Friday Night Fights (December 23, 2016)

The final Friday Night Fights of 2016 was a relatively sedate affair, free from The Invasion attacks that have turned it into an escalating war zone. Only one representative made his way back to FNF in the chill of December, to settle a score as rooted in personal desire, as faction loyalty.

"American Nightmare" LordSkarlet was on top of the world when former KFL Champion Statix arrived to challenge him during last week's Monday Night Invasion. Intent on ending the year right, LordSkarlet requested a rematch. It was a much closer struggle, but LordSkarlet still found himself edged out by The Alliance fighter. Even so, he accepted the holiday defeat, looking forward to the uncertain future of the next year.

There was a sense of symmetry to the final weekly event of the year. Just as they did during the first for the year, "Portuguese Pegasus" Zentile and United: Murdoink did battle for the Division 2 Championship. The roles were reversed. This time it was Murdoink defending the title, having been the only champion to defend their title at End Of Days. It was an incredibly close battle, but just as it had way back in January, the match went the way of Murdoink.

Next week will see the 2016 Master's Series unfold over five days of action. Reserved for the Top 16 ranks of the year, Jammer2Omega and Porygonix were given the opportunity to qualify for the event, requiring victory in individual matches against Mark and Leroy. J2O maintained his win/loss advantage over Porygonix, putting Mark down with a +2 impact. The dual victories mean both of the Duo Division stars will qualify for the annual Round Robin!

Koalition allies "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile and "The New Generation" DECEPTION, Baraka_MK & Onryo watched over all events in the snow covered coliseum. Their intervention - unrequired on a relatively peaceful, quiet winter's night. They shared a warm moment, just enjoying the atmosphere without worry.
