3) HARLEY DAVIDSON VS KENJI “ECLIPSE” YAMASHAMITO
Eclipse has a very good chance of ending this one on the feet. Harley can swing but he no match toe-to-toe with Eclipse. Even if he manages to hang with Eclipse with strikes Eclipse’s legendary chin will keep him from doing any significant damage. Harley needs to get the clinch, press Eclipse up against the fence and take this to the ground. He has the ability to take this one but I don’t think he can pull it off. Eclipse too strong and too fast on his feet. My pick is Eclipse round 1 KO.
ROUND 1
Eclipse wastes no time and makes a b-line straight for Harley. Harley looks lost as Eclipse lands kicks and puches at will. Harely tries to look for the clinch but Eclipse keeps moving and scoring with his lightning quick hands and feet. As Eclipse back Harley into the fence Harley lashes out with a wild hook. Eclipse defends but finds himself locked in the clinch. Eclipse looks to throw but Harely counters and lands a solid knee to the body. Eclipse falls to the ground. Harley follows through with a brutal soccer kick to the body that lifts Eclipse off the ground. To top things off Harley leaps in the air and comes crashing down with a beautiful diving punch. The blow lands clean and Eclipse looks hurt bad. Harely looks to finish the fight but Eclipse somehow recovers and scrambles back to his feet. Harely meets him head on looking for the takedown. Eclipse now fully recovered circles away and peppers Harley with strikes from the outside. As the round ends Eclipse retains control with kicks and punches.
KENJI 10-9 (CLOSE ROUND) 2 TOKENS
ROUND 2
Harely slams his fist together as he waits for the round to start. As soon as the buzzer sounds Harley closes the distance. Eclipse stumbles back as Harley lands a well placed stomp kick. Harely follows through a wild combo. Eclipse defends well and lands a kick to the body that sends Harely back. Eclipse stays on him and lands a blistering barrage of punches. Harely falls against the cage. Eclipse sees his chance and blasts out a vicious 1,2 combo that cracks Harely right on the chin. The crowd roars as Harely flops down face first and out for the count.
WINNER: KENJI “ECLIPSE” YAMASHAMITO/ KO (PUNCHES)/ ROUND 1/ 1 MINUTE 7 SECONDS
I was this close to eating my words about Eclipse winning this fight. Harley had him in deep trouble with the soccer kick and the highlight worthy diving punch. Eclipse showed great heart staying in the fight. Round 2 was all Eclipse as he smashed his way to the semi finals. Great fight for both fighters.

4)MARSHALL ACE VS BIG COCK MURDOK
There is some bad blood here. Although Murdok talks a good game I don’t think he can back it up against Ace. Ace has some brutal power in his kicks and has an iron chin. Even if Murdok get this to the ground he is not known for finishing fights. If he is lucky he can hold Ace down and grind out a win. Unfortunately I just don’t see that happening.
ROUND 1
Murdok surprisingly takes the initiative and meets Ace head on. Murdok gets in close and lands a nice jab. As Ace looks to circle out Murdok pursues and lands again and again. Murdock loads up looking to land a big shot. Ace seizes his opportunity and lands a solid kick to the body. Ace takes over with a dazzling display of kicks to the legs and body. Murdok tries to responds but can’t seem to find his range. Ace turns it up and brutalizes Murdoks legs with some vicious kicks and follows through with a lethal roundhouse. Murdok falls to his back and looks hurt. Ace backs away and motions for him to stand. Murdok gets back to his feet. Ace continues his dominance branding Murdok over and over with his seemingly endless barrage of kicks. Just as the round ends Ace lands a kick to the body that sends Murdok on all fours gasping for air.
MARSHALL ACE 10-8
MURDOK (2 TOKENS)
ROUND 2
Showing some serious bravado Murdok comes storming out of his corner. After landing a well placed jab Murdok locks up Ace and presses him up against the fence. Ace looks overwhelmed as Murduk peppers him with dirty boxing. Ace struggles to break free but Murdok stays in control popping him with shirt strikes over and over. The crowd gets to their feet as Murdok dumps Ace to the ground. The two scramble for control. Luckily Ace breaks free and springs back up to his feet. Murdok charges forward looking for another shot. Ace wastes no time and leaps into the air landing a brutal spinning back kick into the ribs of Murdok. Murdok folds over in agony but somehow stays on his feet. Ace looks to finish but Murdok recovers and wraps him up in the clinch. As the round ends Murdok regains control and scores with some dirty boxing.
MURDOK 10-9 (3 TOKENS)
ROUND 3
The two fighters nod to each other and touch gloves as the round starts. Murdok lands first with a grazing uppercut from the outside. Before he can follow through Ace fires back with a stinging kick to the leg. Murdok backs away as Ace continues his assault. Murdok clamps on in the clinch. Ace shoves him off and blasts him with a flying knee. Murdok falls to the mat but Ace backs away. Murdok struggles back up to his feet. Ace rushes forward looking land a head kick. Murduk ducks under the blow and dumps him to the mat. Murdok explodes into action and lands a skull crushing barrage of hammerfists.

The ref slides in to check on Ace but Ace rolls back to guard. Ace looks to sweep and the two scramble for control. After a brief battle on the ground Ace slips out from under Murdok and gets to his feet. The crowd goes crazy. Completely exhausted Murdok struggles back to his feet. Ace bobs and weaves as he waits for Murdok to get back up. As soon as Murdok stands Ace rushes forward with a volley of brutal kicks. Murdok falls against the cage as Ace fires away. Somehow Murdok weathers the storm and manages to fire back with strikes of his own. Ace absorbs the damage and floors Murdok with a huge kick to the body. Again Ace backs away and motions for Murdok to get back up. As Murdok struggles back to his feet the crowd counts down with the clock. 15-14-13… The two fighters nod to each other and meet toe-to-toe in the center do the ring. The two fire away both looking to finish with a bang. Just as the final seconds tick away Murdok doubles Ace over with a kick to the body and follows through with a wicked elbow to the jaw. The crowd roars in disbelief as Ace a crumbles to the mat out for the count!! The ref jumps in and calls the fight.
WINNER: BIG COCK MURDOK/ KO (ELBOW)/ ROUND 3/ 4 MINUTES 52 SECONDS
Holy crap!! I did not see this one coming. Going into the third round Murdok had 3 tokens. His 10-8 loss of the 1rst round had him behind in the fight. Even if he outscored Ace he would have to go into overtime. Despite hurting Ace on the ground I thought it was over once the action got back to the feet. With an amazing come-from-behind knockout Murdok takes out one of the favorites to win this tourney. Amazing fight.

With an great batch of quarter finals beind us here are the semis..
1) SIDEWINDER VS KATARO
Though Im rooting for Neily's fighter I have to go with Kataro on this one. On the feet they are pretty even but Kataro just plain outclasses Sidewinder on the ground. If this stays on the feet (which I doubt) Sidewinder has a chance. As soon as the action hits the floor look for Kataro to get the submission win.
2) BIG [censored] MURDOCK VS KUNJI "ECLIPSE" YAMASHAMITO
Though Murdock proved me wrong in his win over Ace I just cant bring myself to pick him over Elcipse. Eclipse's striking is even more dangerous than Ace's. Plus he has an even stronger chin. Ace has Murdok is deep trouble and I see Eclipse doing the same. Im not counting Murdok out but the odds are Eclipse ends this one in round 2.

After Murdok had the guillotine on in round 1 I thought he just might take this one. He unfortunately got a little too eager in round 2 and paid for it. Eclipse looked overwhelmed on the ground but managed to survive and get the fight back on his terms. Another great finish from the striker.

FINALS
KATARO VS KENJI “ECLIPSE” YAMASHAMITO
Like I said earlier I have Kataro taking this one. As soon as this fight hits the ground it will be lights out for Eclipse. Eclipse of course has the punchers chance. Though Eclipse is the far better striker Kataro has some amazing takedowns and get things to the ground quickly. Eclipse is one hell of a fighter but I just don’t see him taking this one.
ROUND 1
Kataro gets right in Eclipses face and immediately shoots in. Kataro gets the takedown and looks for a choke. Eclipse defends well and shoves Kataro off with his legs. The two meet back on their feet. Eclipse takes over and blasts Kataro hard with a kick to the body. Kataro looks hurt and backs away.

Just as the round ends Kataro lands a vicious elbow that sends Eclipse down on one knee.

ECLIPSE (2 TOKENS)
ROUND 2
Kataro barely waits for the buzzer as he sprints across the ring. The crowd roars as Kataro slams Eclipse down hard on the mat. Kataro wastes no time and locks in a tight North South Choke. Eclipse tries in vain to break free but can’t find a way out. Finally Eclipse has no choice but to tap from the vicious hold.
WINNER: KATARO/ SUBMISSION (NORTH SOUTH CHOKE)/ ROUND 2/ 2 MINUTES AND 0 SECONDS
Once again Kataro shows off some formidable striking skills. It looked like Eclipse was thrown off his game when Kataro out struck him. Kataro's vicious slam and submissions sealed the deal in round 2. Great fight and all around great tournament.
