The following events in this thread occur on Thursday, December 19th so no references or statements should be made on social media regarding this event until December, 19th.
The vibe at the GFN 4 Press Conference in Berlin, Germany was like none other. Due to the history of one particular fighter a call for extra security had been made and so led by Shazir ''Shao'' Khan several men in suits escorted President Khan to his seat the press table and three settled on each side of him in case they needed to restrain Misty or Rupika who she certainly would try to provoke and antagonize throughout the event.
Mr. Khan takes a seat and immediately fields the first question his way.
Mr. Khan after the recent success of Sauvage vs. Galanos preceded by Malkasian vs. Ward it seems that GCC is in an upwards swing, how do you think GFN 4 will fair in comparison to your previous commercial successes?
Mr. Khan: I expect this to be our most successful event to date. In terms of Social media popularity, Rupika Khan has caused quite of stir and she knows how to get our name out there and she's going up against Misty DeMeans who may be new to GCC but at one time was a household name in the world of MMA. I expect this event to do crazy numbers, set records and then we plan to break them all over again next time out.
If Rupika defeats Misty DeMeans, will your granddaughter be next in line for a GCC featherweight championship fight?
Mr. Khan: Yes. I spoke to Rupika about it already and she knows how big of a fight this is for her. Things maybe a little awkward if Gaia Galanos retains against Juanita Sanchez next year but I know that both of them have no qualms putting on the fight if it comes down to it, especially Rupika.
Mr. Khan, what do you say to your critics who insinuate you have hired a steroid cheat in Misty DeMeans?
Mr. Khan: During our negations with Misty DeMeans we were well aware of the accusations leveled against her but ultimately came to the conclusion that at the very least there was a severe lack of sufficient evidence. In fact, she was never suspended by any athletic commission. Although she had been released by Union, it was not under any specific code.
Are you suggesting Misty DeMeans had no wrong doing?
Mr. Khan: What I am suggesting is, GCC had no reason to blacklist her or keep her from participating from the sport. With that in mind, she will be drug tested and held accountable by the sporting commissions in which govern her fights. We like any other promotion do not condone, support or facilitate a breeding ground for cheating and should we catch someone -anyone- using performance enhancement drugs I am sure it will be caught well before they string together a huge win streak on route to a world championship, I promise you that.
With the media in a frenzy they then begin to direct their line of questioning to...
You?
JaySon Francis is cracking up laughing after hearing what Clive Hillbilly Hicks had to say.
Tom Harland | GCC writer
''Hey JaySon, I wasn't able to catch up with you at the open workouts but how do you feel heading into the fight after suffering a tough decision loss against Tommy Ward in your GCC debut?''
JaySon Francis | The Praying Mantis
''I am feeling pretty good. I give it to that boy Tommy, he won on the judges score cards but I don't think I lost a fight against him. I can't sit here and complain about it because Drippy just reminded my ass last out that it's on me to make sure the fight doesn't go to the judges score card. My bad.'''

''How does it feel to be going up against yet another big name in Ross Hanson? Do you think you've been thrown right into the fire?''
JaySon Francis | The Praying Mantis
''What fire? I'll fight any of these heavyweights. To keep it a hunna, Ross Hanson looked like a fat piece of dogshit his last fight. If that boy wasn't fighting the worst fighter in the division Robby Nitro, he would have got scrubbed. If he shows up overweight and out of shape again he isn't getting away with that shit again on my block.''
Nancy Holton | CageRage.com
''In the heavyweight division there's been a lot of discussion about who won the fight between Erik Malkasian and Tommy Ward, what are your thoughts?''
JaySon Francis | The Praying Mantis
''I think it goes back to what I was saying earlier, if the fight goes to the judges you've lost control of your fate. Shit happens but I think both of those boys could have pushed harder to end the fight and none of this discussion would be a thing. If I had to call it, I'd say Erik deserved that shit. Tommy has made a bad habit of holding niggas against the cage and just trying to score points. These boys out here are just trying to game the system and that shit is sad to me.''

''Nobody is really talking about it Jay but real talk how do you feel about Misty being the first minority black women in GCC to main event?''
JaySon Francis | The Praying Mantis
''Oh, I fuck with the vibe for sure but I don't think our community is claiming her like that. She be putting on way too much effort to entertain these white folk out here and I can't fuck with that sort of clownery. As a fighter, I respect what's she's done in MMA but you tripping if you don't think Drippy can put an end to all the hype while reppin' the Gunplay MMA flag.''
Tyson Johnson | Blogger
Yeah, that's what's up!
JaySon Francis | The Praying Mantis
''Now that we got our foot in the doors and snuck our guns passed security, I am putting the word out to all the dogs at Gunplay MMA. It's open season on EVERYBODY who ain't riding with the crew. In 2020, we're taking this whole MMA game over and I put that on EVERYTHING.''
