 Heartless Special 1 – Preview
Welcome, Fight Fans, as we head back into the Hard Knocks Arena for the first edition of a new type of HFC Event! Get ready for the first ever Heartless Special! We’re going to give you a quick rundown of the main card for Saturday Night, introducing new faces and continuing the meteoric rise of Heartless Fighting Championship!
265lb 3x5 Bout
Robbie Lyle (ENG) vs Mohamed El Shaarawy (EGY)
Fresh off his ‘double bonus’ performance at HFC 1 “Crucial” Robbie Lyle is out on the quick turnaround to parlay that momentum with another highlight reel KO. Alex Pereira competing in the main event of this same card, vouches for Lyle’s skills; and while he wishes him luck, he also says he won’t need it.
Sharing the cage with Lyle is the debuting fighter Mohamed “The Phenomenal” El Shaarawy. The Egyptian-born fighter would love NOTHING more than to derail Robbie Lyle’s hype in his first day on the job. Debuting fighters are always dangerous in the fact that not much is known about their skillset, and you can’t expect any gameplan from them. If El Shaarawy catches Lyle by surprise, it could be an upset for the ages!
265lb 3x5 Bout
Ryan Pullman (CAN) vs Brad Hartwell (CAN)
Our next matchup contains two Canadian training partners, that’s right! Both representing The Hartwell Dungeon, these two newly minted pros have agreed to put up their 0 against each other and that’s enough to get anyone’s attention. Not to mention, both guys are coming off gruesome KO victories, Pullman with his Howitzer of a right hand put his last opponent to the mat twice in the same minute, with the second one turning his lights out for the win. Hartwell, on the other hand, utilized surgical timing to take his opponent down and then let loose a torrential downpour of strikes until the ref pulled him off. It’s a clash of styles between two extremely heavy hitting big boys that you will NOT want to miss!
185lb 3x5 Bout
Bronson Tierney (USA) vs Alair Conealy (USA)
Our next bout features a potential mat classic! “The Crusader” Bronson Tierney has carved himself a fantastic 5-1 record on the QFC circuit by way of 5 first round submissions. After putting pen to paper a short while ago for HFC, he finds himself in the main card mix at 185lbs. Can The Crusader pop and lock his way to the top of the division? His opponent might have something to say about that.
Enter Alair Conealy, a standout wrestler and former opponent of one half of our main event, Alair is probably tired of seeing himself getting knocked out during the airing of our hype package for the main event. Luckily for him, he gets a chance to add some highlights of his own and possibly win himself a rematch with Pereira down the line?
135lb 3x5 Co-Main Event
Nimjal Configuracion (IND) vs RiGyu Jang (KOR)
If you thought Ronnie Lyle’s turnaround was quick, then Nimjal Configuracion’s is QUICK! The man just fought at HFC 2 a few days ago only to find himself working in the Co-Main for Heartless Special 1! Just like last week, Cyborg will be looking to score early and often with his Kickboxing and hopefully it serves him as well as it did last time because his opponent is a huge step up!
Korean grappling ace, RiGyu Jang is coming to rain on the Nimjal parade, with smothering takedowns and crushing ground strikes, Bomberman will be looking to get this fight to the ground early, before going Bombs Away onto his opponent’s head.
185lb 5x5 Main Event
Frankie Griggs (USA) vs Alex Pereira (BRA)
Now for the Main Event! There’s been a lot of buzz around this particular bout, particularly after both fighters were interviewed and pulled zero proverbial punches about how they felt about their opponent’s chances. Griggs and Pereira have both made it very clear that they’re looking to put the other’s lights out in what promises to be an absolute firefight and worth the ticket price no matter how short the actual bout is! These men have been granted the first ever 5 round main event in HFC, which is historic to say the least, but something tells me they won’t be needing 5 rounds.
