Panter Ready For Bigger Things!

Fighter profile of Dave Panter by

Heavyweight Dave "8 Pint" Panter had his first MMA fight June 21st. He started with a bang, knocking Andrzej Michaski out cold at the 4:24 mark in the first round. Just one month later Panter followed his impressive debut with another first round KO, this time over Lucifer Dael (1-0 at the time). Dael lasted only 1:37! It looked like Dave panter was on his way.

Then it happened. Panters manager took a powder! After a 2-0 start with two first round KO's, Panter was left high and dry, with no one to lean on to get him fights, sponsors, or any of the other help that a young fighter needs. Three long months go by with nothing happening for this talented young fighter. He must have wondered if hw was ever going to fight again. Then, in early October, Panter got his break. New fight manager Mike Dixon saw this "young gun" and new he wanted him in his stable. Panter needed a manager in the worse way, and Dixon loved what he saw in Panter. A marriage made in fighters heaven!

265lbs Title Fight - Jack Potatos vs Kristow Zedski

  Current Geezers heavyweight champion Jack Potatos will be looking to impressively step back into the winning column as he takes on Kristow "The Jetski" Zedski who is coming fresh off a 5 second knockout victory and is riding a crazy wave of momentum. These fighters have already clashed once before, with Potatos drawing first blood and notching a stoppage victory. Jetski comes into the rematch with a potent ground game he has possessed for quite some time. He has fallen in love with the striking game and has often put his ground skills in his back pocket while enjoying his success with his bungalows. Potatos has proven once before that standing with him is a highly dangerous decision. Although the wrestling skills of the Jetski are simply phenominal, taking down and having your way with a goliath like Potatos is easier said than done. I think Zedski's best chances are closing the distance and trying at all costs to employ a ground strategy. I predict the Jetski will get consumed once again by the wave that is Jack Potatos. He will win via TKO in round 1 after feeling out and neutralizing the wrestling assault.
