 Hello everyone! i have a thread for HMMA 100 Here it has title history, HoF members, and the official preview also below will be the preview good luck to everyone and thank you :)
Hello fight fans its me again “Sunshine” Weston Markson along with my cohost Rudy “The Box” Knife, we are joined by a special guest John Saunders one of the original HMMA HoFers. Ladies and Gentlemen today’s preview show is to show is for HMMA 100. I cant believe HMMA has finally hit the mark.
Rudy: Wow I cant believe HMMA 100 is up, its been a great run for all of these fighters, managers, and affiliates of HMMA. The time is finally here HMMA hits 100!
John: You know guys I have been here fighting in HMMA since the beginning, its been a long ride and now that HMMA is 100 events old I expect bigger and better things going forward. I talked to TCRES recently and he told me he has huge plans going forward for HMMA.
Weston: It has certainly been a great 99 events so far and the 100th will be huge, lets get into that, HMMA 100 takes place in London where 18000 screaming fans will take to the Knights Court to cheer on their favorite heroes.
Rudy: You know Weston this is also going to be on PPV, now I know TCRES wants to break the 150k PPV buy mark and he is hoping to shatter that getting into the 200K+ region.
John: Do you all even realize all 5 HMMA titles are on the line? ALL FIVE! This is going to be a huge night that will put HMMA on the map as one of the top orgs in all of MMA.
Weston: John not only are all five belts on the line but every one of these fighters except one is ranked in the top 10 of their division and the one fighter who isn’t is right there in the mix and just dropped off the rankings. This is going to be a huge event these guys know how to put on a show the fans will remember and talk about for years to come.
MAIN EVENT
1/C "Boran" Muay Thai (24-10) v #2 Shane Luger (21-4) 265 lbs title
Weston: The main event of HMMA 100 is quite possibly the biggest fight in HMMA history, a heavyweight clash of titans when former champion Shane Luger gets a rematch against the man who recently took his title. The first fight was a close back and forth battle that ended in Muay Thai’s majority decision win. After the fight Muay Thai stated Luger deserved a rematch and a clear cut winner should be crowned here. Luger also wanted a shot to get back the title he had successfully defended 2 times. So here we are a rematch for the heavyweight title and probably the biggest fight in HMMA history.
Rudy: You know how I feel about these two amazing warriors, everyone knows I love a good standup battle, and last time these two met that is exactly what we witnessed, it was one of the most epic toe to toe brawls in HMMA history. This time around I think both of these guys will go for the finish with 34 (T)KO’s between the two of them fight ending power is evident, will we see another epic war or will one of these two assert dominance and make sure there is a clear cut winner?
John: I think they will come out and size each other up, don’t be surprised if these two take their time getting started, they are both very good at picking the right time to strike both fighters land around 60% of their total strikes, although Muay Thai is a little more accurate in his strikes its by a small margin. One thing to watch is Thai has lost 7 times by cut stoppage last time out Thai did a good job of minimizing the damage to a cut he sustained but if this fight goes long the momentum could be on Shane Luger’s side if he is able to cut Thai up.
Prediction: Well guys im going to tell you as a former champion I am probably the man who proved you should never pick against a champion….but with the way titles have been switching hands around here in HMMA I think Lurger stands a great chance here….but ill take the champion Thai by TKO.
CO-MAIN EVENT
#2 Kenny Floor Jan (25-7) v #1/C Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz (26-4) 155 lbs title
Weston: The CO-MAIN event is a huge lightweight title fight between champion Donny Donowitz, and number one contender Kenny Floor Jan. Donny comes into this fight looking like a dominant champion, he has defended the title two straight times including once against the man he took the title from. This however is possibly his biggest test since joining HMMA. Kenny Floor Jan is a veteran of MMA and comes into this fight 2-0 in HMMA knocking off top contenders ranked in the top #3 in both of his fights. This is my early pick for FOTN I expect these two to have one of the most entertaining fights to date.
John: This being one of my former divisions that I held a title means I always watch the outcomes very close. So Far Donowitz has looked unstoppable, and Kenny has looked really good. I think we may see Kenny try to tire Donowitz out making him carry his weight both in the clinch and on the ground while landing strikes to keep the fight where he wants. What do you think Rudy?
Rudy: John I agree actually Floor Jan has a solid clinch game, he lands a high percentage of punches from the clinch and is active with knees, and elbows although he doesn’t land those nearly as often. I think since Floor Jan has better BJJ he may attempt to get this fight to the ground, if “The Bear Jew” has a weakness its on the ground. We all know Donowitz is going to try and keep this fight standing and overwhelm Kenny with strikes, interesting to note that both men have 15 wins by (T)KO so which fighter picks up numer 16?
Prediction: Guys I think Donowitz keeps his title.
MAIN CARD
#1/C Richard "The Lion" Nixon (26-7) v #2 Masaru "Faceless" Hideki (29-10-2) 170 lbs title
Weston: The last fight on the main card is a welterweight title fight between champion Richard Nixon, and challenger Masaru Hideki. Hideki has asked TCRES after every fight when he will get the opportunity to fight for the title. After his last win over Randy Marsh Wilson finally granted Hideki’s wish and gave him an opportunity at the newly crowned champion Richard Nixon. Nixon is the newly crowned champion after beating Brutaali Keijo. After the close decision win Nixon expressed interest in proving he is the deserving champion, his first test in doing so is going to be a good one, but Nixon has the skills, and desire to keep his winning streak going, extend it to 5 wins, and end Hideki’s 5 fight win streak.
Rudy: Huge fight right here between two fighters who know how to finish fights. Nixon has 18 knockouts on his record, and Hideki 16 and one submission to go along with them. Combined they finish in the mid 60%s of their opponents. Hideki has the better ground game of the two fighters and he could very well attempt to get this fight to the ground where he can work on GNP and submissions. He does land 51% of his takedowns, although he doesn’t attempt many averaging just under 2 per fight. Hideki does have very good striking game but he isn’t very accurate with his strikes, he choses to throw power shots in an attempt to damage his opponent and end fights. Nixon however is very accurate in his strikes both with his boxing and Muy Thai. He lands over 70% of his kicks to the leg and body which could be huge in slowing down Hideki and helping him keep the fight standing. In the past he has been able to do just that battering his opponents with kicks and defending 86% of takedowns attempts.
John: Everyone knows I am the greatest WW champion of all time not touting my own horn just stating facts, with that being said both of these men have the ability to surpass me. Hideki already beat me once and let me tell you that guy is as tough as it comes. He takes everything in stride adapts well and finds a way to win. Nixon I havnt had the pleasure of fighting but hopefully one day in the future I will test my skills against his. I can tell though from watching him that he may be the best WW champion the division has seen and in the future he may have the resume to back that up.
Prediction: Only because I have experienced just how tough Hideki is im going to pick him in this one. Hideki by decision.
#1/C "The Great" Nate Barnes (27-14) v #2 "Go"Phukyorselvf Uzannavabizch (23-5-1) 205 lbs title
Weston: Up next is a fight for the light-heavyweight title when newly crowned champion Nate Barnes takes on dangerous challenger Phukyourselvf Uzaanavabizch in a fight that the champion promises will be a fight to remember. Barnes is the ultimate underdog always picked against but time and time again has proven he is the best fighter in the division sitting at 8-2 overall and with the title firmly around his waist the excitement exuberated from this champion is awe inspiring as he looks to defend his title for the first time. PU as well have grown to call him came to HMMA wanting a chance to compete against some of the best fighters that can match his skills. So far with two fights down he has shown to be a huge threat in the division beating a contender and ranked fighter and also taking out the former champion who at one point beat Nate Barnes in a title defense. It will be interesting to see if the MMATH holds true and PU is able to take the title home.
John: Ok everyone the champ said it this will be a fight everyone will be talking about. Plain simple this fight isn’t going to last long, Nate Barnes has 22 wins by (T)KO, and the challenger PU has 15, together they finish over 70% of their fights so don’t expect this one to last late into the championship rounds. Its Barnes boxing that has led him to success in HMMA landing 61% of his punches, with his power landing at that high of a rate has led to devastating knockout victories. PU also lands a good percentage of his strikes he lands a better strikes to the head percentage but not as good going to the body. He does have a considerable advantage on the ground but in the past despite giving up takedowns Barnes has been able to nullify opponents on the ground. I am pretty sure this is going to be a fantastic fight and I think you may see your KOTN come from this one.
Rudy: We all know I have picked against Barnes in the past, and now we all know I will never do that again, after his last fight Barnes made sure I knew I should never pick against him again. I even threw down 1000$ on this fight in favor of Barnes! Recently I had the opportunity to sit down with the newly crowned champion for a little one on one time. I asked him how he felt about his opponent, and how training was coming. Barnes said “I'm feeling really good about this particular fight. I just won the championship so this fight will show and prove that I am really the champ of this division and here to stay.” He also told me “Training is coming good. learning some new moves from my boxing coaches to nulify the hands of Uzannavabizch so I'm excited to show off what I've learned” from those comments I determined Barnes is hoping for a standup battle and banking his takedowns defense is good enough to keep it standing. I took the opportunity to see if Barnes had any bold predictions about the fight “I love to stand and bang and with my opponent also being a standup guy there are going to be alot of fireworks. Someone is gonna hit the mat. Thats what the fans love to see and thats why the fans always love my fights.” I told him that is so true and why im always excited to see him fight being a striker myself he optimizes what im all about, and he does so while being the ultimate underdog. As I was finishing up my time with Barnes he took the mic and said “You are gonna want to tune in for this fight. Might not be the main event but I guarantee its gonna be the fight everyone is left talking about.” Well Barnes in my eyes this is the main event, it’s the fight I am most looking forward too because I always love to watch you fight.
Prediction: I cant pick against him Barnes wins in spectacular fashion KO . I hope your happy Nate J!
#4 "Hellbent" Roger Dunowevil (21-9) v #7 Zoran Miloshevich (20-10)
Weston: The second fight on the main card is a light-heavyweight battle between two ranked HMMA LHW’s. Both of these fighters are young into their HMMA careers, Dunowevil has fought one time having a successful debut in HMMA, and Zoran has fought 3 times, having won two. Both of these men have been ultra impressive and have high expectations that have led them to being ranked highly and looked at as possible contenders in the near future.
Rudy: These two are excellent fighters both KO artists having won 66% of their fights by TKO. Neither of these fighters have good takedowns from striking range having landed less then 10% of takedown attempts, but Zoran does attempt more takedowns from clinch although landing only 12% leads me to believe this fight will be contested at striking distance. I think we will see a standup war Dunowevil is more aggressive throwing almost 23 head punches per fight, and landing near 65% of those. Dunowevil takes his time a little more and picks his strikes more carefully although he doesn’t land a better percentage of his strikes he still tends to counter strike more then Dunowevil.
John: What a great fight this will be, anytime you have a fighters ranked in the top 10 this low on a card you know its going to be a magical night, I expect these two to come out and put on a hell of a show that will help set the tone for the rest of the card. I expect a finish in this fight probably later in the fight.
Prediction: Dunowevil 3rd round TKO.
#4 "Donkey Style AKA Badonk-a" Don Key (25-5-2) v #5 "Peltosaaren Teurastaja" Brutaali Keijo (17-12-1)
Weston: The first fight of the main card is a welterweight fight between two top five ranked Welterweights. Starting the main card off with this names like Don Key and former champion Brutaali Keijo are the perfect way to set the pace and capture the interest of all the fans. These two actually met in July when Keijo then champion successfully defended his title against Don Key, now both men are looking to get back into the mix and earn another shot at the title. For Keijo he just has to do what he did last time take the fight to Don Key use his boxing and try to finish the fight like he nearly did last time. For Key a mistake in strategy cost him the fight he misjudged Keijo and wanted another opportunity at him, with Keijo dropping the title, and then losing another fight, and Key picking up his first win in HMMA the fight made perfect sense for both one will advance and move closer to getting a shot a the title and one will temporarily take a back seat in the croweded divisions contender rankings.
John: WWOOOOH! I love both of these fighters, two great welterweights that bring honor and prestige to our division. I think this fight will be a good rematch and a striking battle, although Keijo has the better ground game he doesn’t use it as much as he could. Actually I think this fight may be decided in the clinch battles. What do you think Rudy?
Rudy: Well John clearly this fight is mostly going to take place at striking distance, but I think that’s going to be very even, you might be right that his fight will be decided in which fighter gets the best of the other in the clinch, both fighters use the clinch but its Key who is more successful from clinch, on the other side of that Keijo is slightly better from striking range then Key, Keijo is also ultra aggressive he come out and immediately turns up the heat, pushes the pace, and forces his opposition to work at his pace.
Prediction: I think Key may take it this time around.
PRELIMS
John: You know fellas the prelims of this event are huge, infact there is a title fight in the last prelim, how often do you see two fighters ranked in the top 75 worldwide of their division fight for the title on the prelims?
Rudy: Your right that’s rare, you know the last time Mr Gray and JPB met for the title the tides were turned JPB was the champion and looking dominant, it was Gray who pulled of the unthinkable by submitting JPB in the first round.
Weston: Well this title fight is definatly one im looking forward too I think its going to be much closer this time around and I think JPB is out for blood after being upset last time around.
John: Guys one of the fights I really want to see on the prelims is the lightweight fight between two top 10 lightweights Frank Reynolds and Malcolm Marshall im really wanting to see if Marshall can stay unbeaten and if Reynolds can continue his climb back to the top and earn another chance to fight for the title.
Weston: I am actually thinking the other Lightweight fight will be great, its opening the night up and anytime 10th ranked Roy Pittbull fights you know its going to be legendary, he is impossible to finish, and very solid all around. The guy he is fighting though Vlad Impaler is very dangerous especially on the ground.
Rudy: Guys im telling you the best fight on the prelims could be the middleweight non title fight between OK fighter and Adolf Jonsen, both of these guys have power and can end the fight at any moment, the tension here is going to be exhilarating.
#1/C Mr "The Gay" Gray (23-11-2) v #2 "The Sterilizer Jean Pierre Babin (18-5) 185 lbs title
#5 Frank "Fast Hands" Reynolds (16-4-2) v #7 Malcolm Marshall (10-0)
#7"Average" OK Fighter (16-4) v #8 "Butcher" Adolf Jonsen (22-7)
#10 Roy "The Wardog" Pittbull (19-9-1) v Vlad Impaler (23-14)
