 Thank you for joining me on this beautiful day here in Tokyo. “Eye” Ronnie Way with WayFights.com back from a very long hiatus to bring you more exciting MMA news. Flocorp New Players Fight Club is the hottest new organization to hit Tokyo. In just a matter of weeks, their roster has risen to over 200 fighters and growing! Every weightclass is available so if you have a new fighter looking for a home, this is where you want to be. And with the events rolling in back to back, there’s no telling how huge this will get. I’m starting the bandwagon on this and I’ll either look like a fool or be the baddest reporter this side of the rising sun has ever seen! So let’s get started!
Main Event
Heavyweight Bout
Willis “One Hit” Wonderman (1-0) [0-0 FNPFC] vs “The Tiger” Nakamura Muramaki (1-0) [0-0 FNPFC]
Headlining this event are two of the top Heavyweight prospects on the FNPFC roster today. Both of these guys are making their FNPFC debuts with one win each. Willis Wonderman came out of his last fight with a huge come from behind TKO victory early in the second round. I’m sure he’ll be looking to rely on those heavy hands to clinch the win. But Nakamura Muramaki isn’t going to let that happen. His last opponent had some serious hands and Muramaki was able to earn the decision win. And if he comes in with the same strategy as his first fight, Wonderman should be patient and look for the right opportunity to counter. Otherwise, the takedown specialist, Muramaki, will be walking away with his hand raised.
Prediction: “The Tiger” Nakamura Muramaki
via Decision (Round 3)
Co-Main Event
Light Heavyweight Bout
Taw Paw DawThang Awi (0-0) [0-0 FNPFC] vs Ned Kelly (0-1) [0-1 FNPFC]
The co-main event features a Light Heavyweight fight with highly hyped prospect Taw Par DawThang Awi making his professional debut against Ned Kelly. Both of these guys are very evenly matched. The only difference is in their grappling styles. Awi has the jiu-jitsu edge while Kelly has the wrestling edge. If this goes to the ground, I do think Awi will get the finish and you can be sure that this one will end brutally.
Prediction: Taw Paw DawThang Awi
via (T)KO (Round 2)
Main Card
Middleweight Bout
Quincey “”Q” Ball” Ballard (1-0) [0-0 FNPFC] vs Mark Kirilenko (0-0) [0-0 FNPFC]
A middleweight division matchup follows with Quincey Ballard taking on the Russian, Mark Kirilenko. While both of these guys are making their debut in FNPFC, Ballard has one win to his name and completely outclassed his last opponent. Relentless in his attacks, Ballard will be looking to use his Muay Thai skills to do the same to Kirilenko. The young Russian should be looking to utilize his great wrestling skills to nullify the standup game of Ballard. If Kirilenko can keep Ballard on his back, he’ll take the win. But Ballard has shown excellent takedown defense and if he can stay out of range of the takedowns, he’ll easily walk away with the victory.
Prediction: Quincy “”Q” Ball” Ballard
via Decision (Round 3)
Main Card
Welterweight Bout
David “Monster” Jackal (0-1) [0-0 FNPFC] vs Petyr “Littlefinger” Balish (0-1) [0-1 FNPFC]
This next fight features two Welterweights who are looking for the first win of their careers. Making his debut at FNPFC, David Jackal will be looking to correct the errors he made from his last fight. Despite his success in the standup department, he shot for takedown after takedown with no success. If that’s his gameplan coming into this next fight, Petyr Balish surely will welcome it. A brown belt in jiu-jitsu, Balish will need to take this fight to the ground in order to get the win but Jackal has shown some great takedown defense, stuffing all but one of his opponent’s attempts. If he keeps a clear head and stays on the outside, Jackal should win this one.
Predicition: David “Monster” Jackal
via Decision (Round 3)
Main Card
Middleweight Bout
Jaquan “God” Walker (0-0) [0-0 FNPFC] vs Rick Cahill (0-0) [0-0 FNPFC]
We go back to the Middleweight division for another newcomer’s bout between Jaquan Walker and Rick Cahill. A boxer versus a muay thai fighter but more importantly, an all-out war. Both of these guys will come out hard to try and earn their first win in the cage. It’s going to be very hard to say who wins this one as both of these guys are so well matched, they even train at the same gym! But I’ve learned that those that come from poverty usually have more to prove so I’ll go with Walker on this one.
Prediction: Jaquan “God” Walker
via (T)KO (Round 2)
Undercard
Light Heavyweight Bout
David Jay (0-0) [0-0 FNPFC] vs Suea Neung (0-0) [0-0 FNPFC]
Better late than never, these two twenty-five year olds are making their professional MMA debut in a Light Heavyweight matchup that features the American, David Jay and Suea Neung of Thailand. Both of these guys will be looking for the finish but Jay is a little more of a well-rounded fighter. Neung has some great wrestling skills but his Muay Thai is top notch. Neung has the standup advantage but the ground advantage will have to go to Jay. If Jay can stay away from the strikes and get the takedown, a submission victory will come his way. But I believe Neung will be able to stuff the takedowns and secure the victory.
Prediction: Suea Neung
via (T)KO (Round 1)
Undercard
Featherweight Bout
Chris “The Grim” Reaper (0-0) [0-0 FNPFC] vs Gijsbert “The Equalizer” Van Der Meulen (0-1) [0-1 FNPFC]
Chris Reaper is making his Featherweight debut tonight against the very young Gijsbert Van Der Meulen. Van Der Meulen has fought once in FNPFC and had an odd gameplan in that fight. He threw a lot of headkicks against a much taller fighter and was only able to land a few. If he goes in with that gameplan again, he’ll definitely lose the fight as Reaper is even taller than his last opponent. He had great success with low kicks and body kicks and should look to utilize those more in this upcoming fight. If he does, he’ll be able to take away some of the spring of Reaper who should be getting in close and going after the takedowns as he has a grappling edge. If Reaper can take Van Der Meulen down, he should be able to get the tap. Van Der Meulen needs to wear Reaper down with low/body kicks and use that decent cardio that he has to get the decision.
Prediction: Gijsbert “The Equalizer” Van Der Meulen
via Decision (Round 3)
Undercard
Welterweight Bout
“Satsujinsha” Jeffery Miller (0-1) [0-1 FNPFC] vs Paul Newlove (0-0) [0-0 FNPFC]
“Satsujinsha” is looking for his first win against the debuting Englishman, Paul Newlove in this Welterweight matchup. Newlove needs to avoid the nutshots by Miller because in Miller’s last fight, he went low, not once, but twice against his opponent. While he had quite the advantage because of it, his opponent was patient and got the quick sweep and the tap, probably out of anger. If that’s the case, maybe Newlove should take a couple of shots where the sun don’t shine and use that anger to explode for the victory. Newlove needs to watch for the GNP of Miller and maybe counter one of those shots for a submission. It’s hard to say who will have the advantage going to the ground but it’ll be Newlove’s best bet to win this fight.
Prediction: Paul Newlove
via Submission (Round 1)
Undercard
Welterweight Bout
Mateusz “Kouzi” Wiaz (1-0) [0-0 FNPFC] vs Andrey “Andy” De Vega (0-1) [0-1 FNPFC]
Another Welterweight matchup features the newcomer, Mateusz Wiaz, taking on Andrey De Vega. This may be Wiaz’s first fight in FNPFC, but he’s coming in with a beautiful submission victory and the confidence that he can submit anybody this organization puts him up against. De Vega was taken down and took a huge elbow to the jaw in his last fight but he’s back to try and secure a victory. De Vega needs to stuff the takedowns of Wiaz in order to keep this fight standing and gain the upper hand but I’m very doubt he can do that. Wiaz should be able to win this one quickly.
Prediction: Mateusz “Kouzi” Wiaz
via Submission (Round 1)
Undercard
Heavyweight Bout
Arthur “Beast” Lynch (0-1) [0-0 FNPFC] vs Suea Sam (0-0) [0-0 FNPFC]
This undercard fight shows two fighters in the Heavyweight division making their first appearance at FNPFC. Although Arthur Lynch came up short in his last fight suffering a submission loss just before the bell in the first round, he’s here to prove that he is a great grappler against a formidable opponent, Suea Sam. Sam is making his MMA debut with boxing skills that Ali would be proud of. I don’t know how he’ll be able to verse against the grappling of Lynch but unless he is able to drop Lynch real fast, he’s going to get taken down and submitted.
Prediction: Arthur “Beast” Lynch
via Submission (Round 1)
What an event this will be folks! This is definitely the show to be watching if you want to see great MMA action. Expect some quick finishes and great fights. Hope to see you guys there! This is “Eye” Ronnie Way for WayFights.com. Thanks for tuning in!
