 Tonight is the night to gamble. We may not have a title fight for you this evening but what do have for you is an entire new list of bookies that will be carrying odds for all of your betting needs. Let me make a few suggestions to you gamblers, if you think something is a sure thing then you should be looking to bet with all the bookies. If you are not one hundred percent on something check out the odds and bet with the book maker that will allow you to make the most money if you are correct. There is no reason not to spread your money out over different bookmakers if it is going to net you more cash. Meet the Future is teamed up with us as well and they will be our merchandise partner once again. So I am sure you want to run out and drop all the cash you can so I am here to make my predictions.







Preliminary Bout Number 1- Bantamweight Fight (135lbs)







King Pin (0-3) {0-2} versus Justin "Glenn" Bostic (3-4) {0-3}







Pin has yet to win a fight and Bostic has yet to win a fight here in Honor Fighting Championship. So one of those things will be broken tonight but the question no becomes who will get that all important first win in HFC? Pin will have the advantage in the stand up and it is overwhelming. So he should be looking to keep this fight standing and use counter striking to shred Bostic. Bostic is a rounded fighter that is not great at anything and not horrible at anything. He will have a slight advantage on the ground so if standing and striking is not working he will need to take Pin down. This is a hard fight to pick but I am going with the fight experience and I am taking Bostic to win by decision.







Preliminary Bout Number 2- Bantamweight (135lbs)







Chierehdk Cknlaskhr (4-3) {0-3} versus Coors "Silver Bullet" Light (1-3-1) {0-3-1}







This fight is similar to the previous fight we have on this card. These fighters combined HFC record is zero six and one. When you combined that with the last two fighters it comes out to zero, eleven, and one. I am not sure if this will affect anyone’s jobs but you would have to think the losers of these two fights would be let go. In this matchup I think Cklaskhr is slightly better off on his feet while Light is the better grappler. I also think Light can handle himself better on his feet than Cklaskhr can handle himself of the ground. I got Light winning this fight by decision, but then again I think I always pick Light and it doesn’t seem to work out typically.







Preliminary Bout Number 3- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)







Bud "King Of Beers" Weiser (3-3) {2-3} versus "Dangerous" Phillip Finnegan (1-2) {1-1}







Weiser has not had an easy time in HFC and it seems that it is getting worse. He is currently on a two fight losing streak and it looks like there is no rebound in sight. He will need to take control of this fight early and keep the advantage if he wants to get on a winning track. Finnegan is coming off his first win and he is posed to make a deep run in the Light Heavyweight Division. He is a top notch striker and if he can stay off the ground with Weiser he should coast to a win. I am picking Finnegan to win by TKO in the second round.







Preliminary Bout Number 4- Bantamweight Fight (135lbs)







Steven "Hecklly" Heck (2-1) {1-1} versus Bruce Lee (3-3) {2-3}







Both of these fighters are coming off losses and neither one of them have an impressive record. With that being said a big win in this fight could propel one of these two back to main card status. Heck is a big time wrestler who has a little striking behind him. He should look to take Lee down at all costs as he will not want to try and box with Lee. Bruce Lee is an amazing striker well trained in both Muay Thai and boxing. He will look to strike with anyone and all three of his wins came by way of TKO. If this fight does not hit the mat Lee will win this fight with no problems. I can see Heck getting a take down or two and controlling most of the fight. Even with Heck controlling most of the bout I still see Lee landing a big shot and winning by knockout in the third round.







Preliminary Bout Number 5- Middleweight Fight (185lbs)







Cap Roundtree (6-3) {1-1} versus Jeffrey Sarpong (7-2-1) {0-0-0}







Roundtree is a striker with some wrestling that can back him up and keep him out of trouble. Cap may not want to strike with Sarpong since I think Jeffrey is the better striker, but the problem with that is Sarpong is a much better grappler than Cap as well. Cap will have a punchers chance though if he can keep the fight standing and that needs to be goal number one. I see Sarpong getting the big takedown early in the fight and pounding out Roundtree. I got Jeffrey winning in the early part of round number one via TKO.







Main Card Bout Number 1- Featherweight Fight (145lbs)







Diego "Firefox ak" Nunes (18-12) {1-1} versus Marcus Chandler (6-3) {0-0}







Nunes is trying to make a home here in HFC. He is currently one and one but he has a huge signature win over Ben Zaylor and that is very impressive. I think Nunes will need to use his crafty veteran tricks of the trade to overcome this young gun. Chandler is a better striker and wrestler than Nunes but Nunes has the better Jiu Jitsu game so Chandler will need to watch out for taking him down. This should be a very good match up and I have a feeling Nunes will be able to goat Chandler into taking him to the ground. From there he will be able to work submissions or win points with sweeps. I am going with Nunes to win this fight by submission in the second round.







Main Card Bout Number 2- Lightweight Fight (155lbs)







Arshnoor "THE BRUTALIZER" Singh (6-2) {2-1} versus Bolius "One round fighter" Kalabokas (4-3) {2-1}







This is going to be a clash of top Lightweights. Both of these guys are two and one in the HFC and both of their losses were delivered by the champion Julius Caesar. Now both of these guys will want another title shot but they will have to go through each other first. Singh is the high kicking Muay Thai striker while Kalabokas is the hard punching boxer. This will surely end in a knock out but by whom? I think Singh’s head kicks will be too much and that is what will get him the win in the second round by knock out in this one.







Main Card Bout Number 3- Bantamweight Fight (135lbs)







"Lord High Executioner" Albert Anastasia (13-3) {1-0} versus "Nobushi" Mitsuyo Maeda (26-20) {1-0}







I truly believe LHE might be the future of the Bantamweight division. He is currently thirteen and three with nine wins coming by way of knockout. He should try and keep this fight standing for as long as possible to give him the best chance to win. He certainly can handle himself on the ground but his opponent is a lot better on the mat. Maeda is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a world class wrestler. He will look to overwhelm LHE with takedown after takedown attempt. If he gets one he sgould be able to win the round but LHE has great defense on the ground and I don’t think Maeda will be able to finish him. I got LHE winning by TKO in the second round.







Co Main Event Main Card Bout Number 4- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)







Kshitij "EL FENOMENO" Singh Negi (11-3) {1-1} versus Mari "Smoke" Juana (9-3) {2-0}







Negi bounced back from his debut loss to Rock Lee just like a future champion would. This highly successful Muay Thai clinch fighter won by TKO in the first round in his last fight. He could struggle in this one taking on a great wrestler but if he mixes more kicks into his game he should be able to maintain a nice balance and really send Juana into a panicked mode. Juana is a wrestler as I stated and loves to take control. He really mixes his game well winning four fights by TKO and five by submission. If he can get this fight to the ground I think he should lean more on the submissions than anything else but that is just an opinion. I don’t see this fight making to the ground though as Negi has awesome KO power and I still have questions about Juana’s chin. I got Negi winning this fight in the first round by TKO do to strikes.







Main Event Main Card Bout Number 5- Lightweight Fight (155lbs)







Riley Cooper (19-5) {1-0} versus Mac Hansen (28-19-1) {0-0}







I think this fight will be more about the rising star than the veteran trying to turn things around. Cooper is nineteen and five with ten wins coming by way of knockout. He should look to put Hansen on his back and try for the ground and pound victory. Hansen is seasoned to put it lightly. He has only come away with twenty eight wins in his forty eight fights. He will be making his debut in HFC and he is trying to turn his career around so this could be a solid win for him. I think these two are evenly matched in the striking but Cooper has the advantage on the ground so Hansen will want to keep it standing. The way I see this going down is Hansen does keep the fight standing but Cooper still wins by TKO in the first round.







Well there is the card, the entire event. I will not give a long ending or disclaimers do to time restraints. I will see you at the fights and keep a look out for my review.
