Irving Braun is a ground and pound specialist, who makes up in power what he lacks in height. His vicious ground and pound will end most fights, but his problem is getting the fight to the ground in the first place. He is coming off a first round TKO victory over Gerrard Kneeling in BCF.

He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Wink Deschanel in GAMMA.

Lamont Banner is one of the few MMA fighters with a truly world class boxing game, which allied with heavy training in wrestling, will make him a tough opponent for anyone.

He won the Season 2 Featherweight Tournament, with a first round TKO victory over Wallace Everett in the Quarter-Finals, a Unanimous Decision victory over Chauncey Morin in the Semi-Finals, and a second round TKO victory over Easton Frye in the Final to earn his title shot.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Bobby Brubaker is a Taekwondo striker, who based on the number of knock out he has, probably has dynamite in his left hand. He is coming off a second round knock out victory over Evan Gardner that saw him become the first ever CTC Welterweight Champion. Jonathan Huang is one of the greatest Jiu-Jitsu competitors of all time, and, apart from his loss to Brubaker at Sunday Night Fights 6, has a spotless MMA record. He won the Season 2 Welterweight Tournament, earning first round submission victories over Vjekoslav Sarich in the Quarter-Finals, and Maxime Giresse in the Semi-Finals, and defeating Evan Pizzarro by third round submission in the Final to earn his chance at the title.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Niko Soldo is a high level kickboxer, who has the excellent striking you'd expect from a kickboxer, but has also shown himself to be adept at grappling, and even has some submission victories to his name. He defeated Pedro Sousa by first round TKO in the Semi-Finals. Matti Kurri is a takedown specialist, who garnered his nickname from the violent barrages of strikes that make up his deadly fight-ending ground and pound. He defeated Stephan De Winter by first round submission in the Semi-Finals. Soldo vs. Kurri was a HUGE rivalry in Europe, with three high quality, entertaining fights. Kurri was the only man to beat Soldo in SIGMA when he won their first fight by fourth round TKO, but Soldo bounced back hard, with two decisive knock out victories. Can Kurri even the score again, or will this classic rivalry be well and truly put to bed.

CTC Sunday Night Fights 13

 

 

 

Sunday, Week 1, January 2003

 

 

 

MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Bout: "The Calgary Assassin" Mike Watson (17-2, 3-1 CTC, Favorite: -300) vs. Aleksei "Fists of Death" Chekhov (24-5, Underdog: +250)

 

Mike Watson is a brutally effective puncher, who is as dangerous on the feet as anyone in the sport, often knocking out opponents with punches they never even saw coming. The Canadian isn't great off his back, but his exceptional sprawl and balance make him hard to take down anyway. He has not fought since losing a Unanimous Decision to Nicolai Mickiewicz in the first ever CTC Light Heavyweight Title Fight. Aleksei Chekhov is not a subtle fighter, he likes to stand and bang, and has very little time for finesse. Thanks to his fantastic takedown defence, which forces most people to engage with him, he has been very successful with that strategy. He is coming off a first round TKO victory over Eisaku Nozaki in ALPHA-1 in his last fight.

 

 

 

CO-MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Bout: Affonso "The Cyborg" Villar (27-4, Even: -110) vs. "The Bad Element" Curt Kitson (15-3, Even: -110)

 

Affonso Villar is one of the most destructive forces at Light Heavyweight. A vicious Muay Thai striker, with explosive power, and lightning fast reactions. Devastating in the pocket, Villar has also shown good takedown defence, that means most opponents have little option but to strike with him. He is coming off a first round knock out loss to Rafael Van Der Moot in ALPHA-1. Curt Kitson is an extremely tough and versatile fighter, who is one of the best fighters to have come out of the UK. Although a good amateur boxer, Kitson's main weapon is actually his Judo, not only has it given him highly advanced grappling skills, but he has successfully adapted it to make him very dangerous on the ground. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Tadamasa Yamada in ALPHA-1.

 

 

 

MAIN CARD

 

 

 

Finals of the CTC Sunday Night Fights 13 Light Heavyweight Tournament

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Bout: Jericho Stewart (9-1, 2-1 CTC, Favorite: -240) vs. Markku "Cyber-Wolf" Mikkola (8-1, Underdog: +190)

 

One of the most powerfully built Light Heavyweight's, Jericho Stewart is a hard puncher, who had a fine career in amateur boxing. Very few people will want to stand with him due to his quick hands and knock out power, but taking him off his feet can be a tough task with his good sprawl, and great physical strength while grappling. Stewart shocked the MMA world with a flash knock out of highly favored Niko Soldo in the Quarter-Finals of the Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament, before losing to eventual winner Nicolai Mickiewicz by second round submission in the Semi-Finals. Markku Mikkola is a fine wrestler, who can be tough to deal with when grappling, and is very good at getting top control, and beating people up with ground and pound. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Makhak Kirakosyan in SIGMA.

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Bout: Kendall "The Gambler" Tracey (12-4, 1-1 CTC, Favorite: -280) vs. "The Midnight Killer" Emil Karlsson (8-0, Underdog: +220)

 

Kendall Tracey is a threat from anywhere, he can grapple, box, or use submissions from the ground. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Pedro Sousa in the Quarter-Finals of the Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament. Emil Karlsson is physically intimidating, and enormously powerful, and likes to use that to his advantage by taking the fight to his opponents, and destroying them early. His striking is dangerous due to his natural power, and his grappling is under-rated. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Otto Witzke in SIGMA.

Semi-Final of the CTC Sunday Night Fights 13 Light Heavyweight Tournament

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Bout: Dag "The Viking" Kreuger (9-1, Favorite: -810) vs. Marcos Maciel (7-3, 0-2 CTC, Underdog: +640)

 

Dag Kreuger is a wrestler that uses his excellent takedowns to set up fight-ending ground an pound. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Nicolai Mickiewicz in SIGMA. Marcos Maciel is a high quality kickboxer, who combines great technique, and power. His ground game is nothing to write home about, but he has such a wonderful sprawl, that few get to test him on it.

Light Heavyweight Bout: "The Roughneck" Cal Hillson (8-2, 2-2 CTC, Favorite: -760) vs. Samuel "The Animal" Russo (18-15, 0-2 CTC, Underdog: +200)

 

Cal Hillson is a rugged brawler, whose iron chin, and ability to withstand punishment, allows him the luxury of getting in close, and swinging for the fences. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Datsakorn Pratoomwong in his last fight. Samuel Russo is not a very pretty fighter, but has found some success due to the power in his fists. He is coming off a first round submission loss to Titi Stringer in his last fight.

 

 

 

Light Heavyweight Bout: Titi Stringer (6-1, 2-1 CTC, Favorite: -880) vs. "Menacin'" Davin Richard (1-0, 1-0 CTC, Underdog: +700)

 

Titi Stringer is a high level college wrestler, whose grappling and sheer athleticism are his biggest weapons, and he has picked up some solid boxing skills in a ridiculously short amount of time as well. He is coming off a first round submission victory over Samuel Russo in his last fight. Davin Richard is a Canadian fighter from a boxing background, that competed regionally, and cross-trained before his debut. He is coming off a first round TKO victory over Sevrin Lavoie in his last fight.

Canadian Tournament Combat 40

 

 

 

Friday, Week 3, January 2003

 

 

 

MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

CTC Bantamweight Title Bout: "One Minute" Ollie Rockmetteller © (12-0-1, 4-0 CTC, Underdog: +120) vs. Brian "Barrage" Claremont (15-4, 5-1 CTC, Favorite: -160)

 

Ollie Rockemetteller is a quality striker, known for his quick demolition jobs, his nickname "One Minute" coming from the fact that he demolished each of his first four opponents in under one minute. He is coming off his first successful title defence, a first round knock out of Markus Waller. Brian Claremont is a power puncher, who always comes forward, pressing the fight, and swinging bombs from the first bell till his opponent is knocked out. Since losing to Rockmetteller in the first ever CTC Bantamweight Title fight, Claremont has won three fights against the class of the division, knocking out Roddy Wickham at Sunday Night Fights 9, and winning the 2002 Winter Series Bantamweight Tournament with TKO victories over Zach Steggles, and Sophan Sastrowardoya.

 

 

 

CO-MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

2002 Winter Series Womens Bantamweight Tournament Final Bout: Leona "Dizzy" Deschanel (10-1, 3-1 CTC, Favorite: -730) vs. Hanae Maehata (9-2, 2-0 CTC, Underdog: +580)

 

Leona Deschanel is a ground and pound specialist, not a highly technical fighter she likes to grab her oppponent, put them down, and pound them out, all in quick succession. She defeated Michelle Addams by third round submission in the Semi-Finals. Hanae Maehata is a tough striker, from a Taekwondo background, who likes to use her big kicks to batter opponents from range. She pulled off a massive upset, winning by first round TKO over Samantha Sachs in her last fight, can she pull off another?

 

 

 

MAIN CARD

 

 

 

CTC Season 3 Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Final Bout: Markus Waller (8-1, 3-1 CTC, Favorite: -480) vs. Zach "Beatdown" Steggles (13-2, 1-1 CTC, Underdog: +380)

 

Markus Waller is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and one of the most dangerous Bantamweights on the ground, especially off his back. He is coming off a first round knock out loss to Ollie Rockmetteller in his unsuccessful title challenge. Zach Steggles is a Muay Thai striker, known as one of the most vicious Bantamweight fighters on the earth, with elbows that are just plain nasty. He is coming off a second round TKO loss to Brian Claremont in the Semi-Finals of the 2002 Winter Series Bantamweight Tournament.

Womens Lightweight Bout: Way Of The Warrior Final Bout: Fioretta "Cannon" Barry (0-0, Favorite: -160) vs. Yolanda "Jack Rabbit" Bernier (0-0, Underdog: +120)

 

Fioretta Barry was highly touted coming into the show, and has lived up to expectations, with submission victories over Valere David, and Darcelle Petit, and a Unanimous Decision victory over Maura Barry. She comes from a wrestling background, and though her grappling is still her main strength, she also has decent striking, but still prefers to put opponents down, and work her ground and pound, or submissions for the finish. Yolanda Bernier comes from a high level boxing background, and has defeated high level competition within the house, with TKO victories over Maelynn Bernard and Joell Pelletier, and a knock out victory over Kari Gagnon. All three of her opponents were signed by the CTC despite losing out in the house, showing the high level of competition she beat to get here.

She was a competitor on Way of the Warrior, though she lost in the qualifiers to finalist Yolanda Bernier. Valeraine Levesque is a Canadian fighter from a wrestling background. She likes to use takedowns, to work ground and pound. She also has some amazing sweeps. She is coming off a Split Decision loss to Laia Leele.

 

 

 

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Super Heavyweight Bout: Wally "The Giant" Bryant (7-0, Favorite: -480) vs. Davey Rushton (5-4, Underdog: +380)

 

Wally Bryant's huge gut makes him not look much like a pro fighter, and though his cardio and mobility are clearly a joke, he has a chin that is made of granite, packs a lot of power in his punches, and is so large he is difficult to grapple with. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Bruno Doman in GAMMA. Davey Rushton is a very good boxer, whose precise, powerful striking allowed him to plow through the first season of GAMMA Clash of the Titans, and he started off his GAMMA career well, but his one dimensional fighting was exposed a bit as he stepped up in competition, and he was eventually cut from the roster. He is coming off a first round TKO loss to Eric Hughes in GAMMA.

 

 

 

Womens Bantamweight Bout: KT "The Flash" McManamara (3-1, 1-1 CTC, Favorite: -570) vs. Yoko Kobayashi (7-3, Underdog: +450)

 

KT McManamara is a Canadian fighter, known as "The Flash" because of the speed at which she moves and strikes, her kicks in particular are lightning-fast and almost impossible to see coming. She is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Leonore Lefevre in her last fight. Yoko Kobayashi is a karate striker, who can hold her own when it comes to striking, but she is dire in most other aspects of MMA. She is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Setsuko Henmi in WEFF.

 

 

 

Middleweight Bout: Gavin "The Lawman" Marshall (10-1, 3-1 CTC, Favorite: -250) vs. Tetsuji "Rampage" Myojin (11-0, Underdog: +190)

 

Gavin Marshall marries an excellent pedigree in amateur wrestling, with dangerously heavy hands to create a style that is hard to deal with. He is coming off an unsuccessful title challenge against JJ Reid, where he lost by first round submission. Tetsuji Myojin is a good all arounder, his biggest problem is that he is a jack of all trades, but master of none. If he could add more deadly striking or submissions to his arsenal he would be really tough to beat. He is coming off a second round submission victory over Hiroshige Shiga in ALPHA-1.

 

 

 

Womens Featherweight Bout: "The Huntress" Amedee Robert (1-1, 1-1 CTC, Favorite: -110) vs. Eiko Shiokawa (6-2, 0-2 CTC, Underdog: +100)

 

Amedee Robert is a Canadian fighter from a wrestling background, who can take people down, get on top, and open up with strikes. She is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Anna Thompson in her last fight. Eiko Shiokawa is a decent Jiu-Jitsu opponent, she is a dangerous fighter once the fight goes to the ground, but can have some trouble getting the fight there. She is coming off a first round TKO loss to Alyson Arroway in the Semi-Finals of the 2002 Winter Series Womens Featherweight Tournament.

 

 

 

Featherweight Bout: "The Dutch Master" Gerrit Dudok (9-2, 0-1 CTC, Favorite: -320) vs. Clint "Honey Badger" Royle (2-2, 0-2 CTC, Underdog: +250)

Clint Royle is a grappler, whose game plan revolves around getting top control over an opponent so that he can work towards a submission. He is particularly known for his leglocks. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Dareau St. Pierre in his last fight.

 

 

 

Womens Flyweight Bout: Nicola Tyler (6-6, Underdog: +150) vs. Joan Whitehouse (8-1, Favorite: -200)

 

Nicola Tyler is a decent wrestler, who lacks the ability to finish opponents, but can rack up points toward a decision victory with her grappling, and ground control. She is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over Charlotte DiSerra in her last fight. Joan Whitehouse is a striker, who can stand and trade with most people, but has little else to offer. She is coming off a third round TKO victory over Alyssa Taylor in her last fight.

Announcement: Season 2 Coming Soon

 

The CTC has announced that a second season of CTC: Way of the Warrior is on the way. It will air Wednesday nights beginning in March. The coaches will be Light Heavyweights Mike Watson, and Marlon John. And unlike the first season, where the aim was solely to find some fresh, young fighters for the Womens Lightweight Division. There will be a vast difference in the skill and experience levels of the competitors, who will be Heavyweights. Rumours that GAMMA veteran Christopher Sharp could compete on the show, after he was cut from the GAMMA roster, his career on it's last legs perhaps? Or could he earn a rejuvenation through the show? Others rumoured to be on the show, include European fighters, Libor Pudil, and Otto Renner, and veteran of the American regional scene, Fletcher Merman. Joining them will be some of the best young Heavyweight prospects from around the world.
