[CENTER][IMG]http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/7526/alpha1hv3.jpg[/IMG] [B]ALPHA-1: We're Taking Over[/B] ALPHA-1 is the longest running MMA promotion in the world, they are the number one MMA promotion in Japan. But in America, the Global Association of Mixed Martial Arts otherwise known as GAMMA is exploding with popularity. ALPHA-1 is finding a hard time competing with the American promotion, but it is giving a very hard fight even securing a PPV deal with American Option gaining a large amount of American fans. Still the company continues to struggle in the war against GAMMA, despite having the number one ranked pound for pound fighter in the world in Hassan Fezzik, and Light Heavyweight wrecking machine Tadamasa Yamada, the other divisions continue to struggle especially the middleweight division. But when former professional wrestling booker Scott Avatar, known as the king of drama made a controversial jump to MMA, ALPHA-1 was quick to hire him. Avatar quickly thought of a way to bring in fans by holding a heavyweight tournament, titled ALPHA-1 Heavyweight Grand Prix. The winner will be crowned the first ever Heavyweight Grand Prix Champion, but with a twist, competing in the tournament will be reigning ALPHA-1 Heavyweight Champion "The Big Bad" Hassan Fezzik, meaning the winner of the Grand Prix will also be the ALPHA-1 Heavyweight Champion. [B]Other News[/B]: Fans are already buzzing about the Heavyweight Grand Prix, but their are now rumours that ALPHA-1 is in contract negotiations with former GAMMA Heavyweight Champion "Swedish Superman" Gunnar Nillson, ALPHA-1 wants to set up a potential finals match in the Heavyweight Grand Prix between Gunnar Nillson vs. Hassan Fezzik as a way of pitting GAMMA vs. ALPHA-1. The full card for the show will be announced shortly, if Nillson is participating in the card it will be revealed. [/CENTER]

The huge signing of Gunnar Nilsson has been confirmed, he will be taking on Hiro Arai, far from an easy debut in ALPHA-1! Also another former GAMMA Heavyweight Champion participates in the Grand Prix as Jeff Carlton takes on Ari Peltonen in the opening round. The first fight in the Grand Prix will be Carter Potter vs. Grzegorz Boniek in a hyped fight, some look forward to it but it's almost a guaranteed snore-fest. Carlos da Guia has knocked out all five of his opponents in the very first round, he now faces his toughest challenge yet in Chojiro Goto, another knock out will almost guarantee da Guia a shot at the title. Jerezo currently the #1 Ranked Middleweight in ALPHA-1 will take on tough fighter Haranobu Oshiro, the middleweight division is unbelievably weak at the moment and this fight needs to deliver big time. In the preliminary bouts most notably fighting will be the heavily hyped Atep of Indonesia making his ALPHA-1 debut, Atep is a legend in his homeland of Indonesia and due to all of the hype people seem to be extremely interested in the outcome of this fight. Other then this three fights between rising contenders in their respective divisions, don't forget the pre-show bouts can be watched for free on ALPHA-1.com after the show!

Only the middleweights are abysmal compared to GAMMA's roster.

Chiyo Yanagimoto via Submission at 0:56, Round 3 [B]MAIN[/B] Haranobu Oshiro (9-2-1) vs. Jerezo (21-8) [B]Round 1[/B] Quick start to the round from Jerezo, he comes storming in with a flurry of jabs. Oshiro defends it well, parrying them away. Nice straight right from Oshiro connects. Jerezo gets in close and hits a pair of nice body shots, then they clinch up. Jerezo pushes Oshiro back against the cage and goes for a trip, but Oshiro blocks it. Oshiro suddenly pushes forward off the cage and uses the momentum to take Jerezo down to the ground, into guard. Oshiro doggedly tries to pass guard, but Jerezo keeps him at bay. The referee tells them that he wants to see more in the way of action or he'll stand them up. Not much of an incentive for Jerezo to do anything, but it does inspire Oshiro to throw a couple of hard punches, albeit ones that are easily parried by the gloves of Jerezo. Oshiro manages to work past Jerezo's right leg, but gets caught in half guard before he can get the mount that he was looking for. The fight once again slows right down, with Jerezo's tenacious defence frustrating Oshiro. Jerezo sucks Oshiro into a clinch, and even tries a cheeky guillotine. Oshiro pushes him away though, and nails a beauty of a right hand to the cheek in response. I don't think Jerezo will be trying that move again for a while. Oshiro grabs an arm and tries to twist it backward to create some torque. Jerezo uses his free arm to grab his own wrist, preventing that from happening. The time expires without anything further of note happening. End of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Oshiro. [B]Round 2[/B] The round begins with Jerezo taking the iniative, coming in quickly with a straight right and a leg kick. Oshiro replies with a snap jab and a wild left that misses by a long way. Jerezo goes for the takedown, but Oshiro sprawls. Jerezo tries to power through, but Oshiro uses that against him and turns it into a takedown of his own. They're quite close to the cage, which may help Jerezo defend this. Oshiro is in guard. He throws a couple of half-hearted jabs, then tries to pass, but Jerezo isn't allowing it. Jerezo pulls Oshiro in tight, locking up both his arms. Oshiro pulls free and again tries to pass guard. This has turned into a bit of a stalemate, the referee may be thinking of standing them up if nothing happens soon. Oshiro tries a big right hand, which Jerezo defends well. He has quite a high guard, Oshiro has to be wary not to fall into a triangle when leaning in like that. Jerezo once again drags Oshiro down into a clinch, and this time even tries to work a guillotine, but Oshiro easily deals with it and hands out two solid right hands to the ribs along the way. We're back to Oshiro trying to pass guard. Jerezo tries to throw a big punch and almost hands an armbar to Oshiro, but he realises the danger in time and manages to recover. The referee finally gets them back to their feet due to the lack of progress that has been made. Oshiro scores with a jab, then a second. Jerezo goes for a sweeping kick to the right knee, but it isn't fast enough and gives Oshiro enough time to take him down again. Oshiro quickly goes to pass guard, looking for side control, but Jerezo once again defends it. It looks like a frustrating round will end with them on the ground, and almost certainly has to go to Oshiro on points due to him being the aggressor and getting two takedowns in. The round ends. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Oshiro. [B]Round 3[/B] An early exchange of punches goes nowhere. Jerezo tries to force Oshiro up against the cage, but can't. Oshiro scores with the first meaningful blow of the round, a solid right hand to the ribs. Jerezo steps in, but we don't get to find out his intentions as Oshiro clinches up quickly. Jerezo tries to shake free, but gets taken down via a trip. Oshiro doggedly tries to pass guard, but Jerezo keeps him at bay. The referee tells them that he wants to see more in the way of action or he'll stand them up.

[B]Winner: [/B]Haranobu Oshiro via Decision. [I]After the fight Oshiro assures the fans that he is going to single-handedly make the middleweight division more exciting then ever, he calls out Juro Fukawasa to a fight saying he beat the number one guy.[/I] Carlos da Guia (5-0) vs. Chojiro Goto (8-1) [B]Round 1[/B] Goto moves in close and hits a left hook to the body. da Guia steps back, and suddenly fires off a roundhouse kick. Goto didn't see it coming, and it lands right behind his ear. Goto is down, knocked out cold, and the referee is quick to step in and stop da Guia from inflicting any more damage. da Guia wins via knock out at 0:32 of the first round. [B]Winner: [/B]Carlos da Guia via Knock Out at 0:32 of the First Round. [I]After the fight Carlos da Guia says he believes that was a tough test, who wants to be the next test to be passed! He says he's the baddest fighter on the planet right now and he'll keep on proving it![/I] Carter Potter (10-2) vs. Grzegorz Boniek (13-4) [B]Round 1[/B] Exchange of punches to start, nothing really hit though. They go into a clinch, and the pace disappears as both fighters try and get the advantage. Eventually the referee separates them. Jab from Boniek, who then has to react quickly to avoid a right hook that was aimed right at the chin. Boniek puts on a burst of energy and fires off a big sequence of punches, maybe twelve or thirteen in a row, although not many actually connected. Potter covered up well, and gets in a couple of shots of his own before moving out of range again. Boniek looks to be working an angle. Low kick from Potter, almost to the groin, although it didn't look intentional. They come together in a clinch again, and it returns to a stalemate. Not a great round by anyone's standard, but that flurry should mean that Boniek will take the round on points. End of round 1. Blurcat.com gives that one to Boniek by 10-9. [B]Round 2[/B] A touch of gloves to start the round, and we're underway. Boniek lets rip with a vicious straight right almost immediately, but it's easily avoided. Potter sneaks a jab through the guard and catches Boniek on the left cheek, but the follow up right hook only finds gloves. They get close to each other and end up in a clinch, from which Potter manages to get the better position, pushing Boniek up against the cage. Right hand to the ribs from Potter. Boniek hits a couple of knees to the side. There's a struggle for supremacy going on, it's difficult to see who is winning it. Potter tries a knee of his own, but that is the opportunity that Boniek was waiting for and he sweeps the standing leg to take Potter down to the ground, in side control. Excellent takedown. Potter covers up to defend against a pair of back-hand blows, and even manages to sneak a knee strike in. Boniek hits a big elbow to the ribs, Potter definitely felt that. Boniek drives a knee to the near side, then attempts to float-over into a mount. Potter brought his legs in though, and manages to pull guard. Boniek will be disappointed with that. He tries to get a big punch in, but Potter defends it well and gets a hold of both arms. The fight grinds to a halt, with Boniek unable to generate any attacks, and Potter unwilling to give up a good defensive position. The referee stands them up. Boniek will likely be very angry that he didn't make more of that takedown. They exchange half-hearted jabs as the round draws to an end. The second round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Boniek. [B]Round 3[/B] Boniek doesn't waste any time, scoring with a big right hook almost immediately. Potter was caught sleeping, and that really landed hard, if it had been more accurate it might have been a knock out blow. Potter hits two sharp body shots in return, but it's clear that he is rattled. Other than a few half-hearted jabs, there's been a definite lull over the past minute. They get in close and exchange punches, it's not clear who got the better of that. Boniek hits a good looping punch to the side of the head, that's another one that's rattled Potter. Boniek is getting more force behind his punches at the moment, and that's the key difference. Other than a few half-hearted jabs, there's been a definite lull over the past minute. Time ticks away, and Potter offers nothing that would make you think that he has any chance of winning this round on points. End of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Boniek. The official scores are: 30-27 (twice), 29-28 for Grzegorz Boniek. [B]Winner: [/B]Grzegorz Boniek via decision. [I]Boniek says he's ecstatic to be a part of this Heavyweight Grand Prix, being in the semi-finals will be an honour to him. He says the rest of the tournament will be the toughest test of his career.[/I] Ari Peltonen (14-5) vs. Jeff Carlton (16-3) [B]Round 1[/B] Carlton throws the first punch of the round, a high searching jab that didn't carry a great deal of threat with it. Peltonen throws a one-two combination in return, neither connecting, then steps in and delivers a hard kick to the outside of the thigh. Carlton steps back, throwing a right hand as he does to buy himself space. They circle, then move in again to exchange strikes, neither fighter getting a clear advantage. They come together again and the same result. It has become something of a stalemate at the moment. They come together to exchange strikes for the third time, and this time they wind up in a clinch. Peltonen hits a knee to the ribs. A couple of shots to the back from Carlton. They struggle all the way back, with Carlton ending up backed up against the cage. Peltonen hits another knee, but there wasn't much power behind it. Carlton stomps downward onto his foot. Carlton manages to reverse their positions, but that only lasts about thirty seconds before it gets reversed once more. Peltonen gets an arm free and tries to throw a big shot to the cheek, Carlton ducks under it and gets the arm back under control. The referee finally breaks them up, and we're back to where we started. Carlton tries a high kick to start, but Peltonen saw it coming and easily avoids it. They come back together in the center, and it's Peltonen who gets the first sustained attack of the round, hitting two hard body shots and a jab that caught Carlton on the nose. Carlton hits a straight right, enough to stop Peltonen from following up any further. The time expires with them standing. Not a great round for either of them or the crowd, it was very scrappy. The round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Peltonen. [B]Round 2[/B] Slow start; nearly a full minute of circling, occasional fakes, and long-range jabs. Neither fighter is creating much. Peltonen works an angle, but takes a low kick to the shin when he advances. They clinch, and end up with Carlton backed up against the cage. Peltonen gets a couple of right hands to the body, but his attempts at knee strikes are deflected by Carlton, who uses his legs well to defend. Peltonen pulls free and takes a step back, then powers in a right hand. Carlton gets out the way, ducks under a second right hand, and backs up to the center. Peltonen follows, and we're back to circling. Uninspiring action so far, they've both been fairly devoid of inspiration. Peltonen hits a couple of right hands, both hitting gloves, then a left hand to the body that connected. That was the best shot of the round so far. Carlton tags him with a flicked jab to the cheek, but it had virtually no power on it. Carlton leans in to a looping left, but it puts him off balance and it's only at the last second that he gets his chin out of the way of a vicious right cross that comes back. If that had hit, we may have had a knock out. Time runs out with them standing, circling again. The round ends. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Peltonen. [B]Round 3[/B] The two fighters circle. A series of looping punches from Peltonen forces Carlton back up against the cage, and he has to cover up to withstand the three strikes that follow. No real damage caused, but Peltonen is aggressively chasing this match. A hook finds the body and Carlton clinches. They almost lose their balance as they jockey for position, Carlton gets in a couple of knees when they regain their footing. Peltonen seems to be trying to break the clinch, it's Carlton who is holding it tight, perhaps hoping to calm the energetic start that Peltonen had. The referee finally does break them up, after nearly a full minute of inactivity. Peltonen fakes a right hand, then puts Carlton on the ground with a hard takedown. Peltonen tries to use the momentum to get a punch in, but Carlton cleverly uses that to his advantage and turns it so that he ends up in the guard of Peltonen. A few tentative punches from Carlton do no damage, and neither does a big left hand from Peltonen that merely grazed the shoulder. Carlton fires off two jabs, then swings wildly with a huge clubbing right hand. Peltonen didn't expect it, and got caught! It had a lot of power, and has knocked Peltonen out. Carlton instinctively gets another shot in before the referee comes to the rescue and pulls him off. Big knock out victory for Carlton. The official time is 7:46. [B]Winner: [/B]Jeff Carlton via Knock Out at 7:46 of Round 3. [I]After the fight Carlton is ecstatic, he says he had trouble during the first two rounds but in the last round he figured screw it and knocked that ****er out, Carlton says he doesn't care what people say about his stand-up he'll knock out the best of them![/I] Hiro Arai (17-3) vs. Gunnar Nilsson (18-3) [B]Round 1[/B] Arai works an angle and comes in from the side of Nilsson, getting two good jabs in before a ragged left misses by quite a margin. Nilsson hits a low kick to back Arai against the cage, then works the body with a series of short punches. Arai fights out and the action returns to the center. Arai hits a low kick, then moves in for a jab. Nilsson saw it coming and unloads with an enormous punch to the jaw. Arai goes down immediately, he has been knocked clean out by the power of Nilsson. Official time of the knock out is 2:52 of the first. [B]Winner: [/B]Gunnar Nilsson via Knock Out at 2:52 of Round One. [I]Gunnar Nilsson shows respect for Arai saying he's a great fighter that got caught, Nilsson says that he's here in ALPHA-1 the best he has ever been and he plans on leaving the Grand Prix as the winner and ALPHA-1 Heavyweight Champ![/I] Kunimichi Kikuchi (20-2) vs. Hassan Fezzik (26-0) for the ALPHA-1 Heavyweight Title [B]Round 1[/B] Slow start, both fighters are throwing tentative punches without threatening anything more powerful. Fezzik puts together the first exciting moment, stringing together four punches in quick succession, but Kikuchi defended well. Straight right from Kikuchi in response, but it caught nothing but gloves. They start circling. The referee tells them to fight, the lack of action so far is worrying. They get in close and exchange body shots, Fezzik probably getting the slightly better punches in, and then fall into a clinch. That goes nowhere, and the referee separates them. Kikuchi gets a nice kick in just before the time expires, but it's unlikely that is going to stop the judges giving that round to Fezzik. End of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Fezzik. [B]Round 2[/B] Slow start to the round. We're nearly a minute in before Kikuchi throws the first meaningful punch, trying to squeeze a fizzing jab through to Fezzik's jaw, but it is parried. Fezzik steps in, but has to quickly side-step to avoid a straight right. Kikuchi moves in to throw some body punches but gets clipped with a big right hand. It was partially blocked, it would have been a potential knock out if that had hit home on the chin, Fezzik put a lot of weight behind it. Kikuchi hits a nice jab, then clinches. Fezzik hits a knee, takes a punch to the ribs, then breaks free. Kikuchi hits a low kick to the leg. Fezzik bursts forward and scores with a big right hand to the body, then a left hook. Kikuchi goes down! Good shot from Fezzik! He tries to follow up and pound on Kikuchi, but Kikuchi is up really quickly and covers up to block the two jabs that come in. Fezzik, sensing that Kikuchi is rattled, starts coming forward with more urgency. Kikuchi ends up backed up against the cage. Fezzik gets within range, fakes a left, then lunges in with a huge right hand. It is partially parried by Kikuchi, who wisely clinches up tightly to get some time to recover. The power that Fezzik has in his hands is really posing Kikuchi some problems. The clinch drags on, with Fezzik unable to break free, and the round ends like that. The second round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Fezzik. [B]Round 3[/B] Fezzik doesn't exactly disguise his intentions for this round, going right to the center and motioning for Kikuchi to come and trade blows. Kikuchi wisely keeps back for the time being, content to throw long-range jabs. Fezzik isn't quite as content though, as he begins to stalk Kikuchi. They meet near the cage. Kikuchi hits a nice jab, then goes to clinch. Fezzik stops that with a powerful right hand to the body, then a fizzing left hook that glances off the side of the head. An attempt at a knock out right hand finds nothing but gloves. It is clear that Fezzik believes that he has the power to get a knock out here, his game plan appears to be to look for the one punch finish. Kikuchi is trying to keep moving, to not let Fezzik get set to throw a bomb. Fezzik is controlling this round by virtue of the knock out threat, as Kikuchi is being forced to fight somewhat defensively. Fezzik throws another big punch, narrowly missing, but does score with a follow up jab, landing just above the right eye. Kikuchi returns fire with a pair of jabs, both finding gloves. Time begins to tick away. It hasn't been the most exciting round, but Fezzik has controlled it and managed to land the better shots. The round ends. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Fezzik. [B]Round 4[/B] Kikuchi throws the first punch of the round, a high searching jab that didn't carry a great deal of threat with it. Fezzik throws a one-two combination in return, neither connecting, then steps in and delivers a hard kick to the outside of the thigh. Kikuchi steps back, throwing a right hand as he does to buy himself space. They circle, then move in again to exchange strikes, neither fighter getting a clear advantage. They come together again and the same result. It has become something of a stalemate at the moment. They come together to exchange strikes for the third time, and this time they wind up in a clinch. Fezzik hits a knee to the ribs. A couple of shots to the back from Kikuchi. They struggle all the way back, with Kikuchi ending up backed up against the cage. Fezzik hits another knee, but there wasn't much power behind it. Kikuchi stomps downward onto his foot. Kikuchi manages to reverse their positions, but that only lasts about thirty seconds before it gets reversed once more. Fezzik gets an arm free and tries to throw a big shot to the cheek, Kikuchi ducks under it and gets the arm back under control. The referee finally breaks them up, and we're back to where we started. Kikuchi tries a high kick to start, but Fezzik saw it coming and easily avoids it. They come back together in the center, and it's Fezzik who gets the first sustained attack of the round, hitting two hard body shots and a jab that caught Kikuchi on the nose. Kikuchi hits a straight right, enough to stop Fezzik from following up any further. The time expires with them standing. Not a great round for either of them or the crowd, it was very scrappy. The round is over. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Fezzik. [B]Round 5[/B] Fezzik starts with a high kick, but Kikuchi was well out of range. A looping left from Fezzik, but it's wide of the mark. Fezzik steps in and exchanges strikes with Kikuchi, neither fighter gets a particular advantage from it. Kikuchi parries away a nice right hand and gets in a crisp counter punch that catches Fezzik on the shoulder. The round has been a little flat so far, neither of them is really forcing the issue. They enter into a clinch, which doesn't help matters, and that seems to last for an eternity before the referee separates them and tells them to get on with it. Fezzik finally shows some fire, putting together a combination of two jabs, a cross, and an uppercut. Kikuchi did well to defend it, bobbing and weaving out of the way and using his gloves to parry away anything that was too close. He uses a low kick to the thigh as a response, then steps in and unloads with two fine punches, although Fezzik blocked them. Fezzik scores the best punch of the round so far, coming in fast, ducking under a dangerous right hand, and catching Kikuchi square in the face with a lunging overhand right. Kikuchi backs off and covers up, clearly having felt that one, and unfortunately Fezzik's attempts to follow up and thwarted as he gets tied up in a clinch near the cage. The time expires, with Fezzik probably having stolen that round thanks to that one big punch. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Fezzik. The official scores are: 50-45 (twice), 49-46 for Hassan Fezzik. Hassan Fezzik retains the ALPHA-1 Heavyweight title. [B]Winner: [/B]Hassan Fezzik via Decision. [I]After the fight Hassan Fezzik can barely even talk having just fought for fifty full minutes, he manages to say that it was the toughest fight of his entire career... he doesn't like going the distance in title fights at all and is going to finish his next opponent, the exhausted Fezzik barely manages to hold up the title belt before being helped to the back.[/I] [B]Quick Results[/B] Atep of Indonesia def.

Eien Kawano via Knock Out at 3:39, Round 1 [B]MAIN[/B] Leon Banks (11-3) vs. Heiji Endo (9-1) [B]Round 1 [/B]Fast start by Endo, who has thrown three crisp jabs in the first twenty seconds, although none of them got past the gloves. Banks circles, drawing a lunge from Endo, allowing him to score with a nice low kick to the front leg. Endo ignores that and darts in for a takedown, but only ends up holding one leg, Banks hopping on the other to remain vertical. Endo tries to push forward to complete the takedown, but Banks manages to pull them all the way back to the cage before ultimately going down. That's a much better position to be in though, he has his corner right there, and can use the cage to effectively cut off any form of attack to the left hand side of his body. Endo has one leg trapped between Banks's, and is struggling to get it free. He throws a couple of punches, none of them doing much damage, and then tries to work on one of the arms. It might be a kimura that he looking for. Banks defends it well, without fully escaping it, Endo can't really do a lot with it due to how much he is having to stretch to apply it, due to his leg being trapped. Banks suddenly releases the leg and scrambles up, looking to take Endo's back. Endo was ready for it though, and blocks it by pinning a half-standing Banks up against the cage. It's a precarious position for both fighters. Banks throws a couple of short-range punches. Endo gets a leg in and trips Banks, putting him back on the ground, albeit this time in full guard. It was a nice escape attempt from Banks, at least he can take heart from the fact that it resulted in a better defensive position. Time is running out, it looks like this round will end with them in this position. End of round 1. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Endo. [B]Round 2[/B] Endo hits some tentative punches, then comes in fast and forces Banks to back up against the cage, where they clinch. Endo hits a nice body shot, but takes two short punches to the side of the head in return. Banks tries a trip, but it doesn't go anywhere. They separate, with Endo having to stay sharp to avoid a scorching right hand from Banks. Endo scores with a low kick to the outside of the knee, then backs off. Those will take their toll. Banks responds with a right hand that hits gloves, a left hook to the body that stings Endo, then throws a spectacular head kick that connects! Endo was backing off after those two punches and didn't see it coming, he goes sailing backward, his body entirely limp. Banks has knocked Endo out cold with one brutally powerful kick. Official time of the knock out is 8:45 of the second round. [B]Winner: [/B]Leon Banks via Knock Out at 8:45, of Round 2. [I]Leon Banks talks about his highly controversial change from street fighter, to MMA competitor he says he's come to the sport of MMA and defeated all challengers and he is ready for a shot at the belt whoever holds it.[/I] Alberto Basora (8-2) vs. Fumiaki Hayashi (13-4) [B]Round 1[/B] They start the round with an exchange of strikes, all from fairly long range as they circle and try to work angles. None of the blows did any damage, either missing or being straight into the opponent's gloves. Hayashi is the first to land a worthwhile blow, hitting a straight right that catches Basora on the side of the cheek. Hayashi follows up by backing him up against the cage, throws a couple of big punches, but gets pulled into a clinch without doing any serious damage. Basora goes for a trip and almost gets it, but Hayashi is able to regain his footing at the last moment. Basora has Hayashi against the cage, and hits three right hands to the side of the ribs. Hayashi reaches down and picks up a leg, using that as leverage to topple Basora, who pulls guard. Hayashi starts pounding away and does some damage before Basora grapples and pulls him down into a clinch. Basora has both of Hayashi's arms tied up, preventing much in the way of attacking action. Hayashi uses some shoulder shrugs to the face, but Basora isn't going to be too bothered by that. Hayashi pulls one arm free. Basora still has tight control of the other, and brings his legs up, trying to apply an armbar. Hayashi sees it coming and blocks it easily, getting in a couple of punches for good measure. Hayashi steps through the legs and forces Basora to release the arm so that he can cover up against a series of strikes. Basora manages to ensare one leg though, and so Hayashi has to make do with being in half guard instead of getting the full mount that he wanted. Hayashi hits a couple of punches, takes one back, then attempts to get side control. Basora keeps him at bay. Time is ticking away, if Hayashi is going to use this position to finish the match, it had better be done soon. Hayashi pulls Basora's left arm to one side and straightens it out, perhaps looking to turn it into an armbar. Basora rolls over to stop the arm getting trapped.

Hayashi uses a knee to the ribs before backing Basora up against the cage. Right hand from Basora connects though, that was well timed. Hayashi breaks the clinch and backs off.

Basora fires off a low kick again, but it's well wide. They clinch. Basora gets in a nice knee, but a second attempt sees him swept to the ground.

Indeed, time ticks away with nothing breaking the pattern of occasional strikes and defensive positioning. End of the round. Blurcat.com gives that one to Bezerra by 10-9.

Bezerra circles, steps in, then unloads a combination of punches, but Nutnum weaves out of the way and scores with a beauty of a right hand, glancing above the right eye. That was some lovely counter punching from Nutnum, the timing had to be perfect and it was. Bezerra is looking a bit frustrated, and uncorks a ragged-looking uppercut that missed by several inches. Nutnum really should have taken advantage of that mistake, Bezerra was wide open for a moment there. Nutnum hits a high kick, catching Bezerra on the shoulder. Jab from Bezerra finds the mark, but it didn't have much power behind it as he was leaning backward too much. Nutnum fires off a couple of straight punches in response, but only finds gloves.

He promises his next fight he will go for the finish until the referee stops him![/I] Mizuki Watanabe (6-0) vs. Hanako Shimizu (2-0) [B]Round 1[/B] The two competitors start slowly, circling and looking for an opening. Shimizu fakes shooting in for a takedown, but Watanabe didn't buy it for a second. In comes Shimizu from an angle to the right, but Watanabe had it covered all the way, and not only easily steps out of the way of the attempted right hand, but manages to score with a solid right hand to the side of the head. Shimizu felt that, and is forced to cover up quickly as Watanabe steps in quickly and unloads with a flurry of powerful blows, looking to capitalise on the earlier strike. Shimizu is forced back against the cage, but to her credit, she did a good job defending those strikes and didn't seem to take any significant damage. Watanabe doesn't get in too close, realising that it would likely mean getting caught in a clinch, so she stands slightly back instead and throws some low kicks and looping punches. Shimizu responds by throwing out some straight jabs, but neither fighter is really doing any damage to their opponent. Watanabe clearly grows tired of the wait, and moves in to hit a body blow. It connects, but Shimizu is quick to tie her up in a clinch. That lasts quite a while, until the referee gets in there and breaks them up, telling them to fight. An exchange of punches goes nowhere, and they fall into a clinch. The referee separates them when nothing happens. Watanabe scores with a stiff jab, and bobs and weaves to avoid all three of the rapid-fire punches that come back from Shimizu. Nicely done. Shimizu, realising that she is losing this round, comes forward with a sense of urgency, throwing right hands to put Watanabe on the back foot. Watanabe handles it well though, refusing to let Shimizu get an angle, and using some nice counter punches to the body to further cement the fact that this round is going to her on points. Time expires with Shimizu throwing increasingly desperate punches. The round is over. Blurcat.com gives that one to Watanabe by 10-9. [B]Round 2[/B] The fighters come together right in the center. Watanabe throws out a jab, but Shimizu bobs out of the way and uses a right hand to glance a blow off the side of the ribs in response. Shimizu works an angle and storms in suddenly with three crisp jabs and a looping overhand punch, Watanabe covered up quickly but at least one of the jabs hit home. Shimizu is making Watanabe look sluggish in comparison, such is the speed and crispness with which she is delivering strikes. Watanabe hits a low kick before back-pedalling to avoid a clubbing blow. Shimizu looks to be working an angle. They meet in the center to exchange a flurry of strikes that gets the crowd on their feet. Shimizu got slightly the better of it, she definitely snuck through a right hand that rocked Watanabe slightly. Watanabe initiates a clinch, and the action grinds to a halt. Watanabe looks out of ideas, she is being repeatedly lured into these exchange of strikes, but Shimizu is clearly winning them. Watanabe needs to find some way to deal with them. Not much time left in this round. The referee separates them. Shimizu tries a speculative high kick, but Watanabe saw it coming and was well out of range by the time it came. Watanabe tries to work an angle, but Shimizu is having none of it and fires off a straight right hand to keep her from stepping in. Comfortable round for Shimizu, she will probably be disappointed not to have done more damage given her dominance of the striking in this round. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Shimizu. [B]Round 3[/B] The two fighters circle. Watanabe flicks out a couple of jabs, then an unconventinal looping right hand.

She looks to be keeping Shimizu in position, waiting to unload a big punch. Watanabe does, lunging in with a huge right cross, but Shimizu saw it coming and goes underneath it, scoring with a right hand to the gut on the way past. Watanabe turns and tries to follow up immediately, but gets tagged with a wicked left hook that drops her to one knee. Watanabe is up quickly, causing Shimizu, who was about to dive in, to back off. Replays show that the punch connected, but Watanabe was already going downward to duck the punch, so it wasn't as powerful as first thought. Watanabe throws a high kick, but it doesn't do anything but cause Shimizu to step back. The time expires without anything further of note happening. The round is over.

Fukazawa checks them, then comes in and clearly wants to trade punches. da Costa doesn't seem too bothered by that, and they enter into the first exchange of punches of the round.

Aldez scrambles though, and gets back to his feet without taking any damage at all. Yamada will be disappointed with that. Aldez comes in and throws two big right hands, but neither connects, and they put him off balance, allowing Yamada to score with a nice right hook to the side of the head, crunching into the top of the ear.

Leon Banks versus Heji Endo and Fumiaki Hayashi v Alberto Basora are like dream matches. Why didn't you pad those four records more and have the matches be main events?

[QUOTE]Leon Banks versus Heji Endo and Fumiaki Hayashi v Alberto Basora are like dream matches. Why didn't you pad those four records more and have the matches be main events?[/QUOTE] Well the way I have it set up at the moment for Leon Banks seeing as his nickname is "The Street Fighter" I'm modelling him after Kimbo Slice, so he isn't really ready for a dream match yet. Also I only really make a big deal about fights if the interest is above Very High :D hope that helps.
