 Aloha Tycooners, Justin Credible here bringing you yet another preview for Island FC. Tonight (and every other night afterwards) I’ll be previewing the Main Card ONLY, but giving my predictions on the whole card. Hopefully my writing is so good it acts as an incentive for people to break into the main card! Without any further ado…. Let’s go!
Alpha Gamma v Vito Blaze starts our main card off! This is a bit of a head scratcher in terms of match making, but I’ve just grown accustomed to seeing weird fight match-ups here at IFC that they’re becoming quite normal, plus they’re paying me pretty well, so…. Moving on.
Vito Blaze is a rising star here on The Island and many believe he might emerge as the best fighter on The Island this season, which is very high praise because it is a dog fight here! He boasts a wonderful boxing background and some very explosive power. Will he be taking on someone with too much skill and experience in only his second IFC fight? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure, I am anxious to see if the hype is real. His opponent Alpha Gamma is one of the first real stars of the Island, he is etched in history as being the first Island FC 145lb champion! He was beaten in his last fight by his Achilles heel, BJJ, falling victim to an arm bar so perfect it got Ronda Rousey wet. He has vowed to comeback even stronger and make Vito Blaze his masterpiece, his Mona Lisa… only without a smile and with more blood, so not really Mona Lisa at all, but I wasn’t going to be the one to tell him that. This fight should be a war on the feet with both men looking for a finish and grab some of that bonus money. I’m picking the former champ, Alpha Gamma to return to his winning ways (Sorry Vito!).
Moving on we have, Jerry Johnson v Eric Gabriel which is sure to be an exciting fight! Larry Johnson is one scary looking dude and he fights the way he looks. After falling victim to a submission in his first fight (to the now champion) he’s reeled off 2 impressive wins. He’s looking to notch another W in this fight and hopefully gain a chance to avenge his loss and earn a title shot. He’s said that now he trains with the proper coaches and knows how to utilize his boxing like he never had before, which should help him out tremendously in this fight. Eric Gabriel has had a bit of a roller coaster of a career on The Island thus far, he started off 2-0 and alternated wins and losses in his next 3 fights. He possesses an exciting fighting style that makes highlight reel KO’s a very common thing, the only bad thing…sometimes he’s the one getting KO’d, 4 of his 5 professional fights have ended in the first round. He’s a fan favorite but one has to wonder, just how long can he keep getting into battles like this? I’m excited for this one and the smart money is on a finish, I’m picking Larry Johnson to take home the W in this fight and cement his spot for the next title shot!
Theodore Thundercunt v Papa Shango comes at you next! Two undefeated brawlers looking to earn their chance at gold go to war in this one. Both men are 3-0 and have 5 KO’s between them, meaning they hit…hard! Theodore Thundercunt is part of a family of Cunts that have Thunderous punches (see what I did there?) He is a boxer who knows how to use his footwork and angles to his advantage, he also understands that The Island is a marathon, not a sprint. He said, “These guys are going out here and just trading punch for punch, taking a beating in order for a bonus…Not me, I’m in it for the grand prize, as long as I keep winning, those 0’s will increase, right JJ?” Papa Shango (known to some as Charles Wright) was a famous boxer in New Orleans, but decided after practicing voodoo he wanted to try his hand at MMA. He went on to win 3 titles in Amateur MMA and despite very high offers from SP-ICON he decided to prove himself on The Island and it is paying off! He’s 3-0 and all 3 fights have been finishes, 2 of which earned him bonus money, and free rounds at Sully’s! He’s a huge crowd favorite and it’s not hard to see why, he is exciting! I’m picking Papa Shango in this one, because...I heard what he did to a certain wrestler, and hell no!
CO-MAIN EVENT: Jake Belcher v DJ Jordan: DJ Jordan was on the verge of a title shot only to come up short in his last fight, he’s looking to make his way back up the ladder with this fight. All 4 of his fights have been finishes and his last loss was a tad controversial, many in attendance thought the stoppage was early. “Yeah that stoppage was early, I was defending myself and talking shit to Count Fool the whole time, he must’ve paid off someone, probably that insane ref. Let me tell you this after I beat Belcher, I’ll get my revenge…MWAH HAHAHA!” Jake Belcher is another fighter who will forever be a legend on The Island as the first ever 170lb king! His last fight was a very big disappointment, he was up 3 rounds to 1 and fell victim to an arm bar. Visibly upset he was not happy that he tapped and vowed that next time, they’d have to break it. He’s said that he learned from that mistake and is a better fighter for it. He’ll use his wrestling pedigree to neutralize the dangerous Muay Thai of his opponent. “You’ll see why I was the first champion, and why I’ll be the last as well.” Said Belcher. This one will be good, very tough fight to call, but I’m going with Jake Belcher to win, who doesn’t love a good comeback story, right?
MAIN EVENT TIME! WE GOT Otis Whittaker v Jon Jon Stanley for the Heavyweight Title! Our fighters come into this fight very evenly matched, both men will no doubt be looking to stand and trade in this one. Jon Jon Stanley is 4-1 on a 2 fight winning streak and avenged his loss to Ting Tong Gracie in dominant fashion. He’s taken some time off to train, but he’s ready to come back and win the IFC Heavyweight strap saying, “I’ve prepared very well for this fight and I’m ready to show the world what I’m capable of. Hats off to Otis Whittaker for being the first champion and shining my belt for me, but time to give it back to daddy now…play times over.” Otis Whittaker is the first Heavyweight champion in IFC history (geez I’ve been saying that a lot) and plans on being the only Heavyweight champion as well. “Being a great QFC fighter is like being great a minor league baseball player, sure you’re good and everything but once you get to the majors… It’s a whole new ball game. He’s not ready for this….” Said Whittaker. Otis Whittaker is a violent man needing only 4 minutes and 39 seconds to defeat all 3 of his opponents on his way to his title. One thing is for certain, in order to take this belt from him, you better be ready for a war. I’m going to go with the man, Otis Whittaker to retain his title.
That’s all folks, check my predictions below, let me know how I did.
Deuces turds! Justin Credible, OUT!
