His success in Tournament 63: Grand Slam Launch 2016 took many by surprise, and has left some questioning the quality of the win amidst a raft of early upsets. Never the less - ElJobber is the first major tournament winner of the year, and that's grounds enough for officials to name him the #1 contender for the Undisputed Championship!
ElJobber will face reigning Undisputed Champion Hokey in his first title defense of 2016 at Supercard 74: Battle Royale! This year's annual incarnation takes place January 24, 2016.
It'll be a fresh match-up for Hokey, who had a memorable 2015 feuding in headlining matches with the likes of: Genku, DECEPTION, Mime, Baraka_MK & Onryo and CaTigeReptile. It will also break the streak of status quo for the 40-fighter Battle Royale match!
ElJobber is one of only two fighters to have appeared in every Battle Royale match to date! He's a 2-time winner of the annual event, taking victory in 2011 and 2014. Hokey will also leave a Battle Royale record undefended as the winner of the most Battle Royale qualifying matches in history!
It's shaping up to be a big year of change! More match announcements are sure to come over the next two weeks as UGP Season gets into full swing. Stay tuned!
