Main Event - 185 lbs Championship Matteo ‘Eraser’ Chibaclov vs Elijah Hill
The current undefeated CFC middleweight, Matteo Chibaclov, looks to defend his title for the first time against promotional newcomer Elijah Hill. This bout is touted as a grapplers' delight, with both fighters having previously shown an incredible ground game and finishing abilities. The current champ is sporting all of his wins by way of submission without ever seeing the third round in his 8 fight career. He's yet to be tested on the mat, which makes this matchup all the more exciting. Chibaclov has yet to throw a strike on the feet in his career but hasn’t needed to thus far into his career with his absolutely suffocating pressure and relentless takedown attempts. No man has yet to be safe in Hills career. Having 4 fights and 4 submission victories on the regional scene, Elijah is looking to add another limb to his collection and take a shiny new belt home in the process. History has shown Hill to be the busier fighter on the ground, throwing up more submission attempts and attempts to improve position... However, could the patience and effectiveness of The Champ take the challenger by surprise and earn himself his first title defense of his career?
Co-Main Event - 265 lbs ‘O.G’ Big Boy vs Kyle ‘One Time’ Nelson
Heavyweight title implications in a MASSIVE heavyweight bout featuring the heavy-handed "O.G" Big Boy vs the undefeated Kyle "One Time" Nelson. Big Boy having a quick turn around here after shutting Anthony Prilla's lights off in 17 seconds at CFC 523, earning himself a knockout of the night bonus for his troubles. Possibly the number one striker in the CFC heavyweight division, Big Boy utilizes his wonderful Muay Thai game to land sleep inducing blows at a range or take them into his devastating clinch. He currently averages around 15 strikes a fight, but his results show that it only needs one to end the night. Standing across the cage from him on Feb 4th is Kyle "One Time" Nelson, an undefeated, granite-chinned, monster of a man looking to catapult himself into the number one spot any way he can. Showing he's more than just a striker, "One Time" has demonstrated his ground game with 50% of his finishes coming by submission to accompany an incredibly accurate striking game. Will “One Time” try to keep it standing and utilize his sharp boxing in this one, or try to mix it up and keep the “O.G” guessing? This truly is a battle between the nuclear power of the O.G versus the well rounded MMA game of "One Time" Nelson.
145 lbs Championship Terrence Gordy vs George ‘The Barbarian’ Hale
The inaugural 145lbs title is on the line here in an incredibly exciting matchup between two polar opposite fighters who don't like seeing the scorecards. CFC's own resident LARPer, Hale, looks to stay undefeated and go 4-0 in the promotion by using his heavy hands to shut his opponents lights off before seeing the mat. The Barbarian has a 66% finish rate, using his superior clinch work and excellent Muay Thai game to put those game enough to stand across from him to sleep. Terrence Gordy has willingly answered the call and gets a shot at the vacant title after going 6-1 in his career, all his wins by submission. 5 of them coming by armbar. In his last 7 fights he is yet to throw a single strike. Could this be the one where he finally attempts a punch? Whatever happens, he's shown that he sure as hell doesn't need to, to get that W.
265 lbs John Akuma v Antonio Prilla II
Two big boys in our heavyweight division head back into the cage for a chance to get back to their winning ways. Akamu has been in training his whole camp for a different opponent, with a change coming two days before the fight was scheduled to take place. John Akamu, one of the bright prospects of the CFC heavyweight division, suffered his first set back of his career when he dropped a three-round decision to former title challenger, Akamu Jackson. The Muay Thai expert hopes to get back in the win column by dispatching a former opponent once again. His wonderful clinch game has shown to be a force to be reckoned with, landing almost 100% of his strikes at over 20 attempts per fight in his 3-fight career. Anthony Prilla has stepped in for a chance at redemption, both from an embarrassing last performance and for another shot at John Akamu who he has previously been stopped by. The CFC veteran hopes to demonstrate his well-rounded stand-up game once again and prevent his second losing streak of his career. This one has excitement written all over it folks. I’d be betting my house that we’re not going the distance in this one.
145 lbs Mario Yamasaki v Andy Slappin
The definition of a kill or be killed fighter, CFC veteran Mario Yamasaki has seen the judge’s scorecard once in his 7-fight career. He hopes to move to a cool 6-2 in career with a win over the up and comer Andy Slappin. I’m thinking this ones going to be an absolute one-sided affair, but I couldn’t tell you which way it’s going to go. Mario averages less than 7 strikes landed per fight but has managed to shut the lights off on 5 opponents in less than 8 minutes combined. In fights he can’t get going, his offense dwindles and he can shell up. With low morale coming into this one, I’d be nervous if I was in his corner as to what version of him we’re going to see. An all rounder up and coming fighter hailing from Stowe, USA, Andy Slappin’s got the ability to take it wherever he wants and ride his way to a victory. Coming off two decision victories in a row, he completely negated any offense thrown his way and coasted his way to two dominant (maybe a little lackluster) wins. His one sole defeat in his career against title challenger George Hale showed a similar trait as Yamasaki in which he didn’t offer a lot on the offensive side when it wasn't going his way. We’ve got a battle on our hands here folks, perhaps a battle of who’s going to become the hammer and who’ll be the nail. I think that if the chin holds up for Andy, it could be a long night for Mario. But who knows, we’ve seen that Yamasaki only needs one shot to head home early.
