Awesome to see Puma win the Heavyweight Championship.

Lord All Mighty! I what I wouldn't have given to have been sitting in the front row during the fight between Benedict and Wraith with that incredible blood splatter.

Great Heavyweight Tournament brother!

You were in the front row brother! Those seats are reserved for all the fans that read along!

I was surprised to see Puma win too; I really thought it would be Wraith. Now we will see at Decimation who is REALLY the champ!

Who are you picking in this fight?

[Trent Lawless]

Character development is always a good thing, especially as done here. And was that invisible blood that splattered?

[Eliath]

I'm playing out the DECIMATION card now & I have to drop a little tease:

The Heavyweight Title Fight between Puma ( c ) & Wraith was hands down the FIGHT OF THE YEAR!! There isn't any other fight that could come close to how good it was & it featured TWO 10-8 rounds & went into the 5th before the knockout!

Sorry, I'm stoked!

[Trent Lawless]

As Macro might say, "Whee!" Can't wait to read it!

(Image shifts back to Mensar)

- Rubicon was mumbling quietly to himself as the fight started & screamed “NO!” as Mensar approached & blasted him with a straight right hand but didn’t pursue the knockdown. Mensar recovered & hit a right uppercut, left elbow cross that opened a nasty gash on Rubicon; he didn’t seem to notice. The rest of the round was brutal with Mensar punishing Rubicon’s lack of interest in the fight. In the final minute, Rubicon’s head seemed to clear for a moment as he tried to strangle Mensar on the mat with both hands. (10-9 Mensar)

::RND 2::
- Another ugly round for Rubicon. Every time Mensar hit him he tried to go down but Mensar kept holding him up & brutalizing him further. Mensar opened another gash under the same eye; again Rubicon screamed “NO!” & locked on a two-handed strangle to end the round. (10-9 Mensar)

::RND 3::
- Mensar continued his brutal assault for another 2:30 & added two more tokens to the withering champion. One thing became apparent through the round; no matter what Mensar tried, he couldn’t finish Rubicon.

WINNER & STILL CHAMPION: Rubicon by KO (spinning hammer fist) (3:42 RND 3)

(Image shifts back to Conundrum)

LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT
CONUNDRUM ( c ) vs. CYPHER
::RND 1::
- Cypher immediately got the takedown & drove elbows into Conundrum’s neck repeatedly. Conundrum rolled & switched positions then drove Cypher into the cage & postured up, raised Cypher high into the air & slammed him head first into the bottom of the cage, busting open the back of Cypher’s head like a melon. Blood sprayed out of Cypher’s mouth as Conundrum locked on a power guillotine choke & made the referee break the hold.

(Image shifts back to Puma)

(Image shifts to holo-vid comments from the contenders for the LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE; first the challenger Euritar)

(Image shifts to the POW Lightweight Champion)

Akuma: “I have nothing bad to say about Euritar. He was a good champion who fought bravely while he held the title. I wish him luck tonight in our fight.”

(Image shifts back to Euritar)

(Image shifts to holo-vid comments from the contenders for the MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE; first the challenger Shylock)

Shylock: “I’ve been waiting for this fight; Saboteur’s been ducking me since he won his title. I’ve beaten everyone in my path to get to this fight; Saboteur is next.”

(Image shifts to the POW Middleweight Champion)

Saboteur: “I’ve been ducking you Shylock? Nothing of the sort; I’ve been beating everyone. It wasn’t until lately that you became worthy of notice. While you were beating chumps, I was beating contenders.”

(Image shifts back to Shylock)

Shylock: “I’m going to take this fist…& this one, & beat the living hell out of him. When the time is right, I’m going to submit him.”

(Image shifts back to Saboteur)

Saboteur: “Did I hear that correctly? Shylock wants to submit me? (he throws his head back & laughs) Seriously, Shylock you need to have your head examined. I’m the best in the world right now. If you try to roll with me, you’re going to get your arm broke.”



MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT
SABOTEUR ( c ) vs. SHYLOCK
::RND 1::
- Shylock used his reach to strike from the outside & rocked Saboteur with an overhand right but when he took Saboteur down a kata getame was waiting for him. They traded punches but Saboteur got the upper hand & drove Shylock into the fence & slammed him down. Shylock opened up the corner of Saboteur’s eye with an elbow strike & pounded him relentlessly to end the round. (10-9 Shylock)

::RND 2::
- Saboteur came out & banged with Shylock; it didn’t take long for Shylock to take control of the striking. Around the 3 minute mark it was Shylock who got the takedown & tried to ground out the round, but that played right into the champion’s plan. Saboteur found what he was waiting for at 3:25 & caught Shylock in a triangle choke. There was no escape & Shylock had to tap.

WINNER & STILL MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION: Saboteur by SUB (triangle choke) (3:34 RND 2)


(Post fight interview with Saboteur)

Saboteur: “I told him not to roll with me; I did. I think after tonight the next in line for a title shot is TK. He impressed me with his handling of that punk-ass Raven tonight. So, POW¹⁹ will feature the POW Middleweight Champion Saboteur vs. TK; be there!”

[Overman]

Impressive card! Saboteur scoring the huge win on Shylock....who is just really hard to put down.

[Alexander Ubel]

Fantastic!

I can't predict winners worth a crap. I only got 7 right. At least I did well on the money makers missing only one of the championship matches and honestly I saw that fight going either way.

Conundrum stayed true to his word and destroyed Cypher.

Remind me to never bet against T.K. again, 19 seconds is brutal, especially against someone like Raven.

I like how your handling Rubicon. Was he in a rage or did you get a normal roll and off hand how do you work this state into the MMA format there is no rules for it just the wrestling side.

[Avarice]

Awesome fights. Loved the comments between fights from the participants. The action is what I'd hoped for and didn't disappoint. Great job.

[Trent Lawless]

Well, I can certainly see why you were stoked! Nice show. Too bad for the ol' 1-1 for Cypher.
