Canadian Tournament Combat 8

Friday, Week 1, September 2013 in The Praries, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Flyweight Championship Semi-Final: Darrell Montague (11-2, 1-0 CTC) vs. Yasuhiro Urushitani (20-6-6, 1-0 CTC)

Darrell Montague never had a chance to really get his deadly striking game going in his quarter-final fight with Yuki Shojo, most of which was fought in the clinch, against the cage, but the strikes he did manage to get in swayed the judges to his side as he took the Unanimous Decision victory! Yasuhiro Urushitani meanwhile was owned by Yamaguchi on the ground in the first round, but dominated the final two to take a Unanimous Decision from Mamoru Yamaguchi!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Flyweight Championship Semi-Final: Danny Martinez (17-4, 1-0 CTC) vs. Pat Runez (5-0, 1-0 CTC)

Danny Martinez took the win in a fairly boring fight, that took place almost entirely on the ground, between two seasoned grapplers, Martinez finally won out, locking in a guillotine choke late in the third round to defeat Yuki Yasunaga! Pat Runez spent his whole fight on the ground as well, in a close-fought bout with Shinichi Kojima, where Runez barely eked out a Split Decision victory!

UNDERCARD

Flyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Rafael de Freitas (6-0, 1-0) vs. Abel Cullum (19-6, 1-0)

A good back and forth ground battle, with much exchanging of submission attempts ended when Rafael de Freitas locked on the Anaconda Vice to take the submission victory over Will Campuzano! Abel Cullum didn't have much trouble at all in his quarter-final encounter, almost immediately taking Kiyotaka Shimizu to the ground, taking his back, and after a few attempts to lock in a rear naked choke, he just pounded on him until the ref stepped in, giving Cullum the TKO victory!

Flyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Dileno Lopes (10-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Allamurad Karayev (10-0, 1-0 CTC)

Dileno Lopes fought his quarter-final bout with Ulysses Gomez, and the two grapplers abilities just seemed to cancel each other out, not allowing much actually offense to be put in by either one, Lopes did enough to sway two of the judges to his cause, and take the Split Decision victory! Allamurad Karayev took home both Fight, and KO of the Night honours at CTC 2, when he didn't allow Frank Baca to control him in close, and dominated the first round, then KO'd Baca with a spinning back fist just seconds into the second round!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Light Heavyweight: Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (12-11, 0-1 CTC) vs. Ricardo Abreu (3-0, 1-0 CTC)

Sokoudjou fought Ralek Gracie in the Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, and was taken down at will, and though he managed to ward off Gracie's submission game, he was eventually pounded out for the TKO loss late in the third round! Ricardo Abreu took home Fight of the Night honours at CTC 4, as he took Keith Berry to the ground with little trouble, and kept him there, after some fruitless attempts to pound Berry out, Berry gave up his back, and Abreu locked in the Rear Naked Choke for the submission victory!

Middleweight: Todd Gouwenberg (10-5, 1-0 CTC) vs. Jesse Bongfeldt (21-9-1, 0-1 CTC)

There's very little to say about Todd Gouwenberg's victory at CTC Canada Day Clash 1, where he TKO'd Chester Post in just 46 seconds! Jesse Bongfeldt's fight at the same event lasted well into the third round, where after a back and forth fight, fought mostly on the feet, he was knocked out by Kendall Grove 3:00 into the third and final round!

Heavyweight: Mark Ellis (1-1) vs. Hong Man Choi (2-3)

Mark Ellis is a great wrestler, with excellent takedowns, and good takedown defense, he is a good fighter from on top, and has good submission defense! He owns a submission victory over Jake Heun, but is coming off a decision loss to Ryan Martinez that happened way back in 2011! Hong Man Choi is a gigantic kickboxer, who had some success in K-1, however that success has not translated well to MMA, as his only victories are over former Major League Baseball player Jose Canseco, and comedian Bobby Ologun! Of course his three losses weren't against any slouches, but against Fedor Emelianenko, Mirko Cro Cop, and Minowaman! He has not fought MMA since 2009!

Welterweight: Magomed Shikshabekov (7-1) vs. Matt MacGrath (10-7)

Magomed Shikshabekov is a Sambo practictioner, who has good boxing, and a great ground game to complement his wrestling abilities! He started his career with a seven fight winning streak, but hasn't fought since taking a decision loss to Che Mills in M-1 in October 2010! Matt MacGrath is a Judo practictioner with decent wrestling and ground work, but doesn't have anything in the way of striking ability to set it up! MacGrath comes into the CTC on a two fight losing streak, taking first round finish losses to Marcus Aurelio, and Alex Garcia!

Featherweight: Bubba Jenkins (3-0) vs. Stephane Bernadel (7-4)

An Olympic caliber wrestler, Bubba Jenkins passed on that opportunity to train MMA, an NCAA Div-1 National Wrestling Champion in 2011, Jenkins could be the next big wrestling convert to MMA! Jenkins has won all three of his fights with first round submission finishes, with victories over Josh Williams, Chris Gomez, and Jesus Adame! Stephane Bernadel is a submission wrestler, with no striking skills, he comes in on a two fight loss streak, with losses coming against Rejean Groulx, and Will Romero!

Flyweight: Gianni Subba (1-0) vs. Roldan Sangch'an (0-0)

The top prospect out of Malaysia, Gianni Subba was educated in the US, where he wrestled in high school, he has also trained under Jeremy Horn! He made his MMA debut with One FC, KOing Bruce Loh with a Soccer Kick in just 33 seconds! Roldan Sangch'an is a well rounded mixed martial artist, trained well both on the feet, and on the ground. He will make his MMA debut with the CTC tonight!

Canadian Tournament Combat 10

Friday, Week 3, September 2013 in Quebec, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Light Heavyweight Championship Semi-Final: Anthony Johnson (13-4, 1-0 CTC) vs. Gilbert Yvel (39-16-1, 1 NC, 1-0 CTC)

Anthony Johnson fought Mike Kyle in the Quarter-Finals, and brought the fight right to him, eventually knocking him down with a punch, and pounding him out for the TKO victory midway through the opening round! Gilbert Yvel took on highly touted Hans Stringer in the Quarter-Finals, and knocked him down with punches at the start of the fight, got on top, passed to mount, and pounded him out for the TKO victory at 2:37 of the very first round!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Light Heavyweight Championship Semi-Final: Ricardo Arona (15-5, 1-0 CTC) vs. Trevor Prangley (26-9-1, 1-0 CTC)

Ricardo Arona took on Jan Blachowicz in the Quarter-Finals, and had little trouble, needing only 4:33 to take the big man down, shift to mount, and pound him out for the TKO victory! Trevor Prangley took on Ovince St. Preux in the Quarter-Finals, and after a hard fought, grinding three rounds, two of the judges thought Prangley did enough to earn a Split Decision!

UNDERCARD

Light Heavyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Ralek Gracie (4-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Robert Drysdale (5-0, 1-0 CTC)

Ralek Gracie and Sokoudjou went toe to toe for the better part of three rounds, before Gracie finally managed to take Sokoudjou down, and pound him out for the TKO victory! Robert Drysdale took on Eliot Marshall in the Quarter-Finals, and though Marshall did well on the feet, once Drysdale got him to the ground, the judges decided he did enough to earn a Unanimous Decision!

Light Heavyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Krzysztof Piechota (8-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Alexandre Ribeiro (3-0, 1-0 CTC)

Krzysztof Piechota was controlled against the cage by Kelly Anundson for almost all of the 1:42 of their fight, but slapped a surprised Anundson into a standing guillotine to take the victory! Alexandre Ribeiro had no trouble getting Raphael Davis to the ground, but took almost the whole first round before finally submitting him with a rear naked choke at 9:58!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Lightweight: Alex Ricci (4-0) vs. Paul Sass (13-2)

Alex Ricci is a mixed martial artist, with heavy hands, excellent ground and pound, and a good defensive and positional ground game, he has won all four of his fights with either a knock out or TKO finish, including a victory over Alka Matewa in Bellator, he is coming off a TKO victory over Tim Smith! Paul Sass is an excellent BJJ player, who won his first seven professional fights via triangle choke, his standup is raw, and is ground game is reliant on his dangerous guard! His recent run in the UFC was terminated after he lost consecutive fights to Matt Wiman and Danny Castillo!

Womens Lightweight: Emi Tomimatsu (6-5, 1-0 CTC) vs. Heather Clark (4-4, 0-1 CTC)

Emi Tomimatsu took Nicdali Rivera-Calanoc down early in their fight at Sunday Night Fights 1, passed easily all the way to mount, and pounded her out for the TKO victory! Early in the first round of her fight with Ashley Cummins at Sunday Night Fights 1, Heather Clark did well on the feet, but she was eventually knocked down by a spinning back fist from Cummins, and pounded out for the TKO loss!

Light Heavyweight: Victor Valimaki (16-8) vs. Misha Cirkunov (5-1)

Victor Valimaki comes from a karate background, and has a decent striking game, but has good wrestling, and ground and pound, and an excellent positional ground game as well! In his last three fights however, he has suffered three first round TKO losses, twice to Martin Desilets, and once to Karl Knothe! A solid Latvian prospect fighting out of Canada, Cirkunov is a Judo black belt, who is a former Canadian Judo and Freestyle Wrestling champion! Cirkunov has won his last four fights, and is coming off a decision victory over Ali Mokdad at Score Fighting Series 3!

Welterweight: Andrew Buckland (15-9-1) vs. Gary Wright (8-0)

Andrew Buckland is a mixed martial artist, who has good boxing to go along with decent wrestling, and ground skills! Buckland recently had a four fight winning streak broken when he suffered a decision loss to Jamie Toney at MFC 33! Gary Wright is a wrestler, with good ground and pound, and a decent defensive ground game! Wright has won his first eight fights, including a decision victory over UFC fighter T.J. Grant at a King of the Cage event in 2007!

Featherweight: Josh Grispi (14-5) vs. Jameel Massouh (26-9)

Josh Grispi is a deadly grappler on the ground, with a good reach, and power in his hands and feet. However he has struggled against better strikers, especially given that his wrestling doesn't match up to most in the division! He recently had a run in the UFC, which was terminated after he lost all four of his fights, against Dustin Poirier, George Roop, Rani Yahya, and Andy Ogle! Jameel Massouh is a wrestler, with good takedowns, and some submission, he is also a good technical striker, especially with his kicks! Massouh is coming off a decision loss to John Cholish at CFFC 9 back in June of 2011!

Heavyweight: Carter Williams (4-4) vs. Christian Morecraft (7-3)

A decorated Muay Thai fighter, Carter Williams is a former W.K.A. and I.K.F. kickboxing world champion, Williams has technically sound stand-up with some power, but is lost on the ground, and his chin has deteriorated seriously! Williams halted a three fight losing streak, when he defeated Ruben Villareal via a 13 second TKO finish, but hasn't competed in MMA since September 2011! Christian Morecraft is a true mixed martial artist, he is strong both in the stand-up, and on top, and his takedowns from the clinch are improving, however, he struggles off his back, and against more accurate strikers, and his chin has been checked more than once! He was terminated by the UFC in January 2012 after losing consecutive fights against Matt Mitrione, and Pat Barry!

Canadian Tournament Combat 11

Friday, Week 4, September 2013 in The Maritimes, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Womens Middleweight Championship Semi-Final: Sy Jewett (3-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Holly Holm (4-0, 1-0 CTC)

Sy Jewett faced Alexandra Sanchez in the Quarter-Finals, and Jewett dominated the first round, before knocking Sanchez out with one punch at the beginning of the second round! Holly Holm faced a stern test in womens MMA veteran Kelly Kobold in the Alternate Bout, and came through with flying colours, dominating the fight on the feet, before catching Kobold with a sprawl, and pounding her out from on top for the first round TKO victory! She enters the tournament thanks to a back injury to Marloes Coenen!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Womens Middleweight Championship Semi-Final: Roxanne Modafferi (16-10, 1-0 CTC) vs. Tandi Schaeffer (2-0, 1-0 CTC)

Roxanne Modafferi took on Hiroko Yamanaka in the Quarter-Finals, and did well on the feet, while stopping Yamanaka from getting close enough to clinch, and eventually midway through the second round, countered with a great hook that knocked Yamanaka out cold! Tandi Schaeffer faced Hitomi Akano in the Quarter-Finals, and kept Akano from getting the fight off the feet, and out struck her to gain a Unanimous decision victory!

UNDERCARD

Womens Middleweight Tournament Semi-Final: Raquel Pa'aluhi (4-3, 1-0 CTC) vs. Colleen Schneider (2-3, 1-0 CTC)

Raquel Pa'aluhi dominated what there was of her Quarter-Final bout with Jennifer Maia, outstriking her for 3:02 before trapping her against the cage with a flurry, and, when she fell, pounding her out for the TKO victory! In a battle of two rising prospects, Colleen Schneider outstruck Munah Holland in a back and forth kickboxing match to win her Quarter-Final fight with a Unanimous Decision!

Womens Middleweight Tournament Semi-Final: Hillary Williams (2-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Vanessa Mariscal (3-1, 1-0 CTC)

Hillary Williams fought Adrienna Jenkins in the Quarter-Finals, and their Jiu Jitsu skills cancelled each other out, and with the latter two rounds happening mostly on the feet, Williams outstruck Jenkins for the Unanimous Decision victory! Vanessa Mariscal took on Kerry Vera in the Quarter-Finals, and though she seemed able to take Vera down at will, Mariscal couldn't finish her, until she finally got to mount late in the third round, and pounded Vera out for the TKO victory!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Heavyweight: Chris Birchler (1-0) vs. Tyler East (11-4, 0-1 CTC)

An NCAA Div-1 National Wrestling Qualifier, Chris Birchler relies on his brute strength, power takedowns, and ground and pound. While the rest of his game is limited, he is a threat with the skills he already possesses! Birchler won his MMA debut, when he got Shawn Obasi to tap to strikes at 2:27 of Round 1! Tyler East fought Rolles Gracie in the CTC Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Finals, and Gracie managed to neutralize his striking, take him down, and ultimately take his back, and lock in the rear naked choke to hand East a submission loss!

Middleweight: Jack Marshman (11-3, 0-2 CTC) vs. Nabil Khatib (12-7, 1-0 CTC)

Jack Marshman lost a back and forth, close fought Split Decision to Bola Omoyele in the Canada Day Clash Middleweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, and then was submitted late in the first round by Jason Miller with a kneebar! Nabil Khatib went back and forth with Shawn Marchand in his first CTC bout, and eventually knocked Marchand out with a punch midway through the first round!

Womens Middlweight: Taylor Stratford (1-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Jennifer Maia (4-2-1, 0-1 CTC)

Taylor Stratford's MMA debut turned out to be a boring one, with a lot of missed takedowns, and clinch work, they basically nullified each other in the grappling, but Stratford outstruck Berezikova to gain the Unanimous Decision! Jennifer Maia was dominated on the feet by Raquel Pa'aluhi, and lost via TKO in just over 3 minutes!

Light Heavyweight: DJ Linderman (12-3) vs. Danny Valimaki (4-1)

A former Heavyweight DJ Linderman was the Sportfight Heavyweight Champion before dropping to 205 lbs. to compete for Bellator. His skills are largely self taught, and he is only now starting to have training camps for fights! He comes to the CTC on a two fight winning streak, with victories over Bobby Brents, and Mike Hayes! Danny Valimaki is a wrestler with some striking ability, he is coming off a first round TKO victory over Patrick Gladue, but that fight happened in July 2010!

Welterweight: Jason Heit (4-0) vs. Gavin Neil (8-1)

A former boxer, Jason Heit began his BJJ training under Royce Gracie before moving back to his home town to open his own gym! Heit has won all four of his MMA fights, and is coming off a second round TKO victory over Paapa Inkumsah in October 2009! Gavin Neil is trained in both Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai, and is good standing, and has excellent submissions from the ground! Neil is on a four fight winning streak, and is coming off a first round submission victory over Richie Hightower in May 2010!

Flyweight: Josh Paiva (2-0) vs. Geje Eustaquio (3-1)

Josh Paiva is a jiu jitsu player with good submissions, and positional grappling, he has finished both his fights in the second round, knocking out Brandon Drucker, and submitting Marcus Ocegueda! Geje Eustaquio is a practitioner of the art of Wushu, and is good on the feet, and has a decent defensive ground game, he is coming off a decision victory over Alex Silva at One FC 2!

MAIN EVENT

Featherweight: Leonard Garcia (15-11-1) vs. Justin Lawrence (5-2, 1-0 CTC)

Known for his exciting fights in the UFC Lightweight division, Garcia was one of the first well known UFC fighters to drop to Featherweight. He has a wild brawling style that has won him his fair share of questionable decisions! Garcia was recently released from the UFC, after losing five straight fights to Chan Sung Jung, Nam Phan, Matt Grice, Max Holloway, and Cody McKenzie! Justin Lawrence started out his CTC career by winning a decision over Joe Stevenson to earn the Alternate spot in the CTC Featherweight Tournaments, however, no alternate was needed!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Bantamweight: Miguel Angel Torres (40-5) vs. Damacio Page (15-8)

The lanky, well-rounded Miguel Angel Torres has good striking skills even though the large majority of his wins have come by submission. After a stint as the world's top Bantamweight, Torres was TKOed by Brian Bowles and is still trying to make his way back! Torres was released from the UFC after a first round knock out loss to Michael McDonald! Training with Jackson's MMA since 2004, Damacio Page is a hard hitting kickboxer with an NCAA pedigree in wrestling. He is known for being aggressive, smart, and versatile in his fights.

A veteran of Sengoku, Ishiwatari became a viral internet sensation with his massive slam against Kazuhiro Ito! Ishiwatari has combined his Judo, with an improving striking game, and a cut to 135 to become a force at Bantamweight! Ishiwatari comes to the CTC on a two fight winning streak, with the victories coming against Motonobu Tezuka, and Manabu Inoue!

Bantamweight Quarter-Final: Kyoji Horiguchi (8-1) vs. Issei Tamura (7-4)

Bantamweight: Ken Stone (11-4) vs. Nick Denis (11-3)

Originally a Division III College Wrestler, Ken Stone picked up some BJJ, and entered the grappling circuit after college. Stone got bored with grappling, and switched to MMA full time, training with American Top Team. He has nice low kicks that he often uses as his jab, and is a threat from all ground positions, but his boxing is a weakness, and his slam KO loss to Eddie Wineland leaves questions about his chin! Stone was released by the UFC after being knock out in just 17 seconds by Erik Perez at UFC 150! Nick Denis is an effective striker, with backgrounds in Taekwondo, and karate, and has an alright defensive ground game! Denis was released by the UFC after a first round submission loss to Roland Delorme, and has been in retirement since!

Bantamweight: Masakazu Imanari (25-11-2) vs. Alexis Vila (11-2)

Fraser has won his last seven fights, all by submission, and is coming off a submission victory over Travis Reddinger! Adrian Wooley is not much in the standup, but has decent wrestling, and top control game! Wooley is coming off consecutive losses to Nick Mamalis, and David Harris, and has not fought since August 2011!

Watson was released by the UFC after consecutive losses to Yves Jabouin, T.J. Dillashaw, and Mitch Gagnon!

Bantamweight: Aljamain Sterling (6-0) vs. Mike Reilly (4-1, 1-0 CTC)

A Division III All-American wrestler, Aljamain Sterling is an explosive athlete with a powerful takedown game. His standup and submissions still need work, but he has blown through several tough tests early in his pro career!
