With Host Mister Madness
The LOM Tournament heads into week 3 with the remaining 8 Lightweight competitors looking to advance to the Quarter finals and get one more win in for there respective teams. Week 1 was a Submissions delight, while week 2 brought the PAIN with 4 straight KO finishes. What will be in store for this weeks LOM event? One thing is for sure this one looks stacked with talent. Lets get this Preview underway MISTER MADNESS style.
Match #1 Etimoni Founuku vs Captain Tessin
Late replacement Etiomoni Founuku a strapping young lad was giving the option to have his opponent selected second this week and he and Coah Hardman selected Team Marky's remaining LW fighter Captain Tessin.
Founuku hails from an Unknown region of New Zealand and has recently moved to the City that never sleeps to begin his MMA conquest. He is training at Xtreme Black House which is ran by his Manager Master Leader. Etimoni is a Brown belt in BJJ and will most certainly look to utilize his Jitz in this one.
Tessin will be looking to get Team Marky on the scoreboards after back to back losses. A native of Naples, Bulgaria, The Cap now calls Hilo, Hawaii his home where he trains with the rest of the Tessin gang and Head Honcho Master Tessin. Captain has a Superb wrestler and a Bulgarian brute to say the least.
Only one Master will prevail in this one gents!
Match #2 Frankie DeLuna vs Patrick Mahomes
Team Clubber and Lightweight Frankie Deluna did not have many options to chose from but they felt there best option was Patrick Mahomes of Team Alfred.
With Team Clubber already advancing two fighters in Damnation and Rai, Deluna looks to make it 3 for 3. Frankie is originally from Antananarivo, Madagascar and has recently relocated to Rio de Janeiro as a he joins his Team and Manager Darren Russell at Alpha Brasil . DeLuna has a balanced attack but his ground game looks to be his strength.
His opponent will be Patrick Mahomes of St. Joseph, Missouri. Yes, the 2020 Superbowl MVP is now 18 years old and looking to be a future MMA champion. A pupil of Joe River, Mahomes now trains with the River team in New York at Rivers Edge Gym . Mahomes also has a Diverse skill set but looks to edge Frankie in the Standup.
This one i have a feeling wont go the distance(Of course not many have lol)
Match #3 Pierre Emerick Aubeaumeyang vs Truly Dangerous
Team Billy got there first win last week and snatched the first fight selection in the process, Coach Billy choose Team McSweeney's remaing LW Truly Dangerous to face Pierre Emerick.
Pierre hails from Libreville, Gabon and has traveled to Montreal for his MMA training. Aubeaumeyang is a member of the Beau Banks fight team and has a vastly improving bag of tricks in his arsenal. Pierre is an average boxer but his ground game looks to be his bread and butter.
Truly Dangerous of Los Angeles, Califorina decided to leave Cali behind as he moved to Montreal to pursue a career in MMA. He started training at The Heart of the BloodBath gym where he met Benjamin Halle who instantly took a liking to the youngster. The Muay Thai specialist will need to to be truly dangerous and score the first win for his team in the process.
There could very well be a legit sleeper in this fight right here.
Match #4 Johnny Billabong vs Fili Disson
The final two Lightweights will face off as Team Actions Fili Disson looks to pick up his teams first W but it wont be no easy task as he faces off with Johnny Billabong of Team King.
Billabong hopes to join his two teammates in the Quarter finals of LOM but he may have the hardest road of the three. Australian BJJ brown belt, Billabong comes from a very good team and is managed by a tycoon legend in G-Wadimus. Training at GWad's Playpen in Montreal, can "Jolly" Johnny keep the Team King run of dominance intact.
Fili is the brother of Birth of a Warrior contestant Kil Disson who also fights this weekend. He trains at his manager Don Xyel's gym in Las Vegas known simply as CT. Disson is a accomplished wrestler with a improving BJJ game, Grappling Coach Shelby Hancock of the CT gym told me he is similar to the Tazmanian Devisl in his small stature and relentless attacks.
I wont lie these two gents could have very well have been meeting in the finals but this is the kinda MADNESS, the League of Madness brings to the table.
Crucial week 3 as we head into the final week of Team Picks. are remaining Welterweights will be on the clock next as we look to head into the Quarter finals of the competition. Best of luck to all the fighters!
This has been a pleasure, don't forget to support your local jester MMA fans!
