CTC Sunday Night Fights 9: Gracie vs. Arona

Sunday, Week 1, April 2014 in Quebec, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Light Heavyweight: Ralek Gracie (5-1, 2-1 CTC) vs. Ricardo Arona (16-6, 2-1 CTC)

A fight between two Brazilian Jiu Jitsu warriors, who were each beaten out in the Finals of their respective Light Heavyweight Tournaments. Ralek Gracie scored a third round TKO over Sokoudjou in the Quarter-Finals of the Light Heavyweight Tournament, before earning a first round submission over Robert Drysdale in the Semi-Finals, however, he was submitted in the first round by Alexandre Ribeiro in the Light Heavyweight Tournament Final. Ricardo Arona started off his CTC run, with a first round TKO victory over Jan Blachowicz in the Light Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Finals, before grinding out a Unanimous Decision over Trevor Prangley in the Semi-Finals, he was TKOed in the sixth round by Anthony Johnson in the first ever CTC Light Heavyweight Title Fight.

CO-MAIN EVENT

Light Heavyweight: Gilbert Yvel (40-17-1, 1 NC, 2-1 CTC) vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (12-12, 0-2 CTC)

Gilbert Yvel scored a first round TKO victory over Hans Stringer in the Quarter-Finals of the Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament, before losing by second round TKO to Anthony Johnson in the Semi-Finals, he bounced back, earning a first round knock out over Keith Berry in his last fight. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou has struggled since joining the CTC, being TKOed by Ralek Gracie in the third round of the Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, and he was knocked out by Ricardo Abreu in the third round in his last fight.

Quarter-Final Match-Ups

Light Heavyweight Quarter-Finals: Robert Drysdale (5-1, 1-1 CTC) vs. Hans Stringer (20-6-2, 1-1 CTC)

While Robert Drysdale ground out a Unanimous Decision victory over Eliot Marshall in the Quarter-Finals of the Light Heavyweight Tournament, he was submitted in the first round by Ralek Gracie in the Semi-Finals. Hans Stringer had a bad start to his CTC career, being TKOed in just 2:37 by Gilbert Yvel in the Light Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Finals, however he bounced back, earning a second round submission over Ovince St. Preux in his last fight.

Light Heavyweight Quarter-Finals: Brandon Halsey (3-1, 2-1 CTC) vs. Derick Schreider (MMA Debut)

Brandon Halsey started off well in the CTC earning a Unanimous Decision victory in his debut fight against Craig Brown, and submitting Nick Hinchliffe in the first round, but he was beaten by Unanimous Decision by Bastien Huveneers in his last fight. German fighter Derick Schreider is a jiu jitsu fighter who has placed highly in several national tournaments in Germany. He has some rudimentary striking to set up his takedowns.

Light Heavyweight Quarter-Finals: Cecil Erickson (MMA Debut) vs. Keith Berry (14-12, 0-2 CTC)

Cecil Erikson is an American fighter from a jiu jitsu background, but he has cross-trained in several other disciplines to prepare for his MMA debut. Keith Berry has two Fight of the Night awards in his two CTC fights, however, he would have probably been happier picking up a win, as he lost by first round submission to Ricardo Abreu, and first round knock out to Gilbert Yvel.

Light Heavyweight Quarter-Finals: Ricardo Abreu (4-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Joe Cason (8-2, 0-1 CTC)

Ricardo Abreu has used his excellent jiu jitsu, and heavy hands to great effect in his CTC fights, earning a first round submission over Keith Berry, and knocking out Sokoudjou in the third round in his last fight. Joe Cason got in very little offense in his CTC debut, taking a knee to the face from Jan Blachowicz in the first round for the knock out.

Light Heavyweight: Ovince St. Preux (13-7, 0-2 CTC) vs. Nick Penner (11-4, 0-1 CTC)

Ovince St. Preux has had some very disappointing results in the CTC, dropping a Split Decision to Trevor Prangley in the Light Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Finals, and being submitted in the second round by Hans Stringer in his last fight.

Canadian Tournament Combat 28

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

MAIN EVENT

CTC Middleweight Title: Jason Miller (28-9, 1 NC, 4-0 CTC) vs. Jake Rosholt (15-3, 1 NC, 3-0 CTC)

Jason Miller is undefeated in the CTC, earning submission victories over Riki Fukuda, and Jack Marshman before entering the Middleweight Championship Tournament, with a second round submission victory over Thales Leites in the Quarter-Finals, and a Unanimous Decision over Danillo Villefort in the Semi-Finals to earn his shot at being the first ever CTC Middleweight Champion! Jake Rosholt has used smothering top control as his main weapon to get to this point, earning a Unanimous Decision over Luke Harris in his CTC debut before entering the Middleweight Championship Tournament, then scoring a first round TKO victory over Mamed Khalidov, and a grinding Unanimous Decision victory over Kendall Grove to get to the final!

CO-MAIN EVENT

CTC Womens Lightweight Title: Tara Larosa (24-2, 3-0 CTC) vs. Naho Sugiyama (12-1, 2-0 CTC)

Tara Larosa took a dominant first round submission victory over Marianna Kheyfets to announce her arrival in the CTC, then entered the Womens Lightweight Championship Tournament, earning a second round submission victory over Ayaka Hamasaki in the Quarter-Finals, and a first round submission over Carina Damm in the Semi-Finals to earn her shot at the belt! Naho Sugiyama was a new arrival in the CTC when she entered the Womens Lightweight Championship Tournament, scoring a third round guillotine submission victory over Jessica Rakoczy in the Quarter-Finals, and a third round armbar submission victory over Kyoko Takabayashi to win her chance at the belt!

UNDERCARD

Middleweight Tournament Final: Brett Cooper (24-8, 5-0 CTC) vs. Denis Kang (37-16-2, 2 NC, 3-0 CTC)

After winning the Canada Day Clash Middleweight Tournament to earn his way into the tournament, Brett Cooper did nothing but impress earning a second round knock out victory over Riki Fukuda in the Quarter-Finals, and a first round knock out over Jason Day in the Semi-Finals. Long time veteran Denis Kang won with a first round kneebar submission over David Loiseau in his CTC debut before entering the Middleweight Tournament, where he earned a first round submission victory over Jesse Bongfeldt in the Quarter-Finals, and a third round submission victory over Rumen Dimitrov in the Semi-Finals.

Womens Lightweight Tournament Final: Karla Benitez (8-3, 1 NC, 2-1 CTC) vs. Valerie Letourneau (7-3, 3-0 CTC)

Karla Benitez dropped a Unanimous Decision to Carina Damm in her CTC debut, but bounced back winning a split decision over Ashley Cummins in the Quarter-Finals of the Womens Lightweight Tournament, before earning a decisive first round TKO victory over Katja Kankaanpaa in the Semi-Finals. Valerie Letourneau won a Unanimous Decision victory over Hanna Sillen in her CTC debut before entering the Womens Lightweight Tournament, scoring a first round TKO over Sofia Bagherdai in the Quarter-Finals, and a second round knock out of Kyra Gracie in the Semi-Finals.

Middleweight: Ivan Salaverry (13-9, 0-1 CTC) vs. David Loiseau (21-12, 0-2 CTC)

Canadian Pankration fighter Ivan Salaverry has decided to call time on his MMA career, after a quick first round guillotine loss to Joe Doerksen at Canada Day Clash. David Loiseau also lost quickly at Canada Day Clash, being submitted by kneebar by Denis Kang in the first round, before being submitted in the first round by Rumen Dimitrov in the Middleweight Tournament Quarter-Finals.

PRELIMINARY CARD

Heavyweight: Bobby Lashley (8-4, 1-2 CTC) vs. Mark Ellis (3-3, 2-2 CTC)

Bobby Lashley didn't have a good start to his CTC career, as he was TKOed in the first round by Andrei Arlovski in the Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, and then dropped a Unanimous Decision to Jared Rosholt, but he bounced back in his last fight, earning a first round TKO victory over Tim Sylvia. Mark Ellis suffered a first round TKO loss to Hong Man Choi in his CTC debut, then bounced back, earning a first round TKO victory over Ryan Fortin, before entering the Sunday Night Fights 6 Heavyweight Tournament, where he earned a first round TKO victory over Christian Morecraft, before dropping a Unanimous Decision to Smealinho Rama in the Semi-Finals.

Welterweight: Michael Hill (1-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Keto Allen (6-4, 0-1 CTC)

Michael Hill impressed in his professional MMA debut, taking a first round TKO victory over Nathan Gunn, while Keto Allen was not as happy with his CTC debut, as he was submitted in the first round by DaMarques Johnson.

Cruiserweight: Martin Desilets (11-5, 1 NC, 0-2 CTC) vs. Ben Gallant (2-3, 0-2 CTC)

A battle of two fighters desperately trying to get back on the winning track, Martin Desilets hasn't made it past the first round in the CTC, and not in a good way, as he was submitted in the first round by Demico Rogers in his CTC debut, and TKOed in the first round by Kinney Spotwood in his last fight. Ben Gallant hasn't had much better luck, though he managed to get out of the first round in his CTC debut, losing by second round submission to Jair Goncalves, before being knocked out in the first round by Ibragim Magomedov in the Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Finals.

Flyweight: Kiyotaka Shimizu (10-7-3, 0-2 CTC) vs. Ulysses Gomez (10-6, 1-2 CTC)

Kiyotaka Shimizu was TKOed in the first round by Abel Cullum in the Flyweight Championship Quarter-Finals in his CTC debut, and was submitted in the first round by Shinichi Kojima in his last fight. Ulysses Gomez had a rough start in the CTC, dropping a Split Decision to Dileno Lopes in the Flyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, and being submitted in the third round by Czar Sklavos, but bounced back, scoring a first round submission victory over Sean Santella in his last fight.

Womens Heavyweight: Jessica Halverson (2-2, 0-1 CTC) vs. Otsu Yano (MMA Debut)

Jessica Halvorson was involved in a highly charged back and forth striking battle with Charmaine Tweet in her CTC debut, eventually losing a Unanimous Decision. Otsu Yano is a decent Muay Thai striker, who has good work in the Thai clinch, and power in her kicks, however, it would be generous even to call her ground game a work in progress.

He will probably be remembered by most people for his horrible fight at UFC 83, where he ran away from Nate Quarry for three rounds, refusing to step in, even when Quarry covered his eyes, and chased Starnes around the cage, making blind chopping motions with his arm. Nonetheless he had some decent fights, and holds victories over Chris Leben, Jason MacDonald, and Travis Lutter on his record. He retires with a professional record 13-8-1, and was 1-1 in the CTC, with a second round Rear Naked Choke submission over Travis Lutter at CTC Canada Day Clash 1, and a first round TKO loss to Ali Mokdad at CTC 29! - Jocelyn Lybarger suffered a pectoral injury in her victory over Jessica Branco, and will miss a month or two. Predictions Alright, so now anyone with 150 or more total predictions will be allowed to pick the entire brackets for one of the Spring Series 4-man tournaments. Jingo(190), and Cyclops(150) qualify. Post your preferred weight class here in the thread, and I will send you the list of available fighters in that weight class, then you can PM me back with your picks, you pick both the four fighters, and who will fight who in the Tournament Semi-Finals. All weight classes are available, and will be listed below just as a reminder. Tournaments will be handed out on a first come first served basis, so whichever of you picks first, that weight class is no longer available to the other. The following are the CTC weight classes: Womens Lightweight (125) Womens Middleweight (135) Womens Heavyweight (over 135) Flyweight (125) Bantamweight (135) Featherweight (145) Lightweight (155) Welterweight (170) Middleweight (185) Light Heavyweight (205) Cruiserweight (235) Heavyweight (over 235)

Sorry CageRage i have not been around lately (because of stuff...) i'll take Womens Lightweight (125) if thats okay!?

CageRage · October 31, 2013

Womens Lightweight Tournament has been booked, and the Semi-Finals will likely take place at CTC 31, the second card of the Spring Series! CTC 31 will also play host to the Flyweight Tournament Semi-Finals, and the Season 2 Lightweight Tournament Final between Samuel Guillet, and Efrain Escudero! Here is the Womens Lightweight Tournament Bracket!

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg29/Overbay17/CTC/CTC%2031/womenslightweightsemi-finals_zpsceefcd57.jpg

Will give Cyclops another couple days to chime in with his tournament pick if he's still watching, and will likely get on with the posting of the first Spring Series card sometime Saturday morning (EST), at which point all tournaments will be finalized.

CageRage · November 2, 2013

Note: Sorry Cyclops, but all tournaments are now finalized.

Canadian Tournament Combat 30

Friday, Week 1, May 2014 in The Praries, Ontario

MAIN EVENT

Womens Heavyweight Title: Cristiane Justino (13-1, 1 NC, 3-0 CTC) vs. Julia Budd (7-2, 3-0 CTC)

Likely to be a stand-up war between two highly skilled, and vicious Muay Thai Strikers, with the right to be called the first ever CTC Womens Heavyweight Champion on the line! Cris Cyborg has cut a swath through all her opponents so far in the CTC, with a first round knock out of Gina Carano, a first round submission of Elena Reid in the Womens Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Finals, and a second round knock out of Ediene Gomes in the Semi-Finals! Julia Budd earned a second round TKO victory over Shana Olsen in her CTC debut, and took home a Unanimous Decision victory over Randi Miller in the Womens Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Finals, before taking home Fight of the Night honours at CTC 26 for her first round knock out of Gina Carano in the Semi-Finals!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Heavyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Sergei Kharitonov (21-5, 3-0 CTC) vs. Sean McCorkle (18-5, 2-0 CTC)

Sergei Kharitonov impressed in his CTC debut, defeating Tim Sylvia via first round TKO in the Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Finals, but took a leave of absence, choosing not to continue in the tournament, he returned with a second round knock out of Andrei Arlovski, and a first round submission of Josh Barnett! Sean McCorkle has won both of his fights in the CTC, earning first round submission victories over both Cody East, and Hong Man Choi!

UNDERCARD

Heavyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Jared Rosholt (6-0, 2-0 CTC) vs. Aleksander Emelianenko (18-5, 1-1 CTC)

Jared Rosholt has used his strong wrestling to his advantage so far in his CTC career, earning a Unanimous Decision victory over Bobby Lashley, and a first round TKO victory over Cody East! Aleksander Emelianenko had a disappointing showing in the Heavyweight Championship Tournament, as he was TKOed in the second round by Levan Razmadze in the Quarter-Finals, but he bounced back, submitting Cole Konrad in the second round in his last fight!

Middleweight Tournament Semi-Final: Danillo Villefort (15-5, 2-1 CTC) vs. Jason Butcher (9-0, 1-0 CTC)

Danillo Villefort showed excellent guard work in his first two CTC fights, scoring guillotine submission finishes over Luiz Cane in his CTC debut, and Joe Doerksen in the Middleweight Championship Quarter-Finals, before losing a Unanimous Decision to Jason Miller in the Semi-Finals! Jason Butcher claims to have the best guard in MMA and showed it in his first CTC battle, attempting submission after submission, before locking on a guillotine choke with only 13 second left in the fight to submit Duane Bastress!

Middleweight Tournament Semi-Final: Elvis Mutapcic (13-3, CTC Debut) vs. Dan Cramer (11-4, 1-0 CTC)

A kickboxer known for having powerful kicks, Elvis Mutapcic spent the last while fighting with the Score Fighting Series, where he scored a second round knock out of Adam Cella, but was TKOed in the third round by Marvin Eastman in his last fight. Dan Cramer's CTC debut was maybe not the most exciting fight ever, but he used smothering top control to earn a Unanimous Decision over Todd Gouwenberg.

PRELIMINARY CARD

Womens Heavyweight: Lalani Malley-Mancao (2-2, 2-2 CTC) vs. Jan Finney (8-11, 0-1 CTC)

Lalani Malley-Mancao had a lot of hype behind her coming to the CTC, but results have been mixed, with a first round submission of Chantalle Castellanos in the Quarter-Finals of the Sunday Night Fights 4 Womens Heavyweight Tournament, and a Unanimous Decision victory over Lauren Taylor in the Semi-Finals, being following by a third round submission loss to Revelina Berto in the Tournament Final, and a Unanimous Decision loss to Yana Kunitskaya in her last fight! Jan Finney got off next to no offense in her CTC debut, dropping a Unanimous Decision to Lauren Taylor in the Quarter-Finals of the Sunday Night Fights 4 Womens Heavyweight Tournament!

Cruiserweight: Justin McCully (11-7-2, 0-2 CTC) vs. Ibragim Magomedov (24-8-1, 2-1 CTC)

Justin McCully was submitted in the first round by Karol Bedorf in his CTC debut, and continued the losing trend, being submitted in the second round by Pedro Rizzo in his last fight. Ibragim Magomedov's first two fights ended quickly, as he TKOed Mike Ciesnolevicz in his CTC debut in just 55 seconds, and took just a little over a minute to knock out Ben Gallant in the Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, before being TKOed in a little over a minute by Magomed Malikov in the Semi-Finals.

Lightweight: Kultar Gill (11-9, 0-1 CTC) vs. Kurt Kinser (5-1, 0-1 CTC)

Kultar Gill was ineffective in all areas of the game, in taking a third round submission loss to Tim Smith in his CTC debut. Kurt Kinser wasn't very impressive in his debut either, taking the first loss of his career by first round submission against Ryan Machan.

Featherweight: Lyndon Whitlock (6-3, 1-1 CTC) vs. Stephane Bernadel (8-5, 1-1 CTC)

Lyndon Whitlock defeated Rejean Groulx by Unanimous Decision in his CTC debut, only to drop a Unanimous Decision to Jim Alers in the Quarter-Finals of the Sunday Night Fights 8 Featherweight Tournament. Stephane Bernadel was TKOed in the second round by Bubba Jenkins in his CTC debut, but bounced back to take a Split Decision victory over Brad Cardinal in his last fight.

Heavyweight: Lonnie Race (0-2, 0-2 CTC) vs. Ryan Fortin (6-8, 0-4 CTC)

A battle between two men desperate to see a victory, between hyped up rookie Lonnie Race, who for all his Muay Thai skills hasn't been able to put them to best advantage in the cage, dropping a Unanimous Decision to Brandon Sayles, and being knocked out in the first round by Hong Man Choi, and Ryan Fortin, the CTC's resident punching bag, with losses to Brandon Sayles, Mark Ellis, Rolles Gracie, and Chris Barnett in the CTC.

Canadian Tournament Combat 31

Friday, Week 2, May 2014 in Quebec, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Lightweight Tournament Final: Efrain Escudero (21-5, 3-0 CTC) vs. Samuel Guillet (12-6, 3-0 CTC)

After looking good in a Unanimous Decision victory over Curt Warburton at Sunday Night Fights 5, Escudero went on to take another Unanimous Decision from Joseph Duffy in the Lightweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, and then steamrolled over Christian Uflacker with a 35 second TKO victory in the Semi-Finals! Samuel Guillet grappled his way to a Unanimous Decision over Rory McDonnel at Sunday Night Fights 5, then came into the Lightweight Tournament as an underdog, but first round TKO victories over both Jesse Ronson in the Quarter-Finals, and Mark Holst in the Semi-Finals see Guillet all the way to the final, can he continue his Cinderella story to a tournament championship?

CO-MAIN EVENT

Womens Lightweight Tournament Semi-Final: Kyra Gracie (4-1, 4-1 CTC) vs. Marianna Kheyfets (6-2, 1-1 CTC)

After her victory in the Sunday Night Fights 1 Womens Lightweight Tournament, Kyra Gracie entered the Season 2 Womens Lightweight Tournament with a lot of momentum, and grappled her way to a first round TKO victory over Emi Tomimatsu, but was stopped dead in the Semi-Finals, suffering a second round knock out loss to Valerie Letourneau! Marianna Kheyfets suffered a first round submission loss to Tara Larosa in her CTC debut, but bounced back to knock out Lena Ovchynnikova in the second round to become the alternate for the Womens Lightweight Tournaments!

UNDERCARD

Womens Lightweight Tournament Semi-Final: Ashley Cummins (5-2, 2-1 CTC) vs. Felice Herrig (7-5, 1-0 CTC)

Ashley Cummins started out her CTC career with a bang, earning a first round TKO victory over Heather Clark in her debut, before grinding out a Split Decision victory over Mika Nagano, however, when she entered the Season 2 Womens Lightweight Tournament, she lost a close fought Split Decision to Karla Benitez in the Quarter-Finals! Felice Herrig had trouble landing her strikes in her CTC debut, and ended up losing a Unanimous Decision to Joanne Calderwood!

Flyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Shinichi Kojima (12-5-5, 1-1 CTC) vs. Czar Sklavos (7-2, 1-1 CTC)

Shinichi Kojima was disappointed in the result of his first fight in the CTC, where he lost a razor thin Split Decision to Pat Runez in the Flyweight Championship Quarter-Finals, but he bounced back, earning a first round submission victory over Kiyotaka Shimizu in his last fight! Czar Sklavos was underwhelming in his CTC debut, losing a Unanimous Decision to Frank Baca, but came back better in his last fight, scoring a third round submission victory over Ulysses Gomez in his last fight!

Flyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Frank Baca (15-2, 2-1 CTC) vs. Yuki Yasunaga (9-6, 1-1 CTC)

Frank Baca didn't get the result he'd hoped for in his CTC debut, as he was knocked out in the second round by Allamurad Karayev in the Flyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, but he bounced back, and is on a two fight winning streak, with Unanimous Decision victories over Czar Sklavos, and Anthony Figueroa! Yuki Yasunaga didn't look very good in his CTC debut, losing a third round submission to Danny Martinez in the Flyweight Tournament Quarter-Finals, but bounced back to take a Unanimous Decision from highly ranked Flyweight Yuki Shojo in his last fight!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Lightweight: Andre Winner (14-10-1, 0-3 CTC) vs. Roger Huerta (22-8-1, 1 NC, 1-1 CTC)

A rematch after their last fight, in which Huerta took the submission victory in the second round! Winner will be desperate for a win here, as he has lost his first three CTC battles, dropping a Unanimous Decision to Paul Sass in his CTC debut, then getting TKOed in the second round by Curt Warburton in the Lightweight Alternate Bout, before losing by second round submission to Huerta in their last fight! Roger Huerta didn't look bad in his CTC debut, but was caught in a guillotine in the second round by Gesias Cavalcante for the submission loss, he bounced back strong however, earning the second round submission victory over Winner in their last fight!

Bantamweight: John Fraser (12-4, 2-1 CTC) vs. Nick Denis (13-4, 2-1 CTC)

John Fraser looked good in his CTC debut, TKOing Adrian Wooley in the first round, and The Haggis Basher continued his good run, submitting highly ranked Bantamweight Kenji Osawa in the third round in the Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Finals, before dropping a Unanimous Decision to Alexis Vila in the Semi-Finals! Nick Denis had a strong start to his CTC run, with a first round TKO victory over Ken Stone in his debut, and a third round TKO victory over LC Davis in the Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Final, but finally met his match, when he was TKOed in the first round by Giorgio Andrews in the Semi-Finals!

Welterweight: Jonathan Goulet (24-14, 1 NC, 1-2 CTC) vs. Amilcar Alves (13-4, CTC Debut)

A fan favorite for his do or die style of fighting, Jonathan Goulet had a rough start to his CTC career, dropping a Unanimous Decision to Che Mills in the Welterweight Championship Quarter-Finals, and losing by third round submission to Sheldon Westcott, but he bounced back in his last fight, knocking out Garett Davis in the third round! Released from the UFC after his loss to Charlie Brenneman at UFC Fight For The Troops 2, Amilcar Alves has had some success on the Brazilian Regional circuit, and is coming off a first round TKO of local Brazilian fighter Joao Braga at a local show in Brazil!

Light Heavyweight: Marcos Rogerio de Lima (10-2, 0-1 CTC) vs. Trevor Prangley (26-11-1, 1-2 CTC)

Marcos Rogerio de Lima had some success striking in his CTC debut, but was finished in a second round TKO in a Fight of the Night performance against DJ Linderman at Sunday Night Fights 9! Trevor Prangley started out well in the CTC, earning a Split Decision victory over Ovince St. Preux in the Light Heavyweight Championship Quarter-Finals, before dropping a decision to Ricardo Arona in the Semi-Finals, and being knocked out in just 1:22 by Mike Kyle in his last fight!

Womens Heavyweight: Melinda Lawler (1-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Otsu Yano (0-1, 0-1 CTC)

A battle of highly touted young Muay Thai strikers, as each tries to use the other as a stepping stone up the rankings list, Melinda Lawler was on point in her CTC debut, taking a Unanimous Decision with her striking against Sarah Oriza, while Otsu Yano had no trouble landing, and actually was probably ahead on points, when she was knocked out by Jessica Halverson in the second round of her CTC debut!
