Alexander Volkov is a devastating striker, with a dazzling array of unorthodox kicks and punches. A master of several forms of Karate, he also has great takedown, and submission defence. He knocked out Mike Hackert in the opening round, and Cyril Asker in the Championship Second Round, then won a Unanimous Decision over Sergey Spivak in the Championship Quarter-Finals, before losing a Unanimous Decision to Denis Goltsov in the Championship Semi-Finals, he knocked out Evgeny Goncharov in just 40 seconds in the #1 Contender Quarter-Finals. Sergey Spivak is a high level combat Sambo fighter, with huge power in his punches and kicks, and overpowering wrestling and takedowns, and can finish with both brutal striking, or slick submissions on the ground. He was a late entrant in the Grand Prix, submitting Rico Verhoeven in the Championship Second Round, before losing a Unanimous Decision to Alexander Volkov in the Championship Quarter-Finals, he submitted Justin Tafa in the #1 Contender Fourth Round, and won by TKO over Anthony Johnson in the #1 Contender Fifth Round, and Arjan Bhullar in the #1 Contender Quarter-Finals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-size:24px;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">CO-MAIN EVENT</span></strong></span></span></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Strawweight #1 Contender Grand Prix Semi-Final Bout: Joseph "The Beefcake" Benavidez (33-9, 5-1 CTC, CTC Rank: #2, Favorite: -780) vs. Ryo Hatta (17-7, 4-1 CTC, CTC Rank: #6, Underdog: +620)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> Joseph Benavidez is a "Joe-Jitsu" fighter, with excellent technical striking, and good power, he also has strong takedowns, and a devastating submission attack while controlling from on top. He knocked out Ryohei Kurosawa in the opening round, then submitted Mikihito Yamagami in the Championship Second Round, before being submitted by Ludovico Carignan in the Championship Quarter-Finals, he won by TKO over Yosuke Saruta in the #1 Contender Fourth Round, then knocked out Yoshitaka Naito in the #1 Contender Fifth Round, and Tatsuya So in the #1 Contender Quarter-Finals. Ryo Hatta is a Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and while his striking is mediocre, he likes to jump guard, and the fight is his on the ground, with a good positional ground game, and deadly submission at his disposal. He also likes to use rubber guard. He won Unanimous Decisions over Adam Antolin in the opening round, and Joshua Pacio in the Championship Second Round, then submitted Roldan Sangcha'an in the Championship Quarter-Finals, before losing a Unanimous Decision to Jussier da Silva in the Championship Semi-Finals, he submitted Azam Gaforov in the #1 Contender Quarter-Finals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">MAIN CARD</span></strong></span></span></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Womens Strawweight #1 Contender Grand Prix Semi-Final Bout: Svetlana "Phoenix" Gotsyk (19-5, 6-1 CTC, CTC Rank: #12, Favorite: -260) vs. Nadia "187" Kassem (9-3, 4-1 CTC, CTC Rank: #15, Underdog: +200)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> Svetlana Gotsyk is primarily a grappler, with a strong top game, and stiff ground and pound, but her wrestling is limited to the point where she has to pull guard to get fights to the ground, where she can work a strong submission game. She was knocked out by Lupita Godinez in the opening round, then submitted Natalia Denisova in the #1 Contender First Round, knocked out Karolina Kowalkiewicz in the #1 Contender Second Round, then submitted Stephanie Eggink in the #1 Contender Third Round, Cortney Casey in the #1 Contender Fourth Round, Isabella de Padua in the #1 Contender Fifth Round, and Randa Markos in the #1 Contender Quarter-Finals. Nadia Kassem is a wrecking ball of strikes. Her stand up game is tight and she shows good power, she has good takedown defence, but can be vulnerable if the fight goes to the ground. She won by TKO over Jessica Aguilar in the opening round, then won a Unanimous Decision over Lupita Godinez in the Championship Second Round, then won by TKO over Montserrat Ruiz in the Championship Quarter-Finals, before being submitted by Rose Namajunas in the Championship Semi-Finals, she then knocked out Tecia Torres in the #1 Contender Quarter-Finals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Featherweight Bout: Brian "T-City" Ortega (17-1-1NC, 2-0 CTC, CTC Rank: #2, Favorite: -660) vs. "Lil' Heathen" Jeremy Stephens (31-19-1NC, 0-0 CTC, CTC Rank: #3, Underdog: +520)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> Over the years, Brian Ortega has morphed from a submission threat to an elite well-rounded fighter. His guard and submission game are deadly, and he possess good sweeps and scrambles, and while his kick boxing game isn't especially sharp, he has good power. He is coming off a submission victory over Bubba Jenkins in his last fight. Jeremy Stephens is a well-rounded competitor, with power in his fists, and a decent kicking game, he also has strong wrestling and takedowns, and can rain down brutal ground and pound from top position. He is coming off a fourth round knock out victory over Aaron Phillips at a local show.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Middleweight #1 Contender Grand Prix Semi-Final Bout: Rodolfo "The Black Belt Hunter" Vieira (10-0, 1-0 CTC, CTC Rank: #2, Favorite: -420) vs. Marc-Andre "Power Bar" Barriault (17-5, 5-1 CTC, CTC Rank: #8, Underdog: +330)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> Rodolfo Vieira is a world class Jiu-Jitsu black belt. He's not exactly imposing in the stand-up, but if the fight gets to the ground, there are few that can roll with him. Highly regarded for his guard passing skills, his submissions are as deadly as they come. He was a very late entrant in the Grand Prix, submitting Brett Cooper in the #1 Contender Quarter-Finals. Marc-Andre Barriault is primarily a striker, with absolutely devastating one punch knock out power in his hands. He is known for escaping opponents on the ground and his ground game basically revolves around finding a way to escape submissions and get to his feet. He knocked out Steve Bosse in the opening round, then won by TKO over Mariusz Ksiazkiewicz in the Championship Second Round, before being submitted by Nick Diaz in the Championship Quarter-Finals.

CageRage Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 MAIN EVENT Womens Bantamweight #1 Contender Final Bout: Marina Mokhnatkina (10-3, 6-1 CTC, CTC Rank: #8, Favorite: -360) vs. "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey (16-3, 4-1 CTC, CTC Rank: #15, Underdog: +280) A rematch of the Quarter-Final Bout where an extremely boring grapplefest ended with a Unanimous Decision victory over 30 minutes by Ronda Rousey. Marina Mokhnatkina is a grappler, coming from a background in the Russian art of Combat Sambo, she possesses little finishing threat on the feet, but her submission game is deadly, and her wrestling overpowering. She submitted Ediane Gomes in the opening round, and Irina Degtyareva in the Championship Second Round, before losing to Rousey in the Quarter-Finals, she submitted Kelly Faszholz in the #1 Contender Fourth Round, and surging rookie Patrizia Lausier in the #1 Contender Fifth Round, then won Unanimous Decisions over Sy Jewett in the #1 Contender Quarter-Final, and Sarah Moras in the #1 Contender Semi-Finals. Ronda Rousey was a dominating force in the early days of the UFC's Womens Division, the only American ever to medal in the sport of Judo at the Olympics, her trips and throws, and devastating armbar finishes putting down even the toughest opponents. Her chin was exposed however, her three losses all coming by knock out. She submitted Martyna Czech in the opening round, and Faith McMah in the Championship Second Round, picked up a Decision victory over Mokhnatkina in the Quarter-Finals, submitted Sarah Moras in the Championship Semi-Final, before losing by knock out just 52 seconds into the first ever CTC Womens Bantamweight Title fight to Aspen Ladd.

She has done a good job of that, as both her CTC losses have coming by knock out in high octane striking battles with fellow kickboxer Leah Letson, she is coming off the second of these losses, breaking a two fight win streak. Jozette Cotton makes her CTC debut after signing from the PFL. She is a good striker, with power in her hands, and good takedown defence. She is coming off a first round TKO victory over Bianca Baber in PFL. This fight promises to be an explosive striking battle!

He entered the tournament as a late injury replacement, winning by TKO over Nate Diaz in the Championship Second Round, winning a Unanimous Decision over Ryan Ford in the Championship Quarter-Finals, and winning by TKO over Matt Dwyer in the Championship Semi-Finals, before being submitted in Rory MacDonald in the first ever CTC Welterweight Title fight. Light Heavyweight #1 Contender Final Bout: Anthony "Lionheart" Smith (36-19, 2-1 CTC, CTC Rank: #7, Underdog: +260) vs. Marcel "Maozinha" Fortuna (14-4, 5-1 CTC, CTC Rank: #15, Favorite: -330) Anthony Smith is a good all around fighter, he has good technique in his striking, and backs it up with power in his fists, and a good wrestling game, he also has a well rounded ground game in both defence and attack.

He submitted Sylvester Chipfumbu in the opening round, Rambaa Somdet in the Championship Second Round, Rodrigo Lima in the Championship Quarter-Finals, and Tagir Ulanbekov in the Championship Semi-Finals, before losing by submission to Bruno Azevedo in the first ever CTC Flyweight Title Fight. Ronaldo Candido is a mediocre striker at best, but his overpowering wrestling, great defensive and positional jiu-jitsu, and devastating submission game make him a threat to win any fight on the ground.

She has good control from the Muay Thai clinch, and can hurt opponents with elbows and knees from that position.

She won Unanimous Decisions over Jillian DeCoursey in the opening round, Ashley Cummins in the Championship Second Round, Mina Kurobe in the Championship Quarter-Finals, and Kyra Batara in the Championship Semi-Finals, before being submitted by Ayaka Hamasaki in the first ever CTC Womens Atomweight Title fight.
