Humphreys Signs For CTC!

In breaking news Jack Humphreys has signed with the CTC. Humphreys is the biggest name fighter to sign for the CTC since "The Great Canandian Exodus" before CTC had even run a show. This information has been confirmed by CTC owner, and CEO Mark "CageRage" Addison, himself a former fighter on the Canadian Regional circuit. "We are proud to have been able to draw in a fighter of Jack Humphrey's calibre, and are looking forward to having him competing in our cage as soon as possible. He will surely be part of the Welterweight Championship Tournament in Season 2. He may fight at Sunday Night Fights 6 in June if he recovers from his last fight in time."

Humphreys has a professional record of 25-11, and is a former GAMMA title challenger, losing a Unanimous Decision to Julio Regueiro at GAMMA 14. He is a wrestler, with an major talent for beating up opponents in the clinch.

Known as much for his trash talking, and controversial run-ins with many of GAMMA's top fighters, and brass, the CTC may have a headache on their hands, as well as an accomplished fighter.

Humphreys was recently cut from GAMMA's roster after years with the promotion after he lost a Unanimous Decision to Nathan Chambers in the Co-Main Event of GAMMA 50.

CTC announced some other signings as well, looking to strengthen a weak Super Heavyweight division. Signing Joe Snettisham, who is coming off a first round submission loss to Cory Frain at GAMMA 50. As well as signing Abe Locke, and Marty Sinnar out of ALPHA-1's Super Heavyweight stable. They also continued their depleting of WEFF's roster with the signings of Womens Bantamweight fighters Hester Maclean, and Rose Nessa.

Since losing to Rushton, Middleton has reeled off three straight victories, a first round knock out of Peter Windsor, and Unanimous Decision victories over Eric Hughes and Gary Sampson, all in GAMMA. Dwight Witherspoon is a kickboxer, but has taken enough BJJ classes to have solid ground fundamentals , including a nasty triangle that makes good use of his long legs.

Matas Fialkowska is a fighter trained in Krav Maga, who loves nothing better than getting in the cage and going to war. He started competing at Super Heavyweight, even though he could really be a really big Heavyweight. Marmaduke Chuffnell is a fighter that apparently has a chin made of adamantium.

Super Heavyweight Bout: Seb Morehead (9-1, Favorite: -420) vs. Hans Gorner (2-0, Underdog: +330)

Seb Morehead has one of the most impressive physiques in the Super Heavyweight Division, and is an intimidating sight. He is no joke when it comes to the fight either. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Kel Ryan in GAMMA. Hans Gorner is a kickboxer, noted for his fast and accurate strikes, he lacks the power you'd expect from someone his size.

He is coming of a first round TKO victory over Vinnie MacEntyre in CTC.

Super Heavyweight Bout: Dan Bickersteth (5-0, Favorite: -360) vs. Svein Haugen (1-0, Favorite: +280)

Dan Bickersteth is a striker, who has such vicious power in his hands, that he is always just one punch away from putting an opponents out. Pretty one dimensional right now, he is working hard to add to his MMA arsenal.

His general striking is not quite as good, but is good enough he shouldn't be underestimated.

Super Heavyweight Bout: Zydrunas Sigauskas (2-0, Favorite: -230) vs. Colin JL Capes (2-0, Underdog: +180)

Zydrunas Sigauska is a massive grappler, with immense strength. Once he gets a hold of you he's very difficult to shake off.

Iggy Coan is a massive Muay Thai fighter, who possesses great physical strength, and hits like a truck. Could be a big name in the Super Heavyweight Division with a little experience under his belt.

Fallout

- Nadine Bernard is asked after her fight who she'd like to fight next, and she said she'd like to smack Sue Eccleston around a bit, that could probably be arranged.

- After her victory, Zuri Lefevre is asked who she'd be interested in fighting next, and she replies that Catherine Newmar would present an interesting challenge. This is unlikely as Newmar has qualified for the Season 2 Womens Lightweight Tournament, by winning the Sunday Night Fights 2 Tournament.

Philip Ziskie is the concensus top Featherweight in the world, and has found great success through a combination of high intensity striking, solid freestyle wrestling, and a devastating left hand. His last loss was in his last fight with Gaffigan, when he lost the XCC Featherweight Title to Gaffigan in a four round war, that ended with a TKO from Gaffigan. He has since won five straight fights, and is coming off a successful XCC Featherweight Title defense against Anthony Ray Shenkman, where Ziskie won by fourth round submission. Sammy Gaffigan is a kickboxer, with a massive amount of cross training in just about every martial art known to man. He is on a two fight winning streak, and is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Luiz Macado.

CO-MAIN EVENT

Featherweight Bout: Azor Portela Nunes (24-6, Favorite: -320) vs. Harvey Ripa (12-7, Underdog: +250)

Azor Portela Nunes is a devastating Muay Thai striker, he is pretty lethal if he can get his opponent in the clinch, and has nasty leg kicks. He is on a losing streak, and is coming off a Split Decision loss to David James Diggle. A throwback to the early days of MMA, Harvey Ripa is extremely one dimensional. A kickboxer, once you nullify his kicks, he has no plan B, but as long as he has his quick high kicks, he is a knock out danger.

Semi-Final Bout in the Sunday Night Fights 4 Featherweight Tournament

Featherweight Bout: Anthony Ray Shenkman (19-5, Favorite: -150) vs. Frank Romita (13-2, Underdog: +110)

Anthony Ray Shenkman is a close-quarters, in your face wrestler, who is known for grinding out decision victories over his opponents. In his last fight, Shenkman challenged Philip Ziskie for the XCC Featherweight Title, losing by submission in the fourth round.

Featherweight Bout: Chauncey Morin (0-0, Underdog: +580) vs. Rafael Tavares (16-4, Favorite: -730)

When Easton Frye went out with a training injury, Chauncey Morin practically begged for this extremely tough debut fight.

He has been shown to be vulnerable to bullying wrestlers in the past. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Jimmy Schott in his last fight.

Featherweight Bout: Foggy Lee (10-3, Favorite: -1200) vs. Beau LuPone (7-2, Underdog: +950)

Foggy Lee is a bit of an all-rounder, he has a competent striking game, but based on a large volume of small punches, rather than possessing any power. He is surprisingly adept on the ground for someone entirely self taught in that area. Beau Lupone is a kickboxer, with good kicks in his arsenal, but is let down by his atrocious ground game.

PRELIMINARY CARD

Sunday Night Fights 4 Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Elijah Pyre (2-0, Underdog: +220) vs. Marvin Crews (1-0, Favorite: -280)

Elijah Pyre is a kickboxer, known for his powerful punches, and iron chin. He can stand with anyone, it's too bad his grappling, and ground game are so poor by comparison. Marvin Crews is a ground and pound specialist, with strong takedowns, who is hard to shake off once he gets to top control.

Sunday Night Fights 4 Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Benoit LeMarche (2-0, Favorite: -230) vs. Benny Dukes (1-0, Underdog: +180)

Benoit LeMarche is a wrestler, who combines the ability to control his opponents via grappling, with some heavy hands. He's vulnerable to rookie mistakes on the ground. Benny Dukes is a wrestler, good at putting his opponent on the ground. He has power in his hands, and most opponents underestimate his striking because of his lack of technique, and end up getting floored by a massive bomb out of nowhere.

Sunday Night Fights 4 Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Olly WhisStkerton (1-0, Favorite: -500) vs. Lothar Marks (1-0, +390)

Olly Whiskerton is a rookie who has been trained by the coaching team at War Dogs. It's not clear at this point what his potential is, but his background in Shaolin Kung Fu should ensure he has some skills at his disposal. Lothar Marks is a kickboxer, small but explosive, and is known for his thudding kicks, especially to the legs and ribs which should wear down opponents early.

Sunday Night Fights 4 Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Stewart Point (1-0, Favorite: -250) vs. Ward Maloprop (1-0, Underdog: +190)

Stewart Point put together a very good record as an amateur wrestler. Noted for his extraordinary conditioning, Point loves to try and overwhelm opponents with takedowns, and stifling top control. Ward Maloprop is an amateur boxer, considered one of the top prospects in that sports. He switched sports, and spent a year training other areas to become a proper mixed martial artist. His lightning fast hands remain his most potent weapon, but he has enough wrestling to protect himself.

Featherweight Bout: Tyler Aidi (8-0, Favorite: -520) vs. Clint Royle (2-0, Underdog: +410)

Tyler Aidi is an intense fighter, who has studied BJJ since his teens. Dangerous on the ground, however he possesses no striking threat. Clint Royle is an old school fighter, who's gameplan revolves around getting his opponent to the ground, and working towards a submission.

Featherweight Bout: Buck Graham (2-0, Underdog: +470) vs. Mark Lee (3-0, Favorite: -600)

Buck Graham is a decent kickboxer, who can stand and trade with anybody, but he is horrible in all other areas of MMA. Mark Lee is a kickboxer, who was also on his high school wrestling team, giving him a well rounded MMA game.

Featherweight Bout: Ilya Fedorov (7-0, Draw: -110) vs. Roger Bean (8-0, Draw: -110)

Ilya Fedorov is an out and out brawler, who's power makes him dangerous, but if taken off his feet he's basically useless. Roger Bean is a kickboxer, who has an unorthodox striking style. If he gets taken down, he has no defense on the ground.

Featherweight Bout: Alejandro Laguera (7-0, Favorite: -350) vs. Krzysztof Bujniki (8-0, Underdog: +270)

A potential future star at Featherweight, Alejandro Laguera is one of the hardest punchers at this weight, with excellent boxing technique, and vicious power. Krzysztof Bujniki is a kickboxer, with decent kicks, and an elusive, stick and move fighting style.

Featherweight Bout: Jay Dorridge (9-2, Favorite: -650) vs. Louie Sullivan (7-0, Underdog: +510)

Jay Dorridge is a Judoka, with powerful throws, and a good submission game, and his close quarters grappling is also hard to deal with. Louie Sullivan is from a boxing background, with an elusive fighting style, his lack of power, and stick and move styles lead to a lot of decision victories.

Featherweight Bout: Guilherme de Barros (8-0, Underdog: +240) vs. Freddy Lomax (7-0, Favorite: -310)

Guilherme de Barros is a Muay Thai striker, who has cross trained extensively in other areas of MMA. A dangerous striker, he is capable of knocking any opponent out cold. Freddy Lomax is a versatile fighter, who is competent in all areas of MMA. He is not great at anything, which could be a problem against top class opposition.

Fallout

- Jay Dorridge is asked who he'd like to face next, and he says Alejandro Laguera would be an interesting fight. This is certainly something that could happen in the future.

- Luiz Machado is asked who he'd like to face next after his win over David James Diggle, and he smugly says that Sammy Gaffigan is next on his "hit list" It is possible this could happen, as both will likely be participating in the Featherweight Championship Tournament in Season 2.

- After winning the Featherweight Tournament, Ward Maloprop grabs the mic and says that Mark Lee "better get prepared" because he's coming for him. This fight will likely not happen soon with Maloprop participating in the FEatherweight Tournament.

UPDATED TOURNAMENT BRACKETS

Fallout

- Ronaldo Freitas is asked who he want to fight next after his victory, and declares that Benny Dukes better be prepared because he's coming for him. That might be an interesting fight.

- After her victory, Cortney Lefebvre said she would easily beat Catherine Newmar, and would guarantee a win in under five minutes. Catherine Newmar will be competing in the Season 2 Womens Lightweight Tournament, so it might be a while before we see this if at all.

- After his victory over Nimrod Wickhammersley, John Draper grabbed the microphone, and calls out Guy Broom, saying he'll destroy him. This could be a fight that happens. Broom would have a massive weight advantage...

- After his victory over Timmy Dukes, Jazz Snide was asked who he'd like to face next, and he said that he wants Lazaro Campos, any time, any place, and is going to embarrass him. This won't be happening anytime soon, as Snide's next fight will be the Lightweight Tournament Final against Robbie Lynn, and could be a title fight after that if he wins.

- Long time Womens MMA veteran Sandy Oliver celebrated her CTC Womens Flyweight Title victory, and called it the greatest moment of her career. She will now await her first challenger, the winner of the Womens Flyweight Tournament Final between Leslie Myers, and Steph Smith.

Canadian Tournament Combat 12

Friday, Week 2, May 2002

MAIN EVENT

CTC Middleweight Championship Tournament Semi-Final Bout: "The Amazing" JJ Reid (27-7-1, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -310) vs. Bill "The Marine" Brown (9-0, 1-0 CTC, Underdog: +240)

Youth, or experience, will be the question here, as former GAMMA veteran JJ Reid takes on one of the top young fighters in the game in Bill Brown. JJ Reid is a truly world class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu player, whose strength is on the ground. He defeated Owen Hyde by first round submission in the Quarter-Finals. Bill Brown might be the best pure athlete in MMA. He is a good wrestler, who is dangerous on the ground, able to finish with either brutal ground and pound, or slick submissions. He defeated Jordan Flintstone by second round submission in the Quarter-Finals.

CO-MAIN EVENT

CTC Middleweight Championship Tournament Semi-Final Bout: "The Talented" Sutton Ripley (18-4-1, 1-0 CTC, Underdog: +270) vs. "The Mack Attack" Petey Mack (12-5, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -340)

Sutton Ripley is an unorthodox fighter, he has uncanny balance, which makes him incredibly difficult to take down, and a powerful right hand. He lures opponents in before unleashing bombs with the right. He won a first round TKO over Wade LeCavalier in the Quarter-Finals. Petey Mack is dangerous from anywhere in the fight, whether utilizing his powerful striking, his good wrestling, or his under-rated submission game, he has so many weapons he's hard to game plan against. He defeated Esteban Vega by first round TKO in the Quarter-Finals.

MAIN CARD

CTC Season 1 Womens Flyweight Tournament Final Bout: Leslie Myers (8-1, 2-0 CTC, Underdog: +100) vs. Steph Smith (9-0, 2-0 CTC, Favorite: -110)

Leslie Myers can tie opponents in knots with her high level BJJ game. She doesn't have much in the way of striking, which is her main weakness. She had first round submission victories over Maria Ferraz in the Quarter-Finals, and Roz Wareing in the Semi-Finals. Steph Smith is a high level BJJ player, who can play with anyone on the ground, but continually shows poor fight IQ, and tries to stand and bang with opponents. She had a first round submission victory over Toni Dietrich in the Quarter-Finals, and a first round TKO due to a cut victory over Trish Biel in the Semi-Finals.

CTC Season 1 Middleweight Tournament Semi-Final Bout: Ethan "The Terror" Sutton (10-1, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -400) vs. Wederson de Oliveira (8-1, 1-0 CTC, Underdog: +310)

Ethan Sutton is primarily a wrestler, with excellent takedowns. Sutton also has some striking skills, but his lack of power means he's unlikely to score any knockouts. He defeated Todd D'Abruzzo by second round submission in the Quarter-Finals. Wederson de Oliveira is a BJJ player, good off his back, and able to slap on an armbar at a moments notice. His only problem is his mediocre striking, which let's people know what to expect from him. He defeated Tuck Durdell by first round submission in the Quarter-Finals.

CTC Season 1 Middleweight Tournament Semi-Final Bout: Gavin "The Lawman" Marshall (8-0, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -350) vs. Reed "Night Crawler" Howlett (8-0, 1-0 CTC, Underdog: +270)

Gavin Marshall is a great prospect in the weight class. He marries an excellent pedigree in amateur wrestling, with powerful hands to create a fighting style that's hard to deal with. He defeated Moe Muschin by third round TKO in the Quarter-Finals. Reed Howlett is an excellent defensive striker, known for his quick feet, head movement, and elusiveness. He is a quality counter puncher, but lacks the power to threaten opponents with one shot finishes. He defeated Chaim Alexievitch by first round TKO due to a cut in the Quarter-Finals.

Bantamweight Bout: D'Arcy Spode (9-3, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -430) vs. Britt "Sniper Viper" Dickering (7-4, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +340)

D'Arcy Spode is on a three fight losing streak going back to his time in the XCC, however he is hoping to turn it around in the fight. He is a talented all-rounder, who impressed heavily on the regional circuit. He is coming off a third round submission loss to Shoin Chiba in the Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Finals. Britt Dickering is a solid Muay Thai striker, who was the first ever XCC Bantamweight Champion. He also has fallen on hard times, and is looking for a bounce back performance. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Lito Alcala in the Quarter-Finals of the Season 1 Bantamweight Tournament.
