KFL: Friday Night Fights (February 27, 2015)

The opener was basically what we expected; a hard-fought contest between two guys looking for bigger opportunities. In the end, hydraslash proved to be too much to handle. Only time will tell if the result is productive, but they brought it tonight. Good match for both.

Struggling to find success as a unit, dibula & UlcaTron both scored singles wins this week. UlcaTron's win looked more impressive in a vacuum, but since he's previously shown himself as the stronger of the two, we're not that surprised. Still, there's something to be said for going out there and ending with your arm raised. Could be a real confidence builder going forward.

Count redman with the crowd who came to play this week! He looked strong, almost as if he and Zentile were not in the same league! Scoring a +4 impact is sure to make redman's direct competitors take notice. Perhaps he's ready to finally take that next step!

It would seem that the fighter who has benefited most from the calendar turning to 2015 is none other than zebraska! Dead last in the KFL last season, zebraska has already tripled his win total from 2014! Sitting at 3-2, he's currently just outside the league's top ten! However, I think it's best to bring him along slowly. No sense rushing him to the spotlight, only to get crushed.

Some fringe contenders strengthened their cases this week, with NovaStarr, jack4813, and Nephrite all picking up wins. Nephrite's victory was the best of the three, because it put an end to the 5-0 start of nightbreed_16! Not to take anything away from the formers, because they earned it out there too, but stopping an undefeated run really gives you a boost in the eyes of the fans. It did wonders for TNR when he defended his belt against the 8-0 record of 4avenger5, as he held it for another month after that match. This win is sure to spring Nephrite up the ladder! I don't think the defeat hurts nightbreed_16 too much; he'll just have to get back in line.

Looks like Shoe & Murdoink might have something to say about who the best team in the KFL is! Retaining their "United" moniker, they made it look fairly easy out there against two of the top dogs in the division, Jerrod & Killswitch. If this is the seeds of a rivalry being planted, I'm really excited to see where it goes.

LordSkarlet now stands alone as the only undefeated fighter in the KFL this season, though he's only just reached 3-0 now. A modest win streak to be sure, but because it's LordSkarlet it serves as notice to the other contenders. Defeating CTR is no easy task, and he got it done.

Two weeks after their Undisputed Championship encounter, m0s3pH and VenoMark collied again under the banner of the KFL! A real treat for the fans, the two heavy hitters put on a great match. Since VenoMark will be defending his belt next week, the match was non-title. Not sure the result does anything for either man right now, but it serves as a warm-up for the KFL Champion, who has not been in action since the tournament began.

I'm not sure that I had him picked from the start, but your new #1 Contender is DeathScepter! With the win, he also moves into the overall #1 rank, befitting of his title. I'm already looking forward to the title match next week! BMK has been a bit of a hard luck guy since originally going solo last year. He's back with Onryo now, but I've always wanted to see him take that next big step as a singles competitor. For now, it'll have to wait.

KFL: Friday Night Fights (February 20, 2015)

The undercard produced some tightly contested matches this week! If I didn't know better, I'd say these guys were championship caliber! SK9608 and zebraska had to give everything they had to defeat their respective opponents, tghuhyg19 and rick991! Tough losses for both men, but they'll recover.

Jironobou re-enters the win column with a decisive victory over TheMetinPorta! Joining him this week in the winners' circle is coltess, who fought off Chryo_Spyder in the latest chapter of their battle that has spilled over from 2014! We saw what coltess was capable of last year, but can he do it again? Can Jironobou reach even greater heights? We'll see!

MINION defeated Maridany in what was a bit of a surprise to me. Maridany had been on a bit of an upswing lately, but "The Manhunter" has fared surprisingly well since he and redman respectfully parted ways! Could this be the boost he needed to climb the ladder?

Triple threats are never easy, but when you show patience and resolve, they can be conquered! Enter kentei290, who allowed the fight between irulegames1234 and Zentle to play out before he struck! His record now better for it, he will set his sights on building momentum. Hard luck for irulegames1234, who really looked strong early on.

The unbeaten run continues! nightbreed_16 isn't the only competitor to rip off five straight wins to start the 2015 season (more on that in a bit), but his run has been supremely impressive nonetheless! A strong 2014 contender has said that he will be the one to end the streak, and he's going to do it this coming Friday! Who will it be?

In the night's only Duo match, the old guard proved to be too much once again! CCShadow & Scott-Howell have been winning matches in The Great Arena for what seems like forever, but they've shown no signs of slowing down! They'll have to watch out once Murdoink becomes a strong player for sure, though.

Good wins for MKRocket and Ninja_Mime this week. Both men appear destined for better results in 2015, and it would be a shame to see their talents go to waste. TTT and Philip94 have nothing to be ashamed of in defeat. They may not have had enough to win tonight, but they've both been to the top of the mountain before. They know what it takes to get and stay there.

The dream match (Jerrod vs. Killswitch) dies in the semifinals! However, we have another developing situation! BMK has now run his record in 2015 to 5-0 with the victory over Killswitch, matching that of nightbreed_16! Should he defeat DeathScepter and then go on to beat VenoMark for the KFL Championship, and nightbreed_16 remain undefeated, the table would be set for a title match of epic proportions! DeathScepter will get the first crack at playing spoiler, with his own designs of becoming the KFL Champion to boot! It's going to be a wild ride this Friday, folks!

KFL: Friday Night Fights (February 13, 2015)

As with any Friday the 13th, superstition ran rampant in The Great Arena! The participants who kept it out of their heads would be victorious! A slew of close matches opened the card, with the most notable being Murdoink's win over Asesino! Some would argue that the bout should have been further down the card, but I thought it really set the tone for the rest of the night! MINION, rick991, Methuselah6463, and subzero776 found similar success in the evening's early stages, and they've set themselves up for future success!

It was a tall task for Unknown265 & mwgrant0 to step in the ring with one of the most experienced teams The Great Arena has ever seen, and though they fought well, it showed. CCShadow & Scott-Howell would not be denied this week, striking down their foes with a solid +2 impact!

I wish I knew what it was that has consistently prevented Sekktor from reaching new heights, but that is of no consequence to Ghostdragon! We already know that he has what it takes to reach the summit, but can he speed past the other contenders on his way there?

On any other night, this match was worthy of a main event. Y2K, a powerhouse in the KFL, took on LordSkarlet, an opponent of similar stature. With both men left out of the contender tournament in the name of pushing new blood to the top, there were plenty of chips on their shoulders entering the night! In the end, it was LordSkarlet who came out on top, and convincingly so! The rematch potential is obvious, but when will it happen?

An excellent batch of quarterfinals closed the night, and we have a developing situation on our hands for one of the KFL's top duos! Jerrod and Killswitch each won their respective matches, putting them in the semis against DeathScepter and BMK, respectively. If they both win, they'll square off in the final to determine the #1 Contender! It's high drama, folks! We'll see you this Friday!

KFL: Friday Night Fights (February 6, 2015)

Nice to see JUST_A_TARKATAN open the card with a win. He had an up and down 2014 and so I'd really like to see him build some momentum moving forward.

The newly forged alliance between dibula and UlcaTron is having modest success so far, but they'll need more than that to top a more seasoned team in Unknown265 & mwgrant0! Sometimes you have to take your lumps before you rise to the top, and I think that's what we're seeing here.

nightbreed_16 was a curious omission from the announced #1 Contender tournament, but the snub did not discourage him in the least! He fought with the same ferocity as his other matches, and defeated kentei290 to stay perfect on the year! I like where this cat is going, folks!

Matches 4-11 were all first round matches in the tournament, and there were some hotly contested bouts here! Philip94 and MKRocket barely escaped with victories in their encounters, while Jerrod and Killswitch proved that they're just as effective in singles competition! 4avenger5 got a big revenge win over Nephrite to advance, and he'll be joined by Onryo, DeathScepter, and BMK in the quarterfinals! The competition heats up this Friday!

... and the hopefuls' final boss will be none other than "King" VenoMark! Under the volatile 3-way conditions, the champ left no doubt who the best man is when he deftly defeated both challengers! With his belt safe until a contender emerges from the field, he'll get some valuable time off to lick his wounds and prepare for the encounter. Good timing? Or will there be rust? Stay tuned!
