Hello everyone!!! Welcome to another edition of PRIDE KT's Fight Preview!!!


Before we start, unfortunately due to the short notice of this card , my brother Sully was unable to make it down to do this preview as he is too busy training for his upcoming fight at IMMA 45 Masters vs Moya.  


He then made the hard decision to not preview this week's card, but I THOUGHT I WOULD SAVE THE DAY!!!!! 


But first a quick word from our sponsors. North Atlantic is the premier clothing store in The Island. The stuff ain't cheap, but if you want quality then you should pay for it!! Hit up Mac Nulty for a sponsorship!!! 


And what about this card??? It was on, then it wasn't. And then just like that it's back on!!! I can't wait!!!  What are the first fights? Let's have a look: 


PRIDE: Cast Away II





 Lion Heart v Ryan Angelo


Lion Heart hails from The Bahamas, where a lot of ex-MMA fighters seem to retire. Will that have any effect on his training? Being around so many ex-fighters? Not much is known about this 18 year old, and he makes his debut against kickboxer Ryan Angelo who has already shaken the debut jitters with a victory.


Liam's Prediction: Damned if i know!!! But if i HAD to choose? Lion Heart to come out strong but Angelo to win a close decision.


 


Kick Boxer v Tom Kazanski


2 more 18 year olds making their debut. Kick Boxer was whining about not being able to fight, but was able to get another fight set up against another unknown fighter Kazanski who has the original nickname "The Iceman."


Liam's Prediction: Kick Boxer melt the Ice Man and KO him into a puddle.


 


Riku Kiri v Rosco Mosca


Third fight of the card pits 2 more 18 year olds making their debut. Muay Thai fighter Mosca fights blue belt Kiri. Now while i am in no way doubting Kiri's skills as a fighter, but what the fook is he thinking stepping into the cage in a muay thai fight against a muay thai fighter?? This should be an easy night.


Liam's Prediction: Mosca to walk through Kiri, who will be wondering why he ain't allowed to take him down.


 


Roberto Abreu v Zang Fang


Now for the big boys. Kickboxer "Cyborg" Abreu takes on boxer Fang. Abreu looks really fat while Fang looks less fat. 


Liam's Prediction: Although one hit can end it, i somehow see Abreu missing his power strikes then having nothing left in the tank, leading to a late 1st round TKO for Fang.


 


Guntoff Winnettusk v Dierk Riese


Both men who have already fought in PRIDE. Winnettusk who won a forgettable decision while Riese got knocked out in his debut. Both men have a lot to prove here as Winnettusk will try to stop the crowd from falling asleep while Riese will be looking not to start with 2 losses.


Liam's Prediction: Riese to come out with something to prove and score a close decision to hopefully get some confidence back.


-=BREAK=-


As most you know, my brother trained and fought on the second season of The Island. It was during that time on The Island that he developed the formula of Sully's Home Brew, or Sully's HB for short.


So make your way down to Sully's Bar & Grill and order yourself a bucket of chicken and wash it down with an icy cold Sully's HB. Available in four different flavours.


 Ahhh, Sully's! Official drink of PRIDE KT


But remember to drink responsibly!!


 -=END BREAK=-


ClickClick ClickClick v Vesa Asikainen


Wow. Not very sure about this one. Asikainen made his MMA debut losing a decision in HEAVYWEIGHT while the funnily named ClickClick is making his debut. I have a funny feeling Asikainen will somehow not be allowed to sanctioned to fight as he is injured and 5 pounds overweight.


Liam's Prediction: IF this fight even gets sanctioned, then ClickClick will get the easy victory which will see Asikainen leave in a stretcher.


 


Sagat Petchyindee v Khasar Borjigin


Two midgets now have a turn as both men are looking to bounce back after losses. Khasar has taken his loss like a man and after re-fueling at Sully's i can see this warrior making a comeback.


Liam's Prediction: Khasar to make his triumphant return with a late 2nd round TKO!


 


Silvio Asap v Basil Hastings


Another 2 men who made unsuccessful debuts. Asap comes from a long line of Asap fighters while Hastings talked about head kicking people then was nowhere to be found when he got knocked out. This is a close one, who knows what can happen here?


Liam's Prediction: Asap has a famous name, but Hastings should be able to try those head kicks he promised. Heck, he might even land some. Hastings by boring decision.


 


Sami Bernill v Rakharo Soladdo


Soladdo has only been in the cage 16 seconds while Bernill has lasted 20 mins. Bernill said in an interview that he was happy with his fight?? I dunno what fight he was watching... Maybe he fell asleep while watching the replay and dreamed he was watching one of MY classic fights!


Liam's Prediction: Soladdo to steamroll Bernill with another quick KO.


 


Svend Haraldsson v Andua Rameau Sokoudju


Last but not least, the Heavyweights close up our show with 2 winners. Kickboxer Haraldsson and Boxer Sokoudju both made impressive debuts with 1st round KO's. Excellent way to close the event as any hit can end it.


Sully's Liam's Prediction:"Forkbeard" Haraldsson to be the more sneaky fighter to land first to score his second KO victory.
