With his two gold medals, "The Chosen One" Damo was arguably the biggest gainer in terms of rankings. Benjamin asserted himself as well, as both a member of The Dream Team (USA), and a returning Division 2 Champion! Politics has been fighting solo in the memory of Menas for two months now, honoring him exceptionally well by breaking into the Top 10!
Damo may've made an impact through Olympic team bouts, but he was all alone at All-Star Summer Showdown when he suffered a brutal defeat. A violent Steel Cage Fight took a few chunks out of VenoMark, even though he walked away the victor. His Olympic Battle Royal elimination of impressive reigning Undisputed Champion DECEPTION will set him up as one of several former champs on the hunt for the title at Supercard 83: Night of Champions V! After his big win, Kron formally made it known he'll enter the contender battle royal. ElJobber and Hokey are also likely to ride big wins toward the one-night title quest. The Great Genku will inevitably seek the opportunity to get another shot after disappointing in the All-Star Summer Showdown main event.
Indeed, the Undisputed Championship race keeps getting more crowded -- while the surprise win for "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J keeps them in a league of their own as Duo Division Champs! The most compelling title arguments belong to fresh 2-on-2 prospect "The New Generation" Baraka_MK & Onryo, and perennial contenders: "The United" Shoe & Artanix!
Sadly, the Duos will have to wait their turn. August has been a dizzying month for action and it isn't quite done! The schedule will be cleared this week to make way for Tournament 73: 2016 Summer Grand Slam -- the final 128 fighter tournament for the year! Reigning Undisputed Champion DECEPTION and rival Genku will enter the randomized bracket as #1 and #2 seeds, fighting for the prestigious honor of claiming the Summer Grand Slam crown! Stay tuned for full coverage!
