MAIN CARD


 


265+


Raphael The Ninja Turtle (1-1-0) vs Mortimer Bob Holley (1-0-0)


 


Both fighters are equipped with 2 disciplines but I think they will go with their punches and clinchwork in this match. Expect to see a good brawl in this one. 


 


Key Areas:


Gas Tank


Standup game


 


Prediction: Holley by 2nd round TKO


 


265


Johnny Colt (1-0-0) vs Big Man (2-1-0)


 


Colt is so damn good with his clinch game, owning his opponent in his last outing. On the other hand, Big Man has showed some power out there but his morale issues right now can be detrimental to his performance.


 


Key Areas: 


Colt's clinchwork


Man's morale


 


Prediction: Colt by decision


 


170


Rivers Naughton (2-0-0) vs Brent Stoner (3-0-0)




Behold, as we are about to witness unbeaten fighters, and the top 10 P4P in the island, Brent stoner who will make his debut match in IXF. Naughton has won his IXF debut in a great win against William Scout. Both fighters are ground specialists so let's see if Scout can live up to his name, the "Comeback Kid"


 


Key Areas:


Naughton's BJJ advantage


Stoner's subs


Grappling strategy


 


Prediction: Stoner by decision


 


265


Oro Lono (2-0-0) vs Gordon Gooding (2-1-0)


 


Lono, ranked 20 P4P in the island will go against Gooding who is ranked 72nd in the island. Lono has already won 2 IXF matches, in his most recent win in IXF 3 with an easy 2nd round TKO against Kalani. Gooding also just hand his IXF debut match with last week in IXF 3, finishing randy jacobs in just 30 seconds! I took a look in their previous matches and I think they've both got some big hands right here. Let's see how Lono plays a KO artist given that he cuts easily.


 


Key Areas:


KO Power


Gooding's good chin


Lono easily cuts


 


Prediction: Gooding by 1st round TKO


 




MAIN EVENT


 


265+


 


Drake Fury (5-0-0) vs Cheese Daddy (2-0-0)


 


 VS 


 


For the MAIN EVENT of the night! We feature the TOP 2 P4P in the island, Drake "The Cake" FURYYYY!!! He's gotten a good damn submission streak with 5 wins and 5 subs! Definitely a monster in the ground.. Now, he's gonna face a fellow ground specialist in Cheese "Da Cheez" Daddy who also gave a good performance in IXF 1 and 3. Fury has shown that he can submit anyone including a purple belt and a brown belt before. Damn! Daddy currently ranks 14th in the island so a win in this one will surely move him up the predator ladder. Skills wise they are almost identical in terms of discipline. This is gonna be one hell of a grappling match.


 


Will Drake treat Daddy as another piece of cake? Or will Daddy get to say "Cheese" in his victory picture?. 


 


Key Areas:


 


Drake's submissions


Ground game


Experience


 


Prediction: Fury by 2nd round submission
