Champions: The Grand Path to Greatness

It came completely without warning! A Division 2 Championship challenge during this week's Friday Night Fights that earned The Great Genku his first reign through the defeat of Benjamin!

For a fighter who was just competing for an Undisputed Championship match at the Spring Classic - it seemed like a bizarre left turn! As many know, there is more than one path to greatness, and as it turns out - there was method to Genku's madness!

With his unexpected title victory, the self-proclaimed "Great" one joins an elite list of fighters who've won all four major championships during their careers! Genku is only the third fighter to achieve the feat, completing the fourth "Grand Slam Title" collection on record!

The sudden nature of such a history making moment reminds us that just about anything can happen in The Great Arena! Genku's next challenge will be defending his Division 2 Championship, starting with a title rematch on the next Friday Night Fights - May 6th!
