 Hello to you all and welcome back to another edition of GAMMA Preview. My name is Smash Mathers and I'm here with you live to break down the top fights of this weekend's event, GAMMA#370 Williams vs Kenichi 4, brought to you by Affordable Quality. Let's get right to it folks!
265 lbs Bout:(#9)Jt Colossus(36-5-1) vs. (#10)Gabriel Gzrel(26-11)
Elite Boxer, English "The Warwagon" Jt Colossus uses his exceptional wrestling talent to keep his fights standing. He thrives in a brawl, this GAMMA veteran has scored twenty-six of his thirty-six career victories by way of T/KO. With victories under his belt over Kenichi Shirahama, as well as George Foreman, another victory over Gabriel Gzrel would set him up with another shot at being a top ranked contender. Expect for Colossus to avoid clinches and takedowns, and display his superior standup ability to secure himself a knockout victory.
With a brutal knockout victory in his debut against Jim Janos, Gzrel has been on a streak in his previous career as well. With sensational Muay Thai, and a balanced set of skills to back it up, he looks to control his opponent's pace and pulverize him with knees and elbows, opening them up with cuts, and tiring them out. He is a beast in the gym, fueled by some kind of hellish energy. Look for him to invoke his will against Colossus early in the first, as he looks to prove he deserves to be here.
205 lbs Bout:(#10)Bobby McBobby(16-8-1) vs. (#11)Gegard Mousasi(23-9)
Fighting out of Seattle, "The Killer" Bobby McBobby is an exciting thai boxer. He uses world-class Muay Thai to dominate his opponent in the clinch. Versatile however, he possesses elite boxing, as well as a purple belt in jiu-jitsu. He is dangerous in all areas of the fight game. Picking up his only draw, and following that with a landslide decision victory over Rashad Evans, McBobby is now ready to make his climb up the 205 lbs rankings.
Gegard "Dream Catcher" Mousasi is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master, and this humble fighter has left little weakness in the rest of his game. He shows talent in boxing, muay thai, as well as wrestling, and with his chin of stone, he is always looking to push the pace and finish his fights in impressive fashion. After a nice three fight winning streak, he would lose in his title challenge of Adis Djurdjevic, and then again to Abu Dhabi champ Jesse Custer due to an unfortunate third round cut, in a fight that could've gone either way. He will look to redeem himself with a victory.
205 lbs. Bout:(#3)Adis Djurdjevic(21-10-1) vs.(#4) Jesse Custer(13-3)
Twenty-nine year old Adis Djurdjevic is a world-class boxer with elite muay thai and a black belt in jiu-jitsu. He is a persistent submission fighter who is relentless with his takedowns and extremely thorough with clinch control. Two time champion, he would lose to Roger Dunowevil by way of a flurry of clinch knees. He looks to chop Custer out of the way and ensure himself another chance at title gold.
And as his opponent, we have "Preacher" Jesse Custer, who made waves after his GAMMA debut victory over Donald Gaskins. He would earn two more wins over Kosmo Kramer and Gegard Mousasi, by TKO and decision, respectively. In their first bout, Custer got caught by Djurdjevic with a late guillotine in the fourth. Another loss to Andora's Ender Wiggin would provide Custer the motivation he needed, picking up a decision victory over tough competitor Malietoa Feti, and following that with another win in his rematch against Gegard Mousasi. Can he deal with the pressure of his loss in their first bout, and pull off an upset victory in this exciting rematch?
265 lbs. Championship Bout: Kenichi Shirahama(24-9-1) vs. Simon Williams(32-7-1)
And then we have the bout we have all been waiting for. The fans will get their money's worth in this bout alone. Fireworks are set to go off as Williams challenges Shirahama for his 265 lbs title. These men are not strangers, having met already in a best of three series. Shirahama took the first bout by way of armbar in the fourth, earning himself Submission of the Night. In their second fight they battled their hearts out all the way to a draw, but both men took home Fight of the Night bonuses. The third would go to Williams way, concluding with a unanimous decision. Both men technically one and one against each other, we have the ultimate rematch to see who is truly the better man.
Kenichi "The Strongest Disciple" Shirahama has been fairly successful in the GAMMA since his debut loss against Jt Colossus back in April, with only other losses to opponent Williams, and Buster Grimes. With a Submission of the Night victory over Fidel Duberry, he then would redeem his loss with a TKO victory of Colossus. Since his series with Williams, he found another SotN worthy armbar victory over Dean Martin. Word is he has been working outside of the GAMMA, and winning there as well. His head kicks are deadly accurate and powerful as well. He is very agile as well as versatile, with a red belt in jiu-jitsu and exceptional striking.
Simon Williams has been a main eventer here in the GAMMA ever since his debut in May, as well as an exciting fighter, earning 'of the Night' bonuses in all but two of his twelve fights. He has wins over Jt Colossus, Fidel Duberry, and Duster Grimes, to name a few. He is an elite striker with sensational wrestling. He has endless cardio and great dirty boxing in the clinch. Since his series with Shirahama he has been on a killing spree, finishing five opponents in a row, all in the first or second round. He will look to finish Shirahama Sunday night to prove himself the better fighter, and true 265 lbs Champion.
