STRIKEFIRST: Changing of the Guard

December 2001

BREAKING: BCF - McSweegan vs McFadden II Confirmed As The Final BCF Show!

In a press conference held early on Monday morning, BCF CEO Charlie Knight sat down with the media to announce that British Cage Fighting was undergoing a rebrand come 2002. The reasoning given? Mounting political pressure. With BCF now putting their Best of the British shows on UKB Digital, several MPs raised concerns at the term "cagefighting" in particular being put on PPV and on a UK broadcaster's streaming service. Deciding to do away with the a name that reflects the earlier, less refined era of the sport to a more sleek name.

The new name for BCF will be STRIKEFIRST, with all the BCF lineage and history staying the same, just the belts and branding recieving a name change. The fights will also be held in a new hexagon ring instead of a cage, hoping the new ring will give an air of authenticity to the promotion.

STRIKEFIRST News!

Featherweight Grand Prix!

STRIKEFIRST CEO Charlie Knight has announced that starting in February, we'll see the beginning of the STRIKEFIRST Featherweight Grand Prix to crown the first ever Featherweight Champion! The participants announced for tournament are:

Jason Dalglish (21-5)

Physically very small, the scrappy young Featherweight Jason Dalglish is nonetheless not someone to be taken lightly; a strong Jiu-Jitsu background gives him submission skills that can end a match in an instant, and he has proven to be a very tough opponent to finish off. A SIGMA regular and former contender for the Featherweight title, a badly broken arm saw him miss most of 1999 and 2000 although he now appears to be getting his career back on track.

Fernando Peragon (13-3)

Debuting in 1994, Fernando Peragon quickly established himself as bit of a wild man, his reckless brawling style revolving around loading up his big right hand whenever possible and swinging for the fences. Although his style is short on finesse, it has proven to be too much for many of his opponents to handle. A regular with SIGMA, he, along with most of the top names in the company, jumped ship to STRIKEFIRST at the beginning of 2002.

Manish Khan (11-4)

Having excelled in England's amatuer boxing ranks, "Kid Britain" Manish Khan moved to MMA in 1994. Boasting fast hands and excellent head movement, his elusive counter-punching style quickly helped him establish himself as a major force and took him all the way to a SIGMA Featherweight title shot. Unfortunately he lost that bout to Snorri Gunnarsson and the defeat seems to have sent his career into a tailspin, and will no doubt be looking to get his career back on track during this tournament.

Pedro Alves (15-5)

Portugal's Pedro "The Wolverine" Alves has been a regular on the European circuit since his debut in 1993. A dedicated student of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (and a particularly big fan of using the rubber guard), he has the ability to cause most people major headaches on the floor but has always been let down by his poor stand-up skills.

Colm Dee (15-5)

A former boxer, Colm "The Celtic Warrior" Dee is a fan favourite because of his exciting guts and glory approach to MMA. His ground game is definitely his weakness, but Dee has developed an excellent sprawl - helped by his unusual height for a featherweight - and so is very difficult to takedown. His big reach also comes in very handy.

Gerit Dudok (9-0)

An exciting young talent from the Netherlands, Gerrit Dudok is a quality kick boxer who is known for his flashy strikes. Making his pro debut at just 19, Dudok is considered to be one of the potential future Featherweight champions. SIGMA certainly thought so, as they signed him in 1999. He has gone on to win his first five fights for them, sending him rocketing up the rankings before STRIKEFIRST signed him.

Marco Bernacci (8-2)

One of Europe's brightest prospects, Marco "The Bomb" Bernacci is a talented kick boxer who has the power to knock out any opponent. A good sprawl also helps keep him away from his weakest area, the ground. He was a regular with SIGMA, fighting in their Featherweight division, and appeared to be slowly being groomed for the top.

Graeme Rothwell (9-1)

A short but powerful Featherweight, Graeme Rothwell has a background in grappling and likes to use that to control and dominate opponents. Far from one dimensional, "Sparky" also hits hard and has some good chokes in his submission arsenal.

(Author's notes: I changed Graeme Spark's name because for some reason I don't like it haha)

The tournament brackets will be announced in the coming weeks.

European Expansion!

Since the announcement of a rebrand, STRIKEFIRST has certainly been busy, signing a vast amount of talent from SIGMA in particular. some of the huge names include reigning SIGMA Heavyweight Champion Aleksander Ivanov, The Basora Brothers Alberto and Luis, even outbidding ALPHA-1 for Luis, former champion and one half of the 1999 and 2001 Fight of the Year Matti Kurri, rising stars Dag Kreuger, Stephan De Winter and Thom Billings, Middleweight contender Thorbjorn Rekdal, Jens Halle, Templeton Crumb and almost the entirity of their Featherweight division. This sudden shift in mentality for STRIKEFIRST appears to be to try and do more shows outside the UK, which will no doubt worry SIGMA due to them not having the financial backing that STRIKEFIRST do.

There are some notable names STRIKEFIRST curiously didn't go for though, namely the most sought after Light Heavyweight in the continent Niko Soldo, Featherweight Champion Lars Bohlin and former champion Snorri Gunnarsson. Snorri and Lars weren't brought in due to Knight not enjoying their style of fighting and thought it'd put a downer on the new division if the initial champion wasn't willing to put on a show. Knight and Soldo meanwhile have a long history with each other, dating back to 1999, when Knight tried to sign Niko but talks apparently went so badly he silently blacklisted "The Gladiator" from the company, both men haven't spoken publicly about the issue however.
