Fight #4!


Hello fans and Welcome to the ITO and it is time to RUMBBLLEE!!

So fans what you are about to jump into is the fight of the night. It is the fight for the Heavyweight Title Belt. You have the Belt holder Chris DeLaRocha from Washington and Dylan Clark from Oregon. I will say my restores were limited on this fight so sorry if it is shorter then the last blogs. So lets jump in to this fight!

Chris DeLaRocha has a record of 2-0 and holds the Belt for the FCFF Heavyweight Devon. Chris has fought only twice and has won both of his fights. He won the belt with a TKO in the second round last time he fought which was Rumble 57. So he has had less then 6 months to get ready for this fight. He is a good fighter and I am looking for a good fight from him.

Now the opponent of Chris is Dylan Clark. This is his first time stepping the ring in PDX. I hope he comes out in his first fight and lights up the world!

Lets see how these guys face up!

Fight #3!


Hey there fight fans geuss what time it is it is time to RUMBBBLLEEE!!!

The next fight you are diving into is the Flywieght Championship. The fighters. You have the holder of the belt David "Man of Steel" Converse facing agianst Jeff Alden. So lets jump into this fight!

First off is the holder of the Belt David Converse. David is 6-1 and corently holding the Belt to the Flywieght devsion. David in his last fight won on a Unanimous Decision in his last fight. Now this fight is big the question is can he hold his belt in this fight. Lets see how he fights. Now David likes to start the fight off fast. With that he usaly takes contrall of the fight. If you are not paying attention you could be hit by a leg of a fist. He is a GREAT stand-up fighter. And on the ground he is the same. He use his speed to get on top of you and from then he will take all contral of the fight. Now his weekness is when he is pinned back agianst the ring and has no where to go. Now people will say every fighter is like David, but aculy only a handful of fighters you will find are like that. I am looking for a good fight from David. I cant wait!

Now for the contender for the Belt is a well known name to the FCFF Jeff Alden. Jeff is coming off a win in the last Rumble at the roseland. Jeff is 3-4-1 in his record and has fought at the Roseland 7 times now. Like David Jeff loves to start the fight off fast! He is a exseclent fighter on the ground all of his wins have be on the ground. He will use his strangh to contral his oppent. And when he is stand he is ok. He has a good looking kick but he needs to work on his jabing. Now his weakness is when he is punched in the gut he will bend down which can lead to a knee in the head to knock him out. I know that this Veturn of the FCFF will put up a good figt fior the Flywieght Championship belt. I looking foward to him fighting.

Now lets see how these guys match up.

Jeff Alden:
Amateur Record: 3-4-1 (Win-Loss-Draw)
Team:
Age: 23
Sex: Male
Height: 5 Feet. 7 Inch(es).
Weight: 135 lbs.
Out of: OR

David "Man of steel" Converse:
Amateur Record: 6-1-0 (Win-Loss-Draw)
Team:
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Height: 5 Feet. 5 Inch(es).
Weight: 135 lbs.
Out of: OR


As you can see these two fighters are both good looking fighters. Now I have to pick one of these fighters. I amd picking Jeff with his strangh I think that he will hold the fast David and win his first Belt! Till next time fight fans I am Jake signing out I will post the last fight on wensday! Till then have a AWESOME DAY!!

Fight #2



Welcome Fans to ITO and it is time to RUMBBBLLLEEE!!! So lets jump in to it.

What fans you are about to jump into is the Welterweight Championship. You will be having Jason Novelli from team quest and Billy Denny from Eugen OR. So lets dive into this fight. First off Jason Novelli.

First up on ITO is Jason Novelli. Jason has a 3-1-1 record. He is a well known fighter to the FCFF for has fought for them three times. This is only Jasons 2nd Title fight that he has participated in. His first fight was against Ben Elgi where he lost in the 3rd round. Now as for his fighting he has a GREAT! take down and does well to control his opponent on the ground. But when he is standing that is a different story. There are times where he is really good then there is times where he can be completely different of it. I am going to expecting a lot out of Jason on this fight. Lets go on to Billy Denny.

Now the opponent that will be fighting Jason is known over then Billy Denny who has a 7-2-0 record. Billy is just now coming off of a loss to well the same fighter that Jason lost to Ben Elgi in the same title fight. Now as for his fighting ability he is a well trained fighter. He is a all around fighter you could say.He is great on the ground with the controlling his opponent and more. His standing game is good but not great. Expect a lot from Billy with his ground control and his ability to fight while standing.

Alright now that you have dived down into these fighters lets see how they match up.

Billy Denny:
Amateur Record: 7-2-0 (Win-Loss-Draw)
Team:
Age: 28
Sex: Male
Height: 5 Feet. 7 Inch(es).
Weight: 170 lbs.
Out of: OR
Born: Eugene, Or

Jason Novelli:
AM record: 3-1-1 (Win-Loss-Draw)
Team:
Age: 32
Sex: Male
Height: 6 Feet. 0 Inch(es).
Weight: 170 lbs.
Out of: WA

As you can see you have the veteran and the rookie competition. It is Billy Denny VS Jason Novelli who will win? I am saying that Jason with the high will control Billy and win his first FCFF title. Thanks for reading next up THE flyweight Title. But that is next time fans till then I am Jake signing out. Have a great a DAY!!

Fight #1.



Hello Fight fans and welcome to the NEW and IMPROVED IN THE OCTAGON!!! So lets jump into the first Title fight. Let RUMBLEEEE!!!!

The first Title fight that I will be covering looks to be a good one. The Fight is for the Lightweight Belt. Now as for the two fighters you have William Hill who is coming from Team Quest. And then you have Ryan Truitt from Washington.

Ryan Truitt is from Washington as I said earlier. He is known as one of the better ground fighters in the Northwest but what has made his name come out is the two Title fights he has fought in. In both of those fights he lost. This is his third title fight in his career. He has a nasty right hand and a good looking take down. He is a good all around fighter. His last fight was other a year ago and was a win. So we don't know what to expect from Ryan he could be rusty or he could be the new GSP who knows. Now his weakness on the ground is Arm Bar or the RNC. Now as for his weakness when he is up and standing is the kicks to the body. Now what I am expecting from Ryan is a lot of high power Punch's and and a LOT of take downs. This is the First time Ryan will be fighting for the FCFF. So the PDX MMA fans will be looking at a All star caliber fighter.

The other fighter that will be facing Ryan is none other that William Hill a well known fighter to the PDX fans. William is coming from Team Quest. Will has fought 7 times in his career and in those times this is his first time facing off for a Belt. Now Will is known for his stand-up fighting he has a good right hook and kick that will make you cry! In his last fight it only toke Will 58 seconds to end the fight with his third TKO win. Now his weakness is the ground play, mostly the Arm Bar. The two times he has lost has because of an Arm Bar. Now when his is standing that is a another story he can body shots but leg shots and head shots are his week points. This is not Wills first time playing in PDX in fact he has played in PDX 6 times. So he will be a fans favorite.

Here is who they match up....

Will Hill.
Amateur Record: 5-2-0 (Win-Loss-Draw)
Team: Team Quest
Age: 33
Sex: Male
Height: 6 Feet. 1 Inch(es).
Weight: 155 lbs.
Out of: OR

Ryan Truitt.
Amateur Record: 3-2-0 (Win-Loss-Draw)
Team:
Age: 29
Sex: Male
Height: 5 Feet. 9 Inch(es).
Weight: 120 lbs.
Out of: OR
Born: Portland, Or


Now these fighters are almost equally matched. My pick for this fight is... Will Hill for he has experience and the way he fights. Fans I hope you have Enjoyed this Blog. Up next to be dived into is the Welterweight Belt! Until next time fans I am signing out. Keep on rolling!

WHAT A FINISH!!












Hey fights fans it is time to jump into ITO for the UFC!!

Earlier tonight Velasquez would be facing Dos Santos for the UFC Heavy TITLE!!!!! So fans IT TIME TO RUMBLEEEEE!!!!

So fans this is the fight of year Junior Dos Santos VS Cain Velasquez and what a fight it would be. To start off Cain would only go for the leg shoots once in while he would go for the body shot but not much. But as for Dos Santos he was every where he was going for body and the leg. This was a one sided fight. But the big factor was how fast the fight was only 64 sec in Cain would go for left hoke to the jaw on Dos Santos but Junior had other fought. Junior would come back with a right hoke that would nook down 240 pound Cain and he would stay down. Junior would pounce like a hawk and get on top of Cain and get 2 Punch's on Cain and then the REF would call the fight off. In only after hearing "Lets get it on" 64 sec in Junior Dos Santos became the new HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION!! Thanks for reading the blog fans until the next time fans I am Jacob signing out.

new start.






Hey there fight fans long time no talk. What you are about to read will be mind blowing. This is a new and Improved ITO. In this new and improved ITO I will be going deep inside the Big fights in the FCFF and the UFC. I will brake down the fighters and there moves and the what we will be expecting from them in the fight.I will take you into a new WORLD of MMA! You will ask your self.. When does this New and improved MMA thing start? Well I will start today so fans ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Now fans I will be taking you into the world of UFC tonight. This a fight that will go down as one of the BEST fight in UFC history. It is the fight for the Heavy Weight championship. It has come down to Velasquez VS Dos Santos. You are looking at the two best fighters in the Heavy Weight division. Now when you look at these two fighters you see a different fight staged. Velasquez is the best alround fighter in the UFC. While Dos Santos has the fasted attack in the Heavy Weight divsion. This match looks like a one sided match. I have Velasquez winning and holding his belt. The fight is taking place in Anaheim, CAL at the Honda Centre.

Today fans I will be taking you to Cage at the Coast 6! Now on this beautiful night you had 2 title fights. Here is what undercard looked like.........
Undercard
157 Dustin Hurliman def. Kyle Marsh : Unanimous Decision
171 Ryan Thomas def. Gemini Moore : TKO 1:36 of Rd. 2
155 Fernando Arreola def. Aaron Tanner : Tapout due to choke, 1:23 of Rd. 1
185 Mike Gonzalez def. Justin Searcy : Tapout due to choke at 1:02 of Rd. 2
185 Grant Burger def. Daniel Agius : Unanimous Decision
155 Peter Toyas def. Blayke Elliott : :35 of Rd. 1, tapout due to choke
170 John Garcia def. Nick Huff : :47 of Rd. 1, tapout due to choke
185 Brysen French def. Brian Thompson : 1:08 of Rd. 1, tapout due to armbar
195 George Jordan def. Josh Ryan : Unanimous Decision
205 Jason Pittman def. Bobby Rudel : TKO 1:42 of Rd. 2
145 Sean Soliz def. Kevin Walker : Unanimous Decision
170 Sean Baker def. Kyle Ellsworth : Unanimous Decision
120 Female: Liz Tracy def. Emily Whitmire : Majority Decision

Now last time you heard the name Ryan Harrington he had beat Josh Mecfferson for the Super Heavy Belt. Now he has to hold it against Damoin Martindale. Now this fight would be a good fight in the first round but Only 1:49 seconds into the second round Ryan would not only end the fight but would end in style he would knock-out Damion. After that he would again hold his title. A good win for Ryan.

Now to the second Title fight of the night was for the Bantawieght Title and it was between Cory Vombuar VS Tyler Fryman. Again this fight would be good in the first but in the second round it would end in a flare. Only 1:44 sec in to the fight Corry would get on the back of Tyler and would get Tyler in a RNC (Rear Naked Chock) and would end it there. It would have a happy ending for Cory as he wins the BantaWeight Belt.

Thankyou for reading my blog fans and till next time I am singing out! GOOD NIGHT!
