IMMA 85: Pyle vs Egyptian Preview
by Alice Cooper
 
Gomer Pyle v Sinuhe Egyptian
 
Defending his welterweight title is "General" Gomer Pyle.Pyle is a truly special talent and one of the biggest stars in IMMA.With World class boxing skills and olympic class wrestling,Saying Pyle is pretty well would be an understatement.His stand up game is backed up nicely by his Muay Thai making him dangerous at any range.He has the gas tank to keep swinging through 5 full rounds,So who ever is standing across from Pyle better be ready to fight.Perhaps most lethal are his submissions.His BJJ black belt has seen him make 8 of the 20 men hes has vanquished tap out.To sum up,General is one of the best fighters IMMA has ever seen
 
When the lights go down and Egyptian Entrance Song hits,It's go time."Cursed" Sinuhe Egyptian is currently riding high on a massive 5 fight win streak with 4 of those wins by (T)KO.His Elite boxing,World class Muay Thai and granite chin have seen him beat 13 of his 29 wins into oblivion.If Egyptian hit's you you are going down.Backing up his fierce stand up game are his sensational wrestling and brown belt in BJJ.It may also be worth noting although Cursed has 8 losses,Only two people have really beaten him.The other 6 by decision.And with 5 rounds to work with i really doubt Sinuhe will leave the outcome in the hands of the judges.
 
Prediction
Tough fight to call.Advantage Egyptian if the fight stays standing,Advantage Pyle if it goes to the ground.I am feeling bold.Egyptian by KO
 
Daniel Ruanti v Hiro Nakamura
 
Fighting out of London is the light heavyweight champion Daniel Ruanti.This brazilian born warrior is looking to show his dominance over the 205 weigh division.With sensational boxing and Muay Thai he has no shortage of fire power,beating 12 of his 29 wins by (T)KO.In other words the man can hit,and hit HARD.Ruanti is also a sensational wrestler with a brown belt in BJJ.The proud owner of 2 sub of the night,4 fight of the night and 5 KO of the night awards,When watching Daniel Ruanti expect fire works
 
The pride of Tokyo "F*ck the Cheerleader" Hiro Nakamura is a dangerous fighter.A former champion of multiple orgs he has proved time and again he is in the upper echelon of his weight division.With exceptional striking Nakamura always comes to fight.If he wraps you up in the clinch beware of his dangerous knees,His weapon of choice to wear an opponent down.His sensational wrestling and black belt in BBJ make him equally dangerous on the ground,But he prefers to look for the (T)KO.Fighting in front of his home crowd Nakamura will be looking for blood
 
Prediction
Although i expect Nakamura to bring his A game to this fight,I don't think we will see a new champ crowned tonight.I say Ruanti by TKO
 
Moacyr Domingos De Matos v George Steele
 
Moacyr Domingos De Matos has built up a pretty impressive record over the years.26 fights,21 wins,50% by (T)KO.His Elite boxing,sensational Muay Thai and insane flexibility make striking his most dangerous tool,Particularly his punches and head kicks.He is no slouch on the ground either.His sensational wrestling enables him to take the fight to the ground for a finnish and his brown belt in BJJ see's he is comfortable on his back.All in all a very complete fighter
 
George "The Animal" Steele has enjoyed a long and very successful career.A veteran with 43 fight under his belt and a very impressive 30 wins.With elite boxing,World class Muay Thai and a good gas tank steele is a very good striker,So good infact over half of his victories have come via (T)KO.He is also a very capable wrestler and has a purple belt in BJJ,Although he has yet to submit an opponent he is always in control if the fight goes to the ground
 
Prediction
I would like to see The Animal avenge his loss to De Matos tonight.If he can avoid the head kick and fight smart I think he has enough left in him to take this one by KO
 
Mahmoud Denjat v Maximus Scott
 
"Napalm Mecca" Mahmoud Denjat is a dominant wrestler with enough stamina to dictate where and how his fights happen.He has grappled his way to 25 wins so far and still has some great fights left in him.His world class Muay Thai backed up by exceptional boxing make him a diverse striker capable of controlling the range and the pace of a fight.He has a brown belt in BJJ and has a total of 8 "of the night" awards,4 fight and 4 KO.In other words Denjat's fights have you on the edge of your seat
 
Coming off back to back losses against Gomer Pyle and Sinuhe Egyptian Maximus Scott want's to regain the momentum that saw him take out 9,yes 9 opponents in a row.His skills are sensational across the board and he has the gass tank to use any one of them at any point in the fight.His record of 24-7-0 at the age of 27 tell's you all you need to know about Scott.He is one hell of a fighter
 
Prediction
I think this one goes to the judges.Two very evenly matched guys with very similar skill sets.I think Scott takes it by split decision
 
Lauri Torni v Abe Goldman
 
Lauri Torni burst onto the pro MMA scene in 2010 and certainly made a name for himself.In his first 20 fights he lost twice,and was finished only once.His world class boxing,Elite Muay Thai and superior flexibility make him a versatile striker.He also has the stamina to keep taking the fight to his opponent all night.He has sensational wrestling skills and a brown belt in BJJ.He has also grabbed 6 fight of the night and 3 KO of the night awards.Expect sparks to fly whenever Torni steps into the cage
 
Abe Goldman likes to knock people out.This powerhouse has won an astonishing 79% of his 31 fights by knocking his opponent out.His biggest weapon's are his world class boxing and granite chin.He has solid Muay Thai and wrestling and a brown belt in BJJ.A word of advice for Abe's opponent,Move fast.If Goldman starts throwing punches you are going down
 
Prediction
I doubt Torni will want to go toe to toe with Goldman in this one,He is a better ground fighter than Abe.I say Torni goes 2-0 against Goldman by TKO
