It was a long time ago when they started. Week after week they fought to score points. Now? It’s sudden death. Now or never. Do Or Die. Last Chance. For Greatness. For Fame. For Money. Everything is on the line for last 4 fighters in European Premier League. Top talents are here and they will determine ONLY two fighters that will fight each other for EPL’s Championship and huge prize. But forget about money, if you don’t win. Forget about fame if you get knocked out. Forget about greatness if you tap out. Forget about everything, if you lose on this night. Because now it’s time for Euorpean Premier League Season 3 Semi Finals!


 


Card will feature tournament fights, but first – Former VF Middleweight Champion, Mark Forolov will make his return to the cage – to face Middleweight rising superstar, Sune Folkeson. Sune was one step away from earning himself a title opportunity. And that step’s name was Giorges Papadopoulos. Mark Forolov on the other hand WAS the Middleweight Champion. His obstacle’s name was John Kruger. Now, they have to fight to win their way back to a title. Outstanding Submission wrestler Mark Forolov Vs Heavy handed former wrestling champion Sune Folkeson. It’s destined to be exciting!


 


Thomas Raith is for sure most experienced fighter in VF right now. He came to organization with 13-13 record, improved it to 16-14 and now he really wants to get to a title shot. And his chance for it will stand before him in the cage – Fred Nyholm, 5-0 Welterweight fighter who showed nothing – but talent in his VF run. Both guys are skilled ground fighters, but with advantage in striking Thomas Raith may try to find his way to win on his feet. Will Fred let him do this? Maybe he isn’t boxing world champion, but he aint rookie as well – we just have to wait and see, what they can do.


 


Lot of people asked one question – how it is, that Brain Baxter fought two top contenders, and KOed them, and he looked like a rookie in his title fight. Maybe he broke under the pressure?  Maybe. The KO Of Marco Da Silva showed that he is still on track. But not only he is on track. Jaakko Klipinen scored 2 devastating KO victories since losing to Inspectah Knuckles, and these two KO Artist was on collision course – so, why not book them against each other now? They are red hot at 205, and we all can expect fireworks from this fight.


 


Bulk Bogan was talking about his retirement, and he believes that’s his time to hang gloves, and walk away to a sunset. But first – he has some unfinished business with Yabu Kersikov. First encounter end up as a KO Of The Night for Yabu, and Bulk believes that it was nothing but fluke. Now we will have a chance to check that, as they will do battle once again. Two highly skilled wrestler with lethal hands – combined 35 KO’s are saying one thing – expect KO Of The Night once again from this fight. Because it will not end up in the hands of judges. You can be sure about this.


 


Don’t make mistake about it. Next fight is EPL’s semis fight, but it’s not business. This one is personal.  Fuc***g personal. Rollen Spliffs was first man to beat Randy Ortiz in EPL. He not only win, he KOed Randy. And Randy wants revenge. Be ready for some “Natural Punishment”, because Ortiz has one objective – win. Win at all cost, and make sure that Rollen will not walk out of this cage on his own power. But Spliffs is confident – he knows that he KOed Ortiz once, and he feels like he can do this second time. Close fight, painful night for one of them. But awesome and exciting night for fans! Check your seatbelts, and remember – viewers discretion is advised.


 


Main Event Of The Evening. A little upset from Playoffs put Charlie McGregor against EPLs full-time terminator – James “Bombman” Bomb. This fight is a rematch as well – a rematch from 39 seconds KO. And Charlie was on bad end of it. Now, he has a shot at redemption, but let’s face it – only man that beat James is fighting in Co-Main Event, and other man that make it out of first round with James is out of tournament already. McGregor knows it as well – but he is confident, and he knows what he has to do. Randy Ortiz left the blueprint, perfect plan how to defeat Bomb. But first – you have to survive James’ strikes. Good luck with that.


 


It was 14 fighters at the begging. Now, it’s only 4 of them. And after that event, it will be only 2 of them. Final fight is closer, and closer – be sure to watch it!
