The Dragon of Dojima seizes the Suckerpunch MW Belt

Fighter profile of Kiryu Kazuma by Mattias Lundgren

Kazuma was a true dark horse in his early run with Team Lundgren going 4-5 within his first 9 fights it seemd like his destiny was to be like most of Team Lundgren's fighters, underwhelming and mixed but earlier this year Mattias Lundgren (13-3-0) refocused his teams training, truly focusing on the specialties of his fighters none of which had any particular talents and something seems to have struck a chord. Kazuma has quickly risen in rank going 5-0 most of which ended by KO or TKO, knocking out former champs Landon Mcguire and Nyah Hirst to reach a point where it was clear there was only one left in his way the longest running and two time champ Wanderson Machado. 

Team Lundgren could not turn down a title shot but in the face of such an opponent it seemd clear that they should focus on going the distance rather than winning the fight. Mr. Takahashi the spokesman for Team Lundgren had this to say

Mr. Takahashi: "Going into this fight we knew it was a Rocky 1 scenario, but always hoping for the best, we only let Kazuma-san watch Rocky II within the Rocky 1 VHS Cassette box, he was confused about the plot but took away the message we wanted." 

After intense weeks of intense training towards the highlight of not just Kazuma's career but Team Lundgren's as well the lights went down and no one could expect the next 1 minute and 26 seconds that all culminated in this following snippet

Kazuma drops Machado with a hook right on the temple. He thinks about going to the ground but Machado looks back up at him and smiles so Kazuma waves him back to his feet - he obviously thinks he can knock him out after that shot landed.
Oh Machado is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Wanderson Machado's cut is bleeding quite badly. He's got to try and protect it.
Machado leaves his chin hanging out and Kazuma seizes the opportunity with an uppercut! Machado crumbles to the floor in a heap, and the referee steps in and tends to the downed fighter! What a knockout!

And with that Kazuma did what seemed impossible, KO'ing Wanderson Machado and hearing those words AND NEW champion, The Dragon of Dojima. Ready to keep his reign at the top of the mountain Kazuma immediately went back to training and awaits his first defense.
