Welcome again fight fans this is your ringmaster of MMA madness FKA I hope you've enjoyed the process thus far as it continues tonight with the official announcement of the first round matchups for the SHERDOG HW WORLD CUP OF MMA.

(Note all rankings are related to the promotion seeding not fighter seeding)also (C)= Champion

Before we announce the matchups let's announce the Rules,round time,and judging criteria as well as the arena it will be held in....

The fights will be held in a circular cage,judged under PRIDE rules, judging criteria,and round timing meaning that matches will consist of three rounds; the first will last ten minutes and the second and third will last five minutes. Intermissions between each round will be two minutes long.Also the fight will be judged on a whole not round by round and kicks,stomps,knees to downed opponents are legal while elbows are not allowed at all until the finals.



All of the following fights were selected by me accept for the first fight that's been announced in real life.The brackets aren't set but fights are I will set the order of bouts tomorrow my battery is wearing out.




#4(ONE FC)(C)Brandon Vera 15-7
VS
#13(Cage Warriors)(C)Mauro Cerilli 12-2

This matchup Pits a seasoned veteran against a surging up and comer in a champion vs champion matchup.This fight was announced in real life on Nov 23 so this bout won't require a voting process.


#10(RIZIN)Mirko Crocop 37-11

VS
#7(Akhmat Fight Club)Aleks Emelianenko 28-7

This fight is a rematch years in the making.Both guys are well known veterans of the sport who are still around looking good first fight crocop finished Aleks.Can Aleks get redemption or will Crocop make it 2-1 against the emelianenko Bros?


#1(UFC)(C)Daniel Cormier 21-1
VS
#5(ACB)Amir Aliakbari 9-1

This is a very interesting matchup seeing 2 high level Olympic level wrestlers faceoff.Who will impose their gameplan and get the win?Can DC stop the takedowns?Can Amir deal with the striking and wrestling of DC?


#2(BellatorMMA)Ryan Bader 26-5
VS
#3(PFL)Phillipe Lins 13-3

Oddly enough in a fight that would have been at 205 a year or so ago will be held at 265 and the winner is likely the favorite of the Cup.Can Bader handle the power punches and can Lins keep the fight standing?These guys have both looked excellent since moving up to Hw.


#11(RoadFc)Mighty Mo 12-6

VS
#19(TKO)(C)Cyril Gane 2-0

Both men posses accomplished standup careers and both men like to showcase their standup in the cage.This fight will be about who can dictate the distance and pace.The JBGs will definetly be satisfied with this matchup.


#17(EFC)(C)Dalcha Lunggiambula 9-1
VS
#16(Pancrase)Hikaru Sato 24-24

This fight is pretty much how long can Sato stay conscious as Dalcha is a beast and Sato is a warrior but likely outmatched.(I can't bring myself to falsely hype a man wearing a kitten outfit lol)


#12(RCC)Ivan Shtyrkov 13-0
VS
#20(Combate Americas)Tony Lopez 61-29

Ivan is a power fighter looking for a signature win and Tony is an aged vet looking to prove hes still dangerous.Can Tony has him and finish him or will Ivan knock Tony dead early with his power?



#6(KSW)(C)Phil De Fries 16-6
VS
#18(BRAVE FC)Fabiano Silva 6-1

Defries is a grappling specialist and Silva is a very highly decorated grappler meaning this fight could be a spectacular display of grappling or a snoozefest.Who gets the takedown and whose groundgame will prevai?


#15(DEEP)(C)Roque Martinez 12-4
VS
#9(FIGHT NIGHTS)Mikhail Mokhnatkin 11-2

Mikhail just lost his first title bid and Roque had a stumble against Crocop.Both guys are hungry to get back on the winning track and both guys have great rounded skillsets definetly one of my favorite matchups.


#17(Jungle Fight)Roggers Souza 8-0
VS
#8(M-1 Global)Nikolay Savilov 13-3

Nikolay and Roggers are successful regional fighters looking to make the next step in their careers in this Cup.They both posses well rounded dangerous ability and is a very even and intriguing matchup that could go either way.

what's the point of this DC wins easy

Not necessarily true and I'm doing this cuz I enjoy it and no matter the outcome it will help in future rankings for other projects I got in mind.it will get much more interesting as we drop down in weight classes.No ones forcing you to post in here that's why I only tagged who I have.....

Anyones welcome to have fun and give their opinion.

DC would be a favorite but honestly Bader is no joke and it's a fist fight you just never know what can happen.

Tomorrow I'll do more enhanced fight breakdowns hopefully with videos of fights to give a better idea of skillset.

And try to figure out if I can get a poll for the first fight to begin if not I will figure something out.

Thx for participation guys!!!
