Next big event in the JAG Calendar is the 185lbs showdown between Sireika and Johnson. This is an interesting contest in that Sireika has owned this title since he beat Takashi to take the belt on 11th August 2018. He is no coward and has defended the title on 3 seperate occasions to prove he is no flash in the pan. Lets see how Johnson fares on Saturday night in what’s expected to be a heaving Las Vegas venue. Nate Baker will be hoping that these fighters behave themselves, both in the ring and after the fight…. Or will he…… Just think of the grudge rematch if things did kick off outside the ring :)
Arnoldas Sireika CJ "Bad Man" Johnson
Record 6-0-0 (W-L-D) Record 5-0-0 (W-L-D)
Bad man hails from Sydney Australia and has earned his title when living on the streets of Kings Cross Sydney where he had to do a lot of bad sh*t just to stay alive and this has moulded him into the fighting machine that he is today, he has 5 wins from 5 to his name and has won 3 by way of unanimous decisions and 2 by way of TKO Strikes. He is a very confident fighter and tends to strut around the ring geeing up the crowd. He is a good man for clinches and MT and prefers to stay standing if he can where he can show some excellent ability in MT. He has gone the distance in his first 3 fights but has finished his opponents much quicker in recent times with his 2 TKO’s happening in round one of his last 2 fights. Current holder Sireika is undefeated in 6 fights and is flying high at the moment. He has won 4 of his fights by way of TKO and 2 by unanimous Decisions. He has a fantastic fists and has the ability to floor anyone that gets in his way, he prefers using fists and standup as much as he can but he did really well in his last fight to win by a one point decision when Takashi spent the whole fight bringing the fight to the floor with 59 takedown attempts (only 6 succeeded however) and of the 6 takedowns Takashi obviously thought Sireika was a nail and he was the hammer when he tried nearly 70 ground strikes but Sireika defended well and did some serious damage when standing and clinching when he missed only twice with his punches for the whole fight. This title fight should be interesting as both fighters like standup and clinching so this might be a war of attrition in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Best of luck to both fighters this weekend.
