 Syn 531 - Incendiary Preview Prepared by Mason Ashcroft "He got arm under his chin! How long can he stay in it…He’s out!”
But in order to do so, you need power. Power not only to survive – but the power necessary to stand on top. Alone. And Strong.
Welcome to reality. Welcome in our world. Welcome, to Syn-City.
155 lbs Jack Douglas v Don Juan Matus
This time we start low. But not in terms of skills or excitement. Synchrocity 531’s main card will start with a Lightweight action. Former #1 Lightweight in the world and EVOLUTION title contender Jack Douglas will make his return into the cage in order to face former SynCity Featherweight champion, Don Juan Matus. Returning to his element, “War Master” will look to erase bad memories of his last fight and unsuccessful attempt to become EVO World Champion. In order to do so, he will have to go through another fighter who recently couldn’t achieve same goal.
Matus is seeking another shot after putting Lil Vayne to test in their Title fight, which ended in a draw. Both were one step away from becoming new champion, yet neither was able to seal the deal. Even though Don Juan lacks destroying power that Douglas possesses, it’s a known fact that “The Nagual” is as tough as anyone.
Never knocked out and submitted only 3 times in his 40 pro fights, he will be perfect test for new roster member. But don’t make mistake about it – Jack Douglas has 14 losses on his record, but only 1 of those fights ended before time limit. With combined 74 fights between them, they lost only 4 fights by way of submission or knock out. You can count on exciting battle, that may be long and may bring headache to judges which will have to score this one, but surely we won’t miss serious fireworks.
135 lbs Jong Un Kim v Da Skrumbo **BW Championship Fight**
Following that opening act, we are getting hotter and hotter. 3 Time SYN Bantamweight champion will put his title on the line in an attempt to break his curse. Never before able to successfully defend his Synchrocity Championship, Jong Un Kim looks to repeat history, this time in front of much bigger crowd, when he steps into the cage against former Ascension Bantamweight title holder, Da Skrumbo. Two fighters met during LEGACY 50’s Co-Main Event, deciding faith of its Bantamweight title. Back then, Kim was the one to see his hand raised at the end of the night with a TKO victory.
People wonder – is Curse real? Skrumbo may not believe in curses or magic, but he surely believes in his hands. With a stunning 71% (T)KO ratio in his wins, you can always count on his to come out swinning. Kim might be more well-rounded fighter here, but it has been a long time since anyone was able to force “Beast” into submission. Will Skrumbo be able to take his revenge, re-write history and keep Curse alive? Or will this time Jong Un Kim proves that he’s a true champion, capable of defending his throne? Those questions will be answered – and you don’t want to miss them being answered!
170 lbs Tito Hyde v Mateus Gracie **WW Championship Fight**
With 3 title fights on the card, we can sleep well knowing that this card will be packed with action. Especially with undefeated Kickboxing knock out artist like Tito Hyde, newly crowned Welterweight Champion. Across the cage stands his first contender – skilled and equally as ferocious as the champion, but with opposite skillset – submission specialist, Mateus Gracie.
Even if his SYN debut was something he wanted to forget quickly, he never forgot his roots. With back-to-back submission wins, he quickly established himself as a top dog in this yard. And he may be the one person you don’t want to kick – since he can easily break the leg you kindly throw his way.
But then again, Tito may be the one person you don’t want to try to catch, knowing that his vicious flying knees may follow, trying to date your face. He already proved himself in both Kickboxing and MMA, but his commitment to MMA alone, shows how dedicated he is to become the best in the world, already starting his 3rd championship reign at 170lbs. With a clash of styles, always comes question as old as martial arts themselves – which style is better? And what’s better way to find out, then Synchrocity Title fight? Both are currently ranked in top 10 of 170pounders, which can only be taken as a testimony to how great they are, making this fight Must-See for fans across the globe.
185 lbs Chris Coath v Steven Rutherford
Unlike other parties, this time people can’t wait for the end of it. But before we get to our last title fight, there is one more fight to watch. Taking place in the Middleweight, that fight may produce next contender for World Championship. Former Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight and Middleweight champion, riding 3 fights win streak since signing with Syn, Chris “Martyr” Coath will look to make it 4 straight as he is set to battle against former Syncity Middleweight champion himself – Steven “The Redneck Assassin” Rutherford. With an elite level striking in both corners you can safely bet that this fight will not even come close to a decision. Coath is coming in confident that he will not only break Rutherford’s hopes to fight for the title again, but his granite chin as well. Never before finished – neither by strikes or submissions – “Redneck Assassin” will do his best to show why he doesn’t deserve another title shot – but why the champion deserves a shot at him, in order to prove himself. Will Coath be just another Redneck on Steven’s list or will “Martyr” advance on his march to the top, to reach a shot at the title…
185 lbs George Pedro v Wilder Wein **MW Championship Fight**
…which may not be in current champion’s hands before the night ends? George Pedro made a statement – when he decided to descend from Light Heavyweight to Middleweight in order to face Rutherford. Majority decision awarded him the championship, making him a dual champion. Even though he lost his 205lbs belt, he still wants to prove that he’s more than enough to dominate 185lbs division. And he will look to continue doing that against nothing but the best – and you won’t find anyone better at 185lbs than THE BEST Middleweight on the planet, Wilder Wein. Even against a scary competition, seasoned vet doesn’t crack under the pressure. Understanding his mistakes that led him to losing his championship, Wilder bounced back into action scoring 3 straight wins, putting him in the spot that he needed. Being a true middleweight, he gains another reason to throw Pedro out of his division, showing that what happened at 205, can also happen at 185. “Santo” doesn’t seem to be scared or intimidated. With his own record and history to back him up, he knows what he is capable of. So are we. With neither man being willing or able to step back and surrender, they are bound to clash with a power and intensity matching – or maybe even exceeding – the one of Incendiary Bomb.
