This was the fight for the Interim Flyweight Championship. It was the fast Alex Corrales VS Adam King. So this fight was a lot of punches and no ground game. It only toke Adam Young 1:26 to TKO Alex and take the Interim Flyweight Championship. Congratulation to Adam.







The next fight would be for the lightweight Championship between.. William Hill and Ryan Truitt. This fight was a good it was all other the place on teh ground and standing. It would come to the second round when it was all William. Will would knock down Ryan with a punch to the head that would have ended the fight but the umpire did not call off the fight he keep them fighting. So about a minute after that knock down Will would get on Ryan on make him tap due to a choke. That would end the fight and make Will the NEW FCFF lightweight Championship! Congratulations to Will with that win.

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!

Chris DeLaRocha:
Amateur Record: 2-0-0 (Win-Loss-Draw)
Team:
Age: 32
Sex: Male
Height: 6 Feet. 4 Inch(es).
Weight: 245 lbs.
Out of: WA

Dylan Clark:
Amateur Record: 0-0-0 (Win-Loss-Draw)
Team:
Age: 21
Sex: Male
Height: 6 Feet. 1 Inch(es).
Weight: 255 lbs.
Out of: OR


I am sorry fans for lack of information on the fighters. My pick for this fight is the Dylan with the upset. I thank you fans for reading my blog. And until next time I am signing out!

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!!
