 In one of DMMA's biggest cards yet, DMMA 235 sees a double belt main and co-main headlining a weekend full of DMMA goodness. Both the 185 and 205 belts are on the line!
Main Card Preview
MAIN EVENT - 185 Title - Zachary Klimenko vs Chip Nickel
A titanic show down which will see DMMA's defending 185 champ Klimenko take on the last ever SPPS 185 champion Nickel. Nickel is a certified SPPS Hall of Famer who reigned supreme in their 185 division for extended periods. The part time freelance journalist, who also held the Hardcore title at one point, perenially relies on his superb chin and unrelenting persistence to overcome his opponents. Klimenko on the other hand is currently the #1 185er on the planet and is working towards staking his HOF claim. He has never been knocked out but has proven that his hands are just as hard, with over 70% of his victories coming by (T)KO. Will he look cash in on a potentially ageing Nickel, or will Chip get the scoop of the month with a win?
Co-MAIN EVENT - 205 Title - Swole Ricky Martin vs Jimmy Nitro
Fresh off his unbelievable title win and massive boost of fame off former champ Borowa Gora, Ricky Martin is looking to stamp his authority with his first title defence. To date, "Porrachinha" is the only man to beat Gora under the combined Dynasty Contenders/DMMA banner, and he did so the hard way. Martin was rocked early and thoroughly dominated in the first round before showing huge heart and bouncing back to claim the second round and stun the world with a massive finish at the start of the third. Standing across from him will be Jimmy Nitro, who treads a path not too dissimilar to Gora. Nitro forged his way upwards between DMMA and DC, and became the inaugural DC 185 champion before moving to 205 after losing it during his second defence. The hugely popular Nitro brings some heavy hands and a sneaky sub game to the table, but the champion Martin is more than equipped to make his life difficult. Martin's defensive grappling has been on point with complete nullification of Zekariays Solomon and Shape Shifter in recent times, but it remains to be seen if Nitro will play that game or simply choose to swarm with his patented 'APE PACE'.
155 lb - Anabolic Asteroid vs Galen Dall Jr
This fight has huge ramifications for the potential future of the 155 division, with both guys on the fringes of a potential title challenger spot. Asteroid has been to the big dance once already, dropping a decision to the still reigning champion, Jesse Pinkman. His results since then have been somewhat mixed, but he remains as deadly as ever given the absolute killer's row he's been facing. Dall Jr on the other hand is taking a big step up. A long time DMMA stalwart, Dall Jr is riding a three win streak (two finishes) and will be looking to stamp his arrival at the pointier end of the division. These two have a history with a previous encounter at DMMA 156 with Asteroid taking a close decision in a grapple heavy fight. Will we see a repeat in style or could both guys come out swinging instead?
185 lb - Bagel Boss vs Charles Bukowski
In this matchup, the popular Bagel Boss is making his DMMA debut vs a very game Charles Bukowski. Bukowski comes into the fight after struggling with some form in both DMMA and DC, before changing his managers around before settling on newcomer Ahmed Ahmeti. This brought immediate results with a decisive win at DC 85, snapping a three fight losing streak. Following that performance, Bukowski's manager immediately pushed for another fight citing that Bukowski was ready to go again after such a quick fight. Answering the call is veteran Bagel Boss, who lines up for his 57th professional fight. It's kill or be killed with his deceptively fast hands, with the Boss only going to a decision a mere 10 times. The Boss comes to bang! Can Bukowski back up his talk against the veteran, or has he bitten off more than he can chew?
185 lb - Mr Pervitin vs Chris Jarvis
Starting our main card is another 185 matchup, with both fighters looking to pick up their second straight DMMA victory in two attempts. Jarvis is the younger less experienced man, but both fighters sport similar strengths in striking. The key to victory here for him is to keep it on the feet where both fighters are evenly matched. Pervitin is a former Enigma champion under the famous Marky Mark tutelage and will be looking to mix in his (on paper) grappling advantage to secure victory. Only one man can potentially come away with a perfect 2-0-0 to start their DMMA career, who will it be?
