Welcome to AXF 4, hosted by Bondi Outdoor Arena in wonderful Sydney, Australia ! As always brought to you by Australian Xtreme Elite Supplements – bringing the elite supplementation for your fighters needs. Now on to Saturdays fights.



Main Event - 155 lbs Singh vs. Bartlet



As our main event we have Arshnoor Singh vs. Josiah Bartlet, two young lightweights who look to storm their divisons ranks. Singh is a towering lightweight with a Kickboxing background, boosting a three wins due to headkick in a row. The excellent kicker who utilizes a variety of flashy kicks will look to see this fight play out standing. Decent Wrestling will help him to fulfil this plan. He will go up against Josiah Bartlet, a man that excels on the ground. Bartlet has a fantastic BJJ and Wrestling background which he utilizes to take the opponent, mostly from the clinch, down and batter him with his deadly elbows. His Kickboxing skills have improved over the time as well. Most probably this will be a typical striker vs. wrestler match-up, but Bartlet could trade kicks with Singh, were the Patalia native will gain the upper hand.



Co-Main Event - 145 lbs Huntti vs. Vamoosh



Next up we have a battle between two young hopefuls that will most likely make the news in their respective careers. Markku Huntti is a Finnish Kickboxer, who has refined his Boxing already to a large degree. He is quick and powerful, with an deadly left hook. He likes to mix up his arsenal of strikes with kicks, but his most dangerous asset are his punches. Standing across the cage is Ravi Vamoosh. The Indian fighter is learned in the traditional art of  Kalarippayat, native of his home Kerala. Boasting a big arsenal of takedowns with which he initates an ground battle that his opponent cant win. Six of his six wins came by TKO due to GnP. Ravi will try to get the fight on the ground, but Hunttis takedown defense is superb. On the feet, Vamoosh is comfortable as well but I see Huntti taking it when it comes to blows.



205 lbs Matthews vs. Sullivan IV



Here we see the wild brawler Clay Matthews and the veteran John L Sullivan IV again. These two KOed their last opponent. Matthews came out victorious of a grueling match with Walter White, that saw him cut. He turned the tables with a stinging right straight that knocked his opponent unconscious. The towering Matthews will most likely set an high pace again. He goes up against the aging Sullivan IV, a power punching Boxer that will give no inch when these two start to trade shots. I see the veteran outlasting his imposing, younger foe here, winning due to a TKO.



145 lbs Poggle vs. Parmesan



In our next fight we have two rookies with a perfect record going up against each other. Timothy Poggle has a BJJ background, but the most obvious talent of this young man is his ability to punch people senseless. Having won almost all of his fights due to TKO, he has shown ground skills but more important excellent Muay Thai and Boxing. Gene Parmesan on the other hand is a pure Wrestler and BJJ player. He wrestles opponents down and works his great submission skills. He may have problems with the strong Poggle, who can fight in any position.



170 lbs Pettis vs. Behnder Jr.



Now we have an rematch. Sergio Pettis is an incredible submission artist, every fight he has won was due to his opponent tapping out. But he will have his hands full with the varied, true Mixed Martial Artist Marcus Behnder Jr. The Canadian can fight from any position and has won from most positions so far. He is powerful enough to be a constant danger standing or if he has an dominant position on the ground. Pettis may have a chance if he gets the fight to the ground, due to him having an edge in BJJ. Otherwise, this fight will be a copy of their last one.



The rest of the nights fights:



135 lbs Urijah Faber v William Sims



170 lbs Tom Haverford v Optimus Prime



185 lbs Hans Huber v King Yento



145 lbs Tom Belichick v Marcus Quinn



185 lbs Allkindsa Bustinchapsup v Vladimir Drake
