This Saturday Night in LA Dynasty MMA has got yet another brilliant Lineup of fights from top to bottom. The PPV Main Card will be topped off with a couple Top Ten Middleweight Contenders in a fight that shall be filled with Violence and Vulgarity. Newcomer Chukwu Adeoluwa makes his DMMA debut as he steps on the CO-Main and meets former Bantamweight Title challenger Kratos Karumaa. Probably the biggest name on this card is DMMA Hall of Famer
Jaxon Magrath who sits in a very unfamiliar position losing 3 of his last 4 fights as he returns to the W/C he used to rule over with the hopes of getting his legacy back on track.
Dynasty MMA is proud to be named the 2023 ID restricted org and I would like to thank everyone for their votes. Also, a big shout out to ENIGMA and Bellicose they both had amazing years as well, much love and respect.
Now, enough of this sentimental shite, let me wipe the tears from my cold-blooded eyes and get down to the Vigilante Violence and Vicious Vulgarity that is DMMA 185!

Main Card
Bantamweight Division
Boris Yeltsin Jr vs Brett Shoenfeld
We get things started on the Pay Per View Main Card with a Bantamweight scrap with two fighters with Championship History outside the DMMA Banner.
Boris Yeltsin Jr is a onetime Enigma Bantamweight Champion being 1 of just 3 men to hold a win over Stuart Burrows. He beat bowers for the 135-pound strap back at ENIGMA 93 via Unanimous Decision. Yeltsin is from a little village known as Dagestan where they train their young'ns to wrassle as soon as they can pee standing up, although some actually skip the standing up process and get straight to the takedowns. Boris is now 2-0 since his DMMA Debut as he inches closer to another championship.
Brett Shoenfeld has a storied History as a late bloomer to the sport he was part of the Island Season 12 cast where he captured the IXF Bantamweight strap in his 9th pro fight. Once his departure from the Island he immediately signed with Highland and shocked the MMA world by beating Kazuo Takashi for the Higland BW title. Brett captured the Higland belt one more time at Highland 112 and went on to have a stellar Highland career before the Orgs closure. Brett is now 1-1 with DMMA coming off a Submission of the Night performance and with a win here against a young up and comer we could see Brett rocket himself into a potential #1 contender fight next.
Welterweight Division
Ralph Hall vs
Jaxon Magrath
Hall of Famer Jaxon Magrath's struggles have been a shocker but now at his natural weight Class hopes are High as he meets a former Title contender in Hall in his return to Welterweight.
Ralph "The Wizard" Hall is a legit Submission Specialist winning 15 of his 17 victories with a Sub finish. Hall has also struggled as of late losing three of his last 4 as well, but he has been in a Main Event title fight in that run. Unfortunately, for him it was a 1rst round KO loss to the current 170-pound champ Gustav Harakka.. Ralph though is a dangerous threat to anyone on the ground, picking up wins over Segundo Garcia, Marcus Alexander, and Boyka Kersikov. Hall a former Welterweight champ back in his early days in Rock FC was originally trained under the legendary BJJ trainer Arcalimon the Coach and has used his mentor's knowledge wisely over his career.
The once Unstoppable force known as Jaxon Magrath has not looked himself and the move to 155 turned out to be the wrong move for now. Magrath jumped right into the Deep Waters which was the right move considering his accolades but in his debut against the now champ-champ Jesse Pinkman he struggled to get anything going. He was taken down and submitted late in the first round in a fight I assume he would want back at some point, for now though it's time to prove that he is indeed the most prolific fighter in DMMA History. His 12 consecutive Title Defenses still to this day stands as a Promotional record and three of those 12 were to the current champ Harakka,
Superheavyweight Division
Julio Christ vs Don Cortez
Julio Crist made his DMMA debut in February with a bang TKOing Ghengis Khan inside the first round of their bout. This brought him to a #1 contender fight in his next and recent outing with Alistair Ubereem and after an absolutely beautiful Counter Head Kick Knockdown it looked like Christ was born yet again here at DMMA.
Ubeerem though must have got some of that Sweet Sauce in-between rounds because he came out their fresh as a daisy and faceplanted Julio with a devastating Right Hand. Christ though looked great until that point and though it was bittersweet was rewarded for his efforts with a "FOTN" bonus. Every dog has his day, and we fully expect Julio's is right around the corner.
Don "Cashed Out" Cortez will surely have something to say about it though as he looks to cash out once again and get himself right back in the Title picture here at Super Heavyweight. Don flew out the gates here like a Russian racehorse going 5-1-1 leading up to his big showdown with the champ KT Panda. Cortez showed an unbelievable amount of Heart and resilience dropping the first 4 rounds and almost getting finished in round 2 of that title bid. He did however take that final round as the Panda man seemed to wear down. Now 0-2 and his back against the wall I expect to see a Hungry Don Cortez as he battles this fresh up and comer whom he won't be no steppingstone for.
Co-Main
Bantamweight Division
Chukwu Adeoluwa vs Kratos Karumaa
In are Co-Main Event a new Potential Title Challenger will be crowned as a log time vet of DMMA welcomes a dangerous Newcomer to the Bantamweight Division.
Chukwu Adeoluwa is a former Bantamweight and Featherweight champion at Enigma as he heads into his first fight here at Dynasty. "The Nigerian Dream" is also a runner up in the "Birth of a Warrior" Tournament which started his MMA career in 2021. Chukwu has all the credentials to bring in more Championship gold and as of late has shown to be quite the diverse grappler picking up two submission victories, with his most recent being a rear naked choke over Johnny Albatross at Enigma 148. Adeoluwa is the total package and has shown that throughout his career, whether it's his Submissions, Ground and Pound or his Stand up strikes the Nigerian is always putting on a show for the fans.
Kratos "Too Short" Karumaa is a dog in the DMMA cage as he makes his 20th appearance with the promotion tomorrow night in Los Angeles. When i say the mans a dog its not a bad thing at all, it simply implies that Hes got a lot of fight in him. Kratos has won 7 "Fight of the Night" Honors and has only been finished one time in his career (A fight I'm sure he would like to avenge). Karumaa though has been bouncing around fight camps a lot as of late and has expectedly been inconsistent going 4-4 in his last 8 fights. In that run he gutted out a 5 rounder in his sole title opportunity against Marko Kersikov back at DMMA 155 however. Kratos training at the The Rubber Guard Emporium looks to keep a 2 fight win streak going in this DMMA 185 Co-Main Event.
Main Event
Middleweight Division
Zachary Klimenko vs Salomon Mukunzi
Are Main Event is Bonafide Banger in the Middleweight Division, with both fighters having a High Finish rate and 17 (T)KO's between them.
Zachary Klimenko is now 3-1 with Dynasty MMA and currently on a two-fight win streak after his set back loss to Pavel Kostov to kick start his 2023 year. His last fight was only the second time in his career he has gone to a Decision (Kostov fight being the other) and it was packed with excitement as he and fellow Ukrainian Boyko Kersikov went head-to-head in a highly competitive affair. The fight won Klimenko his second DMMA Award bonus which is his 4th overall in his career. Klimenko's Pro career started with BKFC which was later rebranded to Sickness where he captured their Light Heavyweight title and was the last champion at 205 when the org closed. Zachary's move to 185 was a rough start dropping his first two fights at his new weight class via Submission, but the young and juiced up Fighter has since gone 4-1 and looks to be a future title contender in the Jam packed DMMA Middleweight division.
Rwanda native Salomon Mukunzi ended 2022 on a four-fight win streak and earned himself a Title fight against Macca Outback to kick start 2023. Salomon was quite the underdog heading into the fight with the current P4p best in the promotion, but when it was all said and done, he earned some respect form the champ who beat him by a narrow-Split Decision. Salomon has seemed to go back to his Killer instinct though in his last two fights, finishing both his opponents late in those fights with a KO and a TKO respectively. Mukunzi is now 0-2 Championship fights, but he is known to go on a big win streak and maybe the third time is the charm. First though he needs to calm the storm that is Zachary Klimenko.
There you have it ladies and gentle-pimps another Kick ass DMMA Event.
