 170lbs - War hardened MMA veteran Oakley Bark makes his second appearance in the Geezers cage as he squares off against the crafty and lethal Lee Machin. Bark is a highly unique fighter with a whopping 27 submission victories to his name. He is tied for the 3rd most submission victories in the entire sport so his game plan isn't very hard to predict. Machin is without a doubt the more well rounded fighter, and has a pretty sizable advantage in the striking realm. He is capable and competent on the ground although it's probably not worth the risk to tango in Bark's main and only comfort zone. Machin should win without much resistance if he is able to stay disciplined and maintain his focus. He needs to utilize his superior boxing and land damaging body shots while thwarting the wrestling attempts of Bark. I believe Machin will be too large of a mountain to climb and Bark will lose a Unanimous Decision in his vain attempts at bringing the fight to the canvas.
185lbs - The Geezers middleweight division is proud to welcome Tom Jones to the ranks as he is set to make his promotional debut against long time company man Jim Duggan. The hacksaw has been with Geezers basically since the beginning and has fought the best of the best the organization has to offer. He has some notable power and almost every single one of his victories resulted in a TKO finish. Jones might decide to avoid the power of his opponent and try to force a grappling exchange where he has a decent advantage. His wrestling and jiu jitsu game are further developed and could pay dividends as the fight stretches into the late rounds. If Jones sees his opponent eye to eye and meets him in a striking exchange, it might be a case of who can sustain the most damage before going down. I think Jones will win a close decision after a mean slug fest.
155lbs - The hyper talented Tony Jax is ready for battle against Mr Bronze who is making his organizational debut along with Jax, providing the Geezers lightweight division with some fresh new meat. Both of these titans really love to lay it on the line and really pour their hearts out in their scraps. They also both have black belts in jiu jitsu but decide not to favor or utilize that aspect of the game as much in their battles. Although Jax has won lots of his fights by decision this fight is very likely to end in a finish. They have both been caught and put out numerous times before so it might come down to whoever connects with the cleaner strikes wins. This is a tough fight to predict although Jax does have a slightly more developed game and I think he will win by TKO in the 2nd round.
265lbs - Heavyweight threat Stephen Axe returns to battle after losing a bitter decision against Urpo Muilu a few weeks ago. He takes on Mag Ne who seeks his first win in the geezers cage and really has nothing to lose at this point. Ne is an outstanding boxer and has some true power that should never be taken lightly. The greatest factor in this fight will be the clinch, kicks and overall muay thai game of Axe and to what extent Ne can thwart it. This is an extremely tough fight for Ne and if he can pull it off it will be a remarkable feat. Axe has proven to have a great chin and great skills and he is almost guaranteed certain victory if he keeps his head on his shoulders. I think he will come close to finishing but win a lopsided unanimous decision when the dust has settled.
170lbs - Julio Driggs, fresh under new management looks to maintain his success in geezers as he takes on Ali Bang, a dangerous and skilled ground fighter. Bang has a sizable advantage in terms of grappling and a sizable disadvantage in striking, paving the road for a classic striker vs grappler contest. If Driggs can neutralize his foe in the clinch and stay on his feet he will have a clean shot at victory although it will be no easy task. Bang has a ground style that could be Driggs kryptonite but I think he will lose the fight after getting neutralized and after a few ref stand ups. This fight will be close and I think Driggs will pull out a Unanimous or Majority decision victory.
