Nelly: Ladies and gentlemen, this past summer we saw the successful inauguration of the GUNS Fight Club here on the XHF Network. The GFC debuted to a world wide audience with sixteen of the XHF Network's most eager brawlers coming from about six different promotions across the Network, and let me you folks, I haven't been this entertained since I got turnt during a holiday in Tijuana and my own mother- ahem, I digressed. Without further ado, l am proud to introduce to you the man behind the brawls, our GFC Owner, and he told me to make sure I mention that he is still XHF Commissioner.. James Mueller.
James Mueller: Thank you, thank you. Please, hold all questions for the end, we'll open the forum to any questions you may have but I'll try to do my best here as we introduce you to.. Season Two of GUNS Fight Club... THE ULTIMATE BRAWLER.
Now, we opened up sign-ups for the past several weeks to old and new members of the GFC. I'm proud that 13 of our original 16 are officially returning to the GFC, including our inaugural GFC Champion, Bloodied Fox. We'll have some more news about the GFC Championship later on as well, so stay tuned. We're welcoming back:
GFC Champion Bloodied Fox, who is competing as an Independent talent this season.
Our GFC Brawl for All Runner-up from an incredible 16th Seed run, Dylan Black
The man with the most victories in the GFC with 8 of 'em, Jack Diamond
The fastest victory in the GFC was decided in a minute and 15 seconds, by Greg Adkins
The only two competitors to submit their opponents, James Franklin Karn and Jason Long
The first ever victory in the GFC belonged to Andrew Daniels, whom went undefeated in the prelims.
The fighter that broke a lot of hearts and a lot of brackets in Round 1, Steve Awesome
Probably the scariest looking dude on the entire roster, Spike Kane
Randy Angel
The only competitor from the southern hemisphere and I awkwardly found out is not related to Crocodile Dundee, Aiden Merric.
The Englishman who fell asleep in the commentary booth during an event in his own god damn country, Rob Arnold
And my best friend and long-time tag team partner, Venom.
Now, our official roster still sits at 16 as we welcomed in 3 new competitors to the GFC:
Disney's Marty Donovan from HardKore
Noel Edmonds from GUNS
and Wildcat Capone from TAPOUT
We're looking forward to see how these new talent will hang with the originals in season two. And yes, as to be expected, don't expect the expected, but expect the unexpected. Now, you might be asking, what is Season Two going to bring? What's going to make Season Two so different than the inaugural season? Obviously, we can't just repeat more preliminaries and another tournament. While, I love the stakes and I love the tears that were shed, especially by the underdogs in that tournament, this season we're going to do things a little differently. This season, we're going to have Two Teams, facing off in head-to-head competition for points, prizes, and opportunities. And without giving too much away, these competitions will not be limited to the GFC Octagon.
Now, these two teams will be captained by our finalists in the GFC Brawl for All Tournament from season 1, Bloodied Fox and Dylan Black. It'll be Team Fox vs Team Black, and earlier today I sat down with the captains to determine their teams...

We open up in a cushy looking office, the GFC Owner's office overlooking the inside of the GUNS Arena & Gymnasium in Atlanta, GA. Bloodied Fox and Dylan Black are all sitting across from each other at a table in the middle as James stands next to the end. Next to James is a poster board on an easel, with a list of official competitors for season two.
Mueller: So, you understand what we're doing?
Dylan Black: I dig it.
Bloodied Fox: Yeah, I'm down for that.
Mueller: Alright, the roster is set and the rules for this are simple. It's a snake draft, so whomever goes first gets first pick, second gets second and third, then fourth and fifth, so on and on back and fourth until everyone's off the board. And Fox, as the winner of the tournament you have the choice to go first or second. Choice?
Dylan: Intriguing..
Mueller: Also, keep in mind... We're not just doing MMA this season. Be aware of their strengths that could be outside the octagon...
Fox: Intriguing. I'll go second.
Dylan: Alright my first pick is...
Dylan Black stands up and gets right in front of the roster board... Instead of hearing his pick, time begins to move forward, and we cut to different events throughout the draft process..
>>>
Bloodied Fox: Wait, who's even that?
Mueller: Yeah, everyone forgets Randy.
Fox: That's not who-
>>>
James Mueller's got his feet up on the table, watching the two captains yell at each other.
>>>
Black and Fox are playing rock, paper, scissors but both land on rock. They then both land on rock. Then they both land on rock. Then they both land on rock. Then they both land on scissors and instinctively start scissoring each other's fingers, much to Mueller's annoyance.
>>>
Black: That's it, I'm calling my fucking lawyer.
>>>
A stack of Jimmy Johns sandwiches lay scattered across the table as the three take a lunch break.
>>>
Dylan Black and Bloodied Fox sit in silence across from each other, as their lawyers yell at each other instead. Mueller is tying what appears to be a fishermans' knot to some thick rope before throwing it over a ceiling pipe in his office.
>>>
Black, Fox, and their two lawyers, all sit silently as they eat some Jimmy Johns sandwiches. Mueller's legs can only be seen on camera as he's standing on his chair now.
>>>
One name remains on the roster board as the rest of the names are split off into two groups.
Bloodied Fox: Which means pick #14 is... Well, I wasn't expecting that.
Dylan Black: Hey, if this means I can kick his ass again...
Mueller grabs it before the camera can make out what the name is and he puts it into the scattered group of names on Bloodied Fox's team. Mueller then turns as Fox and Black both stand up and all three start shaking each other's hands turn-by-turn.
Mueller: Alright, boys, I wish you both the best of luck... I'll be keeping in touch.
Mueller: So, you understand what we're doing?
Dylan Black: I dig it.
Bloodied Fox: Yeah, I'm down for that.

And with that, I'm proud to announce Team Fox and Team Black... For the first ever, Ultimate Brawler:
TEAM FOX
BLOODIED FOX (CAPTAIN)
GREG ADKINS
RANDY ANGEL
ROB ARNOLD
SPIKE KANE
STEVE AWESOME
VENOM
WILDCAT CAPONE
TEAM BLACK
DYLAN BLACK (CAPTAIN)
AIDEN MERRIC
ANDREW DANIELS
DISNEY'S MARTY DONOVAN
JACK DIAMOND
JAMES FRANKLIN KARN
JASON LONG
NOEL EDMONDS
These teams are already presenting some fantastic match-ups on paper, but I'm also excited to see how these individuals fair in our... other competitions this season. And don't think that Bloodied Fox is getting off lightly as the current GFC Champion just because we have a team format this season. The GFC Championship will still be defended throughout this season, including the very... first... night of Season Two, which will be announced in the near future.
One more note before we move on to any Q&A you may have, but we are also going to change the show format a bit. While I loved having everyone competing every night during Season One, the shows often ran over two hours and that's something I'd like to scale back on. This will mean that we'll have to have less individual fights for the shows, but I think we'll see more quality from a production stand point as a result, as well as I think it'll help retain interest during the events. This will probably mean that we'll have more events than the ten that we had for season 1, but also we'll still have a few "Big" cards out there as well, especially for the Season Finale.
Any questions?
