 And NEW Welterweight Champion.............Gustav Harakka

Gustov Harakka joins Hjallis Kalske as the 2nd world champion hailing from Finland, here at Dynasty. He is also just the second Welterweight champion, as former champ Jaxon Magrath held the title since the Beginning. He did so in a well-played all-out war against another Former WW title challenger Raminus Polus for the Vacant belt. Raiminus did pretty well on his feet but really wanted to get the fight to the ground. This probably slowed him down in the long run as he failed to amount any offense there. In the end it was a close fight, but the judges saw it for Gustav for the Unanimous Decision.

 

3 Champions Defend their belts

Lightweight Championship

At Lightweight Jesse Pinkman proved that his first fight with Aubrey Grant was indeed no Fluke. Pinkman clearly won 4 out of 5 rounds but Grant was not making it easy by any means. Grants Knees to the body while in the clinch were very affective but the champ was eating them like a fat kid on cake. As he taunted Aubrey to feed him more. Both Fighters struggled to land on the feet, which was expected with these two well-conditioned athletes. Jesse landed a couple takedowns but couldn't pull off any of the Magic like he did in his last fight. Well-earned victory for Pinkman, giving him his 3rd Straight Title Defense as he begins his New Year on Top!

Featherweight Championship

Freshly Crowned Featherweight champ Sean O Malley was taken into the Championship rounds for the first time in his career, by Shigeru Otori. This fight was non-stop action from start to finish, as the two fighters had nearly 300 Strike attempts between them. OMalley started out well in the fight, winning round 1 but Shigeru quickly took Rounds 2 and 3. "Super" Sean knew he had to do something, and he had to do it soon. At the 1:27 mark of Round 4 he did so with a nasty Left hand sending the fiery Japanese star crashing down with an injury. This is OMalley's first title defense since upsetting the former 4-time champ Renji Abarai just 14 days ago. Not to mention this is his 15th win by TKO, that's that Street Fighter in him, fo sho!

Middleweight Championship

In are final Title fight it was a duel to the Death. Well maybe not that, but it was quite the game of chess as "The Steakhouse" man Macca Outba faced Salomon Mukunzi in The Main event of DMMA 161. Outback managed to record his second successful Title defense as he took a dreaded Split Decision Verdict over a tough challenger in Mukunzi. Round 1 had to be the deciding factor in my Opinion, as it was the only clear round of the fight. Outback is coming off a 10-2 year for 2022, Winning the Middleweight Title twice along the way. He will now be starting off 2023 with a win, and he looks to jump right back into the cage in 3 weeks. He will face current #1 Contender and former champ Kareem Johnson in a Rubber match for the belt at DMMA 164.

I want to give big props to all four of the Challengers who came up on the losing side of the title fights. Each and every fight was highly competitive and hope to see them all fighting for title Again.

One fight that wasn't very competitive this weekend was Adan Puno's 5 second Mass Murder of Yago Steve. I heard it killed the whole Steve family somehow. WOW!!!
