The Golden Shower

Fighter profile of Elrey Dorado by Chris Karter

Elrey Dorado (19-7-0 MMA, 10-2 Combate) is back in the win column after a dominent, if slightly undramatic victory over Germany's Bender Mein Armbach.(37-27-1 MMA, 3-5 Combate) at C360: Marley vs Kringle a few weekends ago.

The German population from the local Argentinan towns must have came to the event in full force, because Bender had the crowds support when he entered the cage. That didn't stop Elrey from taking the German opponent down and imposing his will on him, dictating the grappling exchanges and constantly giving him the business. At the end of three rounds Elrey was declared the winner via unaminous decision in a lopsided 30-27 affair on all three scorecards.

Most pundits expected Elrey, the former 5 time Combate welterweight champion, to make quick work of his opponent. The fact that it lasted all three rounds is pretty disappointed for most fans and gamblers rooting for The Golden Boy. Truth be told, Bender looked so bad out there it was hard for Elrey to look good - it was as if somebody forgot to set Bender's sliders entirely, or he autbotted into the contest with preset rage sack settings. In other words, never go full spectre.

Elrey is a product of Convicted Fight Club and his journey to the premier organization in the world didn't come with a little adversity. He's a Bolivian kickboxer and BJJ enthusiest who grew up selling cocaine to support a nasty hooker habit. Battling sex addiction wasn't easy for a wild man living in third world poverty, but slanging that yayo led to him traveling illegally to Los Angeles where he started training at the #1 gym in the MMA world, Convicted Fight Club.

Rumors have it that Elrey Dorado's next opponent will be a rematch with the current champion who took his belt, Brazilian homecoming king, Oswaldo Fadda Jr (20-7 MMA, 2-0 Combate). We can't confirm when the fight will take place exactly, but I guarantee by the time the next edition of the times is released it will be booked and confirmed so tune in fight fans! Vote for Elrey!
