Hassan Fezzik is an MMA legend, considered by most to be the greatest fighter in MMA history. A great grappler thanks to his Sambo background, Fezzik soon added quality striking and submission to make himself versatile and dangerous. He is coming off a first round submission loss to Armen Sarkisian where he lost the ALPHA-1 Heavyweight Title. Tim Boyer is a pit fighter, and is one of the hardest fighters in North America to take on due to his size, massive reach, and ability to use the clinch to both shut down an opponents offence, and do serious damage himself. He made it all the way to the Final of the initail Heavyweight Championship Tournamnet, before losing to Mason Archer in the first ever CTC Heavyweight Title Fight. He is coming off a second round TKO victory over Norman Pike in his last fight.

 

 

 

CO-MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

CTC Lightweight Title Bout: Manoel "Colagem" Cabral © (10-1, 4-0 CTC, Underdog: +320) vs. Naizen Hamacho (16-1, 2-0 CTC, Favorite: -410)

 

Manoel Cabral is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and is a huge threat to anyone in the world on the ground. His striking is technically decent, but lacks the power to make people respect it. He is coming off his first successful title defence, a Unanimous Decision victory over Jazz Snide. Naizen Hamacho is an excellent striker who is noted for his precise, powerful kicks. Even if an opponent gets past his kicks they have to deal with a fighter who has good wrestling, and takedown defence, plus an active clinch game. Hamacho won the 2002 Winter Series Lightweight Tournament, defeating Lukas Mellberg by second round TKO in the Semi-Finals, and won over Georges Nouri by third round knock out in the Final to earn his title shot.

He has great conditioning, and good technical striking. He has the ability to throw devastating elbows from the Muay Thai clinch.

Age: 34/Height: 6'3"/From: Erie, Pennsylvania/Style: Wrestling</p><p> </p><p>

Christopher Sharp is an elite wrestler, who can toss opponents around like rag dolls. He is nominally the favorite to win this tournament, though there are several punishing strikers who could test his glass chin.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Glen McBeam (4-0)</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

Age: 22/Height: 6'4"/From: Glasgow, Scotland/Style: Kick Boxing</p><p> </p><p>

The intimidating Scotsman Glen McBeam is a tall, imposing kickboxer. A dangerous striker, who loves to chop opponents down to size with his devastating leg kicks, he is known for working himself into a frenze before fights and start fast and furiously.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>"Unbreakable" Jamie Barrington (4-0)</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

Age: 19/Height: 6'0"/From: Durham, North Carolina/Style: Wrestling</p><p> </p><p>

Jamie Barrington is a former amateur wrestling stand-out. Little is known about him at this stage of his career, although his powerful shot, and high quality grappling ability should provide a good base for him to be successful.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>"The Destroyer" Libor Pudil (8-2)</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

Age: 26/Height: 6'2"/From: Liberec, Czech Republic/Style: Russian Combat Sambo</p><p> </p><p>

The ultra-muscular Libor Pudil uses his incredible power to bully opponents. His lack of ways to end a fight is an issue as he doesn't have the gas tank to engage in lengthy battles of attrition, as is his pedestrian striking.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>"Iron" Olu Yolo (5-0)</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

Age: 22/Height: 6'0"/From: Nigeria/Style: Judo</p><p> </p><p>

A powerhouse grappler, Olu Yolo uses his background in Judo as his base, tossing around opponents like rag dolls with his mix of technique and raw strength. He has the potential to be something special.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Rogerio Votta (4-0)</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

Age: 21/Height: 6'2"/From: Sao Paulo, Brazil/Style: Muay Thai</p><p> </p><p>

A big Muay Thai fighter, Rogerio Votta is a quality striker, whose combination of power and technique can be hard to withstand. He'll certainly need to improve his wrestling and ground game before he can start tackling the elite in the sport, but he's making a fine start to his career.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Vittorio Pescatelli (6-1)</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

Age: 24/Height: 6'2"/From: Florence, Italy/Style: Wrestling</p><p> </p><p>

A powerful wrestler, Vittorio Pescatelli is extremely tough to deal with once he has a hold of his opponent. Generally his strength is too much to handle, and he will soon have a takedown, and be looking to land some nasty ground and pound.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Darius Best is a competent kickboxer, best known for his time on the second season of GAMMA Clash of the Titans, where he was eliminated by Harv Dennis in the qualifiers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Fletcher "The Drummer" Merman (16-5)</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

Age: 27/Height: 6'0"/From: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil/Style: Kick Boxing</p><p> </p><p>

A striker who is well known for his devastating leg kicks, Giovanni de Matos is a formidable opponent in a striking battle. His ground game is fairly weak however, although he does have the skills to defend himself.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Age: 24/Height: 6'3"/From: Rotterdam, Netherlands/Style: Muay Thai</p><p> </p><p>

A big tough Dutch Muay Thai specialist, Manny Van Post is a powerful striker, who cannot be taken lightly. Note for his vicious kicks, Van Post has also spent enough time learning wrestling, and "anti" Jiu-Jitsu to make sure that even when he's out of his comfort zone, he isn't out of the fight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Mathieu Aumont (3-0)</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

Age: 29/Height: 6'0"/From: Vienna, Austria/Style: Wrestling</p><p> </p><p>

Otto Renner is a wrestler, whose usual gameplan is to get his opponent off his feet and onto his back, then alternate between suffocating top control and raining down ground and pound. He could stand to improve his stand-up.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Friday, Week 3, March 2003

 

 

 

MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

CTC Featherweight Title Bout: "Lightning" Lamont Banner © (14-0, 5-0 CTC, Underdog: +200) vs. "Little Dragon" Li-Kong Ho (25-2, 2-0 CTC, Favorite: +200)

 

Lamont Banner is one of the few MMA fighters that boasts a truly world class boxing game, which allied with heavy training in wrestling makes him a dangerous opponent for anyone. He is coming off his first successful title defence, a first round TKO victory over Ward Maloprop. Li-Kong Ho is a hero in Asia, a simply astonishing submission wrestler, who pulls out holds other fighter don't even know, let alone use in competitive fights. He won the 2002 Winter Series Featherweight Tournament, winning a third round submission victory over Snorri Gunnarsson in the Semi-Finals, and a first round submission victory over Masahiro Maeno in the Finals to earn his title shot.

 

 

 

CO-MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

CTC Season 3 Middleweight Tournament Semi-Final Bout: "The Talented" Sutton Ripley (20-5-1, 3-1 CTC, Even: -110) vs. Bambang Sriyanto (28-10-2, 1-0 CTC, Event: -110)

 

Sutton Ripley has a viciously powerful right hand, and uncanny balance that makes him nearly impossible to take down, meaning he can follow his game plan of keeping the fight on the feet, and looking for an opening to launch a bomb at his opponents head. He defeated Mal Phe Roby by first round TKO in the Quarter-Finals. Bambang Sriyanto is a master of the art of getting in people's faces, throwing them off their game plan, then using his razor sharp elbows, and knees to mess them up. He beat Thorbjorn Rekdal by third round knock out in the Quarter-Finals.

 

 

 

MAIN CARD

 

 

 

CTC Season 3 Middleweight Tournament Semi-Final: "The Mack Attack" Petey Mack (15-6, 4-1 CTC, Favorite: -740) vs. Ashley "The Tiger" Ballard (15-3, 1-0 CTC, Underdog: +590)

 

Petey Mack is a versatile fighter, who is dangerous no matter where the fight goes, with strong striking, and grappling, and an underrated submission game. He defeated Tora Mizwar by second round submission in the Quarter-Finals. Ashley Ballard is a very good kickboxer, who is enormously powerful thanks to his compact, muscular frame. He is a cardio machine, who never seems to tire. He defeated Ramin Rostami by first round knock out in the Quarter-Finals.

 

 

 

CTC Season 3 Womens Featherweight Tournament Semi-Final: Kelly "K.O." Andrews (8-2, 3-1, Underdog: +150) vs. "The Spectre" Regina de Avila (5-0, 3-0 CTC, Favorite: -190)

 

Kelly Andrews is a competent Muay Thai fighter, who uses her height, reach, and razor sharp elbows to take apart opponents. She knocked out Kit Sakamoto in the first round in the Quarter-Finals. Regina de Avila is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu artist, known for being great off her back. Her submission threat from there is great, and her sweeps nearly impossible to stop. She defeated Annika Sjolin by first round submission in the Quarter-Finals.

 

 

 

CTC Season 3 Womens Featherweight Tournament Semi-Final: Janey McDwyre (5-1, 4-1 CTC, Even: -110) vs. "Quick Silver" Anna Thompson (9-5, 2-3 CTC, Even: -110)

 

Janey McDwyre is a fighter from a Judo background. Her main threat is on the ground where her submission holds are more than enough to cause most fighters trouble, but her lack of striking will have to be improved. She defeated Kirsten Page by first round submission in the Quarter-Finals. Anna Thompson is one of the tallest female fighters around, and uses her reach advantage to batter opponents in the striking game. She is especially known for her great leg kicks. She defeated Maricel Punya by Unanimous Decision in the Quarter-Finals.

 

 

 

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Heavyweight Bout: "The Viking" Lars-Gunnar Ekberg (10-1, 2-0 CTC, Favorite: -350) vs. Pai Cheng (10-1, 1-1 CTC, Underdog: +270)

 

Lars-Gunnar Ekberg is an all-rounder from Sweden, who came to prominence as a fan favorite on GAMMA's Clash of the Titans. He has crisp, powerful striking, and strong defence and attack on the ground as well. He is coming off a first round submission victory over Dias Candido in his last fight. Pai Cheng is a big, powerful wrestler, and a very good one at that. Cheng's exceptional balance allows him to control opponents and be virtually impervious to takedowns. On top of that he has heavy hands, and so is a threat on the feet as well. He is coming off a first round knock out victory over Lachlan Bowen in his last fight.

 

 

 

Womens Flyweight Bout: Leslie Myers (8-3, 2-2 CTC, Even: -110) vs. "The Blonde Bombshell" April Watson (8-4, 2-1 CTC, Even: -110)

 

Leslie Myers is a high level Jiu-Jitsu player, who can tie opponents in knots with her submissions. She is coming off a first round knock out loss to Daniela Sadorra in her last fight. April Watson is a Muay Thai striker, with crisp, powerful kicks, and some ability from the clinch as well. She is coming off a Unanimous Decision loss to Rennaya Rives in the Final of the 2002 Winter Series Womens Flyweight Tournament.

 

 

 

Bantamweight Bout: Alongkorn Phuk-hom (12-3, Underdog: +430) vs. Stefan "Stealth Ninja" Champion (9-3, Favorite: -540)

 

Alongkorn Phuk-hom is a solid Taekwondo fighter, he can be a tough opponent to face, but his glass jaw is a fairly well known weakness. He is coming off a third round knock out loss to Ronnarit Mamanee in KDM FC. Stefan Champion is a Jiu-Jitsu student, who can cause opponents a lot of discomfort on the ground if underestimated. He is elusive on his feet, but has no power behind his strikes, and so offers little in a striking battle. He is coming off a Unanimous Decision victory over a local fighter at a local show.

 

 

 

Middleweight Bout: "The Arizona Strangler" Hunter Scribbins (9-0, 1-0 CTC, Favorite: -280) vs. Reggie "The Rock Star Pirate" Barbera (5-0, 1-0 CTC, Underdog: +220)

 

Hunter Scribbins is a wrestler, noted for his excellent takedowns, that are very hard to avoid. He has improving striking, but is known for his guillotine choke, from which his nickname comes. He is coming off a first round submission victory over Mariusz Nowak in his last fight. Reggie Barbera is a very good wrestler, and has also learned to use his long reach and potent jab to control fights at range. He is coming off a first round submission victory over Rust Roux in his last fight.

 

 

 

Womens Bantamweight Bout: Jennie "Bad Girl" Gill (7-3, Even: -140) vs. "The Rotterdam Rock" Stella Massey (10-3, 0-2 CTC, Even: -140)

 

Jennie Gill is an energetic kickboxer, who can cause problems for opponents as long as the fight remains standing, but is extremely vulnerable on the ground or in a clinch. She is coming off a first round knock out victory over Simone King in WEFF. Stella Massey is a wrestler, who likes to slam her opponent to the ground before unleashing a hail of punches and elbows. She is coming off a first round TKO loss to Maya Komagata in her last fight.

 

 

 

Featherweight Bout: Tyler "Black Ops" Aidi (10-1, 2-1 CTC, Favorite: -1170) vs. Lothar Marks (1-2, 0-2 CTC, Underdog: +930)

 

Tyler Aidi is an intense fighter, who is a student of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He is extremely dangerous on the ground, but has no striking game. He is coming off a second round submission victory over Louie Sullivan in his last fight. Lothar Marks is a kickboxer, small but explosive, Marks is known for his thudding kicks, especially to the legs and ribs, which can wear down an opponent. He is coming off a third round TKO loss to Marvin Crews in his last fight.
