Event Preview: UXC WAR Wednesday
Ultimate XC
2014-10-22, The Island, The Underground - The Island
Author:

 Ladies and gentleman Ultimate XC is delighted to bring to you UXC WAR Wednesday that is going to take place October 22 2014 at the The Underground – The Island arena that holds capacity of 1000 people. This card contains some interesting fights that could make or break an MMA fighter, fights that will either launch you to the top or knock you to the bottom. One of those fights are the Co main event between two undefeated fighters and of course the main event for 185 lbs title we've all been waiting for between Morrison and Hurmaaaja.


 
205 lbs bout: Jonathon "Little Slugger" Helm (0-1) vs bo Vito (0-2)
 
A debut fight in Ultimate XC for Jonathon Helm where he is looking to make a fresh start against a 2 time Ultimate XC fighter bo Vito. Jonathon Helm had a disappointing first fight in QFC where he unexpectedly got locked up in a kimura forcing him to tap out in only 18 seconds of the first round. But putting all that aside he is a great boxer that can knock people out in a flash, only a few seconds are necessary for that hand to come flying across the ring smashing bo Vito in the face and knocking him out senseless. Bo Vito on the other hand is desperate for a win coming of a 2 fight loss in Ultimate XC by submission and a vicious KO. He's looking to put the past behind by using his boxing skills and his solid Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills. This fight should end quickly and either man could take this win. My pick is bo Vito in the first round by KO.
 
 
155 lbs bout: Cavan Donovan (0-1) vs Big Dawg (0-0)
 
Second fight of the night is between the newcomer Big Dawg who hasn't had any professional fights and Cavan Donovan who fought once in Ultimate XC and unfortunately losing due to vicious TKO in first round. Cavan Donovan is an amazing boxer who will definitely start aggresively from the beggining trying to knock Big Dawg out and end this fight in the matter of seconds but he might not get his wish fullfiled because Big Dawg is pretty much the mirrored version of Cavan Donovan as they both are amazing boxers and they both hold blue belt in BJJ. At the end of the night it will come to who wants it more and I think it is going to be Cavan Donovan as a expect a brutal KO victory.
 
 
265+ lbs bout: Fat Boy (0-1) vs Chris Barnett (3-0)
 
Now this is a behemoth fight between two incredibly large fighters. And by large I mean not in height but in weight. Fat Boy is 150 cm and Chris Barnett is 176 cm tall. These guys obviously aren't affraid of death so they will step in this ring ready for a 3 rounds all out street fight untill one of them is unable to move. Fat Boy is coming off a unanimous decision loss in his Ultimate XC debut while Chris Barnett is unfamiliar with the word defeat as he is on a hot 3 win first round streak against some tough opponents. Main tactic of these two guys will of course be their extraodinary boxing skills and some great Muay Thai skills while Fat Boy might try a submission or two as he is a purple belt in BJJ. I see this as a first round KO/TKO victory for Chris Barnett.
 
 
155 lbs bout: Brick Head (1-0) vs Hideki Higkiko (2-0)
 
Another 155 lbs bout that consists of two undefeated wrestlers that are making their debut in Ultimate XC. Both fighters are ridiculously talented and hungry for win that might even get them in a title eliminator. Brick Head and Hideki Higkoko won their matches in the exactly same way, unanimous decision victory where they picked apart their opponents untill the bell rung. Two very different fighters with the same agenda, conflict as much pain possible in 3 rounds and get the victory. Brick Head is a tremendous boxer and a great wrestler that will rip you apart with his amazingly strong hands whil Hideki Higkiko is a Muay Thair expert and a master wrestler. Bear with me folks because this fight might go for another 3 rounds but I see it going in favour of Hideki Higkiko.
 
 
135 lbs bout: Icabod Crane (1-1) vs Ronald Raygun (2-0)
 
A battle of two skinny guys whose appearance might trick you because they are holding onto some skills that would take out a much bigger guys than you would think. Icabod Crane making his debut in Ultimate XC coming fresh from his first round TKO victory that completely made us forget his loss that he suffered before that fights. In that fight he dominated his opponent untill he couldn't take it anymore resulting in a vicious TKO. On the other side Ronald Raygun is getting in this fight with a bit more hype riding a 2 fight win streak and his second straight fight in Ultimate XC. A clear favorite looking to extend his winning streak and get in the position of challenging the champion for a title shot. Both fighters hold similar styles, a wrestling experts who are looking to dominate to fight and take you out when you least expect it. I am siding with the hype on this one and choosing Ronald Raygun to win this fight, after all we might be looking at a future champ here.
 
 
205 lbs bout: Bunaidi Pakpahan (2-0) vs ZXz Zxzx (1-1)
 
A rematch between the two fighters who had a great match on Ultimate XC 4. They went all out punching each other as hard as they could untill judges ruled in favour of Pakpahan thus giving Zxzx his first loss of the career. Immediately asking for a rematch he knew that he has to win this fight otherwise his career might take a step forward while Pakpahan gets a star treatment. Pakpahan is a well rounded artist that could use anything he desires in the fight while Zxzx's gameplan is using wrestling in his advantage. This fight could go either way, it could be a smashing KO or a wild and unexpected 3 round brawl. I give advantage to Pakpahani by a thread.
 
 
265+ lbs bout: San Terra (3-0) vs Ike Tyson (1-0)
 
 
Two undefeated big guys that are coming fresh off an amazing two victories and looking to extend their winning streaks. Ike Tyson defeated a fellow Ultimate XC artist who is fighting at this card Fat Boy while San Terra annihilated people outside this company. 3 fight win streak that seems hard to be stopped but will Ultimate XC artist prove that they are tougher than the rest of the organisations? That they hold a different kind of talent that cannot be stopped? We will see that when San Terra who is an amazing boxer and a great wrestler faces off Ike Tyson who is too expert boxer and a great wrestler faces off in a potential 3 round fight. I fear that we may not see a 3 round fight because after all San Terra is a beast and he will get a 1 round TKO/KO.
 
 
185 lbs bout: Massimo Benvenuti (5-0) vs Jonah Sorentino (6-2)
 
Now we are talking! The card is getting hotter and hotter when two dominating talents step in the ring for a brawl. Massimo Benvenuti is on a 5 fight win streak having 4 first round finishes and one third round TKO win while Jonah Sorentino has 6 wins and a 3 fight win streak with the last one being a decision win. Benvenuti is a glorious boxer which he has proven in his fights when he destroyed his opponents ending all of his matches via strikes and punches and Sorentinto looks to use boxing and wrestling to gain control over Benvenuti and neutralize his amazing power. This is a tough decision for me but I must say that I believe Benvenuti will slip one punch through that will knock Sorentino out.
 
 
265 lbs bout: Andrei Alexeyev (3-0) vs Mase Force (4-0)
 
This will be a glorious fight that will end up spectacularly whether it's by a KO, submission or a decision, this is why we love MMA. Two undefeated talents that are riding a hype train that is seemingly unstoppable. Andrei Alexeyev has more effective finishes where all of his fights ended in first round and Mase Force chose to fight his two las bouts to a unanimous decision. Andrei is getting ready to make his second appearence for Ultimate XC while Mase Force is making his debut. And what a debut it is! Two similar fighters holding extraodinary Muay Thair skills and beautiful wrestling skills go toe to toe in a co main event. I believe Alexeyev will swoop this on with a spectacular finish but I may be wrong, it is a tough fight to decide.
 
 
185 lbs title bout: Grant Morrison (5-1) vs Massa Hurmaaaja (4-0)
 
Wow what can I say about this except to sit back and enjoy this fight because it will be a showstealer. Main event of the evening between the new and first even Ultimate XC 185 pounds champion Grant Morrison who is coming off a beautiful first round KO win and the challenge who is a beast looking for champion's blood and a submission expert Massa Hurmaaaja. Grant Morrison is a KO of the night award winner and a well rounded fighter who usually ends his fights in the one minute mark, a fighter who isn't here to look pretty and win fans over with charisma but with his extraodinary finishes that leave people wanting for more. But he never faced an opponent like Massa Hurmaaaja who is a brown belt in BJJ and a respectable wrestler who ends his fight either in submission or with vicious striking that leave his opponent incapacitated and broken in the ring. Scottish champion vs Finnish challenger engage in a epic battle October 22nd for the title in which the result will give us the one true Ultimate XC champion.
 
Prediction: We'll have a new champ.
 
 
A must see event that will give us 10 amazing fights and a night to remember. See you guys Wednesday!
