 SPFT 69: Sklyar vs. Loaf 2 PREVIEW -brought to you by Folgers MegaAir
Hi, MMA Tycoon players. My name is George Tycoon. That's right THE George Tycoon. For those of you who don't know me, I'm just the creator of Fencing Tycoon! Honestly, things haven't been going great over there and long story short, I am being the bigger man and contributing to my old friend Mike Tycoon's website by writing a review for the best org in his game. So lets get this review started.
“Disco” Dave Lee 14-13-1(1-3 SPFT) vs. Frank Mac 21-14(SPFT Debut) @155
With the stand up being relatively even Lee's BJJ brown belt and wonderful wrestling stand out as the main advantages either fighter. If this were Fencing Tycoon, Mac would be able to easily keep this silly wrestling character at bay with a long sword, but apparently MMA is the popular combat sport these days. You saw the Olympics! Fencing is on the rise, kid!
Uhh, George, please try to stay on topic. -Folgers
Right, sorry. I'm supposed to talk about your beloved, swordless, internet fighters and keep some semblance of immersion into this world. Mac has a great chance if he can keep the fight standing and land a big shot with his sensational boxing skills. Hell, Lee's moral is a bit low coming into this fight. I wouldn't doubt Mac's chances but I gotta go with Lee.
Prediction: Lee by Submission
Alexander Lansing 6-3(1-1) vs. Haiki Masatupo 18-19(4-7) @145
I think Lansing takes this one. Masatupo is past his prime and can't consistently win anymore. He's been knocked out 15 times vs Lansing's zero, and despite winning his last fight, his moral is in the bucket. Lansing is the future. It's time for progress.
Prediction: Lansing by (T)KO
Johnny “Crash” Davis 29-16-1(3-2) vs. Mogul “Axe” Khan 19-13-1(SPFT Debut) @135
Alexander Lansing came into SPFT on fire and won his first three fights under the banner. Since then, he has lost two in a row. He should be able to bounce back in this one though. He has significantly better boxing, muay thai and wrestling. If it somehow ends up on the ground he'll most likely get submitted by the Red Belted Khan, but I kinda doubt that happens.
Prediction: Davis by (T)KO
Zenek Ziemski 7-3(3-2) vs. “Deadpool” Sameer Hamadoui 9-7(SPFT Debut) @145
Striker vs grappler in this fight. Looking at this realistically, Ziemski will be trying his best to take it to the ground and earn his eighth submission victory and Hamadoui will try to keep it standing and get the knock out. Simply because I am more comfortable with Ziemski's stand up than I am with Hamadoui's ground game, I have to pick ol' ZeeZee.
Prediction: Ziemski by Submission
Severi Turpaansaaja 19-8(1-1) vs. “The Astronomer” Tycho Brahe 12-7(2-1) @145
This one looks super close. These are two highly skilled fighters with knockout power, pretty good chins, and a solid ground game. Turpy (I don't feel like typing out that name every time) has a slight boxing advantage while Brahe has a slight MT advantage. I think I'll just go with the one guy with an Elite skill. That would be Turpy with his boxing.
Prediction: Turpy by (T)KO
TJ Griffin 14-9(5-3) vs. Armas Paisti 13-7(5-3) @185
This should be another stand up war. Paisti has the better BJJ but he hasn't shown much offensive prowess in that aspect. Either fighter could end up getting knocked out but I have a feeling both will be able to defend enough to survive the entire fight. This one could go either way, but here we go.
Prediction: Griffin by Decision
Karl “Sōhei” Thomas 13-3(1-1) vs. Aodhan “Áed” o hAodha 16-16(1-2) @185
o hAodha has a few things working against him in this fight. For one, that name would be an instant loss Grammar Tycoon, which is due out in November. Secondly, the striking of Thomas looks like it may be too much. While o hAodha has a distinct BJJ advantage, I expect him to have trouble securing a takedown before he gets hit with a big shot.
Prediction: Thomas by (T)KO
~LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT~
Toshihiro Kai 17-8(8-2) vs. Heinrich “The Hammer” Dussander 24-10(SPFT Debut) @155
In his first SPFT fight, Dussander gets a shot at the belt. This looks like yet another even fight. Kai has slightly better boxing and wrestling but the Muay Thai is the same and the BJJ tilts towards Dussander. There have been rumors circling the MMA Tycoon circuit that these two guys are getting paid under the table by the Judges Union. I don't subscribe to such nonsense, but feel free to think that for yourself. All I'm saying is that neither fighter seems to like stopping fights or being stopped. Only half of that is admirable. When in doubt, pick the champ.
Prediction: Kai by Decision
Riel Dan Reyes 15-1-1(SPFT Debut) vs. “Flash” Dwayne Wade 11-5(3-2) @170
Reyes comes in to his first SPFT fight on a seven fight win streak. He faces off against Wade, who has looked really impressive by convincingly winning his last three fights after losing a couple decisions to start out in SPFT. Reyes wins fights with his ground and pound. His first obstacle will be the remarkable boxing of Wade. If Wade can get some clean shots in, it may be over quickly. If Reyes avoids the boxing and secures a takedown – which shouldn't be too hard – he still wont have an easy path to victory. Wade's BJJ is better and will be a threat if Reyes doesn't work safely. I go back and forth in my head with this one, but I think I know where I have to go with this.
Prediction: Wade by Decision
~BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT~
Sergiy Sklyar 12-1(3-0) vs. Meat “Like a bat out of hell...” Loaf 14-4(2-1) @135
Their first fight was three 10 minute rounds of pure action. It was a close close fight, one judge even scored it as a draw. Since Sklyar is on a 12 fight winning streak, it seems like a bad idea to bet against him. Loaf looks like he might have the skills to get the job done though. Technically he is better in every aspect but wrestling. I wouldn't be surprised if Sklyar won this fight, but Loaf looks too good right now. Plus if Loaf wins maybe there could be a rubber match.
Prediction: Loaf by Submission
Alright guys, my job is done here. Have fun with your little game. Play Fencing Tycoon if you are a real man!
... His name isn't even really Mike Tycoon. It's Tycoon Tycoon. I don't blame him for changing his name though.
-George Tycoon.
