 PREVIEW


EFFA 38 - RUSH HOUR


Preliminaries


Ellison - Lincoln   155lbs


Two fighters in dire need of a win. Lincoln has some experience to rely on while Ellison has a slight weight advantage. Otherwise evenly matched. Think Lincoln nods it on decision.


Turk - Morris   265lbs


Again two fighters who need to start to win. Both fighters are strikers and Morris is the slightly larger guy here. But I put my chin out and say Turk by KO.


Borukievicz - Manzini   205lbs


Two wellrounded KT fighters here. Manzini makes EFFA debute and Borukievicz lost his debute and is keen to bounce back straight away here. Very hard one to judge, but Manzini by decision perhaps?


Ali Bashi - Kuiper   205lbs


Boxer vs MT, my favourite matchup. Two young fighters clashing. Ali Bashi making EFFA debute while Kuiper lost his debute last time around. Hard to say how this turn out but I think my guts tells me to put a dime on Kuiper here, or do they try to tell me I'm hungry?


Philabaum - Wayne   205lbs


Again a Boxer vs MT setup. These two fighters are very even on paper so it´s hard to predict it. Wayne won his debute in EFFA last time around and Philabaum wants to do the same here. But I think Wayne might have the edge afterall.


MAIN CARD


Taggart - Tahuna   155lbs


Two of the top contenders in this division. Both guys has one loss in EFFA and that is to the current champ Jani Tor. One of them will soon have two. This is two worldclass fighters so it is hard to call this but Tahuna feels hotter. 


Keskisarja - Viles   170lbs


Both guys been top contenders for awhile and while Keskisarja has had the chance on the belt but lost, Viles still has not been given a shot at it. A win here and he should surely be very close.


Jones - Braves   265lbs


A fight for the interrim title you might call it. Since McCoy is defending his Openweight title this two guys is waiting for an opportunity to challenge McCoy for his heavyweight belt. The winner will be first in line.


COMAIN EVENT


Grunge - Kaczjarg  170lbs  TITLEFIGHT


Grunge had the chance to pick a challenger before his next mandatory defence. It surely looks like he took an easy pick but don't count out Kaczjarg just yet. This guy has been awsome in his two previous fights and will surely go allout to make an upset that shakes the world. Grunge still favourite, of course.


MAIN EVENT


McCoy - Schrank    Openweight   TITLEFIGHT


McCoy defends the title for the first time and Schrank might be the toughest opponent in his career so far. This is two really badass dudes who can hurt you with any part of their body. I expect nothing but fireworks and fullout war here! McCoy is favourite, but only by a hair...


Good luck everyone and THANK YOU ALL for making EFFA great!
