Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome back for another action packed event for MMA Tycoons oldest Fight Organization Canadian Fighting Championships.   CFC 508 is coming to you live from The Underground in Montreal following up a successful return to Pro fighting with CFC 508.   Once again today we are expecting upwards of 1000 rabid Canadian Fight fans to stagger their way through the doors to take in tonight's action.  Tonights event has a good mix of rookie fighters making their pro debuts, some who have enjoyed both amateur and pro fights and others who are well on their way to seeking gold within CFC based on their previous results.   As always make sure you run down to PWNAGE™ located on the Los Angeles stop of the High Street for all your Fighters clothing needs and to fulfill their supplement needs there is no better place than White Gorilla located right here in Montreal! For those who enjoy putting their money where their mouths are, pop on over to 2 Headed Betting to place your wagers on your favorite CFC fighters while you still can, I know I will!!


Main Event - 185 lbs Edmond Chabazian vs Adam Lenz



Our Main Event showcases a matchup between two of our top middleweights both boasting undefeated records thus far in their Tycoon careers.   Chabazian is a BJJ specialist who has tapped his first two opponents on the amateur tour and then took his last opponent to the judges scorecards by dominating the fight on the ground.  Standing across the cage from him is Lenz who also has shown a tendency to rely on his submission game as both of his amateur victories were achieved by submission.  Both of these fighters are very evenly matched up with Chabazian holding a very slight reach advantage and also carrying slightly more weight however that should be a negligible amount.  One area of concern however for Lenz may be with his morale as it is significantly lower than his opponent, his manager definitely needs to make a purchase at PWNAGE™ and get him out of those plain and morale draining whites.   This one is so hard to call as both fighters hold very similar TD success rates and poor TDD results, whoever gets that first TD is likely going to ride this one to victory.  My money is on Chabazian only due to the morale advantage, by way of second round submission.



Co-Main Event - 205 lbs Antonio Prilla vs Juan Armador



In our Co Main Event we see the first of two LHW fights that will surely set the stage for bragging rights for the top of the division and a future shot at the Gold.  Much like our Main Event we see two fighters who are both undefeated thus far and will be looking to keep it that way.  Prilla comes into this one boasting a 2-0 record with both wins coming via brutal KOs.  On the other side of the cage we have Armador whose main skill is his Boxing however he did not show off much of that in his initial amateur fight that saw him climb back from brutal headkick knockdown early in the fight however his intelligence was on display seeing him change levels and drag the fight to the ground where he locked onto a slick kimura for the victory.  Prilla enjoys a 4 year advantage in age which also means a potential skill advantage as well however that morale, good lord he needs a laundromat something fierce here or like we mentioned previously a trip down to PWNAGE™ to get himself some new threads!  Armador is low in morale also but still enjoys the advantage in that department.  I think even with the morale disadvantage Prilla’s power and killer instinct will prevail here tonight and he will expose Armador’s suspect chin and continue his winning ways with another devastating KO that will be a leading candidate to take home the Knock Out of the night award!!



205 lbs Dan Ramkins vs Deppa Don



Next up we have our second consecutive Light Heavyweight showdown between what appears to be a pair of combatants who as of press time appear to be heading towards entering the cage at well below 100% energy.  Ramkins enjoys a distinct height and reach advantage when compared to the shorter Don.  Don will also be entering the cage tonight suffering from the morale disadvantage, does nobody know who to keep their threads clean and smelling fresh these days??  In his amateur debut Ramkins showed some vicious clinch work skills making very quick work of his opponent utilizing his combination of skilled knees and KO power.  On the other side of the cage Deppa Don comes in with Solid boxing skills and a Granite chin however that same chin was exposed by a brutal headkick, perhaps the heart is not there to match the chin for poor Don?   Given the fact that Ramkins also possesses nasty KO power I am worried about Don’s fate if the fight remains on the feet.  If he can get this one down to the ground he might be saved to fight another day!  Ramkins is just at the weight limit for this one which could derail his plans if his gas tank empties too quickly on him, but I doubt it will come into play tonight.  Based on previous results my moneys on Ramkin staying the course, taking Don out with his skilled clinch game and setting the stage for fireworks in the 205 lbs division in the very near future and a chance to lay claim to a shot at CFC gold!



265 lbs Anthony Prilla vs John Akamu



In our next matchup we make a stop to see the big boys throw down in the 265 lbs division,  this one sees another of the Prilla brothers step into the CFC cage along with a 2-0 record to take on newcomer and untested Akamu.  Prilla boasts a Granite Chin, an attribute he will definitely need when dancing with the killers that Heavyweight surely will have to offer to go along with the accuracy only legends can dream of, as he has yet to miss on a single standing strike attempt.  Akamu on paper has the advantage in Muay Thai but that's really all we know about this guy other than his lack of stylish threads as he seems to prefer plain and boring white clothing combos over more appealing and presentable fight kits.  On paper the assumption is Prilla will hold the speed advantage tonight but chances are the drop in morale may very well nullify that or any advantage he may possess which could be his undoing.  This one is so tight right down the middle and could go either way, virtually a coin flip to decide the victor however our money remains on Prilla and his Granite Chin to prevail in this showdown late in round 3 with a devastating headkick.


155 lbs Viktor Chaney vs Aleksandr Abakumov



Our final matchup on the main card sees a pair of lightweight fighters looking to enjoy victory for the first time inside a CFC cage after enjoying victories on the amateur scene.  Both fighters are very even on the physical side of the tale of the tape with a mere 2 cm’s and 1 lbs separating them however both will come into this one well below 80% energy, looks like their representatives failed to time the lead up to today very well which will certainly have a direct effect on the outcome today as they race to see who can maintain fuel in the tank the longest without a quick dump leading to embarrassment.   Chaney is a year older in age but not in experience as Aleksandr enjoyed an undefeated run to victory in the QFC tourney his management team set him up in, clearly they knew what strings to pull to guide him to four consecutive victories, will they be able to once again today knowing he will square off with less gas in the tank at fight time.  Chaney on the other hand has been a bit of a handful during fight week as he is clearly unstable and a total wild card, even his management team is boasting how crazy they know he will be tonight when the cage door closes, lets just hope we dont need any straight jackets to keep him under control after the winners hand is raised.  Another total coin flip here however given the experience advantage our money is on seeing Abakumov extending his win streak to 5 and laying claim to the top end of the Lightweight division.
