Canadian Tournament Combat 52

Friday, Week 2, November 2014 in The Maritimes, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Welterweight Tournament Final: Dhiego Lima (12-2, 6-1 CTC) vs. Tamdan McCrory (17-4, 6-1 CTC)

A rematch of the Welterweight Championship Tournament Final, where McCrory defeated Lima by submission in the first round! Dhiego Lima has done well for himself since his loss to McCrory, earning four straight victories, including Unanimous Decision victories over Gary Wright, and Justin Edwards to get to this Welterweight Tournament Final Bout! After losing his title to Josh Neer on his first defense, Tamdan McCrory has won three straight fights, including a first round submission victory over DaMarques Johnson, and a Unanimous Decision victory over Michael Hill to get to the Welterweight Tournament Final!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Lightweight Tournament Semi-Final: Rick Hawn (15-2, CTC Debut) vs. Mark Bocek (12-5, 1-0 CTC)

Rick Hawn competed for the USA in Judo at the 2004 Olympic Games, and has won several medals at US National Championships, and two medals at the Pan-Am Games! Aside from his world class Judo background, he also has knock out power in his hands! After winning Bellator's Season 6 Lightweight Tournament, Hawn was unsuccessful in his bid to win the title, losing by second round submission to Michael Chandler, he bounced back to defeat Karo Parisyan at Welterweight, but has dropped back to Lightweight to compete in the CTC! A black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Mark Bocek made his debut in the CTC cage in June, defeating Kyle Watson with a first round guillotine choke submission!

UNDERCARD

Lightweight Tournament Semi-Final: Paul Sass (17-3, 4-1 CTC) vs. Eddie Alvarez (25-5, 1-2 CTC)

Paul Sass is a talented Brazilian Jiu Jitsu player, especially dangerous with his work from the guard! Sass suffered his first loss in the CTC cage against Marcus Davis in the Lightweight Championship Tournament Semi-Final, but bounced back in his last fight to earn a first round submission victory over John Makdessi! Bellator's first Lightweight Champion, Eddie Alvarez is a feared striker, who is also pretty well rounded, possessing good wrestling, and submission games! While Alvarez struggled to start his CTC career, losing to Dustin Hazelett, and Marcus Davis, he turned things around in his last fight, earning a Unanimous Decision victory over Andre Winner!

Welterweight Tournament Semi-Final: Rory MacDonald (16-1, CTC Debut) vs. Claude Patrick (14-2, CTC Debut)

A training partner of former UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre, Rory MacDonald is an example of the new breed of MMA fighter, that doesn't come from any particular discipline, but instead training from the beginning for MMA! Since suffering the first loss of his career against Carlos Condit, MacDonald has rattled off six straight victories, including wins over Nate Diaz, and B.J. Penn, he is coming off a second round TKO victory over John Maguire at UFC 169! Claude Patrick is a well-rounded fighter, who is best from top control, but can pick up points in striking, and is comfortable off his back, not known as a finisher, Patrick has little power, and somtimes passes on using his arsenal of chokes in favor of grinding out decisions! Patrick is coming off a Split Decision loss to Brian Ebersole, and hasn't fought since December of 2011!

Welterweight Tournament Semi-Final: Patrick Cote (19-10, CTC Debut) vs. Jordan Mein (27-11, CTC Debut)

A former amateur boxer in the Canadian Armed Forces, Patrick Cote later also took up kickboxing, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Cote prefers that the fight stay on the feet, but can defend himself on the ground should the fight end up there! "The Predator" was released by the UFC after back to back Unanimous Decision losses to Martin Kampmann, and Rick Story! Jordan Mein is a mixed martial artist, with excellent striking skills, including some power in his hands, he also has good wrestling that he mostly uses to keep fights on the feet! Mein was released by the UFC after suffering three straight losses to Matt Brown, John Hathaway, and Rustam Khabilov!

Womens Heavyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Lauren Taylor (5-2, 2-2 CTC) vs. Valentina Shevchenko (3-3, 2-2 CTC)

Lauren Taylor is a kickboxer with good technical striking, and power in her hands, she has decent takedown defense, and can defend herself on the ground if needed! After suffering decision losses to Lalani Malley-Mancao and Erin Toughill, Taylor scored a first round knock out victory over Christina Riddering in her last fight! Valentina Shevchenko is a Muay Thai fighter, who has devastating kicks, and work from the Muay Thai clinch, her takedown defense is good, but if you can get past it she has little defense on the ground! Shevchenko struggled to acclimate herself to life in the CTC at first, but is now on a two fight win streak, with devastating first round knock outs of Christina Riddering, and Gina Carano!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Womens Heavyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Cindy Dandois (7-2, 2-1 CTC) vs. Milana Dudieva (7-2, 0-1 CTC)

A rematch of both of their last fight, Dandois earned the victory in the battle by first round submission! Cindy Dandois is a Belgian FILA Grappling Champion, and has excellent takedowns and ground game, but offers little in the striking! Dandois was eliminated in the Quarter-Finals in the Womens Heavyweight Championship Tournament, dropping a Decision to Gina Carano, but bounced back with her victory over Dudieva! Milana Dudieva is a technically skilled kickboxer, however she needs to work on her takedown, and grappling defense. Dudieva had a string of seven straight victories snapped in her CTC debut, her loss to Dandois!

Heavyweight: Andrei Arlovski (18-13, 1 NC, 1-3 CTC) vs. Shane Carwin (12-4, 0-2 CTC)

A battle of two veterans of the sport, both on losing streaks that could see them out of the CTC in short order! Andrei Arlovski defeated Bobby Lashley in his CTC debut, but has piled up three straight knock out losses to Chris Tuchscherer, Sergei Kharitonov, and Lavar Johnson! Shane Carwin's return to MMA has been largely a disappointment thusfar, as he was upset by Mark Ellis in the Season 3 Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, and lost by third round TKO to Josh Barnett in his last fight!

Lightweight: Anton Kuivanen (19-6, CTC Debut) vs. Curtis DeMarce (12-10, 1-1 CTC)

Anton Kuivanen is a technically proficient boxer, with good submission skills, and submission defence! Since being released by the UFC, Kuivanen has been plying his trade in Superior Challenge, where he was on a two fight winning streak, with victories over Juha-Pekka Vainikainen, and Thiago Meller! Curtis DeMarce has skills in Muay Thai, and BJJ, and has good work from the guard! While DeMarce won his CTC debut against Chad Freeman, he dropped a Unanimous Decision to John Alessio in the Lightweight Championship Tournament!

Womens Middleweight: Munah Holland (5-4, 1-2 CTC) vs. Raquel Pa'aluhi (6-5, 3-2 CTC)

Munah Holland is a kickboxer, especially proficient with her kicks, and has the skills to stop takedowns, and keep the fight standing! Munah Holland's win in the CTC came against Taylor Stratford, but she lost by second round TKO to Holly Holm in her last fight! Raquel Pa'aluhi is a pretty slick boxer, but has little defense if the fight goes to the ground! After losing the Season 1 Womens Middleweight Tournament Final to Hillary Williams, Pa'aluhi entered the Sunday Night Fights 10 Womens Heavyweight Tournament, winning by first round TKO over Jennifer Maia in the Quarter-Finals, before losing by first round submission to Naoko Omura in the Semi-Finals!

Bantamweight: Rodolfo Marques (14-3, 0-1 CTC) vs. Issei Tamura (8-6, 1-2 CTC)

Rodolfo Marques is a technically skilled Muay Thai striker, but his real strength is his jiu jitsu, with excellent submission attacks from top control, and a dangerous guard! Marques has only fought once in the CTC, a Unanimous Decision loss to Wilson Reis in the Quarter-Finals of the Sunday Night Fights 2 Bantamweight Tournament! Issei Tamura has excellent wrestling, with powerful takedowns, and strong top control, but he doesn't have many weapons to finish fights! Tamura is coming off a first round knock out loss to Walel Watson!

Cruiserweight: Karl Grove (MMA Debut) vs. Ben Smith (10-7, 1-1 CTC)

Karl Grove is a highly-ranked Muay Thai fighter, with devastating kicks, and clinch elbows, along with good takedown, and submission defense, however, cardio is a problem, and he has a weak chin! Ben Smith is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter, known for his dangerous guard, but offers little in the striking, and is not particularly good on top, or in the scramble! Smith lost a Split Decision to Jae Young Kim in his CTC debut, but earned a first round submission over Cristiano Kaminishi in his last fight!

Canadian Tournament Combat 53

Friday, Week 1, December 2014 in British Columbia, Canada

MAIN EVENT

CTC Heavyweight Title: Sergei Kharitonov (24-5, 6-0 CTC) vs. Brock Lesnar (8-3, 3-0 CTC)

A master of the art of Sambo, Sergei Kharitonov is an excellent grappler, and also has power in his hands, he beat Sean McCorkle, and Aleksander Emelianenko in the first round to win the 2014 Spring Series Heavyweight Tournament, then defeated Philip De Fries by second round submission to win the Heavyweight Title! Brock Lesnar, an overpowering wrestler, with absolutely brutal ground and pound, made his much hyped return to MMA in the Season 3 Heavyweight Tournament, grinding out a Unanimous Decision against Brandon Sayles in the Quarter-Finals, before scoring first round TKO victories over Mark Ellis, and Heath Herring to win the right to fight for the title!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Heavyweight Tournament Final: Philip De Fries (14-4, 1 NC, 5-1 CTC) vs. Rolles Gracie (10-2, 3-1 CTC)

A purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Philip De Fries was the first ever CTC Heavyweight Champion, and after losing his belt to Sergei Kharitonov, entered the Winter Series Heavyweight Tournament with a lot to prove, and defeated Mike Russow by first round submission in the Semi-Final! Rolles Gracie will put his Jiu Jitsu to the test against De Fries, after losing out in the Semi-Finals of the Season 1 Heavyweight Tournament, Gracie defeated Ryan Fortin, and then entered the Winter Series Tournament, defeating Christian Morecraft by first round submission in the Semi-Final!

UNDERCARD

Middleweight Tournament Final: Mamed Khalidov (29-6-2, 3-2 CTC) vs. Brett Cooper (26-9, 7-1 CTC)

Mamed Khalidov is a well rounded offensive fighter, capable of ending a fight with strikes, or submissions, his cardio could be an issue if the fight gets to championship rounds! Khalidov lost to Jake Rosholt in the Quarter-Finals of the Middleweight Championship Tournament, but was dominant in the first round TKO victory over Jason Butcher, and entered the Winter Series tournament, earning a second round submission over Alan Belcher in the Semi-Finals! Brett Cooper is a rounded fighter, with good boxing and wrestling, he was a finalist in the Season 2 Middleweight Tournament, losing to Denis Kang in the final, bounced back with a Split Decision victory over Duane Bastress, then entered the Winter Series Middleweight Tournament, earning a first round knock out over Kendall Grove in the Semi-Final!

Flyweight Tournament Final: Tim Eliot (10-5-1, 1-0 CTC) vs. Shinichi Kojima (14-6-5, 3-2 CTC)

Tim Eliot is a good wrestler, who has some submission accumen, but usually looks to grind out victories on the scorecards, he made his CTC debut in the Winter Series Flyweight Tournament, earning a first round submission victory over Ngoo Ditty in the Semi-Finals! Shinichi Kojima is a catch wrestler, who likes to work from top control, he's had bad luck in tournaments, as his two losses were a Split Decision loss to Pat Runez in the Quarter-Finals of the Flyweight Championship Tournament, and a first round submission loss to Czar Sklavos in the Semi-Finals of the Spring Series Flyweight Tournament, however, after a high profile first round submission victory over Jussier da Silva, Kojima entered the Winter Series Tournament, and earned a third round TKO victory over Pat Runez in the Semi-Finals!

Featherweight Feature Fight: Georgi Karakhanyan (22-4-1, CTC Debut) vs. Tyler Toner (14-5, 1 NC, 1-2 CTC)

Georgi Karakhanyan is a conditioning fiend, with good Jiu Jitsu, however, his chin is suspect! Karakhanyan is coming of a fifth round submission loss to Deividas Taurosevicius, with Karakhanyan challenging for the Score Fighting Series Featherweight Title! Tyler Toner is an excellent technically sound kickboxer, though he doesn't have a lot of power, he does have a tough chin! Tyler Toner dropped a Unanimous Decision to Joachim Hansen in his CTC debut, bounced back to earn a Unanimous Decision victory over Thierry Quenneville, but lost a Unanimous Decision to Joachim Hansen in the Quarter-Finals of the Season 3 Featherweight Tournament in his last fight!

Womens Middleweight Feature Fight: Taylor Stratford (4-1, 4-1 CTC) vs. Alexandra Sanchez (6-3, 1-2 CTC)

Despite having fought in the CTC cage five times, Taylor Stratford has somehow managed to avoid the bright lights, all her fights coming on internet prelims, and not on TV or PPV, she will be tested under the lights for the first time tonight, hoping to extend her two fight win streak, where she has defeated Tandi Schaeffer by third round submission, and Romy Ruyssen by Unanimous Decision! Alexandra Sanchez made her CTC debut in the Womens Middleweight Championship Tournament, losing by second round knock out to Sy Jewett, then lost by third round knock out to Suzie Montero in her next fight, before finally righting the ship, winning a Split Decision over Kerry Vera in her last fight!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Middleweight: Joe Riggs (35-14, 1 NC, CTC Debut) vs. Mario Miranda (15-5, CTC Debut)

Joe "Diesel" Riggs is a versatile fighter, training in boxing since he was a child, he was also an All-American wrestler in college, and a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, he enters the CTC cage coming off a Split Decision victory over Doug Marshall in Bellator! Mario Miranda was a multiple time Freestyle, and Greco-Roman wrestling champion in Brazil, and is also a talented BJJ player! Miranda enters the CTC cage on a two fight winning streak, with first round submissions over Warren Thompson, and Leopoldo Serao in DEEP!

Bantamweight: Akitoshi Tamura (19-13-2, CTC Debut) vs. Roland Delorme (9-1, 1 NC, 1-0 CTC)

Akitoshi Tamura is a former Shooto Featherweight Champion, who, while he has some technical boxing skill, will try to get the fight to the ground where he can work his excellent submission game! Tamura enters the CTC cage on a three fight winning streak, with victories over Pedro Munhoz, Jeff Hougland, and Jason Sampson in Score Fighting Series! Roland Delorme is a decent judoka, with good grappling skills, however his stand-up needs some work! Delorme recently made his CTC debut, earning a first round submission victory over John Fraser!

Heavyweight: Ajlin Ahmic (10-3, CTC Debut) vs. Chris Barnett (9-3, 2-2 CTC)

Ajlin Ahmic is a Croatian Judo Champion, who has some good wrestling, and is hard to take down! Ahmic recently had a two fight winning streak in M-1 snapped when he lost a Split Decision to Mitchell Maxx! Chris Barnett is a wild puncher with power in his hands, who has been hit and miss in the CTC cage, however he is coming of a Fight, and KO of the Night performance, where he knocked out James Thompson in the second round with a spectacular head kick!

Flyweight: Rodrigo Santos (6-3, CTC Debut) vs. Ulysses Gomez (11-7, 2-3 CTC)

Rodrigo Santos has some limited striking accumen, but will likely want to get the fight to the ground where he can work submissions. Santos is on a two fight losing streak, dropping Unanimous Decisions to Alexandre Pantoja, and Jesse Taitani in Ring of Combat! Ulysses Gomez is a decent wrestler, who likes to threaten with submissions! Gomez recently broke a two fight winning streak, when he lost by second round submission to Louis Gaudinot in the Quarter-Finals of the Season 3 Flyweight Tournament!

Light Heavyweight: Misha Cirkunov (5-3, 0-2 CTC) vs. Keith Berry (14-13, 0-3 CTC)

A battle between two struggling fighters who badly need a win if they want to continue with the CTC! Misha Cirkunov is a Judo Black Belt, who is also a Canadian Judo and Freestyle Wrestling champion! Cirkunov dropped a Unanimous Decision to Victor Valimaki in his CTC debut, and lost by second round submission to Goran Reljic in his last fight! Keith Berry's main weapon is his boxing background, and punching power, he is dangerous also in close with dirty boxing, and though he has some submissions, he struggles positionally on the ground! Berry was submitted in the first round by Ricardo Abrey in his CTC debut, lost by first round knock out to Gilbert Yvel, and lost by second round submission to Cecil Erickson in his last fight!

Womens Lightweight: Tecia Torres (4-0, CTC Debut) vs. Alex Chambers (4-1, CTC Debut)

Tecia Torres is a kickboxer with powerful high kicks, and decent striking, she has good takedown defense, and while she offers little threat on the ground, she can defend herself there should she need to! Torres has won all four of her professional bouts by Unanimous Decision, the most recent over Felice Herrig! Alex Chambers is a well rounded fighter, with good boxing, and ground and pound! Chambers enters the CTC cage on a two fight winning streak, with victories over Mika Nagano by first round TKO, and Jodie Esquibel by first round submission in Invicta!
