Participants Compete At Lightweight

 

 

 

 

Team Stephens

 

 

 

"Deathwatch" Darcelle Petit

 

 

Age: 22/Height: 5'8"/Style: Mixed Martial Arts/Muay Thai

 

Darcelle Petit has trained in a lot of martial arts, but spreading that training around has left her pretty mediocre in most areas, she could be early tournament fodder if she doesn't improve fast.

 

 

 

Delit "Anger Management" Boucher

 

 

Age: 21/Height: 5'8"/Style: Amateur Wrestling

 

Delit Boucher is a strong wrestler, who is good grappling, but has trouble taking people down, and doesn't really know what to do to finish an opponent once they are on the ground.

 

 

 

Joell "The Missile" Pelletier

 

 

Age: 23/Height: 5'6"/Style: Wrestling

 

Joell Pelletier is a high level wrestler, with great grappling skills, and smothering top control, she can use ground and pound to finish. She has no striking to speak of, but could be one of the front runners in the competition.

 

 

 

"Hammerhead" Kimberly Ross

 

 

Age: 20/Height: 5'8"/Style: Wrestling

 

Kimberly Ross is a wrestler, with strong grappling ability, and ground and pound tactics. She has no technical striking ability, but natural power in her hands.

Maura Barry is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu student, she has some basic submission attacks, and good takedown defense, but her skill set is woefully inadequate in some other areas.

 

 

 

Valere David

 

 

Age: 24/Height: 5'6"/Style: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

 

Valere David is a great planner, and is always well prepared when stepping into the cage, weirdly for a BJJ student her biggest strength are power in her hands, and ground striking, other than that she has no real pluses to speak of.

 

 

 

Yolanda "Jack Rabbit" Bernier

 

 

Age: 23/Height: 5'6"/Style: Mixed Martial Arts/Boxing

 

Yolanda Bernier is a high level boxer, with big power in her fists, and heavy striking on the ground. She is training other areas of her game, but none have come near a decent level.

Fioretta Barry could be the favorite to win this thing. Originally from a wrestling background, she has cross trained extensively. Her main strength however is still in grappling, where her pursuit of constant takedowns, leading to ground and pound tactics allows her to win most fights.

 

 

 

Jocelyn "Tombstone" Vidal

 

 

Age: 18/Height: 5'7"/Style: Muay Thai

 

The youngest fighter in the competition, Jocelyn Vidal is a decent technical striker, though she lacks the power to finish, and will definately have problems if the fight goes to the ground.

Samantha Sachs is a Judoka, whose array of throws and trips are enough to get most opponents to the ground, and she has the submission skills to choke people out once she gets them down. She defeated Gina Dixon by first round submission in the Quarter-Finals. Pamela O'Neil comes from a family of martial artists, and has an enviable spread of skills as a result. She is one of the most well rounded fighters in MMA. She defeated Michelle Addams by first round submission in the Quarter-Finals.

CO-MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

CTC Womens Bantamweight Championship Tournament Semi-Final Bout: Leona "Dizzy" Deschanel (9-0, 2-0 CTC, Underdog +340) vs. "The Arizona Animal" Sarah Vaughan (15-2, 2-0 CTC, Favorite: -430)

 

Leona Deschanel is a ground and pound specialist, who isn't very technical, she just grabs opponents, puts them down, and pounds them out in quick succession. She defeated Rain Richards by second round submission in the Quarter-Finals. Sarah Vaughan is an arch competitor, who seems to improve with every fight. Known for her vicious ground and pound and top quality wrestling, she is definately a tough test for anybody. She defeated Monica Masters by first round submission in the Quarter-Finals.

 

 

 

MAIN CARD

Tomohiro Takeuchi is a fearsome wrestler, with a ability to shut down just about any opponent with his suffocating grappling. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Masahiro Maeno in KDM FC. Snorri Gunnarsson is a high level grappler, who likes to punish people in the clinch, or take them down and pound them into defeat.

She defeated Hisae Asahi by second round submission in the Quarter-Finals. Hester Maclean is a boxer, who was taught by her father, world title contender Harry Maclean, and has some of the best hands in Womens MMA. She defeated Helen Fox by third round TKO in the Quarter-Finals.

Ruth Becker is a fairly good wrestler, who has no objections to standing and slugging it out if necessary, possessing the power in her hands to be a threat. She defeated Tiiu Kass by second round submission in the Quarter-Finals. Sayoko Ebisawa is a legit jiu-jitsu black belt, who has the skill to submit virtually any woman in the world. If she could improve her mediocre stand-up she would be even more of a force. She is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Taniko Uchiyama that won her the KDM FC Womens Featherweight Title. She enters the tournament as an alternate for Marion Reynolds who retired after winning in the Quarter-Finals.

 

 

 

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Middleweight Bout: Ethan "The Terror" Sutton (10-2, 1-1 CTC, Favorite: -930) vs. Wade "The Mantis" LeCavalier (28-18, 0-2 CTC, Underdog: +740)

 

Ethan Sutton is a wrestler, with excellent takedowns, he also has decent boxing skills, though he doesn't have the power to knock people out. He is coming off a third round submission loss to Wederson de Oliveira in the Semi-Final of the Season 1 Middleweight Tournament. Wade Lecavalier comes from a kick boxing background, but his height, and unorthodox style means that he throws his strikes from such odd angles it makes him difficult to defend against. He is coming off a second round submission defeat to Tuck Durdell.

 

 

 

Featherweight Bout: Nuno "The Idol" Valentino (7-0, Favorite: -230) vs. "Scorching" Shuler Eigenberg (12-6, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +180)

 

Nuno Valentino is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he is something of a prodigy when it comes to the ground game, if he can build up his striking to be near as good, he'll be a major threat to any Featherweight in the world. He is coming off a second round submission victory over Milovan Ajetovic in SIGMA. Shuler Eigenberg is a striker, known for his powerful punches, if he gets a chance to land one of his trademark bombs on an opponent, they rarely remain standing. He is coming off a first round knock out loss to Lamont Banner.

 

 

 

Super Heavyweight Bout: "The Silverback" Osser Mallaby (4-3, Favorite: -330) vs. Vasily "Krusher" Klyushev (4-0, Underdog: +260)

 

Osser Mallaby is a stock, powerhouse wrestler, who uses his raw strength and bulk to crush opponents into defeat. He is coming off a second round knock out loss to Yan Hasluck in GAMMA. Vasily Klyushev is a boxer, very powerful, who can stand and bang with anyone. Where he falls down is that he has no cardio, and very little skill at close quarters grappling. He is coming off a first round TKO victory over a local fighter, at a local show in his last fight.

 

 

 

Featherweight Bout: Hans Christian Bloch (7-1, Favorite: -1100) vs. Krzyzstof "The Pole Cat" Bujnicki (8-1, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +870)

 

Hans Christian Bloch is a very good catch wrestler, who looks like he could be a force at Featherweight. Bloch's style is to relentlessly chase takedowns, even if it means taking strikes along the way, knowing that once he gets the opponent down it will be very tough to escape. He is coming off a Split Decision loss to Marco Bernacci in SIGMA. Krzyzstof Bujnicki is a kickboxer, who possesses decent strikes in his arnsenal, and can cause opponents problems with his elusive nature. He needs to work on his grappling and ground game. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Alejandro Laguera.

 

 

 

Womens Lightweight Bout: Kellie "The Gummy Bear" Gumm (1-1, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +230) vs. Marianne Geoffries (1-1, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -300)

 

Kellie Gumm is a Muay Thai fighter, she has good all around striking, and dangerous elbow strikes, that make her difficult to face. She is coming off a third round submission loss to Shaunagh Stoltman in her last fight. Marianne Geoffries comes from a Greco-Roman wrestling background. It's too early to judge her potential, but she does seem confident and physically very strong. She lost a first round TKO to Catherine Newmar in her last fight.

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Bout: Titi Stringer (5-1, 1-1 CTC, Favorite: -840) vs. Samuel "The Animal" Russo (18-14, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +670)

 

Titi Stringer is a high level college wrestler, whose grappling and sheer athleticism are his biggest weapons, and he has picked up some decent boxing skills in a ridiculously short amount of time. He is coming off a second round TKO loss to Cal Hillson in his last fight. Samuel Russo is not a pretty fighter by any sense of the word, but has found some success due to the power in his fists. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Joshua Hope in his last fight.

JJ Reid is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and widely regarded to be one of the most dangerous submission artists at 185 lbs. His striking game is effective rather than dangerous. Reid won the CTC Middleweight Championship Tournament, winning by first round submission over Owen Hyde in the Quarter-Finals, and Bill Brown in the Semi-Finals, before winning by second round submission over Petey Mack to become the first ever CTC Middleweight Champion. He will attempt to make his first defence against Gavin Marshall, who marries an excellent pedigree in amateur wrestling, with dangerously heavy hands to create a fighting style that is hard to deal with. He won the Season 1 Middleweight Tournament, defeating Moe Muschin by third round TKO in the Quarter-Finals, winning against Reed Howlett by first round submission in the Semi-Finals, before winning the Final by third round knock out over Wederson de Oliveira.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Frank Romita is one of the most powerful men at Featherweight, his specialty is throwing opponents to the ground, and pounding them out with vicious ground and pound. He defeated Anthony Ray Shenkman by first round TKO in the Quarter-Finals. Widely considered the best Featherweight in the world, Philip Ziskie has found great success with a combination of high intensity striking, solid freestyle wrestling, and a devastating left hand. He defeated Lars Bohlin by second round knock out in the Quarter-Finals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Sammy Gaffigan is originally a kickboxer, but toured the Far East in his younger days, picking up all the martial arts that he could, leaving him with an enviable set of skills. He won a first round TKO over Harvey Ripa in the Quarter-Finals. Lamont Banner came into MMA with a lot of hype as the son of legendary boxing champion Douglas Banner Jr. He is one of few fighters in the game to boast a truly world class boxing game, and couple that with heavy training in wrestling. He defeated Luiz Machado in a 44 second knock out in the Quarter-Finals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>CTC Season 1 Featherweight Tournament Semi-Final Bout: Chauncey "Whizzer" Morin (2-0, 2-0 CTC, Favorite: -400) vs. Ward "Dizzy" Maloprop (5-0, 4-0 CTC, Underdog: +310)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

One of these tournament underdogs will make it all the way to the Final! A shoot wrestler, Chauncey Morin burst onto the MMA and CTC scene when he took a short notice fight against Jiu Jitsu ace Rafael Tavares at Sunday Night Fights 4, and knocked out Tavares in the third round. He then went on to win by third round submission over Foggy Lee in the Quarter-Finals. Ward Maloprop is a former amateur boxer, who's lightning fast hands are his best attribute. He knows just enough about wrestling to keep himself out of trouble. He entered the tournament by winning the Sunday Night Fights 4 Featherweight Tournament, then blitzed highly favored Wallace Everett by first round TKO in the Quarter-Finals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>CTC Season 1 Featherweight Tournament Semi-Final Bout: Rafael "Slick" Tavares (17-5, 1-1 CTC, Underdog: +260) vs. Easton "Small" Frye (17-7, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -330)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Rafael Tavares is a well-rounded competitor, who mixed very good BJJ skills, with a striking game that is hard to deal with due to his speed and skill. He defeated Ned Butterfield by first round submission in the Quarter-Finals. Easton Frye is a highly decorated amateur wrestler, who uses his excellent grappling skills to control and wear down opponents, grinding out decision victories more often than not. He won a Unanimous Decision over Azor Portela Nunes in the Quarter-Finals</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Heavyweight Bout: Dias Candido (13-6, Favorite: -260) vs. Don "The Rumble King" Norman (25-18, 0-2 CTC, Underdog: +200)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Dias Candido is a brawler, who's punching power has kept him competitive, but his lack of technical ability has always held him back from the upper echelons. He is coming off a third round TKO victory over Helton Nasciemento at a local show. A former amateur boxer, Don Norman is good with his hands, but is almost entirely useless on the ground. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Sylvester Collins in his last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Lightweight Bout: Nik "The Minotaur" Minear (12-6, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -530) vs. Nathan Wyles (1-2, 0-2 CTC, Underdog: +420)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Nik Minear is a pit bull like fighter, who goes after takedowns like a man possessed. He has the grappling skills to dominate from top control, but lacks submissions or strikes to finish. He is coming off a third round knock out loss to Jazz Snide in the Quarter-Finals of the Season 1 Lightweight Tournament. Nathan Wyles is a Londoner, considered one of the best Muay Thai fighters in the UK. His vicious kicks and knees are his main weapons. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Vince Dahl.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Featherweight Bout: Olly "Mister" Whiskerton (2-1, 1-1 CTC, Favorite: -530) vs. "Last Man Standing" Randall Rogers (0-1, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +420)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Olly Whiskerton is still in his rookie year, and comes from a Shaolin Kung Fu background, and has some serious striking skill at his disposal. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Ward Maloprop in his last fight. Randall Rogers is a high level wrestler, who is known for his high intensity, high pressure grappling tactics. He is coming off a first round knock out loss to Deston Grenier in his last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Bantamweight Bout: Ang "Ding" Dong (6-1, 0-1 CTC, Even: -110) vs. Supachai Thamsatchanan (6-0, Even: -110)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Ang Dong is an experienced Judoka, having begun training at the age of 4. His fighting style is based around getting opponents in the clinch, then taking them to the ground, to work his submission skills. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Stiffy Little. Supachai Thamsatchanan is a high quality Shaolin Kung Fu fighter, with an especially deadly array of kicks to destroy opponents. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Suporn Yooyen in KDM FC.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Super Heavyweight Bout: "Wreck 'Em" Terry Shakespeare (4-4, Underdog: +190) vs. Tommy Cowan (1-0, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -250)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Terry Shakespeare is a kickboxer by trade. A competitor on the first season of Clash of the Titans, it was considered an upset when he was beaten in the semi-finals by Irwin Middleton. He was cut by GAMMA after three straight losses. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Graham Goodbody in GAMMA. Tommy Cowan is a big Scotsman who has been successful in many strongman and grappling contests. He's not hugely skilled, though he does known his way around the grappling game, but he has enough natural athleticism, and heart that he can't be taken lightly. He is coming off a first round submission victory over Peter Windsor.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

He defeated Procopio Golias by first round TKO in the Quarter-Finals. Dana Delaney is a former boxer, and has fast and powerful strikes. A former GAMMA title challenger, many questioned his worthiness for his shot against Julio Regueiro, which he lost, but after his first round TKO win over David Allen in the Quarter-Finals, if he were to repeat that performance against Brubaker, no one would doubt his worthiness to fight for the CTC strap.

He defeated Simon Vine by third round submission in the Quarter-Finals.

Welterweight Bout: "Citizen Pain" Will Kane (19-6, Underdog: +270) vs. Evgeni Medtner (26-8, Favorite: -350)

 

Will Kane is a vicious Muay Thai striker, who was once considered one of the best Welterweights in the world. Originally just a Muay Thai fighter, Kane gradually has become a mixed martial artist. His poor form during his time with ALPHA-1 has seen him drop out of the world rankings for the first time in a long time, and he will be looking to bounce back with a fresh start in the CTC. Evegeni Medtner has been one of Europe's best fighters for many years. He is a true all-around fighter, amongst the first in the sport to develope skills in striking, grappling, and ground game. He lost to Alberto Basora by third round submission in a SIGMA Welterweight Title fight in his last fight.

 

 

 

CTC Season 2 Welterweight Tournament Semi-Final Bout: Jonathan "The Locust" Huang (11-1, 1-1 CTC, Favorite: -530) vs. Maxime Giresse (9-0, 2-0 CTC, Underdog: +420)

 

Jonathan Huang is one of the best Jiu-Jitsu competitors not just right now, but of all-time. Before joining the CTC, he fought only rarely in MMA, but has become a full time MMA fighter since. He won by first round submission over Vjekoslav Sarich in the Quarter-Finals. Maxime Giresse comes from a Judo background, and relies heavily ont he trips and throws of the sport to get people to the ground where he can work his submission game. He beat Mando Romero by second round submission in the Quarter-Finals.

Evan Pizzarro is a comes from a Judo background, and uses the trips and throws of the sport to disorientate opponents. He is a good submission artist, and appears to be developing a striking game. He defeated Craig Hulme by Unanimous Decision in the Quarter-Finals. Cooper Richardson was a one-dimensional wrestler, but his association with Halvorsen's improved his game by leaps and bounds, and though he recently moved to Pittsburgh Steel, he is continuing to experience a career resurgence. He defeated Houston George by first round knock out in the Quarter-Finals.

 

 

 

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Middleweight Bout: Reed "Night Crawler" Howlett (8-1, 1-1 CTC, Underdog: +150) vs. Tuck "The Everlasting" Durdell (8-1, 1-1 CTC)

 

Reed Howlett is a boxer, with quick feet and excellent head movement making him a very tough target to hit. He is a quality counter-puncher, making use of his fast hands, but lacks the power to threaten. He is coming off a first round submission loss to Gavin Marshall in the Semi-Finals of the Season 1 Middleweight Tournament. Tuck Durdell is a ground and pound specialist, a solid wrestler, with a powerful shot, he can be viciously effective from on top. He is coming off a second round submission victory over Wade LeCavalier.

 

 

 

Heavyweight Bout: "The Bringer of Pain" Khru Duangjan (18-4, Favorite: -180) vs. "The African Dream" Souleyman Ya Konan (12-3, Underdog: +140)

 

Khru Duangjan is possibly the most violently entertaining Heavyweight in MMA to watch, and is one of the most dangerous strikers in the sport due to his power, speed, and intensity. He also has one of the best chins in MMA, so he is not afraid to stand and strike with anyone. He is on a two fight losing streak, and coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Kanezane Fujii in ALPHA-1 tha ended with him being cut from the roster. If pre-match staredowns ended fighter, Souleymane Ya Konan would be unbeatable. He is a kickboxing champion, with huge power in his punches, but his kicks can do damage too. He is coming off a third round submission loss to Grzegorz Boniek in SIGMA.

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Bout: Renan Heleno (4-0, Favorite: -780) vs. Emerson Mori Nunes (2-0, Underdog: +620)

 

Renan Heleno is a very dangerous submission grappler, with a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and can give pretty much anyone a fight on the ground, but he is a jiu jitsu competitor trying to do MMA, not a mixed martial artist. He is coming off a first round submission victory over Joseph King at a local show. Emerson Mori Nunes is a submission wrestler. He can't really strike, but he is very dangerous on the ground, especially when hunting for armbar finishes. He is coming off a first round submission victory over a local fighter, on a local show.

 

 

 

Womens Bantamweight Bout: Mizuki Watanabe (6-3, Favorite: -240) vs. Romi Takahashi (5-0, Underdog: +190)

 

Mizuki Watanabe is a very solid wrestler, and was the first ever KDM FC Womens champion, though she lost her first defense to Hanako Shimizu, and her career went into a tailspin with three successive losses, though just before leaving KDM FC, she defeated Yutsuko Sasaki by Unanimous Decision. Romi Takahashi is a talented kickboxer, who is known both for her explosive surges, and excellent takedown defence. She is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Yuya Shimizu in KDM FC.

 

 

 

Featherweight Bout: Lei Niu (2-0, Favorite: -200) vs. Garron "The Abyss" Leroy (0-0, Underdog: +150)

 

Lei Niu is a Muay Thai striker who is highly respected competitor, who competed nationally in China. His kicks have power, though his boxing is more technical. He can be devastating from the Muay Thai clinch. He is coming off a first round knock out victory over a local fighter at a local show. Garron Leroy is a Canadian fighter from a Muay Thai background, who has powerful high kicks, and more skilled, technical boxing game.

 

 

 

Bantamweight Bout: "The Mantis" Po-Han Yue (8-3, Favorite: -180) vs. Maurice "Carnage" David (0-0, Underdog: +140)

 

Po-Han Yue is small, and looks like he should be a pushover, but is in face a great striker, who can chop down much larger opponents with his precision leg kicks. He is coming off a third round TKO loss to Apolonio Redondo Jr in KDM FC. Maurice David is an accomplished wrestler, with excellent takedowns, and punishing ground and pound. He also has heavy hands, so he is a threat striking, even if he's not great at it.

Mike Watson is a brutally effective puncher, with massive power, Watson is one of the most dangerous fighters on the feet in the world. His exceptional sprawl helps him to keep the fight in his realm as well. Can Watson become the first to finish Mickiewicz in a long and distinguished career. Watson defeated Jerry Bogdonovich by second round submission in the Quarter-Finals, and won a 5-Round Unanimous Decision war against Pedro Sousa in the Semi-Finals. Nicolai Mickiewicz is a powerful wrestler who is always in peak physical condition. He has never been finished in 31 fights thanks to his excellent chin, and ground defense. He entered the tournament in the Semi-Finals as an alternate to Anthony LeToussier, when LeToussier suddenly decided to go on hiatus, and defeated Jericho Stewart by second round submission in the Semi-Finals. When the ultimate stopper meets the unstoppable, who will prevail?!?</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Joshua Hope is a highly regarded amateur wrestler, a very defensive fighter, he is difficult to takedown or submit, has a good chin, and can use his grappling ability to smother any opponent. He defeated Marcos Maciel by second round knock out in the Quarter-Finals, and Jon Silver by second round submission in the Semi-Finals. Gustavo Spagnol is on of the best ground and pound artists in the world. His tactics revolve almost entirely around his excellent takedowns, and vicious strikes from on top. He's won Unanimous Decision victories over Ryuji Ganaha in the Quarter-Finals and Hyun-Shik Lim in the Semi-Finals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Manoel Cabral is a legit Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, capable of twisting opponents into pretzels with his submission game, and he has decent technical striking, but lacks finishing power on the feet. He defeated Bruce Steven, and his famously glass chin in 56 seconds by TKO to become the first ever CTC Lightweight Champion. A decent all-rounder, Jazz Snide is a controversial figure, known more for his outrageous antics, and arrogant personality than his martial arts skills. He is the winner of the Season 1 Lightweight Tournament, defeating Nik Minear by third round knock out in the Quarter-Finals, and winning a Unanimous Decision over Timmy Dukes in the Semi-Finals, he then won a Unanimous Decision victory over Robbie Lynn in the Final to earn this title shot.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>CTC Season 2 Womens Lightweight Tournament Final Bout: "The Mighty" Alisha Wood (8-3, 2-1 CTC, Favorite: -480) vs. Verona "The Samoan Tank" Joseph (8-2, 1-2 CTC, Underdog: +380)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Alisha Wood is one of the most powerful womens fighters in MMA, and likes to use her power to grapple opponents, and grind them down for decision victories. She defeated Lynda Epsom by first round submission in the Quarter-Finals, and Catherine Newmar by first round submission in the Semi-Finals. Verona Joseph is a strong, powerful, hard-hitting competitor, who loves to take people down and beat them down with ground and pound. When she was knocked out of the Championship Tournament by Haley Croft, she dropped down into the #1 contender tournament as an alternate for the retired Chiyo Yanagimoto, and defeated Anna Thompson by third round TKO in the Semi-Finals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Welterweight Bout: Lucas (26-10-1, Underdog: +100) vs. Dominykas "Slamkovic" Jankovic (14-5, Favorite: -130)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Lucas is a powerhouse grappler, and submission artist, who is very hard to shake once he gets hold of you. He is particularly noted for his guillotine choke, which thanks to his giant biceps will put anyone to sleep. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Konosuke Shirahata in ALPHA-1. Dominykas Jankovic is a top quality grappler, who represented Bulgaria at the Olympics in freestyle wrestling. Quick on his feet, he typically uses movement to keep away from strikes, and burst forward for one of his slick takedowns. He is coming off a first round submission victory over Konstantinos Chorophas at a local show.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Seb Morehead has one of the more impressive physiques in MMA. A decent enough kickboxer, he's no joke in the rest of the fight either. He is coming off a first round knock out loss to Den Bickersteth in the Quarter-Finals of the Super Heavyweight Championship Tournament. Hunter Matuszak is one of the scariest looking fighters around, a gigantic human being who is beyond jacked. Nominally a striker, Matuszak's big weakness is that his massive muscle mass causes him to gas early. Matuszak asked for this fight, so let's see if he can back up his challenge.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Middleweight Bout: "Unstoppable" Eugene McDuff (1-0, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -410) vs. Wederson de Oliveira (9-2, 2-1 CTC, Underdog: +320)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Eugene McDuff was one of the best Judo competitors in all of Scotland before he transitioned to MMA, and has a takedown, and ground game that anyone would fear, able to finish with both submissions, and ground and pound. He has naturally heavy hands, even if he's not the best technical striker. He is coming off a first round knock out victory over Leadre Pelletier. Wederson de Oliveira is a good BJJ fighter, known to be good off his back, and extremely dangerous with the armbars. However, his striking is mediocre at best. He is coming off a third round knock out loss to Gavin Marshall in the Final of the Season 1 Middleweight Tournament.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Womens Lightweight Bout: Haley Lovebond (3-1, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -950) vs. "The Head Hunter" Michele Nadeau (0-1, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +750)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Haley Lovebond is a wrestler. Always in great shape and boasting enviable physical strength, she bullies opponents into submission. She is coming off a first round knock out loss to Idina Micklewhite. Michele Nadeau is an elusive technical striker, from a boxing background she can pick off opponents with technical striking toward points victories. She is coming off a first round submission loss to Berdine Bedard in her last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Heavyweight Bout: "The Flurry From Surrey" Michael Bannon (9-8, Favorite: -550) vs. "Fallen Angel" Vardan Moreau (0-0-1NC, 0-0-1NC CTC, Underdog: +430)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Michael Bannon is a tough opponent for anyone, known for unleashing his trademark machine gun right hands for vicious ground and pound. He lost by first round knock out to Percy Catcher at a local show in his last fight. Vardan Moreau is a Canadian fighter from a wrestling background, he has strong grappling in the clinch, and is in excellent physical condition. He lost to Trace Gauthier in his last fight, but it was converted to a no contest when Gauthier failed a drug test.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Featherweight Bout: Dareau "Scimitar" St. Pierre (1-0, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -190) vs. Clint "Honey Badger" Royle (2-1, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +150)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Dareau St. Pierre is a Canadian fighter from a wrestling background. He has good takedowns, and likes to work from top control, where he can unleash his deadly ground and pound attack. He won a Unanimous Decision over Richie Stiller in his debut. Clint Royle is an old school fighter, whose entire attack revolves around getting top control so he can work towards a submission. He lost by second round submission to Tyler Aidi in his last fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Womens Bantamweight Bout: Yutsuko Sasaki (8-2, Favorite: -120) vs. Saya Ikegami (10-1, Underdog: +100)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Yutsuko Sasaki is a wrestler, who uses her low center of gravity, and powerful legs to make her takedowns hard to resist. Once on the ground she loves to rain down with her fists. She is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Mizuki Watanabe in KDM FC. Saya Ikegami is a karate striker, who likes to use unorthodox strikes, and surprising moves to keep her opponents off balance, and that usually makes for entertaining fights. Widely regarded as one of the best Bantamweights in Japan. She is coming off a first round submission loss to Taniko Uchiyama in a KDM FC Womens Featherweight Title fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Tim Boyer is a tough, old school pit fighter, hard to take on because of his size, reach, and ability to use the clinch to both shut down an opponents offence and cause damage himself. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Mason Archer in the first ever CTC Heavyweight Title Fight. An ultra-tough fighter, Norman Pike learned to fight in the Canadian Armed Forces. Although more than capable of standing and trading, his main strength is on the ground, where his submission skills help him score victories. This fight has been brewing since Pike called Boyer out at CTC 4, let's see if he can back up his claim that he will "destroy" Boyer!

Very powerful, although his main tactic is to obliterate opponents by overpowering them with wrestling, he can also knock them out. He is coming off a first round TKO victory over Don Norman in his last fight. Nate MacReary is a tough opponent, virtually unmovable due to his size, strength, and wrestling skill, once he has hold of you there is no escape.

Heavyweight Bout: John "Doom" Draper (3-0, 2-0 CTC, Favorite: -240) vs. "Boom Boom" Guy Broom (8-1, 1-1 CTC, Underdog: +190)

 

John Draper called for this fight, and will have a handful with his opponent. Draper is originally from a wrestling background, though he's worked hard to make sure he's a good all-rounder. He lacks punching power, but will be a tough test for a lot of fighters. He defeated Nimrod Wickhammersley by second round submission in his last fight. Guy Broom is a wrestler, who's biggest weapon is his size. He got the nickname "Boom Boom" because of the massive bombs he likes to rain down from top control. He is coming off a first round knock out loss to Hanif Hussain in the Semi-Finals of the Season 1 Heavyweight Tournament.

 

 

 

Heavyweight Bout: Chuck "The Laughing Man" Dooley (9-1, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -600) vs. "Longshore" Damien Jones (8-2, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +470)

 

Chuck Dooley is a powerful wrestler, who boasts a fantastic double leg takedown that hits like a locomotive. Dooley excels at putting people on their backs, and destroying them with ground and pound. He is coming off a second round submission loss to Norman Pike in the Quarter-Finals of the Heavyweight Championship Tournament. Damien Jones is a rugged brawler, who boxed at the amateur level, he comes out swinging and never lets up. His tactics may be crude, but they're tough to counter. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Hanif Hussain in the Quarter-Finals of the Season 1 Heavyweight Tournament.

Heavyweight Bout: Pai Cheng (9-1, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -1200) vs. Lachlan "The Thing" Bowen (12-8, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +950)

 

Pai Cheng is a big, powerful wrestler, who's incredible balance allows him to control opponents, and be virtually impervious to takedowns. On top of his grappling he has big raw power in his hands. He lost by second round TKO to Tim Boyer in the Quarter-Finals of the Heavyweight Championship Tournament. Lachlan Bowen is a powerhouse wrestler, he is a tough customer, but lacks the skill to pose too many attacking questions. That said, anybody who takes him lightly is in for a rude awakening. He is coming off a second round submission loss to Nate MacReary in the Quarter-Finals of the Season 1 Heavyweight Tournament.

 

 

 

Heavyweight Bout: Vitor de Melo (8-1, Favorite: -640) vs. Bast Moulke (3-1, 0-1 CTC, Underdog: +510)

 

Vitor de Melo is a physically intimidating Heavyweight from Brazil, who has devastating power in his hands, and isn't shy about using it. As well as his punching power, De Melo has underrated wrestling skills, and vicious ground and pound at his disposal. He is coming off a first round TKO victory over Helton Nascimento at a local show. Bast Moulke is a powerful wrestler, known for his excellent takedowns, and oppressive top control, if he can develope a striking game to make use of his natural power then he will go far. He is coming off a second round knock out loss to Taye Burnett in the Quarter-Finals of the Season 1 Heavyweight Tournament.

 

 

 

Heavyweight Bout: "The Viking" Lars-Gunnar Ekberg (8-1, Favorite: -820) vs. Nimrod "The Tall Guy" Wickhammersley (4-2, 0-2 CTC, Underdog: +650)

 

Lars-Gunnar Ekberg is a good all around fighter from Sweden. After building up his reputation in Europe, Ekberg was a star on the second season of GAMMA's Clash of the Titans, and though he was eliminated early by Sylvester Collins, his trash-talking and swagger made him one of the break out stars from the show. He is coming off a Split Decision victory over Sly Twinge in GAMMA. Nimrod Wickhammersley is a Savate fighter, whose long reach makes him dangerous in a striking battle, but he lacks the power in his hands to be a truly dangerous opponent. He is coming off a second round submission loss to John Draper in his last fight.

 

 

 

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Sunday Night Fights 10 Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Shing Lai (0-1, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -800) vs. "Big Bubba" Bayard Couture (0-0, Underdog: +630)

 

Shing Lai is a massive Chinese fighter from a wrestling background. Noted for having an explosive takedown for a big man, his stock in trade is brutal ground and pound. He is coming off a second round submission loss to John Draper in his last fight. Bayard Couture is a Canadian fighter from a Taekwondo background. He has punching power, but his massively powerful head kicks are his stock in trade. He needs to round out his game, as he can't defend a takedown, or defend on the ground.

Moray McWhirter is an all-rounder, happy to stand and bang, as he is grappling. He also has a great chin, and is an ultra tough human being, and a real problem for anyone. He is coming off a first round knock out over a local fighter at a local show. Roland Leroy competed in wrestling at the National Level in Canada, and is a powerful, and very skilled grappler, with excellent takedowns, and ground and pound. He has power in his hands, but no idea how to strike with it.

 

 

 

Sunday Night Fights 10 Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Aston "The Joker" Merryman (2-0, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -180) vs. Yves "Captain Fantastic" Bouchard (0-0, Underdog: +140)

 

Aston Merryman's bigger than life personality, and jovial attitude are likely to make him a fan favorite wherever he goes. A grappler, Merryman is at his best when he can get up close with opponents and work his submission game. He is coming off a second round submission victory over Gennady Lopatin in his last fight. Yves Bouchard is a highly respected, national level wrestler, he has excellent grappling, coupled with good takedowns, and ground and pound. However, his glass chin is a weakness.

 

 

 

Sunday Night Fights 10 Heavyweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Oldano "Taurus" Kalil (1-1, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -630) vs. "Pure Grit" Ignace Andre (0-0, Underdog: +500)

 

Oldano Kalil is a big grappler, who likes to use his muscle mass and sheer size to bully opponents. He lost by first round submission to Brent Rigger in his last fight.

Heavyweight Bout: Julio "JC" Correa (10-3, 1-1 CTC, Underdog: +240) vs. Taye Burnett (10-1, 1-1 CTC, Favorite: -310)

 

Julio Correa has boxing skilled enough to trouble most opponents, but couples that with under-rated grappling, and the ability to defend himself off his back. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Tim Boyer in the Semi-Finals of the Heavyweight Championship Tournament. Taye Burnett is a collegiate wrestler, with a big reputation. Enormously powerful, and athletic he can at times overwhelm opponents with sheer physicality. He is coming off a third round submission loss to Nate MacReary in the Semi-Finals of the Season 1 Heavyweight Tournament.

 

 

 

Heavyweight Bout: "Houdini" Gard Valentine (1-0, 1-0 CTC, Underdog: +310) vs. Aljur Paras (3-1, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -400)

 

Gard Valentine is a punishing kickboxer, who competed at the national level in Canada, while his boxing is technical, he has massive power in his kicks, and is a match for anyone on his feet. He will need to round out his game however, especially on the ground. He defeated Tearlach Lessard by 29 second TKO in his debut. Aljur Paras is a decent Muay Thai fighter, who likes to stand and bang with opponents. Always in fantastic condition, Paras has the strength, and cardio to outpower, and outlast opponents. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Ted Grace in his last fight.

 

 

 

Heavyweight Bout: "Big Rig" Brent Rigger (1-0, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -550) vs. Rainger "Insane" Pascual (0-0, Underdog: +430)

Ted Grace was a wrestling stand-out in college, a massively powerful grappler, he now brings his strength and size to MMA. A ground and pound specialist, you don't want him on top of you. He defeated Aljur Paras by Unanimous Decision in his last fight. Vince Bartlett was known to compete on the regional circuit in kickboxing. He has spent a year making sure he has a base of skills in all areas, and has even developed a bit of a submission game.

 

 

 

Heavyweight Bout: Kari "The Analyzer" Dubois (0-0, Underdog: +800) vs. "The Bulldozer" Paris Gellar (0-0, Favorite: -1010)

 

Kari Dubois is a kickboxer, who competed at the regional level. He has decent striking, but will likely be badly let down by the rest of his skills, he has big power in his high kicks. Paris Gellar is a Canadian, who has competed regionally in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He has a good ground game, and natural power in his hands, but no idea how to use it.

George Brabazon-Plank is a kickboxer, who is almost guaranteed to be someone people will pay to see fight, primarily because he's very posh, and there's a good chance that his stand and bang style will result in him getting smacked in the face at some point. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Gennady Lopatin. Bayley Michel is a high level Muay Thai fighter, with brutally powerful striking, and devastating knees from the clinch.
