Synticha Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 It was the early 1982. There wasn't such a thing as MMA. There wasn't the UFC, GAMMA or ALPHA-1. James Anderson among his friend Michael Sullivan were just two guys who loved to watch fighting. They weren't too good fighters themselves but they knew how to promote shows and how to handle business. They started to promote small fighting shows around Nevada. They managed to make a bit of money in the few years they were active in the small scale. When January of 1985 came, Michael and James decided that it was time for MMA to go pro. They started to gather people from around the world and by the end of January they were ready for their first event... WMAL 1: World Martial Arts League. (Sorry for such a small backstory but I hope that someone wont follow the diary because of that. This is a game which I started with a few databases mixed up. The databases are SynVerse (A WMMA 2 database which I never finished), Dawn Of MMA and an edited Dawn Of an Old Era Mod. The game will have all the fighters from these databases so get ready for some great fights between real world and C-Verse fighters. The SynVerse fighters are pretty much there to have fighters in the start of the game and most of them are on their late 30s.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synticha Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 WMAL 1: World Martial Arts League Preview The executives of WMAL decided to hold an 8-man tournament for the event. The participants are from everywhere around the world. We have Americans, a North Korean, a Brazilian and a Bulgarian. There are several styles on the display here and the show will be held at the end of January. Here's a preview of each of the fighters on the tournament. Kirk Bloss vs. Manol "The Smasher" Sirakov 41 - Age - 32 5'9 - Height - 6'3 215 - Weight - 260 "Boxing" - Style - Slugging Prichard, AL - From - Sofia, Bulgaria 0-0 - Record - 0-0 This fight will propably be a slugfest. We don't know too much about the fighters but Sirakov is a huge fighter where as Bloss is a lot older and smaller. Erwald Arnson vs. Chang-Sun Lee 36 - Age - 32 6'1 - Height - 5'4 205 - Weight - 185 Judo - Style - Widehan Yongdoja Finnspång, Sweden - From - Hamhung, North Korea 0-0 - Record - 0-0 This fight could go to the ground as Arnson is a judoka. We don't know about Lee's style but it seems to be a different way to describe brawling. Charles Braden vs. Derrick Buckley 34 - Age - 29 5'6 - Height - 5'9 165 - Weight - 185 Fighting - Style - Gigolo-style Eugene, Oregon - From - Tomball, Texas 0-0 - Record - 0-0 What do we know about these fighters? Nothing! Buckley described his style as his own version of judo but his style is actually meant to just tire the opponent on the ground. Braden is just a street fighter who hopes to win even if he's the smallest fighter in the tournament. Alexander Gould vs. Ricardo Costa 65 - Age - 22 5'11 - Height - 6'2 205 - Weight - 205 Boxing - Style - Muay Thai Prattville, Alabama - From - Cachimbo, Brazil 0-0 - Record - 0-0 Gould is an old bare-fist boxer who has gained some reputation for competing at such an old age. Costa on the other hand is a skillfull Muay Thai boxer who is looking to make his break in this sport rather than in Muay Thai. He also noted us that his brother is also interested to join WMAL. Quick Picks: Q1. Kirk Bloss vs. Manol Sirakov Q2. Erwald Arnson vs. Chang-Sun Lee Q3. Charles Braden vs. Derrick Buckley Q4. Alexander Gould vs. Ricardo Costa S1. Bloss/Sirakov vs. Arnson/Lee S2.

Buckley moved to side control and unloaded with big strikes and knees which were enough. The referee stopped the match at 5:28 giving Derrick Buckley the win via TKO(Strikes). The Aftermath: For the first time of the night the crowd actually cheered. Buckley was really ****y when he talked about himself which really pulled the mood down. Buckley moved to the semis and was the first WMAL fighter to finish a match! Tournament quarter final Alexander Gould vs. Ricardo Costa 65 - Age - 22 5'11 - Height - 6'2 205 - Weight - 205 Boxing - Style - Muay Thai Prattville, Alabama - From - Cachimbo, Brazil 0-0 - Record - 0-0 +360 - Betting Line - -460 Prematch: Costa comes with such a strong background in Muay Thai that Gould is a serious underdog in here.

He came with a much more impressive victory in the quarter finals. The referee in this match will be Donald Hughes. The Match: Arnson tried to take Bloss down as he knew that Bloss was a lot better stand up fighter. Bloss countered with a quality flying knee which rocked Arnson but wasn't enough to finish him. Bloss moved in to finish but Arnson managed to do a nice judo throw and he took Bloss down. Arnson began to unload from side control but got kicked away by a scrambling Bloss. Arnson moved in to try a takedown but Bloss' spinning back fist caught him. Arnson fell in slow motion like in the movies. He was out before he hit the ground! Bloss pulled an impressive win at 12:45 with a Knock Out(Spinning Back Fist).

Both are coming with impressive victories and Buckley's ground skills may be enough to stop Costa's stand up. Refereeing the fight is Daniel Browning. The Match: Costa suprised the crowd by taking Buckley down and making his way all the way to the mount. Buckley turned and showed his back and ended up getting finished with a state-of-art rear naked choke at 7:12. The Aftermath: Costa bursted to tears. His brother ran in to the cage to celebrate with his Ricardo. In the interview he thanked his Muay Thai trainer and he promised to deliver a good final! Tournament final Kirk Bloss vs. Ricardo Costa 41 - Age - 22 5'9 - Height - 6'2 215 - Weight - 205 "Boxing" - Style - Muay Thai Prichard, Alabama - From - Cachimbo, Brazil 2-0 - Record - 2-0 +570 - Betting Line - -720 Prematch: This is just... This is just wrong to bet so much against Bloss' abilities. He's coming with an epic knock out which really showed his stand up skills. This should still be relatively easy for Costa as his ground skills seem to be rather good. This match is for the WMAL 1 Tournament victory and the referee keeping the order here is Ole West. The Match: Bloss kept Costa at his toes in the stand up but soon he was pinned against the cage. Costa kneed him to the chest and rolled a nice standing guillotine. Costa became the WMAL 1 tournament winner with a win at 6:57 via Submission(Guillotine). The Aftermath: Costa crumbled to the ground and his brother and trainer jumped on top of him. They celebrated for a while.

Synticha Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 WMAL 2: Slow Chemical Preview The first pro No Holds Barred tournament held by WMAL wasn't much of a success but this time they're back with another tournament. None of the fighters from the last event is fighting at WMAL 2 but they promised that the action will be alot better than in the last event. This is our preview of WMAL 2: Slow Chemical. Tournament Quarter Final Hui Yang vs. Vin Graham 34 - Age - 34 5'8 - Height - 5'7 165 - Weight - 165 Muay Thai - Style - Kung Fu Galliano, Los Angeles - From - Newark, New Jersey 0-0 - Record - 0-0 They both specialise in stand up but Hui Yang is probably the better one of them. Yang is called a prodigy in the gym he's training Muay Thai. Graham has indicated that he will continue with the sport if it continues to grow. Tournament Quarter Final Ganelon Lamy vs. Gustavo "Argentinian Samurai" Bautista 36 - Age - 26 5'6 - Height - 5'7 140 - Weight - 155 Mixed Martial Arts - Style - Greco-Roman Wrestling Ottawa, Ontario - From - Santa Cruz, Argentina 0-0 - Record - 0-0 This fight will be an all out battle between two small fighters. Lamy is possibly the best fighter entering the tournament as he has trained kick boxing and wrestling for over 25 years now. Bautista is an upcoming wrestler looking to have a good tournament. Tournament Quarter Final Francisco Watson vs. "The Highlander" Cliff McAddam 45 - Age - 33 6'2 - Height - 5'11 205 - Weight - 202 Wrestling - Style - Gaelic Wrestling Columbia, Maryland - From - Motherwell, Scotland 0-0 - Record - 0-0 This will be a ground fighting war as both of the men are wrestlers. Watson works as a school wrestling teacher which should mean that he is a decent wrestler. Tournament Quarter Final Christopher Hill vs. Rickson Gracie 34 - Age - 26 5'5 - Height - 5'10 155 - Weight - 185 Jiu Jitsu - Style - Gracie Jiu Jitsu Sunninghill, Alabama - From - Rio De Janeiro, Brazil 0-0 - Record - 0-0 Rickson Gracie is coming from the Brazil and is son of the legendary Vale Tudo fighter Helio Gracie. Rickson will be one of the biggest threats of the tournament. Christopher Hill on the other hand is a lightweight fighter who seems to posses a huge KO power in his hands. When he sent us a video of him training he actually knocked his sparring partner out! Joseph Johnson vs. Michael Brown 30 - Age - 30 5'10 - Height - 5'8 190 - Weight - 185 Striking - Style - Wrestling Lexingtom, Kentucky - From - Washington, DC 0-0 - Record - 0-0 This will be one of our alternative matches to give the tournament fighters time to recover before the semi finals. Johnson is a good striker but Brown's wrestling should be enough to stop him. Kevin Fulton vs. James Armstrong 29 - Age - 30 5'9 - Height - 6'2 175 - Weight - 205 Bloody Fighting!! - Style - Striking Phoenix, Arizona - From - Miami, Florida 0-0 - Record - 0-0 Neither one of them really have skills in fighting. The match will be interesting to see as compared to others it should be a total street fight between two talentless fighters. Quick Picks: Q1. Hui Yang vs. Vin Graham Q2. Ganelon Lamy vs. Gustavo Bautista Q3. Francisco Watson vs. Cliff McAddam Q4. Christopher Hill vs. Rickson Gracie -- Joseph Johnson vs. Michael Brown Kevin Fulton vs. James Armstrong -- S1.

Synticha Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 I just decided to bring my old predictions winning award back. The winner of each prediction round gets to give 10 points to a skill of a fighter of his choice. So if you win you can give 15 points to Hui Yang's High Kick power etc. You can also separate the points between many skills. You can also give the points to a debuting fighter.

Synticha Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 WMAL 2: Slow Chemical Tournament quarter final Hui Yang vs. Vin Graham 34 - Age - 34 5'8 - Height - 5'7 165 - Weight - 165 Muay Thai - Style - Kung Fu Galliano, Los Angeles - From - Newark, New Jersey 0-0 - Record - 0-0 -150 - Betting Line - -110 Prematch: Two almost equal fighters are set to fight here. Will Yang's muay thai take him to the semi finals or is Graham's kung fu the stronger style tonight? The match: The fight was extremely equal with both men dropping each other and trying to submit each other on the ground. In the final minutes Graham was dropped by a big kick to the face but he was able to continue fighting. Hui Yang secured side control and soon moved to the mount. He began to unload with big strikes and Graham tried to roll him of but instead he gave his back. Yang was able to secure a nice rear naked choke at just 2:32 seconds to go. Yang is the winner at 57:28 via Submission(RNC) The aftermath: The fans applaud for a good fight. Even if the fight was long it was still packed with action. In the interview Yang said that he's in top form tonight. He promised to give his best in the next fight and he thanked his trainer for helping him try the MMA. Tournament quarter final Ganelon Lamy vs. Gustavo "Argentinian Samurai" Bautista 36 - Age - 26 5'6 - Height - 5'7 140 - Weight - 155 Mixed Martial Arts - Style - Greco-Roman Wrestling Ottawa, Ontario - From - Santa Cruz, Argentina 0-0 - Record - 0-0 -150 - Betting Line - -110 Prematch: Two people with wrestling backgrounds fighting but Ganelon has a good edge with his background in kick boxing. Lamy is possibly the only fighter in the world who could be called a mixed martial artist. The match: Bautista took Lamy down almost immidiately and made his way all the way to the mount. He began pounding away and soon he caught Lamy with a big strike which left his guard wide open. Bautista fired a few shots and the referee had to stop the fight granting Bautista the win at 10:24 via TKO(Strikes). The aftermath: Bautista suprised many with his win. He showed great wrestling as he managed to dominate Lamy in such a fashion. Bautista moves to the semis to take on Hui Yang. Tournament quarter final Francisco Watson vs. "The Highlander" Cliff McAddam 45 - Age - 33 6'2 - Height - 5'11 205 - Weight - 202 Wrestling - Style - Gaelic Wrestling Columbia Maryland - From - Motherwell, Scotland 0-0 - Record - 0-0 -160 - Betting Line - -110 Prematch: Another match between two wrestlers. Watson is comign in as a slight favorite and he seems to be the better wrestler here. The match: Watson easily took McAddam down and worked his way to the side control. He began to unload with massive punches and took the victory at 2:30 via TKO(Strikes) The aftermath: Watson did a quick job here and advanced to the semi finals. Watson is the biggest man in the semis wchich should be a big help for him. He will face either Rickson Gracie or Christopher Hill. Tournament quarter final Christopher Hill vs. Rickson Gracie 34 - Age - 26 5'5 - Height - 5'10 155 - Weight - 185 Jiu Jitsu - Style - Gracie Jiu Jitsu Sunninghill, Alabama - From - Rio De Janeiro, Brazil 0-0 - Record - 0-0 -140 - Betting Line - -150 Prematch: Rickson is a Gracie Jiu Jitsu black belt while as Hill is just a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu. Rickson is the favorite here with his probably superior ground skills. The match: As predicted Rickson took Hill down in an instant. He worked his way to the mount which took him a few minutes. Hill showed some great ability in the ground as he managed to block Rickson's submission attempts and he managed to get out of the side control and he caught Rickson into his guard. Rickson was still the better fighter and he started to pound Hill with fast and quite powerfull shots which almost knocked Hill out. The referee had to stop the fight giving Rickson Gracie the win at 8:50 via TKO(Strikes). The aftermath: This wasn't a huge suprise as Rickson is one of the greatest BJJ fighters in the world. Rickson congratulated Hill for his ground skills and then he spoke about the dominance of BJJ. He is set to fight Francesco Watson at the semis. Openweight match Joseph Johnson vs. Michael Brown 30 - Age - 30 5'10 - Height - 5'8 155 - Weight - 185 Striking - Style - Wrestling Lexingtom, Kentucky - From - Washington, DC 0-0 - Record - 0-0 -140 - Betting Line - -130 Prematch: This match is a "classical" grappler vs. striker match. Johnson has to keep the fight standing and Brown has to keep the fight on the ground which should be easy to him if he knows how to utilise his weight. The match: Johnson managed to keep the fight standing for 4 minutes but then Brown decided to use his pure strenght and he threw Johnson down to the ground and secured a solid side control. Brown started to throw good elbows which were enough to convince the referee to stop the match. Michael Brown at 5:51 via TKO(Strikes) The aftermath: Michael Brown took an easy victory here. He possibly gained a place at the next tournament. Openweight match Kevin Fulton vs. James Armstrong 29 - Age - 30 5'9 - Height - 6'2 175 - Weight - 205 Bloody Fighting!! - Style - Striking Phoenix, Arizona - From - Miami, Florida 0-0 - Record - 0-0 -130 - Betting Line - -120 Prematch: A possible stand 'n bang match. Both are stand up fighters which should make an interesting fight. Armstrong comes with a lot bigger reach and more weight. The match: The fight was extremely boring as both fighters feared each other's striking abilities. They circled around for the most of the match but James Armstrong did more damage which awarded him a win via Unanimous Decision. The aftermath: This wasn't a good start for either fighters career. Armstrong seemed to fear Fulton even thought he was the bigger man. Tournament semi final Hui Yang vs. Gustavo "Argentinian Samurai" Bautista 34 - Age - 26 5'8 - Height - 5'7 165 - Weight - 155 Muay Thai - Style - Greco-Roman Wrestling Galliano, Los Angeles - From - Santa Cruz, Argentina 1-0 - Record - 1-0 -130 - Betting Line - -140 Prematch: Yang had a very very long fight in the quarter finals and he probably doesn't have too much energy coming into the fight. Bautista on the other hand had a quite fast fight in the quarters and he probably has more energy than Yang. The match: Bautista shot in almost immidiately but Yang's right hand caught him and Bautista fell to the ground. Yang mounted Bautista. He began pounding Bautista but the strikes were pretty useless as they were blocked by Bautista. Yang tried to pull out an armbar but Bautista managed to counter it and he actually got a side control. Yang scrambled and got back up. Bautista stood up too and they began exchancing strikes. Yang caught Bautista hard and Bautista was down again. Yang kneeled next to Bautista and began to throw hammerfists but was soon sucked into half guard. Bautista tried his luck and tried to get a guillotine choke. He got it fully applied and Yang tried to get away from it but was unable. Bautista takes the win at 16:12 via Submission(Guillotine) The aftermath: Bautista was knocked down twice but was still able to pull the victory. He moves to the finals to fight against either Rickson Gracie or Francisco Watson. Tournament semi final Francisco Watson vs. Rickson Gracie 45 - Age - 26 6'2 - Height - 5'10 205 - Weight - 185 Wrestling - Style - Gracie Jiu Jitsu Columbia, Maryland - From - Rio De Janeiro, Brazil 1-0 - Record - 1-0 -110 - Betting Line - -160 Prematch: A guaranteed ground war as the wrestler Francisco Watson takes on Rickson Gracie for a spot at the WMAL 2 tournament finals. Rickson is the fan favorite here with his nice Gracie Jiu Jitsu moves. The match: Rickson suprised no one when he decided to shoot in almost immidiately. He took Watson down and got to the side control from where he moved to the mount. He tried to ensnare an armbar but Watson defended it and also stacked up Rickson and gained a good side control. Rickson scrambled and got to control Watson from the side. He locked in the arm triangle but somehow Watson managed to get away from it after being choke for ten seconds. Rickson looked frustrated and he tried to take the back of Watson. He succeed and finished the match with a good rear naked choke. Winning and moving to the finals at 8:18 via Submission(RNC)... Rickson Gracie! The aftermath: Rickson dominated the ground game of the fight. He said that he's really impressed by the submission defence skills of his opponents today.

Both men are coming in with impressive wins and both have shown great ground skills. The match: Rickson began with a takedown and Bautista had to pull guard.

The match is expected to go to the ground as Hill definitely doesn't want to stay standing here! The match: Hill connected with a huge right which almost knocked Sirakov down. The downside for him was that Sirakov's right did put him down! Sirakov had to clear his head and then he plunged after Hill.

Bautista's wrestling background is a huge advantage for him and if Bloss doesn't have a quality takedown defence he will lose. Bautista is the slight favorite according to the odds. The match: As expected Bautista tried to take Bloss down. As I said he tried. Bloss managed to stop 4 of the takedowns and after 17 minutes he finished Bautista off with a beutifull 1-2-3 combo. Right hook, Left straight and a Right Uppercut was enough to stop Bautista to his tracks. Bloss won the fight via TKO(Strikes) at 17:16 The aftermath: A slight upset for us at the WMAL as Bloss said that he'll retire after this one.

Hermanssons three last matches have been great from him and that's why he is a huge fan favorite in here. The match should be between Sirakov's right against Hermansson's right and left! The match: Sirakov missed his first punch (a HUGE haymaker) and Hermansson took his change. His right hand hit Sirakov three times to the face and Sirakov was down. Hermansson followed him to the ground, mounted him and started to throw huge shots! The referee stopped the fight awarding Hermansson the tournament victory at 1:13 via TKO(Strikes) The aftermath: "The Oil Guy" had a huge tournament!

You can actually see adverts about the events in the streets of Las Vegas. To honor that they bring you a superfight between Ricardo Costa and Rickson Gracie. This event will also hold a tournament with returning fighters and even some new ones! Tournament Quarter Final Mel Presljic vs. Sebastian Oster 39 - Age - 32 6'9 - Height - 6'4 320 - Weight - 220 Slobbering - Style - Boxing Pragersko, Slovenia - From - Ulm, Germany 1-0 - Record - 1-0 Presljic is easily the biggest man to step into the cage. He is 6'9 and colossal in every other possible way. Oster isn't a small man either but compared to Presljic he's just mere midget. Both men won their first match which were held at the same small event in Germany so they know each others style. Presljic took his win by using his huge size to pin the opponent to the ground where as Oster took the win with a punch that knocked his opponent out. Tournament Quarter Final Derrick Buckley vs. Hui Yang 30 - Age - 35 5'9 - Height - 5'8 185 - Weight - 165 Gigolo-style - Style - Muay Thai Tomball, Texas - From - Galliano, Los Angeles 1-1 - Record - 1-1 Both men are semi finalists from past WMAL events. Buckley got to the semis at WMAL 1 where as Yang got to the semis at WMAL 2. Yang told us that it was a huge disappointment for him to lose at WMAL 2. He is a great Muay Thai fighter but he hasn't show much of those abilities. Buckley on the other hand is a ground fighter and will propably take the fight to ground if possible. Tournament Quarter Final Mantas Andreyev vs. Shuuto Katagiri 28 - Age - 36 6'1 - Height - 5'8 205 - Weight - 165 Sambo - Style - Judo Yekaterinburg, Russia - From - Newark, New Jersey 0-0 - Record - 2-1 Shuuto was in the semi finals of WMAL 3 where he lost to the winner of the tournament, Kenneth Boomer. Andreyev is a legend in sambo and is known worldwide. He will be one of the biggest favorites of the tournament. Tournament Quarter Final "The Man of Honor" Adilson Costa vs. Hudson "Big Hud" Donohoe 20 - Age - 38 6'2 - Height - 6'6 185 - Weight - 280 Muay Thai - Style - Big Bad Punishment Cachimbo, Brazil - From - Los Angeles, California 1-1 - Record - 1-1 Adilson is the brother of the WMAL 1 winner Ricardo Costa. He was as succesfull in his first tournament as he lost in the semi finals to Frank Walters. Hudson also lost to Walters but he lost in the first round so we could've seen this fight in WMAL 3 if Hudson would've won. Co-Main Event of the Night Kenneth "The Boom" Boomer vs. Frank Walters 39 - Age - 39 6'5 - Height - 5'8 275 - Weight - 175 Street Fightin' - Style - Wrestling New York, New York - From - Atlanta, Georgia 4-0 - Record - 2-1 This is a rematch from the WMAL 3. Boomer literally destroyed Walters but this time Frank says that he's back with a revenge. Boomer holds possibly the hardest hits in the whole business where as Walters is a good wrestler with good submission skills. Main Event of the Night Ricardo Costa vs. Rickson Gracie 23 - Age - 26 6'2 - Height - 5'10 205 - Weight - 185 Muay Thai - Style - Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Cachimbo, Brazil - From - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 3-0 - Record - 3-0 Biggest fight of the WMAL this far. The two greatest Brazilian fighters in the world face off. Costa is a Muay Thai fighter who destroyed the very first WMAL tournament with his knees and impressive submission skills. Gracie is from the legendary Gracie family and he is possibly the greatest ground fighter in the whole world. He destoyed his competition at the WMAL 2 tournament faster than any of the other tournament winners. Quick Picks: Q1. Mel Presljic vs. Sebastian Oster Q2. Derrick Buckley vs. Hui Yang Q3.

The fights will last for 4 rounds which each last 15 minutes. There's 1 minute breaks between the rounds and if the fight lasts for 4 rounds, 3 judges will use the 10-point must judging to give us the possible winner.

He caught Presljic with a good left hook and knocked him down. Presljic recovers his withs quickly but doesn't get up quick enough and Oster gets to half guard. Presljic began scrambling and got up rather quick for a man of his size. They begin striking again but this time Presljic is extremely defensive and doesn't let Oster use his striking power. They circle more and more and finally Oster gets pissed off. Oster threw a series of jabs and as Presljic backed off, Oster charged with a flying knee which caught Presljic right on the chin and knocked him out! Oster won the fight at 14:43 of Round 1 via Knock Out(Flying Knee) The aftermath: Possibly the highest flying knee in the history of striking. This was a huge victory for Oster and a big set back for Presljic. Oster moves to the semis. Tournament Quarter Final Derrick Buckley vs. Hui Yang 30 - Age - 35 5'9 - Height - 5'8 185 - Weight - 165 Gigolo-style - Style - Muay Thai Tomball, Texas - From - Galliano, Los Angeles 1-1 - Record - 1-1 -160 - Betting Line - -130 The match: The first round was dominated by Buckley who kept Yang down for almost the whole round. We saw no strikes or submission attempts from neither one on the ground. The second round started with Buckley's huge slam. Yang was clearly rocked by it but he survived and managed to pull guard. From there began a battle between the two as Buckley threw punches and tried to move to side control and Yang tried to submit him. Yang tried to catch Buckley with an kimura and managed to sweep him. Yang exploded from the mount and threw big rights but his lack of ground experience showed and Buckley managed to stand up. Buckley took him down, worked his way to the back and tries to secure a rear naked choke. Yang managed to roll out of it as Buckley forgot to get hooks sinked in. Yang tried to stand up but Buckley kept him firmly in his guard and secured a nice triangle choke victory! Buckley won at 13:31 of round 2 via Submission(Triangle Choke) The aftermath: Buckley showed his ground skills and secured a firm win with an impressive triangle choke.

He used dirty boxing and elbows to score points. Katagiri pushed him away and began to strike with different combinations. The strikes are ineffective but they were used to set up a Judo throw attempt which was just about blocked by Andreyev who pushed Katagiri again against the cage. Andreyev threw occasional strikes to show some activity for the referee but after a few minutes the ref decided to seperate them. Katagiri threw a jab which was countered by Andreyev to pull Katagiri against the fence. He tried to take Andreyev down but was suprised by a tight Standing Guillotine! The pressure was too much and Katagiri scored a victory at 9:20 of round 1 via Submission(Guillotine) The aftermath: Impressive submission skills from the Judoka. He is going to the semis to face of the winner of the match between Adilson Costa and Hudson Donohoe.

They begin trading punches. Costa used good counter punching to score hits and out of nowhere he shoots in. In a blink of an eye Donohoe finds himself from the ground. Costa used his BJJ skills to move right to the mount. He immidiately sinked in an armbar and Hudson had to tap out! Costa won at 7:03 of round 1 via Submission(Armbar). The aftermath: Costa made his way to the semis with a lot better showing of skills than in the last time. Will Costa take the tournament win like his brother?

The referee awarded the win for Oster at 3:40 of round 1 via Knock Out(Punch). The aftermath: Oster's striking is really solid. Buckley didn't land a punch where as Oster really punished him with quality strikes. Oster moved to the finals.

Katagiri managed to stay standing but he had to back off a bit to clear his head. Katagiri shooted again and this time Oster stuffed him and started to unload punches as Katagiri was in a turtle-like position. Katagiri scrambled up and shooted again. This time Oster was more than ready and countered it with a barrage of right hands. Katagiri crumbled to the ground and Oster mounted him.
