Keeping alive the tradition begun at UGP2011, a special Grand Prix Battle Royal has been among the first matches announced to Test the Best at the coming supercard spectacular, Ultimate Grand Prix 2012!
With an as yet unannounced number of participants, the multi-man match will include an eclectic mix of fighting talent, new and old! Three big names are already confirmed for the brawl, setting the tone for a main event spectacle! Tournament 12 Runner-Up, Violent`J, was joined during the week by former Undisputed Champion, Ninja_Mime, and NM rival and arena veteran, DeathScepter!
Five more entrants can now be confirmed, adding even more flavour to the mix!
Exciting newcomers, Statix and chaos_Drone, will look to make more ripples on the back of their impressive Tournament 12 Quarter Finals appearance, already versed in challenging some of the biggest names in the league, in a short time. Changing faces of the Next Phase will be represented in KFL #1 fighter and Championship contender, jack4813, opposite his predecessor and aging counterpart, Jammer2Omega! Rounding out the additions, kingjolly -- inspirational fighter who made a splash during TonyTheTiger's Championship World Tour, competing during the African leg of the rare opportunity.
The battle royal match type is renowned for elevating the status of the fighters who win it. The most famous instance is the annual forty-man Battle Royale, which this year delivered King Mimik to the UGP main event, where he will face reigning three-time Undisputed Champion, Crow. 2011 Grand Prix Battle Royal winner, Ratt, was also delivered to top contender status, his win establishing the "Iron Man" moniker that will be at the centre of his UGP2012 match, the first ever Iron Man Grand Prix Endurance match against "Iron Menace" and Battle Royale 2011 winner, ElJobber.
