 Light Heavyweight Championship


(Champ) Landon Austin vs. (3.) Max Pacioretty


The biggest star in DFC Landon Austin will be defending his LHW belt for the 2nd time this saturday. The champ has been ultra impressive so far and never gone past 1st round in DFC. 21 year old american is heavy favourite in this bout. "The Prince of Punch" is undefeated 9-0 in his MMA career and in latest fan expo fans voted him p4p best fighter in DFC. Austin will always do everything in his power to keep the fans happy, so we  can expect fireworks on saturday.


Sensational wrestler Max Pacioretty will have tough task ahead of him as he gets shot at the tittle in Destiny 37. This will be 2nd time Max has fough for the tittle. In his first tittle shot he lost to former champion Moses Shithole via 4th round TKO, but after that loss he picked up 2 impressive victories that earned him 2nd tittle shot in DFC. Pacioretty's biggest weapon is his wrestling and he will need to use that if he wants to leave with the belt. Max also has strong boxing, but he will need to be careful with Austin's exceptional muay thai and Austin is strong boxer also. Getting the fight to ground might be good idea for the challenger.


 


Heavyweight Championship


(Champ) Coconut Sprinkles vs. (5.) Vincent Mars


Undefeated HW champ Coconut Sprinkles has been DFC champ for long time and he gets his 6th test as a champ this saturday. The scary thing about the Sprinkles is that every single of his tittle defences has ended in 1st round, so in many peoples eyes the champ is undefeatable. Once again Sprinkles is huge favourite in this fight and fans are expecting another 1st round finish. Time will tell who if anyone will dethrone this heavyweight monster.


Vincent Mars earned his tittle shot after 3 consecutive victories. Mars is 3-1 in DFC and all his victories has came by 1st round KO's. His only loss came in his MMA debut against former tittle challenger Kelly Olynyk. Vincent is wonderful boxer and he will probably try to make this a boxing match and probably look for quick KO. His ground game wouldnt probably be good enough against the champ so he needs to keep this one on feet. Vincent is huge guy (217cm) and will be a lot taller than the champ Sprinkles (194cm) so Vincent's reach could be key advantage in this bout.


 


Middleweight


(2.) Odin Tualasamony vs. (4.) Nari Vari


Odin Tualasamony has been very impressive in his 2 DFC bouts and after his latest victory he discussed about tittle shot with DFC President Wessel Error, but they agreed that Odin should fight one more guy in top of the ladder to make sure he is ready for tittle. He is big underdog in this fight, but he has been that in both of his previous DFC bouts and still won them both, so u just cant count out "Dom".


Nari Vari is coming from 2 epic battles against the champ Joe Pae, but he also faced the champ in Destiny 18 for the first time. The recent 2 fights against the champ were barburners. The first 5-round war went to scorecards, but judges couldn't find the winner in the bout, so the first draw in DFC championship history was reality. The 2nd bout was all-out 5-round war again and was judged in favour of the champ Pae via Split Decision. Vari was sooo close to get that belt, but Pae was just lil bit more impressive in judges eyes. Vari is very very hungry to pile up couple of wins and get back to champ. Many people are keen to see Vari vs. Pae 4, but Vari needs to get past Tualasamony before he can even dream about it.
