three Gareth Keenan. Both champions and true legends in every sense of the word. This battle was determined to bring forth the next number one pound for pound fighter in the world. Who would be the next big thing? Who would be next in line to rule over MMATycoon?
These two warriors met in the middle of the cage and there was no room for shenanigans as they went to work with a sense of elite pride and passion for the sport. No clowning around as the strikes they launched flashed by with impressive precision and with a speed that made them barely visible to the naked human eye.

GAMMA#692 Ridgeway v Diehard – 17 February
FINAL 135 title - Kira Miyata (c) Vs Karol Mirowski
After a shocking upset victory, 39 year old veteran and newly crowned Gamma bantamweight champion locked horns one more time with Karol Mirowski to complete the trilogy as they finished their rivalry in their third and final chapter.
Kira Miyata came on strong and did his best to keep the former champion in check but not soon after it became clear that it was the former champion and current challenger that was calling the shots. Shots were fired for sure as Karol Mirowski had quite a punch in his fists and his legs shot out like bullets fired from a shot gun. Kira Miyata had a lot of trouble bringing the challenger to the ground and before he knew it, that was all she wrote. The fat lady had sung and that song was a chant of victory as Karol Mirowski was crowned bantamweight champion one last time. As his newly crowned title fades away and classifies itself as obsolete, Karol Mirowski will have quite a chance to prove himself as he takes on a man that returns to Gamma for the first time in months and the first time this year, featherweight champion Gareth Keenan.
Winner: Karol Mirowski by unanimous decision.
155 title - Mathew Ridgeway (c) Vs Bruce Diehard
Bruce "B A M F" Diehard continues to ride the lightweight train as he takes on Mathew Ridgeway in a battle for lightweight supremacy. All aboard for a new and exciting chapter in the Gamma lightweight express! Choo choo!
While Bruce Diehard’s strategy consisted of nothing more than punches in bunches like he was on a bullet train to victory, champion Mathew Ridgeway took his time softening up the challenger and it paid out in the end as the tortoise beat the hare in a fight that was close, yet not that close.
Winner: Mathew Ridgeway by unanimous decision.
GAMMA#693 Volkov vs Shin 5 – 24 February
170 title - Ilya Mstislav Volkov (c) Vs Lao Shin
Some things never change, apparently so as Ilya Mstislav Volkov and Lao Shin duke it out for the fifth and for the moment final time. These two are so closely matched in the cage that it is quite astonishing to see that their skill sets are different in some ways and yet so similar when closely inspected. Both fighters are purebred workhorses and both of them have some serious horsepower in their punches but they don’t just go out there swinging for the fences. They step into that cage with a clear goal in mind and a meticulously planned out strategy that they are set to follow to the letter as they know that even the slightest deviation can prove fatal. They have also become true masters of the game, not only in their own craft but in all aspects of the sport that we call mixed martial arts. What would they bring to the table now as they have left it all out in the open and with no more special tricks lurking in the shadows?
Another brawl for all this was, they traded leather and kicked the crap out of each other with such style and grace that even one perfectly timed strike could end the fight at any point in time. So it shall be written, so it shall be done. Ilya Mstislav Volkov swung an ugly left hook that hit nothing but air and Lao Shin stung right back with so crisp a jab that it had the champion seeing stars. In a desperate attempt to survive the champion flailed and unfortunately for him also failed to land a hard body blow. Another counter - this time a deadly right hand from the heavens - sent the champion crashing to the canvas.
Winner: Lao Shin by TKO (strikes) after 4 minutes and 48 seconds in the second round.
GAMMA#694 Bubba v Simmons – 24 February
155 superfight - Tony Ramos (GAMMA) Vs Volya Nikolaev (CEC)
Tony Ramos came out strong with a passion to prove himself for his newly found home in Gamma but when the fight hit the ground, there was no stopping Volya Nikolaev. Tony Ramos started swinging hammer fists like there was no tomorrow but tomorrow came sooner than expected as Volya Nikolaev put him to sleep with a slick guillotine submission.
Winner: Volya Nikolaev by submission (guillotine) after 3 minutes and 41 seconds in the first round.
265+ title - Bubba Gumption (c) Vs Brandon Simmons
Social media can be a great tool for promotion but people can be brutal when anonymity is promised. Brandon Simmons learned quite quickly that people online can sometimes be even more brutal than the people he faces in the cage. That was until he stepped into the cage with Bubba Gumption. The champion simply dominated from start to finish. Every blow to the body of Brandon Simmons struck deep into his bones, every blow to the skull rattled him and when blood was drawn it was the beginning of the end.
Winner: Bubba Gumption by KO (punch) after 3 minutes and 53 seconds in the first round.
