 DeAngelo Kenner (23-6) vs Devin Styles (19-5)
Colossal heavyweight destruction will headline the night of fights as one of the three prestigious Syn titles on the line in this spectacular PPV attraction. The juggernaut DeAngelo Kenner will take on furious Devin Styles in a compelling rematch for the Syn heavyweight strap. In their first encounter Kenner controlled the majority of the fight with explosive takedowns and his stifling pressure on the ground. Styles was able to weather the assault and put a stamp on the fight with a perfectly placed hook, knocking Kenner down and calling a halt to the contest in the fourth round. Since the loss Kenner has gone on a five fight win streak and captured the Syn championship in impressive fashion, showing that he is a dynamic and ever improving fighter. Styles brings a crucial dose of confidence into the rematch, knowing he has the capacity to end Kenners night with a single well timed strike. Despite the result of their first encounter I believe Kenner has made more gains as a fighter and has what it takes to even the score. He will expend less energy grappling and will engage more on the feet, showcasing his improved stand up game. Kenner will take a Unanimous Decision victory after using all of his skills and approaching the fight in a m ore tactical and surgical fashion
Sergiy Sklyar (27-7-1) vs Henry Morgan (26-16)
Ultra fast and dynamic bantamweight Sergiy Sklyar will put his title up for stake against highly touted Syn newcomer and versatile Henry Morgan. In just 2 short fights with the organization Sklyar has managed to capture the Syn bantamweight championship and retain it in dominant form. He has made his career off of his imposing wrestling game and turning his opponents into mince meat with his staggering ground strikes. He will enjoy a huge confidence boost going into the bout knowing that Morgan has been finished via strikes eleven times in his career. Despite being put away so many times, Morgan has a rock solid offensive arsenal and has a far higher finishing rate than his foe, including ten by way of submission. If the fight takes place on the ground, which I hope it does, it will be a very interesting to see the skills of these bantamweights go head to head. Morgan surely has an advantage in the submission grappling department but he is up against a top game wrecking machine who pounds the shit out of his foes with crippling strikes. I believe Sklyar will crack the ground game of his challenger and retain his title via TKO in the 2nd round
Glen Davis (17-11) vs Leighton Matias (23-12)
The Syn super heavyweight title will finally crown a true champion after being vacated and leaving the division in limbo for some time. The seasoned grappling based veteran Glen Davis will step in to challenge for the title against the favored and destructive Syn standout Leighton Matias. The grappling portion of this titanic matchup arguably favors Davis, who has a dominant wrestling pedigree and boasts several submission wins. Matias however will enjoy a monumental advantage in the striking realm where he is a proven killer and master of the thai boxing style of fighting. Davis would be mad to stand with such a seasoned and talented knockout specialist and surely his best hopes of victory lie in his wrestling skills. There are not many secrets in the gameplans of these goliaths as their preferred styles are layed out for all to see in each fighters history. It is a very much classic bout between a predominant stand up artist vs a predominant grappling guru. I believe Matias has advanced slightly more as a true mixed martial artist and I believe he will finish the fight with knees and win via TKO in the 1st round
Buzz Cloltran (25-4-2) vs Kyle Le Blanc (29-11-1)
The former number one bantamweight in the world all American Buzz Cloltran will continue his pursuit of top tier glory as he takes on long time Syn veteran Kyle Le Blanc in an exciting bout with high implications. The evolution of Cloltran is quite impressive, starting out as a pure grappler and morphing into a true specimen of the art. He has shown very few weaknesses in the latter portion of his career and has not once been finished making him a highly dangerous foe for any opponent. The man who will try to topple this bantamweight monster is highly experienced Kyle Le Blanc, who is equally durable and has the necessary striking skills in which a victory will require. He is a notably excellent boxer and has very smooth hands and that will certainly be the greatest advantage for him in this fight. If he can thwart the wrestling onslaught of Cloltran and keep the fight standing he will put himself in the best position possible to obtain a victory. The skills of Cloltran are however undeniable and he will eventually wear his foe down, seamlessly blending his striking with his grappling game and bringing home a Unanimous Decision victory
Moses Diggs (40-12) vs Johnnie Stalker (25-10-2)
Long time light heavyweight Syn standout Johnnie Stalker will seek to even the score against former champion Moses Diggs in a crucial fight to in which the victor will ascend closer towards title contention. The former title holder Diggs will look to once again to emerge victorious against a man who gave him a serious run for his money and nearly knocked him out in the first frame. Stylistically this is an amazing match up and a rematch was only a matter of time after their absolutely epic first encounter. Diggs was able to weather the storm after being dazed in the first and grapple his way to a very close decision victory, leaving the door wide open for the obvious rematch in the future. Stalker showed tremendous skills in the first bout, nearly claiming a knockout and showing a very active submission game despite being taken down repeatedly. Definitely one of the most intriguing fights on the card making it very hard to predict. I hope Stalker can pull out a victory so we can see the rubber match but I think Diggs will once again show off his tremendous heart and pull out another decision victory
