FIGHT #1 Yoshida Takahashi 28 5'7" 155lbs 72" reach 11-4-3 Strengths: Unpredictable, leg locks, All Japan Combat Wrestling 70kg Champion Naizen Hamacho 25 5'10" 155lbs 73" reach 7-0-0 Strengths: Takedown defense, kickboxing experience, knockout power __________________________ The bell rings, signaling the beginning of the fight. Hamacho comes out swinging, hoping to catch Takahashi with punches early. Takahashi is surprisingly elusive on his feet, using good footwork to keep away from the strikes of the former pro kickboxer. Takahashi throws a wild spinning heel kick, showing off his unpredictability, though it is easily dodged by the veteran striker in Hamacho. Takahashi checks a low kick. Takahashi has shown throughout this fight he is more than just a submission specialist, showcasing good defensive and offensive stand up. Takahashi leaps in for a jumping knee, catching Hamacho on his chin! Hamacho is wobbly! Takahashi dives in to grab a leg, immediately going for a heel hook. A rocked Hamacho defends it well and winds up with Takahashi in his half guard. This is a bad position for Hamacho, as he is on the ground with one of the best grapplers in the world. Immediately Takahashi goes for a kimura, cranking it hard, but is unable to get the tap from a tenacious Hamacho. He opts to switch to a keylock, but is once again unable to force the tap. Takahashi rolls back for a kneebar, but Hamacho pops his leg out with relative ease. Takahashi, while a bit frustrated, does not give up and continues to look for the submission finish. Takahashi is in arm triangle position, but is stuck in half guard. He frees his leg and swings over Hamacho's body, putting an immense amount of pressure on the neck of his opponent. After 10 seconds, Hamacho succumbs to the submission and taps out. Showcasing a wide variety of skills, most impressively his ability to rock Hamacho on the feet, Yoshida Takahashi wins a one sided victory via tap out due to an arm triangle choke. FIGHT #2 Eisaku Nozaki 25 5'11" 205lbs 72" reach 6-2-0 Strengths: Heavy hands, good chin Yorimoto Ina 30 5'11" 205lbs 72" reach 21-8-0 Strengths: Veteran experience, submission expert, very durable __________________________ The bell rings, signaling the beginning of the fight. Nozaki steps in and throws some wild punches but is countered with a nice combination to the chin from Ina. Ina shoots in for a takedown, but is stuffed and pulled into a clinch. Both fighters break away. Ina is looking to stand and bang. Ina throws a nice jab but Nozaki uses head movement to dodge the punch. Nozaki fires back a jab of his own but is countered with another nice combination. Both fighters continue to strike for a minute more before Ina shoots in for a takedown, only succeeding in pushing Nozaki against the ropes. They clinch once again, Ina landing a sharp elbow to the face of Nozaki, opening up a gash above his eye. Ina lands another nice elbow before backing off, looking to continue standing with Nozaki. Before they can continue, the ref jumps pauses the fight to have the doctor check Nozaki's cut. The ref looks at the gash on his forehead, but signals it will not be a problem. The ref restarts the fight. Both men, while hard hitting and a bit wild, have spent much of this fight feeling each other out and landing decent strikes. I'm not sure why Ina has not went for the takedown, as he is much more adept on the ground. Nozaki looks tired. Both men clinch for a good amount of time against the ropes, breaking away after a good amount of dirty boxing. Finally, Ina shoots in for a takedown and trips Nozaki who pulls half guard. Ina easily moves to mount and is now throwing down some good elbows, though there doesn't seem to be too much behind them. Nozaki is tired but continues to try to escape, accidentally giving up his back in the process! Sensing the end, Ina begins to unload with punches the back of Nozaki's head. Nozaki attempts to roll over, but is stopped by the much more experienced grappler in Ina. Ina continues to throw down hard punches, dumping what energy he has left in an attempt to end this grueling affair. Ina lands some nice hard shots to the back of Nozaki's head, prompting him to tap out. After a long, grueling bout, Ina ends the fight with strikes from the top. Yorimoto Ina wins via tap out due to punches. FIGHT #3 Dustin Harris 23 5'8" 155lbs 72" reach 10-0-0 Strengths: Takedowns, ADCC veteran, well rounded Shinji Oiwa 33 5'8" 68" reach 7-4-0 Strengths: Karate black belt, hard to put away, kickboxing experience __________________________ The bell rings, signaling the beginning of the fight. Oiwa seems to be a bit cocky, clearly not respecting the stand up Harris. Hands down, Oiwa faints some punches, attempting to draw Harris in. Harris steps in, faking a jab and getting double underhooks on Oiwa. With ease, Harris lifts up the karate black belt and slams him to the ground. In half guard, Harris throws some big left hands but is dealt with by Oiwa. After a few seconds, Harris easily moves into side mount. Oiwa shows relative experience on the ground, attempting to pull guard. Harris moves quickly, trapping the arm of Oiwa and attaining the reverse crucifix position! He unloads with big elbows, Oiwa getting cut on the bridge of his nose. With Oiwa unable to defend, the referee steps in and stops the fight. In a one sided affair, Oiwa is dominated on the ground on route to a TKO loss. Dustin Harris wins by referee stoppage due to strikes. FIGHT #4 Kojuro Kudo 27 5'10" 185lbs 70" reach 10-2-0 1NC Strengths: Well rounded, great boxing, devastating low kicks Tadao Miyazaki 24 5'9" 185lbs 70" reach 7-0-0 Strengths: Karate black belt, unorthodox style, underrated ground game __________________________ The bell rings, signaling the beginning of the fight. Miyazaki is elusive, moving around the ring in a somewhat traditional karate stance. The more aggressive Kudo cannot seem to figure out Miyazaki, already showing signs of being flustered. Miyazaki moves around the ring with ease, hitting a nice leg kick that cause Kudo to stumble. He can't take many of those. Miyazaki throws another but Kudo wisely stays out of range. They wind up in a clinch, Kudo throwing some nice uppercuts from the over-under clinch. Kudo seems to be finding his rhythm as he begins to land with more frequency. Kudo is cut off, however, as Miyazaki lands a nice counter right that drops his opponent. The referee begins the ten-count. It looks like things might be over for Kudo, but he miraculously stands up after 9 seconds. He is wobbly, though, Miyazaki should go in for the kill. Miyazaki lands a nice counter body kick. Miyazaki slips a punch and once again lands a leg kick. Kudo begins to show the effects of these kicks, as he is now limping. Kudo is being completely out classed in the stand up, and is once again caught with a big punch that floors him. The referee starts the ten-count. Kudo stands up after 7 seconds. They continue to stand, Miyazaki patiently picking apart a battered Kudo. They wind up in a clinch and Miyazaki pushes Kudo against the ropes, beginning to show some fatigue. They break. Kudo gets caught with a right straight as he steps in, knocking him down for a third time. Once again he is up at 9 seconds. The referee would do well to stop this fight. So far this fight has yet to go to the ground, Miyazaki continuing to pick apart Kudo who is nearly out on his feet. Kudo takes a hard low kick. Both men are exhausted, Miyazaki becoming a bit frustrated that he cannot put Kudo away. Kudo lands a nice body kick. Miyazaki counters with a nice flurry of punches, knocking Kudo down again. The referee starts the ten-count. Kudo is up at 9 seconds. Miyazaki looks to the ref, probably wondering why the ref has yet to stop this one sided fight. Miyazaki lands a big right hand, nearly dropping Kudo. Kudo covers up as Miyazaki lands a big combination, the effects of the flurry not showing until Kudo stumbles back. Seeing an opening, Miyazaki throws a head kick. Failing to bring his hands up in time, Kudo takes it full force against his jaw and goes down against the ropes, the referee jumping in before Miyazaki can land follow up punches. After a very grueling affair that saw Miyazaki dominate Kudo in the stand up, it ends with a devastating knockout. Tadao Miyazaki wins by KO. FIGHT #5 Ari Peltonen 34 6'2" 236lbs 77" reach 23-7-0 Strengths: Well rounded, power, dominant top game Takafumi Ando 29 6'1" 264lbs 72" reach 14-10 Strengths: Size, power, durability __________________________ The bell rings, signaling the beginning of the fight. Peltonen immediately lands a right hook and shoots for a takedown, but is unable to complete it on the gigantic Ando. Ando attempts to muscle Peltonen up against the ropes but is surprised to find Peltonen out wrestling him. Showcasing insane strength, Peltonen gets double underhooks and lifts the 264 pound Ando up and slams him to the ground. Peltonen moves to mount and begins to pound away on a defenseless Ando. Ando rolls, giving up his back to Peltonen. Peltonen pounds away with elbows to the back of the head, but the referee is not stepping in. Peltonen is unloading with punches and elbows to the back of the head of Ando, but the referee still has yet to stop the fight. Peltonen continues to unload with punches but is only succeeding in punching himself out. Ando is unable to move Peltonen off of him. Peltonen unloads with big elbows to back of the head of Ando, forcing him to tap out. In another one sided fight, Ando is dominated from the opening bell. Ari Peltonen wins via tap out due to elbows. Fight #6 Oleg Dorosklov 37 5'9" 185 71" reach MMA debut Strengths: Judo black belt, durability Suncho Sakurai 27 5'10" 185lbs 74" reach 9-3-0 Strengths: Karate black belt, good chin, elusive __________________________ The bell rings, signaling the beginning of the fight. Dorosklov is sporting a judo gi. Both men feel each other out, surprisingly Dorosklov looks comfortable on his feet. This has to be due to his striking training with local Ukrainian kickboxers.

Sakurai tries to sweep him, but only succeeds in giving up his back. Dorosklov unloads with some punches, but cannot finish Sakurai. Sakurai escapes out the back door and they're back to standing.

In a surprising turn of events, Go Yamamoto has withdrawn from his quarter final bout with Edilberto de Silva for unknown reasons! It has already been confirmed by Scott Avatar that Yamamoto's opponent in the preliminaries, Motoki Hojo, will replace him in the quarter finals. For Hojo, this is very good news and a chance for him to redeem himself after being knocked out two fights straight.

ALPHA-1: CRITICAL COUNTDOWN 2000 In a sport heavily dominated by the heavyweight fighters, the lighter fighters never seem to get their chance to shine. Well, in Alpha-1, that will all change, as many fans were enamored as 16 of the best lightweights in the world let it all hang out in their attempts to move one step closer in capturing the inaugural Alpha-1 lightweight title. We now move to the quarter finals where all 8 men involved hope to move forward into the semi-finals. ____________________________________________ FIGHTS TOURNAMENT BOUTS Yoshida Takahashi vs Tarcisio Dantas Edilberto de Silva vs Motoki Hojo Fujimaro Hidaka vs Dustin Harris Naizen Hamacho vs Korekiyo Anzai NON-TOURNAMENT BOUTS Flavio Alberto vs Jan Olav Aker Jeremy Douille vs Ikku Funaki Aluizio da Assuncao vs Ebizo Fujishima Daigo Kitaguchi vs Dias Candido |

In a somewhat unsurprising twist, de Silva has once against missed weight. Edilberto de Silva, who has now come in overweight three times in a row, came in 4 pounds over the 155lb weight limit and will be forced to once again forfeit some of his purse. Alpha-1 has yet to make a statement or even mention any kind of disciplinary action, most likely due to the rising popularity of the Brazilian muay thai specialist.
When asked about the situation, de Silva's opponent in the quarter finals, Motoki Hojo, said he did not feel any way about it and said he would still win regardless. |
