Island Combat One


The inaugural card of this new org founded by the legendary Jay Tycoon promises to put substance to the fact that Mr. Tycoon is a legend and a genius in the MMA Tycoon world.

 

Jay has put together a card packed with quality fights filled with virtually unpredictable matchups. Each match on the card promises exciting possibilities from evenly matched fighters .

 

I'm going to give you my take on each fight but if you aren't in attendance for this show you are surely missing one that will be for the record books .

 

Lets get to this spectacular card -
 

 

9. In the opener we have a 185lb matchup between Felipe Dalmazo (4-0 4KO) and Justin Sane (2-0 2KO) . Both fighters come in undefeated . Strong striking should be the highlight here but i look for it to be decided on the ground ultimately. My outlook is a hard fought action packed slugfest ending in a tko on the ground for Justin Sane.
 

 

 

8.In the 170lb division this fight has Kona Bud (4-1 4KO) vs. Luna Ploy (6-2 2KO). I look for the muay thai of Bud to come into play here to overpower the experience of Mr. Ploy. Im calling for a devastating  head kick ko fairly early on.
 

 

7.At 155 we have Prince Idowu (3-1 3KO) vs. Royal Pain (5-1 5 subs) in this one . I see this one being a tactical bout with both fighters feeling each other out early. Im taking Royal Pain to win by submission late after a great strategic contest.
 

 

6.Next is Rudy Mar Binay (6-2 6 subs) vs. Kyle Harris (0-3). This one will be deceptively close. I see Harris coming out strong with his brawling style but i think Mar Binay can counter and will dominate with ground strikes. My pick is a TKO for Rudy after a strong furious push from Mr. Harris.
 

 

5.Here we have Nate Gonzalez (6-0 6 subs) vs. Richard Machan (3-0 2KO) for the 155lb title. This is my sleeper of the night. These guys are very similar fighters. There is no clear advantage for either man. Im calling for ground control to give the win to Gonzalez in a split decision .
 

4. For the 135lb belt this one has Issumatar Tariaksuq (7-1 2KO) vs. Walton Kunz (8-3 7subs).

 

Now this will be fun. The striking features the kicks of Issumatar against the punching power of Kunz. On the the ground Tariaksuq appears to have an edge but i think Kunz catches him with a massive punch early for the upset win.
 

3.At 185 and for the title we see Carlos Newton (8-2 8subs) vs. Don Julio Cesar Chavez (5-2 3subs).

 

Excellent matchup here if you like action. Chavez will look to strike while Newton i anticipate will counter and wait for his opening. This could go the distance for a tight decision but i think Chavez will connect late and surprise Newton to claim the belt.
 

2. To build tension for our finale this bout has Peter Potter (7-1 6KO) vs. Richard Richards lii (5-4 4KO).

 

Pure action will ensue in this fight. I predict a furious pace with lots of powerful strikes and plenty of ground skills being displayed. This will be determined after every facet of each man's skills is displayed. I've got Potter to win by decision at the end of the fight of the night.
 

1. To cap this night of excitement off right Mr. Tycoon booked a thriller for the main event.

 

We have Jake Belcher (8-2 8KO) vs. Hop Sing Jung (10-3 8 subs) for the 170lb title belt.

 

This bout pits the chin of Belcher against the power and stamina of Jung. On paper the stats are virtually identical. The strategy of each manager's sliders will get his fighter the win here. My prediction is that this will go the distance with the stamina of Jung paying dividends in the end as he wins the decision.
 

 

I encourage everyone to attend the card if possible. Dont miss the action and dont forget the great merchandise offered by Leviathan . Mark my words that this card will once again display the masterful talents of our man Jay Tycoon.

Enjoy the show !!!
