Lightweight
The LW Division has lost quiet a few fighters in the past week which makes calling this division easier.
Since there is only 7 LW's at this time I will rank each LW 1 thru 7. If a few more Fighter's change back
to LW they will be included in next weeks's LW Analysis. My personal Rankings might not match up with
the Current P4P rankings but my Rankings are just my personal opinion.

Welterweight
The WW division of the MMC has dropped a few fighters and gained a few in this past week.
Elix "The Cat" Wilson
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=362842 - Record: 5-3 Ranking:#5224 It is tough to say where Wilson is headed in his career as he is having an up and down start, but with the stats that he is building, he has a good chance at greatly increasing his rank in the near future. Looks like he might be somewhat susceptible to submissions, but his chin looks solid.
Ilya "Dennis Rodman" Leontyev:
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=363039 - Record: 6-5 Ranking: #8231 Of his losses, he has yet to be finished by any fighter. He has shown a consistency in finishing most of his fights with only one going to the judges. I'd like to see Leontyev take more of a step up in the competition that he is facing to really see what he is capable of. I see some potential in this fighter.
Seth "Fuse" Hughes:
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=362953 - Record: 9-4 Ranking: #2158 Hughes has definitely surprised me this week as he was one of my lowest ranked predictions. He has faced some stiff competition including the above fighter Leontyev and even getting a decision win over him. Even moving already up to the organization Pankrash, the Jersey camp is ready to take on all comers for their representing fighter.
Olavo "Rock And Roll Gangst" Benecio:
http://mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=362188 - Record: 2-0 Ranking: #4172 I really can't place my finger on this fighters outlook of his career. He might be incubating or he might be struggling with weight having only 2 fights on his record. The 2 fights he did have were tough fights and he came out on top, but what really is the deal with this guy? An update next week shall reveal exactly where Olavo is headed.
Markov "the Dean of Mean" Ignatyev
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=363487 - Record: 12-3 Ranking: #324 Watch out WW fighters, the Dean of Mean is out for blood! Having already achieved an impressive rank early in his career, Markov HAS lived up to the hype with many impressive wins. I've seen quite a bit of adversity in some of his fights that he has come out on top of and I truly believe he is the favorite coming out of the WW division in the MCC.
Chepito "Drunk Bum" Garcia:
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=364862 - Record: 2-7 Ranking: #18028 A truly disappointing showing this week for the Drunk Bum with his only 2 wins coming from a couple of scraps, but hey, Garcia is very small for WW and hasn't been able to make the LW cut. I don't see anything promising from Gracia this season of the MCC and wouldn't be surprised of an early retirement.
Gene Allen:
http://www.mmarmy.org/fighter_display.php?id=362014 - Record: 1-4 Ranking: #16643 Allen is a real decent 8 pts fighter who just can't seem to get a break. All four of his losses have come from KO and the pattern doesn't look like it will change much. Allen does not look like he has the heart of good fighter even though his stats seem pretty decent. I see this fighter going nowhere in his career. I'd really like to be proven wrong and maybe this is just an early slump in his career, but I just don't see him making a comeback from some of these losses.
Jean Dube:
http://mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=364678 - Record: 6-2 Ranking: #3668 With his stats already looking well on their way to being jacked up, Dube looks like a real threat in the WW division. His 2 losses have come from a style disadvantage, and against a fighter with superior stats, so I know he has been battle hardened. Taking out other strikers that have been put before him, i'm still unsure about his submission defense, but he looks solid right now.
Iov Kobrin:
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=365968 - Record: 1-5 Ranking: #17362 Looks like this fighter couldn't make weight for the LW division so that leaves him at a disadvantage in the WW divison only weighing 176. Most of his losses have been by decision and his only win was by KO. The future does not look so bright for Kobrin with his inability to cut to LW and having to compete at WW.
Stefan Gusev:
http://mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=362802 Record: 1-2 Ranking: #11199 With only three fights to his credit, a lot has still been left to be desired of Gusev. Cutting weight looks like it might be the issue, and if so, look for a hard road ahead of Gusev.
Mason Butler:
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=361967 Record: 1-2 Looks like Butler has thrown in the towel in his mma career. Will he be missed? Not really.
It looks like this week some of the fighter true colors have been shown and it has not been pretty. Of course MMarmy is very unpredictable and who knows, maybe a few of these guys will make a comeback. Stay tuned for next week's analysis of the WW division!
Middleweight
With week two of the MCC2 in the books, the MW division is finally picking up some steam. Although well lost one team to the LHW division we did welcome three new teams to the mix. Lets see how everybody's doing:
Nate "MCC II" Walker 3-2 - Camp No Worries (JimmyCricket)
http://www.mmarmy.org/fighter_display.php?id=363926After dropping his first two fights, Nate has been on a three fight win streak. This Jiu Jitsu ace has been on a seven month rest after his last fight, we are eagerly awaiting his return to the cage to see if he can extend his win streak even further.
Akio Saito 2-2 - Camp Ronin Warriors (Draperyfalls)
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=363074 After going 1-1 in week one, Aiko's record in week two was also 1-1 dropping his last fight. Although he is a 2.5 star Muay Thai fighter, Aiko has also been taking some time to rest and train. We have not seen him in the cage for the last eight months, lets hope to see a more active fighter in week three.
Rocky "Killshot" Hart 7-5 - Camp Dead Rabbits (Ehrod)
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=362622Rocky is one of the new additions to the MW division and has been the most active fighter so far. After starting out by tearing up 5 consecutive opponents he has gone 2-5 in his last 7 fights. Lets hope this Muay Thai fighter gets back to his dominating ways.
Chuck "PHUCKU" Howard 5-5 - Camp Redskins federation (HarshCon22)
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=363269Another new addition to the MW division Chuck is the lightest of the MCC2 MW's. After starting very strong with 4 straight wins he's gone 1-5 in his last 6, and dropped his last 4 consecutive fights. Another strong Jiu Jitsu grappler who's bound to get back on track soon.
Fernando "Bloodlet" Becker 2-1 - Camp Crimage (Crimage)
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=362487After seemingly having a hard time making 170 we welcome our third new entrant to the MW division. Fernando has gone 2-1 winning his first two fights by slamming his way to victory. Although he hasn't fought in 5 months, we hope to see this talented wrestler make his return to action very soon.
Light Heavyweight
After first week we can see who has the potential to win and who is just a punching bag for other competitors of MCC.
Bert ''All Business'' Davis(6-5)
Trains out of Team Shakes.
http://mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=362586Win/Loss ratio ain't too great but don't let this fool you,each of the 5 losses Bert has came via very close decisions.Bert seems to have worked on his wrestling a bit this week so he can switch against stand-up fighters to Slam it Out.This fighter definetly has the potential to be at the top 3 fighters in MCC LHW division.On more notable wins I would like to mention his fight against ''The Axe Murderer'' with over 70 fights which ''All Business'' won via very close SD.Overally a solid fighter which looks very scary,I have never seen an mmarmy fighter with such a mean look in his eyes.One of the favorites in LHW division.
Owen ''Blue Blazer'' Hart(6-4)
Trains out off ndmma.
http://mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=362118I wish Owen was a little bigger-this LHW brings all hes got in the ring thats for sure-I was a bit wrong in my first analysis.This fighter has finished off pretty much every of the 6 fighters he fought.Coach off the ndmma was either lucky or is simply good with picking styles for his fighter-pretty much all the wins were because of the picking the right style to counter the opponent.He has the build of a solid ground style fighter.
Owen ''Please KO Me'' Bell(2-7)
Trains out of Pain House.
http://mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=365962Unfortunately we lost one of the competitors in the LHW division of the MCC.Owen Bell was retired from his coach because of his lack of skill to cut 10 pounds.After his first couple of fights Owen decided that he likes cheap liquor and cigarettes more than fighting so he started working as a bouncer in a local disco bar-we all wish him luck in his life.A punching bag that will be missed.
Mac "Temper Tantrum" Cooper(2-0)
Trains out of iCe MMA Academy.
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=365211Well not much to work with here-either his trainer took a break from fighting his guy or he doesn't make weight.He has worked some more on his jiu jitsu this week,he is still one of the top fighters in the LHW division.We all hope he comes back to ring soon.
Chase Tremblay(2-3)
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=365588Trains out of The Mafia.
Well I am not sure what to say about this fellow-some surprising losses this week in my opinion.Seems that LHW division has his own Dennis Kang,I was counting that his heart will make him loose the fights he was finished with the decisions,but thats just me.He has certainly stomped nicely Jesse Bryant,but got finished 2 times,last time against a GnP fighter which probably switched to SiO and submitted him with an kimura,I hope he develops his stats more next week and becomes a force-because my opinion is that his losses came because of the undeveloped stats of this fighter.
Bart "Mamwich Man" Ryan(7-1)
Trains out of jersey devills.
http://www.mmarmy.org/fighter_display.php?id=364448-Definetly a fighter with the best record in the division.His only loss came from a 30 fights PL fighter,a very close fight in which Mamwich man gave a tough time to his opponent in the first round.Last 6 fights of the Mamwich Man were all finished via KOs in the first or the second round of the fight,he has no trust in the mmarmy judges obviously.Currently the fighter with the best stats in the LHW division and one of the favorites in the LHW division.
Reggie Baker(4-3)
Trains out of Asian Martial Arts.
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=363871The last but not the least.This 231lbs monster was only finished once in his 7 fights and in the 3rd round to a fighter which used the more dominant style-Reggie has chosen to use his PL against a FF fighter and lost in the 3rd round with a hook,but he definetly gave his opponent one hell of a fight.Seems that he continued to cut weight what is great,hope he does that till the end of MCC.On the more notable wins he submitted Cliff White a slightly better PL fighter via armbar in the 3rd round.
Heavyweight
With no changes to the HW roster, the 8 fighters have been pretty active and have displayed some talent that is already making this division one of the most competitive. Several fighters have fought each other thus far making some possible rivalries imminent down the road.
Brody "The Enemy of Mankind" Phillips (5-3) ranked #3559
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=361977 -Ainsoph- Camp: karateka
A fantastic 4-0 start, all wins by KO has been negated somewhat by a few tough losses to some solid grapplers. As one of the largest HW in the competition, his potential is still high. Brody still remains a one dimensional fighter thus; it is still too early to predict just how high that potential will go.
Iov Kamenev (6-3) ranked #3115
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=361242 -Fletcher-Camp: Club Casual
It seems Kimbo's ability to finish fights has finally shown up with this fighter. With some good quality fights on his resume this week for Iov, it has been a kill or be killed type of week. All fights won/loss by way of KO or sub. Training wise, he has started to build on a deadly PG/FS/SIO combo that should take him far.
Chejo "Persona Caedo" Guzman (7-5) ranked #2175
http://mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=362572 - Mark Clavelle- Camp: MJA Fight Squad
Don’t let the record fool you, this fighter is definitely not shy about taking on stiff competition. Guzman has mixed it up with some really tough fighters adding some counterstrike victories to compliment a nice submission game. A fighter to watch in the next coming weeks as his training rounds out his skills.
Jackson "MCC Dizzle" Davis (9-5) ranked #1603
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=363164 -RoLe- Camp: YeaWhat
Jackson’s sambo and strength training has paid off big time. After a tumultuous start to the week (2-4), he has bounced back stringing off 6 straight wins including his last 4 by KO. Smart fighting this week seems to have woken the sleeping giant.
Dennis "The Menace" Morris (8-8) ranked n/a
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=364939 - G-row - Camp: Penns Pitt
The week for Black Zeus was not as consistent as Penns Pitt had hoped. However, with all of his losses by way of decision against some tough opponents during the week. This just in, apparently the bright neon tattoos Dennis sported produced a poisonous toxin in his blood stream and have caused him to lash out at his manager. Unwilling to compromise, G-row has released this fighter stating inconsistency and lack of discipline. Penn's Pitt is officially out of the competition.
Dallas "The Outsider" Phillips (6-4) ranked #3512
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=362654 -Shoddy- Camp: Team Northern Touch
A 4 fight losing streak to start off the week has posed questions regarding this fighters chin. But those questions are starting to fade with a solid 5 fight win streak. More smart fighting from this fighter should help him keep pace with the contenders, however some wins over a little stiffer competition should up his ranking.
Erasmo "The Envious Orgasmo" Benecio (9-5) ranked #2075
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=364565 -SlickRick210- Camp: TheSickness
A pretty solid week for Erasmo with 9 victories however some questions regarding a possible weak chin after all 4 defeats came by KO. Despite that setback the sambo/strength training is coming around nicely and should keep this fighter in contention.
Axl Moore (5-4) ranked #5863
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=362973 -Elevelyn - Camp: the savage cabbages
A disastrous debut has been forgotten somewhat by a 4 fight win streak. Moore has displayed a solid chin thus far but has been susceptible to submissions. More fights against small opponents will continue to favor this fighter but he will ultimately have some difficulties with the much heavier skilled fighters.
