12th December 2015
The Underground, New York
With the sound of drums beating and the city buzzing the lights come on in The Underground in the heart of New York as Primal Combat finally kicks off. One thousand fans are expected to cram into the undeground to witness the birth a new sensation in the 280k landscape and the beginning of some of the most promising young fighters careers in the tycoon world.
Main Event
Marcin Piechocki vs Marcin Hard
The nights main event sees two young Polish born light heavyweights collide in what should be an exiting and aggressive fight. Piechocki is a ground and pound machine, running through his first 5 professional fights with first round finishes, his ability to absorb his opponents shots and come forward for the takedown are a credit to his chin and confidence in his own offence, there's no secret to what Piechocki will be looking to do and if this one hits the mat and the hammerfists start raining down we might be going home early.
Marcin Hard is a more rounded fighter whos only professional fight saw him take his opponent down and grind out a ground and pound victory by the way of decision, despite not having the same stopping power or wrestling pedigree as Piechocki he may still look to employ the same gameplan in the hopes of landing on top on the ground and stiffling his opponents offensive tactics.
Will we see two grapplers look for the takedown all fight, or will Hard look to keep this one on the feet to batter the more skilled wrestler Piechocki?
Co-Main Event
Marko Falconi vs Zlad Masters
Middleweight prospects clash in the co-main event in a fight that sees the Kiwi native, "Falco" square off with the exciting grappling prospect out of the USA Zlad Masters. Falconi, a scarily aggressive boxer who throws combos all fight will be looking to rush forward and blitz his opponent before he can even think about attempting a takedown. Falconis ability to just keep pushing the pace and come forward will be his key to victory in this one, if he tires out and ends up on the mat he may see himself submit to Masters.
American prospect Masters come into this fight with an undefeated record with two submission wins, an improving striker with sharp grappling skills, he will be looking to drag the rampaging Falconi down to the mat to twist his limbs off.
Expect fireworks and alot of action in this fight, Falconi is a rabid animal inside the cage and Masters is a slick technician, which style will come out on top?
Featherweight Fight
Deair Shaw vs Brandon Longson
Two 25 year old featherweights get their chance to separate themselves from a deep division in this featured fight, with sprawl and brawl boxer Shaw stepping into the cage with BJJ gun Longson. "Killer" Shaw has all the tools to be a good fighter, with a chin made of granite and huge stopping power in his hands the only way to stop him is to take him down. Growing up in Vegas, "Killer" is no stranger to the fight scene. Currently training out of Hilo with the Gracie Barra camp, this striker could be a force in this division for some time to come.
"The Wizard" Longson, a native to England moved out to Los Angeles looking for a chance to strut his stuff inside the cage, with two submission wins from his three pro fights, he is a dangerous opponent for anyone in the division, despite lacking striking skills his BJJ brown belt can never be discounted as it only takes a short moment for him to coil you up and take a limb.
Determination and heart will see Longson hang in there and absorb the strikes of Shaw, if he can hang on long enough he might just get this one to the ground and score the win.
