"Great fucking timing Kevin, he didn't see it coming. Just be patient and DO NOT get caught. Be very careful out there and methodical." I took the same approach as I take with Carl here since I need him to play safe and for the judges. Kevin doesn't have Carl's chin but he is quite skilled.

Kevin Ljung wins by Submission (Armbar)

Kevin extends his MMA career with this victory, and I am very PROUD that he was able to pull out the win. Kevin has to be feeling good about himself now, and hopefully those knock outs he suffered early came down to bad luck. I'm PRAYING! Anyways, signed a three fight extension with Cage Fighters and hope to do some good things.

Gabe "Vegan Surfer" Andersson wins by Submission (Rear Naked Choke)

I ... I can't believe it. Gabe put in the hard work and finally got rewarded. Andersson was in tears when he took a hold of the belt ... Could it be that he actually truly cares about mixed martial arts and isn't just some surfing beach bum? God damn it Gabe, you're going to make me cry too.

Got a call from ABC that they are interested in Gabe should he win his next title defense. It would be massive for Gabe if he held onto the title once, and it's about time he graduates from the Jscrap organization. It took him nearly 25 fights but this experience can only help him. If he loses? Probably back to Jscrap so he can develop his fundamentals.

John Warner wins by Unanimous Decision

John Warner is the real deal, much more dominating than I had expected. Infact i'm pretty certain he is an EFC destined fighter that can contend for the belt given his immense power. I was a bit worried watching his previous fights, but my suspicions were confirmed. He's stronger than Carl and showed impeccable balance and a tenacious pace. Wang needs to continue to improve. He's back out of title contention and fight other fighters to prepare.

"He's not on the same level as you Gabe, just stick to the gameplan and keep the pressure up. You can rest up in the 4th a little if you can win this next one." Vinnie is a promising kid, but perhaps a mistake for him to challenge the Champion so early in his career.

Gabe "Vegan Surfer" Andersson wins by Submission (Rear Naked Choke)

Andersson has shown a lot of growth, especially in his last two fights. We sat down and signed with the Absolute Beatdown Championship which would be a FIRST for Gabe. 24 fights, all apart of Jungle Scrap. They have treated Gabe well and clearly had the most talent produced from that BW division. Becker has the title in ABC, seems like a decent challenge but Gabe needs to feel out his ability at this level first.

Adrian Steele wins by Unanimous Decision

Kevin didn't do anything that third round and was constantly on the defensive so I can't be too upset with the result. A few issues to work on but we can get through it. His 1-3 record doesn't look great but he's still training his ass off.

Khush Lahti wins by KO (Punch)

Shit. Kevin got ABSOLUTELY blitzed in the second round and crushed. He just couldn't keep up, and got outclassed standing. It'd tough to fathom but with his record at 1-4? Not a good look. One fight left on the contract and I got a call. Booked a rematch, why? Because I friggin' hate Finns.

"Kevin, you're looking good but take him to the ground. Don't play his game you know? You're murdering him." Kevin looked ... Amazing standing up but this just reminds me of the last fight.

Khush fucked up and took the fight to the ground and got demolished. Simple as that. Kevin did -really- well here, but we all decided at the gym that he will take some time off. Charlie retired, but Kevin is just taking a big break. He has a good thing going with his fitness guide and ... Sign up for his training program today!

Caco Linekar wins by Submission (Cobra Choke)

Our surfer got choked out by the Brazilian in his ABC debut but i'm not too upset. Gabe did his best and came up short, happens. I thought his Champion's momentum would make a difference but it wasn't enough. Gabe's clearly better than Charlie and Kevin, but lacks the star power of Sammy Boy and the dedication of Carl.

Gabe "Vegan Surfer" Andersson wins by Submission (Rear Naked Choke)

Allen is no joke on the ground, so it's great that Gabe pulled through in this one. Handy work by our Vegan. He stayed true and persevered before slipping in the choke. He's improving steadily and i'm glad he can finally compete with those ABC caliber guys.

Sam Danielsson wins by Submission (Rear Naked Choke)

Sammy boy looked fucking good in that bout. The fact that Danielsson can KO people and put them to sleep? He has a lot of potential. Anyways, I got another call ... We got a title shot offer against Hans Swanson, who Danielsson once beat for the UNO Championship so it should be a great main event.
