2016 was a breakout year for the man called Poasty, but it wasn't all smooth sailing. His enthusiasm for the fight nearly cost him his career -- and did cost him his first reign as Division 2 Champion!
After his title comeback was thwarted during Tournament 75, Poasty finally got a shot at the title he never lost at Supercard 87: End Of Days. Murdoink taunted him into answering an Open Challenge, even as the traumatic memory of a violent history haunted Poasty into near submission! The result was a bitter brush with the gold - a loss to a defeat Poasty had beaten cleanly three times!
This year, Poasty has thrown himself back into competition - overcoming his hesitance to make the Semi Final of the 2017 Grand Slam Launch! He appears to be in the best shape of his career, and it can come as no surprise that he's using that leverage to issue a rematch challenge to his tormentor!
The Division 2 Championship match becomes the first official bout added to the Battle Royale 2017 card! The event is the first exciting Supercard on the UGP Season calendar, headlined by the annual 40-fighter Battle Royale to determine the #1 Contender to the Undisputed Championship in the main event of Ultimate Grand Prix!
Supercard 88: Battle Royale (January 29th, 2017):
- 40-fighter Battle Royale for an Undisputed Championship shot at Ultimate Grand Prix.
- Poasty versus United: Murdoink (c) [Division 2 Championship]
