Featherweight Tournament The Favorites 'Lightning' Lamont Banner [1-0] - Lamont Banner is a fighter who should never be taken lightly. With the excellent training of Legendary Boxer Douglas Banner Jr, he's one of the very few fighters who can truly say they have a world class boxing game in their arsenal. With some solid takedown defense, physical skills and wrestling ability also at his disposal to couple his great striking, it'd be a long shot for Lamont Banner to NOT be in the finals of this tournament. David James Diggle [3-0] - David James Diggle is one of the better technical strikers in the featherweight division of CCL. Inconsistency aside, Diggle has some excellent knees and elbows in his inventory, ready to be fired off at any time in the match. Watch out for the clinch of this deadly animal who's just waiting to be unleashed. Britt 'Sniper Viper' Dickering [3-0] - Although not even in his twenties yet, Britt Dickering already has a certain aura about him. Even though he lacks the power to be truly lethal, Britt can certainly put an opponent to sleep in the blink of an eye. Warning, his vicious knees can put an opponent on the ground and leave him out of action for over a month, so approach the clinch with care. Markus Waller [1-0] - Although small and unassuming, Markus Waller should not be overlooked by any means. With a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and a competitor who placed highly in the Jiu-Jitsu world championships in 1996, Markus Waller is one of, if not the most dangerous featherweight competitors on the ground, especially off of his back. Albeit his stand-up isn't that great yet, at age 21, he certainly still has room to improve. In a division full of fast-paced strikers, this could be a good home for Waller. The Dark Horses Brian 'Barrage' Claremont [4-1] - Swing for the fences, and try to knock your opponent's head into the stands. That's the style that Brian Claremont personifies. Claremont, with a streak of fast finishes in his pocket, Claremont has the ability to finish a fight in mere seconds if given the opportunity. Any fighter should take notice of this true 'Dark Horse' who could be just one punch away from putting his name on the map. Graeme 'Sparky' Spark [4-0] - Another strong wrestler, short yet powerful, Spark has the ability to control and dominate opponents throughout the fight that is seen as dangerous to anybody. With the home field advantage, fighting in his backyard of England, it should be noted that Graeme could be the champion at the end of this tournament. Josuke Hino [3-0] - A talented striker and a solid Muay Thai fighter, Josuke Hino can and will end a match in mere moments if given the chance. Although he may not make it far in the tournament, there's always the chance that Hino may string together a streak of wins that pushes him to the finals. With momentum on his side, we'll just have to wait and see. Reijiro Yanagimoto [3-1] - A good kick boxer, Reijiro Yanagimoto has shown his ability to string together victories with his lethal punches and kicks. The question is, can he put together his crisp and accurate strikes to make his way to the finals. If he can improve his ground game and takedown defense over the course of the next year and a half, we may have a future champion in the making. The Rest of the Competitors Joshua 'Golden Gloves' Goldberg [1-0] - Being thrown to the wolves early in his opening match, Goldberg will need to put together a good game plan to be able to stay in the match long enough to survive, and hopefully, win. Arturo Diaz [4-0] - With a solid record, Arturo may be able to put together a win or two in this tournament, but the possibilities of him making it to the finals are very slim. Tyler 'Black Ops' Aidi [2-0] - 'If' is a strong word when it comes to Tyler Aidi. If he can get the fight to the ground, he may be able to win his match-ups. However, if he cannot, chances are he'll be put away quite quickly and handily. Kyril 'The Snow Man' Alyabyev [2-0] - With a rather weak skill-set, it'd be hard to see Alyabyev make it to the finals in this tournament. However, stranger things HAVE happened. Jan 'Thunderbolt' Ilic [1-0] - Jan Ilic probably has the best chance in this group, with some solid punching power, he can put away opponents in the blink of an eye, which makes any fighter dangerous. Kenshin Hamamoto [3-0] - Kenshin has some solid stand-up, and with the ability to use his kicks to chop down his opponents, he may just have the abilities to become a contender in the future. Bobby Castillo [2-0] - With some experience in his back pocket, and some good coaching, Bobby may turn into a decent fighter in the future. But if there was a 'No Chance In Hell' section of this report, chances are Bobby Castillo would be in it. Duey Rickert [4-2] - Even with the experience he has, and the Home Field advantage, Rickert does not have the ground game and level of Jiu-Jitsu expertise that Waller possesses. Rickert does not have a chance in this match if it hits the ground, but he could become a contender if he boosts his ground game.

- Cage Combat League 1 - Featherweights Hey Fight Fans, Harry Houghton here, and tonight I'll be giving you a review of CCL's Opening Show, the Featherweight Opener. First match of the night, and first match in CCL History honors go to Markus Waller and Duey Rickert. Rickert had difficulty doing any damage whatsoever on the feet during the first round. This culminated in a middle kick getting caught by Waller, allowing him to get a takedown. For the rest of the round, Waller fires away with strong punches from Guard, Half Guard, and some nice knees from Side Control. The first round was a solid one for Waller, and he continued it in the second, backing Rickert up with some nice dirty boxing, eventually getting himself another takedown, keeping Rickert against the cage. Waller eventually pushed Rickert to a mounted position, and from there it was easy, snapping off an arm-bar and putting Rickert away to cement his place in the quarter finals. David James Diggle and Josuke Hino were next, as they would put on a stand-up clinic. Hino and Diggle spent most of the first round in the Thai Clinch, going back and forth fighting for position. Diggle eventually got the advantage, but lost it as the round ended. Diggle wouldn't let it happen again though, as he put Hino right back into the clinch and backed him onto the cage side with uppercuts and knees to the body. Diggle eventually let loose with a knee to the side of the head, knocking Hino down, and out. Diggle moves on to the quarter finals with a potential knock out of the night. Next up is Bobby Castillo vs Kenshin Hamamoto. This match was fairly uneventful, but had enough action to keep the crowd cheering them on. Kenshin was the more versatile striker of the two, using elbows and knees to keep Castillo at bay. That wouldn't stop Castillo however, as he used his long range to pressure Hamamoto into backing up. Castillo hit some nice kicks, which kept Hamamoto on his toes for the whole fight. Hamamoto pulled out a nice flurry in round two, but in the end, it would be a split decision in favor of Bobby Castillo earning him the victory. As predicted, the next match would be finished rather brutally, as Jan Ilic met with Kyril Alyabyev. Alyabyev attempted to hit some nice, smooth kicks that would hopefully put Jan down, but none of them phased the dangerous Polish man, who landed 49% of his standing punches in tonight's match. Ilic followed his good first round with a brutal second round, countering a wayward leg kick from Kyril with a hard barrage of punches that put down the Russian fighter. Ilic finished the fight with some brutal ground and pound, moving him through the tournament. The alternate match is next, as Dule Bayliffe takes on Aidan McHugh. Dule Bayliffe would dominate the first two rounds of the fight with some solid boxing ability. Tripling the amount of punches landed by McHugh, Dule would finish the fight with solid ground and pound, after knocking McHugh down with a combination of rights and lefts, followed by a brutal overhand right, sending McHugh to the canvas, and Bayliffe to the winner's circle, allowing him to replace any injured fighter in this tournament. Tyler Aidi versus Graeme Spark is next up, and it seems that Tyler's skill set played right into Aidi's game plan. Graeme, although able to take Aidi down and neutralize any ability of his to get out of the defensive position, Aidi managed to keep Spark in the guard position for the majority of the match. In round two, Spark attempted to do the same as he did in the first, taking Aidi down with a single leg take down. Spark, although in the dominant position, left his arm out there and got caught with an arm-bar. Spark tapped almost instantly as the arm was straightened, and Aidi upsets the dark horse. Reijiro Yanagimoto and Arturo Diaz were set to take to the cage next, as they went at it in a full on, fifteen minute kickboxing match. Yanagimoto dominated the majority of the fight, excluding a short flurry from Diaz in the second. Reijiro pulls off a decent victory over a rather tough competitor, but he'll have to perform better if he hopes to continue in the tournament. Joshua Goldberg put on an exceptional performance against Lamont Banner in the co-main event, barring the circumstances he was put in. Considering an exceptional performance against Banner is just making it into the second round, it's safe to say he did good. However, it wasn't good enough, as it was just a matter of time before Lamont Banner pulled the trigger and put his opponent away. Banner only needed four punches to put away his opponent tonight, only one of which happened in the second round. Although it was considered that Goldberg did well, it was a fairly uneventful fight, as Goldberg would only throw seven punches and land zero. Either way, it didn't stop the eventual onslaught from happening, as Banner connected with one punch on the feet and finished it up with some brutal elbows from the mounted position. Brian Claremont and Britt Dickering are in the main event of the night, and boy what an exciting match this was. Claremont and Dickering gave fireworks from the start, as Claremont took mere seconds to drop Britt Dickering with a brutal right hook and followed it up with some lethal ground and pound from the mount, nearly finishing the fight. Claremont eventually got Dickering's back, and nearly put him away with a Rear Naked Choke on two separate occasions. Dickering lost the round 10-8, and would hope to get back into it in the second. Wrong, as he would get dropped again after a brutal uppercut courtesy of Brian Claremont. The rest of the match was fairly uneventful, barring a couple arm-bar attempts from Britt Dickering and some interesting, creative stand-up in the third. Judges scored the match 29-27, 29-26 and 29-26 for the winner and moving on in the tournament, Brian Claremont.

Welterweight Tournament The Favorites Evan 'G-Man' Gardner [3-0] - Evan Gardner is somewhat of the good old fashioned wrestler. Take your opponent down to the mat, and smother him with collegiate wrestling techniques. Plus, the addition of ground and pound, as well as knockout power in his hands, it'll be difficult for somebody to defeat Evan Gardner in this tournament. 'The Fight Night Delight' Delroy Rhodes [6-0] - Delroy Rhodes is a solid kick-boxer with a good chin. With the momentum of six wins in a row. Very marketable, Delroy would be a good champion for the welterweight division. Louis De La Torre [3-0] - A solid ground and pound artist, the Mexican Louis De La Torre isn't just your good old ground fighter. With his ability to either take you down, or avoid your takedowns, Louis has the ability to dictate where the fight goes, and he's very good at it. Torquato Faoro [7-2] - Possibly the most experienced competitor in this stacked welterweight tournament. A solid Brazilian-Jiu-Jitsu competitor, Torquato has modified his game to become one of the more menacing welterweights that haven't been snatched up by ALPHA-1 or GAMMA. Torquato has the ability to dictate where fights go with his great takedown abilities, and against wrestlers, he has sub-par takedown defense, allowing him to bring the fight to the ground with ease. The Dark Horses Joshua Ziegler [5-1] - Joshua Ziegler is a welterweight who's on the tall side. Also very marketable, he'd make a very entertaining welterweight champion. With some elusive striking, his decent chin and decent takedown defense, Ziegler may be able to go all the way in this tournament. Tadashi Kimura [4-1] - Kimura is another in this tournament who can dictate where the fight goes. With great takedown defense and a great aptitude for taking people to the mat, Kimura may be able to out-wrestle anybody in this tournament. With good knockout power and elusiveness in his striking, Kimura could pull off an upset victory in this tournament leading him to his first championship. Iain 'The Elite' Fussell [3-0] - With his unique blend of Jiu-Jitsu and Striking, Fussell has great takedown defense to utilize his striking, and great takedown abilities to compliment his Jiu-Jitsu. Well-Rounded in most areas, and strong in others, it'll be difficult to see Fussell lose early in this tournament. His opening match against Tadashi Kimura should be one for the ages. Houston 'Furious' George [2-0] - Good takedowns, Knockout power, and excellent abilities to toss people around the ring, coupled with his core strength, George is a dangerous competitor and one who could go all the way in the tournament. The Rest of The Competitors Godofredo Tavora [3-0] - Tavora has the ability to toss guys around in his Muay Thai clinch, but unfortunately for him, that may be his only strong point against the other competitors in this tournament. Ronaldo Roncatto [3-0] - Roncatto already has a tough match ahead of him in Houston George, but with his unique skill-set, he may be able to pull off an upset. 'The Bone Collector' Jackson Mollusck [3-0] - Mollusck, has a good pedigree in submission grappling, and has been thrown in with the dogs in the main event of the welterweight opener. Mollusck may be able to pull off a string of wins in this tournament, but lacks the ability to pull off a championship victory. 'Orange Crush' Linton Berry [6-4] - Linton Berry is the most experienced competitor in the tournament, but unfortunately, Physical Skills and his chin are the only things he really has going for him. Keith 'Dodger' Jolly [3-0] - With his striking prowess, Keith Jolly will be able to put together some cool combinations in this tournament, but probably won't go very far. 'El Nino' Nelson Angelo [4-2] - Nelson Angelo has some decent boxing ability, and some good physical skills, but unfortunately, he'll probably be defeated in the main event of this welterweight opener. 'Red Fury' Pavel Radulov [3-0] - A Jack of All Trades, master of none, Radulov may win a match or two in this tournament, but probably will not make it to the finals. Anything can happen though. Paddy McNamara [3-0] - A decent striker and decent ground and pound artist, McNamara probably won't make it past his match against Evan Gardner, but a victory may prove to everybody that he may have the talent to go all the way.
