Kilo's Last Dance?

Fighter profile of Kilo Maluga by Chris Karter

Kilo Maluga often wishes he had hung up his gloves a little sooner.

   
One of the most accomplished fighters in SYN history, Maluga is a first round hall of famer given his many accomplishments in the SYN arena. He was the MMA Fighter of the Year in 2021 and he's on pace to accomplish that feat again. After smashing midgets left and right, Kilo reflects on his illustrious career, and he says looking back on it, he wishes he would of hung it up earlier.  
  "I barely made it to The Last Dance." Kilo states, reflecting on his final bout with his most notorious rival Conor The Barbarian at SYN 879. "My management team was pushing for that fight to take place a lot earlier because they started to notice a decline in my ability."  
  The SYN Heavyweight champion speaks like a machine, with an honest and unwavering assessment of his own ability.  
  "Father time is undefeated. I engaged in many unnecessary wars and accumulated countless injuries over the course of my career. Perhaps I should have listened to my coaches and smashed all my opponents in 30 seconds instead of paying the blood tribute, but where would the fun be in that? The fans deserve a show. I believe I've given them everything they wanted and more."  
  It's true, Kilo Maluga has fought the biggest and baddest fighters on planet earth. He's been in 57 sanctioned MMA fights and countless wars on the high seas in his home country of Kiribati. He's fought the likes of Kimbo Slice, Iain Tower, Conor The Barbarian, Rick Piano, Karim Johnson, Alexei Babinski, and who could forget the mighty Vunipola Veainu. But out of all his opponents, who packs the meanest punch?  
  "It's close between Rick Piano and Conor The Barbarian. Conor pays the blood tribute. His power is second only to yours truly. He is a worthy adversary and had it not been for our rivalry, I would have hung them up long before the Olympics."    
That's right folks. Kilo Maluga subtly reminds us that he's an Olympic Gold Medalist as he takes a swig of rum from a golden flask. A fighter known for being hellbent on revenge, Kilo entered the Olympics after slipping on a banana peel during his fight with Karim Johnson in a slipup that cost him his title, a fight that many pundits felt he underestimated his opponent.  
  "That theory is foolish. I was a fraction of myself entering that fight. I did not underestimate Karim Johnson, he just caught me that night. My camp had kept an eye on Karim for many years, touting him a future top prospect in the Heavyweight division, and my manager tried to recruit him to SFL but he pussed out to crush cans at GAMMA. Just like he pussed out the Olympics in the first round. That's why I had to crush him at Supernova XII."  
  As Kilo stares off into the horizon, a setting sunset over the glimmering Pacific ocean, he chuckles reflecting on his career. For a fighter who owns all the records, what's he fighting for? Is this his last fight?  
  "It's possible." Kilo says without a blink. "It may be the last training camp of my career, I will not lie about it. I will of course assess the situation with my camp and team, as always. With my management's ongoing legal battle, and the wear and tear on my body, it may be time to hang it up. If I do decide to call it a career, I want the fans to know that it's been fun. Good luck to my next opponent, let the blood tribute be paid in full."
