This is the one we have been waiting for folks! The top two Heavyweights in BANZAI COMBAT will go toe to toe to crown the promotions first ever Heavyweight Champion! The excitement is almost too much for me! I don’t know what state I’ll be in come Saturday for this one!
MAIN CARD
Main Event – Heavyweight Championship - Kingston Brewer vs Junior Daniel
Both fighters come into this 5-round title bout with undefeated records! Expect this one to be EXPLOSIVE!!! Whatever happens I predict one of these fighters will end up on their back looking up at the light! Someone is getting knocked out!!
Brewer has the advantage in the wrestling department and has proven himself to be an effective fighter in the clinch. Junior Daniel however prefers to stay on the outside and so far during his career has shied away from the clinch. This could well be where the fight is won and lost!
Don’t be fooled however as Brewer could get his light knocked out long before the fight ever makes it to the clinch!
I cannot wait for this one! BANZAI COMBAT history will be made when the words “And the new”……. are announced come Saturday
Co-Main Event – Heavyweight - Theo Almeida vs Zaid Silva
As if our main event wasn’t enough the Co-Main event is an absolute cracker! These two men were used as mere stepping stones by our two title contenders in the main event but both Almeida and Silva bounced back immediately with impressive wins to get their careers right back on track!
What an interesting encounter this will be as Almeida holds the wrestling advantage and might fancy taking the fight to the floor. Silva however will be stalking his opponent like prey and you can bet your bottom dollar he will be looking for the KO!
The winner might even put themselves in line for the next title shot and what a storyline it would be if it worked out that Almeida wins and gets a title shot against Brewer, or likewise for Silva if he wins, it might work out that he gets an opportunity to avenge his defeat to Daniel in a title match!
This intriguing heavyweight storyline will work itself out come Saturday!
Bantamweight - Arnaud De Gindra vs John Doe
A complete shift in gears for this next fight as two undefeated fighters make their BANZAI COMBAT Debut! This one could well go to the ground but John “Master Flow” Doe has good stand-up ability as well, and may try to use that to his advantage.
De Gindra is a couple of years older than his opponent which may give him a slight advantage but expect an exciting grappling contest in this one.
Light-Heavyweight - Gonzo Dragosavac vs Billy Binch
Dad bod of the year winner Gonzo Dragosavac spent his days streetfighting back in Serbia before he was spotted and taken to Montreal to put his fists to good use as an MMA fighter.
His opponent Billy Binch is a one-man wrecking machine and will not be intimidated in the slightest!
This one could end in the blink of an eye!
Welterweight - Justine Hyper vs Dany Moreno
Justine Hyper is a completely unknown quantity from the Philippines making his MMA debut.
His opponent, Danny Moreno is giving away a year in age but with his proficient wrestling and strong boxing skills he will be hoping to keep this fight standing and look for the KO.
UNDERCARD
Heavyweight - Matt Field vs Under Walker
I honestly thought we had made an administration error when I looked at Matt Field’s height! Stocky is the word! And he is fighting a bit of a stick! What unusual looking pair these two will be in the cage on Saturday! Lol
Field may come like a cannonball at his opponent or he might get nowhere near him. I am interested to see what transpires in this one.
Bantamweight- Yip Man vs Petsilathai Sitsongrit
I smell a test fight! Does anyone else smell a test fight? BANZAI COMBAT is privileged to welcome back the game’s No 1 Manager Theksit Ruengruong as one of the newest members of the Sitsongrit camp, Petsilathai Sitsongrit comes to show us what he has got! I wonder does he like pizza? Lol
His opponent Yip Man is another 18 year old creation making his debut on Saturday!
Featherweight Augier De Rabat vs Seung Woo Choi
Next!
Haha - Only joking! These 2 fighters are both coming off loosing streaks but a good win for either of them will get their careers back on track.
Choi has the advantage in stand-up whilst his opponent has the better wrestling and BJJ skills. These types of fights always make an interesting match-up!
Featherweight - Brandon Hera vs Enrique Rivera
Enrique Rivera was bitterly disappointed to lose a unanimous decision on his MMA debut. Today he announced on his social media the following message – “Two more days till I can show the world what I can really do! #Banzai #BC12”
The highly motivated Rivera will be fighting an opponent who may want to take this one to the ground. Super excited for this fight! It promises to be a good one!
Welterweight - Alexander Frost vs Tre Davis
Alexander Frost comes into his BANZAI COMBAT debut on a 5-fight win street! He will be looking to throw his little opponent around for a while, take him to the ground and submit him!
Tre Davis’s only hope will be to keep this one standing.
