Note: I have moved mmaaddict's picked fight (Rosholt vs. Palhares) onto the main card. I recently moved up to Low Level International, which suddenly made all the fight picks for my Featherweight Tournament only preliminary card level fights, so moving the former champion onto the main card made sense to me.

CageRage · January 30, 2014

Note: I have moved edisraw's picked fight onto the main card, because once again I ended up with tournament fights that weren't ranked as main card fights because of the recent rise in popularity. Of course, doing this backfired on me last card when the fight I bumped off the main card was Fight of the Night...

Featherweight: Chas Skelly (7-0, CTC Debut) vs. Seiya Kawahara (12-3, CTC Debut)

A Texas State wrestling champion, Chas Skelly is known for takedowns from inside a grapple, his BJJ is progressing, and his scrambles are good, but his standup and guard work aren't fully developed!

Middleweight: Soo Lee (MMA Debut) vs. Shawn Marchand (9-9, 1-2 CTC)

Soo Lee is a highly trained Muay Thai fighter, who has cross trained in other disciplines to create a solid base for MMA, he has powerful kicks, but isn't much with his hands, and good takedown, and submission defense! Shawn Marchand started his CTC career struggling, a first round knock out loss to Nabil Khatib, and a second round TKO loss to Jack Marshman brought him to the brink of termination, and only a Split Decision victory over Chester Post saved his job!

CTC Sunday Night Fights 15: Toughill vs. Carano

Sunday, Week 1, November 2014 in Quebec, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Womens Heavyweight: "Steel" Erin Toughill (12-4-1, 2-1 CTC) vs. Gina Carano (8-4, 1-3 CTC)

Finally recovered from an injury that saw her forced out of the Season 2 Womens Heavyweight Tournament Final, Erin Toughill will call it a career tonight! Though she lost to Cindy Dandois in her first CTC fight, she bounced back to win a Unanimous Decision over Lauren Taylor, and a second round TKO over Yana Kunitskaya in the Season 2 Womens Heavyweight Tournament! Despite having a tough road of it in the CTC, Gina Carano is still one of the most well known fighters in Womens MMA, and looks to bounce back off the schneid after back to back losses to Julia Budd, and Valentina Shevchenko!
