 Ladies and Gentlemen, here we are again for the first of 2 action packed events within Canadian Fighting Championships. CFC 509 is coming to you live from The Underground in Montreal. We are expecting upwards of 1000 rabid Canadian Fight fans to take in tonight's action. Tonights event has a good mix of fighters making their pro debuts, some who have enjoyed both amateur and pro fights and a small handful of clowns atop the Main Card who are clearly nothing short of ringers trying to ensure Management does not continue to lose their shirts during the early rise of CFC. As always make sure you run down to PWNAGE™ located on the Los Angeles stop of the High Street for all your Fighters clothing needs and to fulfill their supplement needs there is no better place than White Gorilla located right here in Montreal! For those who enjoy putting their money where their mouths are, pop on over to 2 Headed Betting to place your wagers on your favorite CFC fighters as all are set for this event while you still can, I know I will!!
Main Event - 205 lbs Eric Draven vs Josh Whitlock
Our Main Event showcases the first of 2 clear hugfests between a pair of guys who only do as their boss man says and have little to no ability to speak up for themselves. Will they follow orders and dance the tango or will one of them step outside their orders and go for the kill? Please, we all know the answer and I for one have no interest in discussing this matchup any further. My money is on the dude with the best pirouette.
Co-Main Event - 145 lbs Cathal O’Doherty vs Kuroda Atsushi
Our Co Main Event is another snoozefest between a pair of midgets who prefer to roll around on the ground with other men above anything else, and like our Main Event I could care less and have no plans to waste my time discussing this one. Who is this damn matchmaker he is horrible and needs to give his head a shake. Just for the hell of it I am picking the guy with the clown hair in this one.
170 lbs Junior Seto vs Jesper Janssens
FINALLY a real fight to discuss…in the welterweight division we have a pair of undefeated warriors with a mix of amateur and one professional fight under their belts. Seto has won all three of his bouts by way of submission victories including a first round Triangle choke win in the first round of his CFC debut. Facing off against him is Janssens who has enjoyed both a UD and submission win in his amateur career and now he is stepping into the fire against a scary submission specialist. Seto has enjoyed 100% success within the clinch in taking his opponents to the ground and into the deep waters where he focuses on getting himself into a dominant position and then showcasing his BJJ prowess. Looking at the other side of the cage Janssens has enjoyed great success both at range and within the clinch at getting the fight to the ground where he has simply dominated with an almost perfect success rate with his brutal ground and pound. Even with that success he has not enjoyed a finish with his ground strikes but I am sure thats only a matter of time. Based on what we have seen previously I would estimate Seto’s Granite chin will outlast Janssens intelligence and it’ll be tap or snap time.
145 lbs Mario Yamasaki vs Makana Berzebal
In our next matchup we make a stop to see the midgets in the 145 lbs division, this one sees our failed MMA ref turned MMA fighter make another stop with the CFC cage following his devastating KO at CFC 507 taking on Pro newcomer Berzebal who rolled to victory in his amateur debut dominating his opponent on the ground. Yamasaki comes in with a chin made of solid granite combined with solid boxing skills as was shown by his pair of KO victories most recently in his CFC debut fight where he has proven to be slick, efficient and powerful ending both fights after throwing an average of 5 strikes per appearance. Berzebal on the other hand boasts a game plan that includes not much other then clinch takedowns and no other standing strike attempts, however his clinch TDs proved to be more than effective as once he got the fight to the ground, that was all she wrote where he inserted his dominance with ground strikes, advances and then a slick armbar submission in under 2 minutes. Both these fighters need some work on managing their workloads as they are both well under the ideal minimum energy level to ensure training gains can be enjoyed and that the gas tank is full enough to last 3 rounds in a Pro matchup. My money is on Yamasaki having no need for the Granite chin in this one and I also am willing to bet his power will shine through once again even if Berzebal is sporting a solid chin as the lack of energy will be his undoing for sure!
170 lbs Mike Phelps vs BJ Penncil
Our final matchup from the main card sees a pair of welterweight fighters looking to face off against each other once again following their debut fight opposite each other at CFC 507. Is it just me or is this another example of how much of a tool this matchmaker is, man he must have been drunk when he set this one up again, surprised they dont both have the same manager… yes that has happened. Phelps enjoys a slight reach advantage to go with the clear striking advantage here opposed to the mid tier wrestling/BJJ combo in Penncil. BJ will enjoy a bigger advantage in the morale department then their first throwdown, my assumption is Phelps is still wallowing over his defeats and needs some new threads to cheer himself up. Pencil worked his gameplan to perfection 2 weeks ago when he was able to work the takedown to get the fight where he has the clear advantage and worked a combination of ground strikes to soften Phelps up before sinking in the armbar submission inside of the first round. Phelps is going to need to focus more on striking in this one to try and avoid a similar fate and forget trying to take this one into the clinch or the ground. Both fighters are well rested so my moneys on a repeat performance for Penncil unless Phelps is able to work out a new and more effective game plan to avoid being dominated once again on the ground.
