Undercard

1. Rambo vs Neon - 265lbs

Both fighters coming in from debut losses. Even striking skills but Rambo might having the edge in MT skills. Neon has some size advantage. Who will get his career up and running, who will continue to struggle?

2. Animai vs Diggs - 205lbs

Again two fighters in real need of a victory. Classic boxer-MT setup here and it really feels like a cointoss.

3. Nelson vs Ritz - 265lbs

Roy Nelson making his debut here is a heavyhanded boxer but he is facing stiff opposition here. Ritz is a skilled boxer too and this is most likely not going the dstance. Who is tasting canvas? Well, that is harder to tell really...

4. Santos vs Sturridge - 170lbs

Two EFFA debutants coming in with a 0-1 record. Sturridge is a MT specialists while Santos feels more allrounded. Specialist or generalist, who has the edge?

Main Card

5. Edwards vs Shebanov - 265lb

A boxer - MT mixup here. Edwards can swing up the ranks for real with a win here while Shebanov desperatly wants to bounce back after a disappointing cut loss. Two guys with a lot to prove and even more, I hope, to show.

6. Lembert vs Johsannson - 205lbs

Lembert is a strong boxer and Johsansson is an equaly strong MT fighter. Lembert having a few fights under his belt while Johsannson making his debut here. Good fight expected.

7. Henson vs Bunteknete - 170lbs

Once again we have a Boxer-MT fight. Henson having an reach advantage here being the taller guy but has not yet managed to win by KO in 5 fights. Bunteknete is making his debut but is reported to have a good punch. Can he come in close enough to deliver?

8. Crane vs Pericic - 205lbs

Two fighters coming in from a winning debut. Pericic scored an impressing KO while Crane outmaneuvered his opponent for a decision win. Both fighters eager to keep his undefeated record intact this is given to be one of the highlights of the event.

CO-MAIN EVENT

9. Chell vs Peterson - 155lbs

Titlefight decider here. Who will get the opportunity to fight for the lightweight title? Two boxers will clash hard here. Chell being a debutant must overcome both the atmosphere in Wild Bobs and his more experienced opponent. Is that to much to ask? I have a feeling he has an ace in the sleeve we haven't seen yet.

MAIN EVENT

10. Brawler vs Hammer - HEAVYWEIGHT TITLEFIGHT

Who will come out on top and be crowned as the first ever EFFA heavyweight Champion? Brooklyn Brawler is a solid, hardhitting boxer that has proven he has a good gas tank to go the distance. Jack Hammer has finished both his fights in the first round so there is plenty of MT-dynamite there. Explosions guaranteed!!

Good luck to all participating fighters!!!
