Main Card
Middleweight Division
Alexey Molotov vs Juho Heikkinen
Former FartMMA middleweight title Contender Alexe Molotov Left the company with a bad taste in his mouth, could have been a "cup a fart" who knows. A five fight loosing streak was the actual cause though, which was also the reason he recently changed fight camps. After a impressive 1rst round KO on the QFC circuit he now steps in for his Tribal Combat debut. The Russian will welcome another newcomer in former Limitless MW Juho Heikkinen. Heikkinen looks to join the feet at MW in the "Kings of Madness" but he has no easy task ahead.
Final Verdict: Molotov has had some moral issues that where noticed upon his contract signing, which may have a significant factor in the outcome. If Juho pushes the pace I see Molotov cracking. Maybe even cup a fart at some point, worth a shot!
Middleweight Division
Dave Beast vs Kappa Knox
Former Middleweight champion of the now Madness promotion, Dave Beast has returned after a stint in Pulse Fighting Championship . Beast had a tough run with pulse going 1-4, but with the KO abilities he posses he can still be a legit threat. Dave will have a very dangerous opponent upon his return though and I say "KO Of the Night" is a possibility. Kappa Knox comes from a long line of Knox fighters under the tutelage of sensei Gunner. Another former former Fart MMA title Contender Kappa is looking to make a huge statement with a win over the former champ.
Final Verdict: If Kappa plans to have a boxing match with Dave it may be a big mistake but it Will be a fun one to watch. I'm gonna give Knox the edge though as the time ticks away and the Beast begins to tire.
Middleweight Division
Paul Sight vs Ricardo Rebenta
Another former Middleweight champion here looks to step into the cage one last time with the promotion as we wish Paul Sight the absolute best. Sighthas keen sight for punching people's lights out as 19 of his 20 wins ended in KO or TKO finish. Paul will be facing another Mainstay of the promotion who looks to punch his ticket into the KOM welterweight Tournament. That man is BJJ Blackbelt Ricardo Rebenta a ground fighter with 6 Submission victories. Rebenta is coming off a submission of the Night award his last time out and wants to keep his winning momentum going.
Final Verdict: Sight wants to leave with a nice showing and if he can avoid the ground I expect he will. Only Rebenta is a crafty grappler and if his chin holds up I expect Ricardo to leave with another potential "Sub of the Night" bonus.
Co-Main Event
Featherweight Division
Kendo Hirigushi vs Aishah Bin Sari
Are Co-Main Event will simply be for bragging rights as both contestants are locked into there "Kings of Madness" seeding. Will start with former promotional Featherweight champion and the winner of the Tribal Combat 1 Million$ FW Tournament Kendo Hirigushi. Kendois coming off back to back wins over top competition in the likes of Edward Conan and The Reverend Jim Ignatowski. The Japanese striker will be the #2 seed at Lightweight. In the opposite corner is Bin Sari whom is likewise looking for his third consecutive victory. Aishah is also a mildly decorated Kickboxers and at just 29 looks to finally be scratching the surface of his young career in MMA.
Final Verdict: Both are versatile on there feet, and have strong camps behind them. I favor "Doll Hands" here though as experience may be a deciding factor.
Main Event
Welterweight Division
Chad Smith vs Patty O Reilly
Now we have reached the fight we have all been waiting for, in the words of the Senior Buffer "Let's get ready to rumble"!
Current Welterweight champion "Hanging" Chad Smith is currently riding a four fight winning streak all of which where finishes. He took out a true Tycoon Legend his last outting with a comeback 3Rd round tko victory over Akeen Coker. Smith is a Dangerous KO finisher with 14 of them to his credit, and regardless of this outcome has clinched the #1 seed in the "Kings of Madness" Welterweight Tournament.
Are other Main Eventer is the current Middleweight champion Patty O ReIlly who is on a 7 fight win streak. O'Reilly is the total package with a Respected ground game and proven Stand-up game as well. Patty is 11-2 as a pro with 4 (T)KO's, 4 subs and 3 Decision victories under his belt. O'Reilly has already informed the the promotion he has plans to take it to the next level after this fight and I can assure you he intends to leave with a excellent showing.
Final Verdict: Patty is a formidable matchup for Smith on the feet but I give Chad the edge there. There are some questions about Smith when it comes to the ground and he usually won't even sweet it bbbbuuuutttttt Patty a Elite wrestler with a BJJ Black belt will most definitely test Chads grappling here.
I can't and won't pick a winner here, ohhhhh wait there is a winner in fact. Every one who has booked there seat at King Theatre for January 2nds final Tribal Combat event.
Incoming MADNESS will follow!!!
