card saw the first FURY XC Heavyweight champion crowned and four other exciting title matches.</em></p><br /><p><strong><span>Main Event - FURY XC Heavyweight Championship Match</span></strong></p><br /><p>The 2008 Heavyweight Grand Prix came to a conclusion when the "underdog" Igor Veselov upset favorite Julio-Cesar Montanez in the first round.  From the sounding of the bell, Veselov came out like a man possessed and immediately took the role of aggressor (very reminiscent of the Fedor/Cro Cop Match in PRIDE).  Montanez spent the first two minutes of the match just backing up and throwing some leg kicks that obviously failed to stop "The Russian Assassin".  At the five minute mark, Veselov connected with a hook and followed up by taking Julio-Cesar to the ground.  From there, he spent some time in his guard before getting the full mount position and beginning a barrage of punches to Montanez's face.  After witnessing the punishment his brother was taking, Cesar Montanez (who was in the corner) decided to throw in the towel and possibly save the career of his older brother.  With this win, Igor Veselov has cemented his status among the elite here on MakeSport.</p><br /><p><strong><span>FURY XC Lightweight Championship Match</span></strong></p><br /><p>The war of words began in November of 2008 when "Lil Evil" Wally Darkmon found out he was considered the underdog going into his match with MakeSport legend "The Japanese Warrior" Hidetoshi Yanagisawa.  Yanagisawa was coming off a very dominant performance against "El Conquistador" Cesar Montanez, the man he defeated to become the first FURY XC Lightweight champion.  Darkmon entered the match after losing his WEC Lightweight championship.  Never short of words, Darkmon stated he simply was the best and that Yanagisawa would retire after the beating he would deal to him...he couldn't have been more wrong.  Yanagisawa outstruck him for three straight rounds, connecting with several big shots that rocked the Canadian, leaving many to wonder why Darkmon even showed up in the first place.  Yanagisawa continues his reign over the lightweight division with another dominating performance.  </p><br /><p><strong><span>FURY XC Middleweight Championship Match</span></strong></p><br /><p>The first champion ever crowned in FURY XC, "The Brazilian Snake" Wanderlei Gracie, did not disappoint his fans by turning back the challenge of rising middleweight star, Scott Adams.  Gracie, who is undefeated in FURY (with one draw against Cesar Montanez), fought a back and forth match up with his younger opponent.  Adams entered the contest with a 20-4 record with the majority of his wins coming by knockout.  In the end, it was Gracie that showed the judges that he deserved this win by putting on another stellar performance he has come to be known for.  His FURY record now moves to 4-0-1 and is looking forward to his next title defense in January.</p><br /><p><strong><span>FURY XC Welterweight Championship Match</span></strong></p><br /><p>A true veteran of this sport, Leon "Del Boy" Del Gaudio won the FURY XC Welterweight championship in another match that went the distance from MFS fighter, Antonio Porras Jr.  Porras, who defeated Vince Stone in November for the belt, was greatly favored in this match but showed his lack of takedown defense as Del Gaudio just took him down when, and where he pleased.  A veteran of over 100 fights, Del Gaudio proved he can still hang with the best young, up and comers.  Just recently, Porras contacted the FURY admin and demanded a rematch with Del Gaudio, so only time will tell what comes next for the new champion and his title.</p><br /><p><strong><span>FURY XC Featherweight Championship Match</span></strong></p><br /><p>One of FURY XC's main goals was to bring some new life into MakeSport.  Final Conflict saw the crowning of the first Featherweight champion on MakeSport.  MFS fighter, Adrian Perez earned the right to challenge Ryuunosuke "Kid" Nakajima to become the first featherweight champion by winning his first three fights in this small, but exciting division.  "Kid" Nakajima, after meeting with success in the lightweight division, was asked to go down in weight to help give this title match some more credibility.  After two intense rounds, the end came when Perez broke the ribs of Nakajima and he was unable to finish the third round.  Perez was ahead on the scorecards when this happened, so either way, he was going to win the title.  While Nakajima has asked for a rematch down the line, after the disappointing performance he put on, he will be lucky to be back at all.  A search now begins for Perez's next opponent.  </p><br /><p><strong><span>Undercard</span></strong></p><br /><p>Leon "Rocky" Del Gaudio defeated "The Assassin" Chris Archer to become the #1 contender to the Middleweight championship</p><br /><p>James "The Predator" Montgomery and Vince "The Outlaw" Stone fought to a draw and will have a rematch in January to determine the #1 contender to the Welterweight championship</p><br /><p>"The Dangerous" Vincent Von Dimitri defeated "Juggernaut" Josh Saunders by Majority Decision</p><br /><p>"The Brazilian Psycho" Andre Acacio defeated Luis "The Brazilian King" Guilherme by Majority Decision</p><br /><p>Jake "Cali Kid" Buckner defeated Tsuneo Watanabe by Majority
