Bloodsport is a devastating full body spinner. It has chopped some ferocious robots down to size across the last two seasons. Its debut battle in season 4 was against Lucky. Bloodsport tore through Lucky but busted its weapon in the process. Against Black Dragon, its weapon failed again, and was flipped over to give Black Dragon the win by knockout. Bloodsport soon got going, however, and delivered devastating knockouts over Breaker Box and The Four Horsemen to finish the regular season at 3-1. Since there were many other robots at 3-1 or better, Bloodsport had to win a rumble against Railgun Max and Uppercut for a spot in the top 16. Unfortunately, Bloodsport failed to do so, and was eliminated from the tournament. Bloodsport wasn't finished, however, as it obliterated Sharkoprion (a tough vertical spinner) in an exhibition match after the tournament. In season 5, Bloodsport returned and drew Skorpios in its opening battle. Although it was probably an underdog going in, Bloodsport tore Skorpios to shreds. This win placed Bloodsport up against vertical spinner and eventual champion End Game, which had just shocked the world with a knockout over Tombstone. I very quick fashion, Bloodsport won by knockout. Bloodsport took its next fight to finish the opening round as one of the six robots to go at 3-0. Tombstone was having the worst season of its career, going 1-2 in the opening rounds, losing to Skorpios in its third fight. This made both Tombstone killers victims of Bloodsport, which is actually a pretty big deal, especially considering the fact that they both have horizontal spinners. In the round of 32, Bloodsport was seeded 2nd, and it took out Gruff to advance to the top 16. Bloodsport's next opponent was Tantrum, and after a grueling fight that went the distance, Tantrum won by a questionable split decision. Bloodsport's record currently stands at 8-3 (.727) with five knockouts. For an amazing winning percentage, wins over fellow legends, and for its deadly knockout punch, Bloodsport easily makes my top 50 Battlebots of all time.
