This Saturday, HERO FC is holding another event that you can watch on PPV and let’s face it – you’ll be a fool if you don’t because HERO 47: Olson vs Murphy will no doubt entertain everyone who is a fan of martial arts. The match ups we have for you will make your day – it is cheaper then hookers and you are still watching sweat and naked bodies, what could be better then that?! The card features former champions, young and talented prospects, exciting new additions to the ranks and a main event for the middleweight title – Olson will put his belt on the line against Murphy. Let’s see exactly what will go down on Saturday, so that you can choose which fighters are suitable targets for your overpriced drinks and which ones deserve your standing ovations:
Preliminary card:
Liam Nate (9-9-1) v Mike "Asme" Stillao (4-6-0)
Featherweight
Liam Nate is generally a hard worker and a real veteran, but this time his training didn’t go so well and his motivation seems to be missing so Stillao’s grappling might be more then Nate could handle at the moment.
Henderson Braga (1-0-0) v Warmonger Sion (4-5-0)
Heavyweight
Warmonger Sion has seen a lot of the HERO cage so he has the experience over his opponent tonight. Sion prefers to grapple with his opponents, but Henderson is a BJJ black belt so that won’t be really smart. His hands can smart too, so Sion has to be really careful with his approach otherwise he will have a quick and unpleasant night.
Conor "Monster" Heatrt (6-7-0) v Dan "No" Love (6-8-0)
Bantamweight
Heartr is having it really tough recently as he had been finished in his last fights from numerous guys including his next opponent – Dan Love. Conor things he is ready to get back to his winning ways and will look to avenge one of his losses. Love looked out of shape at the weigh-ins so maybe he won’t have the energy to do what he did when those two met for the first time.
Jaarko Hahlund (7-7-0) v Mertsi "Teufel Jr" Peltola (5-6-0)
Light heavyweight
Hahlund is a confident striker and in time it was revealed that the easy way of beating him is to take him down. Peltola has a couple of submissions in his record so Jaarko has to put some serious effort to stay on the feet, otherwise he might find himself missing a limb… or maybe two, cuz I heard the ref for the fight was a new guy – just got out of prison after a murder or two.
"The Elbow" Charles Cooper (6-4-0) v Jake Shields (3-3-0)
Welterweight
Everybody knows what Cooper does in his fights – presses you up against the cage and starts to unload with elbows. Jake Shields couldn’t do anything about it the first time they met and got KOed, but that was then. He believes he has improved immensely and will look to show it tomorrow.
Main card
"General" Liang Guanglie (2-1-0) v Markus "Dr Pepper" Heinola (5-5-0)
Heavyweight
What better way to start a PPV then a fight featuring two guys with 13 fights both, all of them ending in a KO. I’m telling you, this one will end with one of those two laying motionless. Heinola might just be the most entertaining guy to watch – he is a total nut job. He tries to take your head off and the only way to stop him is to do the same thing to him before that. Guanglie doesn’t look like he is any different and has the boxing to make that kind of style very successful.
Dae Jung Pak (7-5-0) v Chuck Vogelpohl (5-4-0)
Welterweight
This is a very intruguing welterweight clash as Dae Jung Pak can beat anyone in the division if he is having a good night and Chuck Vogelpohl has won 3 of his last 4 fights. They both are well rounded so wherever the fight goes, it will be a technical one. I won’t be surprised if the winner of this one becomes the dark horse of the division and really open our eyes about his real capabilities.
"Bate" Boyko Borisov (8-6-0) v Guy "Skull Pirate" McKain (3-0-0)
Heavyweight
Boyko Borisov looked like the HW GOAT at one point of his career but he has suffered 3 losses in his last 4 fights and many people consider him washed up. I wouldn’t go that far tough. I think he needs to regain his focus and motivation and rely on his strengths. His opponent is a new comer, but I sense he is already hated by AJ, because facing off against Boyko Borisov in your HERO debut is a bit harsh… lightly said. McKain definitely has the tools to beat Boyko. He’s an incredible wrestler with a BJJ brown belt and is no slouch in the stand up as well so expect a very even and eventful fight.
Johan Fredrikson (11-0-0) v Kaheli Sonni (6-2-0)
Welterweight. Co main event.
When I found out Johan Fredrikson is coming into HERO, I couldn’t believe it! The guy is the Vicious Fighting champion, holds a perfect record with 11 victories and has arrived in the welterweight division with the clear intention to do some serious harm. AJ already stated that the winner of this fight will get the title shot, but if there is someone who can cool the heat, that’s Kaheli Sonni. He is on a 4 fight win streak and has a very serious arsenal that can make Johan consider a quick move to his former org.
Christian "Osmosis" Olson (10-1-0) v Mark Murphy (10-4-0)
Middleweight. Title Fight. Main event!
Christian Olson was a bit overlooked as all the attention was attracted by Albert Fish and Eddie Torrez at one point. That didn’t seem to bother “Osmosis” as he kept on trashing opponents and when he got his chance, he avenged his only loss and took the belt from Torrez. His opponent tonight, Mark Murphy, made his debut on HERO 2 and has had 14 fights in the organization. A real veteran, who deservedly got a title shot after winning 4 straight. Murphy has not held a title to that point although he fought 2 times for it, so will the 3rd fulfil his dream to become a champion? That is very likely if he is able to keep it standing and use his crisp striking efficiently. That won’t be easy as Olson is known for the pressure he puts on opponents and his wrestling is the best in the division. He should be careful as he is closing in the distance because he might pay dearly if he doesn’t.
