Contenders Weekly Washdown

18/10/22

Welcome to this week's Contender's Weekly Washdown! We here at Crazy Horse media want to ensure our fans across the world are able to keep up to date with the latest news in a variety of formats, to keep things fresh. You'll just never know if it'll be a newsletter summarising the week or an event preview/review or interpretive dance that will be keeping you all up to date and on the edge of your seats for the latest Dynasty Contenders news. This week we will shamelessly emulate our friends at Heartless FC with a written rundown of recent events. They steal your our hearts, we steal their newsletter formats!

Card Results - Our first draw! Upsets! First title shots announced! First call up to Dynasty main!

Only one card for the week gone, the excellent DC 2: Segura vs Jello.

This card saw our organisation's first ever draw in our opening fight between Curtis Rome and Senger Line. These two seem destined to forever have their fates intertwined, as this fight, their first in MMA, was actually the second time they had met in competition. Both are avid grapplers and actually met in the finals of TWGC 35 in the 145/D2 class where Line snatched the victory of the day. The draw marked Rome's 2nd draw in the last 3 fights, and sparked an immediate request from Line's manager Pablo Spezziale for a rematch! This is certainly a fight that will be run back in the future so keep your eye out for that!

Other fights saw some close results with Kursiwa going down by split decision to Bogo, Thrawn taking the majority decision vs Panda, and a back and forth fight of the night between Pauschi and White ending with a submission win for White.

Eyes though were fixed on Santino vs Duggan as Duggan put on a great well-rounded performance to stun Santino and get a first round Americana finish. Duggan, considered an underdog by most, snaps a 5 fight losing streak with his submission of the night.

Upsets continued into our main event with perhaps the slight favourite Rick Segura succumbing to a smothering performance by Jello Belly - who is now the first Contender fighter to get called back up for a fight in Dynasty Main as he takes on Jach Bresnar at DMMA 153. Rick Segura now finds himself unemployed, but there are rumours there is a contract extension on the table if he finds new management.

Bold performances and a title callout also saw Grand Admiral Thrawn (205lb vs Orel 12/11) and Ed Bridger (145lb vs Hanma 6/11) awarded with inaugural title shots within Dynasty Contenders. More news to come regarding other titles including published rankings, so stay tuned to see where your favourite fighters are ranked!

Finally, our sole knockout finish of the night went to Butch's very own Arturo Ellacuria with a massive combo into an uppercut finish. This rounded off our awards for the night with his impressive 33 second KO being an org record, which brings me to the next part...

Dynasty Contender Records

From this point onwards, we will be tracking results for the following organisational records:

🥊 FASTEST KO: Arturo Ellacuria, 145 lb (0:33)
🥋 FASTEST SUB: Jim Duggan, 170lb (1:58)
🗿 IRON CHIN: Uncle Abner, 265 lb (34 head strikes absorbed without a knockdown/being KO'd)
🕹️ CLUTCH FINISH: Lee Stephens, 185 lb (KO win at 4:59 in round 3)

Iron Chin counts how many head shots (elbows/kicks/knees/combos all count as 1 also) a fighter has taken in one fight without being knocked down or rocked. If that record holder is knocked down or KO'd in their next fight, their opponent gets a bonus $1000 cheque!

Clutch finish is for the latest finish within a fight. Our current record holder already holds the maximum result for a 3 round fight, but can others match that and will we see later finishes with our title fights?
