The King of the Ring's very first event was an eight-man tournament with many established fighters taking part. It was former IFC heavyweight champion "Rafford Mann" who eventually went on to win all three fights in one night to be crowned the inaugural "King of The Ring". The second King of the Ring Grand Prix took place in ULSA where also 8 new faces competed for a huge cash prize and a chance at a professional contract. The outcome became clear when Jackson Hayes knocked out all of his opponents and became the second King of the Ring champion in history. Following its evolution into its own entity, KOTR began hosting large-scale events in various venues around Los Santos. One of its primary locations was Fantasia.

    YET TO KILL ME

    Kenneth Nakagawa From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kenneth Nakagawa, also known as "Kenny" or "Ken" (born April 20, 2004) is a Japanese-American MMA-Fighter. Biography Early Life Kenneth was an orphan and troublesome youth, something which dettered prospective foster parents from adopting him. Once he graduated from high school at the age of sixteen, he left the Orphanage behind and moved into the Asian Community Center in Little Seoul. After moving out, Kenny spent a lot of time hanging around various communities, such as Little Seoul, South Central and El Burro. Shortly after he started to live in the ACC, Kenneth started visiting Gyms all over the City in order to maintain a good physique. In August of 2023 Kenneth started spending more time around Vespucci, due to his job at the Shingle Fish. During his employment there, he reconnected with an old friend, Jonathan Ishikawa. After reconnecting with Ishikawa, Kenneth was signed on as an amateur MMA fighter and spent his days training and polishing his techniques for his debut at the Rockford Dome.

  8. Explosive Action Unfolds at Bellicose MMA Event in Cypress Flats _______________ Price vs the Butcher Last night, the Sweathouse in Cypress Flats played host to an electrifying MMA event organized by Bellicose MMA, featuring intense matchups that kept the audience on the edge of their seats. One of the main attractions was the clash between Zhaire Price and Roy 'The Butcher' Mazza, a fight that ended in a clean knockout victory for Price. In an exclusive pre-fight interview, Zhaire Price revealed that his training camp leading up to the event had been exceptional, with SAFA champion Takenaka as his coach. When asked about his opponent, Roy 'The Butcher' Mazza, Price shrugged off any pre-fight banter, stating that he had never met Mazza but would soon face him in the octagon. As the tension escalated, Mazza confidently passed by, taunting Price with a menacing prediction. However, Price remained focused, expressing his determination to let his performance speak for itself in the cage. During the interview, Price also discussed his strategies and game plans for the fight, emphasizing his intention to dominate and showcasing his aggressive fighting style. The match unfolded as predicted, with Price securing a decisive victory, Event manager Derrick Chou praised Price's performance, highlighting his potential and natural comfort in the ring. Post-fight, Price attributed his success to his opponent's lack of preparation, citing the rookie status of Mazza. He capitalized on this vulnerability, employing a relentless offensive strategy that proved too much for 'The Butcher' to handle. Roy 'The Butcher' Mazza graciously acknowledged the defeat as a valuable lesson in his professional MMA journey. Determined to bounce back, Mazza expressed his availability for future fights, showcasing a resilient spirit despite the setback. _______________ Geisha vs Jad-ein Yong Unfortunately, the anticipated clash between Naoko 'Geisha' Mitsukuri and Ryeom 'Jad-eun Yong' Eui was canceled due to a car crash involving Mitsukuri. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family, hoping for a swift recovery. _______________ Kenny vs Rogov In a tumultuous matchup between Kenneth 'Kenny' Nakagawa and Michael Rogov, the fight concluded with a shocking technical knockout, leaving Rogov with a broken leg. The bout showcased the unpredictable nature of MMA, taking unexpected turns and keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. Nakagawa's victory was not without its challenges, as he initially struggled in the first round, resulting in a loss. However, the resilient fighter made a remarkable comeback in the second round, dominating his opponent with a display of skill and determination. The turning point occurred in a brutal performance in the round that followed. Nakagawa's aggressive strategy paid off, leading to the unfortunate injury sustained by Rogov—a broken leg that abruptly ended the fight. Post-fight, Michael Rogov gracefully acknowledged Nakagawa's prowess, recognizing him as a future champion. Despite the injury, Rogov praised Nakagawa's dominating performance in their previous encounter and admitted to focusing on rectifying his weaknesses leading up to this fight. Rogov acknowledged that, in the final round, Nakagawa's power proved insurmountable, resulting in the unfortunate leg injury he now faces. Rogov's words underscored the respect and recognition among fighters in the MMA community. Despite the setback, he expressed confidence in Nakagawa's potential and labeled him as an "unreal fighter" destined for the top of the MMA ranks. The aftermath of this intense battle leaves fans eagerly anticipating Nakagawa's future in the sport, as he continues to rise and make a lasting impression on the MMA scene. _______________ Bellicose MMA once again delivered an evening of unpredictable outcomes, reinforcing the sport's essence of resilience, skill, and unpredictability. As the fighters reflect on their performances, and fans eagerly await the next chapter, this event will undoubtedly be remembered as a thrilling showcase of MMA prowess and determination.

  13. SAFA Charity Fight Night & Ursus MMA Fight Night Recap: June 9th, June 16th Published by Scarlett Remington, 06/19/2023 Photography by Shun Nakamura, 06/09/2023, 06/16/2023 June 9th, Vespucci Sports Charity Fight Night - Full Gallery Link (Click Here) Starting with last week's knockout Charity event, SAFA’s first “Celebrity Cage Match”. The final event on the night's line-up, was ex-senator and casino mogul “Edgars Gudlevkskis” against his opponent, one of the city's top influencers, DJ Doux. For me it was incredibly unexpected, coming out of the left field, as it were. Before we could see this fight, however, there were two under-cards and a main event on SAFA’s weekly Fight Night. As usual we saw rookie amateurs and long time hobbyists well known at SAFA go head to head against each other. With four fights on the night's line up, I was in for a good show. Especially seeing as SAFA’s new host, Barry Dunn, returned to bring an air of showmanship to the combat event series. This week Adam Kaminski returned as referee, while his wife Noelle was among the judges panel, accompanied by experts Endymion Atlas, and Damian Samaras. Showing the promotions dedication to providing the best events possible, there was once again a bar catered by The Blue Lion. As well as betting available through pyramid-virtual.com, Pyramid Sports Betting. In the first fight, we were to see two rookies, Jaythan “The Javanese Juggernaut” Glediansyah, and Cody Hewitt. However it seemed a last minute drop out resulted in Jaythan needing replacement, seemingly he got cold feet which unfortunately also seems to happen a lot more than you’d think. Cody Hewitt, was apparently already replacing someone. Luckily, after a moment, we were blessed with Danijel “Munja” Aleksic in the octagon. Danijel is no rookie, and is well known around SAFA as a stiff competitor and skilled kickboxer. The first round started with both fighters testing each other's abilities, really taking it slow and trying to find an opening. Aleksic was a bit more aggressive than his opponent but Hewitt highlighted some great defensive tactics. At the end of the round Hewitt was looking steadily ahead, and after a brief moment we got right into round two. The second round was quick and full of furious strikes. Though rocked by the last round, Aleksic took a slow start in the second round. Hewitt, maintaining momentum, K.O’d his opponent in swift fashion with a stiff right hook. This meant Hewitt was walking away with his first SAFA victory under his belt. And while Aleksic didn’t show out the best tonight, he’s still without a doubt a name to look for on any fight card. Next up we have an Ex-Navy sailor from Portland, Oregon, Takenaka Kido. His opponent, Chechen warrior Malik Varayev is a known factor in the competition, a skilled wrestler. This is another rookie versus established amateur fight, though definitely not your average rookie, Kido’s Navy background lends him some credibility going into the sport. The Navy is renowned for their own fighting competitions, the most popular among servicemen and women being boxing. This led me to be pretty excited to see this fight, no longer are we seeing the average street brawler that you might come across at other promotions, the overall skill level at the competition is clearly on the rise. Heading into round one we see Takanaka start off defensively, he doesn’t want this wrestler to get him on his back. Likewise Varayev is careful of Takanaka’s takedown technique, he tries to strike from range and put Takanaka off balance. Takanaka keeps his cool and Varayev reaches the end of his tank and slows down at the end of the round, allowing Takanaka to score a takedown before the bell. Round two starts off in a furious exchange of combo’s from each side, though neither fighter can afford to keep that up. Takanaka creates some distance, Varayev pursues but is hammered by counter strikes as he tries to land hits on his opponent until finally one lands square on his cap and sends him tumbling to the mat unconscious. Takanaka takes the action packed bout with a spectacular knockout. In the last match before the charity event, the night's official Main Event, a five round fight between BJJ and Krav Maga technician Frank “Gyrene” Raynor and challenger Alexander Castillo, a SAFA newcomer. Though as we’ve seen from Zack Lucero’s debut, being a rookie doesn’t mean much because the team at SAFA clearly works hard to put people of similar skill levels in the ring together. Who knows where they found this newcomer, but if they gave him a main event I have no doubt that it’s going to be a show worth watching. The first of five rounds kicked off, right away the two are showing their skill and calculativeness as they probe one another for openings. They start off by trying to gain a few points, and seeing where they can completely overcome their opponents. Castillo finds his opening and drills into the opposition's defense. Round one ended with Castillo appearing a bit ahead, though it was still anyone’s match. The second round Castillo took the same approach, though this time Gyrene’s defense holds firm and he counters sternly, scoring a knockdown on his opponent in turn. The third round Castillo changed gears slightly, his fancy footwork and aggressive striking breaking through Gyrene’s defense in awe inspiring fashion. The fourth round was over incredibly fast, Castillo knocked out his opponent with a hard midsection shot. He was really working Gyrene’s abs this fight and it took the toll in the end, resulting in a hand raise for Castillo. First to be introduced in SAFA’s first Celebrity Cage Match, Edgars Gudlevskis, owner of acclaimed Pyramid Sports Bets. Of Latvian origin, Edgars is a well known businessman and politician in Los Santos, and is not someone I expected to see in the ring even if I had heard he was a fan of the sport. His opponent, frenchman and local music industry legend, Julian “Doux” Lebeau of AKAN Records, is also an MMA fan though similarly I am surprised to see him fighting here tonight. The winner's chosen charity will be taking home a healthy donation. As they make their way to the ring both men look excited, and well prepared. Neither of them has an air of nervousness about them, and it sounds like they’ve both been training hard for this moment. Round one starts and Doux comes out swinging on Edgars, who takes a rough looking punch to the face. Wasting no time however, Edgars strikes back with a right hook and clips Doux. They spend a second locked in a clinch, sending blows while grappling, then break apart and go straight back into throwing combos. The first round is extremely high octane, and both show skill as they deftly slip and counter strike each other's jabs. Doux maintains a slim points lead going into round two, he goes in on the bell extremely fast just like the first round, but this time Edgars slips and counter strikes. Doux takes the sign and changes up his strategy, both fighters take a slower approach trying to score points where they can without taking any hits themselves, but this mostly falls off as each exchange sees both fighters take a number of strikes from the others combo. The second round ends and Edgars has brought the score back neck and neck going into the final round. In the final round Edgars takes on a fully defensive strategy, purposefully staying on the back foot as Doux aggressively strikes in an attempt to punch right through Edgars’ guard. The crowd goes wild with cheers and jeers as the Referee gets between the fighters, Doux clearly out of breath and rocked. Both competitors showed grace and respect at the end of the fight, and took a moment to shout out their selected charities and announce an increase of donations, bringing the total dedication of this charity event to $400,000. All in all it was a truly spectacular event, the city should not sleep on any future SAFA events or you might miss out on a really great show. Plus with music from DJ Dano, and alcohol provided courtesy of The Blue Lion, makes the event a truly unique experience where you can get a good drink and watch an entertaining show. June 16th, Ursus MMA Fight Night - Full Gallery Link (Click Here) On to this week's event, where we saw more locals going head to head for the chance to be known as San Andreas’ best fighter. While we didn’t have a spectacle like the Celebrity Cage Match to look forward to tonight, we did have an entirely different treat. SAFA’s first ever female fight card, showing that the promotion only continues to grow. Another sign of the company's growth is that this event marks the move to 4 fight cards per night, expanding to 3 undercards and a main event. It was another amazing night with high energy host Barry Dunn, DJ Dano on the mix decks, Noelle Kaminska as Referee tonight and on the judges panel, Damian Samaras, Jackson Hayes, and Endymion Atlas. The first fight was the women's card, where we saw Amélie Lévesque face off against her opponent, Cleopatra Klaproth. Amélie is apparently a fighter from Montreal, a BJJ expert, and is known for cutting a path through the Bellicose circuit and dominating the competition. Cleopatra on the other hand, a Hawick local and self-proclaimed street fighter. Given the match ups we’ve seen at SAFA in the past I’m reluctant to count her out despite facing a decisively more ‘professional’ and technical opponent. Round one kicked off with a flurry of strikes from both sides. Each highlighting footwork, defense and counter striking. Watching the first round it was a lot closer than one might expect, in the end it was hard to determine if either had gained a lead and both women scored a knockdown. This seemingly put both fighters on notice as they both panicked to try and switch up their techniques several times in round two. Cleopatra however scored a knockdown and came up looking ahead on the fight cards at the end of the round. A bit more adjustment from Amélie in the third round, and perhaps a bit of exhaustion on Cleopatra’s side, meant that Amélie could score a final knockdown of her own before the clock ran out. After a moment of waiting for the Ref to consult the judges, a split decision had two judges scoring the fight as a draw. Though one judge, Jackson Hayes, scored 23-24, in favor of Klaproth. With the fight finished, Amélie Lévesque expressed disdain with having a draw on her record and loudly challenged Cleopatra to a rematch down the line, to which she happily accepted. In the second fight we saw Malik Varayev return to face off against Kendrick “Scarface” Robinson. Varayev, SAFA’s Chechen Warrior, is coming off a defeat last week and is clearly eager to show that he isn’t someone to count out. He’s training, and he’s after those main liners heads. His opponent, on the other hand, is coming off the back of a win in his debut match up, and is no doubt feeling confident in his ability to compete. This fight was quite the doozy, and it was over in a flash! Malik dominated his opponent in the first round, scoring a knockdown. The second round didn’t last much longer, Malik taking Scarface down and forcing a submission via a stunning rear naked choke, in what I believe is SAFA’s first submission finisher. As for the third fight of the night, we saw two sparring partners, Zack “The Spitfire” Lucero and Cody Hewitt go head to head. Zack, with one loss, zero wins, and Cody with the opposite record. The first two rounds were striking heavy, and mostly high action. Whereas by the end of the third round both fighters were slowly targeting one another, trying to run out the bell and win by the grace of the judges scores. This tactic paid off for Lucero, who was unanimously declared victor by the judges score. The final fight of the night was SAFA super star, Sam Morris, against Alexander Castillo. Both have proven to be some of the toughest competitors the state has ever seen. Castillo is a LS county Deputy and a Kickboxing aficionado. As for his opponent, Morris is a long time hobbyist and student of VS MMA, a wrestling and boxing knockout. The event kicks off and Morris puts on the heat against Castillo. They take four rounds, but Castillo struggles to keep up on the scorecards, he takes a knockdown in round three but gets knocked out in round four. It’s clear as one of SAFA’s best, Morris is striving to improve, and eventually challenge Yang for a rematch. Yang is without debate at the top of the MMA circuit at the moment, boasting an undefeated record in SAFA. But with that another show stopping smackdown of an event comes to an end, and I can honestly say it remains as one of the most enjoyable ways to spend a Friday night in Los Santos.

QUINCEY HECTOR COLEMAN 25/07/1997 (23 Y/O) 5'10'' | 198lbs Quincey Hector Coleman, also known as "QC" was born on the 25th of July 1997 in Pillbox Hospital, Los Santos. For the entirety of his life he has lived in Chamberlain Hills on Crystal Heights, also known as Eight Tray. By the age of 12 Quincey was serving crack and heroin on the block, this quickly spiralled out of control and soon enough Quincey was a stone-cold killer; unable to even feel remorse. He was left blind in his left eye after being slashed across the face with a 15'' blade during a brawl after stabbing a rival gang member in the chest. On the 9th of November 2015, Quincey and his younger cousin Taylor Wallace robbed a gas station at gun point. The police quickly responded and the duo was arrested, Quincey was sentenced to 5 years in prison where he was recruited to the black car and spent the majority of his time working out in the yard and getting into brawls, trying to secure himself notoriety as a young Hoover crim. Following Quincey's release from prison in early 2021, he was promoted to an OTG by high ranking members of the gang, and he started working at Vespucci Sports as a trainer. During this time Quincey spent numerous hours everyday training to become a professional MMA fighter, whilst holding down the set.
