Ultimate Beatdown 9 ~ Evolution ~ MMA in Johor is on the Move

Published on July 1, 2012 by The Editor in Ultimate Beatdown

Ultimate Beatdown 9 Evolution, De’Bali, Johor Bahru

Ultimate MMA Academy is the longest established MMA gym in Malaysia and owner Melvin Yeoh is a well-known face in the Malaysian MMA scene. Although small his gym attracts an international cast of people to train, in recent months English, Australian, Brazilian, American, Iranian, Philippine and  Singaporean. It’s reputation is as a real “fighters gym” the cage and rows of gloves lined up ready for use.

Ultimate Beatdown started as a series of small events held in the Ultimate MMA Academy in the Mount Austin area of Johor Bahru. Although small they always attracted fighters from far afield. The audience has always been small simply due to the room in the gym but that’s about to change as Ultimate Beatdown in on the Move.

Ultimate Beatdown 9 will be held in De Bali Restaurant & Bistro which will raise the capacity to something like 300 and judging by the ticket sales to date this will be a genuine sell out.

De Bali is a lot easier to get to for visitors as it’s less than five minutes from the Singapore Causeway or the Zon where boats from Singapore and Indonesia come in.

It’s a full night of fights with a total of 12 fights including a couple of Amateur Muay Thai fights and the night features a real united nations of fighters.

Ultimate Beatdown 9

The event will start with 2 Amateur Muay Thai Bouts to get the crowd settled in and then it’s onto the:

2 Amateur MMA Bouts including Overkill Vs The Kill

This will be interesting as Overkill (Melvin Yeoh) and The Kill (Will Chope) are going to put on an exhibition match. Will Chope is a professional fighter (Both MMA and Muay Thai) and  has fought all over Asia including at the URCC, DARE, MFC, PRO and is the present F3 Title Belt Holder.

These two should put on a good show that will be both entertaining and informative for new fans.

Undercard

1) Wong Ser Tech (Malaysia) vs Muhd Bin Abdullah “Atam Black” (Singapore)

2) Jason (JB) vs Nik Lee (KL)

3) Zeus Lim (JB) vs Nazmi Bull (SG)

4) Euginio Dauz Tan (Philiphine) vs Steven Yeoh (JB)

Main Card

1) Roger Chan (SG) vs Hanif Zainal (KL)

2) Garrick (Sg Impact MMA) vs Azlan Sulaiman (KL)

3) Loong “The Doctor” Van Nguyen (Vietnam) vs Alexandro “Leke” Machado (3-1) (Brazil)

4) Isamu “2.0″ Himara (3-5-1) (USA) vs Luc “Doberma” Rousseau (4-0) (France)

This is one not to be missed there is genuine dislike between these two, so much so that the fight will be fought at a catchweight as Rousseau outweighs Himara by a considerable amount. But neither fighter wanted to miss the opportunity to shut the other the hell up! So as a main event fight this should provide all the fireworks you need.

So that’s it the Evolution of Ultimate Beatdown. Don’t sit at home watching censored MMA on TV come out and have a great time watching the real thing in a great venue. But buy your tickets now because it’s going to be a sell out.
