UPDATED TOURNAMENT BRACKETS

 

 

 

 

 

Fallout

 

- After his victory over Abe Locke, Hans Gorner calls out Zydrunas Sigauskas, repeating that "he won't fight me because he knows that I'll win." This fight could happen if both fighters win their Semi-Final bouts.

 

- After his victory over Jouko Kiri, Gunnar Rasmussen is asked who he'd like to face next, and says Den Bickersteth would be someone he'd like to compete against. This is unlikely to happen soon, since they have both advanced in different tournaments.

 

- Sherman Shields took the microphone after his loss to Sebastian Cyr, and officially announced his retirement from professional competition. He retires with a professional record 22-15, and has an 0-2 record in the CTC, including a first round TKO loss to Gunnar Rasmussen at CTC Sunday Night Fights 3, and a second round submission loss to Sebastian Cyr at Canadian Tournament Combat 17.

Hope Lehane is a legit black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and one of the most dangerous women on the planet on the ground. She had a dominant run as WEFF Featherweight Champion, and has continued in that vein since coming to the CTC. She won the Womens Featherweight Championship Tournament, tapping Eiko Shiokawa in the second round, and scoring a first round submission victory over Piper Evergood, before submitting Hanako Shimizu in the first round to win the CTC Womens Featherweight Title! Rosamaria Correa is a devastating Muay Thai striker, a power puncher, who can devastate opponents in striking battles. She won her shot at the title in the Season 1 Womens Featherweight Tournament, with a first round knock out of Ana Natalia Pinto, a Unanimous Decision victory over Maricel Punya, and a 50 second knock out over Vasya Kaczmarek in the Final.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Luiz Machado is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, who has excellent submission skills, and is well known to be very dangerous off his back. A former XCC Featherweight Champion, Machado is coming off a first round Submission victory over David James Diggle in his first CTC fight. Lamont Banner is a world class boxer, with lightning fast, and powerful hands. He has been training in wrestling, to keep the fight on the feet, which should make him even more dangerous. He scored a first round TKO victory over Shuler Eigenberg in his first CTC fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Harvey Ripa is a throwback to the earlier days of MMA, a one-dimensional kickboxer, who once you get past his strong kicks offers little else, but the power and strength of his head kicks always makes him a danger. He won a first round TKO victroy over Azor Portela Nunes in his first CTC fight. Sammy Gaffigan sports an enviably diverse skill set, picked up over years touring the Far East learning different martial arts. He has blended them into a unique fighting style all his own. He lost to Philip Ziskie by third round TKO in his first CTC fight, putting him and Ziskie at a win a piece in their two fights together, this bracket almost seems made to end in Ziskie vs. Gaffigan III to determine the inaugural CTC Featherweight Champion.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>CTC Season 2 Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Chauncey "Whizzer" Morin (1-0, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -110) vs. Foggy Lee (11-3, 1-0 CTC, Underdog: +100)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Chauncey Morin is a talk of the hour in the Featherweight Division, because as a last minute injury replacement at Sunday Night Fights 4, he scored an incredible knock out victory over jiu jitsu ace Rafael Tavares. Morin is a national calibre submission wrestler, with power in his hands, who likes to get people to the ground, where he can either pound them out, or submit them. He has just started training with Tim Boyer's Slaughterhouse team in the hopes of improving his striking. Foggy Lee is only in this tournament because of an injury to Alejandro Laguera. Lee is an all-rounder, who has a good striking game, based more on volume of punches than power, and is surprisingly adept on the ground for someone who is self taught. Lee defeated Beau LuPone by second round submission in his last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>CTC Season 2 Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Ward "Dizzy" Maloprop (4-0, 3-0 CTC, Underdog: +450) vs. Wallace "All Night Long" Everett (10-2, Favorite: -570)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Ward Maloprop is in this tournament, despite being unranking in the CTC, by virtue of having won the Sunday Night Fights 4 Featherweight Tournament. A great technical boxer, who likes to throw punches in bunches, his lightning fast hands are his most potent weapon, though he has enough wrestling now to at least keep himself out of danger. He defeated Stewart Point by first round TKO, and Olly Whiskerton, and Benny Dukes by Unanimous Decision to win the tournament. Wallace Everett is a rising star in the Featherweight division, a high calibre boxer, with excellent technique, noted particularly for his endurance, going as fast in the third round as in the first. His wrestling and ground game are works in progress, but improving. He is coming off a first round knock out victory over Jackson Gray in XCC.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>CTC Featherweight Championship Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: "The Banker" Frank Romita (13-3, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +160) vs. "The Black Dog" Anthony Ray Shenkman (20-5, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -210)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Frank Romita is one of the most powerful Featherweights, a hard-hitting wrestler whose specialty is tossing his opponents to the floor, and obliterating them with ground and pound. Anthony Ray Shenkman is a talented amateur wrestler, who likes to grappling close up, and in your face, grinding out decisions more often than not. The two men met in their CTC debuts at Sunday Night Fights 4 with Shenkman taking the victroy by Unanimous Decision.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>CTC Season 2 Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: "The Tropical Tornado" Azor Portela Nunes (24-7, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +390) vs. Easton "Small" Frye (16-7, Favorite: -500)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Azor Portela Nunes is a dangerous Muay Thai striker, especially lethal if he can get you in a clinch, he also has leg kicks that are to be feared. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Harvey Ripa in his CTC debut that probably knocked him out of the Championship bracket. Easton Frye is a highly decorated amateur wrestler, who uses his excellent grappling skills to control and wear down opponents. Often dominating his way to decision victories. He is coming off a second round knock out loss to Lamont Banner in XCC.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>CTC Season 2 Featherweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Ned Butterfield (10-1, Favorite: -150) vs. Rafael "Slick" Tavares (16-5, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +110)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Ned Butterfield was XCC Featherweight Champion when he signed with the CTC. Butterfield comes from a Judo background, and is a solid competitor, when he can get in close and grapple with an opponent, or use his submission game on the ground, but his striking is a major weakness. He is coming off a fourth round submission victory over Lucky Lyman that won his the XCC Featherweight Title. Rafael Tavares is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ace, who is dangerous on the ground, and has a fast and accurate striking game as well. He was knocked out of the championship bracket when he underestimated newcomer Chauncey Morin, losing by third round knock out in his last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Fi Johns is a freestyle wrestler, who is a dominating fighter, she loves to get in close and break her opponents mentally as well as physically. She competed in the Sunday Night Fights 2 Womens Lightweight Tournament, winning by first round submission over Laia Leele, before crashing out of the tournament against eventual winner Catherine Newmar by first round knock out. Naora Kikuchi is a dangerous Muay Thai striker, who uses her long legs to pick off opponents with kicks from range. She lost by second round knock out to now retired Seka Mutsu in her last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Womens Bantamweight Bout: Honor "Glory" O'Neill (1-0, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -880) vs. Chante "The Rottweiler" Blais (0-0, Underdog: +700)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Honor O'Neill is a wrestler from Toronto, but little is still known about her, other than that she beat Tammy Westenra by first round TKO in her MMA debut. Chante Blais is a Canadian competitor, from the Freestyle wrestling background, who has decent takedowns, and devastating ground strikes. Her striking is almost non-existant however.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Lightweight Bout: Gardiner "The Eliminator" Durand (1-0, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -380) vs. Owen Oggleberry Pipp (5-4, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +300)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Gardiner Durand is a Canadian fighter, who competed at the national level in Freestyle Wrestling. He has excellent grappling, takedowns, and ground defense. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Varden Barry in his last fight. Owen Oggleberry-Pipp offers some competent striking that can cause problems if taken lightly, but nothing else. He lost by first round submission to Jeffrey Foxworthy in the Quarter-Finals of the Season 1 Lightweight Tournament.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Vinicius Azeredo is a jiu jitsu student. He's good on the ground, but his striking isn't great, and his strategy on the feet is to avoid his opponent, and look for takedown opportunities. He has recently scored two submission victories over local fighters, at local shows. Derrall Lapointe is a high level wrestling competitor, who recently made the conversion to MMA. His striking is non-existant, but he is very good at taking people down, and draping them in smothering top control, to grind out decisions. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Gustave Lefebvre in his last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>CTC Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament Semi-Final Bout: "The Calgary Assassin" Mike Watson (16-1, 2-0 CTC, Favorite: -500) vs. Pedro "Homicide" Sousa (23-5, 1-0 CTC, Underdog: +350)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

This bout has fireworks written all over it, as two brutally effiecient strikers, with a penchant for impressive knock out finishes meet in the cage! Mike Watson surprised everyone in his last fight, earning the first submission win of his long career, as he locked Jerry Bogdonovich in a rear naked choke in the second round to pick up the victory in the quarter-finals. Pedro Sousa on the other hand had his typical kind of fight, knocking Kendall Tracey down with a massive strike, then pounding him out for a brutal first round TKO victory.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-size:24px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#FF0000;">CO-MAIN EVENT</span></span></strong></span></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Light Heavyweight Bout: "The Gladiator" Niko Soldo (19-3-1, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -870) vs. "The Dockland Destroyer" Jerry Bogdonovich (11-1, 1-1 CTC, Underdog: +690)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Niko Soldo is a high level kickboxer, and was a dominant force in European MMA since the beginning of SIGMA. He lost in an upset by first round knock out to Jericho Stewart in the Quarter-Finals of the Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament. Jerry Bogdonovich is a powerful striker, with a strong chin. He lost to Mike Watson in the Quarter-Finals of the Light Heavyweight Championship TOurnament by submission.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>CTC Season 2 Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Gustavo Spagnol (9-1, 1-0 CTC, Underdog: +400) vs. "Blood Spirit" Hyun-Shik Lim (15-3, Favorite: -510)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Gustavo Spagnol is one of the best ground and pounders in the entire world, and his entire fight style revolves around his excellent takedowns, and vicious strikes from on top. He won a Unanimous Decision over Ryuji Ganaha in the Quarter-Finals. Hyun-Shik Lim is a huge named in his home of South Korea. He is a fearsome striker, whose never-say-die attitude and savage attacks make him very popular with the fans. He is a replacement in the tournament for Ken Peters, after he tested positive for TRT after his victory at CTC 15. He was cut from the ALPHA-1 roster after losing by first round TKO to Roberto Aldez in his last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>CTC Season 2 Light Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Jon "Quick" Silvers (13-2, 1-1 CTC, Underdog: +750) vs. "Glorious" Joshua Hope (10-0, 2-0 CTC, Favorite: -950)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Jon Silvers is a tall, lanky striker, who has fast hands, and the power to do damage. He also has a good sprawl, which helps hide his weakness off his back. He defeated Ruben Rua by first round TKO in the Quarter-Finals. Joshua Hope is a great wrestler, a very defensive fighter, he is difficult to take down or submit, has a strong chin, and can use his grappling ability to smother any opponent. He defeated Marcos Maciel by second round Knock Out in the Quarter-Finals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>CTC Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: "The Scourge of Europe" Nicolai Mickiewicz (24-6, Favorite: -490) vs. Jericho Stewart (9-0, 2-0 CTC, Underdog: +390)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Nicolai Mickiewicz is a powerful wrestler in peak physical condition. He is virtually unstoppable due to his granite chin, and excellent ground defense. He has never been finished in his career (30 fights). Mickiewicz is the replacement for Anthony LeToussier, who after defeating MacGregor Dare in the Quarter-Final, decided he was going to take a hiatus of indeterminant length from MMA. Mickiewicz is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Dag Kreuger that won him the SIGMA Light Heavyweight Title. Jericho Stewart is a powerfully built Light Heavyweight, who is a hard puncher, that very few will want to stand with because of his quick hands and knock out power. He scored a huge upset victory in the Quarter-Final Bout with Niko Soldo, knocking out one of the best MMA fighters on the planet, in the first round.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Womens Lightweight Bout: Brooke "The Rock" Rockerfeller (5-5, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +190) vs. Idina Micklewhite (5-1, 2-1 CTC, Favorite: -250)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Brooke Rockerfeller is a decent kickboxer, who is noted for her powerful leg kicks, she also has a surprisingly competent wrestling game for someone with no training in that area. Idina Micklewhite is a Canadian fighter, who has enhanced her existing wrestling background with some solid and improving striking. She made it to the final of the Sunday Night Fights 2 Womens Lightweight Tournament, where she lost by first round TKO to Catherine Newmar.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Light Heavyweight Bout: "The Chunky Monkey" Allen LeFleur (7-1, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -770) vs. Russell "Russell Mania" McPhee (20-10, 0-2 CTC, Underdog: +610)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Originally a wrestler, Allen LeFleur has also done some training in kickboxing and jiu jitsu since debuting in MMA. He is coming off a second round submission loss to Ryuji Ganaha in his last fight. Russell McPhee is a powerhouse, who boasts one of the best bodies in MMA. He is a kickboxing devotee, who likes to stand and bang, and those who try to take him on in that world usually have a rough time, but he is horrible once he's off his feet. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Anthony LeToussier.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Featherweight Bout: Alejandro "Lobo" Laguera (8-0, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -150) vs. Tyler "Black Ops" Aidi (9-0, 1-0 CTC, Underdog: +110)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Alejandro Laguera is one of the best punchers at Featherweight, mixing truly vicious power with excellent technique. An exciting fighter to watch due to his balls to the wall fight style, he will take some stopping. He is coming off a first round TKO victory over Krzysztof Bujnicki in his last fight. Tyler Aidi has been studying BJJ since his teens, and is pretty dangerous on the ground, however his lack of any semblance of a striking game is holding him back. He is coming off a second round submission win over Clint Royle in his last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Womens Flyweight Bout: "The Unpredictable" Phoebe Bergman (9-6, Underdog: +390) vs. Tatjana Vinnick (7-1, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -500)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Phoebe Bergman is a kickboxer known for his unorthodox strikes, she hits hard enough to cause problems for any opponent, but her lack of technique means she can be picked apart by high quality strikers. She is coming off a second round TKO victory over Hazel McClay in her last fight. Tatjana Vinnick is from a Sambo background, a tough opponent who can put her opponent on the mat, and work them over. Her poor stand-up is a weakness. She is coming off a first round submission loss to Kimie Igarashi in her last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Bantamweight Bout: Britt "Sniper Viper" Dickering (7-5, 0-2 CTC, Favorite: -480) vs. Dallin Friedland (6-4, 0-2 CTC, Underdog: +380)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

The loser of this fight will likely be cut from the roster. A fan favorite for his exciting fights, Britt Dickering is a Muay Thai fighter, who favors vicious knee strikes from the Muay Thai clinch. A smooth, precise striker, he lacks the power to be truly lethal. He lost by first round knock out to D'Arcy Spode in his last fight. Dallin Friedland is a striker, with quick hands, and is elusive, but lacks any sort of substantial threat. He lost by first round knock out to Takauji Aida in his last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Featherweight Bout: Roger "Jumpin'" Bean (8-1, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -380) vs. "The Dark Lord" Beau LuPone (7-3, 0-1, Underdog: +300)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Roger Bean is a kickboxer noted for his unorthodox strikes, and excellent conditioning. He is a tough opponent in a stand-up battle, but has issues when tied up by grapplers. Beau LuPone is a kickboxer, he is decent on his feet, with some good kicks in his arsenal, but is let down by an atrocious ground game. He is coming off a second round submission loss to Foggy Lee in his last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

UPDATED TOURNAMENT BRACKETS

 

 

 

 

 

Fallout

 

- Alisha Wood is asked who she'd like to face next, and answers that she thinks a fight with Veronika Sablikova would be a great contest. Since Sablikova has retired this will obviously not happen.

 

- Manoel Cabral is asked who he'd like to fight next, and answers that he would like a fight against Bud Brockett. As champion his first defense will be against Jazz Snide, Bud Brockett would be an interesting challenger if he wins a tournament.

 

- Veronika Sablikova annouces that she will now officially retire from professional competition. She retires undefeated, with a professional record 12-0, with a 3-0 record in the CTC, including a Unanimous Decision victory over Lynda Epsom at CTC Sunday Night Fights 2, a second round TKO victory over Anna Thompson in the Championship Tournament Quarter-Final at Canadian Tournament Combat 16, and a third round TKO victory over Rachel McGuiness in the Semi-Final at Canadian Tournament Combat 22.

 

- Despite having lost her third fight in a row, Anna Thompson will not be released based on the quality of her last fight. She will be given another shot to pick up a win in the CTC.

 

- Veronika Salikova's retirement has thrown something of a wrench in the works of the Womens Lightweight Championship Final. It has been decided that Haley Croft has been declared the winner of the tournament, though no title will be awarded at this time. Croft will face the winner of the Season 2 Womens Lightweight Tournament Final to determine the first Womens Lightweight Champion.

 

- The CTC have announced that Trevion Chymes has been cut from the roster after losing three straight fights. He leaves the CTC with a record of 0-3 with the promotion, including a first round TKO loss to Datsakorn Pratoomwong in the Quarter-Finals of the CTC Sunday Night Fights 1 Light Heavyweight Tournament, a Unanimous Decision loss to Joel Mankin at Canadian Tournament Combat 8, and a second round submission to strikes loss to Dean Capers at Canadian Tournament Combat 22.

 

- The CTC announce that they have recieved the drug test results from Canadian Tournament Combat 20, and Hyun-Shik Lim has tested postive for a performance enhancing substance. Under the CTC's policies on this matter, Hyun-Shik Lim will serve a one year suspension. Lim admitted his mistake, and issued a full public apology, taking full responsibility for his actions, and has pledged to fight "100% clean" from now on.

CTC Announce New Show

 

The CTC have announced that they will begin airing a first season of a show called CTC: Way of the Warrior. This show is a reality TV series, similar in both concept and execution to GAMMA's popular Clash of the Titans series. The first season will be coached by Welterweight competitors Rufus Stephens, newly signed from GAMMA, and Simon Vine, who was a long-standing roster member at ALPHA-1, before coming to the CTC, and recently lost out in the Quarter-Finals of the Welterweight Championship Tournament. This seasons competition will be in the Womens Lightweight Division, as the CTC looks for new fighters to bolster a floudering division. While the Womens Lightweight Division has provided some amazing fights, and is very competitive at the top end, several retirements from key veterans, and demands to move back down to Featherweight have taken their toll on the divisions depth. As well as many of the fighters in the division barely bulking up above Featherweight, with many weighing in at 146 lbs. The CTC are hoping that an infusion of young, and previously undiscovered talent will help to stabilize the division.
