Friday, Week 1, March 2014 in Quebec, Canada

MAIN EVENT

CTC Womens Middleweight Title: Sy Jewett (5-0, 3-0 CTC) vs. Hillary Williams (4-0, 3-0 CTC)

Sy Jewett showcased a pretty complete mixed martial arts arsenal in the Womens Middleweight Championship Tournament, showcasing her striking, with a second round knock out of Alexandra Sanchez in the Quarter-Finals, before turning to her jiu jitsu to submit Holly Holm in the third round in the Semi-Finals, and took home Fight of the Night honours on the Season 1 Finale, submitting Tandi Schaeffer in the first round to win the CTC Womens Middleweight Title. Hillary Williams ground out a Unanimous Decision victory over Adrienna Jenkins in the Quarter-Finals of the Womens Middleweight Tournament, before taking home both Fight, and Submission of the Night honours at CTC 11 for her armbar submission victory over Vanessa Mariscal in the Semi-Finals, and finally finished Raquel Pa'aluhi with a guillotine late in the first round to win the Womens Middleweight Tournament Championship.

CO-MAIN EVENT

Bantamweight Title Semi-Final: John Fraser (12-3, 2-0 CTC) vs. Alexis Vila (12-3, 1-1 CTC)

John Fraser started his CTC run with a first round TKO victory over Adrian Wooley, before entering the Bantamweight Championship Tournament, where he was dominated for the better part of three rounds by Kenji Osawa, only to pull out the victory via triangle at the buzzer! Alexis Vila had a bad start in the CTC, getting submitted in the first round by Masakazu Imanari in his CTC debut, but bounced back to grind out a Unanimous Decision against Damacio Page in the Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Finals.

UNDERCARD

Bantamweight Title Semi-Final: Masakatsu Ueda (19-2-2, 2-0 CTC) vs. Miguel Angel Torres (41-6, 1-1 CTC)

Masakatsu Ueda had little trouble with Giorgio Andrews in his CTC debut, submitting Andrews with a Rear Naked Choke midway into the first round, before turning back the challenge of fellow Japanese import Masakazu Imanari, taking the victory via first round TKO in the Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Finals. Miguel Angel Torres struggled with Damacio Page in his CTC debut, the Main Event of Sunday Night Fights 2, with Page earning the Unanimous Decision victory, however Torres would bounce back, taking a second round Knock Out victory over Antonio Banuelos in the Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Finals.

Bantamweight Tournament Semi-Final: Aljamain Sterling (8-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Wilson Reis (17-4, 4-0 CTC)

Aljamain Sterling has relied on his wrestling, and takedowns, and excellent takedown defense to grind out Unanimous Decision victories over Mike Reilly in his CTC debut, and Cole Escovedo in the Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Finals. Wilson Reis ground out Unanimous Decision victories over Rodolfo Marques, and Kyoji Horiguchi, before earning a first round submission victory over Shintaro Ishiwatari to win the Sunday Night Fights 2 Bantamweight Tournament, then made the most of his opportunity, submitting Jeff Curran in the second round in the Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Finals.

Bantamweight Tournament Semi-Final: Nick Denis (13-3, 2-0 CTC) vs. Giorgio Andrews (9-1, 1-1 CTC)

Nick Denis has shown excellent pinpoint striking scoring a first round TKO victory over Ken Stone in his CTC debut, and a third round TKO finish of LC Davis in the Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Finals. Giorgio Andrews was submitted midway through the first round in his CTC debut, taking the loss against Masakatsu Ueda, but bounced back to take a first round TKO victory over Manny Tapia in the Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Finals.

PRELIMINARY CARD

Welterweight: Dhiego Lima (8-2, 2-1 CTC) vs. Charlie Brenneman (16-5, 1-0 CTC)

Dhiego Lima entered the Welterweight Championship Tournament, and used his superior striking to pound out Unanimous Decision victories over Matt Riddle in the Quarter-Finals, and Rich Attonito in the Semi-Finals, before being submitted by Tamdan McCrory in the first round of the first ever CTC Welterweight Title Fight. Charlie Brenneman faced Carlos Newton in his CTC debut, submitting Newton with a Rear Naked Choke early in the first round.

Middleweight: Jack Marshman (12-4, 1-3 CTC) vs. Shawn Marchand (8-8, 0-1 CTC)

Jack Marshman has struggled mightily since coming to the CTC, losing a tough Split Decision to Bola Omoyele in his CTC debut, then he was submitted in the first round by Jason Miller, but seemed to bounce back, knocking out Nabil Khatib in just 29 seconds in his next fight, but then was submitted in the first round by Svetoslav Savov in the Middleweight Alternate Bout. Shawn Marchand has not fought since CTC's first event, Canada Day Clash, where he was knocked out in the first round by Nabil Khatib.

Womens Lightweight: Bethany Marshall (4-2, 0-1 CTC) vs. Jocelyn Lybarger (0-1, 0-1 CTC)

Bethany Marshall got off little offense in her CTC debut, as she dropped a Unanimous Decision to Mika Nagano. Jocelyn Lybarger is also looking to bounce back after a disappointing MMA debut, where she was dominated on the ground by Lynn Alvarez en route to an americana submission loss midway through the first round in the Quarter-Finals of the Sunday Night Fights 1 Womens Lightweight Tournament.

Flyweight: Ulysses Gomez (9-6, 0-2 CTC) vs. Sean Santella (10-5-1, 0-2 CTC)

A battle between two Flyweight trying to turn around struggles they've had since joining the CTC! Ulysses Gomez lost a tough Split Decision to Dileno Lopes in the Flyweight Tournament Quarter-Final, and then lost a third round submission to Czar Sklavos in his last fight. Meanwhile Sean Santella was ground out in a Unanimous Decision loss to Dustin Ortiz in the Flyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, and then was submitted in the first round by Jessie Riggleman in his last fight.

Lightweight: Kurt Southern (10-5, 0-2 CTC) vs. Martin Grandmont (12-8, 0-1 CTC)

Kurt Southern dropped a Unanimous Decision to Mike Sledzion in his CTC debut, and continued the losing trend, losing by second round submission to Jesse Ronson in the Quarter-Finals of the Sunday Night Fights 5 Lightweight Tournament. Martin Grandmont was dominated by Blake Fredrickson losing by first round submission in his CTC debut.

Quarter-Final Match-Ups

Featherweight Quarter-Final: Lyndon Whitlock (6-2, 1-0 CTC) vs. Jim Alers (7-1, CTC Debut)

Lyndon Whitlock made his CTC debut against Rejean Groulx, and stopped the takedowns, and outstruck Groulx, earning a very boring and stalemated Unanimous Decision victory. Jim Alers is a talented grappler, who managed to advance to the Finals of the ADCC at Abu Dhabi while still a full time college student, Alers is coming off a first round submission victory over local fighter Darren Hayes at a local show in America.

Featherweight Quarter-Final: Mark Streigl (9-0, CTC Debut) vs. Doo Ho Choi (8-2, 0-1 CTC)

Mark Streigl is a top featherweight prospect from the Phillipines, a dangerous submission threat, who is developing power in his striking, his takedown game is mostly clinch based, and he struggles to maintain positions on the ground, but is strong, and great in the scramble. Streigl is coming off first round finishes in his last two fights at local shows in Asia. Doo Ho Choi has not entered the CTC cage since being knocked out in the third round by Antonio Carvalho in the Featherweight Championship Quarter-Finals.

Featherweight Quarter-Final: Brandon Bender (9-1, 1-1 CTC) vs. Bubba Jenkins (4-1, 1-1 CTC)

Brandon Bender got off to a good start in his CTC career, submitting Thierry Quenneville in the first round in the Quarter-Finals of the Season 1 Featherweight Tournament, but he would be submitted by Bart Palaszewski in the second round in the Semi-Finals. Bubba Jenkins started in the CTC with a second round TKO victory over Stephane Bernadel, before a grinding grappling match with Justin Lawrence led to Jenkins losing a close Split Decision.

Featherweight Quarter-Final: Yahir Reyes (15-7, 1 NC, CTC Debut) vs. Pat Schilling (6-2, 1-0 CTC)

Yahir Reyes has good wrestling, that he uses to get the fight to the ground where he can work his ground and pound, or submissions, he also has some good boxing. Reyes is coming off a second round TKO victory at a local show in Mexico. Pat Schilling made his CTC debut against submission artist Pablo Garza, and took home Fight of the Night honours, while earning a Unanimous Decision victory.

Featherweight: Leonard Garcia (15-12-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Josh Grispi (15-5, 1-0 CTC)

Leonard Garcia made his CTC debut in the main event of Sunday Night Fights 2 against Justin Lawrence, and had his offense completely stifled by Lawrence's wrestling, and was knocked out in the second round. Josh Grispi had a much better debut, entering the cage against Jameel Massouh, and quickly submitting Massouh in the first round to earn the victory.

Featherweight: Joe Stevenson (31-16, 0-1 CTC) vs. Jonathan Brookins (14-8, 1-2 CTC)

Joe Stevenson made his CTC debut against Justin Lawrence in the Featherweight Alternate Bout, and was outstruck, and outgrappled, as Lawrence took home the Unanimous Decision victory. Jonathan Brookins had little trouble with John Teixeira, submitting him with a Rear Naked Choke in the first round in the Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, before dropping a Unanimous Decision to eventual Tournament champion Michihiro Omigawa in the Semi-Finals, Brookins then dropped another Unanimous Decision to Diego Nunes in his last fight.

Featherweight: Joachim Hansen (23-12-1, 1-1 CTC) vs. Hiroyuki Takaya (18-11-1, 1-1 CTC)

Joachim Hansen fought eventual champion Mark Hominick in the Featherweight Championship Quarter-Finals, and was TKOed by Hominick in just 30 seconds, he bounced back however, taking a Unanimous Decision victory over Tyler Toner in his last fight. Hiroyuki Takaya defeated Lion Takeshi by first round TKO in the Featherweight Championship Quarter-Finals, but was submitted in the first round by Antonio Carvalho in the Semi-Finals.

Featherweight: Thierry Quenneville (16-10, 0-1 CTC) vs. Tyler Toner (13-4, 1 NC, 0-1 CTC)

Thierry Quenneville didn't have the best of luck in his CTC debut, though he opened the bout with a blitz of strikes, he would be submitted by a Brandon Bender guillotine in just 2:25, in the Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Finals. Tyler Toner met Joachim Hansen in his CTC debut, and dropped a Unanimous Decision to Hansen.

Cruiserweight: Satoshi Ishii (5-3-1, 1-1 CTC) vs. Hirotaka Yokoi (11-6, 0-1 CTC)

Satoshi Ishii defeated Jake Heun by first round submission in the Quarter-Finals of the Sunday Night Fights 3 Cruiserweight Tournament, but was knocked out in just 1:17 by Dawid Baziak in the Semi-Finals. Hirotaka Yokoi also made his CTC debut at Sunday Night Fights 3, and was submitted in the first round by Joaquim Ferreira.

Featherweight: Takeshi Inoue (21-7, 0-1 CTC) vs. Pablo Garza (12-5, 0-1 CTC)

Takeshi Inoue made his CTC debut in a rematch against Hiroyuki Takaya in the Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, and was TKOed in the first round. Pablo Garza was involved in the Fight of the Night at CTC 3, losing a Unanimous Decision to Pat Schilling.

Featherweight: John Teixeira (13-2-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Ben Greer (11-6, 0-1 CTC)

John Teixeira fought Jonathan Brookins in his CTC debut, and was stopped by Rear Naked Choke, losing by first round submission in the Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Finals. Ben Greer was finished early in his CTC debut, Shane Rice defeating him by first round guillotine submission.

Featherweight: Masanori Kanehara (20-11-5, 0-1 CTC) vs. Jameel Massouh (26-10, 0-1 CTC)

Masanori Kanehara didn't get off much offense in his CTC debut, as he was ground out in a Unanimous Decision loss to Diego Nunes in the Featherweight Championship Quarter-Finals. Jameel Massouh wasn't able to put up much of a fight, as he was submitted with a triangle in the first round by Josh Grispi in his CTC debut.

Featherweight: Brad Cardinal (13-9, 0-1 CTC) vs. Stephane Bernadel (7-5, 0-1 CTC)

Brad Cardinal didn't even try to get off any offense as he was completely dominated by Tristan Johnson on the feet, en route to an early first round knock out loss. Stephane Bernadel showed excellent submission defense and not much else in his CTC debut, losing by second round TKO to Bubba Jenkins.

Featherweight: Rejean Groulx (5-2, 0-1 CTC) vs. Shane Rice (5-3, 1-0 CTC)

Rejean Groulx looked pretty bad in his CTC debut, as he dropped a Unanimous Decision to Lyndon Whitlock. Shane Rice looked a little better, catching Ben Greer in a guillotine early in the first round for the submission victory.

Featherweight: Tristan Johnson (8-2, 1-0 CTC) vs. William Romero (8-4, 0-1 CTC)

Tristan Johnson had no trouble whatsoever in his CTC debut, putting out all the offense in the fight with his good striking, and knocking Brad Cardinal out in the first round. William Romero was given a shot in the Featherweight Tournament, but was ground to a halt by the wrestling of eventually tournament winner Michihiro Omigawa as he lost a Unanimous Decision.

MAIN EVENT

CTC Welterweight Title: Tamdan McCrory (14-3, 3-0 CTC) vs. Josh Neer (36-13-1, 3-0 CTC)

Tamdan McCrory made mostly quick work of his opponents in the Welterweight Championship Tournament, knocking out Jorge Santiago in the first round with a knee to the face from the Thai clinch, earning a third round submission victory over Gerald Harris in the Semi-Finals, and gaining a first round triangle submission victory over Dhiego Lima to become the first ever CTC Welterweight Champion. Josh Neer on the other hand, chose to grind down his opponents with his wrestling skills, taking decision victories from Gregor Gracie in the Quarter-Finals, and Brock Jardine in the Semi-Finals, before submitting Cory MacDonald in the first round in the Tournament Final.

CO-MAIN EVENT

Cruiserweight Championship Semi-Final: Jeff Monson (47-13, 2-0 CTC) vs. David Oliva (8-1, 2-0 CTC)

Jeff Monson's CTC debut didn't last very long, as he submitted Pedro Rizzo with an arm triangle just 1:34 into the first, then he ground out a Unanimous Decision victory over Devin Cole in the Cruiserweight Championship Quarter-Finals. David Oliva has worn his opponents out with his wrestling, submitting Cristiano Kaminishi in the second round, and grinding out a Unanimous Decision victory over Cheick Kongo in the Cruiserweight Championship Semi-Finals.

UNDERCARD

Cruiserweight Championship Semi-Final: Steve Bosse (11-1, 2-0 CTC) vs. Karol Bedorf (11-2, 2-0 CTC)

Steve Bosse has used his excellent jiu jitsu to scored submission victories over Cheick Kongo in the second round of the main event of Sunday Night Fights three, and over Mike Martelle in the first round of the Cruiserweight Championship Quarter-Finals. Karol Bedorf has gotten off very little offense in his two victories, in both fights he was dominated before submitting his opponent, gaining a first round guillotine submission over Justin McCully in his CTC debut, and defeating Jair Goncalves by third round kimura in the Cruiserweight Championship Quarter-Finals.

Cruiserweight Tournament Semi-Final: Magomed Malikov (10-1, 4-0 CTC) vs. Ibragim Magomedov (24-7-1, 2-0 CTC)

Magomed Malikov made the most of the opportunity he gained by winning the Sunday Night Fights 3 Cruiserweight Tournament, taking home Fight of the Night honours for his second round TKO victory over Shamil Abdurahimov in the Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Finals. Ibragim Magomedov has been fairly dominant in his two victories, TKOing Mike Ciesnolevicz in just 55 seconds in his CTC debut, and taking just 1:38 to record a knock out victory over Ben Gallant in the Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Finals.

Cruiserweight Tournament Semi-Final: Daniel Puder (10-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Guram Gugenishvili (12-2, 1-1 CTC)

Daniel Puder may not be the most exciting fighter in the universe, but he gets the job done with his strong wrestling and grappling skills, ekeing out a Split Decision victory over Yusuke Kawaguchi in his CTC debut, and grinding out a Unanimous Decision over Dawid Baziak in the Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Finals. Guram Gugenishvili was ground down into a Unanimous Decision loss by Cole Konrad in the Quarter-Finals of the Season 1 Heavyweight Tournament, but dropped down to Cruiserweight for Season 2, submitting Demico Rogers in the first round in the Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Final.

PRELIMINARY CARD

Lighweight: Maciej Jewtuszko (12-3, CTC Debut) vs. Dakota Cochrane (12-4, 0-1 CTC)

A Muay Thai fighter, known for his boxing and creative striking, he also has a decent ground game should he need it, Maciej Jewtuszko makes his CTC debut, coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Artur Sowinski in KSW. Dakota Cochrane showed excellent submission defense, but no offense to speak of, as he was TKOed late in the first round by Christian Uflacker in his CTC debut.

Middleweight: Daniel Gracie (5-4-1, CTC Debut) vs. Travis Lutter (10-7, 0-1 CTC)

As one would expect from any man named Gracie, Daniel Gracie is a master of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, dangerous from any position on the ground. Gracie is on a two fight losing streak in Bellator, losing a Split Decision to Tim Carpenter, and losing to Duane Bastress by Doctor Stoppage, he has not fought since October 2011. Travis Lutter has not fought since Canada Day Clash, where he made his CTC debut, taking the loss by second round Rear Naked Choke submission against Kalib Starnes.

Womens Lightweight: Claudia Gadelha (8-1, 1-1 CTC) vs. Joanne Calderwood (6-1, 1-1 CTC)

Claudia Gadelha earned a first round TKO victory over Katja Kankaanpaa at Sunday Night Fights 1 in her CTC debut, but was submitted in the second round by Carina Damm in the Womens Lightweight Championship Quarter-Finals. Joanne Calderwood outstruck Felice Herrig in her CTC debut, earning a Unanimous Decision victory, but was submitted midway through the first round via Arm Triangle by Kyoko Takabayashi in the Womens Lightweight Championship Quarter-Finals.

Bantamweight: Josh Hill (8-2, 1-2 CTC) vs. Casey Olson (15-5, 1-1 CTC)

Things haven't been easy for Josh Hill in the CTC, after earning a Unanimous Decision victory over Ryan Diaz in the Quarter-Finals of the Sunday Night Fights 2 Bantamweight Tournament, he dropped a decision to Shintaro Ishiwatari in the Semi-Finals, and lost a decision to Ken Stone in his last fight. Casey Olson lost a Unanimous Decision to Antonio Banuelos in his CTC debut, but bounced back to earn a first round TKO victory over Adrian Wooley in his next fight.

Heavyweight: Lonnie Race (0-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Hong Man Choi (3-4, 1-1 CTC)

A highly touted rookie from a Muay Thai background, Lonnie Race put in a disappointing performance in his CTC debut, being ground down by the grappling of Brandon Sayles, and dropping a Unanimous Decision in the Quarter-Finals of the Sunday Night Fights 6 Heavyweight Tournament. Hong Man Choi earned a quick and decisive first round TKO victory over Mark Ellis in his CTC Debut, but was submitted in the first round by Sean McCorkle in his last fight.

Canadian Tournament Combat 26

Friday, Week 3, March 2014 in The Praries, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Womens Heavyweight Championship Semi-Final: Gina Carano (8-2, 1-1 CTC) vs. Julia Budd (6-2, 2-0 CTC)

Though Gina Carano lost by first round knockout to Cris Cyborg in her CTC debut, she made a good showing with herself, and bounced back in the Womens Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Finals, taking a Unanimous Decision from Cindy Dandois. Julia Budd has had nothing but success in the CTC cage, earning a second round TKO victory over Shana Olsen in her CTC debut, then continuing her roll, earning a Unanimous Decision victory over Olympic Bronze Medalist wrestler Randi Miller in the Womens Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Finals.

CO-MAIN EVENT

Womens Heavyweight Championship Semi-Final: Ediene Gomes (12-2, 2-0 CTC) vs. Cristiane Justino (12-1, 1 NC, 2-0 CTC)

Ediene Gomes has yet to get out of the first round in the CTC cage, scoring a first round TKO victory over Yana Kunitskaya in her CTC debut, and a first round submission victory over Rin Nakai in the Womens Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Finals. Since coming back from her year suspension to join the CTC, Cris Cyborg has been just as devastating as before, taking a first round knock out victory over Gina Carano in the main event of Sunday Night Fights 4, and a first round submission victory over Elena Reid in the Womens Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals.

UNDERCARD

Womens Heavyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Revelina Berto (7-0, 4-0 CTC) vs. Amanda Lucas (4-2, 1-1 CTC)

Revelina Berto was the winner of the Sunday Night Fights 4 Womens Heavyweight Tournament, scoring dominating first round TKO victories over Valentina Shevchenko, and Christina Domke, before submitting Lalani Malley-Mancao in the third round in the final, she then battled to a Unanimous Decision victory over Charmaine Tweet in the Womens Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals. Amanda Lucas took the loss in her CTC debut, being submitted in the second round via guillotine by Rin Nakai, but bounced back, taking a first round submission victory over Valentina Shevchenko in the Womens Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals.

Womens Heavyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Erin Toughill (11-4-1, 1-1 CTC) vs. Yana Kunitskaya (5-2, 1-1 CTC)

Erin Toughill lost a horribly boring grappling match via Unanimous Decision to Cindy Dandois in her CTC debut, but bounced back to earn a Unanimous Decision victory over Lauren Taylor in the Womens Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals. Yana Kunitskaya is another bounce back story, losing by first round TKO to Ediene Gomes in her CTC debut, but taking a Unanimous Decision from Lalani Malley-Mancao in the Womens Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals.

Womens Heavyweight Retirement Bout: Amanda Buckner (12-5-1, 1-0 CTC) vs. Elaina Maxwell (6-5, 0-1 CTC)

In her only other CTC bout, Amanda Buckner was dominant, earning the TKO victory over Sarah Oriza in just 26 seconds. Buckner was scheduled to take part in the Womens Heavyweight Championship Tournament when she instead decided to call time on her fight career. Elaina Maxwell was defeated by third round submission by Elena Reid in her CTC debut, and decided to retire shortly thereafter.

PRELIMINARY CARD

Cruiserweight: Cheick Kongo (18-10-2, 0-2 CTC) vs. Pedro Rizzo (20-11, 1-1 CTC)

Cheick Kongo has struggled in the CTC thus far, losing by second round submission to Steve Bosse in his CTC debut, before getting upset by David Oliva in a Unanimous Decision in the Cruiserweight Championship Quarter-Finals. Pedro Rizzo was beaten soundly in his CTC debut, losing by submission to Jeff Monson in just 1:34, but bounced back, beating Justin McCully by triangle submission to become the alternate for the Cruiserweight tournaments, though he has not been needed in that capacity.

Heavyweight: Tyler East (12-5, 1-2 CTC) vs. Chris Barnett (8-2, 1-1 CTC)

Tyler East started off his career in the CTC by being submitted in the first round by Rolles Gracie in the Quarter-Finals of the Heavyweight Tournament, bounced back from that to take a Split Decision victory over Chris Birchler, but lost by first round submission to Smealinho Rama in his last fight. Chris Barnett lost by first round armbar submission to eventual tournament winner Chris Tuchscherer in the Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, but bounced back in his last fight, knocking out Ryan Fortin in the second round.

Flyweight: Josh Ferguson (9-6, 1-1 CTC) vs. Jose Maria Tome (26-3, 2 NC, 1-1 CTC)

Josh Ferguson started out his CTC career well enough, taking a Unanimous Decision victory over Jared Papazian, but lost a Unanimous Decision to Danny Martinez in his last fight. Jose Maria Tome earned a dominating first round TKO victory over Ngoo Ditty in his CTC debut, but was out-grappled by Rafael de Freitas in a Unanimous Decision loss in his last fight.

Welterweight: Magomed Shikshabekov (8-1, 1-0 CTC) vs. Dan Hornbuckle (22-6, 0-1 CTC)

Magomed Shikshabekov dominated Matt MacGrath on the ground in his CTC debut, locking in the rear naked choke for the submission victory midway through the first round. Bellator veteran Dan Hornbuckle had a disappointing debut in the CTC, losing by third round guillotine submission to Brock Jardine in the Welterweight Tournament Quarter-Finals.

Middleweight: Steve Cantwell (7-7, 0-1 CTC) vs. Bola Omoyele (5-3, 1-2 CTC)

UFC vet Steve Cantwell continued his massive losing streak in his CTC debut, losing by submission in just 1:34 to Dongi Yang in the Quarter-Finals of the Canada Day Clash Middleweight Tournament. Bola Omoyele started his CTC career defeating Jack Marshman in a close Split Decision in the Quarter-Finals of the Canada Day Clash Middleweight Tournament, but he ran up against eventual tournament winner Brett Cooper (now a Middleweight Tournament Finalist), in the Semi-Finals, losing by first round submission, he continued his losing ways losing by first round TKO to Mamed Khalidov in his last fight.

Canadian Tournament Combat 27

Friday, Week 1, April 2014 in Ontario, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Light Heavyweight Title: Anthony Johnson (15-4, 3-0 CTC) vs. Alexandre Ribeiro (5-0, 3-0 CTC)

Anthony Johnson has been winning with his striking in the CTC, having not even attempted a takedown in three fights, a first round TKO victory over Mike Kyle in the Light Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Final, a second round TKO over Gilbert Yvel in the Semi-Finals, and a sixth round TKO over Ricardo Arona to become the first ever CTC Light Heavyweight Champion. Alexandre Ribeiro on the other hand has used his dominant jiu jitsu game to gain a first round rear naked choke submission victory over Raphael Davis in the Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, a third round achilles lock submission victory over Krzysztof Piechota in the Semi-Finals, and a first round guillotine submission over Ralek Gracie in the Light Heavyweight Tournament Final.

CO-MAIN EVENT

Lightweight Championship Semi-Final: Paul Sass (16-2, 3-0 CTC) vs. Marcus Davis (22-9, 1 NC, 2-0 CTC)

Paul Sass used his ground game in his CTC debut, gaining a rear naked choke submission in the second round over Alex Ricci, and used solid striking to earn Unanimous Decision victories over Andre Winner, and over Dustin Hazelett in the Lightweight Championship Quarter-Finals. Marcus Davis used his striking to earn a Unanimous Decision victory over J.J. Ambrose in his CTC debut, and combined his striking with a strong ground game, to take a submission victory via triangle over Eddie Alvarez in the Lightweight Championship Quarter-Finals.

UNDERCARD

Lightweight Championship Semi-Final: John Alessio (35-16, 2-0 CTC) vs. Curt Warburton (13-4, 1-1 CTC)

John Alessio showed a decent ground game with an armbar submission over Myles Merola in his CTC debut, and outstruck Curtis DeMarce in earning a Unanimous Decision victory in his last fight. Curt Warburton went to war with Efrain Escudero in his CTC debut, and ended up losing a Unanimous Decision, but bounced back, earning a second round TKO over Andre Winner to become the Lightweight Alternate, entering the tournament after an injury took out Gesias Cavalcante.

Lightweight Tournament Semi-Final: Christian Uflacker (7-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Efrain Escudero (20-5, 2-0 CTC)

Christian Uflacker has used a dominant jiu jitsu game to earn a first round TKO victory over Dakota Cochrane in his CTC debut, and continued his winning ways with an armbar submission finish over J.J. Ambrose in the Lightweight Tournament Quarter-Final. Efrain Escudero has combined striking and wrestling very well to earn Unanimous Decision victories over Curt Warburton in his CTC debut, and Joseph Duffy in the Lightweight Tournament Quarter-Finals.

Lightweight Tournament Semi-Final: Samuel Guillet (11-6, 2-0 CTC) vs. Mark Holst (14-3, 4-0 CTC)

Samuel Guillet used striking to earn a Unanimous Decision victory over Rory McDonnel in his CTC debut, and took down Jesse Ronson, and pounded him out for the first round TKO victory in the Lightweight TOurnament Quarter-Finals. Mark Holst has used his kickboxing skills to taking TKO victories over Mike Sledzion, Chris Horodecki, and Jesse Ronson to win the Sunday Night Fights 5 Lightweight Tournament, and made the most of his opportunity in earning a Split Decision victory over Carlo Prater in the Lightweight Tournament Semi-Finals.

PRELIMINARY CARD

Lightweight: Andre Winner (14-9-1, 0-2 CTC) vs. Roger Huerta (21-8-1, 1 NC, 0-1 CTC)

Two men looking to end losing streaks meet in the CTC cage, as Andre Winner, who lost a Unanimous Decision to Paul Sass in his CTC debut, and then was TKOed in the second round by Curt Warburton, meets Roger Huerta, who showed good takedown defense, but couldn't get off any offense in his CTC debut, as he was submitted via guillotine by Gesias Cavalcante.

Middleweight: Dragan Tesanovic (8-4, 0-2 CTC) vs. Luke Harris (10-3, 1 NC, 0-1 CTC)

Dragan Tesanovic has struggled mightily since entering the CTC, being submitted via triangle in the first round by Svetoslav Savov in his CTC debut, and losing by second round TKO to Jason Day in his last fight. Luke Harris did not look impressive in his CTC debut, as he was dominated by Jake Roseholt for three rounds en route to a Unanimous Decision loss.

Womens Middleweight: Taylor Stratford (2-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Munah Holland (4-3, 0-1 CTC)

Taylor Stratford has dominated with good takedowns, and stifling top control, earning a Unanimous Decision victory over Julia Berezikova, and a Split Decision victory over Jennifer Maia. Munah Holland had a spirited kickboxing match with Colleen Schneider in the Womens Middleweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, coming out on the wrong end of the Unanimous Decision.

Bantamweight: Tyler Hardcastle (2-2, 1-1 CTC) vs. Ryan Diaz (13-14, 0-1 CTC)

Tyler Hardcastle had a disappointing CTC debut, coming out on the wrong end of the dominating Unanimous Decision in the favor of Mike Reilly, but bounced back in his next fight to take a first round submission victory over Diego Wilson. Ryan Diaz showed some decent striking, but came out on the wrong end of the Unanimous Decision against Josh Hill.

Heavyweight: Greg Lauzon (MMA Debut) vs. Christian Morecraft (7-5, 0-2 CTC)

Greg Lauzon is a solid wrestler, with a decent defensive guard, he is not comfortable on the feet, and has few finishing options on the ground. Christian Morecraft has struggled, not getting off any offense in either of his fights, first round TKO losses to Carter Williams in his CTC debut, and Mark Ellis in the Quarter-Finals of the Sunday Night Fights 6 Heavyweight Tournament.
