Canadian Tournament Combat

[CageRage]

The year is 1998, and the frozen northern wastes of Canada have housed a barren MMA landscape for months, after the latest federation to try and find a hold, the Womens Extreme Fighting Federation, went belly up after just three shows. As 1997 marched toward it's end, former WEFF partner Bethany Tonks, and regional Canadian MMA legend Mark "CageRage" Addison were cloistered together, coming up with a format for a new promotion, a promotion that would leave all others in the dust! With the format set, and the full backing of Canadian I-Broadcasting, who would air the promotions shows on live television, calls were made to attempt to secure fighters, and the Canadian boys responded in droves, leaving the XCC, and even the hallowed halls of GAMMA, and ALPHA-1 to make their way home to compete in their own country! With the news that Tim Boyer had left GAMMA to join the promotion, along with JJ Reid, Petey Mack, Bobby Brubaker, and Benny Danare, among others, interest from other areas of the world began, and the best prospects, and unsigned fighters from the rest of the world began to converge in Ontario as well!

 

With the announcement that the promotion would house three Womens Divisions, including the first ever Womens Lightweight Division, women fighters from KDM FC, and XCC, as well as most of the old WEFF roster signed on, creating the largest, and most impressive womens contingent ever assembled!

 

They come from around the world to fight in a promotion unlike any other in the MMA world right now, to face the most gruelling test of their skills they've ever been put through, to fight in the toughest tournament in sport, they come to compete in...

CANADIAN TOURNAMENT COMBAT

 

 

 

(OOC: After asking a few board regulars (thanks to Jayden and petecrimson00 for taking the time to answer my question) how they managed to run their Bellator style games, I'm going to give the Bellator format another try! I've made a number of alterations to the database, I added my promotion (Canadian Tournament Combat), along with three TV shows with Canadian I-Broadcasting, and a PPV deal with Canada 1-Choice! I will be starting at 25% National popularity in Canada, and am based out of Ontario! I have deleted WEFF, and co-opted most of their roster, adding the contracts with my company in the editor! In order to staff both my womens featherweight, and womens lightweight divisions, I have given myself contracts with almost every womens featherweight fighter on the face of the earth, leeching freely from KDM FC, and XCC, there might be 10 featherweight women in the database that don't work for me! I have deleted the contracts of all Canadian fighters in the database with whatever company they worked for, and given them a contract with my company! When creating my mens divisions I did not allow myself (other than the Canadian fighters that is) to leech from other companies, everyone signed that isn't Canadian is a free agent at the start of the game usually! I added all 320 contracts across 10 weight classes in the editor, using the estimate button to determine what level of pay they would get!)

 

 

 

At all times, every Canadian fighter in the game world will be under contract to me, if I can help it, when new Canadians debut, I will sign them, and when Canadians retire I will hire their Canadian regens!

I will be doing tournaments in five weight classes per season, and will be attempting to keep consistency with which classes go each season, in odd numbered seasons, starting with season 1, I will run Womens Featherweight, Featherweight, Welterweight, Light Heavyweight, and Heavyweight, and in even numbered season will run Womens Bantamweight, Womens Lightweight, Lightweight, Middleweight, and Cruiserweight. For the most part I will stick to running a weekly TV show, though I will run an occasional pay-per-view to keep talent not in the tournaments in the public eye, since most fights on the TV show will be tournament fights. In the first two seasons I will be running two tournaments per weight class, one to determine the first champion of that weight class (between the top eight ranked fighters not coming off a loss), and the normal tournament to determine a #1 contender (between the second eight ranked fighters not coming off a loss)! Details of the first fight card, which will contain the Heavyweight Quarter-Finals will be up next!

Canadian Tournament Combat 1

 

 

 

Friday, Week 3, January 1998 in Ontario, Canada

 

 

 

MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final: Tim Boyer (24-3-2) vs. Sylvester Collins (3-0)

 

Tim Boyer is one of the toughest guys around to fight, a pit fighter, his 6'7 frame means he has a reach advantage on almost anyone with which to hit his massive, powerful strikes, and is adept at using the clinch, both for grappling, and with his devastating Muay Thai knee strikes! A former pro football player with the CFL's Toronto Argonauts, Sylvester Collins was a good amateur wrestler in high school, and used that skill to his advantage when he chose to pursue MMA as opposed to continuing in professional football, his main tactic is to obliterate people with his wrestling, but he has some power in his hands as well!

 

 

 

CO-MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final: Wilson Franklyn (5-1) vs. Mason Archer (15-3)

 

Wilson Franklyn is a former bouncer, and one of the most intimidating men in MMA, he loves nothing more than to load up his hands, and let fly, but can perform in the clinch as well! Mason Archer is actually even taller than Tim Boyer, and loves to use his reach to pepper his his opponents with jabs, and low scything leg kicks from long range, he is however vulnerable on the ground!

 

 

 

UNDERCARD

 

 

 

Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Chuck Dooley (3-0) vs. Sly Twinge (3-0)

 

Known for his explosive, virtually unstoppable double leg takedowns, Chuck Dooley is a wrestler, who just loves slamming opponents onto their back, and obliterating them with brutal ground and pound! A massively strong grappler, who loves to use his sheer physical strength to bully people around in the clinch, he also has power in his hands, but lacks skill on the ground!

 

 

 

Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Nate MacReary (2-0) vs. Damien Jones (2-0)

 

Nate MacReary is almost immovable to his opponents, his combination of size, freakish strength, and world class wrestling means once he has you at close quarters, your likely done for the night! Damien Jones starts swinging when the fight starts, and doesn't stop moving forward till it's over, his unrefined striking tactics are difficult to counter!

 

 

 

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final: Steve Mason (5-0) vs. Fletcher Merman (7-2)

 

A good young prospect, Steve Mason is a kickboxer, who has a wide range of strikes, including powerful leg kicks to weild against opponents, he also has an underrated ground and pound game! Fletcher Merman is a decent fighter, capable both on the feet, in the clinch, and on the ground, though he isn't really exceptional anywhere!

 

 

 

Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final: Graham Goodbody (18-9) vs. Reynolds Baer (4-0)

 

Graham Goodbody is definately on the downside of his career, big and strong, he is good at close quarters, working well from the clinch, and can land with power, despite his age, he can be a problem if underestimated! Reynolds Baer is huge, and uses his grappling to wear opponents down, so he can get to the ground, and use his ground and pound to finish the fight! His natural strength traslates to his strikes, giving him enough power to cause problems if someone wants to stand and trade!

 

 

 

Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Efren Luat (3-0) vs. Pai Cheng (3-0)

 

Efren Luat always has an enormous weight advantage, as he cuts considerable weight just to get down to 265, he has dangerous strikes, and very good grappling ability, but his one glaring weakness is his nearly non-existent cardio! Pai Cheng is a wrestler, with excellent grappling skills, who is nearly impossible to take down thanks to his excellent balance, he has raw power in his hands, and is a very dangerous competitor!

 

 

 

Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Iancu Trailescu (3-0) vs. Jacco Landeweerd (3-0)

 

Iancu Trailescu is a tall kickboxer, coming in at 6'10", and has powerful leg kicks, and though his punches lack power, his massive reach advantage makes them dangerous anyway, like a lot of tall fighters, he has a weakness on his back! Another of the seemingly endless number of top flight kickboxers being churned out of the gyms in the Netherlands, Jacco Landeweerd is a big bruiser, who should be a test for anyone at heavyweight!

 

 

 

Heavyweight Alternate Bout: Christopher Sharp (34-12) vs. Lachlan Bowen (8-5)

 

Christopher Sharp is an enormously powerful world class wrestler, capable of throwing grown men around like rag dolls, but his weak chin, and inability to defend submissions has limited his rise up the MMA ladder! Lachlan Bowen is a powerhouse wrestler, however, he has limited options in his arsenal for finishing a fight!

 

 

 

Heavyweight: Ozzy Bintley (0-0) vs. Sahan Ozbek (1-0)

 

Naturally tough, former professional rugby player Ozzy Bintley takes part in triathalons and other endurance contests for fun, and is trained in boxing, his obvious competitive drive means he will probably be one to watch in the future! Sahan Ozbek is mainly a wrestler, winning his fights from smothering top control, but he has some power in his hands, and so can't be underestimated while standing either!

Pre-Fight Press Conference Highlights

 

 

 

- CEO Bethany Tonks briefly went over the television schedule, Friday nights at 10pm EST on Canadian I-Broadcasting, and that the companies first pay-per-view show will likely be at the end of February! Then hands the conference over to match-maker Mark Addison, who will deal with the media regarding the actual MMA fight aspects of the promotion.

 

- A brief overview of the tournament format is given, when asked about rules the answer is that the promotion will follow the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts in most respects, except that there will be no rounds, Tournament Quarter and Semi Finals, and any one-off fights will have a 15 minute time limit, and Tournament Finals and Title Fights will have a 30 minute time limit!

 

- When asked about why the tournament brackets weren't in the standard top ranked fighter vs. worst ranked fighter format, the answer was, that like the old days of tournament MMA, the brackets were created via random draw! (ie. I used the list randomizer tool at random.org, and whatever order it put the names in was the order they went into the bracket).

 

- Tim Boyer said he was excited to fight in the tournament format, and that while he had respect for a kid like Sylvester Collins working hard to hone his craft, he expected to pick up the victory in the cage!

 

- Sylvester Collins said it was an honour to fight Boyer, and looked forward to testing his skill against a Canadian MMA legend!

 

- Wilson Franklyn claimed he would get a knock out over Mason Archer!

 

- Archer said they would find out in the cage tomorrow!

 

- Reynolds Baer said he should have no trouble beating an old man like Graham Goodbody!

 

- Christopher Sharp said he felt slighted that he wasn't included in either of the tournaments, and expected a victory in his alternate bout, and hopefully to get into a tournament anyway!

 

-Ozzy Bintley was excited to make his MMA debut, and looked forward to showing what he could do in the cage!

Canadian Tournament Combat 2

 

 

 

Friday, Week 4, January 1998 in The Maritimes, Canada

 

 

 

MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Welterweight Championship Quarter-Final: Bobby Brubaker (10-3) vs. Datuk Ong Ka Ting (5-0)

 

Taekwondo fighter Bobby Brubaker is a knock out artist with powerful strikes with both his hands and feet, his one weakness however is his inability to deal with high level wrestlers who can control him in close! "The Savage" Datuk Ong Ka Ting is a pitbull like fighter, who grabs a leg and won't let go until the opponent is on the ground, ready to be destroyed by Datuk's high level submission game!

 

 

 

CO-MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Welterweight Championship Quarter-Final: Zachary Gilbert (11-6) vs. Callum Henson (18-7)

 

Zachary Gilbert wins the majority of fights by controlling his opponent in the clinch with decent wrestling ability! Callum Henson is a Kung Fu fighter, known for his vicious, and powerful kicks, especially his scything low kick that leaves most of his opponents limping!

 

 

 

UNDERCARD

 

 

 

Welterweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Iain Fussell (3-0) vs. Heikichi Shimizu (2-0)

 

Iain Fussell is a versatile kind of fighter, able to strike and wrestle, but really at his best when he can get the fight to the ground, and work there! Heikichi Shimizu transitioned to MMA late in life, but is a living legend in the art of Judo, and with a lifetime of elite Judo skills at his disposal looks poised to take the MMA world by storm!

 

 

 

Welterweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Rich Robinson (2-0) vs. Houston George (2-0)

 

Rich Robinson isn't called "Hard Rain" by accident, but as a reference to his raining down bombs on downed opponents with his brutal ground and pound offense, he also strikes with power on the feet, and has an extensive wrestling background to fall back on! Houston George is a wrestler who likes to control his opponents up close in the clinch, if he can get the fight to the ground, he also has a decent submission game!

 

 

 

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Welterweight Championship Quarter-Final: Delroy Rhodes (6-0) vs. Marko Prochazka (19-12)

 

Delroy Rhodes is a kickboxer, whose use of unorthodox strikes, and love of keeping a quick pace in his fights makes him a definate crowd pleaser, as well as a very dangerous competitor! A master of the Russian Combat art of Sambo, Marko Prochazka has strong grappling and submission skills, and he earned the nickname "The Man of Steel" for his ability to take inhuman amounts of punishment!

 

 

 

Welterweight Championship Quarter-Final: Lloyd McAllister (12-3) vs. Agustin Gonzalez (8-3)

 

Lloyd McAllister is a decent kickboxer, who can pack quite a punch, as long as you decide to stand and trade with him he is a very dangerous opponent, however, his lack of ground game can be easily exploited! Agustin Gonzalez is a student of the art of Catch Wrestling, and loves to get in close with his opponents, and work dirty boxing, or smother them with grappling, and in the clinch!

 

 

 

Welterweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Juan de Castro (3-0) vs. Brad Wyman (3-0)

 

A good Muay Thai fighter, Juan de Castro is a dangerous opponent if you decide to stand with him, or he winds up in top control, but if you can get him on his back, or tie him up with wrestling, his threat disappears! Brad Wyman is blind in one eye, but that hasn't stopped him developing a decent striking game, with good Muay Thai clinch work, however, if you get in close with him, or get him on his back, he has no defense!

 

 

 

Welterweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Evan Gardner (3-0) vs. Louis De La Torre (3-0)

 

A talented young wrestler, Evan Gardner gets opponents up close in the clinch, or on the ground, and controls them for minutes at a time, he is also a decent boxer, making him a very hard fighter to strategize against, as he has no glaring weaknesses! Louis De La Torre is a ground and pound specialist, who has excellent takedowns, and nasty strikes from on top, he also has decent boxing on the feet, making him hard to formulate a game plan for!

 

 

 

Welterweight Alternate Bout: Diego Arteta (1-0) vs. Joe Hinchcliffe (20-12)

 

An elite level kickboxer, Diego Arteta's truly world class striking game is something rarely seen in MMA, with his mixture of precision, and power, he is truly hard to deal with on the feet, and decent takedown defense helps make sure the fight stays where he wants it! Joe Hinchcliffe is a veteran kickboxer, who can stand and bang with just about anyone, but is very one dimensional in his skill set!

 

 

 

Welterweight: Gideon Navarro (1-0) vs. Deacon Stawford (5-4)

 

Tapped as a potential future superstar in the Welterweight Division, Gideon Navarro is a wrestler at heart, and loves nothing better than to get an opponent to the ground, and apply joint locks, however he also has technically sound striking skill! Deacon Stawford is a wrestler, noted for his complete lack of cardio, he is known to gas jogging to the cage!

I'd suggest to you since you are using posters to download GIMP it is free and is just like photoshop. It would make your posters look alot less choppy. If you look at my old dynasty (which could be found by clicking my name, viewing public profile, and seeing threads I've posted) my posters are the perfect example of how easy it is to work.

 

oh and since I love the touyrny format.

Canadian Tournament Combat 3

 

 

 

Friday, Week 1, February 1998 in Quebec, Canada

 

 

 

MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight Title Quarter-Final: Sandy Oliver (3-0) vs. Haley Croft (5-0)

 

Sandy Oliver comes from a jiu jitsu background, and is among the best submission fighters in Womens MMA, when opponents think they have her down and out, her active guard is usually their downfall! At 6' tall kickboxer Haley Croft stands head and shoulders over most of the division, and uses her reach advantage well, to pepper opponents with long range strikes, however, if opponents manage to close distance, her clinch, and ground games are a weakness!

 

 

 

CO-MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight Title Quarter-Final: Samantha Sachs (5-0) vs. Yutsuko Sasaki (5-0)

 

Samantha Sachs is an Australian Judoka, whose throws and trips are enough to put anyone to the mat, where she can work her submission game, and choke opponents out! Yutsuko Saskaki is a wrestler, whose low center of gravity makes her takedowns hard to resist, once she gets the fight to the ground, she loves to rain down with vicious ground and pound!

 

 

 

UNDERCARD

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight Title Quarter-Final: Diana Marr (3-0) vs. Jocelyn Hescott (3-1)

 

Diana Marr is a taekwondo fighter who is known for her wide array of creative strikes, however she lacks finishing power, and has no ground game to speak of, but she is exciting to watch! Jocelyn Hescott comes from a wrestling background, and has good takedowns, however, she lacks any sort of finishing skill once she gets the fight to the ground!

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Alyson Arroway (2-0) vs. Piper Evergood (2-0)

 

Alyson Arroway is a good kickboxer, with a surprisingly effective clinch game, so as long as the fight remains standing she is always a threat! Piper Evergood comes from a boxing background, and has knock out power in her hands, she has also developed good takedown defense, allowing her to keep the fight standing!

 

 

 

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Grace Hughes (1-0) vs. Laura Adair (1-0)

 

A savvy submission artist, Grace Hughes is looking to use her training in the art of jiu jitsu to make her way up the rankings in the division! Laura Adair is a Muay Thai fighter, who loves nothing more than to get her opponent into the plum clinch, and devastate them with vicious knee strikes!

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight Title Quarter-Final: Eiko Shiokawa (3-0) vs. Henrietta Stein (5-1)

 

Eiko Shiokawa is a jiu jitsu fighter, who is a very dangerous opponent if the fight is on the ground, however, with no effective striking game, she has nothing with which to set up her takedowns, which sometimes makes it hard to get the fight where she wants it! Henrietta Stein is a good kickboxer, who has been a regular on the European circuit for years now, her ground game is a weakness, but anyone who stands and trades with her is going to be in trouble!

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Debra Everett (1-0) vs. Thea Higgins (2-0)

 

Debra Everett is a born fighter, who is hard to finish, and has good striking with her hands! Thea Higgins has one of the best double leg takedowns in womens MMA, and once she gets it to the ground, has no problem raining down the wrath of her furious ground and pound!

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Tiiu Kass (1-0) vs. Toshie Nishina (2-0)

 

Tiiu Kass is a trained boxer, and her combination of precision and power with her hands is her biggest asset in MMA, she is however very one-dimensional, and therefore easy to gameplan against! Toshie Nishina is a wrestler, who likes to get into the clinch against the cage, and wall and stall, punishing her opponent with dirty boxing!

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight Alternate: Daniela Sadorra (1-0) vs. Andrea Jones (1-0)

 

Daniela Sadorra is one of the best prospects in womens MMA, and is a very good striker, with amazing speed, and an arsenal of dazzling kicks, she is very exciting to watch! Andrea Jones is one of very few women trained in the art of catch wrestling, she loves to drag the fight to the ground, where she can use either strikes or submissions for the finish!

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight: Machiko Fujii (1-0) vs. Maya Komagata (1-0)

 

Machiko Fujii is a decent wrestler, who can finish in a lot of ways, with ground and pound, with submissions, or with smothering top control! Maya Komagata is a Karate fighter known for her powerful kicks, and elusiveness, but she has no idea how to deal with grapplers!

- Alyson Arroway, and Piper Evergood show mutual respect to one another, but each predict a war on the feet in the cage, and obviously each claims they will be able to pick up the victory!

 

- Thea Higgins says she will pound Debra Everett into the ground!

 

- Diana Marr predicts a tough task ahead in her bout with Jocelyn Hescott, but if she can maintain striking range, she will definately come out the victor!

Post-Fight Press Conference Highlights

 

 

 

- Match maker Mark Addison was apologetic about the calibre of the performance, and hoped to have a better showing with next weeks Featherweight Quarter-Final Show!

 

- Sandy Oliver, though achieving victory with her end of the fight takedown to sway two of the judges, said that she was disappointed in her performance, and hoped for a better showing next time out against Yutsuko Sasaki!

 

- Eiko Shiokawa was elated to achieve a finish of world-ranked fighter Henrietta Stein in such a short time, and looked forward to matching ground games against Jocelyn Hescott next time!

 

- Tiiu Kass said Toshie Nishina's fate would also befall Grace Hughes next time!

 

- Mark Addison announced that there would be a one week hiatus between CTC 5's Light Heavyweight Quarter-Final card and the start of the Semi-Final Cards!

- Mark Addison announced the signing of British prospect Christopher Drew to compete in CTC's Cruiserweight Division! Drew is a hulking bruiser, who will need some refinement before competing in any of the tournaments, but could be one to watch for in the future!

Canadian Tournament Combat 4

 

 

 

Friday, Week 2, February 1998 in The Praries, Canada

 

 

 

MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Lamont Banner (1-0) vs. Tyler Aidi (2-0)

 

Enormously hyped, Lamont Banner is the son of former World Champion boxer Douglas Banner Jr, and comes to MMA with a truly world class striking game to back up the hype, but he has also cross-trained heavily in wrestling, which makes him hard to get off his feet, and keeps the fight in his world! A decent Jiu Jitsu fighter, Tyler Aidi is dangerous on the ground, but presents no threat in striking, and so has nothing to set up his takedown with, and has trouble getting opponents to the mat!

 

 

 

CO-MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Featherweight Championship Quarter-Final: Foggy Lee (5-1) vs. Ryota Sugimoto (3-0)

 

Foggy Lee is a young Canadian fighter, who is a bit of an all-rounder, he has a competent striking game, though it's based on volume of strikes, rather than knock out power, and he is surprisingly adept on the ground given he is self trained! Ryota Sugimoto is short, and squat, and uses his powerful wrestling, combined with his low center of gravity to control much taller men, he also has a decent ground and pound game!

 

 

 

UNDERCARD

 

 

 

Featherweight Championship Quarter-Final: Yagi Jokichi (4-0) vs. Gregg Grable (19-9)

 

Yagi Jokichi is an elite karate fighter, and one of the most promising Featherweights out of Japan, his mastery of the art of picking his opponent apart with counter-striking causes a lot of problems for his opponents! Gregg Grable is a competent wrestler, who has fought most of his career as an undersized Lightweight, he has used the recent increase in volume and talent of fighters at Featherweight to drop down to his more natural weight class!

 

 

 

Featherweight Championship Quarter-Final: Britt Dickering (3-0) vs. David James Diggle (3-0)

 

Britt Dickering is a talented Muay Thai fighter who uses vicious knee strikes from the Muay Thai plum as his weapon of choice, while he lacks the power to be truly lethal, he is a fighter that cannot be taken lightly! David James Diggle is a Muay Thai fighter who loves to completely obliterate his opponents with elbows, and knees from the Muay Thai clinch, his striking is highly technical, but he is maddeningly inconsistent!

 

 

 

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Featherweight Championship Quarter-Final: Kei Maki (3-0) vs. Brian Claremont (4-1)

 

Kei Maki is an elite level kickboxer, considered by many to be among the best strikers among Featherweights, his combination of precision, speed, and power in his strikes makes him hard to deal with, and if he can improve his ground game he would be even better at MMA! Brian Claremont is a power puncher, who never stops coming forward after you, and never backs down from a fight! He loves to wing away with huge punches, which may not be the best strategy long term, but definately makes him exciting to watch!

 

 

 

Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Roger Bean (2-0) vs. Nuno Valentino (2-0)

 

Roger Bean is a kickboxer known for his unorthodox strikes, and excellent conditioning, and as such is a tough opponent in a stand-up battle, however, he has problems with grapplers! Nuno Valentino is a prodigy in the ground game! A black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, if he could improve his striking game he would be a true force in MMA!

 

 

 

Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Heiko Pander (1-0) vs. Hans Christian Bloch (2-0)

 

A crushingly powerful wrestler, with power in his fists, giving him an excellent ground and pound game, Heiko Pander is a very dangerous opponent for any fighter! Hans Christian Bloch is also an excellent wrestler, who relentlessly chases takedowns, and never lets go until his opponent is down, he can work ground and pound, but prefers submission as his means of finishing the fight!

 

 

 

Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Lito Alcala (1-0) vs. Josuke Hino (3-0)

 

Lito Alcala is the definition of a mixed martial artist, good at just about every aspect of MMA, he however doesn't really have a strong point in any one area to give him an edge over everyone! Josuke Hino is a devastating fighter when he is standing up, or has his opponent trapped in the Muay Thai clinch, but will have to work on the rest of his game to be a true force in MMA!

 

 

 

Featherweight Alternate: Gu Ueda (17-9) vs. Najib Sri Aziz bin Zai (38-10-2)

 

Gu Ueda is a veteran fighter in Japan, where he uses his technical boxing skills to pick apart opponents on the feet, he has no real B plan however, as his ground game is absolutely horrid! Najib Sri Aziz bin Zai is a Muay Thai fighter, who hits hard with elbows from the Mauy Thai clinch!

 

 

 

Featherweight: Alejandro Laguera (1-0) vs. Jefferson Mndawe (1-0)

 

Alejandro Laguera could be a future star at Featherweight, with his punching precision, and power making him a truly dangerous striker, an exciting fighter to watch, he also has a decent sprawl that keeps his fights on the feet! Jefferson Mndawe is one of very few African fighters on the planet, and is a good kickboxer, who can give opponents fits in a stand-up fight, especially noted for his head kicks, he is known to knock people out with that strike!

Pre-Fight Press Conference Hightlights

 

 

 

- Lamont Banner said he was very happy to really start his MMA career with the CTC, his dad always had a good time when he fought in Canada, and he had been having the same experience so far that day! Confident almost to the point of cockiness he promised a quick finish to his bout with Tyler Aidi!

 

- Aidi said Banner was underestimating his jiu jitsu, and he would be a much tougher opponent than Banner thought!

 

- Foggy Lee was confident in his ability to pick up a victory, though he did allow that Ryota Sugimoto would be a tough opponent. Lee was loose and easy going with the press and fans alike, joking and laughing throughout the conference, however he shared a very serious an respectful traditional bow with Ryota Sugimoto at the weigh-in pose downs!

 

- Gregg Grable said he was very happy that the Featherweight Division in CTC would offer great fights, and he looked forward to getting in the cage with Yagi Jokichi for his fight!

 

- Brash and confident David James Diggle promised a quick knockout of Britt Dickering!

 

- Heiko Pander and Hans Christian Bloch, good friends from training together in the Mantas Andreyev fighting academy, both expressed that they wished they had gotten another opponent in the random draw, but would nonetheless fight, and each claimed they would claim the victory!

 

- Mark "CageRage" Addison shared more details of the upcoming pay-per-view event CTC Sunday Night Fights 1: Archer vs. Clough, which would be headlined by a Heavyweight battle between Canadian Heavyweights Mason Archer, and Eugene Clough, and play host to an 8-man one night tournament between 8 up and comers in the Heavyweight Division, with a spot in the planned Season 3 Heavyweight Tournament on the line! While the random draw for the tournament has not been held yet, the names of the eight fighters were released: Tomoji Takoaka, Vittorio Pescatelli, Kanezane Fujii, Guy Broom, Sam Hoynes, Jozef Jankowski, Jutaro Honma, and Sylvester Collins!

CTC 4 Full Fight Card

 

Main Card

 

FW QF: Lamont Banner vs. Tyler Aidi

 

just because Banner's standup is near impossible to get past

 

FW Title QF: Foggy Lee vs. Ryota Sugimoto

 

Better wrestler of the two

 

FW Title QF: Yagi Jokichi vs. Gregg Grable

 

Lyoto Machida of the FW div strikes (or runs) again

 

FW Title QF: Britt Dickering vs. David James Diggle

 

Diggle is ridiculously good in one of my games, but could go either one with one big kick.

 

Preliminary Card

 

FW Title QF: Kei Maki vs. Brian Claremont

 

Hoping to see Maki live up to his enourmous potential

 

FW QF: Roger Bean vs. Nuno Valentino

 

Nuno's a beast.

 

FW QF: Heiko Pander vs. Hans Christian Bloch

 

Could go either way, but I like Pander more.

 

FW QF: Lito Alcala vs. Josuko Hino

 

Alcala is much more all rounded, should win this fight anywhere

 

FW Alternate: Gu Ueda vs. Najib Sri Aziz bin Zai

 

I think the other two should be the alternate, since these two are basically cans lol

 

FW Alejandro Laguera vs. Jefferson Mndawe

 

Laguera is more all-rounded, but could go either way as theyll probably strike the whole time.

Post-Fight Press Conference Highlights

 

 

 

- Lamont Banner was smug about his quick defeat of Tyler Aidi, and said he should have no trouble winning this tournament, as he feels his combination of skills is the best of anyone left in the tournament!

 

- Foggy Lee said that while Ryota Sugimoto had a tough wrestling game, he really didn't threaten at any point in time, and Lee obviously won the stand up! As the only Canadian entered in the championship bracket, Lee promised to do his best to bring home the first Canadian Tournament Combat Featherweight Championship, but there was a lot of work to do to get past the other great competitors left in the tournament! He stayed after the conference to sign autographs, and chat with fans, and press!

 

- David James Diggle grudingly admitted that Britt Dickering was tough, but ultimately held no threat for him, he expected the same from his next fight with Yagi Jokichi!

 

- CageRage announces that Brian Claremont sustained a concussion during his victory over Kei Maki, but it shouldn't hinder him from competing in the next round of the tournament!

 

- Kei Maki was unhappy with his loss, but wants to get back on the winning track soon, he has requested a bout with Najib Sri Aziz bin Zai, and with no significant injuries in the opening round of the competition, he will probably get his fight!

 

- Despite having to fight each other, and the fight being a rather lopsided victory for Bloch, Heiko Pander and Hans Christian Bloch were seen chatting with each other at the press conference, and look to still be friends.

 

- The televised card for CTC 6 was announced, and will feature both Heavyweight Championship Semi-Finals, Fletcher Merman vs. Reynolds Baer, and Wilson Franklyn vs. Tim Boyer, a Heavyweight Tournament Semi-Final, Jacco Landeweerd vs. Chuck Dooley, and a Welterweight Championship Semi-Final, Zachary Gilbert vs. Datuk Ong Ka Ting!

Canadian Tournament Combat 5

 

 

 

Friday, Week 3, February 1998 in British Columbia, Canada

 

 

 

MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final: Kendall Tracey (8-1) vs. Hyun-Shik Lim (10-0)

 

Kendall Tracey is a threat from any number of areas, he can box, wrestle, and has a good submission game on the ground, he is probably under the level of the elite in MMA, but is a dangerous competitor, who can never be taken lightly! Hyun-Shik Lim is an extremely popular fighter back home in South Korea, he is hard to finish, and has a savage attack style that is exciting to watch!

 

 

 

CO-MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final: Anthony LeToussier (12-0) vs. Jon Silvers (6-0)

 

Anthony LeToussier is an infamous trash talker, but unlike some trash talkers, he has the skills to back it up, a world class kickboxer, with powerful and precise kicks that few can withstand, and with an emerging BJJ skill set that means becoming dangerous on the ground as well! Jon Silvers is a boxer, who uses his reach advantage to pepper opponents with punches from long range, he has a good sprawl that helps him keep the fight on the feet!

 

 

 

UNDERCARD

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final: Glenn Pimm (30-11) vs. Mike Watson (9-0)

 

Glenn Pimm is a veteran of more than 40 MMA battles, and has used his strong wrestling ability to grind his way to decisions in almost three quarters of them! Known as The Man With The Fastest Hands In MMA, Mike Watson is known to knock people out with punches they didn't even see coming, he's not so great off his back, but his great sprawl means his fights don't go there much anyway!

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final: Ken Peters (8-0) vs. Jerry Bogdonovich (5-0)

 

Ken Peters is known for his excellent wrestling ability, and is known for chasing takedowns, and grinding out decision victories with smothering top control, he has almost nothing else in his arsenal, but he's so good at his specialty he wins fights anyway! Jerry Bogdonovich is a street brawler whose tactic in a fight is to come out swinging, it makes for exciting fights, but his lack of roundedness leaves him exposed against top level opposition!

 

 

 

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final: William Harrison (3-0) vs.

Adrian Pascal (2-0)

 

William Harrison learned an amalgam of many combat styles while serving in the US Army, making him a very dangerous competitor in just about every MMA situation imaginable! Adrian Pascal is a cardio freak, who will not gas inside the cage, he likes to grapple, and frustrate his opponents with smothering control, but also has power in his hands that makes him dangerous to strike with!

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Toby Sorkin (3-0) vs. Marcos Maciel (4-0)

 

Toby Sorkin loves to run his mouth, and fans come out just hoping to see him get his butt kicked, but his World level Judo skills, mean he usually has the skill to back up his trash talking! Marcos Maciel is a kickboxer who can outstrike anybody thanks to his combination of technique and power, his ground game isn't very good, but he has an excellent sprawl that means he's not down there very often!

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Guillermo Morales (7-0-1) vs. Dag Kreuger (3-0)

 

T-Bone Morales is a powerhouse, who runs through opponents in no time flat, he's very short, but packs a lot of muscle onto his frame, and his low center of gravity makes him hard to take down, and gives great power behind his near-unstoppable shot! Dag Kreuger is a powerhouse Light Heavyweight from Sweden, who uses his exellent takedowns to set up fight ending ground and pound, his striking game isn't much to talk about, but if he can improve it, he will be a top level guy in MMA!

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Jiroemon Hasegawa (3-0) vs. Nilton Fantoni (4-0)

 

Jiroemon Hasegawa is a no nonsense kind of fighter with a strong work ethic, he has an excellent base in both wrestling and jiu jitsu, but sometimes struggles against high level strikers! Nilton Fantoni is a top-level fighter, who combines elite Jiu Jitsu skills with a strong base in wrestling, his one weakness is his mediocre striking game!

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Alternate Bout: Trevor Murray (21-11) vs. Samuel Russo (16-11)

 

Not the most exciting fighter, Trevor Murray is a wrestler, known for taking his fights to the ground, and grinding out victories with top control, this has helped him rack up victories, but hasn't endeared him to the fans! A veteran of the Canadian MMA scene despite his relative youth, Samuel Russo is not a pretty fighter, but packs a lot of power in his fists, which allows him to pick up victories!

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight: Petey Barnum (21-13) vs. Ernie Bruns (17-10)

 

A journeyman professional, Petey Barnum can stand and trade with anybody, but doesn't really bring anything else to the table! Renowned for his conditioning and strength Ernie Bruns is a kickboxer who likes to stand and trade with opponents, but has a big weakness in his ground game!

Pre-Fight Press Conference

 

 

 

- Kendall Tracey and Hyun-Shik Lim were very respectful of each others fighting prowess, and were probably the most low-key people to speak at the press conference!

 

- The sideshow of course started with Anthony LeToussier, who immediately began taunting Jon Silvers, asking if he was some kind of pirate, and claiming this would be his easiest knockout yet!

 

- Mike Watson, though polite and respectful, was dismissive of Glenn Pimm as an opponent, and claimed it would be an easy victory!

 

- Glenn Pimm said if he could get in close, Watson's fists would be a non-factor and he could win the fight...he didn't seem overly confident though.

 

- William Harrison said he had great respect for Adrian Pascal, and looked forward to testing his skills against such a strong opponent, however, he was confident of his ability to win through to the semi-finals!

 

- Toby Sorkin claimed Marcos Maciel was just a striker, a dime a dozen in this business, and he could choke him out in his sleep! He also said he didn't see anyone in the Light Heavyweight Tournament bracket that would really challenge him, he would have been better placed in the Championship bracket where he could have some competition!

CTC Sunday Night Fights 1: Archer vs. Clough

 

 

 

Sunday, Week 4, February 1998 in Ontario, Canada

 

 

 

MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Heavyweight: Mason Archer (15-4, 0-1 CTC) vs. Eugene Clough (37-34-2)

 

Mason Archer was a casualty of Wilson Franklyn's vast punching power, as he was TKO'd in just over 3 minutes by Franklyn in their Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final match-up, he looks to get back to winning ways against Canadian MMA veteran Eugene Clough, a tough wrestler with a reputation for fighting anyone, anytime, and any place!

 

 

 

CO-MAIN EVENT: 8-Man Heavyweight Tournament (Season 3 Heavyweight Tournament Qualifier)

 

 

 

Quarter-Final Match-Ups

 

 

 

Heavyweight QF: Tomoji Takaoka (1-0) vs. Vittorio Pescatelli (1-0)

 

Tomoji Takaoka was a sumo star in Japan before making the jump to MMA, his sumo background gives him uncanny balance for a man his size, making him almost impossible to take down, but he lacks the striking or submission skills to be a true attacking threat! A powerful wrestler, Vittorio Pescatelli is tough to hang with in close, and once he gets you to the ground, he rains down his ground and pound for the finish!

 

 

 

Heavyweight QF: Kanezane Fujii (1-0) vs. Guy Broom (1-0)

 

Kanezane Fujii is certainly one of the fighters out of the East touted to be a future superstar, with strong background in both wrestling, and judo, he is very hard to deal with up close, but also has the power to be dangerous when swinging for the fences, and has good submission skills for a big man! Guy Broom is called "Boom Boom" for a reason, because once he gets you down, he unloads with massive ground and pound!

 

 

 

Heavyweight QF: Sam Hoynes (1-0) vs. Sylvester Collins (3-1)

 

Sam Hoynes could be a big star one day, a wrestler, he likes bullying people around in the clinch, before taking them down to unload with his vicious ground and pound! Sylvester Collins actually took place in this season Heavyweight Championship Tournament, lasting well into the final minute of his fight, before being blasted into unconciousness by a Muay Thai clinch knee strike from Tim Boyer!

 

 

 

Heavyweight QF: Jozef Jankowski (2-0) vs. Jutaro Honma (1-0)

 

A good kickboxer, Jozef Jankowski hits hard and often, and is absolutely devastating if given the opportunity, the rest of his MMA game however is not at the level of his striking! Coming from a Sumo background, Jutaro Honma loves to grapple, and work in close, controlling fighters with smothering force, however, his striking is mediocre at best, and he has trouble finishing fights!

 

 

 

Heavyweight: Steve Mason (5-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Sherman Shields (17-10)

 

Steve Mason competed in this years Heavyweight Championship Tournament, and though he did well in the stand-up, Fletcher Merman eventually got him to the ground, and finished him with ground and pound just past the 10 minute mark! Sherman Shields is a monster of a man, who uses his size, stregth, and wrestling ability to crush his foes into the ground, he is very vulnerable to submissions, but that shouldn't be a factor in this fight!

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight: Allen LeFleur (1-0) vs. Logan Sky (1-0)

 

Allen LeFleur was originally a wrestler, but has trained in kickboxing, and jiu jitsu as well since deciding to turn to mixed martial arts, he could easily fight at Heavyweight, but chooses to cut to Light Heavyweight to maximize his size advantage! Logan Sky is a fairly high level kickboxer, who is elusive on his feet, always looking for the opportunity to unload with his own offense!

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight: Kelly Andrews (1-0) vs. Kirsten Page (1-0)

 

Kelly Andrews doesn't look like much of a fighter, but that is very decieving as she uses her height, and reach advantage, and razor-sharp elbows to take apart opponents! Kirsten Page is a kickboxer, called "ThunderFoot" because she likes to finish fights with a big head kick!

 

 

 

Welterweight: Bokkai Iida (17-11) vs. Simon Vine (19-6)

 

Bokkai Iida is a jiu jitsu fighter, who is very dangerous on the ground with submissions, but is poor in the stand up, and struggles against strikers with good takedown defense! A bruising Welterweight, Simon Vine is a wrestler, that likes to control opponents in the clinch, take them down, and work his fight ending ground and pound!

 

 

 

Featherweight: Markus Waller (1-0) vs. Richie Stiller (1-0)

 

Markus Waller comes into MMA after placing very highly in the 1996 World Championship in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and is one of the most dangerous competitors at Featherweight on the ground, the rest of is MMA game however, is a work in progress! A tough Featherweight, Richie Stiller uses his kickboxing to batter his opponents with punches and kicks! He is tough to finish with strikes, but is vulnerable on the ground!

 

 

 

Lightweight: Duane Weatherly (14-8) vs. Roy Arnett (1-0)

 

Duane Weatherly is a kickboxer, who can cause a lot of problems for opponents if the fight stays on the feet, however, while he has improved his ground game significantly over his career, he is still vulnerable to submissions! Roy Arnett is a kickboxer, who is very dangerous if the fight stays in the stand-up, but definately needs to cross-train before he can step in with the big boys!

 

 

 

Heavyweight: Iancu Trailescu (3-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Sahan Ozbek (1-1, 0-1 CTC)

 

Iancu Trailescu came out on the short end of a kickboxing battle, when Jacco Landeweerd TKO'd him with less than 30 seconds left in the fight in their Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout! Sahan Ozbek got in just about no offense as he was TKO'd just over six minutes into his fight with Ozzy Bintley on the prelims of CTC 1!

 

 

 

Heavyweight: Marvin Stevens (21-10) vs. Phil Verdigree (20-14-1-2NC)

 

A super-sized fighter, who uses his sheer mass to control opponents, grinding out points victories with smothering top control! Phil Verdigree is a brawler from the earliest days of MMA in the UK, he has never been in very good shape, but picks up wins due to the power in his left hook, and an iron jaw that makes him hard to finish!

 

 

 

Heavyweight: Damien Jones (2-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Giovanni de Matos (1-0)

 

Damien Jones lost a unanimous decision when he was put in a crucifix by Nate MacReary and elbowed, and punched in the head for nearly 15 minutes in their Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final Match-Up! Giovanni de Matos is well known for his devastating leg kicks, and is a formidable opponent in an stand-up battle, however his ground game is weak, though he can defend himself!

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight: Markku Mikkola (2-0) vs. Toby Dingleberry (1-0)

 

Markku Mikkola is a wrestler, who is very good in the clinch, and loves to get into top control, and rain down ground and pound! Toby Dingleberry loves to sprawl and brawl, using his excellent sprawl to keep the fight on the feet, while unloading with massive punching power!

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight: Tracy Garcia (1-0) vs. Carmen Routhwaite (1-0)

 

Tracy Garcia is a decent BJJ competitor, who is very dangerous on the ground, however she lacks a decent stand up game to complement that, though she does have naturally heavy hands, so on the off chance she does connect, she usually can do some damage! Carmen Routhwaite is a kickboxer with a quick and precise striking style, and a good head kick, however the rest of her MMA game needs work!

 

 

 

Cruiserweight: Christopher Drew (0-0) vs. Frank Analysis (36-19)

 

Christopher Drew is a rookie competitor from England, an intimidating specimen, he uses his powerful strikes, and emerging grappling skills to bring the fight to whomever he faces! A brawler from the earliest era of MMA, Frank Analysis has punching power, and not much else in his arsenal!

 

 

 

Pre-Fight Press Conference Highlights

 

 

 

- Mason Archer said he was really looking to get back to winning ways, and hoping he could provide an early finish, but Eugene Clough is a tough competitor, and he wasn't looking past him!

 

- Sylvester Collins say he hoped to erase the memory of his early loss in the Heavyweight Championship Tournament, with a victory in tonights tournament, but Sam Hoynes was no soft competition, and neither was anyone else in the tournament, so he had his work cut out for him!

 

- Eugene Clough said he looked forward to fighting on a big stage in his home province, and keeping up his tradition of fighting anyone, anywhere, at any time in taking on a big name like Mason Archer, he planned to not be the easy victory Archer was looking for!

 

- Christopher Drew was excited to make his MMA debut, and promised to crush Frank Analysis as quickly as humanly possible!

Canadian Tournament Combat 6

 

 

 

Friday, Week 1, March 1998 in Ontario, Canada

 

 

 

MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Heavyweight Championship Semi-Final: Wilson Franklyn (6-1, 1-0 CTC) vs. Tim Boyer (25-3-2, 1-0 CTC)

 

Wilson Franklyn scored one of the biggest upsets of the opening round, as he smoked Mason Archer with some big punches, and followed him down to the ground with strikes for the TKO victory! He will have an even tough task this time in tough as nails Pit Fighter Tim Boyer, who dominated his fight with Sylvester Collins in the quarter-finals, though he took until 14:08 to score the knockout with a vicious Muay Thai knee!

 

 

 

CO-MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Welternweight Championship Semi-Final: Zachary Gilbert (12-6, 1-0 CTC) vs. Datuk Ong Ka Ting (6-0, 1-0 CTC)

 

In another big upset from the opening round of fights, Zachary Gilbert didn't land a standing strike, or score a takedown, but found himself on top after a scramble, and got behind Callum Henson to choke him out with the rear naked choke! While not as surprising to anyone with any insight into the Asian MMA scene, Datuk Ong Ka Ting's kimura lock victory over Bobby Brubaker stunned Canadian fans in attendance who were looking for the big name Canadian fighter to take home the victory!

 

 

 

UNDERCARD

 

 

 

Heavyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Jacco Landeweerd (4-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Chuck Dooley (4-0, 1-0 CTC)

 

In a pitched kickboxing battle Jacco Landeweerd took well into the final minute of the fight to knock highly touted Iancu Trailescu to the ground, where he followed in with ground and pound for the victory! Chuck Dooley wasted no time in disposing of quarter-final opponent Sly Twinge, as he hit one punch, took Twinge down, hit some strikes, defended a submission, passed to side control, and pounded on Twinge until the ref pulled him off!

 

 

 

Welterweight Tournament Semi-Final: Juan de Castro (4-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Heikichi Shimizu (3-0, 1-0 CTC)

 

Juan de Castro barely earned a Split Decision in his extremely boring quarter-final striking match with Brad Wyman! Heikichi Shimizu was in a pitched war with Iain Fussell, a war many felt Fussell was well ahead on the scorecards, when just before the 10 minute mark Shimizu caught Fussell in an arm triangle, claiming the victory!

 

 

 

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Heavyweight Championship Semi-Final: Fletcher Merman (8-2, 1-0 CTC) vs. Reynolds Baer (5-0, 1-0 CTC)

 

Fletcher Merman was well behind in a pitched striking battle with Steve Mason, when suddenly he knocked Mason to the ground, and pounded him out without much problem just passed 10 minutes of the fight! In a war on the feet, Reynolds Baer outpointed veteran Graham Goodbody on the scorecards to get his victory!

 

 

 

Welterweight Championship Semi-Final: Agustin Gonzalez (9-3, 1-0 CTC) vs. Delroy Rhodes (7-0, 1-0 CTC)

 

Agustin Gonzalez didn't have too much trouble with Lloyd McAllister, though McAllister landed on the feet for the first couple minutes, once Gonzalez got him down he dominated the fight before pounding McAllister out with strikes! Though Delroy Rhodes pretty much dominated his fight with veteran Sambo artist Marko Prochazka, not even his best strikes could break Prochazka's iron chin so he had to win on the scorecards!

 

 

 

Womens Bantamweight: Natalie Rogers (4-0) vs. Erica Page (7-2)

 

Natalie Rogers is a martial arts fanatic, who has studied Kung Fu extensively, despite her youth, a good striker known for her excellent technique, she also has an underrated ground game! One of the first women to compete in professional MMA, Erica Page is a solid wrestler, who loves to shut down her opponents with grappling!

 

 

 

Welterweight: Nik Minear (9-2) vs. Mauricio de Terreros (1-0)

 

Nik Minear is a pitbull-like fighter who goes after takedowns like a man possessed, then holds you there with smothering top control! A former boxer, Mauricio de Terreros looks set to be a force with his powerful punches, the rest of his MMA game needs work, but that power should keep him safe while he improves the rest!

 

 

 

Featherweight: Ivano Ancic (1-0) vs. Beau LuPone (1-0)

 

Ivano Ancic is a Muay Thai competitor with a competent striking game, if he can add some power to those strikes, and improve the rest of his game, he should be able to climb the Featherweight rankings! Beau LuPone is a good kickboxer with some good kicks in his arsenal, but is let down by his atrocious ground game!

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight: Piper Evergood (2-1) vs. Emi Nagano (1-0)

 

Piper Evergood, for all her striking skill, was outclassed on the feet by Alyson Arroway in her Womens Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final Match-Up, and finally knocked out just over four minutes into the fight! Emi Nagano is strong and well-conditioned, she can strike but is at her best when grappling, usually taking the fight to the floor, and winning with smothering top control!

Pre-Fight Press Conference Highlights

 

 

 

- Tim Boyer was confident of victory over Wilson Franklyn, despite the massive power Franklyn showed when taking out Mason Archer!

 

- Wilson Franklyn was silent...but his look spoke of violence!

 

- Chuck Dooley said he respected Jacco Landeweerd striking ability, but was confident that with his wrestling skill, and ground and pound, he would have no trouble attaining a victory in the cage, and advancing to the finals of the Heavyweight Tournament!

 

- Zachary Gilbert admitted that he was the underdog against Datuk, despite his victory over Callum Henson, but he had continued working on his game with the Slaughterhouse, and would definately give Datuk a run for his money!

 

- Erica Page said she was grateful that another promotion had opened in Canada that was willing to give women in MMA their due, and that she looked forward to a solid, competitive match-up against Natalie Rogers!

 

- Piper Evergood said she would definately get back to her winning ways today!
