Nephrinn Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 [FONT="Book Antiqua"][CENTER][IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/zxlsc7icsknd6s2m1vsk.jpg[/IMG] [B][U]Week 4, June 2007[/U][/B] The Modern Warriors TV broadcast took place last night, displaying some of the future talent the middleweight and womens divisions have in store for SIGMA. Here are the highlights: Natalie Rogers beat Katsuko Kajiyama by Unanimous Decision (***) Rogers shows off her talent and unquestionable dedication to the sport with a dominating performance over the recently signed veteran "Napalm" Kajiyama. Despite her initial and unexpected T.K.O. loss to Watanabe upon signing to SIGMA, Rogers is already heading back up the ranks. Pamela O'Neill beat Madoka Oichi by Unanimous Decision (**) Both of these ladies were recently picked up to prove they belong in SIGMA and O'Neill, despite not fighting in over 2 years, was able to get a solid win over the younger DFC fighter Oichi. Wanda Patinkin beat Gina Dixon by T.K.O. in 1:49 of round 2 (*) Another set of talented pickups for SIGMA, Patinkin showed off her impressive all-around game and deadly knock out skills over one time WEFF Lightweight champion Gina Dixon. Kimie Igarashi beat Roz Wareing by Submission in 2:57 of round 1 (**) Two of the most exciting fighters in Womens MMA went toe to toe and it was Igarashi's mastery of submission skills that proved to be the deciding factor. Hopefully, this will be a good sign of things to come in Igarashi's career after her disastrous display in DFC. Kit Sakamoto beat Sayoko Idane by Knock Out in 3:31 of round 2 (*) Veteran Kit Sakamoto was able to get a surprising knock out over rising star Sayoko Idane, which further proves Idane's jaw of glass is a huge liability in her game. Dennis St.Hubbins beat Marko Kowalski by Submission in 2:48 of round 3 (**) Rookie St.Hubbins gets a huge win over veteran Marko Kowalski and shows off his dangerous submission skills at the same time. A great 2-0 start for St.Hubbins. Bryan Morgan beat Chikafusa Abukara by Knock Out in 3:42 of round 2 (*) Despite his loss to St.Hubbins, Morgan gets a solid win over the proven, veteran fighter Abukara. Many believe Morgan has the skills to make it big in SIGMA. Bo-Bae Jo beat Shannon Palmer by Unanimous Decision (*) Little Jo gets a big, dominating win over rookie Shannon Palmer going 2-0 in SIGMA so far. Despite her small size, she's really got great heart, instinct, and a very explosive attitude in the cage. Marieke Van Gysse beat Diana Benes by T.K.O. in 2:19 of round 3 (*) Despite being tossed around by the larger statured Diana Benes for the first two rounds, Van Gysse really came out flying in the 3rd and secured herself a win. Van Gysse has the potential to be a big threat in the Womens division one day.

Nephrinn Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 [CENTER][FONT="Book Antiqua"][IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/zxlsc7icsknd6s2m1vsk.jpg[/IMG] [B][U]SIGMA 101: Mayhem[/U][/B] Blurcat Predictions: Kanezane Fujii via knock out. Guy Broom via knock out. Debra Everett via split decision. Rav Kapur via knock out. Aleksander Ivanov via knock out. Jessica Herbig via knock out. Del Robert via knock out. Thea Higgins via T.K.O. [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/ao95pqlbgylrhuvnh43.jpg[/IMG] Round 1 Slow start; nearly a full minute of circling, occasional fakes, and long-range jabs. Neither fighter is creating much. Watanabe works an angle, but takes a low kick to the shin when she advances. They clinch, and end up with Higgins backed up against the cage. Watanabe gets a couple of right hands to the body, but her attempts at knee strikes are deflected by Higgins, who uses her legs well to defend. Watanabe pulls free and takes a step back, then powers in a right hand. Higgins gets out the way, ducks under a second right hand, and backs up to the center. Watanabe follows, and we're back to circling. Uninspiring action so far, they've both been fairly devoid of inspiration. Watanabe 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. Higgins tags her with a flicked jab to the cheek, but it had virtually no power on it. Higgins leans in to a looping left, but it puts her off balance and it's only at the last second that she gets her 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. End of the round. Blurcat.com gives that one to Watanabe by 10-9. Round 2 Right hand from Watanabe was thrown with power, but bounced off the gloves of Higgins. Watanabe follows up by coming in close, but Higgins is ready with a straight right hand that glances off the side of the head. They come together, both throwing punches. Watanabe gets a nice clean shot in, and Higgins stumbles backwards and falls to the floor. Watanabe is on top of her quickly, and unloads with two more big punches, both connect solidly. The referee jumps in and pulls her away before a third is thrown, this match is over by TKO. Replays show the referee may have been slightly early. Watanabe wins via 2nd round TKO with the official time being 1:27. [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/pjtrsgu69miz2hnng09.jpg[/IMG] Round 1 Slow start to the round, Järvinen is circling while Robert seems content to just throw the occasional looping punch to cause him to back up. Järvinen steps in and fires off two jabs, neither connecting, then has to almost throw himself to one side to avoid a devastating looking punch! Robert was clearly looking for the highlight reel K.O. punch, had that connected there is no way that Järvinen was getting back up. There's a warning to Järvinen, he must now know, if he didn't already, that Robert has knock out intentions tonight. Järvinen throws a right hand, then backs up sharply, clearly not loving the idea of getting too close. Robert still looks calm, throwing the occasional jab or two to keep Järvinen off balance. Järvinen hits a low kick, then moves in for a jab. Robert saw it coming and unloads with an enormous punch to the jaw. Järvinen goes down immediately, he has been knocked clean out by the power of Robert. The official time is 3:39. [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/6m1d4jf0llrbx9208h88.jpg[/IMG] Round 1 Slow start, both fighters are throwing tentative punches without threatening anything more powerful. Herbig puts together the first exciting moment, stringing together four punches in quick succession, but Hill defended well. Straight right from Hill 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, Herbig probably getting the slightly better punches in, and then fall into a clinch. That goes nowhere, and the referee separates them. Hill 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 Herbig. End of round 1. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Herbig. Round 2 Hill pushes Herbig up against the cage in a clinch. Hill throws a knee, then a couple of short punches to the side of the head. Herbig pushes her away and steps in to score with an uppercut. Hill took it flush on the chin and is rocked! Another right hand drops Hill against the cage, and Herbig follows up by unloading with a barrage of punches. The referee gets in and pulls Herbig away, she wins the match by TKO. Herbig wins via 2nd round TKO with the official time being 1:34. [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/y688k8qjnw8qphf06g3.jpg[/IMG] Round 1 Right hand from Sharp was thrown with power, but bounced off the gloves of Ivanov. Sharp follows up by coming in close, but Ivanov is ready with a straight right hand that glances off the side of the head. They clinch, although it's an ugly-looking one. Ivanov forces his way to the side, still grappling for supremacy, and then manages to get all the way behind. Sharp gave up his back quite easily. Ivanov takes Sharp down with a variation on the suplex, but Sharp keeps his wits and makes sure that he is able to pull guard pretty quickly upon landing. Ivanov breaks the guard and stands up, leaving Sharp on his back. Sharp tries to keep Ivanov back with some up-kicks, Ivanov has to be careful not to get caught with them, they have power. Ivanov fakes a dive, pushes the legs to one side, and gets side control. Sharp tries to turn into it so that he can pull guard, but Ivanov isn't allowing it, and traps both arms, creating a crucifix position. Ivanov starts throwing punches to the face, Sharp having no arms free to block them. Big shot from Ivanov, that caught Sharp on the chin as he momentarily lifted his head while trying to struggle free. Sharp is out like a light. The referee jumps in, this is over. The official time of the knock out is 1:31 of round 1. [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/68qf1y6fiwuwcpjawxjl.jpg[/IMG] Round 1 Archer works an angle and comes in from the side of Kapur, getting two good jabs in before a ragged left misses by quite a margin. Kapur hits a low kick to back Archer against the cage, then works the body with a series of short punches. Archer fights out and the action returns to the center. Kapur steps back, and Archer comes after him , sensing an opening. Kapur suddenly puts the brakes on and swings for the fences, driving a right hand to the chin. Archer couldn't get out of the way in time and takes it full force. He goes down like a puppet with his strings cut, he is out cold. Kapur goes to follow up to be sure, but the referee cuts him off, calling a halt to the match. The official time is 2:57. [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/rbrsha5jt1wh1p2aftm.jpg[/IMG] Round 1 Paulson throws the first punch of the round, a high searching jab that didn't carry a great deal of threat with it. Everett throws a one-two combination in return, neither connecting, then steps in and delivers a hard kick to the outside of the thigh. Paulson steps back, throwing a right hand as she does to buy herself 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. Everett hits a knee to the ribs. A couple of shots to the back from Paulson. They struggle all the way back, with Paulson ending up backed up against the cage. Everett hits another knee, but there wasn't much power behind it. Paulson stomps downward onto her foot. Paulson manages to reverse their positions, but that only lasts about thirty seconds before it gets reversed once more. Everett gets an arm free and tries to throw a big shot to the cheek, Paulson ducks under it and gets the arm back under control. The referee finally breaks them up, and we're back to where we started. Paulson tries a high kick to start, but Everett saw it coming and easily avoids it. They come back together in the center, and it's Everett who gets the first sustained attack of the round, hitting two hard body shots and a jab that caught Paulson on the nose. Paulson hits a straight right, enough to stop Everett 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 ends. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Everett. Round 2 Slow start, both fighters are throwing tentative punches without threatening anything more powerful. Paulson puts together the first exciting moment, stringing together four punches in quick succession, but Everett defended well. Straight right from Everett 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, Paulson probably getting the slightly better punches in, and then fall into a clinch. That goes nowhere, and the referee separates them. Everett 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 Paulson. The second round is over. Blurcat.com gives that one to Paulson by 10-9. Round 3 The two fighters circle. A series of looping punches from Paulson forces Everett back up against the cage, and she has to cover up to withstand the three strikes that follow. No real damage caused, but Paulson is aggressively chasing this match. A hook finds the body and Everett clinches. They almost lose their balance as they jockey for position, Everett gets in a couple of knees when they regain their footing. Paulson seems to be trying to break the clinch, it's Everett who is holding it tight, perhaps hoping to calm the energetic start that Paulson had. The referee finally does break them up, after nearly a full minute of inactivity. Everett takes down Paulson, but is pulled into the guard straight away. Everett tries to unload with a couple of bombs, but Paulson safely defends them. Everett is leaning a little too far forward, which Paulson notices and tries for a guillotine. Everett didn't seem to see it coming, and is caught! Paulson wraps it up tightly and forces Everett to tap out! Official time of the guillotine submission is 8:15 of the third. Katy-Jayne Paulson is the new SIGMA Womens champion. [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/qjisdwqg7se02otfvvdp.jpg[/IMG] Round 1 Manu'a goes to the center, and immediately throws some jabs, looking to engage in a striking battle. Broom doesn't commit though, instead circling and looking for an angle. Broom comes in, ducks a right hand, then unleashes a flurry of punches. Manu'a covers up at first, then throws a scathing right hand, but Broom is already out of range. Broom repeats the trick, working a new angle, darting in, then firing off strikes while keeping out of the way of any counter punches. It happens a third time, and Manu'a is beginning to look frustrated. Broom's footwork and general movement is looking good, Manu'a is being made to look very slow and lumbering in comparison. Furthermore, Broom is being able to launch multiple short bursts of offense without really being in any danger, Manu'a has yet to hit any sort of meaningful punch, simply because Broom is too quick. Manu'a finally gets in close enough to grapple with Broom, clinching up. Manu'a scores a nice body punch, then steps back and goes for a vicious right hand, but Broom bobs out of the way and hits a right hook of his own. Time is ticking away, and Manu'a is well behind in this round, he needs to do something special. Manu'a swings for the fences, but Broom has no problem avoiding it. The round peters out. The round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Broom. Round 2 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 Broom, who then has to react quickly to avoid a right hook that was aimed right at the chin. Broom 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. Manu'a covered up well, and gets in a couple of shots of his own before moving out of range again. Broom with a body shot. Low kick from Manu'a, 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 Broom will take the round on points. The second round is over. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Broom. Round 3 Manu'a comes out fast, but gets hit with a counter right hand strike when he throws a left hand which was too high. Broom moves in and hits a nice body shot before they clinch. Manu'a gets in a short, sharp jab to the side of the head, it looked to hit right on the ear. Broom didn't like that, and scores with two knee strikes and a punch to the cheek. They break apart. Broom swings and hits a nice right hand. Manu'a fires off a series of sharp jabs, all hitting gloves. He throws out a looping left, but gets tagged with a punch to the jaw and stumbles to the ground! Broom dives in to finish him off, but he scrambles back up quickly and they end up facing off on their feet again. Replays show that the punch barely connected, it was more of a stumble on Manu'a's part than anything else. It might not look that way to the judges though. Broom looks more confident after that, and puts together a nice chain of strikes, ending with a scathing low kick that catches Manu'a on the outside of the calf. He definitely felt that. Time is running out; Broom will probably take this round on the judges' score cards, primarily due to that one dubious knock down. End of round 3. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 Broom. The official scores are: 30-27 (twice), 29-28 for Guy Broom. [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/4mvz6kcmvzet026x7b3.jpg[/IMG] Round 1 An exchange of jabs doesn't go anywhere. Curran fakes a kick, then darts in to score with a straight left before backing out fast to avoid a left-right combination from Fujii. They clinch, and Fujii winds up backed against the cage. A couple of minor blows get exchanged, but it's turned into a bit of a stalemate. Curran tries to push Fujii back, but can't. The referee waits a while, then separates them and gets them to resume. Curran comes in hard and fast, throwing a scorching right hand, but it's a long way wide and Fujii is able to clinch up. Curran hits a knee to the ribs, then a second. He goes to the well once too often though, as the third knee gets caught, and Fujii uses it for leverage to complete a takedown, ending up in Curran's guard. Fujii fights his way out into half guard. Big clubbing blow from Fujii, Curran dealt with it well. Fujii half-stands, his right leg still trapped between Curran's, and starts unloading with a barrage of bombing right hands. Curran takes one right to the jaw, then another smashes hard into his nose. More devastating punches rain down, and the referee pulls Fujii off, preventing Curran from taking any more damage. Fujii wins via TKO at 5:25 of the first round. Kanezane Fujii is now the SIGMA Heavyweight champion.

Nephrinn Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 [FONT="Book Antiqua"][CENTER][IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/zxlsc7icsknd6s2m1vsk.jpg[/IMG] [B][U]Week 4, July 2007[/U][/B] The Modern Warriors TV broadcast took place last night, displaying some of the future talent the light heavyweight and lightweight divisions have in store for SIGMA. Here are the highlights: Chad Zoff beat Sammy Newton by Submission in 4:23 of round 1 (**) The newly acquired talent Chad Zoff gets a big win over rookie Sammy Newton by submission, showing that he's a very versatile fighter. Jin Katou beat Jerry Bogdonovich by Unanimous Decision (**) These two veterans of the sport are looking to get something going, and while Bogdonovich had a good opening round, Katou was able to rally and get the decision. Anderson Desailly beat Antonio Williams by T.K.O. in 1:34 of round 1 (**) The masterful Muay Thai rookie phenom from Brazil gets a lightning fast knock out win over the rookie submission specialist Antonio Williams. Gordon Hill beat Joel Lin by T.K.O. in 4:26 of round 3 (**) Rookie Gordon "Blade" Hill gets his second knock out in a row after dominating rookie Joel Lin, who came off a great knock out win himself. Michael Fah beat Masahiro Maeno by Submission in 4:51 of round 2 (DUD) Rookie Michael Fah is well known for his great submission skills and he proved to be the better man as he submits the submission artist Maeno. Maeno drops to 0-2 now and it's becoming clear that he's only a one-dimensional fighter.

Nephrinn Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 [CENTER][FONT="Book Antiqua"][IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/zxlsc7icsknd6s2m1vsk.jpg[/IMG] [B][U] Week 1, August 2007[/U][/B] SIGMA is proud to announce the exclusive signing of Gabriel "Mad Dog" Gallego, who enters the welterweight division ranked at #2. The 37 year-old veteran has won the ALPHA-1 Welterweight title 3 different times and defended it as many as 7 times! He's expected to be inducted in the hall of fame when he retires, but plans to get something going in SIGMA before that happens. The Mad Dog (24-5), who's highly popular in the states, is expected to take on Mr. Battery himself, Jens Halle, sometime in the future in what will surely be a highly entertaining match up. In other news, Sukarno, who was expected to fight at SIGMA 102 against Patrick Thomas, injured his arm during training recently which will put him out for 1-2 months and missing the festivities. Ed Burridge has stepped up to take his place. [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/zxlsc7icsknd6s2m1vsk.jpg[/IMG][/FONT][/CENTER] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFC-KING Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 w00t :D, I love how you did this scenario, releasing all the contracts and having the 4 companies fight for the top, I love it !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephrinn Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 [CENTER][FONT="Book Antiqua"][IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/zxlsc7icsknd6s2m1vsk.jpg[/IMG] [B][U]Week 1, August 2007[/U][/B] SIGMA 102: Supernova announced! Fight Card: [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/dn78e2va4ooe7ogj2gk7.jpg[/IMG] [B][U]Main Event Tyler Lass vs. Evan Pizzarro for the SIGMA Middleweight Title[/U][/B] [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/yuobezf4gyrf3fbnjnh.jpg[/IMG] In what will be one of the most anticipated SIGMA events ever, Tyler "Thunder and Lightning" Lass will put his title on the line against one of the world's top pound for pound fighters, Evan "The Carpenter" Pizzarro. Tyler Lass is coming off of five wins, three of them coming from some of the world's best Middleweight fighters (Sukarno, Thomas, White). Three of those five ended in the first round and all of them were by knock out. Perhaps the reason for his success in knocking fighters out is because of his long arm reach. So, it is startlingly clear that Lass loves to finish quickly and by knock out, but, Evan Pizzarro is actually quite the opposite. Pizzarro is also coming off of five wins, again against some of the world's best (Kendall and Napier), but those wins come much later in the rounds. Indeed, he has won well more than half of his fights by decision rather than knock out, and that is probably attributed to how Pizzarro loves to show off. However, Pizzarro is far from being ****y or lacking instinct. Unlike Lass who has shown some weaknesses like impatience, Pizzarro is about as of a solid, all-around fighter as you can get. The biggest factor may be Pizzarro's iron chin, so Lass could be in for a surprise when he explodes into him early. [B][U]Co-Main Event Neil Napier vs. Adam White[/U][/B] [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/nlvoy2sbxbgjvjj92f2.jpg[/IMG] This fight may be as huge as the main event itself. The recently signed hall-of-famer Neil Napier looks to run head-on into another future hall-of-famer, Adam White for the third and final time. Neil Napier has been fighting for GAMMA most of his career, winning the Middleweight title there twice and defending it once before moving to DFC where he had mixed success (2-1-2). In fact, his first fight (and win) in DFC was against Adam White, submitting him in the 4th round. However, he lost to White two years earlier in GAMMA by way of decision, ending his title reign there. Most of Napier's wins come by way of decision, particularly because of his uncanny resilience and knowing how to pick his opponents apart. Perhaps the main difference between these two fighters is that White is coming off of three wins while Napier is coming off a pair of draws, which could mean White has a good bout of confidence on his side. [B][U]Match #3 Uwe Maier vs. Ethan Sutton[/U][/B] [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/van8x1js5trwwspogis.jpg[/IMG] Of particular note in this match is Ethan Sutton's incredible 6-win winning streak, which has got to make him look formidable to any opponent. What may be more important is the diverse ways he has won those 6 matches: 2 by submission, 2 by T.K.O. and two by decision, proving how versatile Sutton is. But let's not brush Maier off. He's had a longer title reign than Sutton has and not only has beaten the reigning champion Tyler Lass twice, but managed to knock out Sutton back in 2001 in the first round. Maier is also coming off two solid wins, so expect him to be fired up and glancing greedily towards another title shot. [B][U]Match #4 Patrick Thomas vs. Ed Burridge[/U][/B] [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/tbk5zfdn24ssbqju03y.jpg[/IMG] These two fighters are coming off some tough losses, especially Ed Burridge, who has lost his last 5 out of 6 fights. Patrick Thomas is probably the more diverse fighter out of the two and has a really great chin to protect him against Burridge's barrage of long range kicks. [B][U]Match #5 Noburo Shichirobei vs. Ronnie Allen Teller[/U][/B] [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/o9nvr4snoy3ekkfsda6u.jpg[/IMG] "The General" Noburo Shichirobei is a veteran of the sport and actually has an impressive resume with wins over greats like Adam White, Jon Head, Ethan Sutton, and more. Almost 90% of his wins come by way of knock out, so expect him to be firing away on Teller. He's also won the BCF title once and held it to one defense. Ronnie Allen Teller was recently picked up by SIGMA, having fought for almost every promotion except DFC prior. Like Noburo, Teller has held the BCF Middleweight title to not one, but three defenses and, more impressive, acquired the ALPHA-1 Middleweight title and held it to two defenses. So, Teller has had plenty of experience of being at the top. However, the enigma of Teller's career is that he's never really beaten anybody considered to be among the elite of the sport like Noburo has (he had a very early career win over Sukarno, but they were both rookies then). [B][U]Match #6 Leonardo da Costa vs. Andrew Rush[/U][/B] [IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/6kl793fxs4qtvrh7vrjq.jpg[/IMG] These two veterans of the sport are looking for a win here, especially Rush who is coming off of three losses following a stunning knock out win over Evan Pizzarro at SIGMA 75. da Costa is by far the fan favorite in this match, but Rush may have the slight advantage in having been thoroughly tested against some of the world's best fighters. da Costa would be smart to move to the ground early and avoid Rush's knock out power and work for a submission against Rush's mediocre defensive skills.

Nephrinn Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 [CENTER][FONT="Book Antiqua"][IMG]http://www.imagebucket.in/images/zxlsc7icsknd6s2m1vsk.jpg[/IMG] [B][U]Week 4, August 2007[/U][/B] The Modern Warriors TV broadcast took place last night, displaying some of the future talent the welterweight and heavyweight divisions have in store for SIGMA. Here are the highlights: Marlon John beat Henning Olsen by T.K.O. in 2:42 of round 1 (**) These two hardened, talented veterans went toe to toe in hopes of ending their vicious losing streaks and it was Marlon "The Punisher" John who succeeded in getting an early knock out victory of Henning Olsen, who moves to four losses in a row. Regardless of who won and who lost, both of these fighters still have a lot to prove before they could be considered a threat to the welterweight division. Steven Griffin beat Gordon Idle by Unanimous Decision (***) These wrestling-styled fighters actually held highly prestigious titles at once in their careers and are looking to get back to the top. Unfortunately for Idle, Griffin dominated Idle on the ground, giving him a decisive win and a solid move up in the division. Eddie Whelan beat Garry McSweegan by T.K.O. in 0:36 of round 2 (***) 38 year-old Eddie Whelan, who held the SIGMA Heavyweight title to as many as 5 defenses, the most in SIGMA history, gets a nice win in hopes of jump-starting his career. Both fighters have been on heavy losing streaks in the past few years, so hopefully this is good news for Whelan and a wake up call for McSweegan who falls to 5 losses in a row. Shawn Texas beat Eien Kawano by Unanimous Decision (**) Despite Kawano's vast experience, the rookie Shawn Texas, who has displayed great skills in both his stand-up and ground game, was able to fend off Kawano and secure an impressive win. Things are looking bright for Texas. Junior Patinkin beat Brad Smalls by Split Decision (*) Granted, Patinkin has slightly more experience in the cage, both are still considered rookies, but it was Patinkin who managed to squeak out a win over Smalls, who has a downright dangerous ground game. The win can be attributed to Patinkin's great submission skills, which seemed to really frustrate Smalls. Floyd Haywood beat Chester Levesque by T.K.O. in 3:37 of round 2 (**) Floyd Haywood was just recently picked up by SIGMA and he really proved he belonged here with a win over the rookie submission specialist Chester Levesque. Many consider Haywood to be one of the most underrated fighters in the world. Lukas Mellberg beat Naizen Hamacho by Unanimous Decision (*) The veteran Lukas Mellberg puts an end to his grisly losing streak with a win over the rookie Hamacho, who actually showed a lot of promise despite losing.

The referee quickly steps in and ends the fight, stopping White from following up. It'll go down as a TKO for White. As White celebrates, the doctor is quickly in to check on Napier. From the looks of things, he may have been dealt a concussion with that punch to the jaw, as he doesn't look like he knows where he is. Official time of the TKO is 2:43 of the second round.
