 Welcome all fight fans to HFC’s Wednesday Fight Nights 6 where we have two title bouts and a laundry list of active battles prepared for our viewers. Sam Pickering and Jimmy Eater will start off our card of fights followed by Rocket Moon and Vinny Hopkins, then, Ronny Roist will take on Devon santos. Snake Shadow will square off with Harry Fidle and Ming Lee will take on Jaba Jabani.
Myung Kim is freakishly tall and found that to be his fall in his latest fight against Cassius Hunter as he had an Arm Triangle slapped on him and was forced to tap out before ending up with a major injury. He likewise also won two fights by submission leading us to believe that he will attempt to pull guard from the clinch and look to take advantage of his brown belt in his bout against Slatko Matic. Slatko is a similar fighter besides the height, in that he has lost and won by submission but he has exceptional striking skills. Not only is he a great striker but he will throw strikes relentlessly without fear, its rare you find fighters this aggressive early on in their careers. In his first fight he landed 80 strikes at high accuracy. This should be a freak show and an awesome brawl.
The boxer Yotsu Yotsuba is looking to start his career off with three straight victories after knocking out Manong Emong I and Hyung Shin without much of a struggle. It is said that he is extremely determined and will not quit when adversity gets tough but so far we have not seen that side of him because he is ALWAYS in control. He has heavy punches that send his opponents down and then he is so tenacious he continues to pound away at them as they are on the way down. The great runner Akhilleus is something like a kamikaze pilot, he goes for the kill without reguard of his own health and this has so far scored him two KO victories and two KO losses. He also destroyed Hyung Shin with a devastating knee followed with some heavy punches to ensure the knockout. This fight would be quite interesting if it got to the ground unfortunately I don’t see that happening. Akhilleus will look to keep it close and clinch while Yotsu will want to stay at a distance and pop strikes for a shot at a victory.
Chester Bone Crusher is coming off a loss to Aslak Joikhaaja after failing all of his submissions and was hit with an onslaught of strikes on the ground. He showed a good chin and conditioning but still fell short in a unanimous decision. He usually excels on the ground as he is the epitome of a sprawl and brawl boxer that is very capable of winning a fight striking or grappling. He will be taking on Josh Berzins who took his first loss by the hands of Harry Davies tightly wrapped around his arm looking to separate bone. Harry Davies shot in and took Berzins down and made him tap faster than you can sing your alphabet, I’m pretty sure we will get to see a rematch between these two fighters and I think it will be a different outcome. Before that unfortunate loss he built a 7-0 record 5 by submission and 2 by decision in which he also controlled the fights on the ground. These two fighters might start the fight laying down since they love to be on the ground and it will just be a matter of who can get the best position and who can lock their submissions the hardest in this exciting bout.
Aslak Joikhaaja and The Hitman Davies will give each other their best shot as they will fight as the co-main event of the night. Hitman is coming off a recent loss against Josh Berzins by submission which dropped his record to 6-3. He really wants to string together 3 fights in a row in hopes that might get him to jump out of the bunch of fighters crowded in the middle of HFC’s 170lb class. Joikhaaja has steadily improved and impressed as he has won 3 straight with his only loss of 6 matches coming from Dolor Pulchra by decision in which he got his revenge by winning the same way. Both fighters will look to win the fight on the ground as well but Joikhaaja has shown a better ground striking skill as that was his key to victory against Chester Man. I think Joikhaaja has the advantage on this one but as with any ground fighting battle, its anyone’s fight. This time it will be for a title.
The standup fighting Halo Aloha Ola will take on the ground fighting and undefeated Cassius Hunter for the 265lb HFC title. Against Mochi Takeru, Aloha was able to strike at will causing a huge gash on Takeru’s face in the first round so horrific that the doctor had to stop the fight and start sewing in stitches right in the middle of the cage. Aloha, like most of the fighters on this card won their fights by landing facially disruptive strikes from the ground. This fight will follow suit with all the rest as it will come down to what happens on the ground. In their first bout Hunter was able to lock an arm triangle for a victory and he will look to do the same here as he has become a better wrestler and submission artist. He has been on the high road to success with 4 straight victories all finishes and all submits. This will be an interesting fight and if Aloha could somehow keep the fight standing he might be able to give Hunter his first loss of his career, if not…. He might be in trouble.
