 We are back one day after everyone has blown their pockets dry satisfying the woman of their life right now, or you are the happy guy who didn’t spend a dime because youre single or timed an argument at the perfect time. Nevertheless you all returned to your main woman (MMATycoon). Heavyweight prize fighting has put together another 10 fight card scheduled for Saturday night in the midst of Machida vs Mousasi where we will have our own fun boiling over.



 



First,



George “Easy Bake” Oven vs Kent Phillips



195lbs 185cm (17-10-2) vs 265lbs 197cm (16-5)



Easy Bake has just arrived from Heroic and will make his HWP debut Saturday as he will look to be a contender since snapping his 3 fight losing streak with a win over Jim Beam.  This will be the first time Easy Bake will get into the octagon with a heavyweight fighter, in this case coming in 70lbs lighter than his foe. Will his quickness be enough to assist this knockout fighter to victory or will ground striking skill play a major role if this fight gets to the ground? I think Kent Phillips will accept neither of those options. On a 5 fight win streak, Phillips will look to keep the fight standing and show HWP yet again just how efficient he is on his feet. He lands the majority of his punches to the head and body and has good enough kicking and clinching skills to be considered a great kickboxer if he ever tried. Most importantly I think his size and power (14/16 KO victories) to lead him to one solid strike away from holding his fists up in celebration again Saturday.



 



Bla Bla Bla vs Asshole Gracie



264lbs 180cm (20-15) – 280lbs 190cm (52-22)



This fight will display two of HWP’s most active fighters in history going at it in a true heavyweight war. As you know, Asshole Gracie will look to get the fight on the ground and pound away at Bla Bla Bla's face, but I think Bla will shock Gracie and use his wrestling prowess to take a shot at keeping the fight standing. Bla has improved his striking in the standup and although he is not too impressive there, he is better than Gracie and if he can keep the fight standing I think he will be able to win on points. The other interesting factor is while Gracie has shown that he can dominate the best on the ground, Bla Bla Bla has shown that he isnt too shabby there as well. It will be interesting to see if he can keep the fight standing or avoid being turned to mashed potatoes on the bottom for the duration of this bout.







Heimo Hulahula vs Sunny Supernova



182lbs 176cm (36-18-2) – 180lbs 183cm (35-12)



In our next fight, two big names in smaller bodies that have found success here in Heavyweight Prize fighting, Hulahula and Supernova will meet for the first time ever in a traditional middleweight bout where both fighters have an extensive career thus far looking to add wins. Supernova felt as if he was on top of the world until he was defeated by Jeremy Jackson for the second time. He had smooth sailing as he dismantled Hiranuka Stakanu, Carlos Cierra and Nick Gaston but fell short once more against JJ during his reign. Hulahula on the other hand has found himself sitting at .500 since joining HWP and not dominating quite as easy as he did in CWFL earlier in his career. I think that Heimo will get his ship back on track Saturday with a win over Supernova by dominating his wrestling game and getting the fight to the ground often. 







Cro Copout vs Carlos Cierra



285lbs 219cm (55-19) – 285lbs 197cm (19-8)



Cro Copout has gone on MANY win streaks following up losses with 5 or more wins almost every time. He has been very impressive and overall a HWP hall of fame candidate especially since hes spent his entire life here. 55 wins and shooting for 60 with a good 6 or so more years left to battle, he has a fairly favorable match this weekend. Carlos Cierra is more of a heavy hitting all around type fighter and in this fight, as many usually give a fighter with a height advantage a better chance at winning. I think that Cierra has an excellent opportunity to get in close, clinch and bang his opponents body until he “Cops out.” While both fighters weigh literally exactly the same weight, with a 9 inch height disadvantage, Cierra will have a large strike zone to swing in to the body with hooks and knees. I think Copout will want to keep his distance in this one.







Thank you all for reading and joining us again for another Heavyweight Prize fighting event and the start of a great, violent weekend. Good luck to all fighters taking part in this one and as always you can take this one to the bookies in sin city! TO ALL ENJOY!
