The Canadian Fighting Championships takes its Version 2.0 – The Pay Per View Era to new heights on Sunday, November 25. Don’t forget to place your bets at the CFC Casino, available here: http://www.mmatycoon.com/bookmakerpublic.php?bid=7045.

 

Exactly one month from CFC Christmas, always the biggest fight night on the CFC’s annual calendar, the promotion is hosting its third pay per view, and the first to provide two hours of mixed martial arts entertainment for their fans across the world.

 

There are four title belts up for grabs, plus at least one number one contender’s bout in the welterweight division.

 

The main event of the evening pits longtime CFC welterweight champ (he won it in January 2011) against relative CFC newcomer and superstar Jamal Quik. Montana is coming off a pair of losses in inter-promotional competition, while Quick is riding a six-fight win streak, including knockout victories in each of his first two fights with the CFC. Both guys have great striking skills and Montana knows what it takes to be considered among the true elite in the MMA world. He has also been improving his grappling game and could try to take advantage of his jiu jitsu edge should be successfully take Quik down. The odds at the Casino have the champ as a slight dog, so I’d jump on that action before the bookies get smart.

 

In the co-main event slot, champion Bob Chong looks to make his second title defence in just his third CFC appearance. One of the few fighters in promotional history to get a title shot in his debut match in the promotion, Chong possesses across the board talent that will put Jai Malek to the test. Malek has had a great career in the organization to date and boasts a 20-4 record across his career. But most people seem to think he won’t be able to keep up with the champ in this contest. Disagree? Heads to the CFC Casino and gets some great odds.

 

Al Bundy looks to make his first defence of the Light Heavyweight title against Ryan Larkin on Sunday. Bundy, who has won all four of his CFC appearances, plus a fight he took in short notice in GAMMA on behalf of the CFC, is just a mean fighter. He’s one of those tough, grindy, grimy kind of opponents that nobody matches well against. Fortunately for Larkin, he’s played this game before and nobody intimidates him. A  former two-time CFC champ, Larkin possesses great power and has only been stopped twice in 38 career fights. Expect this one to be a contender for Fight of the Night.

 

The fourth and last title fight of the night see Joao Pequeno, who has appeared on both previous CFC pay per view extravaganzas (splitting the appearances) trying to knock the Lightweight title right out of Kassidy Cullen’s hands. There’s no question Cullen wants this fight on the ground, but the wily Pequeno has been ranked as high as 20th P4P on the planet because he has great power for the weight class and exceptional defensive grappling skills. The champ is a big favourite in this contest, so keep that in mind when you’re being a degenerate gambler.

 

Takashi Katsumodo is doing everything he can to get a shot at the welterweight title, but the timing never seems to work out for him. Now a win will assure him a title shot. The challenge in front of him, however, is Shawn Kronburger, a man who actually beat him in July of this year. That was a fight Kronburger dominated, and his camp remains confident that he’ll still have TK’s number tomorrow night.
