  1. <p>This is the kind of prediction small talk I love about these kinds of tournaments. For the record, I've ran the entire GP tour and final GP show before I even posted the GP press conference, so it's not like I can change my booking depending on (or inspired by) people's suggestions, but I'm quite intrigued by the predictions and ideas tossed around. Almost makes want to not post more shows, just to keep this discussion going.</p><p> </p><p> Almost.</p>

<strong>RSC Heavyweight Championship:</strong> <img alt="GsoDPQW.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GsoDPQW.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Pai Cheng (WR#24, CR#1, 13-0, 4-0 RSC) def. <img alt="RWU2mQ5.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/RWU2mQ5.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Percy Catcher (WR#22, CR#3, 14-6, 2-0 RSC) via Submission (RNC) – Round 4 (3:26) [Good]</p><p> </p><p> - Can anyone stop Pai Cheng? Percy Catcher certainly couldn’t! Making the best of his wrestling skill and weight advantage, the champion from Shanghai was able to eliminate his challenger’s striking weapons and although he was the first to look like he was digging deeper into the tank during the third round, Catcher was the one to run out of gas first. Cheng aggressively chased the RNC and, to his credit, Catcher defended against it multiple times with success, forcing his Chinese competitor to pull out the big guns and deliver two of his signature suplexes, the force of the slams apparently enough to rattle Catcher and crack his defenses long enough for a hand to slide under his chin and seal Cheng’s fourth title defense, making him arguably the most successful and longest reigning champion in Red Star Combat by now.</p><p> </p><p> - Former RSC Bantamweight champion Stella Massey was caught by surprise when Vicki Summers charged in to take her down as soon as their fight began. To her credit, Massey successfully fought off several submission attempts throughout the round and when Summers took her down again in the second, she was able to reverse the situation and rain down the blows, forcing the ref to jump in and call the TKO. The real shock came after the fight however, with “The Rotterdam Rock” announcing this was her last one, drawing an audible reaction from a shocked crowd. Massey ends her career at 32 years of age with a 14-2 career record to her name, a reign as the first ever RSC Women’s Bantamweight champion with 2 defenses and having made it up to #3 in the World Rankings.</p><p> </p><p> - Rich Robinson said his goodbye to RSC by ruining Syed Tan’s debut despite the betting odds being overwhelmingly in favour of the Malaysian. After his opening salvo of strikes, Tan threw a careless head kick that Robinson caught to take him down and failing the sprawl attempt to escape, Syed Tan got struck by a “Hard Rain” of blows that brought about his loss via TKO.</p><p> </p><p> - Though he hadn’t announced it, at 35 years of age with limited presence and even less success, it was very much expected this show would be Daniil Skala’s final fight. “Skull Crusher” put on a great performance despite the odds being greatly against him and pressured his young opponent throughout the first round but a careless attempt at a head kick was all Tomasz “The Train” Petrov needed to grab his leg, take him to the cage and apply a Guillotine for the tap.</p><p> </p><p> - After failing to capture the RSC Women’s Bantamweight title from Stella Massey and losing to Carmen Routhwaite, Estonia’s Tiiu Kass redeemed herself by knocking out Alicia Fothergill in the opening fight. The American striker, who came into this fight after having broken her 0-4 losing streak with a knock out over rookie Ona Pospisil got herself knocked out by “The Tigress” and her future with RSC seems to be on shaky ground.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bonus</span></strong></p><p><strong> Fight of the Night:</strong> Cheng vs Catcher</p><p> <strong>KO of the Night:</strong> Kass vs Fothergill</p><p> <strong>Submission of the Night:</strong> Cheng vs Catcher</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Post-Fight</span></strong></p><p><strong> Rich Robinson:</strong> <em>”Tonight I bid you all adieu with a near-flawless run to my name.

To his credit, Matsushita never seemed out of breath, an impressive feat for someone his size, but Torii just would not stay down.

CR#2, 11-4, 2-0 RSC) via TKO (Strikes) – Round 1 (3:19) [Great] [Epsom retired after the fight]</p><p> </p><p> - After some spectacular performances and a long war of words, defending champion Rachel McGuiness and her fellow American challenger Lynda Epsom finally met in the night’s main event with championship gold on the line. Epsom was cautious about closing in to wrestle and for good reason, as McGuiness not only kept her at bay but almost knocked her out just a few minutes into their fight. Although the blow was not enough to take Epsom off outright, it did create the opening McGuiness needed to close in and drop the bombs for the TKO and retain her title. Visibly shattered by her loss, Epsom announced her retirement after the fight, ending with a track record of 11-5.</p><p> </p><p> - Former RSC Bantamweight champion Stella Massey was caught by surprise when Vicki Summers charged in to take her down as soon as their fight began. To her credit, Massey successfully fought off several submission attempts throughout the round and when Summers took her down again in the second, she was able to reverse the situation and rain down the blows, forcing the ref to jump in and call the TKO. The real shock came after the fight however, with “The Rotterdam Rock” announcing this was her last one, drawing an audible reaction from a shocked crowd. Massey ends her career at 32 years of age with a 14-2 career record to her name, a reign as the first ever RSC Women’s Bantamweight champion with 2 defenses and having made it up to #3 in the World Rankings.</p><p> </p><p> - Shannon Palmer is called “The Rash” because once she’s on someone, she’s hard to remove and that’s something Maria Ferraz was well aware coming into their fight, making the best of her striking game to keep the American at a safe distance. This tactic kept Palmer at bay for two rounds, but with the clock ticking down on the final round, Palmer finally took a risk to grab a leg and back her Brazilian opponent against the cage. With plenty of time to work with, Palmer was able to trip Ferraz down and found a way to get her in the armbar, earning herself a decisive victory in almost redeeming fashion.</p><p> </p><p> - Coming in strong after his decisive victory over Dmitry Gomolov at RSC 30: Hirano vs Jankovic II, “The MVP” Manny Van Post went straight into a headhunt from the opening bell in the night’s Heavyweight division fight. Lachlan Bowen, whose winning streak ended at RSC 25: Biel vs Rives courtesy of Jean-Pierre Richelieu, attempted to close the distance and eliminate his opponent’s blows with a clinch, but Van Post escaped to nail him with a knock out head kick! Now with two decisive wins in a row, “The MVP” may well be making a comeback while Bowen’s losing trajectory continues downward.</p><p> </p><p> - A treat for the Moscow fans, the show went off to a hot start with local fighters Dominykas Wojcik and Peter Kovacic trading blows. Of the two, it was Wojcik who got the best of the exchange, knocking his opponent out in just over a minute to win.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bonus</span></strong></p><p><strong> Fight of the Night:</strong> Massey vs Summers</p><p> <strong>KO of the Night:</strong> Van Post vs Bowen</p><p> <strong>Submission of the Night:</strong> Palmer vs Ferraz</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Post-Fight</span></strong></p><p><strong> Rachel McGuiness:</strong> <em>"That was one hell of a title defense, am I right?

W1 Apr. 2020 Takamatsu @ Shikoku, Japan 50 Fans Pre-show 1. Sofu Ozawa and Nobuyuki Kubo def. Kisaka & Hosaka (10m 19s) when Nobuyuki Kubo pinned Ginji Kisaka with a Running Knee Side-Swipe. [30] 2. Yoriie Ippitsusai and Takenori Doi def. Emperor & Imakura (9m 52s) when Takenori Doi pinned Big Boss Emperor with a Charging Knee Strike. [32] Main Show 1. Rokuemon Matsushita, Danjuro Kikuchi and Ryobe Uno def. Bunrakuken Torii, Ichiro Mitsukuri and Koyo Kinoshita (10m 09s) when Danjuro Kikuchi submitted Koyo Kinoshita with a Step Over Leg Bar. [48] The show opened up with a multi man tag match to hype up Matsushita vs Torii for the GP, with Torii looking well like a man who could play spoiler and cost Matsushita some valuable points in the tournament. The former BCG World champion certainly wasn't shy about standing his ground and trading big blows with Matsushita, but it was Kikuchi who scored the pin after another surprisingly solid performance, given his age and experience. 2. Blast Ikoma, Roku Sotomura and Sharaku Okimasa def. Masashi Urogataya, Omezo Shikitei and Yoshisada Matsuzawa (16m 15s) when Blast Ikoma pinned Yoshisada Matsuzawa with a Northern Lights Bomb. [52] All fired up after being done with big men he can't suplex around, Blast Ikoma once again let loose in this match and got himself some momentum for his upcoming match against Masashi Urogataya by being the one to score the pinfall in this match over Matsuzawa. 3. Nobuharu Yokokawa and Team Taku def. Desperado Dave Barker and The Wild Ones (10m 07s) when Yoshinaka Taku pinned Desperado Dave Barker with a Full Nelson Bomb. [46] Another high profile match for Desperado Dave Barker, even if he was only in it to be the gaijin team's fall guy. Findlay and Harker also seemed to have some trust and communication issues, perhaps stemming from their failure to capture the BCG World Tag Team titles after winning TagMania 7, something their opponents fully exploited with Yoshinaka Taku scoring the pin while staring Findlay dead in the eyes all the time. 4. Morimasa Kato def. Dynamite Narahashi (18m 19s) by submission with a Choke Sleeper. [54] Very much a match about who would impose the pace and style that suited them, Narahashi tried to keep things fast and mobile while Kato attempted to shut him down, slow the match and take him down for a stretch. As time rolled on and Narahashi couldn't get the pin, his movement slowed down and that was all Kato needed to take control of the match and eventually get his Choke Sleeper locked in for the tap. 5. Tanyu Toshusai def. Kadonomaro Kamisaka (16m 27s) by pinfall with a Dangerous Brainbuster. [60] Specialization versus all-around skill on display in this match, with Kamisaka single-mindedly working the back of his opponent's neck and Toshusai utilizing a mix of stiff strikes, big slams and submission holds. Kamisaka really pushed his opponent for the entire duration of the match, especially every time Toshusai made the mistake of chain wrestling him, but once Tanyu managed to hit the Dangerous Brainbuster, Kamisaka was down and out for the count. 6. SUKI def. Kiyotaka (24m 19s) by submission with a SUKI Special III. [60] Another slow, gruelling contest that almost went on for 25 minutes, Kiyotaka's fighting spirit was more than a match for SUKI who ran into a match he seemingly expected to be over much sooner. Kiyotaka showed why he shouldn't be underestimated and made SUKI pay for his arrogance but couldn't quite get the Kimura locked in properly, which in turn he paid when he ended tapping out to the SUKI Special III. Block B Standings Morimasa Kato (6) SUKI (5) Tanyu Toshusai (3) Dynamite Narahashi (2) Kiyotaka (2) Kadonomaro Kamisaka (0)</div>
  8. Another entertaining show, surprised but happy to see Big Swole win and get a push, her match against Jazzy should be a good one. I've voiced some questions about Angle's role (and necessity) in the company, happy to see him answer them plus the whole "who will be the next Kurt Angle" feels like a twisted take on the whole "Angle's illegitimate son" angle (or a "how that angle should be done right").

Witherspoon (WR#10, CR#1, 9-0, 3-0 RSC) via Knock Out (Kick) – Round 2 (0:31) [Good]</p><p> </p><p> - Perhaps the most anticipated main event in quite some time, featuring the only two men left in the RSC Super Heavyweight division who can do more than just be big and get tired fast. On one side, the defending champion, Canada’s Dwight Witherspoon. Undefeated in RSC (3-0) and his entire career (9-0), odds absolutely in his favour and enjoying a significant height and reach advantage. On the other side, the challenger and #1 contender, just a few miles away from his home in Glasgow, Colin J L Capes, also enjoying an undefeated streak in RSC (2-0) and his overall career (7-0). The tough Scotsman was the one who’d issued the title challenge and entered the cage with a weight advantage, as well as a nasty streak of having finished all 5 of his last opponents. This was as big as it gets and the heat between the two only got bigger when they refused to touch gloves before the opening bell. Capes started off strong, knocking the champion down but was unable to turn that into a TKO. Witherspoon tried to ensnare the Glaswegian into a submission using his long legs, but nothing came out of it. With the opening round drawing to a close, it seemed that Capes was ahead and we were in for an exciting fight. As if to add an exclamation point to that feeling, Capes nailed a huge left head kick on his much taller opponent once round 2 began, knocking him out cold for a shocking championship victory!</p><p> </p><p> - Spectacular fight in the semi main event, with heavy favourite Harald “Hammer” Hubner starting strong when he caught his opponent’s leg and took him down to the mat. Despite several attempts for the RNC, Dalen defended well and limited his opponent to a ground and pound. Clearly fired up by his performance in the first round, Dalen scored a couple of big head kicks as soon as round 2 was underway to send Hubner stumbling back, then closed in to knock him out with several big shots.</p><p> </p><p> - "One Shot” Nora Bethlen did it again! Maja Krawzcyk accepted her challenge and entered this fight as a heavy favourite, showing some good defense against her opponent’s notorious big right hooks, but the sheer force behind the blows got the Russian fighter punch drunk enough to lower her defenses for a proper shot to get past and knock her out, ending her undefeated streak. Bethlen’s victim list continues to grow and she has certainly entered the discussion about a potential title shot in the near future.</p><p> </p><p> - The night’s Welterweight fight had a distinct Mexican flavor to it as Fernandez and de Terreros met inside the cage. Despite being known as “The Bruiser”, Fernandez got badly outstruck and soon enough went down, with de Terreros capitalizing for a TKO win.</p><p> </p><p> - Ramin Rostami may be known as an unspectacular low risk grinder, but he was far from that in the opening contest as he quickly got the double underhooks in and took his slower opponent to the mat for a deep kimura! Edu Gattai somehow managed to escape the hold though and defend against another attempt at it, but Rostami struck gold with attempt number three, getting the armbar on for the tap.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bonus</span></strong></p><p><strong> Fight of the Night:</strong> Capes vs Witherspoon</p><p> <strong>KO of the Night:</strong> Capes vs Witherspoon</p><p> <strong>Submission of the Night:</strong> Correa vs He Wang</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Post-Fight</span></strong></p><p><strong> Colin J L Capes:</strong> <em>"Special shout out to any lads driving down from Scotland to support me and see me win tonight.

RSC) via Unanimous Decision [Good]</p><p> </p><p> - Poland’s Katarzyna Wojchiechowska got her title match at long last and went into it strong, delivering kicks to her opponent’s legs and body as well as some big right hooks but failing to make any significant progress. Komagata took her shots with high kicks aiming for the head but nothing seemed to rock her challenger either. With little progress made, the challenger showed the first signs of exhaustion halfway into the fight and paid for it with a big head kick but to her credit, survived it to keep fighting. From that point on, the defending champion, who was also quite hurt to keep headhunting, switched to a clinch and controlled most of it with short strikes for the rest of the match, convincing the judges to deem her the winner by unanimous decision.</p><p> </p><p> - "The Second Generation Star” Roope Kuqi finally made his RSC debut in the semi main event and was surprisingly good against Moldova’s Mugur Boc, with both fighters showcasing some great wrestling skills as they struggled to top each other. Takedowns were hard to score for either fighter and even then, their ground defense made it hard to score anything but Boc finally found a way through in the final round, getting the leglock to win and give Kuqi his first ever career loss.</p><p> </p><p> - Aldona Dvorak got a warm reception but her hometown advantage wasn’t enough to carry her to victory. She and eventual winner Zofia Ivanov spent all three rounds smothering each other against the cage while trading elbows and knees until it was time for the judges to call this.</p><p> </p><p> - Another unspectacular Super Heavyweight fight, this one exposed both competitors’ atrocious cardio already from the opening round. To their credit, Snettisham and Klyushev were able to stand and bang for the full three rounds to at least provide a mildly entertaining fight with the judges deeming that the Russian got the better of the exchange.</p><p> </p><p> - A surprisingly standing, striking battle in the opener, given that both fighters boast a background in wrestling but Canada’s Allen LeFleur got the win over Greek veteran Alekos Karabatsos thanks to a few big right hooks that did the damage, eventually felling him so that LeFleur could finish him off.</p><p> </p><p> - Disappointing farewell for Maxime Giresse at the top of the pre-show, the Frenchman losing to underdog Markus Jovanovic in his final RSC match. Giresse ends his run with the company with a 2-4 record and will continue to fight in Europe for Signature Martial Arts.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bonus</span></strong></p><p><strong> Fight of the Night:</strong> Komagata vs Wojchiechowska</p><p> <strong>KO of the Night:</strong> Kovacic vs Horvat</p><p> <strong>Submission of the Night:</strong> Boc vs Kuqi</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Post-Fight</span></strong></p><p><strong> Maya Komagata:</strong> <em>"Won’t lie, I wanted to win this with a big kick KO, but I’m happy to retain the title either way."</em></p><p> <strong> Katarzyna Wojchiechowska:</strong> <em>”I’m very disappointed with the outcome, I should have taken Komagata out early on and I paid the price for not doing it.”</em></p><p> <strong>Konstantinos Choropas (CEO of RSC):</strong> <em>”Judges had a lot of work tonight, we didn’t get a lot of clean finishes in the main part of the show but I’m hoping fans enjoyed getting more content and some exciting fights.”</em></p><p> <strong>Allen LeFleur:</strong> <em>”Karabatsos put on a tough fight, he didn’t let me play to my strengths so I had to adapt.

Bunrakuken Torii also showcased his underpraised technical wrestling but that wasn't enough to get him the win. With both Torii and Ikoma behind in points, they are bound to have a wild match when they meet and given the familiarity between them, it really could go either way.</em></span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> </span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> 3. </span><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"><strong>Masashi Urogataya, Ichiyo Mitsukuri and Koyo Kinoshita def.

As even as any match can get, especially given how well these two know each other and were able to counter each other's moves, it felt like the outcome was down to chance and Kiyotaka was the one who got lucky enough to slap on the Kimura for the tap.</em></span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> </span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> 5. </span><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"><strong>Morimasa Kato def.

Dynamite Narahashi is a former Burning Hammer contract star and a veteran who's been in the ring with the best of them and it was obvious in this match he was no stranger to high pressure matches. The two wrestled a slow paced, hard hitting bout that went on for more than twenty minutes as they pulled off bigger and bigger moves to take down each other, but SUKI's careful approach paid off in the end when he finally managed to slap on the SUKI Special III for the tap and two very valuable points.</em></span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> </span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> </span><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Block B Standings</span></strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> Morimasa Kato (4)</span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> SUKI (3)</span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> Dynamite Narahashi (2)</span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> Kiyotaka (2)</span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> Tanyu Toshusai (1)</span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> Kadonomaro Kamisaka (0)</span></div></p></div><p></p>

Vasya Kaczmarek (WR#22, CR#4, 9-2, 3-2 RSC) via TKO (Strikes) – Round 2 (1:53) [Poor] RSC Ligh Heavytweight Championship: Hyun-Shik Lim (WR#15, CR#2, 17-3, 1-0 RSC) def. Carlos dos Santos (WR#23, CR#1, 18-6, 3-0 RSC) via TKO (Strikes) – Round 2 (0:43) [Good] - He may have only fought (and won) a single fight in RSC, but Hyun-Sjik Lim’s name value alone was enough to land him a main event title match, of which he made the best of, defeating Carlos dos Santos for the strap. After a round of working on his opponent’s legs and body with kicks, Lim had the defending champion limping by the end of round one, which in turn lowered his defenses for the North Korean to zone in and get the win early in the second. - It may not be the hottest feud in RSC, but Sjolin vs Kaczmarek is certainly one of the longest. With Kaczmarek giving Sjolin her first career loss to retain the RSC Women’s Featherweight title back in July of 2002, Sweden’s “Iron Chef” was out for redemption and she finally got it over a year later. Although the match itself was nothing exciting, spent mostly grappling each other against the cage, the finish was quite unusual with a takedown attempt ending up in something of a headlock. Quickly shaking the cobwebs from her eyes, Sjolin pounded away with shots from the side to the head of her opponent, with the referee soon forced to jump in and declare a TKO victory for her. - After months of trading insults, Benoit LeMarche and Saul Cervantes finally traded blows as well inside the cage, with the cocky Spaniard pulling of a surprise win when he caught his opponent’s arm from the bottom of the guard, just as LeMarche was attempting to get past it, and into an armbar for the submission. - Last time she made an appearance for RSC, Rennaya Rives lost both her undefeated streak and a title match to Trish Biel. Whether that motivated her or she simply needed to vent her frustrations, Croatia’s Tatjana Vinnick paid the price. The Brazilian fighter took her down with a big left swing in the opening round but couldn’t finish her off, a mistake she did not make twice as she managed to get the TKO on round two. - Jonas Jankowski returned after his debut submission win over Willem Van Ommen at RSC 26: dos Santos vs Piquet to pick up another one, this time over French kickboxer Maurice Braudel. Jankowski just suplexed him onto the cage as soon as their fight began and then applied a guillotine for the tap to further shoot up the ranks while Braudel, now at a 0-3 losing streak in RSC, would do well to worry about his future with the company. Bonus Fight of the Night: Cervantes vs LeMarche KO of the Night: Ivanov vs Petrovic Submission of the Night: Cervantes vs LeMarche Post-Fight Hyun-Shik Lim: "Big moment. One of the biggest in my career." Annika Sjolin: ”Ugh, feels so good to finally get this in my rearview mirror. Maja Krawczyk is my next dream opponent, she better get prepared because I’m coming for her.” Saul Cervantes: ”Give me Jay Dorridge -any time, any place- and I’m going to embarrass him, just like I did with LeMarche tonight.” Rennaya Rives: ”Next fight, huh? I dunno, think trading blows with Helena Broderick would be pretty cool, but whatever the powers that be decide for me, I’m down with it.” Jonas Jankowski: ”First fight, Rear Naked Choke. Second fight, Guillotine. The writing’s on the wall. I can and I will choke out anyone who gets in the cage with me.”

Submission (RNC) – Round 1 (2:35) [Great]</p><p> </p><p> - Could third time finally be the charm for Fumiaki Hayashi? Absolutely not if Georges Nouri has anything to say about it! After defending his Japanese challenger in decisive fashion twice before, Nouri made short work of him yet again by quickly forcing him against the cage, slamming him down with an impressive suplex and sinking the hooks in for the choke. Game, set and match, Georges Nouri.</p><p> </p><p> - The co-main event, dubbed “The Battle of the Baltic” due to its Estonian and Belarussian participants, did not live up to its catchy title, with Kikkas starting strong by taking down Alexievich but never managing to find an answer for his opponent’s supreme ground defense. Things only went down after that exciting start, with the two fighters grappling it out but never really going anywhere other than the judges.</p><p> </p><p> - Dabrowski vs Robinson was also, in the words of the winner himself, a “stinker” that was mostly spent in the clinch and dirty boxing. Surely a match whose participants as well as RSC will be hoping is quickly forgotten.</p><p> </p><p> - A sleeper of an opening fight as Lithuanian Super Heavyweights Sigauskas and Blekaitis clashed after the former had previously won via unanimous decision to spark a bitter feud leading to this rematch. Not only was it even worse than the original, with the two big men just muscling each other against the cage, it also ended on a split decision this time with Blekaitis getting the equalizer. Does anyone even want to see a third chapter of this?</p><p> </p><p> - RSC’s Super Heavyweight division has never really managed to impress and the opening contest was no different, things however took a dramatic turn against Fred Goggins after he seemed to damage his wrist. After also getting a broken nose and with one eye almost swollen shut, Goggins put on a brave fight and although he never had a chance to win on the judges’ scorecards, he still earned the respect of fans and his opponents simply by surviving against such a predicament.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bonus</span></strong></p><p><strong> Fight of the Night:</strong> Nouri vs Hayashi</p><p> <strong>KO of the Night:</strong> Ruzicki vs Grabowski</p><p> <strong>Submission of the Night:</strong> Nouri vs Hayashi</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Post-Fight</span></strong></p><p><strong> Georges Nouri:</strong> <em>"Frankly, I’m looking forward to the next challenger stepping up.

RSC) via Unanimous Decision [Decent] [Jankovic broke his nose in the fight]</p><p> </p><p> - Meeting Jankovic once more after RSC 15 where Hirano got a win via split decision, this one would be Hirano’s final RSC fight and he came into it as a huge favourite but couldn’t quite get the job done, especially in the first half. He tried to trap the arm several times in the opening round, connected with a big head kick in the second and even broke his opponent’s nose in the third, but Jankovic just would not give up. Despite winning fans over with his sheer toughness and giving the departing champion a tough fight, Jankovic just couldn’t convince the judges and they decided in favor of Hirano after the full 5 rounds. Hirano leaves RSC for ALPHA-1 as the champion and the title has been vacated after the show.</p><p> </p><p> - Finally clashing after a long war of words, former RSC Middleweight champion Shaun Dico and the undefeated Esteban Vega met for a somewhat underwhelming fight, but certainly one that justified Dico’s nickname. The Tenacious one completed every takedown attempt he went for (and he went for a lotof them) but never managed to decisively finish off his opponent. It was a pretty once sided situation however, so the judges were in easy and full agreement in favor of the Danish grappler, who may well be gunning to reclaim gold after this victory.</p><p> </p><p> - Foggy Lee entered his match with a 6” reach advantage and the odds overwhelmingly in his favour, but Ronaldo Freitas made him work for the win thanks to his spectacular ground defense. After two rounds of struggling, Lee apparently figured it out during the break and once the final round began, he unceremoniously took Freitas down once again to slap on the kimura for a tap.</p><p> </p><p> - Return to form for India’s Daljit Samir, who peppered Natasha Mellow with punches in the opening round just long enough to daze her so she could deliver a murderous knee for the knockout in the second.</p><p> </p><p> - A sleeper of an opening fight as Lithuanian Super Heavyweights Sigauskas and Blekaitis clashed after the former had previously won via unanimous decision to spark a bitter feud leading to this rematch. Not only was it even worse than the original, with the two big men just muscling each other against the cage, it also ended on a split decision this time with Blekaitis getting the equalizer. Does anyone even want to see a third chapter of this?</p><p> </p><p> - A real gem of a fight hidden in the show’s undercard, Leia Leele’s buzzer-beater come-from-behind shock victory nearly stole the show as she survived three brutal rounds against Tilly Hall with cuts that almost exposed the bone of her skull only to connect with a head kick just seconds before the timer ran out!</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bonus</span></strong></p><p><strong> Fight of the Night:</strong> Leele vs Hall</p><p> <strong>KO of the Night:</strong> Samir vs Mellow</p><p> <strong>Submission of the Night:</strong> Lee vs Freitas</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Post-Fight</span></strong></p><p><strong> Fukusabaru Hirano:</strong> <em>"He gave me a tough fight, but I came out on top.

SUKI seemed to be in his usual foul mood and inflicted plenty of punishment, while Narahashi seemed to play it safe in order to save up for their singles match, an approach that may have ultimately led to his team losing here.</em></span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> </span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> 2. </span><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"><strong>Kadonomaro Kamisaka, Omezo Shikitei and Sharaku Okimasa def.

Much like SUKI, Toshusai will be gunning for the singles win and two points over Kato, but the former INSPIRE star is no pushover and following his team's loss here is expected to show no mercy.</em></span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> </span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> 4. </span><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"><strong>Rokuemon Matsushita def.

Absolutely relentless, Findlay brought a hard hitting game into this match and pummeled Ikoma for almost twenty minutes before he was able to put him away but he did so and remained alive in the race against fellow big man Matsushita.</em></span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> </span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> 6. </span><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"><strong>Bunrakuken Torii def.

A win and two points here would keep Torii alive in the race behind Matsushita and Findlay, while Taku would tie them for the lead but eventually it was the former BCG World champion who got them, courtesy of his thunderous Spinning Forearm Smash finisher.</em></span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> </span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> </span><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Block A Standings</span></strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> Big Bruiser Findlay (4)</span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> Rokuemon Matsushita (4)</span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> Yoshinaka Taku (2)</span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> Bunrakuken Torii (2)</span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> Blast Ikoma (0)</span></p><p><span style="color:#F5DEB3;"> Masashi Urogataya (0)</span></div></p></div><p></p>
