Bloodsport - Genesis of Combat (GlobalVerse)

Wow. A couple of future stars unveiled in Canada. What a card. Interested to see what you will do with Gage going forward and also how Foster deals with such high level submissions.

This thread has forced me (willingly) to download the globalverse. I'm just messing with it at the moment but beginning from day zero is an exciting save. Thanks to you UFA was born. I hope to match up with your dynastys story

Here's a question...

How are you getting such a varied weight card? Mine keeps telling me I can't have so and so in the same tournament. From heavy to Middle so far. I've even had a heavy and a light heavy unable to face eachother.

Bloodsport 6: Foster vs. Jerezo Final Card

Main Event

King of Bloodsport Championship

James Foster (7-0) vs. Jerezo (3-0)

The sport's top fighter has a new challenger, and it's one unlike any he's faced before. Despite just making his pro debut, Jerezo dominated his way through Bloodsport 5 with submission skills the sport had never seen. It remains to be seen if Jerezo can test the King of Ground and Pound.

Bloodsport 6 Tournament Fighters:

Terrance Bushman (2-1)

One of the fastest rising stars in the sport, Bushman has become a mainstream star overnight despite ultimately losing the tournament. The karate world champion has two of Bloodsport's best knockouts under his belt already.

Camden Vessey (0-0)

Facing Bushman is Camden Vessey. A well-regarded pro kick boxer, Vessey's game is built around his brutal kicks. The 193-pound Englishman is making his pro debut.

Mantas Andreyev (1-2)

Considered by many to be the sport's top trainer, Andreyev is a better fighter than his 1-2 record reflects. The former Sambo champion has faced some of the best in the sport, with every fighter on his record holding at least 1 win in Bloodsport.

Greg Atteveld (2-1)

One of only four BJJ black belts in MMA, Atteveld is the only American on that list. His fight with Jerezo was the 1989 Fight of the Year according to Blurcat Magazine. He faces Mantas Andreyev in his sophomore effort.

Stafford Alois (5-2)

A fan favorite, this 6'5" 260 pound kick boxer has shown exceptional striking power. Tied for the third most wins in Bloodsport history, Alois has reached the finals of two different Bloodsport tournaments but lost in both.

Veeti Kuqi (1-1)

At 272 pounds, Kuqi is one of the largest men on the roster. Primarily a ground fighter, Kuqi mostly uses his enormous size to drag fighters to the ground. He has reportedly greatly improved his wrestling and grappling during his time training with Mantas Andreyev Fighting Team. He faces Alois in the first round.

Aki Hida (0-1)

A member of the Japanese Olympic team, Hida acquitted himself well in his pro debut against Jeff Carlton despite eventually being overwhelmed. At 18, Hida could take some time to develop but his wrestling is as good as anyone else.

Leon Banks (1-0)

Making his Bloodsport debut is Banks, a former pro boxer with some decent success. Banks has a single victory on a smaller show, a brutal knockout only two minutes into the fight. He takes on Hida in his debut fight.

Alternate Bouts

Fernando Amaro (1-3) vs. Cliff McAddam (1-0)

Amaro looks to right the ship against the debuting Mcaddam, a 38-year-old Gaelic wrestler from Scotland that typically fights at 208 pounds.

Hassan Fezzik (0-0) vs. Phil Verdigree (1-3)

Phil Verdigree is likely facing a 'loser leaves town' situation against the debuting Fezzik. Little is known about Fezzik, a Turkish Sambo specialist who had a good but not stellar career in the sport.

Bloodsport 6

Alternate Bout

Fernando Amaro (1-3) vs. Cliff McAddam (1-0)

Amaro comes forward at the bell looking to strike. McAddam is looking for a clinch and ducking the big shots, but eating steady jabs. McAddam finally wades in and clinches up, pushes Amaro against the cage, only to get reversed. Amaro quickly drops down and pulls Cliff’s legs out from under him, landing in his guard! McAddam tries to fight back into a seated position only to leave his neck open. Amaro snatches a guillotine, quickly finishes the Scot with it.

Amaro, Submission by Guillotine (2:59)

Opening Round

Terrance Bushman (2-1) vs. Camden Vessey (0-0)

The bell rings, and to the surprise of everyone including Vessey Bushman shoots for a takedown from distance and completes it. Vessey tries to escape but Bushman posts up with his knee on Vessey’s chest and starts dropping huge shots. Vessey is bloodied and eats multiple unanswered shots before the ref pulls Bushman off. Another killer finish for the budding star.

Bushman, Winner by TKO (0:39)

Opening Round

Mantas Andreyev (1-2) vs. Greg Atteveld (2-1)

The fight opens with a striking exchange, with little but pawing jabs landing. Andreyev is backing Atteveld up, getting the better of the striking before finally landing a flush right hook that staggers Atteveld. Mantas uses the chance to shoot for a takedown, but Greg stuffs the attempt Andreyev continues pressuring Atteveld, but neither men are landing very hard shots. Just as the men starting throwing big punches, Andreyev ducks under and pins Atteveld against the fence. Andreyev smothers Ateveld for several minutes before Greg finally breaks loose. The two return to their familiar role of Andreyev stalking Atteveld but doing little damage. With five minutes left, the two men grapple, with neither men getting the advantage for long. Andreyev eventually muscles Atteveld against the fence, pinning him there until the clock runs out.

Andreyev, Winner by Unanimous Decision

Opening Round

Stafford Alois (5-2) vs. Veeti Kuqi (1-1)

Alois comes out swinging wildly, with a shot connecting that gashes Kuqi’s eyebrow open. Seeing blood, Alois charges to finish but walks right into a massive head kick! Kuqi goes to the floor to finish, but Alois hangs on during the pounding. Alois is bleeding from the head kick and hanging on for dear life, but still in the fight. Alois defends himself well, but a few big body shots land. Kuqi lays his full weight on Alois in side control, gulping air and dropping short hammerfists as Alois tries to escape. The clock runs down as Kuqi grinds away, with Alois unable to escape or get back to guard. Kuqi attempts a kimura but Alois fends it off. By the end of the fight Kuqi is exhausted, but Alois is unable to move the big man off of him. Kuqi hangs on to the bell for what is one of the bigger upsets in Bloodsport history.

Kuqi, Winner by Unanimous Decision

Opening Round

Aki Hida (0-1) vs. Leon Banks (1-0)

The bell rings, and Hida has at least 40 pounds on his opponent. Banks is light on his feet, dancing around Hida and scoring at will with his boxing. Banks sticks with throwing the 1-2, landing both nearly every time. Hida is able to duck some of the bigger shots but is getting tagged repeatedly. At the 12 minute mark, Hida makes a desperation takedown attempt, but Banks is unable to defend and pulls guard. Hida holds Banks close, as the man on bottom tries to explode to his feet. Hida begins dropping slicing elbows, easily controlling on top. Banks scrambles out of guard but quickly gives up side control, where Hida looks to finish. Banks nearly sweeps him and Hida hangs on to catch his breath. Banks rolls to get to his feet but gives up his back. Hida has the hooks in and attempts a rear naked choke, but Banks fights it off and nearly throws Hida off his back. Hida gets the hooks again, this time trying ground and pound. Banks is eating some big shots and surviving, when Hida clearly breaks his hand. After that, the ground and pound is without any real power. Hida spends the last five minutes of the fight hunting for a rear nake choke until time expires.

Winner, Hida by Unanimous Decision

Semifinals

Terrance Bushman (3-1) vs. Mantas Andreyev (2-2)

Andreyev is clearly wary of Bushman’s power and starts the fight back pedaling as Bushman stalks him. Andreyev throws a few weak jabs, but Bushman is equal to them. Andreyev is clearly exhausted from his first fight and Bushman is carefully scoring from range. Bushman overcommits and in one smooth motion Andreyev flips him with a giant judo throw. Andreyev wings a huge punch over the guard of the downed Bushman, connecting and knocking him out cold! The crowd is stunned as Andreyev completes an incredible comeback.

Winner, Andreyev by KO (2:26)

Semifinals

Veeti Kuqi (2-1) vs. Aki Hida (1-1)

Hida looks timid to start, his limited striking likely hampered by his broken hand. Kuqi looks confident, pressuring Hida and landing some good shots. Hida looks on the ropes but Kuqi is probably doing to much; two minutes in and Kuqi looks completely broken. The once timid Hida suddenly comes to life, launching into a picture perfect double leg takedown that plants Kuqi hard. Kuqi looks or a submission from the bottom, and Hida is content to hold on tight and drop soft punches. Kuqi starts working for a sweep but manages to give up side control. Kuqi struggles to his feet but Hida is on him and locks on a rear naked choke, dragging him to the mat! The hooks are in but Kuqi fights the arm from going under his chin. For the better part of three minutes, Kuqi fights Hida’s arm only for the wrestling phenom to finally sink it in and submit Kuqi by RNC with only 30 seconds left.

Hida, Submission by RNC (14:27)

Alternate Bout

Hassan Fezzik (0-0) vs. Phil Verdigree (1-3)

Both men come in to strike, and both are looking polished early. Verdigree has slightly better hands, but Fezzik lands multiple hard body kicks early. Fezzik throws a straight right but Verdigree ducks it and lands a crushing body blow that sends Fezzik to his knees. Fezzik wobbles, only to get plastered by an uppercut that sends him down! Verdigree is dropping huge punches but Fezzik manages to scramble. Both men are standing and Fezzik has a single leg that he can’t complete. Fezzik winds up turtle up, holding onto Verdigrees leg as the boxer tries to finish with hammerifsts. Verdigree is winded, allowing Fezzik to give up on the single and spring to his feet. Verdigree chases but walks right into a counter right that drops him! Fezzik is in side control dropping big punches but Verdigree is defending. Fezzik nearly has an arm triangle. Verdigree defends but in a slick transition Fezzik chains to a kimura which force Verdigree to tap! Wild fight.

Fezzik, Submission by Kimura (3:53)

Finals

Mantas Andreyev (3-2) vs. Aki Hida (2-1)

Andreyev looks to avenge his understudy Veeti Kuqi and earn his first tournament victory. However, Hida has a giant size advantage. The bell rings and Hida immediately scores a takedown into guard. Andreyev is looking for an armbar, and Hida is very careful about letting Andreyev close guard. Hida is landing punches but they aren’t doing much. The clock slowly ticks down with very little action, and the crowd is not amused. Andreyev goes for a kimura but Hida is equal to it. Hida is working carefully and never gives Andreyev an opening for the entire 15 minutes. Boring finale, but Hida has earned a title shot against the winner of the main event.

Hida, Winner by Unanimous Decision

Main Event

King of Bloodsport Title

James Foster (7-0) vs. Jerezo (3-0)

The size difference between the two men is enormous, with Foster outweighting Jerezo by 40 pounds. The bell rings and the two men circle before Jerezo shoots for a takedown. Foster stuffs it and they wind up in the clinch, where James ragdolls Jerezo to half guard with a monster suplex. Jerezo works to recover guard but Foster is clobbering him with elbows. Jerezo rolls over and turtles up to protect himself and Foster unloads with shots until the referee pulls him off! Foster with his fourth successful title defense!

Foster, Winner by TKO (2:51)

Post Fight Press Conference

Van Der Linde is happy with another good show, congratulating the newest tournament champ Aki Hida and Foster on his fourth title defense. He confirms the next title fight will be Foster vs. Hida, but announces Hida’s broken hand will keep him out of action for 4 months.

Van Der Linde doesn’t want to keep Bloodsport on the shelf that long, and isn’t going to pass over a fighter for a title shot. The plan is to hold the next tournament and the title fight in four months, but have a show of super fights within the next month or two.

The superfight show is still up in the air, but Van Der Linde believes it will be their return trip to Canada. If that is the case, Gage Rossignol will be in the main event. The card will likely have a Canada vs. The World theme.

At 1-4, Phil Verdigree would normally be released but their fight was so good he’s getting one more shot.

Mantas Andreyev Fighting Team had a huge night, picking up four wins amongst the three team members competing.

Fight of the Night goes to Fezzik – Verdigree, Submission of the Night goes to Aki Hida for his RNC of Veeti Kuqi, and KO of the Night goes to Mantas Andreyev for his KO of Bushman.

Sean Morrison (5-2) vs. Leon Daudelin (0-0)

This stacked card keeps delivering, as former tournament winner Sean Morrison welcomes Canadian Leon Daudelin to pro MMA. Daudelin is an Olympic-level wrestler that has made quite a name for himself prior to MMA. He is jumping into the deep end on this fight, though.

Sherman Shields (1-0) vs. Robun Yamazaki (3-1)

Yamazaki was one of Japan’s most active fighters prior to joining Bloodsport, but he has stumbled in hi pro debut. He will attempt to right the ship against the Canadian Shields, who has a decent backgroung in wrestling.

Blaze Rabalais (1-0) vs. Harry Milne (1-2)

Harry Milne returns to the Bloodsport cage despite two disappointing runs at Bloodsport 2 and Bloodsport 4.

Facing him is Rabalais, a former amateur wrestler out of Montreal.

Ricardo Fernandes (1-2) vs. Octavio Dube (1-0)

Returning to the cage is Fernandes, an exciting muay thai fighter that is a fan favorite.

MMA Update: Hida Injury Setback; Bloodsport 7 date change; new Bloodsport venture, Where Are They Now? + More!

May 1990

Lots of news this week, and most of it centers around Bloodsport title challenger Aki Hida. Hida has suffered an injury setback, making his potential title fight scheduled for later this summer impossible. Per Bloodsport officials, the fight will still main event Bloodsport 7, but the event will not take place until late September at the earliest.

Six months between tournaments sounds like a real setback for Bloodsport. While this weeks Canadian super show was well received and turned a profit, there is concern about taking so much time between title fights.

Bloodsport Challenger Series

That leads us to the next bit of news; the rumored creation of the Bloodsport Challenger Series. While not finalized, the idea appears to be mixing in more superfight events in between major tournament shows. These events would take place internationally in areas where the company is hoping to secure TV deals like Europe and the UK. It is also rumored an event in Mexico is coming due to the strong ratings they're drawing south of the border.

Where Are They Now?

We've been through 7 Bloodsport events now, and some of the veterans from Bloodsport 1: Genesis are long gone from the company. So where are they now?

Most remember that James Foster won the first fight in Bloodsport history, but not everyone remembers his opponent Bence Bodor. Bodor (2-2 MMA, 0-2 Bloodsport) is still fighting and has picked up two wins since his release. Fighting in smaller euro promotions, Bodor eked out a split decision in his first fight back and is coming off a big knockout win against regional competition.

Lev Mikhaylichenko (2-2 MMA, 0-2 Bloodsport) was a blue chip pro boxing prospect that shocked the world by entering MMA. After his release from Bloodsport, many expected Lev to return to boxing. Once again suprising fight fans, Lev has stuck around and picked up two impressive knockouts in the European regional scene. Rumor has it that we may see a Bloodsport return for the giant Russian sooner rather than later.

News and Notes

While Bloodsport is the most prominent promotion in the world, D-1 crowned its first two champions at their first event. Socorro Fragoso (4-0 MMA, 1-0 D-1) only need 30 seconds to put Mikel Breshear to sleep and capture their lightweight title. The featherweight title was won by Alvaro Negredo (2-0 MMA, 1-0 D-1) who finished Afanasy Krylova with a body kick.

A number of Japanese fighters are turning heads on the regional scene. Naoki Itoh (5-0) has finished all of his fights with strikes, and is the first fighter in history to accumulate 4 knock outs. Dokuohtei Kuroki (5-0) is the only fighter on Earth not named James Foster with four submission wins under his belt.

Two more world class fighters have entered MMA, but not yet debuted. The face of BJJ in Argentina, black belt Zacaris Gomez has a lot of fight fans excited despite only weighing around 135 pounds. And following in the footsteps of Aki Hida and Kenji Toma, Japanese Olympic wrestler Misao Ogihara has begun training in the sport full time.

BLOODSPORT UPDATE: FULL SCHEDULE THROUGH END OF THE YEAR + NOTES

After a slower start to the year and some questions on how the promotion would finish out 1990, Bloodsport has released their schedule for the rest of the year. It is ambitious to say the least. Between now and the end of the year, Bloodsport has announced five events in the upcoming six months. Two of those will be numbered Bloodsport events, while the other three will be Bloodsport Challenger Series.

As a reminder, Bloodsport Challenger Series are designed to be held in new markets and will primarily be used for younger prospects and vets that need a win. Going forward, winners on the Challenger Series will earn spots in Bloodsport Tournaments for a shot at gold.

The next event on the books is a month away in July. The first Challenger Series is set in Spain and the headliner is fantastic. Sean Morrison (6-2) will take on the highest ranked 155 pound fighter in the world, D-1 Lightweight Champion Socorro Fragoso (4-0). The champion is coming off an impressive win over Mikel Brashear, and has finished every fight in the first round. The card in Spain will also feature the homecoming of Fernando Amaro and other Bloodsport veterans like Rick Stanley and Veeti Kuqi.

In August, Bloodsport Challenger Series makes its way to Scotland. In the main event, Bloodsport favorite Jeff Carlton (9-3) takes on Scottish prospect Knox Hird (1-0). The card also features the pro debut of Olympian Kenji Toma vs. native Scott Cliff McAddam.

The the third event on the books is the highly-anticipated Bloodsport 8. The 8th installment is headlined by a title fight between James Foster (8-0) and Aki Hida (3-1). The event will also host a tournament to crown the next title contender, which will include fan favorite Terrance Bushman and (3-2) Greg Atteveld (2-2).

In November, the Bloodsport Challenger Series heads to Moscow. At the top of the card is an intriguing matchup between Bloodsport legend Mantas Andreyev (3-2) and savage Japanese striker Naoki Itoh (5-0). Itoh makes his debut after becoming the first fighter to accumulate four knockouts. The Russia card will also feature the return of Lev Mikhaylichenko (2-2 MMA, 0-2 Bloodsport)

Finally, in what is becoming a yearly tradition, Bloodsport 9 will take place on New Years Eve in Las Vegas. While nothing is on the books for Bloodsport 9, it is expected Gage Rossignol (2-0) will make his U.S. debut.

Zaco has fought on more Bloodsport cards than anyone not named James Foster, and he is the heavy favorite to prevail this time around. He faces Fedencio Natal from Portugal, a BJJ brown belt with few accolades. Zaco has a noticeable size advantage as well.

Elder Sagun (2-0) vs. Duane Weatherly (2-0)

Spain's favorite kick boxer Elder Sagun will make his Bloodsport debut against Duane Weatherly, a man some have quietly tipped as one of the only men of similar size that could beat Sean Morrison. Weatherly will have the size advantage here though, as Sagun fights at around 132 pounds.

Kameel Kazaku (0-0) vs. Veeti Kuqi (2-2)

Not much is known about the Romanian Kazaku, other than he tips the scales at 265 pounds. That isn't an advantage given that Kuqi, his opponent, fights above that weight. Kuqi looked sharp at Bloodsport 6 and is the heavy favorite.

Manol Sirakov (3-0) vs. Mark Cohen (2-0)

Two highly anticipated debuts from two big men, starting with Bulgaria's Manol Sirakov. An enormous brawler, he has also flashed serious submission skills. He faces accomplished collegiate wrestler Mark Cohen.

Baylen Devaux (2-0) vs. Blaze Rabalais (1-1)

It's an all-Canadian opener as Blaze Rabalais looks for better look than in his Bloodsport debut against the debuting Canadian National Judo Champion Baylen Devaux.

Predictions:

Sean Morrison vs. Socorro Fragoso

Fernando Amaro vs. Rogerio Frutos

Rick Stanley vs. Nerio Trimboli

Zaco vs. Fidencio Natal

Elder Sagun vs. Duane Weatherly

Kameel Kazaku vs. Veeti Kuqi

Manol Sirakov vs. Mark Cohen

Bloodsport Challenger Series 1

Baylen Delvaux (2-0) vs. Blaze Rabalais (1-1, 0-1 Bloodsport)

The two Canadians come together at the opening bell looking to grapple, Delvaux gets underhooks on the slightly bigger man, but they break apart. Rabalais is pressuring Delvaux, but neither are landing much. The two men snap jabs and miss big punches until Rabalais goes for the clinch at the 8 minute mark, but Delvaux reverses Rabalais and puts him against the fence. After a minute, Rabalais reverses, forcing Delvaux against the cage. The action stalls until the three minute mark when Delvaux breaks free. Rabalais looks winded and eats a combo before getting dumping on his back with a judo throw. Rabalais pulls guard, and Delvaux starts dropping elbows. Rabalais scrambles but gives up his arm in the process, and Delvaux quickly taps him with an armbar!

Winner Delvaux, submission via armbar (14:30)

Manol Sirakov (3-0) vs. Mark Cohen (2-0)

Sirakov comes in nearly 50 pounds heavier than Cohen, but it is Cohen that takes the initiative. The two men trade strikes early, with Sirakov earning a gash over his eye right away. Both men are landing, but Sirakov is getting the best of it. The bigger man slows to catch his breath, and Cohen wraps him up. Cohen forces Sirakov to the fence and then trips him to his back. Cohen quickly slips to side control and is dropping bombs! A big shot gets through and Sirakov goes limp, ending the contest.

Winner Cohen, by KO (3:02)

Kameel Kazaku (0-0) vs. Veeti Kuqi (3-2)

Kuqi is fighting in his home Europe for the first time, but surprisingly is at a weight disadvantage by four pounds. Seconds in, Kuqi lands a straight right that crumples Kazaku! He follows the Romanian to the floor and puts him out with two big shots just seconds into the contest.

Winner Kuqi, by KO (0:39)

Elder Sagun (2-0) vs. Duane Weatherly (2-0)

The first hometown fighter on the card, Sagun gets a big reaction. Weatherly scores with a hard kick to the ribs, but then walks right into a right cross that has him wobbled! Weatherly is backed against the cage turtled up, eating huge shots but somehow breaks free! Sagun is chasing and landing, but looks winded. Weatherly is pressuring here, but Sagun is using his great head movement to avoid most of the shots. Sagun is fading and Weatherly picks up the pace, scoring with a glancing head shot before flattening Sagun with a big left! Weatherly unleashes brutal stomps to Sagun’s head and body, but Sagun holds on for dear life, pulling Weatherly into his guard. Weatherly quickly transitions to side control and locks in a Kimura, forcing Sagun to tap!

Winner Weatherly, submission via Kimura (4:20)

Zaco (3-3) vs. Fidencio Natal (0-0)

Another hometown fighter, Natal is noticeably smaller than a bulked-up Zaco. Zaco looks like he’s going to stay standing, and he starts peppering Natal with jabs. Zaco has a big reach advantage, and Natal has no answer. A stiff cross comes through that snaps Natal’s head back, and he appears to have broken his jaw. Natal is pawing jabs but clearly hurt. Zaco lands a 1-2 and Natal is out!

Winner Zaco, by KO (1:28)

Rick Stanley (1-2) vs. Nerio Trimboli (3-0)

Trimboli comes out swinging wildly, but Stanley is happy to sit back and counterpunch. Trimboli wings a wild hook, only to get crushed with a massive uppercut. Trimboli goes down, and Stanley lines up a soccer kick but Trimboli scrambles to his feet first. Trimboli is backing up now, and Stanley scores a hard body kick. Trimboli is landing a few jabs, but taking 3-4 shots for each one. Trimboli is getting wobbled and looking desperate. At 4 minutes in he throws a haymaker and eats a counter hook that puts him to sleep.

Winner Stanley, by KO (3:46)

Fernando Amaro (2-3) vs. Rogerio Frutos (0-0)

The all-Spain co-main is next, but Amaro is a big betting favorite despite being slightly undersized. Amaro is fighting from distance, and Frutos acquits himself well. Frutos even scores a counter jab, before Amaro swarms him with punches and puts him out with a big hook!

Winner Amaro, by KO (0:45)

Sean Morrison (6-2) vs. Socorro Fragoso (4-0)

Both men come in hot, snapping jabs but not committing. Morrison is pressuring Fragoso, but the Brazilian is landing more punches. Fragoso bites hard on a feint and Morrison scores with a withering head body head combo that has Fragoso backing up. Both men land some shots through three minutes, and both look sharp. Morrison comes in trying to tie up but eats some shots. Fragoso tries to capitalize but walks right into a takedown, landing in guard. Morrison quickly takes side control and attempts a Kimura, but Fragoso defends. Minutes tick by as Morrison fights for the Kimura while Fragoso defends and tries to slip into guard. Morrison gives up on the kimura and drops short punches, content to control. The fight winds down as Morrison pins Fragoso in side control, tying up his arms and dropping soft ground and pound until the bell.

Winner Morrison, by Unanimous Decision (15:00)

Post Fight Press Conference

The CEO praises the Spanish crowd and vows to come back.

He says expect most of the winners back in some capacity, would like to see Delvaux in a tournament.

Says he is impressed with Fragoso but that he will still fight for D-1.

Expects to give Sirakov another shot but thinks most of the other losers need more seasoning before returning to bloodsport.

Zaco picked up KO of the night.

Bloodsport Update: Challenger Series 2 full fight card + New Years Eve Gets Main Event

Starting off, we have big news regarding the main event for Bloodsport 9 which is set for New Years Eve 1990. As was previously rumored, Canadian superstar Gage Rossignol (2-0) is booked for the event in the headlining spot. Across the cage from him will be Duane Weatherly (3-0 MMA, 1-0 Bloodsport). Tipped as one of the best prospects for a smaller fighter, Weatherly was rumored to have been brought in to face Sean Morrison but finds himself thrust into the main event against arguably Bloodsport's biggest star. Weatherly won his debut in dramatic fashion, nearly getting finished by Elder Sagun in Bloodsport Challenger Series 1 before ultimately submitting him. This is one of the biggest fights in the history of the promotion, if not the sport.

Bloodsport Challenger Series 2: Scotland Fight card

The second challenger series fight card is official, and it looks similar to the first. Most of the lower level fights are Scottish or European fighters with limited experience taking Bloodsport vets in need of a win.

Main Event

Jeff Carlton (9-3) vs. Knox Hird (1-0)

Arguably the second best fighter in the short history of the sport, Carlton has been haunted by losing three times to kingpin James Foster. It appears his role now may be as a showcase fighter, at least for as long as Foster is on top. On the other side of the cage is Scottish submission grappler Knox Hird. Hird is an aggressive fighter with a grappling background plus knockout power, but he is in deep for his Bloodsport debut. Hird will also be outweighed by a good 50 pounds in this fight.

Kenji Toma (0-0) vs. Cliff McAddam (1-1, 0-1 Bloodsport)

For combat sport officianados, the highlight of this card may be the pro debut of Kenji Toma. A Japanese Judoka, Toma is following in the footsteps of Aki Hida by leaving the Japanese Olympic Team to step into the Bloodsport cage. He makes his debut against the scrappy Scott Cliff McAddam, who was submitted in his Bloodsport debut by Fernando Amaro in just under three minutes.

Phil Verdigree (1-4) vs. Thierry Rougeux (1-0, Bloodsport Debut)

Fan favorite Phil Verdigree was expected to get bounced from the promotion if he lost to the debuting Hassan Fezzik, but Verdigree once again put on a gritty, exciting performance that bought him one more shot. He fights kickboxer Thierry Rougeux, who has little film other than a brief TKO win in a Canadian regional fight.

Morihiro Fujikawa (3-0) vs. Walter May (2-0)

Another Japanese import, Fujikawa is known as a head hunter that has won all of his bouts by head kick KO. He fights unheralded Scottish striker Walter May, who will come in at a whopping 100 pound weight disadvantage. May has the much more polished technique and speed on his side, which has made him a surprising betting favorite.

Kurt Stonge (2-0, Bloodsport Debut) vs. Camden Vessey (0-1)

The debuting Stonge is a large specimen of a fighter with a strong Jiu-Jitsu track record. He faces kickboxer Camden Vessey, whose only pro fight was a brutal 39 second TKO loss to Terrance Bushman at Bloodsport 6. Sponge is the much larger man and a heavy favorite.

Jamarion Ketchen (1-0, Bloodsport debut) vs. Don Norman (1-1, 0-1 Bloodsport)

Former pro boxer Don Norman has been tapped to introduce one of Scotland’s best prospects to the cage. Jamarion Ketchen is a former pro kick boxer making his Bloodsport debut. Norman’s only fight in the promotion was a submission loss to Frank Analysis. Both men are the same size, but Ketchen is far more skilled and athletic.

Zack Dalrymple (1-0, Bloodsport debut) vs. Sherman Shields (2-0, 1-0 Bloodsport)

Zack Dalrymple is the next Scottish fighter to debut with the company. A Jiu-Jitsu brown belt, he is one of the largest fighters on the card. Unfortunately for him, the only larger man fighting is his opponent, massive Canadian wrestler Sherman Shields. Shields won his Bloodsport debut against Robun Yamazaki with stifling wrestling, but his cardio suffered badly.

Morell Sartin (1-0) vs. Thiago Ceni (3-0, Bloodsport debut)

Morell Sartin won his pro and Bloodsport debut at Bloodsport 7. He was one of the few Canadians to win, tapping Monty Olivier with an armbar in 6 minutes. He faces the much smaller Thiago Ceni, the most recent BJJ black belt to enter the sport.

Tag01 · January 17, 2019

Bloodsport Challenger Series 2: Scotland

Morell Sartin – Canada (1-0) vs. Thiago Ceni (3-0) – Brazil

At the time of the bell, Sartin has over 55 pounds on his Brazilian foe. Sartin shoots immediately, backing Ceni against fence and landing a few knees until the Escola da Luta student circles away. The men start brawling, with most punches missing. Ceni scores a wild hook and begins to back Sartin down. Ceni is landing now, as the much bigger man is struggling to evade. Sartin has his head snapped back with a straight, and he is bleeding above the eye. Ten minutes in and Ceni begins to slow, but he is outlanding Sartin at a huge rate as the Canadian can’t match the speed of his opponent. Ceni is sucking wind at the 13 minute mark, but he is still taking the fight to Sartin who is now a bloody mess. With just under two minutes left Ceni looks spent, and Sartin finally manages to push him against the fence. Sartin works him over with body punches but it’s not enough.

Winner, Ceni by Unanimous Decision

Zack Dalrymple – Scotland (1-0) vs. Sherman Shields – Canada (2-0)

Dalrymple has the crowd in the palm of his hand as he enters, and he starts the fight off with a stinging jab. Shields is not deterred however, backing Dalrymple up for two minutes while they exchange strikes. Shields is getting the best of the boxing so far, but at two minutes in he is already looking tired. Shields is sucking wind, and Dalrymple decides to pick up the pace until he walks into a huge right! The Scott is out before he hits the floor!

Winner, Shields by KO (3:22)

Jamarion Ketchen – Scotland (1-0) vs. Don Norman – Canada (1-1)

One of the loudest cheers of the night is for Ketchen, who many consider Scotland’s top prospect. Ketchen is a true mixed martial artist that doesn’t hail from a single background, and he is quite shorter than the boxer Norman. The two men paw jabs at each other, before Ketchen snaps Norman’s head back with a right. Norman tries to work the body but Ketchen circles out and lands a glancing head kick. Ketchen starts landing with leg kicks, but is slowing down. At the five minute mark, both men look ragged and fall into a clinch. Ketchen muscles Norman against the fence and lands some dirty boxing. Ketchen’s dirty boxing is nasty, and he wobbles Norman with uppercuts twice before unloading with knees. The exhausted Scott drapes over Norman, lander few blows until the Canadian eventually breaks free and returns to the center of the cage. Both men are completely gassed as they circle warily with 7 minutes left. Norman look sharper here, generally landing two shots for each he takes. Ketchen is bleeding. With four minutes left, a desperate Ketchen wraps up Norman and forces him into the fence. He takes a few breaks from gasping for air to drive a knee into Norman’s ribs. At two minutes remaining, the ref stops the bout to have the doctor check Ketchen’s cut. The doc lets the fight continue and the breather seems to have helped the Scott, who floors Norman with a big hook as soon as the fight resumes! Ketchen dives on Norman with stomps and kicks, but ends up pulling guard. The two men grapple feebly, with both scrambling to their feet as time runs out. All told, Ketchen out-landed Norman 5 to 1 with a knockdown.

Winner, Ketchen by Unanimous Decision

Kurt Stonge – USA (2-0) vs. Camden Vessey – England (0-1)

Stonge is the biggest betting favorite of the night, and also comes in with a huge 65 pound weight advantage. The bell rings and Vessey is light on his feet. He scores two body kicks quickly, then lands a punch combo that ends with a hook to the ribs. Stonge is backing away, pawing jabs but eating hard kicks over and over. The crowd is behind Vessey who lays in two hard leg kicks. The Englishman overcommits, winging a headkick the misses only to be taken down by Stonge. From there it’s short work for Stonge, who slips into mount in mere seconds and quickly locks in an arm triangle for the tap!

Winner Stonge, submission via arm triangle (3:51)

Morihiro Fujikawa – Japan (3-0) vs. Walter May – Scotland (2-0)

Another Scottish favorite takes the cage, but Walter May is outweighed by a staggering 100 pounds. Even so, May is the much more celebrated kick boxer. The bell rings and Fijikawa throws a huge head kick, but May ducks it and blisters the Japanese striker with a combination that has him off balance. Fujikawa backs May up, nearly kicking his legs out from under him with a big leg kick. The men trade 1-2 punches, with May handling some big shots from the big man. Fujikawa throws a lazy leg kick and May catches it! He drags the big man down, settling into his guard. Fujikawa is lost on the ground and gives up side control. He tries to burst to his feet, only to get caught in a Kimura by May! The crowd goes ballistic as Fujikawa taps!

Winner May, submission by kimura (4:28)

Phil Verdigree – UK (1-4) vs. Thierry Rougeux – Canada (1-0)

Despite hailing from Wales, Verdigree walks in to a hero’s welcome. The two men circle warily, both men missing jabs early. Rougeux has the reach advantage here, and he is using it to land first. Rougeux scores with a body kick but eats a 1-2 combo in response. More body kicks land, and Verdigree starts to slow. The Canadian comes in with wild hooks, but Verdigree ducks them. Both men stand and trade in the center, just swinging wildly. Verdigree starts eating punches, eventually wrapping up Rougeux and forcing him into the fence. The fight turns in Verdigree’s favor here, as the minutes tick down with Rougeux eating elbows and knees against the cage. Both men are exhausted, but Rougeux can’t break free and eats shots against the fence until the bell. Does Verdigree dodge another pink slip here?

Winner Verdigree, by Unanimous Decision

Co-Main Event

Kenji Toma – Japan (0-0) vs. Cliff McAddam – Scotland (1-1)

McAddam gets the hero’s welcome, but there is a buzz about whether or not Toma will live up to the hype. Toma wades in at the bell and shrugs off two stiff shots from McAddam to force a clinch. From there it is academic, and Toma flips McAddam ass over teakettle with a highlight reel Judo throw. McAddam is stunned from the throw and Toma takes his back, sinking the RNC for the tap!

Winner Toma, submission by RNC (1:07)

Main Event

Jeff Carlton – USA (9-3) vs. Knox Hird – Scotland (1-0)

Hird is adored by the home crowd, but is giving up about 45 pounds in this fight. Carlton comes out at the bell, immediately showing his greatly improved boxing. Carlton is landing jabs at range and mixing in combos, to the point that Hird is trying to force a clinch. After getting his head snapped back by three jabs, Hird desperately wraps up Carlton. Hird tries to pull guard, but Carlton answers him back slamming him hard into the mat! Hird regrets this immediately as Carlton powers into side control. Jeff is dropping hammers here, but Hird is surviving. Carlton, breathing heavily, pins Hird’s arms by laying across him in side control, and simply drops short punches onto Hird for the rest of the fight.

Winner Carlton, by Unanimous Decision

Press Conference

Camden Vessey and Cliff McAddam have been released. The door is open for a return if they pick up a few wins elsewhere.

Van Der Linde was extremely impressed with Toma; plans on giving him a few more fights before he enters a tournament.

Fight of the Night Shields vs. Dalrymple

KO of the Night: Shields

Submission of the Night: Toma

Tag01 · January 19, 2019

Bloodsport 8: Foster vs. Hida Final Card

Main Event

King of Bloodsport Title

James Foster (8-0) vs. Aki Hida (3-1)

The best fighter in the world is back, and he’s the favorite to keep his title. But that doesn’t mean Aki Hida isn’t a threat. While Hida was stopped in his pro debut by Jeff Carlton, he was competitive in wrestling scrambles early. Hida used his wrestling to run through the Bloodsport 6 tournament, notching dominant wins over Leon Banks, Veeti Kuqi, and Mantas Andreyev.

Bloodsport 8 Tournament

Terrance Bushman (3-2) vs. Monty Olivier (0-1)

The Bloodsport 8 tournament opens with the most popular fighter in the United States, Terrance Bushman. The karate phenom has brutal stoppage wins over Camden Vessey, Ricardo Fernandes, and Tyeis Dain. But Bushman was quickly submitted by Jerezo in the finals of the Bloodsport 5 tournament, and upset by Mantas Andreyev in his last outing. Bushman faces the unheralded Monty Olivier of France, who was submitted by Morell Sartin at Bloodsport 7: Canada vs. The World.

Robun Yamazaki (3-2 MMA, 0-2 Bloodsport) vs. Frank Analysis (2-2)

Yamazaki came to Bloodsport with the reputation of being the best fighter in Japan, but he struggled out of the gate with losses to Zaco and Sherman Shields. He hopes to turn it around against the larger kickboxer Frank Analysis. Analysis has been inconsistent, with wins over Don Norman and Ricardo Fernandes, but losses against Rick Stanley and Jeff Carlton.

Greg Atteveld (2-2 MMA, 0-2 Bloodsport) vs. Leon Banks (1-1 MMA, 0-1 Bloodsport)

Greg Atteveld faces Leon Banks in a battle between two fighters looking for their first win in the promotion. Atteveld is best known for his war with Jerezo at Bloodsport 5. Not only was it the first fight between two BJJ black belts in MMA history, it was also the 1989 Fight of the Year. Atteveld faces Banks, a former boxer who lost his Bloodsport debut by decision to Aki Hida.

Zaco (4-3) vs. Baylen Delvaux (3-0, 1-0 Bloodsport)

The favorite for many pundits, Zaco has fought on more Bloodsport cards than nearly anyone. Zaco has several good wins, but came up short in three different tournaments. Could the fourth time be the charm? He faces Baylen Delvaux, one of Canada’s top judokas. He impressed at Bloodsport Challenger Series 1: Spain with a submission of Blaze Rabalais.

Alternate Bout

Hassan Fezzik (1-0) vs. Octavio Dube (1-0 1NC)

leishi · January 30, 2019

Really like the dynasty.

Predictions:

Main event winner: James Foster

Tournament winner: Terrance Bushman

Tournament runner-up: Baylen Delvaux

BlueStar · February 25, 2019

How do you set fights without weight levels? I have a 0-0-0 European fed with 2 weight classes and even in those classes, I get certain fights not being allowed (unless I set the weight to Catch level)?
