 Welcome back to Revolution XC- ICON! We have another stacked card for you featuring 3 Championship fights. The Heavyweight, Middleweight, and the Welterweight Championships will all be on line on September 11th, 2016! The event will take place at the Venice Beach Arena in Los Angeles. Revolution XC 911 will be sponsored by Unity Clothing! Go and check them out as well they are an awesome company.
In the Main Event the Heavyweight Championship will be on the line in this amazing Superfight as the Light Heavyweight Champion Kaleva Vettenranta (14-4) will be looking to become a 2 weight world Champion as he takes on Papa Shango (13-4) Now this fight has been rumored for awhile now as all the trash talk started months ago. It has been one of the most anticipated match ups we have ever seen in this company and I am more than excited for this fight. Both of these men are so well rounded but this is your classic striker vs submission artist. As always Shango will be looking to make quick work out of his opponent using his brutal punching power to shut the lights off, where Kaleva will be looking to take this fight to the ground and get the submission as he has done in 9 of his victories.
My Prediction: I think Kaleva will actually pull of the upset and bring home the gold and become a 2 weight world champion. I am a huge fan of Papa Shango and I will not be shocked if he connects with a punch to end this fight quickly but as of right now Kaleva seems to want it more and I think he will get the job done come fight night.
The Co Main event will feature the Middleweight Championship as Rocco Antonio Siffredi (12-1) will be defending his title against a familiar opponent Andy Fitzgerald (12-3) This will be Andy's third attempt at Rocco and his second chance at the title. Andy has in recent interviews that the third time is a charm and he will be looking to get the job done and bring home the gold. I think he has a pretty good chance as all he has to do is connect a few times and shut him down. All 12 of his victories have come by KO/TKO. The champion will also be looking to shut his opponents lights off on fight night and man let me tell you, this man is pissed. He has no idea why he has to face this man for a third time when he dominated both times and he will be looking to do it again.
My Prediction: As much as I would like to see Andy get the W on fight night I just don't see it happening the last time these men fought was pretty cut and dry and I just don't know if he has made the right changes to actually win. I see Rocco getting a third round KO.
Up next what should be considered another Main Event the Welterweight Championship will be on the line in what could be the fight of the night! The Champion Don Julio Cesar Chavez (13-4) will be taking on Fernando Luiz (8-2) I am calling it right now, this fight has the absolute best potential to earn some post fight bonuses. Both of these men put on the best fights I have seen within this company. The Champion Chavez is one of the best all around fighters in the game today, as no matter where the fight goes he can adapt, submission, knockouts, distance, it doesn't matter he can get it done. Where the challenger Luiz will be looking for one thing and one thing only and that is another knockout and boy do I love knockouts especially when they come from the hands of this man. He has one of the prettiest Spinning backfist I have ever seen and I just cannot wait for this fight.
My Prediction: I don't know how to call this one, it could literally go either way. But! if I had to put money down on just one of these men, it would have to go to the champion Don Julio. I just think he is to skilled all the way round.
Moving on down the card we have a Lightweight match up for you as Royal Pain (11-4) will be taking on Bantamweight Champion Royce Disgracie (10-4) once again. As the last time these two men fought Royal Pain defended his lightweight title against Royce who was looking to become a 2 weight world champion. After he lost he vowed to add on the weight again and run the whole thing back. After Royal lost his title this fight made all the sense in the world. Who do you think will come out with the W on fight night?
My Prediction: I think Royal will once again get the job done. I just think Royce should stay in his own weight class instead of trying to jump up 2. But if he feels like he can get the job done, then by all means have at it. I can't wait.
On to a Super Heavyweight Fight, Rockford Knight (36-13) will be facing Escobar De Vega (20-8-1) These big men will be putting on a show the fans will not want to miss, I feel like every person inside that arena will be on their feet when these men step into the cage. Both of these men throw bombs when they're in there! Just brutal shot after shot. It's crazy to see the cardio these big men have and how long they can go. I don't see this one going the distance though, no way. I guarantee you there will be a knockout with this fight.
My Prediction: I see Rockford getting the knockout on fight night. 28 out of all 36 of his wins have come by KO. That's basically all of his opponents fights combined. That is outstanding and I just don't see Vega getting past the experience.
Heavyweights Kyle Long (13-7) and Dmitri Zaitsev (1-0) will be looking to put one on for the fans. Now it may look like Dmitri is an inexperienced mixed martial artist by the looks of his small record, but don't let that fool you, this big man has been training since he was a little kid, and his last fight he shut his opponent down in the round by KO. He has a brutal punch that flat lines anyone that is hit by it. Kyle said he is not worried at all about his opponent and on fight night his will embarrass this kid and make him go back into hibernation.
My Prediction: I think Dmitri gets the upset, Kyle just seems to be sleeping on him on and I truly think he will regret it. Once Dmitri connects a few times and shows him his true strength I think Kyle will slowly break down and Dmitri will secure a second round KO.
The Spotlight will also be on the Light Heavyweight division as Gleb Zheglov (12-4) will be fighting John Doe (4-0) John is looking to make a name for himself in the mma community as he will be looking to continue his undefeated streak against his opponent, he said he gets so frustrated when he doesn't get the finish as he has only found himself stopping his opponent one time by KO. He says he knows he can get it down the opportunity just never comes for him at the right time but that will be different on fight night he says. Gleb is coming off a recent loss and the title was on the line he is hungrier than ever he says and he will be looking to get back on track for the title as he looks to steamroll his not so experienced opponent.
My Prediction: I think Gleb gets it done by KO once again. He his on a losing streak and another loss would be devastating for him and he just needs this win I don't think he will let the win slip past him on.
Undefeated Welterweight fighter Nate Diaz (3-0) will be fighting Alastair Dunn (4-2) as always, we know Diaz is going to be looking to come in and secure the takedown and grab hold of a limb or the neck and make his opponent tap out. Nate is on a roll right now and another win will skyrocket his rank up the ladder. Dunn is no stepping stone though, he has amazing hand speed and the power to put people to sleep. One wrong move and this fight could go really bad for Nate. This is one I really look forward to.
My Prediction: I think if Diaz can use his head movement to get inside Dunn's range and can either get the clinch or secure the takedown, I don't think he will have a problem getting the submission victory.
Going back to the Lightweight Division undefeated fighter D'Wayne Williams (2-0) will also be looking to continue his streak as he takes on David Shanna (1-0) both of these men have been going back an forth on social media talking a lot of smack. Both of these men have a really new to the fight game and there is already a lot of attention of the both of them. The winner of this fight will certainly be talked about for many months to come. Both of these men are not afraid to throw the hands. They actually prefer to just stand in the middle of the octagon and throw until one of them falls down and those are the fights I love.
My Prediction: I think Williams will get the win on fight night. I think his speed is on another level compared to David and I see him easily getting a knockout.
Kicking off this card and getting the fans of their seats will be a Middleweight fight, Jordan Kandle (1-2) will be fighting Jerry Smith (1-1) both of these men could really use a win but another loss could be crucial, this fight is make it or break it. They are legit fighting to stay in this company. How is that not exciting? Who do you think will be looking to come out on top on fight night?
My Prediction: I think Jerry will use his boxing skills to keep his opponent at bay and and avoid the shots while giving them securing himself a decision win.
You can not miss this card ladies and gentleman. You can not beat the price! You are going to witness 3 title fights and a Superfight! All this goes down on Revolution XC 911 on September 11th, 2016 at the Venice Beach Arena in Beautiful Los Angeles. Once again, all the fight gear and merchandise will be provided by Unity Clothing.
