Championship History:


Phil Banks (C) Vs SWAVY
This was the final of the tournament created to crown the first champion. SWAVY was the inform favorite going into the final but the still relatively new Phil Banks pulled off a massive victory to be crowned the first LBA Heavyweight Champion. 91% - 9%.


Haz Vs Phil Banks (C)
Haz was granted number one contender status due to a forum poll. The battle clocked up 43 votes and the champion earned a resounding and deserved victory. 17% - 83%.


Danger Rich Vs Phil Banks (C)
Danger Rich came into this with great momentum, but Phils incredible run continued. By no means a massacre because BOTH dropped verses that would destroy 99% of verses seen on the site this year, but Phils fresher concepts earnt him another incredible victory. 11% - 89%.


RULE Vs Phil Banks (C)
This title match was added to the Illmania III tie-breaker event as an impromptu championship battle, and although surrounded by some controversy, the battle was an instant two-minute classic that saw RULE upset the long-reigning champion. 52% - 48%.


YOU WISH Vs RULE (C)
The old rivals clashed for the fifth time in this title encounter, with YOU WISH coming out victorious in only his second non-tournament format audio battle. 70% - 30%


Stotty Pimpin Vs YOU WISH (C)
Audio veteran stepped up to the plate to challenge YOU WISH who still has only been defeated once in an audio format battle. The battle pulled in 40 votes, with YOU WISH's writing ability helping him pick up the victory. 14% - 86%


GRizzEAT Vs YOU WISH (C)
Heavyweight textcee GRizzEAT rose through the audio ranks to face YOU WISH, who unfortunately was forced to forfeit due to illness. This battle did actually take place shortly after the forfeit occured and while it was not considered an official title match, its is worth noting that GRizzEAT was able to score a victory over the former champion via a small percentage margin.


stricc Vs GRizzEAT (C)
The LBA title went undefended for a long time, and it was decided that the winner of the Audio Grand Championship would have a shot at the LBA Title. Stricc was the winner and faced Grizzy, and won a very lop-sided battle to pick up his third major championship. 93% - 7% (1/5/13).


FiNAL WoRD Vs stricc (C)
stricc's fellow crew member FiNAL WoRD was his opponent for his first defense, and the battle was fairly close, although the voting public was firmly in the corner of the champion. 81% - 19%


OSKAR Vs stricc (C)
A glitch in the battling system led to this battle being contested in a different form than most, with the verses being uploaded as tracks and the actual battle being voted on in the text arena. The resulting contest was a landslide for the champion, scoring a rare 100% victory in a championship match. 100% - 0%


Jason Vs stricc (C)
This was an extremely close battle which amassed 40+ votes. Both of these emcees went at each other with skills beyond the average audio battles. After the dust was settled Jason was crowned the victor. 57% - 43%
