 Ladies and gentleman SFU #20 is one of the most stacked cards I have seen from the world of MMA in a long time. Four title fights are scheduled, nothing but action from the start of the show all the way to the main event. The event will take place on August 7th, 2016 at the Hard Knocks Arena right here in beautiful London.
Right out of the gate we have a Middleweight fight scheduled, Bjarni Agnarsson (1-0) VS Chael Sonnen (0-0) This will be Chaels first Professional fight, that doesn't mean he's not ready though, he has a strong background in wrestling and you can bet money that as soon as the bell rings he will be looking to take Bjarni right to the mat and pound him out.
Agnarsson said he isn't worried about his wrestling at all, he also has a strong background in wrestling, will be looking to take the fight to the mat as well, either way, you can look forward to some crazy ground and pound action from this fight.
Moving on to the Welterweight division, Askles Garcia (3-1) VS John Winkle (4-4) Garcia is coming off two nice QFC fights, making his debut here in SFU, he's looking to make a statement against Winkle. He has said in a recent interview that he has been training his takedown defense and his striking to prepare for Winkle, which I think Winkle will be looking to expose.
John is a brown belt in BJJ with 3 of his 4 wins coming by submission. Winkle has said he is looking toput his career back on the right track with a win on fight night. Ladies and gentleman this is a fight that could go either way and I am looking forward to it.
Now another Middleweight fight we have for the fans is Tom Campbell (4-3) VS Steve Lucas (6-6) this is your classic striker vs BJJ artist. All 6 of Steve's wins have came by submission, he wears a purple belt in BJJ and will be looking to put it to use once again as he takes on Tom Campbell.
Who considers himself a knockout artist. You can argue that this fight will go either way, if it goes to the mat, more than likely Steve will be advancing with the win, on the other hand, if he cannot get him to the mat Tom will look to make quick work against Steve. I wouldn't put money down on this one. This is a hard one to call.
Next up, we have a series of Featherweight fights for you, and boy am I excited for this one coming up, Bob Brody (4-3) VS Sergio Diaz (6-3) The rematch everyone has been wanting to see. The last time these two men squared off it was for the Championship and Sergio actually took it in the fourth round by submission. Ever since it happened Brody has been in the gym training non stop to prepare himself for this rematch.
It's all he's wanted was to avenge this loss. He has said in the past that it was a fluke loss and it'll never happen again. Sergio said it'll happen the same exact way as it did the first time but sooner. He's calling for a first round submission victory. Who will take the W in the rematch? Will Sergio make it 2-0 against Brody or will he avenge the loss and move past this and put his career back on the path for the championship?
The other Featherweight fight we have for you is Allahu Akbar (5-3) VS Markus Woodsmall (7-3) Personally I am not a fan of Akbar, he has a arrogant attitude about him that just doesn't sit well with me or the fans, but I won't take anything away from his ability to perform. Four of his wins coming by KO he doesn't mess around when he gets in there. Markus said he doesn't care about who he knocked out before and that he won't fall into his trap of getting inside his head.
He also said he will knock him out within the first round and move on from this. Markus has also said that he doesn't believe Akbar is on his level at all. Either way this fight will be a barn burning stand up war that you just cannot afford to miss.
Lets add another 40 pounds for this next fight, in the Middleweight division, we have Julian Alexander (0-1) VS Reginald Kray (6-8) you can argue that both of these men have started off on a bad note. Julian has said that he will not allow himself to be considered in the same boat as Reginald, he will not allow his record to look like not, he refuses to start his career off 0-2. He will be looking to make a statement against Kray. Reginald got wind of what Julian said and just shrugged it off, saying he doesn't care what he has to say, or even about his record, he didn't get into the fight game to have a pretty record, he's in it to put on a show for the fans and collect a paycheck, he sees Julian as just another paycheck he will be looking to collect come fight night.
And now we have a Lightweight Championship fight, Inmate Seven Nine Zero Four Two(4-0) VS Zus Bielski (4-0) What a fight this will be folks, both of these guys are very well rounded and can adapt to any situation. Not only is this fight for the vacant title, but both of these guys are fighting for something much more greater than just the championship, they are both undefeated and they both want to stay that way, they feel very strongly about retiring as the greatest. Come fight night, someones 0 will have to go. Who will come out as the Lightweight championship? Tune in to find out.
Next up, we have a Super Heavyweight Title fight. Marcus Pereira (9-0) VS Jackson Teller (7-2) Marcus Pereira who was once considered an obese gentleman who would never amount to much in the fight game, is now 9-0 sporting around brown belt in BJJ although he cannot physically wear it, he takes great pride in his accomplishments. There's also another belt he takes great pride in, and says he will do everything he can in keeping it, and that is the SFU Super Heavyweight Championship. He says he will defend it or die trying. When someone has that much pride in a championship, you know you're in for a treat every time he steps in the cage. Mr. Teller laughed when he heard Marcus say he will either defend the title or die trying. Teller said "I guess he will just have to die" Folks, I think this fight is more than just about the title. I think there's something more to this rivalry and I'm excited to see the outcome.
You can say this next fight should be a main event! As the Lightheavyweight Champion Dmitry Boitsov (6-0) will be defending his title against, Oldaghar Khara (5-0) personally I am a big fan of both of these fighters. Once again though, this is a striker vs submission artist. All of Khara's wins come by KO 4 of them in the first round. Where Boitsov has 5 subs under his brown belt in JJ and his most recent title defense came by KO in just 5 seconds. He has said that he would have more KOs under his belt, just everyone thinks they're a wrestler. We are hoping that Dmitry doesn't try and stand with Khara but if he does this could be a bad night for the champion, either way, one of these fighters will be coming home with the title, and the other will be carrying their first loss. There's a lot to gain this fight, and there's a lot to lose as well. Either way you have to tune in for this fight, this is potential fight of the year.
And now, finally on to the Main Event. The Welterweight Champion Ramon Gracie (10-0) who is personally one of my favorite fighters, I will follow anyone from the Gracie family. What they have done for the sport is so amazing, and I am honored to be writing this preview for you here today. Gracie will be looking to defend his belt against Doug Funnie (5-2) All 5 of his wins have come by KO. He knows all about Gracie and he respects him very well, he knows that if Gracie gets him down, it'll pretty much be all over, he's hoping to shut the lights off before he even thinks about going to the ground. He says he likes being the underground and that he cannot wait to hear the crowd be silenced as they will be in shock. Gracie does not care at all about Dougs striking, he's fought plenty of strikers in the past and every single one of them has fallen. He said his chin is as solid as it's ever been and he's ready for the challenge come fight night, he looks forward to walking out of the arena still champion.
