KOTD is heading back to Los Angeles on June 25 for "Battles at the Bunker." The line-up was initially a showcase for mid-card emcees to expand their fan base on KOTD, but it has now been upgraded with a headline name, thanks to the announcement that Dizaster will be battling at the event.

Diz, a long-time KOTD fan favorite and major draw in the battle rap community, will be facing off against a mystery opponent in a match that elicits elements of the freestyle era he started in. The announcement set off a wave of speculation as fans tried to figure out just exactly who will be Diz’s opponent at the Bunker.
We've come up with five battlers who could possibly be facing off against Dizaster at "Battles at the Bunker."
Serius Jones
Dizaster’s only request concerning his mystery opponent is that he or she has a respectable and recognized brand in the battle rap culture. Serius Jones more than fits that description, thanks to his years of experience and strong performances against top-tier talents like Murda Mook and Charlie Clips. Jones is potentially still contracted for one battle with KOTD because of his scheduled battle against Pat Stay, at “Blackout 6” that fell through. Jones is a strong freestyler and despite his upcoming battle against Jimz on RBE’s "Blood Sweat & Tiers 4," he's perfectly capable of being fully prepared for a battle in less than two weeks, which could make him a dangerous opponent.
O'fficial
The dynamics behind this battle being a possibility are simple. Dizaster has been public with his desire to battle a female artist and O'fficial, in particular, is a name Diz has often mentioned. The match-up would be interesting on many levels, because Dizaster has debatably never faced a puncher on the level of O'fficial, who religiously puts together back-to-back punches in her rounds that can quickly swing a battle in her favor.
O'fficial, however, has never stood in front of someone as versatile and aggressive as Diz, making this a unique clash of styles that could easily turn out to be a classic. O'fficial doesn't battle all that often, and has an upcoming match-up on RBE’s BST4 against QB, which might keep her out of the running — if she's even interested in the challenge at all.
C3
The idea of C3 versus Dizaster has probably never crossed anyone’s mind in the battle rap community, but this match-up makes plenty of sense for all the same reasons the O'fficial battle does. Diz wants to battle a female emcee and C3 is no stranger to battling top tier male battlers, evidenced by her strong showing against Tay Roc at QOTR’s “Watch The Throne 2.” C3 is no slouch lyrically and could present a unique challenge for Diz, who would no doubt get his masculinity questioned by C3. The battle doesn't seem likely at first thought, but hey, look at this Facebook post by C3 days before the "mystery opponent" match-up was announced...
Charron
Considering the short notice, the self-proclaimed “Smack Killer” would undoubtedly be a great opponent for Dizaster, because of his amazing and consistent ability to freestyle strong and coherent material. Charron has proven himself against plenty of high-profile competition and has even created a recent buzz surrounding his name by responding to Nick Cannon’s $100K challenge. This battle, perhaps more than the previous possibilities, would test both artists' versatility and freestyle skills in a way that could draw comparisons to each of their battles with DNA.
Charron has been denying the possibility on social media, but if it was him, do you really think he'd admit it?
Danny Myers
Danny Myers seems to have an unlimited supply of bars, which would be exactly what he needs to rock with Dizaster. He's already on the West Coast, and is on a mission to face off against all of the greats to etch his way into the battle rap history books. Danny is always focused and puts his whole heart into his battles, and the intensity generated between him and Dizaster would be something to behold.
Someone Else
There are plenty of other possible opponents that fans are speculating about, such as Bigg K, Carter Deems, and Charlie Clips, but the five names above are the ones we think are most likely considering the short notice nature of the battle.
No matter who the opponent may be, fans can expect a motivated and hungry Dizaster who will be looking to carry his momentum from the Solomon battle into this one. Diz's strong preparation and uncanny freestyle chops will ensure that he is ready for any opponent.
