This is sports writer Warren reporting for the "Sunny Times"...
As a sports writer I was asked to do several articles in the Heavyweight Division regarding the "Going for Glory Round Robin Alliance War" being put on by Promoter Mr. Wunderfull.
I will be doing several before fight interviews and several during and after fight interviews.
Before the "Going for Glory Tournament" begins I had a chance to sit down with several of the Heavyweight contenders representing their camp and alliance along with their trainer to review their carreer and ask several questions.
Here is some of the information collected while the hopes and dreams of all are still in tact with each looking forward to winning and bring home the coveted title at hand.
In the Heavyweight Division:
1. Chelo "The Chupacabra" Vega has a walk around weight of 279 lbs. During my interview of Chelo and his trainer TaPnYaOUT of Camp SnaPsNTaPs I learned that this trainer of "Drunken Bum Alliance" is considered fondly by the other members as "DBA's Pit Bull." Vega and Tap proudly sport a record of 47/19 and have held a ranking of # 17. In the trophy room we see 8 different title belts with 24 wins amongst them, certainly an impressive career so say the least. Vega has trained in the areas of Sambo, Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling. Vega is considered ruthless in the cage leaving mayhem and destruction behind. Chelo holds little KO power with most of his wins coming by way of decision. His losses are few and he is rarely KOed. This contender plays for keeps.
DBA, TaPnYaOUT:
http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=4746292. J.C. "Boy Band" Stevens is competing in the Going for Glory Tourney under the Alliance banner of Simyard Fight League. His trainer is none other than Jbear of the well known MMArmy camp, "The Bus Stop." Steven brings a record of 40/31 as a 263 pound heavyweight into the cage with lots of previous Glory experience. Jbear has been training this fighter in Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu and Brawling to round out his ground game and give him plenty of switches to adapt to each opponent for this tournament. When asked about his fighter's hidden abilities he indicated that he couldn't say for sure but thought in might be in his cup size. This reporter thinks that his opponents should keep a watchful eye on this cat. The SFL Alliance always fights with honor and dignity in the cage, but you never know for sure what will cum!

http://www.mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=4618553. Dennis "Tgior LeDiuz" Colon is a 277 pound mix martial artist fighting for MJA Fight Squad under the watchful eye of Mark J Aronoff. Dennis learned his trade in Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling and is considered strong and quite flexible by anyone's standard. He bring a record of 26/11 to the cage earning two title and four title belts in Glory and Strike Fest. Being no stranger to difficult fights I expect Tgior LeDiuz to step up his game in this tournament. You should be ware of his ability to PG or his switch of SiO or FS. If an opponent under rates this fighter he may earn himself a short nap.

http://mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=4712464. Gary Young is no stranger to winning. He has won his last five fights and I'm sure he plans on winning the Going for Glory Tournament with his Soviet Alliance. This fighter has stamina and it shows, his last five fights went the distance winning all by a decision. Training under the infamous Prote Inshake, Jr. of Team Shakes this fighter could pull an upset. His street weight in 274 lbs. and his record to date is 25/18. Gary trains in Jiu Jitsu and Westling and obviously likes to PG but can also get you strikers with his FS talents. This too, is a fighter not to under estimate.

http://mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=4632715. David Biek is a 276 Lb. Heaveyweight training under Toj Flojian of Flojian Academy. His alliance of choice is TTT Alliance which stands for "To The Top". David is a Jiu Jitsu expert with Wrestling and Brawling experience that he brings to the cage where he has won two belts, MFO and LotC, with three wins between them. At the time of this interview he sported a record of 30/17 and shows his skills in PG, FS, SiO and GnP. With experience like this he promises to be a real threat for any opponent. The former champ when ask if he ever had trouble making weight or ever missed weight replied curtly, "Nope." Any opponent that Biek fights will be met with that same curt, direct in your face aggression that has gotten him into the ranks Glory. David Biek and his trainer Toj are two men of few words and will bring into the cage, "raw aggression."
