Canadian Tournament Combat 11

Friday, Week 4, May 1998 in Ontario, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Heavyweight Tournament Final: Chuck Dooley (5-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Nate MacReary (4-0, 2-0 CTC)

Chuck Dooley obliterated his way to the finals with ground and pound, scoring TKO victories over Sly Twinge, and Jacco Landeweerd, each in under three minutes! Nate MacReary had a slightly tougher road, scoring a unanimous decision over rugged brawler Damien Jones, and taking almost ten minutes to finally submit big man Efren Luat!

CO-MAIN EVENT

CTC Featherweight Title: Foggy Lee (7-1, 2-0 CTC) vs. Yagi Jokichi (6-0, 2-0 CTC)

Foggy Lee didn't show a lot of finish on his way to the finals, but outpointed both of his opponents, taking unanimous decision victories over Ryota Sugimoto, and Brian Claremont! Yagi Jokichi finished off veteran Gregg Grable in less than two minutes by TKO, and though it took a longer back and forth striking battle, he eventually TKOed David James Diggle as well!

UNDERCARD

Womens Featherweight Tournament Final: Grace Hughes (3-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Thea Higgins (4-0, 2-0 CTC)

Grace Hughes was a beast on the ground, scoring submission victories over both Laura Adair, and Tiiu Kass on her way to the finals! Thea Higgins meanwhile brought her opponents down, and pounded on them, earning victories on the judges scorecards over Debra Everett, and Alyson Arroway on her road to the finals!

Welterweight Tournament Final: Heikichi Shimizu (4-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Evan Gardner (5-0, 2-0 CTC)

Judo legend, Heikichi Shimizu's road to the finals took him through a submission victory over Iain Fussell, and then he showed his versatility, outpointing Muay Thai fighter Juan de Castro on the feet, to take a decision victory! Evan Gardner looked good in his fights as well though, scoring TKO victories over Louis De La Torre, and Houston George!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Middleweight: JJ Reid (24-6, 0-1 CTC) vs. French Dancer (4-2)

JJ Reid had a disappointing debut, as he got in next to no offense, and was outpointed in two judges minds, as he lost a boring split decision to Petey Mack! French Dancer is a Canadian fighter who has decent skills from his background in amateur wrestling, other than his grappling however, he brings little else to the table!

Heavyweight: Eugene Clough (37-35-2, 0-1 CTC) vs. Sherman Shields (17-11, 0-1 CTC)

Eugene Clough made his debut in the CTC against Mason Archer, in one of the worst fights in CTC history, a boring standup affair, Archer was awarded the unanimous decision! Sherman Shields only CTC bout was a lot more exciting, mostly because he was TKOed in just over a minute by kickboxer Steve Mason!

Heavyweight: Steve Mason (6-1, 1-1 CTC) vs. Phil Verdigree (21-14-1-2NC, 1-0 CTC)

Steve Mason was TKOed by Fletcher Merman in a back and forth affair in his Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final match-up, but later bounced back, TKOing Sherman Shields in just over a minute to get back to winning ways! Phil Verdigree landed a majority of strikes, taking the decision in a boring fight with Marvin Stevens!

Welterweight: Mauricio de Terreros (2-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Callum Henson (18-9, 0-2 CTC)

Mauricio de Terreros didn't have to wait long to pick up his first victory in the CTC cage, as in his debut he knocked out Nik Minear in just over a minute! Canadian Kung Fu fighter Callum Henson hasn't had much luck in the CTC cage, he was the victim of one of the biggest upsets in CTC history, when he lost by rear naked choke to Zachary Gilbert in his Welterweight Championship Quarter-Final fight, and was TKOed by veteran kickboxer Joe Hinchcliffe in his next fight!

Womens Lightweight: Hanako Shimizu (7-0) vs. Trish Biel (2-0)

Hanako Shimizu was one of the first success stories in womens MMA, bringing into the sport a striking game that is far above most of her peers, including brutal knee strikes! Trish Biel's standup game is not very good, but she makes up for it with a dominating grappling game that is making her a rising star in womens MMA!

Cruiserweight: Grant Shodwart (23-14) vs. Taye Burnett (1-0)

Grant Shodwart is a plodding heavyweight, a typical power puncher, with heavy hands and not much else, he has worked a bit on his wrestling later in his career however! He has announced that this will be his final fight in MMA! Enormously powerful, Taye Burnett was an amateur wrestler in his college days, and looks to use those skills to make his mark on the MMA landscape!

Cruiserweight: Vincent Chapin (21-15, 0-1 CTC) vs. Washi Shiginori (3-0)

Vincent Chapin fell victim to the guillotine of Norman Pike in his CTC debut! He has announced that he will retire following this fight! Washi Shiganori is a great striker, who can stand and bang with anyone, but he has a weak chin, and is very inconsistent, which will likely hold him back from the success he could achieve!

Note: I did my whole usual write-up introducing the card, and then managed to find a way to close the document without saving it , I just couldn't bring myself to type it all up again, so here's the card!

Note: I forgot to modify the Heavyweight Class like I said I was going to a few events ago, so Takaoka came in two pounds overweight (267) and will forfeit 20% of his purse to Boyer! With the Season 1 Heavyweight Tournaments over, Heavyweight will now run from 236-600 instead of stopping at 265.

Canadian Tournament Combat 12: Season 1 Finale

Friday, Week 3, June 1998 in The Praries, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Light Heavyweight Title: Mike Watson (11-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Hyun-Shik Lim (12-0, 2-0 CTC)

Mike Watson played around with Glenn Pimm a bit in his quarter-final bout, before finally knocking him out at just over five minutes, and his semi-final TKO victory over Anthony LeToussier was marred by controversy, as most claim the referee called a very early stoppage! Hyun-Shik Lim didn't suffer from any such controversy's on his way, using his savage stand-up game to knock out Kendall Tracey in the quarter-finals, and TKO Ken Peters in the semis!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Womens Featherweight Title: Sandy Oliver (5-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Eiko Shiokawa (5-0, 2-0 CTC)

Sandy Oliver's road through the tournament was fought through hard-fought decision victories, taking a split decision from Haley Croft in the quarter-finals, and a majority decision from Yutsuko Sasaki in the semi-finals! Eiko Shiokawa's fights were much quicker as she finished both her opponents, Henrietta Stein in the quarter-finals, and Jocelyn Hescott in the semis with standing guillotine's in under four minutes!

UNDERCARD

Featherweight Tournament Final: Hans Christian Bloch (4-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Lamont Banner (3-0, 2-0 CTC)

Hans Christian Bloch dominated Heiko Pander in their quarter-final match-up, submitting him via armbar in just under four minutes, he then had to grind out a unanimous decision victory over Nuno Valentino in the semi-finals! Lamont Banner blitzed Tyler Aidi in their quarter-final contest, scoring a TKO victory in just 57 seconds, but couldn't manage to finish his semi-final opponent, Lito Alcala, instead taking the unanimous decision on the judges scorecards!

Light Heavyweight Tournament Final: Jiroemon Hasegawa (5-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Toby Sorkin (5-0, 2-0 CTC)

Jiroemon Hasegawa used his grappling prowess to score hard-won decision victories, a split decision over Nilton Fantoni in the quarter-finals, and a unanimous verdict over William Harrison in the semi-finals! Toby Sorkin has a little trouble getting Marcos Maciel down, but eventually managed it, and almost nine minutes into the fight submitted Maciel with a rear naked choke, his semi-final opponent Guillermo Morales succumbed much quicker, being submitted with an armbar in just over two minutes!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Heavyweight: Christopher Sharp (35-13, 1-1 CTC) vs. Marvin Stevens (21-11, 0-1 CTC)

Christopher Sharp asked for this fight after achieving victory in his first bout, a TKO victory over Lachlan Bowen, however, he later lost by Knock Out to Graham Goodbody! Marvin Stevens is finally answering Sharp's challenge, Stevens dropped a split decision to Phil Verdigree in his CTC debut!

Womens Featherweight: Kelly Andrews (3-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Samantha Sachs (6-1, 1-1 CTC)

Kelly Andrews has managed to outstrike, and outpoint both her opponents so far in the CTC, scoring unanimous decision victories over Kirsten Page, and Tracy Garcia! Samantha Sachs dropped a unanimous decision to Yutsuko Sasaki in the Womens Featherweight Championship Quarter-Finals, but later bounced back, submitting Vanessa Phillips with an americana in her last fight!

Welterweight: Delroy Rhodes (7-1, 1-1 CTC) vs. Felix Matherson Jr. (3-0, 1-0 CTC)

Delroy Rhodes managed to eke out a unanimous decision victory over Marko Prochazka in the Welterweight Championship Quarter-finals, but was TKOed in a fantastic back and forth battle with Agustin Gonzalez in the semi-finals! Felix Matherson Jr. made good representation of his Keysi Fighting Method in his CTC debut, scoring a rear naked choke victory over Konosuke Shirahata!

Womens Lightweight: Veronika Sablikova (4-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Lula Baker (7-3)

Veronika Sablikova outstruck Alisha Wood in their fight, but was taken down twice, and subjected to ground and pound, with Wood earning the decision victory! Lula Baker is a brawler with a lot of power in her hands, however, the likelihood she would be able to grapple with Sablikova is small!

Welterweight: Louis De La Torre (3-2, 0-2 CTC) vs. Joe Hinchcliffe (21-13, 1-1 CTC)

For a striker, Louis De La Torre has landed very few strikes, and been utterly dominated twice in the CTC cage, first in a TKO loss to Evan Gardner in the Welterweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, and then in a loss by armbar to Gideon Navarro in the opening round of the Welterweight Qualification Tournament! Joe Hinchcliffe dropped a unanimous decision to Diego Arteta in his CTC debut, but TKOed Callum Henson in six minutes his next time out!

Light Heavyweight: Petey Barnum (21-14, 0-1 CTC) vs. Trevion Chymes (11-11, 0-1 CTC)

Petey Barnum didn't manage to land a single punch as he was utterly dominated by Ernie Bruns in a decision loss in his CTC debut! Trevion Chymes on the other hand, had a good back and forth fight with Joshua Hope, that ended in just over ten minutes, when Hope submitted him with an armbar!

Quarter-Final Match-Ups

Light Heavyweight Quarter-Final: Allen LeFleur (2-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Adrian Pascal (2-1, 0-1 CTC)

Allen LeFleur impressed in his debut, taking down touted kickboxer Logan Sky early, and finishing the fight with strikes for the TKO! Adrian Pascal played defense for most of his Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final bout with William Harrison, with Harrison finally taking him down in the fights eleventh minute, and tapping him with a rear naked choke!

Light Heavyweight Quarter-Final: Sharaku Kon (1-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Markku Mikkola (2-1, 0-1 CTC)

Sharaku Kon managed to land only a couple strikes in his CTC debut, as MacGregor Dare took him down twice, and finished him with strikes for the TKO in just over five minutes! Markku Mikkola faced Toby Dingleberry in his CTC debut, and in a back and forth fight, dropped the split decision to Dingleberry!

Light Heavyweight Quarter-Final: Emil Karlsson (1-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Jericho Stewart (2-0, 1-0 CTC)

Strange that a random draw should put these two together again, they both made their CTC debut at CTC 7 against each other, in a great back and forth striking battle, with Jericho Stewart scoring the knock out at 11:53!

Light Heavyweight Quarter-Final: Nilton Fantoni (4-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Dag Kreuger (3-1, 0-1 CTC)

Nilton Fantoni lost one of the most awful fights in CTC history, when he dropped a split decision to Jiroemon Hasegawa in a grappling match in the Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals! Despite being highly touted coming into the fight, Dag Kreuger was dominated by Guillermo Morales in a unanimous decision loss in the Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals!

UNDERCARD

Welterweight: Procopio Golias (14-4) vs. Zachary Gilbert (13-7, 2-1 CTC)

Procopio Golias has made a name for himself in Brazil as a tough competitor to face thanks to his mix of excellent grappling, and top control, that allows him to grind out victories, he is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Teco at FLB 8: Brave New World! Zachary Gilbert scored one of the big upsets of Season 1, when he knocked Callum Henson out of the Welterweight Championship Tournament, winning by Submission with a rear naked choke, but Gilbert was no match for Datuk Ong Ka Ting, succumbing to an armbar in their semi-final fight, Gilbert bounced back with a TKO victory over debuting Jeffrey Foxworthy!

Ken Peters dominated his Light Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final Bout against Jerry Bogdonovich, scoring the TKO in just 2:17, but was no match for the fury of the Blood Spirit in the semi-finals, as Hyun-Shik Lim finished him with strikes for the TKO in the semi-finals! Samuel Russo's CTC debut didn't go as planned, as he succumbed to the armbar of Trevor Murray at 6:42!

Light Heavyweight: William Harrison (5-1, 2-1 CTC) vs. Brody Howles (1-1, 0-1 CTC)

William Harrison defeated Adrian Pascal with a rear naked choke in the Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, before dropping a decision to Jiroemon Hasegawa in the semi-finals, he bounced back however, catching Logan Sky in the rear naked choke for a submission victory! One punch was all the offense Brody Howles could muster before he was taken down and dominated on the ground by Wink Deschanel, who finished Howles off with an americana at 3:39!

Light Heavyweight: Guillermo Morales (8-1-1, 1-1 CTC) vs. Toby Dingleberry (3-0, 2-0 CTC)

Guillermo Morales pretty much dominated Dag Kreuger taking him down at will, and landing with ground and pound to take an easy unanimous decision, however he was caught in an armbar at just 2:20 by Toby Sorkin in his semi-final bout! Toby Dingleberry has been impressive so far, taking a split decision from Markku Mikkola, and TKOing Kendall Tracey in just 50 seconds!

Light Heavyweight: Jerry Bogdonovich (5-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Jon Silvers (6-1, 0-1 CTC)

Jerry Bogdonovich got in none of his brawling offense as he was taken down and dominated on the ground by Ken Peters, en route to a TKO victory in just 2:17 in the Light Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Finals! Jon Silvers was schooled on the feet by Anthony LeToussier, who had no problem finishing him with strikes for the TKO in the quarter-finals!

Light Heavyweight: Marcos Maciel (5-1, 1-1 CTC) vs. Trevor Murray (22-11, 1-0 CTC)

Marcos Maciel was the first victim of Toby Sorkin's rear naked choke, losing to the judoka in the Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, but later bounced back, taking a decision from Ernie Bruns! In Trevor Murray's CTC debut, he took the win over Samuel Russo by Submission via an armbar!

Light Heavyweight: Joshua Hope (2-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. MacGregor Dare (2-0, 1-0 CTC)

In his CTC debut, Joshua Hope got the best of the grappling, and got two takedowns, landing some ground and pound, before finally finishing off Trevion Chymes with an armbar at 10:49! MacGregor Dare outpointed Sharaku Kon on the feet, before knocking him down with a punch, and raining down blows until the ref jumped in to award him the TKO victory!

Light Heavyweight: Logan Sky (1-2, 0-2 CTC) vs. Ernie Bruns (18-11, 1-1 CTC)

Logan Sky has had little luck in the CTC cage, with two quick losses to his name, by TKO to Allen LeFleur, and by Submission to William Harrison! Ernie Bruns has been going the distance in CTC, picking up a decision victory over Petey Barnum in his debut, before dropping a decision to Marcos Maciel in his last fight!

Womens Featherweight: Daniela Sadorra (3-2, 2-2 CTC) vs. Beckie Dexter (1-1, 0-1 CTC)

Daniela Sadorra lost her CTC debut, being submitted via armbar by Andrea Jones, but bounced back, knocking out Maya Komagata, and taking a decision from Piper Evergood to enter the finals of the Womens Featherweight Qualification Tournament, where she was submitted by Toshie Nishina! Beckie Dexter didn't have a good debut, as she was submitted by Andrea Jones in just over two minutes!

Light Heavyweight: Glenn Pimm (30-12, 0-1 CTC) vs. Wink Deschanel (2-0, 1-0 CTC)

Glenn Pimm was actually holding his own striking with Mike Watson in their Light Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final bout, when Watson clobbered him into unconciousness with one punch just over five minutes into the fight! Wink Deschanel took Brody Howles down with ease, and submitted him with an americana just over three minutes into the fight!

Womens Lightweight: Hanako Shimizu (7-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Shiho Konno (1-0)

In a largely uneventful grappling bout, Hanako Shimizu lost her CTC debut to Trish Biel by Unanimous Decision! Shiho Konno is a decent kickboxer, who can cause problems for those who don't take her seriously enough!

Heavyweight: Roope Kuqi (0-0) vs. Sahan Ozbek (1-2, 0-2 CTC)

Roope Kuqi is the son of Finnish veteran Veeti Kuqi, and has inherited his father's heavy hands, but has been training for MMA since a young age, adding wrestling and defensive skills to become a much more rounded fighter than his father was! Sahan Ozbek hasn't looked good so far in the CTC cage, racking up TKO losses to both Ozzy Bintley, and Iancu Trailescu!

Pre-Fight Press Conference

- Anthony LeToussier said he should never have lost his last fight, and certainly would never lose to a guy like Kendall Tracey who never wins a fight anymore now that they're not in GAMMA!

- Tracey remains calm, saying only that he will let his skills do the talking in the cage!

- Hanako Shimizu, desperate to score a win, and convince the brass she should be in the upcoming Womens Lightweight Tournaments, guaranteed a much better fight than her last outing, with her picking up the victory!

- Roope Kuqi was happy to come to North America to make his MMA debut in a promotion that houses some of the top fighters in the world! He hopes to make his father pround with a victory in his first ever fight!

- Allen LeFleur was complimentary of the other tournament participants, but looked forward to making his mark in competing with them in the tournament!

Predictions

Jingo 65% (13 of 20) (Season Total: 59% (89 of 151))

petecrimson00 (Season Total: 68% (41 of 60))

Well, I was originally going to award this based on percentage, but all the competition dropped out halfway through the season, and Jingo more than doubled on both predictions in total, and correct predictions.

So I'm going to award the Season 1 Prediction Contest to Jingo!

Jingo, the following are the weight classes that will be holding tournaments in Season 2, you will be able to select a competitor to compete in one of the tournament brackets (15 of the competitors in each weight class are already selected, so the list for you to choose from won't be long!)

Womens Bantamweight

Womens Lightweight

Lightweight

Middleweight

Cruiserweight

PM me with the weight class you wish to choose a fighter from, and I'll send you the list of eligible fighters from that weight class, then choose one fighter to enter the tournament at that weight class!

Canadian Tournament Combat 13: Season 2 Premiere

Friday, Week 1, July 1998 in Ontario, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Welterweight Title: Datuk Ong Ka Ting (8-0, 3-0 CTC) vs. Evan Gardner (6-0, 3-0 CTC)

Datuk Ong Ka Ting was a beast on the ground, getting the best of the ground game, and scoring submission finishes over Bobby Brubaker, Zachary Gilbert, and Agustin Gonzalez in order to take home the Welterweight Title! Evan Gardner used his wrestling prowess, and lethal ground striking abilities to win the Season 1 Welterweight Tournament, along the way scoring TKO victories over Louis De La Torre, Houston George, and Heikichi Shimizu!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Cruiserweight Championship Quarter-Final: Stan Blackheath (20-9) vs. Norman Pike (17-4, 1-0 CTC)

Stan Blackheath is from the old guard, the first generation of one dimensional fighters, and is a brawler, who likes to stand and trade, but doesn't bring much else to the table! Norman Pike used his submission skills to take the victory by standing guillotine over Vincent Chapin in his CTC debut!

UNDERCARD

Cruiserweight Championship Quarter-Final: Khru Duangjan (12-1, 1-0 CTC) vs. Washi Shiganori (4-0, 1-0 CTC)

Khru Duangjan brought the pain in his first fight inside the CTC cage, knocking down Russell McPhee, and finishing him off quickly with strikes in just over 6 minutes inside the cage! Washi Shiganori dominated on the feet in his very short fight with Vincent Chapin, scoring a TKO victory in just 1:09 in Chapin's retirement bout!

Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Matthew Michael Kirby (2-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Christopher Drew (1-0, 1-0 CTC)

Two young brawlers enter the tournament, each looking to prove that they are the real deal, who will come out on top! Matthew Michael Kirby was perfect in his first trip into the CTC cage, scoring with all four thrown punches, knocking out Collins Lundie in just 34 seconds! Christopher Drew also looked good, winning the battle on the feet, and following to the ground for the TKO victory over Frank Analysis in his debut!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Cruiserweight Championship Quarter-Final: Rupert Dreck (5-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Linton Renn (4-1)

Rupert Dreck had more trouble than many thought he would in his CTC debut, as he couldn't finish veteran kickboxer Soren Jellyman, but dominated in all aspects of the fight, scoring the unanimous decision victory! Linton Renn is a big powerful fighter, capable of smother his opponents with grappling, he also has heavy hands, though isn't much for striking technique!

Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Gustavo Spagnol (3-0) vs. Taye Burnett (2-0, 1-0 CTC)

One of the best ground and pound specialists in MMA, his tactics revolve around his excellent takedowns, and vicious strikes from on top, otherwise he's unexceptional, but he's so good at his specialty that usually doesn't really matter! Taye Burnett was actually most likely losing his fight with Grant Shodwart, when he finally took him down just after the 14 minutes mark, and scored the submission victory via armbar!

Cruiserweight Championship Quarter-Final: Julio Correa (6-0) vs. Nestor Morozov (21-11-1)

Julio Correa is a solid fighter, with his main weapons being his hands, as his boxing is on a level to challenge most, and he also has underrated grappling, and can defend off his back! Nestor Morozov is a ground and pound fighter, who has been around since before the term MMA existed, he is good at using the clinch to set up his takedowns, as well as deliver dirty boxing!

Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Otto Renner (4-1) vs. Silvio Leite (3-0)

Otto Renner is a powerful wrestler, who likes nothing better than to get his opponent off their feet, and alternate between smothering top control, and vicious ground and pound! Silvio Leite is a wrestler who has very little dimension, he just tries to get his opponent down, and smother him into a decision loss!

Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Terry Catt (4-0) vs. Naozane Yamaguchiya (5-0)

Terry Catt is a good wrestler, with strong grappling skills, but he has cross-trained in other disciplines to become a better MMA fighter! A powerhouse wrestler, Naozane "Big Baby" Yamaguchiya has one thing on his mind, to flatten his opponent with a takedown, and pound on him till the ref stops the fight!

Cruiserweight Alternate: Logan Bluffer (1-0) vs. Ranieri Fernanda (3-0)

Logan Bluffer is a fine young wrestler, who likes to take people down, and beat them up, his striking skills are a work in progress, but he is early in his transition to MMA, and has time to improve! Ranieri Fernanda is a wrestler who likes to work from close range, where his massive strength makes him difficult to deal with, despite his physical dominance, he has trouble finishing people, usually winning on the scorecards!

Pre-Fight Press Conference Highlights

- Mark Addison announced the beginning of Season 2 of Canadian Tournament Combat, where 2 tournaments will be held in each of five divisions: Cruiserweight, Womens Bantamweight, Lightweight, Womens Lightweight, and Middleweight! One tournament will determine the first ever CTC champion in that weight class, and the other will be the more standard #1 contender tournament!

- Datuk Ong Ka Ting looked forward to fighting a worthy opponent in Evan Gardner, but was confident of victory, and keeping his title!

- Evan Gardner was brash, and arrogant, claiming if he could beat the guys he beat already, he had every chance of winning the title!

- Norman Pike was confident, and hoped to be able to take home the title in the tournament, he was however, complimentary of the competition in the tournament, and said it probably wouldn't be easy!

- Christopher Drew and Matthew Michael Kirby both looked forward to an all out war as they both will fight on television for the first time!

Canadian Tournament Combat 14

Friday, Week 2, July 1998 in Quebec, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Womens Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Final: Roz Wareing (5-1) vs. Michelle Addams (7-0)

Roz Wareing is a Kung Fu fighter, who loves to stand and trade with people, letting her hands and head movement keep her out of too much trouble! Michelle Addams competed in the first regulated womens fight in MMA history, and as the former WEFF Lightweight Champion is considered by many to be the favorite to come away with the title in this tournament, she is a vicious Muay Thai fighter, with devastating kicks, and vicious strikes out of the Muay Thai plum!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Womens Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Final: Pamela O'Neill (3-0) vs. Karen Curtis (5-0)

Pamela O'Neill comes from a long line of martial arts competitors, and trained in a variety of disciplines from an early age, very few in womens MMA can match her background of jiu jitsu, kickboxing, and Greco-Roman wrestling! Karen Curtis is a tough-as-nails wrestler, who likes to use her grappling skills either to grind out victories, or to win via brutal ground and pound!

UNDERCARD

Womens Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Final: Vicki Summers (5-0) vs. Rhonda Britton (4-1)

Vicki Summers is not the most exciting competitor to watch, as she likes to use her grappling skills to grind out victories from smothering top control! Rhonda Britton is a power puncher, in her element when standing and banging with opponents, but she is vulnerable to kicks, and has no ground game to speak of!

Womens Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Final: Erica Page (8-3, 1-1 CTC) vs. Natalie Rogers (5-0, 1-0 CTC)

A rematch of an earlier CTC bout, these two clashed at CTC 6, where despite Page controlling Rogers in the clinch for stretches of time, Rogers pulled out the decision with her volume of striking! Page has since TKOed Tammy Westenra, while Rogers has not fought since that day!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Womens Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Louise Griffin (4-1) vs. Tara O'Brien (4-0)

Louise Griffin is a technically good striker, who mostly wins her victories on the scorecards, because she doesn't have the power to really threaten to knock out her opponents! Tara O'Brien is a very good Muay Thai fighter, who has been fighting Muay Thai for years, and it shows in her MMA style! She is particularly effective from the clinch, where her elbows and knees can easily end fights!

Womens Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Kochiyo Chikamatsu (3-0) vs. Clare Peyton (2-0, 1-0 CTC)

Kochiyo Chikamatsu is a high level Judoka, who while having no striking game whatsoever, has great trip and throw takedowns to get her opponent to the ground, and work her great submission game! Clare Peyton is a wrestler, who's first CTC fight was an easy TKO victory over kickboxer Alyssa Taylor!

Womens Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Gina Dixon (4-0) vs. Alicia Fothergill (4-1)

Gina Dixon is a strong wrestler, who though she has no real finishing options from the ground, uses her superior grappling to grind out victories on the judges scorecards! A decent stand-up fighter, Alicia Fothergill has quick hands and good technique that make her a dangerous opponent, however, the rest of her MMA game is pretty weak!

Womens Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Phoebe Bergman (5-2) vs. Nina Belle (1-0)

Phoebe Bergman is a flamboyant kickboxer known for her unorthodox strikes, her strikes are very powerful, but her lack of technique means she can be picked apart by higher quality strikers! Nina Belle enters the tournament as the pick of the winner of the CTCombat.ca fan prediction contest, Belle's professional debut, a complete dismantling on the feet of little known regional fighter Liz Carlton, that ended in a spectacular head kick knock out, has become a youtube sensation, which is probably how she caught contest winner Jingo's eye!

Womens Bantamweight Tournaments Alternate: Jenny DeNeuve (2-0) vs. Leslie Myers (1-0)

Jenny DeNeuve has been pegged by many pundits as one of the future stars of Womens MMA, a very good kickboxer, her striking is above the level of most of her female peers! Leslie Myers doesn't look very dangerous, but those who underestimate her find it hard to deal with her high level jiu jitsu game, however, if she can be kept on her feet, her threat disappears almost entirely!

Womens Bantamweight: Serena Hill (3-0) vs. Shannon Palmer (2-0)

Serena Hill is a good kickboxer, who poses a threat with both fists and feet, she also has a great sprawl that allows her to keep the fight standing where she is a true threat! Shannon Palmer is called "The Rash" because once she gets on someone, she is very difficult to remove, on top of some good submission skills, she also has some decent strikes in her arsenal!

Pre-Fight Press Conference Highlights

- Michelle Addams looked forward to the great competition in the tournament, but was confident that just like in WEFF, she would be the first CTC Womens Bantamweight Champion!

- Erica Page said she would like to revenge her previous loss to Natalie Rogers, but expected a tough fight just like the last time!

- Rhonda Britton was confident that she could knock out Vicki Summers, who as a lay and pray artist is not a real fighter!

- Natalie Rogers looked forward to fighting a Womens MMA trailblazer like Erica Page a second time, but didn't forsee the conclusion being any different than last time!

- Nina Belle was happy to be able to compete in the tournament against such great names in Womens MMA, but warned that if they were looking past her because of her inexperience, they would be sorry!

Canadian Tournament Combat 15

Friday, Week 3, July 1998 in The Maritimes, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Lightweight Championship Quarter-Final: Bruce Steven (15-7) vs. Nicholas Bretton (10-3)

A talented submission artist, when the fight goes to the ground, Bruce Steven is among the best at putting the fight away, but his sloppy striking, and glass jaw are well known flaws, easily exploited by opponents! Nicholas Bretton is a practitioner of the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and uses armbars as his finisher of choice, he has decent technical strikes, but they are predictable, and not very powerful, which means he's not much of a threat standing!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Lightweight Championship Quarter-Final: Duane Weatherly (15-8, 1-0 CTC) vs. H.M. Menzel (10-3)

Duane Weatherly's first outing in the CTC cage was a stand-up affair, where Weatherly outstruck kickboxer Roy Arnett to take home a unanimous verdict on the judges scorecards! Originally a scrappy, tenacious wrestler, H.M. Menzel was a prototypical ground and pound fighter, but he's since been working on his striking, and is now a more versatile prospect!

UNDERCARD

Lightweight Championship Quarter-Final: Tarcisio Dantas (3-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Benny Danare (8-0)

Tarcisio Dantas first time out in the CTC was a quick affair, as it took him just 2:26 to get Braxton Pryce to the ground, and pound him out for the TKO victory! A high-level student of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Benny Danare is fantastic on the ground, and has the takedowns to put the opponent in his danger zone, he will need to improve his striking however!

Lightweight Championship Quarter-Final: Seth O'Breen (14-0) vs. Manoel Cabral (4-0, 1-0 CTC)

Seth O'Breen comes to CTC off of two straight victories so far this year, both in BCF, scoring a TKO victory over Jochen Bellof, and a submission victory over William Powell, he looks to bring his high level submission game, and decent boxing to make an impact in the CTC! It may have taken Manoel Cabral a while to lock the submission on Urlington Rogers, but he was dominant the entire time!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Lightweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Cory Brewer (7-2) vs. Carl Chenoweth (1-0)

Cory Brewer is a kickboxer from Canada, while he has some decent strikes, he is a mediocre fighter, and has conditioning issues! Carl Chenoweth is a student of karate, and one of the most promising young fighters in MMA! Chenoweth is excellent defensively, both eluding strikes, and defending on the ground, and is a threat when striking!

Lightweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Hoshi Nagai (4-0) vs. Tim Oldacres (2-0, 1-0 CTC)

A rugged Lightweight, Hoshi Nagai is primarily a striker, but does have some decent grappling skills to fall back on should he need them! Tim Oldacres dominated Korean prospect Min-Soo Sik in his CTC debut, outstriking him on the feet for 4:42, before knocking him down, and following him to the ground with strikes for the TKO!

Lightweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Sid Morgan (3-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Ryan Landingham (2-0)

Sid Morgan had little test against Marcus Speed in his CTC debut, taking Speed down at will, and outstriking him on the feet, he couldn't get a submission locked in, but took home the unanimous decision victory anyway! A submission fighter, Ryan Landingham can put you in a world of hurt if he gets you to the ground, and ends up on top, but anyone who can prevent him getting takedowns can usually beat him, as he has little else to offer!

Lightweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Rory McEnterry (2-0) vs. Rupert Lennox (1-0)

Rory McEnterry is a highly energetic kickboxer, and fun to watch, but badly needs cross-training if he ever wants to really be a threat in MMA! A former English National Muay Thai champion, Rupert Lennox boasts crisp, powerful strikes, and a destructive clinch game making him one of the most dangerous strikers in the Lightweight class, he can be out-wrestled, and is weak on the ground, but he's working on it!

Lightweight Tournament Alternate: Bosco Curbeam (1-0) vs. Lazaro Campos (1-0)

One of the strongest Lightweight, Bosco Curbeam is a good wrestler, who loves to slam his opponents to the ground, and then destroy them with brutal ground and pound! A busy striker with great cardio, Lazaro Campos likes to press the pace as much as possible, overwhelming opponents with a ceaseless barrage of strikes!

Lightweight: Joel Adams (20-9) vs. Guilherme de Barros (1-0)

Joel Adams is a hard-working wrestler who likes to grind out victories with smothering top control, not a pretty fighter to watch, but he gets results! A youngster from Brazil, Guilherme de Barros is a Muay Thai fighter, who has cross-trained in other disciplines to give himself a decent MMA base!

Pre-Fight Press Conference Highlights

- Bruce Steven, and Nicholas Bretton both promised a quick end to their bout, each confident that they would achieve the submission victory!

- Benny Danare said he was impressed with Dantas' debut fight, but that if Dantas did get him to the ground, that was exactly where he wanted to be anyway, so he wasn't too worried!

- Seth O'Breen was happy to be in Canada to compete in the toughest tournament in sport, and looked forward to a submissions duel with Manoel Cabral!

- Bosco Curbeam was dismissive of Lazaro Campos, saying that he would have no trouble getting him down to finish the fight quickly!
