WCCF Presents: Thanks For The Bruises
Live at the SOLD OUT BankAntlantic Center

Dark Matches
Jun Akitsuki d. Randall "The Vandal" Baker, 2R 3:31, KO via Strikes *
Not really much to say, only that both men were warned for stalling in the opening round. This was supposed to be a chance to get the fan's attention, and they didn't succeed.
Akira Yamazaki d. Reggie Lewis, 2R 2:13, KO via Suplex, **
One-sided, as Yamazaki utterly outwrestled and outbrawled Reggie, who suffers yet another loss in WCCF. Reggie's one remarkable moment was busting open Yamazaki in the opening minuite with a right hand.
Paiva DaSilva d. Sarah Martinez, 3R 0:10, KO via Strikes, ***
A slow first round was followed by a very brutal second round with both fighters giving it their all. Martinez was on an absolute tear in the second half of round two but this woke DaSilva up

Broadcast Starts

Ingram: Jake Ingram here and this is a powder keg waiting to happen, the main event is full to the brim with tension. Here's the story for those who don't know. A year ago, the WCCF Women's Champion Alicia Gordon did battle with OG-Joshi champion Holly. During the match, Alicia was distracted by a vicious assault of fan favorite Dizzy Cavuto, who was forced into retirement from the attack. Some say Gordon has been mentally scarred from the incident, and as another effect, Dizzy has sicced a monster by the name of Nicole Dramsei on OG-Joshi to the point where most of the company's employees are not even allowed out of security's sight for a moment for their own safety. And even THAT doesn't seem to stop her as she attacked Holly's brother at a recent show. Holly and Gordon can't touch each other due to a cease fire agreement between their two factions, but Holly is here, with OrochiGeese, CEO of Orochi-O's and the man behind OG-Joshi and Universal Battalion League as well as a dozen security officers. Our own security is armed and has been ordered to prevent Nicole Dramsei from entering this building and are legally authorized to use force to do so. It should be interesting to point out that Holly chose a seat right next to the blue corner, where Gordon will be for her match.

Also, there was a rumor floating around and has persisted in both OG-Joshi and WCCF community that Gutter, who also competes for OG-Joshi, was paid by Holly to injure Alicia Gordon. Well hopefully we are squashing this rumor for good. Both women have gone ON RECORD saying they didn't even meet. Nobody seems to know where this rumor came from, but it's absolutely not true. However, Gutter did note that she wants to injure Gordon due to a comment implying that she is being coddled by her de facto guardian Jean Carter. So this one might get personal and FAST.

There is one rumor that is true. WCCF's next event will feature our speciality of intergender fighing exclusively, and will also be our prototype for a new show format as well. It will be called "Ring of Pain Zero: Battle of the Sexes"

Without further ado, folks, sit back and enjoy the best MMA fighters in the world competing.

Saya Kazama d. Giselle Melendez, 2R 1:30, Sub via Kneebar, ***
Nobody told the younger Kazama sister that Vegas put her at 30 to 1. In fact, she ATE MELENDEZ ALIVE. Well, not literally, but in the non-cannibalistic sense. Melendez held her off at first with those tree-like legs kicking, but more were missing than landing, and Kazama managed to take the giant down and deliver a kneebar that not only forced a submission but caused bone to poke through skin! Melendez was immediately taken on a stretcher to the Emergency Room.
Sergei Yakolev d. John Tunney, 2R 2:38, Sub via Punches, ***
It was Tunney's biggest challenge yet, and perhaps it was too big, as Sergei Yakolev was hungry for a chance to put himself back in the running for the Men's title. Tunney's unorthodox style scored him some good hits but it couldn't help him against Yakolev's skill and power, delivering a back suplex and following up with punches forcing a tapout.
Gina Rocelli d. Patricia Jackson, 2R 4:05, KO via Kicks, ****
Whoever won this fight would be in the best standing for the next chance at the women's title, and it was down to whoever wanted it more. It looked like PJ had Gina with a quick takedown and her expert application of chokes, but Gina survived the first round and after a pep talk with her coaches, managed to not only null PJ's offense, but went for some submissions of her own, including an impressive kimura attempt. PJ's first round had left her tired, and her sloppyness showed. In the end though Gina won with what she's best at, her brutal Muay Thai kicks, ending with a roundhouse.
Harold Creed d. Seth Williams, 2R 1:43, TKO via Stoppage, ***
Two boxers with two different schools of fighting; the heavy handed style of Harold Creed and the stick-and-move style of Seth Williams. "He is Indeed" however had problems getting through Creed's reach, and Creed used some dirty boxing as well. The finish was controversial and awkward; Creed was cut but it was William's eye, which was swollen shut, that caused Big Bud to stop the fight, and the doctors confirmed that Williams was unable to see properly, ending this otherwise crowd-pleasing fight.
Intergender Match: Tina Franklin d. Corey O'Brian, 1R 3:42, TKO via Knees, ***
WOW. O'Brian had his gameplan and it was working well until a mistimed takedown ended up with vicious knees and O'Brian went limp. A stretcher was almost wheeled in, as O'Brian has had a history of neck injuries and people feared the worst, but O'Brian was able to eventually stand... although he seemed to be extremely concussed. He was able to leave on his feet (albeit with assistance from his friend Xander Starr) and went to the hospital as well.
Women's Division Title Match: Gutter d. Alicia Gordon, 2R 2:09, KO via Punches, ***** NEW CHAMPION
This was everything that was expected: Fast, brutal, and full of action. Gordon was doing very well at first but Gutter's survival instincts allowed her to defend herself from the worst of Gordon's onslaught. Between rounds Gordon just stared daggers at Holly, totally ignoring Thunderstrike and Jang Bae, but the OG-J champ didn't seem to say a single word. Her mere presence brought out RAGE from Gordon, who came out swinging for the fences, but Gordon made a fatal error: She kept her hands down too often too long, and was punished for it, Gutter finishing her off with a combination that sent her crumbling to the floor. Ingram asked Gutter for her thoughts, Gutter said "No comment", took her belt, and left. Gordon didn't say a word either, just headed out, giving another lethal stare to Holly who sarcastically clapped at her as the show came to a close.

MATCH OF THE NIGHT: Gutter/Gordon
KNOCKOUT OF THE NIGHT: Tina Franklin
