                                WarZone 1 :The Battle Begins

Einar Haugen (Rec.0-0, WZ 0-0) vs Benjamin ``Poulsen`` The Bull (Rec.1-0, WZ 0-0)

This evening’s main event is in the lightweight division. Both fighters will want to make an impression tonight.

Haugen comes to the fight with a record of 0-0. Having a slight advantage over his opponent with his boxing, Haugen will no doubt want to keep this fight standing. As an untested fighter making his debut in the main event the stress will be on him, so let’s hope for his sake that he keeps his discipline.

 

The Bull on the other hand comes to the fight with one win to his name. The Bull showed in his last fight that he is a well-rounded, and versatile fighter. Although throwing a few kicks in his last fight The Bull made most of his progress on the ground with a mix of GnP and sub attempts. This wasn’t enough though for a straight out win with the fight ending in a decision.

 

Winner’s Prediction: I think with his well-rounded approach to fighting. The bull is going to add another win to his record. If he does then he can go on to make a name within WarZone. Benjamin ``Poulsen`` The Bull will win via unanimous decision!

 

 

Memet Van De Tron (Rec.0-0, WZ 0-0) vs Masuta ``Master`` Alpha (Rec.0-0, WZ 0-0)

Co-main event of the evening in featherweight division. The classic wrestling vs stand up fight.

Van De Tron makes his MMA debut. He will want to take the action on the ground where his BJJ can resolve the outcome of the fight. Memet must be very careful on his feet and move wisely, his takedowns must be well timed to ensure he will win.

 

Alpha goes into this fight with the record of 0-0. He is a professional Muay Thai fighter with a good boxing background. He will want to keep this fight standing at all costs. He must be patient with his kicks to not be taken to the ground where he can be easily submitted.

 

Winner´s Prediction: This will be the battle of nerves where both of fighters must be very patient and disciplined. Every wrong move in the fight will be punished! I think the first wrong move will be made by Memet Van De Tron and ``Master`` Alpha will knock him out with couple of punches. Masuta ``Master`` Alpha will win via (T)KO!

 

 

David ``Big D`` Li (Rec.0-0, WZ 0-0) vs Matteo Scarpi (Rec.1-0, WZ 0-0) Heavyweight bout that brings a lot of attention to this fight card. Both fighters are looking for a KO tonight!

``Big D`` has a record of 0-0, but is a promising WarZone fighter with an awesome standup game. He must use his reach advantage and keep the distance with his kicks and Muay Thai knowledge.

 

Scarpi comes to the fight with the record of 1-0. His first win was by the way of knockout in the first round! Scarpi is well rounded fighter with wonderful boxing skills and good wrestling background. He has more experience in the fight business and he can choose where he wants the fight to go.

 

Winner´s Prediction: This will be the fight of the giants where both of fighters are higher than 200cm. Scarpi is a more well-rounded fighter than David Li who only has his Muay Thai in his advantage. The result of a heavyweight fight is NEVER for sure, but I will give this one to Matteo Scarpi who can possibly chase the belt after this fight! Matteo Scarpi will win via KO!

 

 

Lionel ``Behemoth`` Santos (Rec.0-0, WZ 0-0) vs Charlie ``The Drunk`` Sheen (Rec. 1-0, WZ 0-0)

The match is set in the light heavyweight division. Our 18 years old home town boy against the tough fighter from St Petersburg.

 

Santos will try to win in his first pro MMA fight. He is a great boxing prospect and he wants this fight standing where he can knock his opponent out. He must stay on the outside and wait for the counters after the takedown attempt.

 

Sheen has 1 victory after his MMA debut in the beginning of July. He won by the unanimous decision 30-27. In that fight he showed the quality of his wrestling where his opponent was taken down easily several times. He tried to finish his opponent with submission, but didn´t succeed. He will try to do the same to Lionel Santos, no doubt about it!

 

Winner´s Prediction: It will be a close fight, with loads of action on the ground, but every fight starts on the feet! My prediction goes to Lionel Santos because I believe he won´t be submitted and BJJ is the only chance for Sheen´s victory. Lionel ``Behemoth`` Santos will win via majority decision!

 

Other fights predictions:

Hrvoje Horvat vs Leon Virginie

Virginie is going to use his decent Muay Thai against BJJ fighter. Virgine will win via KO!

 

Lemmy Osbourne vs Michelangelo Schotborgh

Osbourne is more well rounded fighter and he will finish this one on the ground. Osbourne will win via submission!

 

Masuta All vs Supido Sureiya

All is more well rounded, but Sureiya is stronger and a lot better stand up fighter. Sureiya will win via majority decision!

 

Andrew Kong vs Mike Kellog

Kong is a decent wresler and even better in BJJ. The fight will go to the ground. Kong will win via submission!

 

Joni Sipil vs Ivan Horvat

Horvat is better striker and his big right hand will catch Sipil in the takedown attempt. Horvat will win via (T)KO!

 

Noah Cold vs Chris Davis

Davis has the power to keep this fight on the ground and GnP Cold. Davis will win via unanimous decision!
