Tweedle Dee (34-6-1) vs Kostas Charalabous (24-5)
 
Freshly crowned middleweight title holder and ultra durable Tweedle Dee will stake his crown against the violent knockout specialist Kostas Charalabous in a seriously high level encounter. The sheer amount of destruction these men have carved in the middleweight scene is truly something to behold. They both possess brutal raw knockout power but it is Charalabous who stands out as the more consistent finisher. He has stopped almost ninety percent of his wins with strikes which is a phenominal statistic considering he has nearly thirty pro bouts. His grappling prowess is no doubt inferior to the champions so he will be looking to engage in a battle on the feet and dethrone the champion with his dauting power. Tweedle Dee has his hands very much full with this violent challenger and he might choose not to engage in a firefight with the savage competitor. He has never been finished in his lengthy career and has a clear advantage in the grappling aspect, utilizing it well to reach the top of the middleweight heap. Dee will engage just enough to set up his takedowns and neutralize the strengths of the challenger en route to a Unanimous Decision victory
 
K.J. Choi (17-6) vs Brick Tires (14-5-1) 
 
Two heavyweight striking brutes will collide damn well guaranteeing to provide fireworks as Brick Tires takes on fellow striking counterpart K.J. Choi. These men are very comparable in their styles and attributes, both having rock solid chins and a high level of striking capabilities. The main differences between these combatants is that Tires specializes in the thai boxing style and Choi specializes in the sweet science. The only predictable aspect in this match up is that a ground fight is out of the question and that they will engage in a barn burner on the feet. Tires will enjoy a slight advantage in the clinch and has greater developed elbow and knee strikes. Choi brings a slight advantage in hand speed and has literally finished every single win with strikes. It would be foolish to bet on this fight but if I were forced to choose I would say Tires will take the win via KO in round 2 with a crippling series of combinations
 
Codi Gale (28-10) vs David Gilmour (17-5)  
 
Additional heavyweight crushing machines will grace fans with their destruction as Syn veterans David Gilmour and Codi Gale will square off in a barbaric affair. Syn fans will be happy to hear that like the other heavyweight attraction on the card these men are born and bread merciless strikers. Both of their games are designed to nullify grapplers and punish their feeble attempts at an assault on the ground. Gilmour has challenged for the title before and is coming off a very well fought TKO win which was a rather one sided starching. He has highly technical punching and kicking techniques and has beaten many top heavyweights in the game today. Gale is essentially a mirror image of his foe but has fought slightly better competition in his career despite never challenging for the Syn title. In reality this is another toss up fight, both men can easily starch the other at any given time. Let's go with Gilmour though and say that he'll win by TKO in round 3
 
Dragon Slayer (17-5-1) vs Dom Danky (21-10-1) 
 
Three time Syn middleweight combatant Dragon Slayer will look to crash and burn the Syn debut party of Dom Danky, a man who brings a train of momentum into his organizational debut. Slayer, the guy who will welcome him to the Syn family has had good success stifling top opponents with a high volume striking style. He was able to finish many opponents before coming to Syn but has had troubles putting people away in the big leagues. Danky isn't known as a knockout artist and shares the high volume Nick Diaz style of fighting. This will be a war of technical attrition and whoever can maintain the higher pace and wilt their opponent will emerge victorious. I believe Danky will wear his foe down with body punches and well placed kicks while picking him apart with clean, straight strikes. He will take home a Unanimous Decision victory after a very hard fought victory
 
Dante Evangelisti (33-8) vs Randal Pritchard (25-16-1) 
 
The legendary Dante Evangelisti, the last remaining gem of legendary tycoon manager Avon Barksdale will begin his crusade to reclaim his title against the highly dangerous Randal Pritchard. The future Syn hall of famer Evangelisti might the the most loyal and longest serving Syn veteran in organizational history. His career developed under the banner and he has fought nearly thirty times for the organization. He is a true legend in all sense of the word and is still able to compete with the most elite mixed martial artists on the planet. He is a highly fortified wrecking machine, honing his stand up abilities into near perfection. Pritchard is tasked with toppling this specimen of tycoon royalty and certainly has the tools to do it. He has the power to take out any man with the correct punch but he has serious problems absorbing punishment. He has been put away many times in his fighting life and I predict he will fall victim to the legend. Evangelisti is on another level and will win via KO in round 1
