 "King's of Madness" Lightweights Preview with host Douche McBaggins


" Hello you Mad Mfers It's great to be back with Madness MMA. Some of you may already be familiar with my work, if your not though I am MMMA's first, and favorite Drunken Journalist(Mister Madness, who teh fook is dat guy?). Today we Will take a in-depth look at the Kings of Madness Lightweight Tournament. 16 of the toughest and most violent Lightweights will compete to see who truly is the King of the Madness Lightweights. We will be looking at all 8 opening round matchups from Block A and Block B. So let's get this show on the road so I can start pouring these pints down the hatch!

Block B 


 

 

#2 Gianni  Castellana     vs #7 Ramazan Jainar

Ramazan Jainar: Janiar has 34 pro fights and is slightly ahead as he has won 18 of them. The impressive part is 17 of those where by Knock Out, add in 5 "KO of the Night" and 2 "Fight of the Night" bonuses and you got yourself a entertaining go for broke style of fighter in Ramazan. The former Syn vet has also had some troubles being KO'd himself. Hence the"Go for broke" tag but he simply separates the Men from the Boys. I surely hope that's a milk Stache he is wearing btw.

Gianni Castellana: Castellana is the youngest competitor of the Lightweights at just 26 years of age. Much like his opponent he also brings the pain by way of Knock Out with 7 of 8 of his victories ending in vicious KO fashion. Gianni is a former JAG and Skrap fights veteran and has won 3 out of his last 4 fights, including a second round KO in his Madness MMA debut. An interesting fact about Castellana is he holds a Black belt in BJJ but it is most used in his defense so far, but something to watch for is his improving ground game.


    #3 Monte Cassino   vs    #6 Brian Ortega

Brian Ortega: Ortega is a former Skrap fights LW Champion and holds a 2-2 in Madness MMA. "T-CITY" is a good grappler and is always a threat if it goes to the ground, 13 of his 17 pro victories are by way of various submissions. He has also managed to rack up 7 "Sub of the Night" bonuses most recently his win over Ethan Irwin whom he submitted in round 2 by Rear naked choke. Brian has recently changed  management Teams and this will be his first fight under Arthur Bucks .

Monte Cassino: Cassino is a long time vet of Madness MMA parent Org PFC and a former Featherweight champion early in his career with KOFC. Monte is 0-1 here loosing his debut fight against Philip Ziskie by Unanimous Decision. The Italian born fighter is a point fighter and of his 35 pro fights 30 of them have gone to a Decision. Monte has also recently switched managers as he looks to get his first W under Theo Doro .


   #4 Stanley Kubrick   vs   #5 Elazar Shalit

Elazar Shalit: Yet another former Skrap fights champion in Shalit as he enters the mix at Lightweight, this German Fighter is looking to bounce back after suffering 3 straight losses. Elazar is one of the more well rounded fighters in the competition with 3 (T)KO's, 3 Subs, and 2 Decision victories to his credit. "Mensh" has fought some top opposition during his 3 fight loosing streak, and at 29 years of age I won't be shocked one bit if he makes some noise in this Tournament.

Stanley Kubrick: Kubrick on the other hand is looking to keep a two fight winning streak going, both of which where finishes. Stanley is a former RISE Featherweight champion which he won early in his pro career.  Known for his Knock Out abilities, Kubrick has won 12 of his 13 victories by way of (T)KO. The 31 year old native of London now resides in Los Angeles where he trains under his Sensei Jay Stanley .


   #1 Von Magnaron    vs    #8 Jax Thomas

Jax Thomas: Thomas was the final qualifying Lightweight competitor, and recently a PFC and PANDA fights vet. Like many others he also is a former champion, in fact he may very well have the most Title defenses of all the participants. He had 5 straight Title defenses for then ow defunct Iron Man Fight Club (315k+) in 2018. The 33 year old Philadelphia native has also notched an astonishing 22 (T)KO victories as well as 9 "of the Night" bonuses in his 45 fight career.

Von Magnaron: Magnaron a one time Pulse FC Lightweight champion had a impressive Tribal Combat(Madness predecessor) debut when he took a Unanimous Decision victory over Don Gotti. Von at 39 years of age has also racked up some bonuses, 6 (FOTN), 4 (SOTN) and 1 (KOTN). "The Professional" is one of a few near the age of 40 guys in the KOM Tournaments looking to prove they still have what it takes. Von is the #1 seed in Block B.

Block A


   #2 Kendo Hirigushi   vs   #7 Larson Picker *Fight of the Night pick*

Larson Picker: Picker a former Devastation Fighting Championship (290k+) Lightweight champion, is looking to snap a 2 fight loosing skid and is now 6-4 since joining this org, which has rebranded just 3 times. Larson Started his career as a feared striker but in his recent years has adapted to point fighting in the later rounds. Hailing from Montreal he is one of the most experienced fighters on the Madness roster with 53 pro fights, and at 38 years of age hasn't shown much of a slow down.

Kendo Hirigushi: Hirigushi is a highly decorated fighter, a former two time CCF Lightweight Champion as well as holding the FW strap right here. Kendo most recently won the 1 Million $ Tribal Combat Featherweight Tournament beating the likes of Edward Conan and The Reverend Jim Ignatowski. "Doll Hands" now takes aim at the KOM Lightweight Tournament and has got to be one of the favorites. Hirigushi is also a former KT fighter and I expect an excellent bought with picker.



   #3 Herbert Mullin    vs    #6 Steven Peterson

Steven Petersen: Peterson is a recent addition to the LW field coming over  from PANDA fights where he was a former title challenger. Steven looks to jump back in the winners circle in his debut here after dropping his previous two bouts. Aside from his alliance with the legendary FinnFighters group, Peterson has a fairly balanced style with 9 (T)KO's and 6 Decision victories. The 36 year old Portland based fighter has garnered 4 performance bonuses as well.

Herbert Mullin: Mullin is a 5 fight vet with the TC banner attached and started very strong going 4-0 before loosing to Emilio Rojas in the TC 1 Million $ Lightweight Tournament final. Herbert is another former Skrap LW Champ as well as BFC Open-weight champ. Mullin a versatile striker seems to be in the Prime of his career and has recently found a new rising manager in the name of Loocus Kramer . These two could very well be a recipe for greatness.


    #4 Edward Conan    vs    #5 Samuel Nti

Samuel Nti: Nti a 35 year old Ghanaian native is a former BFF Open-weight champ and had an impressive 4 fight title Defense streak with the org, slaying some Giants! Samuel has gained a huge following in MMA as he has nearly cracked top ten status p4p reaching as high as 11 in the rankings. A former Welterweight competitor here Budo" looks to now do some damage at Lightweight. Samuel is a long time Member of Alfred Top Team and protege of Alfred Winterbottom.

Edward Conan: Conan has the most fights with the now Madness MMA promotion going 7-4 in his 11 fights here and also winning the Featherweight strap at one point. Edward is a BJJ Black belt but is known to have heavy hands which is evident by his 8 (T)KO victories. Like his counterpart, Conan has been with his Manager Whymer Van Mastodon since day one and this 28 year old is still progressing as a Mixed Martial Artist every day.


      #1 Emilio Rojas      vs      #8 Atanase Teodor

Atanase Teodor: Teodor has held Titles with 3 separate promotions, one of which was the Original Madness MMA which was later called HELLBENT Combat Club. At 42 years of age this Romanian Fighter has had a great MMA Career as he enters the twilight stage. "Rebel" is a ruthless striker with 20 KO wins and a couple performance bonuses to go with. Atanase is one of several Petro Sohitto  managed fighters along with fellow KOM competitor Larson Picker on the roster.

Emilio Rojas: Rojas surprisingly hasn't held a title in his 42 fight Career but has indeed gained some much needed notoriety recently winning the Tribal Combat 1 million $ Lightweight Tournament. The 38 year old Colombian Fighter is now having a late surge in his career as he has rallied off 4 straight (T)KO victories in route to his recent Tournament win. Much of this could be to his recent changes in management now with Clubber Winger. Emilio is the #1 seed in Block A.

12 out of 16 of these Gentlemen has at some point been a MMA champion. What a field of Lightweights we have  in store for the "Kings of Madness".

Time has now come to bid you adieu and pour a round or 8. Stayed the Middleweight "Kings of Madness" will be next week!
