 G’Day I’m Julian “The Jackal” Wallace (Your parent’s favorite fighter) and I’m tasked with looking through the stacked Empire roster to figure out what’s the biggest upcoming fights and who’s the rising prospects.
First I wanna look through the 145 division (for no reason at all). Rankings are not out until the 145GP Grand Finale takes place between the 2 young undefeated fighters, 4-0 “Slick” Steve Barnes Vs 3-0 “Troublesome” Matthew Fritz. Fighters who seem like they’re going to cause havoc in their division in the near future, but who will come out on top between them?
Straying away from that big fight. One person in the 145 division who caught my eye was 7-0 Ricardo "Monkey Style" Morra Jr. Ricardo entered the Empire just a month ago and has ran through all 4 of his opponent’s, finishing each one and most of them ending in the first round.
I even feel like Ricardo could have a chance beating me! (don’t count on it though), and I believe Ricardo could be a great danger for champion, Aiden Trapp.

Now for the 170 division. Big fight coming up soon between 6-1 Champion Ricardo “The Soca Warrior” Miles vs 2-0 #1 Contender Jubei Akechi. Though there is a 6 fight difference between the 2, they are incredibly well matched up skills wise, both holding purple belts in BJJ, Ricardo Miles holds the wrestling advantage while Jubei has the better stand up, knocking out former champion Michael Howardson in the first round. Also quickly on the rise is #7 young 6-0 Frank "The Legion" Morrison who just recently knocked out now #8 Elam Armis in a matter of just 26 seconds, saying a little while after "6-0 now & it was my easiest fight to date HAH! It was music to my ears to hear my opponent beg the ref to stop the fight. He was lucky this wasn't on the streets... *HAHAHA*". He scares me...

Moving now to the 205 division. We have another big title fight coming up between 4-0 Champ Joe "Levels" Dinapoli Vs 5-0 #2 Contender Hunter Broderick. These 2 are probably some of the best 205 fighters coming from 360k, both undefeated and in their last 6 fights (combined) none of them made it past the first round. Joe has just recently become champion after knocking out #1 Contender Hatebreed Rebel in 43 seconds. Meanwhile Hunter has been getting first round finishes against #9 Chod Piiice, #5 Mauricio Payne, and #4 Jerome Biggs.
Now for who caught my eye. For once I have a prospect who isn’t undefeated.
I want to look at is 3-1 #7 Hinski Grang. Though not the best record compared to everyone else and also only having one fight with the Empire. He has quickly cemented himself here with a quick 10 second knock out in his Empire debut, only to then also call out #4 ranked Jerome Biggs saying he wants to destroy him, in a post fight interview shortly after his fight. He then also took to buzz at Jerome claiming he wants to knock him out, It’s been a while since I’ve seen someone want a fight so much, but his hands back him up, with all 3 of his wins being by KO in the first round and 2 of them lasting less than a minute (Kinda like a younger me… But nowhere near as good looking). Though he could lose his next few fights and this prospect might be a miss, I’m intrigued to see where his future goes.

And finally the 265 division. There is a good fight to look out for, 3-2 Wonderful wrestler and #2 Contender Arnold Kallas Vs 1-0 #7 Tarvaris “Meat Eater” Fulton. Arnold has shown his skills throughout his five fights in the Empire, but recently coming on the rise after his debut is Tavaris Fulton knocking out his first victim Lucas Ardin in only 26 seconds, the 2 will be facing off and it will be interesting to see the result of this match.
9-1 Champion Buster Gruff seems unstoppable right now. But there is one person right now who Buster might need to look out for, 2-0 #3 Deon Big Daddy. Deon has shown his incredible KO power and clinch fighting in his 2 fights in the Empire, and that only seems to be the tip of the iceberg as apparently he’s a purple belt in BJJ, an interesting match for the champ.
