Riding on the wave of popularity from its debut last month, the Underground Fighters Championship returns on Day 280 with UFC #2, featuring two of the biggest names in the Galaxy on the Main Card.
The Skulls Swoop Gang is again hosting viewers in their very own Bad Alibi Bar, and promise to deliver an experience like no other in the Galaxy.

MAIN EVENT

Morgan Sathel vs Avelyn ca Vella

Morgan Sathel, Dread Captain of the Exelis Syndicate, has seen her notoriety increase drastically in the last few months. Known not only for her involvement in the coup that ultimately destroyed the Order of the One Sith, but also by her brutal reputation, Sathel is expected to bring one hell of a show to the cage on Day 280.

We caught up with Sathel and asked her to describe her training camp to us. She said,

"“Nothing has changed for me. There hasn’t been a single day ever since I was a stupid brat that I haven’t trained hard. There’s a reason why I haven’t been killed yet in my line of work, and that’s because I’ve sharpened my body and my senses. I run and weight lift, and make sure to eat properly. Even a pirate has to look the part, you know?” "

Avelyn ca Vella, Guildmistress of the Cantrell Conglomerate, is the most famous Zeltron in the Galaxy. Known for founding the Cantrell Conglomerate, and also for the popular "Wenches of Cantrell" poster series, ca Vella will be making her debut in combat sports in UFC #2. We asked Ava to describe her training camp for us. She said,

"I'm trainin' daily, ain't got time t' do much else, yanno? I keep maself in good shape but I'm workin' on ma kicks. I've put on 'bout five kilos so I think I'm ready t' go."

Tensions between the two ladies reached an all time high during the press conference, where Fenri Bjornolf (CEO of the UFC) had to physically separate the women in order to keep their hands from flying before the day of the fight arrives.

During the press conference, Sathel had some strong words for ca Vella, saying,

“Avelyn is an afterthought. This is a competition against myself, not against her. I’m competing to see how quickly I can beat the crap out of her and leave her on the floor. If she thinks I’m impressed or afraid, she’ll have to revisit those thoughts. I've been in more trouble than she will ever know and I came out on top every time. I’ve taken down self-proclaimed Sith and made them rethink their life. One fat Zeltron won’t be a challenge.”

 Ava, responding to Sathel, said,

"Morgan, ya gotta know that when ya talk shit, ya get hit. Yer a pirate, yah? Well, I'm gonna be th' one plunderin' booty in th' cage!"

The Press Conference immediately turned ugly following that comment from Ava.

UNDERCARDS

Jido Kalradia vs Org Squlgunt

UFC #2 will open with a bout between the Corellian, Kalradia, and the Gamorrean, Squlgunt. Newcomers to the UFC, this fight is guaranteed to be brutal. Tensions have been rising over the last couple of weeks between Kalradia and Squlgunt in the Bad Alibi Bar, with each interaction only escalating the tensions further. This opening fight will definitely be one worth watching.

Korin Jal vs Ozzy Vazul

The second bout of UFC #2 will feature the return of the fan favorites from UFC #1, facing eachother for the very first time.

The "Macho Whiphid" Korin Jal, with a big win under his belt, is returning to the cage ready to put a beat down on Ozzy "Dude Love" Vazul. We asked the "Macho Whiphid" what his training camp looked like to prepare for this fight. He said,

"I've been taking this fight with Ozzy a little more seriously yeaah! I've been out running through the mountains, killing beasts with my bare claws yeaah! I also upped my whiskey intake to TWO GALLONS A DAY YEAAH! Ya see there's a LOT MORE on the line than just a number in the win column yeaah yeaah its about PRIDE! Its about LeTtInG THE WHOLE GALAXY KNOW who ThE BaDdEsT WhIpHiD in the UFC is yeaah!"

(Jal takes a slight pause)

"And you're lookin at em brother! Ya see this all started for me back in UFC 1 yeaah me and this young conquistador had words LOOOOONG before we had a fight booked yeaah And Im telling ya right now Ozzy Vazul you just made the worst decision of your sorry life and WhIpHiD MaDdNeSs is comin for ya yeaah! So be ready, but ya cant be, so make your arrangements now, tell all your loved ones it was a hell of a ride, cuz YOU AINT COMIN BACK FROM SERROCO IN ONE PIECE! That much I can promise you, the rest you all have to wait and see ooooohhhhh yeeeaaaaahhh WOOOOO!!!"

Ozzy "Dude Love" Vazul, gaining a huge fan following after his comeback win against Vobak Dal in UFC #1, is expected to give the "Macho Whiphid" a run for his money. When asked what he's doing to prepare, Vazul said,

"Well Fenri, I've really been working on my stamina. I found when I fought Vobak, I had no problem throwing punches that hit, but getting out of that guys way was not easy. It really took it out of me, if you feel me? So a big priority for me has been training on my cardio. I've gotta make sure I can last..."

(Ozzy pauses as a giggle is heard coming from the bed in the background of the shot)

"In the ring, that is."

With some very special words for Jal, Vazul also said,

"Korin, baby, I've got a message for you, and I don't know if you're gonna like it! You're so pent up with rage man, all that fake machismo ain't gonna pay off! You gotta center yourself man, or your angers gonna consume you, and you're gonna be all clouded up with it during the fight.. And not the good kinda clouds!"
