"This Sunday Night Madness MMA invades Los Angeles, as the Kings of Madness is nearing its epic end. The Lightweight and Heavyweight Semi Finals are are up first as the four remaining fighters from each of these two division will meet, to decide the Finals. Today i will cover the Lightweights, which will take place at the  Hard Knocks Arena. One of the Favorites of the field "Doll Hands" Kendo Hirigushi will be headlining the event as he Meets Samuel "Budo" Nti who is fresh off his upset win over #1 seed Emilio Rojas in the Block A final. In are Block B final the #5 seed Elazar "Mensh" Shalit battles #2 seed Gianni Castellana. This card is loaded with great fights, one of which includes the winner of the Tribal Combat 1 Million $ Lightweight Tournament Emilio Rojas, who at 39 years of age may very well be leaving his gloves in the cage to end his illustrious career. Now lets take a peak at are two Semi Final fights!"

    vs   

Gianni Castellana(10-5-0)             Elazar Shalit(10-7-2) 

Gianni has finished both of his KOM tourny fights in dominant fashion, both of which where KO finishes. His opening round fight was against Ramazan Jainar who opened a nasty cut on Castellana early in the fight, but the New York Bad Ass fought through it with ease as he Laid out Janair around the 4 minute mark with a brutal Uppercut. Next up in his Quarter Finals match up he met Conor Twelve, who took it to Gianni, he just wasn't able to land anything of significance. Castellana dominated round one, and halfway through round two he found the opening he needed to land a on point Head Kick that crumpled Conor to the mat. No Follow ups are needed with this guy he simply flattens you once he finds the opening.

Elazar Shalit a former Scrap fights champion out of Dresden, Germany was equally impressive, and proved to be a dual threat with one TKO and one Submission finish. First up was Stanley Kubrick who was the #4 seed, and he had Shalit in trouble with his relentless ground and pound attack taking round 1. Round 2 started off with more of the same, but like a thief in the night, Shalit snuck a extremely tight Guillotine around Kubrick's neck and put him to sleep. Shalit then met Herbert Mullin in the Quarter finals, and this one was simply put a "Clinch massacre". Mullin just was not prepared for Shalit's superior Clinchwork, and took a lot of painful shots until the ref stopped the fight at the 4:26 mark of round #1. 

Both of these guys are very well balanced mixed martial artist, and also come from great fight teams. So i expect a nice game of chess in this one, possibly a decision but then again they have both looked incredible at finishing fights which is what MADNESS MMA is all about.

    vs    

Kendo Hirigushi(26-15-0)               Samuel Nti(31-13-0)

Fukushima, Japan's pride and joy known as "Doll Hands" has done it all here in this promotion, a former Featherweight Champion as well as the winner of the Featherweight 1 million $ Tourney. And now he looks to be crowned the Lightweight King of Madness. His path thus far has not been a easy one though, for instance his opening round match up pitted him against Larson Picker who was head hunting his way to a Unanimous Decision. Of course that was until those "Doll Hands" came out like Kung fu fury, i really don't think they got the punch count right at the end there, as i saw at least 70 unanswered shots land before the ref stopped it. Kendo then met Steven Petersen in his Quarter final bout, this match ended in a Unanimous Decision but what a fuckin war ! A war that earned both fighters "Fight of the night" bonuses. Just remember when the Doll Hands come out crazy mother fuckers get knocked out!

Samuel Nti may have had the toughest road of all four competitors, as he beat the two gentleman who will be in the Co-Main event by the way. In the Opening round he had the task of facing the #4 seed Edward Conan in a fight that Nti was bloodied up pretty good, as he took a hard fought Unanimous Decision. Nti then shocked the Madness MMA world as he took down the #1 seed of Block A Emilio Rojas in dominant style. Both of these warriors went out firing off shots like Maniacs, and with in the first 30 seconds they both had cuts opened up on each other. As the fight pushed past the one minute mark both fighters were still throwing bombs, anf neither fighter was looking to go to a decision . The rest will just let you take a look.

Nti feints and then winds up with a huge right hand that connects perfectly and sends Rojas sprawling to the canvas! Rojas rolls over backwards and springs off the cage and manages to regain his footing - how acrobatic! Oh, he's still wobbly - can Nti finish him?!

Rojas is rocked!
The crowd cheering loudly, showing their appreciation for the quality fight we're seeing here.
Nti cracks Rojas with a big right hand that sees him stumbling back against the cage! Rojas falls to his knees and Nti doesn't need a second invitatation - he rushes in and fires off several unanswered shots that force the referee to stop the fight! This one is all over!

Nti vs Hirigushi is gonna be a war just as the Block B fight is, but there is a lot of experience in this one that should be noted. Nti is a former Budokai Fighting Federation open-weight champion with an impressive 6 title defenses.  While Hirugushi was a promotional 145 pound champ here, as well as a CCF Lightweight champion, and a former KAMIKAZE Featherweight Kickboxing champion. Not to mention they have both been trained and managed under the same fight team since day one. This gon be a good one!
