The Armbar Mega Freakshow Heaven Extravaganza...... Quarter Final Bracket!

OK Guys. Here it is, the monumental event you have all been waiting for.

The quarter final fights have been randomly drawn however the tournament will take an early UFC format with the winners of quarter finals 1+2 fighting, winners of quarter finals 3+4 fighting. Fights take place in a ring over 3x5 minute rounds, kicks and knees to the head of a downed opponent ARE allowed.

I will add some undercard fights from those who just missed out just for fun, on the semi final and finals shows losers from previous rounds will be included in undercard fights.

VOTE for who you believe would win and how (KO, Submission or decision) and in what round you beleieve they would win. Remember all fighters are considered in their prime for this tournament.

Good luck to all competitors!

UNDERCARD FIGHT 2: MARIUSZ PUDZIANOWSKI (Strongman) VS RICKSON GRACIE (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu)

UNDERCARD FIGHT 3: TIM SYLVIA (MMA) VS JEROME LE BANNER (Kickboxing)

OK Here are my votes!

QUARTER FINAL 1: KIMBO SLICE (MMA) VS HONG-MAN CHOI (Kickboxing/MMA)
---------
Choi takes this for me due to his reach andvantage and better rounded striking. He May get rocked if kimbo gets inside, but I have to say CHOI KO 3

QUARTER FINAL 2: JIM "THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR" HELLWIG (Pro wrestling) VS DAVID "TANK" ABBOTT (Pitfighting)
----------------------------
Warrior comes into this one with a lot of energy and a lot of strength, Abbott with experience and punching power, neither with cardio lol. this fight lasts less than 1 minute and Tank takes it by KO1

QUARTER FINAL 3: DUNCAN FERGUSON (Association Football) VS IKUHISA "The Punk" MINOWA (AKA Minowaman) (Pro wrestling/MMA)
----------------
I was very excited to see this fight drawn! was hoping it would be! Ferguson has reach,size, possible strength advantages but zero fight experience. Minowa has submissions, technique, experience and the ability to beat massive opponents. Big dunc comes out swinging and back minowa up with looping hard shots, Minowa Eats one, drops and grabs a leg, slapping on a heelhook for a submission win in R1.

QUARTER FINAL 4: ERIC "BUTTERBEAN" ESCH (Boxing) VS BOB SAPP (MMA)
-----------------------
SLUGFEST! Both men walk to the centre of the ring, drop their hands and swing for the fences. There's no finesse her and the crowd love it. Eventually Butterbeans KO power tells and he wins KO1

UNDERCARD FIGHT 1: SEMMY SCHILT (Kickboxing) VS HARD GAY (Pro Wrestling)
-----------------
Schilt by legalised murder. Or KO1 if you prefer.

UNDERCARD FIGHT 2: MARIUSZ PUDZIANOWSKI (Strongman) VS RICKSON GRACIE (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu)
--------------
Gracie by Submission R1

UNDERCARD FIGHT 3: TIM SYLVIA (MMA) VS JEROME LE BANNER (Kickboxing)
------------------------
Le Banner KO2

This looks a great tournament!!! few questions before the predicitons...

Are we still doing it for fighters Primes? Reason I ask is because all these guys could still fight at their age and it might make things more interesting.

What is it being fought in? Ring or Cage?

What happens with the winners of the undercard fights?

-------------------------------
I think we should stick with Primes. certain fighters in the tournament, for example Choi and Tank Abbott, are passed their prime and the Ultimate Warrior is in his 50s and not in the kind of shape he was back in '90 lol, so as this is a fantasy tourney I think we can take that into consideration. If you want to predict as of now theres nothing to stop you though! your decision!

The fights take place in a ring.

Winners of undercard fights fight randomly drawn losing quarter finalists on the undercard of the Semi final show.

Hope this helps!

Cool I suppose it would be better to see Prime Warrior and Gracie! A ring is the Place for Freakshows I suppose!!!

Ok, here are my picks...

QUARTER FINAL 1: KIMBO SLICE (MMA) VS HONG-MAN CHOI (Kickboxing/MMA) _ 1st round KO Choi, I see Kimbo being kneed square in the Jaw, Seeing as Its prime, Choi a couple of years ago was nearly untouchable on the feet. A huge teep sends Kimbo into the ropes, Kimbo bounces back but cant connect wit Choi's jaw... gets put in a Thai Clintch eats a Giant Knee and its lights out. Choi takes the win and looks good doing so, finishing the fight good and early without taking a punch to the face makes he look an early favorite.

QUARTER FINAL 2: JIM "THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR" HELLWIG (Pro wrestling) VS DAVID "TANK" ABBOTT (Pitfighting) - Tank Starts strong rocking warrior but in s steroid induced rage Warrior tosses Tank to the ground and rains down clumbsy clubbing blows, Using his strength to keep tank on his back!! Warrior pounds a defenceless tank out! Big upset of the night, Warrior 1sr tound TKO. Warrior has the upest win but looks a little Dazed after the fight after eating a few Tank Hayemakers

QUARTER FINAL 3: DUNCAN FERGUSON (Association Football) VS IKUHISA "The Punk" MINOWA (AKA Minowaman) (Pro wrestling/MMA) - Rolling Kneebar... SNAP... broken leg... Ferguson with the sub win!! Only joking! Minowa snapps Fergusons leg ending his fighting and football career! Minowa 1st round Sub, Minowa takes the win untouched

QUARTER FINAL 4: ERIC "BUTTERBEAN" ESCH (Boxing) VS BOB SAPP (MMA) - Both men excange and Sapps gets the worse of it, Sapp bull rushes and puts Bean on his back were he is a fish out of water, Sapp hammerfists away with Bean using his limited groundgame to save himself but the bell rings saving Bean. 2nd round and both men trade again, Sapp has gassed and his hands are by his waits then BOOM a Huge hook from Bean ends Sapps night. Bean comes off with the win but a swolen face and a bit puffed

UNDERCARD FIGHT 1: SEMMY SCHILT (Kickboxing) VS HARD GAY (Pro Wrestling) - Schilt doesnt look impressed by his leather clad opponent, A look of Disgust and a spinning heel kicks ends this fiht at the 11second mark leaving Hard Gay with broken ribs and making him think twice about MMA! If only he had of got Sapp he might have had a chance he thinks! Schilt comes out of this un touched

UNDERCARD FIGHT 2: MARIUSZ PUDZIANOWSKI (Strongman) VS RICKSON GRACIE (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) Gracie needs this one to go to the ground but can he take down the most powerfull figher in the competition, 190lbs Gracie has a lot of trouble bringing down the 320lbs Mariusz, Mariusz is having trouble getting a hold of Gracie but the clintch and he lands some hard shots on the inside, Gracie gets badly bust up by the heavy blows and circles away was round 1 ends, round 2 starts and Gracies agains clintches and takes a few big shots trying to take the fight down, Bleading heavily he scores a leg trip and Mariuszs stands figth back up... but Gracie is on his back... He sinks in the rear nakes on Mariusz huge neck... after near a minute of choking Mariusz falls to 1 knee and tapps... a badly bust up gracie takes the sum win in the 2nd

UNDERCARD FIGHT 3: TIM SYLVIA (MMA) VS JEROME LE BANNER (Kickboxing) - Le Banner starts skipping into a huge leg kicks which nearly topples Sylvia, Timmeh back off throwing the jab to delay the enevitable, Le Banner lands another chopping leg kicks followed by a heavy combo that drops Tim... Le Banner backs off to let Tim back up... Tim slowly gets up to his feet looking shaken, Again Le Banner skips into a kick right into Tims ribs this time... Tim Hits the deck and LE Banner pounces this time pounding Tim out in the 1st, Le banner wins the undercard figth only eating a few jabs.

Good fight descriptions Ben! I really wanna see Pudzianowskivs Gracie now lol!

I was half tempted to go for a Mariusz win (Just to see him vs The Ultimate Warrior!!), I think Gracie would have a hard job getting the big man down, But we havnt seen him fight yet so gave Gracie the benefit of the doubt for now!!

QUARTER FINAL 1: KIMBO SLICE (MMA) VS HONG-MAN CHOI (Kickboxing/MMA)-Choi UD

QUARTER FINAL 2: JIM "THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR" HELLWIG (Pro wrestling) VS DAVID "TANK" ABBOTT (Pitfighting)- Tank ko rd 1

UNDERCARD FIGHT 1: SEMMY SCHILT (Kickboxing) VS HARD GAY (Pro Wrestling)- schilt ko rd 1

UNDERCARD FIGHT 3: TIM SYLVIA (MMA) VS JEROME LE BANNER (Kickboxing)- le banner ko rd 1

Ive a feeling eveyone is going to pick the exact same results! I just threw the Warrior upset in there to be different!

maybe but i think the butterbean/sapp fight and gracie vs pudzianowski could go either way imagine if this happened for real that would be great

Id love to watch this in real life.

QUARTER FINAL 1: KIMBO SLICE (MMA) VS HONG-MAN CHOI (Kickboxing/MMA)-

Standup war, Choi's reach advantage is too much. Or Choi could probably beat Kimbo on the ground.

Result-Choi UD

QUARTER FINAL 2: JIM "THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR" HELLWIG (Pro wrestling) VS DAVID "TANK" ABBOTT (Pitfighting)-

Tank too much

Result-Tank KO round 1

QUARTER FINAL 3: DUNCAN FERGUSON (Association Football) VS IKUHISA "The Punk" MINOWA (AKA Minowaman) (Pro wrestling/MMA)

Minowa the master of the freak show.

Result-Minowa by sub round 1



QUARTER FINAL 4: ERIC "BUTTERBEAN" ESCH (Boxing) VS BOB SAPP (MMA)-

SLUGFEST time. Sapp too big here.

Sapp Ko round 2 (just to be different)

UNDERCARD FIGHT 1: SEMMY SCHILT (Kickboxing) VS HARD GAY (Pro Wrestling)-

This is a toughie

Schilt by murder round 1


UNDERCARD FIGHT 2: MARIUSZ PUDZIANOWSKI (Strongman) VS RICKSON GRACIE (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu)- gracie sub rd 1

Maybe FOTN here. We get to see if Gracie is the real deal. Pudzianowski dominates the fight, keeping it standing but gasses and gets taken down late on and...

Result- Gracie by sub round 3

UNDERCARD FIGHT 3: TIM SYLVIA (MMA) VS JEROME LE BANNER (Kickboxing)

Syliva too cocky and gets KTFO

Result-Le Banner by KO round 1

Thats True Sapp in his "Prime" Beat hoost I suppose and he would have a decent chance of beating Bean... IM just too much of a Bean fan to see it any other way than bean KO! Has anyone seen them fight in a Sumo match? Sapp is far far stronger!

Im seriously tempted to go for a Mariusz win here because I think he would be the more interesting option, him vs Bean or Tank or someone would be quality!!

** Results Edited **

UNDERCARD FIGHT 2: MARIUSZ PUDZIANOWSKI (Strongman) VS RICKSON GRACIE (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) Gracie needs this one to go to the ground but can he take down the most powerfull figher in the competition, 190lbs Gracie has a lot of trouble bringing down the 320lbs Mariusz, Mariusz is having trouble getting a hold of Gracie but the clintch and he lands some hard shots on the inside, Gracie gets badly bust up by the heavy blows and circles away was round 1 ends, round 2 starts and Gracies agains clintches and takes a few big shots trying to take the fight down, Bleading heavily he scores a leg trip and Mariuszs stands figth back up... but Gracie is on his back... He sinks in the rear nakes on Mariusz huge neck... after near a minute of choking Mariusz falls to 1 knee and ... no he doesnt tap he reaches back and throws Gracie over his head, Gracie gets up only to meet a huge right straight... Gracie stumbles back into the corner as the bell rings. Between rounds the Doctors are taking a close look at Gracies face, his eyes puffed out and bleeding. ding ding, round 2 kicks off and Mariusz bulls Gracie into the Corner, Again he locks in a single collar tie pulling Gracies head down, a series of uppercuts make the ref jump in and hault the fight... Mariusz is breathing very heavy, he comes out with the Huge upset but the choke and the 2 rounds have taken their toll on the big man. Mariusz wins at TKO in the 2nd.

QF1 HMC by KO Rd 1 (head kick) - first exchange of the night and Kimbo is out cold

QF2 Ultimate Warrior by KO Rd 1 (slam) - Tank rushes the Ultimate Warrior who uses his momentum to crush him with a devastating power slam

QF3 Minowaman by DQ (illegal headbutts) - very cagey opening by both fighters, with Big Dunc finding his range, pushing away from the clinch and booting Minowa every time he shoots. The constant clinching frustrates Dunc so much, he flattens Minowa with a huge headbutt and gets disqualified. He kicks the ref in the nuts on the way out of the ring and ends up in court on assault charges....

QF4 Butterbean by sub Rd 2 (smother) - both fighters swinging for the hills in the first round, not really connecting with much. The beginning of the second round is the same but they are both gassing hard now. Bean connects with a short right that knocks Sapp down and he follows him to the mat, controlling an arm and burying Sapps face in his belly. Sapp taps before being drowned in flesh...

UC1 Schilt by KO Rd 1 (elbow) - surprisingly Hard Gay has a little bit of wrestling skill, and after a clinch, Hard Gay looks to take Schilts back. Semmy ain't having a Hard Gay anywhere near his back, and breaks the clinch and elbows Hard Gay to oblivion

UC2 Pudzianowski by UD - boring fight, Mr Muscle keeps it standing by backing off with jabs and staying away from the clinch by picking Rickson up and throwing him across the ring.

UC3 Le Banner by KO Rd 1 - see HMC vs Kimbo

No way Gracie subs Pudsey!! Even his wrists are too thick to get hold of, and getting his neck would be like trying to RNC an oak tree!

I can see a messy battle with Gracie getting the decision due to being evasive and at least attempting subs, but if Mariusz' karate is as passable as it's rumoured to be and he lands even one shot then we could see lights out for Rickson!

I can't wait to see Mariusz' debut, it must only be a few weeks away?

nah Rickson is a legit heavyweight and one of the best grapplers of all time. he subs pudzian easy.

IM just too much of a Bean fan to see it any other way than bean KO! Has anyone seen them fight in a Sumo match? Sapp is far far stronger

Ye ive seen it several times. Sapp is far sronger but remember that Sapp played in the NFL so he had a major advanatge. While Bean is more suited to sumowrestling, Sapp had previous experience in that sort of that thing.

Bean was funny after it he said thats Sumo.. Id knock him out in MMA or something like that! I reckon he would too.

Hi guys as I am back to full fitness now will collate the votes wednesday morning. Voting closes then!
