Barbarian Betting will have all the odds for you on tonight’s Barbarian Fight Time 7. They will also cover your odds on all Honor Fighting Championship events as well as UFC events, so if you are a gambler please drop by. MANGO nutrition is still our current merchandise partner but I am not sure for how long as we haven’t seen Mr. Crowley in a while.


 


Preliminary Bout Number 1- Lightweight Fight (155lbs)


 


Van "Beast" Damme (3-2) {2-1} versus Floyd "Money" Mayweather (2-3) {1-2}


 


I had high hopes for both of these fighters when they joined Barbarian Fight Club but now I am not so sure. We have seen little to no improvement from either of these guys and I think both of them should be looking for a new gym and a new camp. These two fighters are pretty even on the ground and I think Mayweather is the better of the two in striking. It should be a good stand up bout and I am prediction Mayweather to win by TKO in the second round.


 


Preliminary Bout Number 2- Welterweight Fight (170lbs)


 


Danilo Meireles (1-0) {1-0} versus Matt "The Immortal " Brown (1-0) {1-0}


 


Both of these guys won their first fights which were both of their debuts in Barbarian Fight Club. These two will battle it out to see who will remain undefeated in Barbarian Fight Club. Meireles is the much better wrestler in this fight and he should look to take advantage of that. His goal in this one should be to put Brown on his back as much as possible. Brown will have a disadvantage on the ground, but he will have the advantage in the striking. I see him being able to dominate Danilo on the feet so I have to pick Meireles to win. I think he will secure the TKO victory in the second round via ground and pound.


 


Preliminary Bout Number 3- Bantamweight Fight (135lbs)


 


Hakeem Ali (2-1) {1-0} versus Brahma "Beer Master" Cervejinha (1-2) {1-1}


 


This will be a very interesting fight. Brahma is the better striker and he is a better wrestler. That says he should win, but Ali does have the better Jiu Jitsu. So if the fight goes to the ground even if Brahma has the better wrestling he could get submitted. If I was him I would keep this fight standing for as long as possible. If the fight does stay on the feet Brahma could win the fight with a knockout but regardless he will dominate the fight in a points aspect. I think Brahma wins this fight by decision in a very close fight.


 


Preliminary Bout Number 4- Bantamweight Fight (135lbs)


 


Katsu "The Dragon " Nakamura (0-0) {0-0} versus Sergei "Зве" Shunkov (2-3) {2-2}


 


The eighteen year old Nakamura will be making his debut as a professional fighter. I am not sure if he is ready to begin his career just yet but he must feel confident since he is fighting at such a young age. Katsu I don’t think has an advantage anywhere in this fight so he will want to get crafty and mix up his attacks. Since Sergei is the better fighter I think it would be in his best interest to go right after Katsu’s weaknesses and target him with submissions. He will want to get this fight to the ground right away and then start looking for a submission. I think this will be a back and forth fight and I am going to pick the underdog to win and go with Nakamura to win by unanimous decision.


 


Preliminary Bout Number 5- Lightweight Fight (155lbs)


 


Dan "Fist" Dimont (1-0) {0-0} versus Nego "Café" Dobom (5-0) {4-0}


 


Let’s not make it easy on anyone. Dimont will be making his debut in BFC and he has to take on the undefeated Nego Dobom. Dan will have an advantage on the ground and if he can get the fight down to the mat he has a great chance of submitting Dobom. Nego is one of the best game planners in BFC and that has lead him to a four and o record in BFC and a five and o record overall. He has three wins by decision, one by submission, and one knockout via head kick in his last fight. Since he is more of a point fighter than anything else this could be a bad match up for him, but if he comes out head hunting again he should win this one with ease. I got Nego Dobom winning by TKO in the second round as long as he stays off the ground.


 


Main Card Bout Number 1- Lightweight Fight (155lbs)


 


Ole "Bad Seed" NKone (2-0) {0-0} versus Sponge Bones (2-2) {1-2}


 


I am looking forward to this fight big time. Ole is making his BFC debut and he is on a two fight win streak and he could be the real deal at lightweight. This nineteen year old is has developed his skills nicely and he should use his wrestling to keep the fight standing and then use his boxing to win this fight. Bones will want to get the fight to the ground so he can use his Jiu Jitsu to win the fight. Bones has to be down and out since he is coming off two straight losses and I think that streak continues. I got NKone to win this fight by TKO in the first round.


 


Main Card Bout Number 2- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)


 


Alessandro "Carrara" Chiara (3-1) {0-0} versus Bastian Mayer (3-0) {0-0}


 


Both of these fighters will be steeping up there normal level of competition. This could be the spark of one of these guys fighting careers and I am sure the one that wins will move up the ranks in BFC. Chiara is a submission fighter and he has won two fights by tap out. He is a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu but it will be tough to get the fight to the mat. Mayer has a good wrestling base and he will want to keep the fight standing up. He is a great boxer and he mixes his strikes well. He has won two fights by knockout both via superman punch. I think Mayer will have no trouble keeping the fight standing in which he will then overwhelm Chiara with his boxing. I got Mayer winning by knockout in the first round.


 


Main Card Bout Number 3- Middleweight Fight (185lbs)


 


Teseu "Phoenix" Nogueira (2-0) {1-0} versus Mike Sinatra (2-0) {1-0}


 


This fight is one of the most interesting fights on the card. Both of these fighters have a similar wrestling background but they use their skills in different ways. Teseu will look to keep the fight standing where he can try and turn the fight into a boxing match which will be to his benefit. Sinatra will want to obviously get the fight to the ground where he can utilize his knowledge in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He is currently a brown belt and he will look to submit Teseu at all costs. I am going to take Sinatra to win this fight by submission in the second round.


 


Co Main Event Main Card Bout Number 4- Bantamweight Fight (135lbs)


 


Bruno Da Gaucho (10-1) {1-0} versus Howard "Engineer" Holowitz (3-1) {3-1}


 


This should be an easy fight for Da Gaucho. Holowitz is a wrestler and he loves to take fights to the ground. I am not even sure he knows how to stand up and strike. On the ground he looks for submissions as much as he can. Da Gaucho has more wins by submission than Holowitz has had fights. Bruno is a brown belt and is a much better grappler than Holowitz and he should be able to win this fight in the first round.


 


Main Event Main Card Bout Number 5- Welterweight Fight (170lbs)


 


Chiamaka "Vuvuzela" Congo (9-1) {3-1} versus Rajesh "Raj" Koothrappali (4-1-1) {4-1-1}


 


This should be a great fight betweent a striker and a grappler. If you take the welterweight champion Newton out of these two’s records both of them would be undefeated. On top of that they might be fighting to see who will get the first chance at the new champion. Congo is a clinch fighter who loves to overwhelm from the clinch with punches. Koothrappali is a submission artist who will look to get the fight to the ground by any means. If the fight ends up on the ground Koothrappali wil win the fight in a short amount of time. As long as Congo has worked on his takedown defense and he can protect guard from being pulled he should be able to win this fight with ease. That’s the way I see it going down and I have Congo winning by TKO in the first round.


 


Well that will wrap up Barbarian Fight Time 7 I can’t wait to see the event. Please make sure you get to Barbarian Betting to make bets on all BFC and HFC fights.
