Main event

Welterweight Championship

Eulalio Gonzalez v Lucas Lunar

Today’s Main Event of the Night, the fight of two great welterweight warriors, the clash of generations: the current Welterweight Champion, 30 years old amazing grappler coming from Monterrey, Mexico- Eulalio ‘Pipporo’ Gonzalez, who will face tonight Welterweight ‘Canadian Fighting Championship’ and ‘Boondock Fighting League’ Federations ex-Champion, 40 years old  fighter coming from Toronto, Canada- ‘The Great’ Lucas Lunar. It will be second fight of Gonzalez in ‘Mad Dogs MMA’ after he won championship by spectacular armbar in his organization’s debut. Average striker, but great ground fighter, who can submit his opponents from every position, will encounter well-rounded Canadian, who will surely try to keep this fight standing. Lunar is definitely one of the best tactician we ever saw in the cage. If you connect this with his brutal power- it’s perfect recipe for new ‘Mad Dogs MMA’ Welterweight Champion.

My Prediction: Lucas Lunar by (TKO)

------------------

Co - Main Event

Heavyweight Championship

William Shimazu v JC The Easter Bunny

In Co-Main Event of the Night, we will see clash of two great universal finishers fighting for Heavyweight Championship. The Actual Champion- great tactician, amazingly skilled in all fighting areas, 30 years old Brazilian from Paulinia- William Shimazu, will face tonight perfect match up, also being top warrior of each fighting aspect, 29 years old coming from Hoppitty Montana, United States- JC The Easter Bunny. Shimazu won most of his fights by submissions, but in last fights we could see how great and brutal striker he is. He can compete in every area with every fighter. And the stand up fight would suit Easter Bunny the most. He is one of the most spectacular fighters we ever saw, but I’m not sure how would he oppose BJJ master. In previous fights he has shown great control both, from top and bottom, so if he will keep it that way- he can be the new Heavyweight Champion. But comparing latest form of both fighters- William Shimazu is on absolute peak, and I think that he will take home the W.

My Prediction: William Shimazu by KO (Punches)

------------------

Main Card

Heavyweight Bout

Ken Banners v Rex Richards

In next fight we will see another two great fighters. The great 33 years old striker derived from Rio, Brazil- Ken Banners, and 36 years old grappler from Midland Texas, United States- Rex Richards. Richards has just stopped 5 losts in a row with guillotine named later Submission of the Night and Ken Banners is coming out with Fight of the Night after real war against Eric Cartman at his last performance. Banners’ life would be much easier tonight, if he will keep this fight standing, he doesn’t want to give even a little chance to Richards to show his great ground skills. Ken is much better stand up fighter in every aspect and on the ground it can be anything. And by anything I mean, that in this area the favorite should be Richards. And Richard wouldn’t like to keep fighting standing, especially that Banners has shown many times to his opponents, that even clinching isn’t best idea- he can score from every position.

My Prediction: Ken Banners by KO (Head Kick)

------------------

Main Card

Featherweight Bout

Stevie Hart v Layne Staley

In the upcoming fight will participate the 25 years old Singapore fighter- Stevie ‘The Evil’ Hart, who fill face two times ‘Ultimate Pit Fighting’ Featherweight Championship contender, 26 years old well-rounded fighter coming from Seattle, United States- Layne ‘Chains’ Staley. I predict, that this one will be show of grappling game from both fighters. The difference between those two fighters are that Staley has better winning ratio, and we saw few times, that Hart can be submitted be skilled ground fighters.

My Prediction: Layne Staley by Submission (Kimura)

------------------

Main Card

Middleweight Bout

Cylar Black v Beast Cobain

In next fight we will see very interesting and promising debutant, son of legendary Carlisle Black, 18 years old wrestler from Las Vegas, United States- Cylar Black. And his debut opponent will be 20 years old brawler derived from Vacaville, United States- Beast Cobain. The Cylar Black is coming to cage with great amateur MMA record of 27 wins preceded with also great highschool wrestling career. We hope to see from him unaverage technical skills and hopefully brutal ground and pound characterized to best wrestlers. But we must remember that Cobain is skilled brawler also and he will look for takedowns aswell. It’s very likely, that Black- just like most of wrestlers, won’t feel too comfortable on his back.

My Prediction: Cylar Black by TKO (Strikes)

------------------

Undercard

Middleweight Bout

Abel Speed v Akio Takada

In next fight will clash 35 years old great striker, derived from Brooklyn, United States- Abel ‘Amazin’ Speed, and last Middleweight Championship contender, 40 years old Japanese from Tokyo- Akio Takada. Takada is great MMA fighter, he is gifted in every aspect of fight- he can knockdown his opponent, he can submit, he is great very experienced tactician, who can knows how to fight, how to stick to gameplan and claim the victory. 5 years younger speed has very similar skills, maybe he can look for advantage in stand up fight. He has ground skills, but he definitely prefers striking and clinching than grappling. And here we come to how well Speed can control Takada in clinch? He is better there, but Takada would be more than happy to pull the guard and work from bottom. So it would be rather more profitable for Abel to stay outside and work on Takada with his powerful kicks. But taken to the ground once, he can probably stay there, it’s unlikely that Takada will let him stand up.

My Prediction: Akio Takada by Unanimous Decision

------------------

Undercard

Lightweight Bout

Brij Khali v Timur Uzbaijzky

In next fight we will see encounter of last Lightweight Championship contender- experienced 39 years old fighter Indian from London- ‘Sir’ Brji Khali, who will face tonight 34 years old Tajikistani brawler from Azbakan- Timur ‘Timo’ Uzbaijzky. ‘Sir’ is much more experienced fighter- he has 72 professional fights in his career! It’s something amazingly unusual, I would say. But in last years of his career he is just cutting coupons from his popoularity. He never was top fighter and on last event he got chance to fight for Championship belt, but the dreams lasted only 54 seconds. And in the other hand, Tajikistani is solid MMA fighter, but in lower form- he lost his last 4 fights, which were preceded with great streak of 4 wins. He will surely keep striking his older opponent and look for KO to don’t let Khali adapt his gameplan to the fight. It’s hard to say what will happen here- Khali is very experienced and he knows how to fight and Uzbaijzky is one big unknown- he can have another spectacular fight in his career, but aswell he can just let it go again.

My Prediction: Timur Uzbaijzky by KO (Head Kick)

------------------

Undercard

Light Heavyweight Bout

James Korbett v Leiro Nayr

In next tonight’s fight we will see 20 years old boxer from Big Bear Lake, United States- James Korbett, and one of the biggest Philippinian talents of new generation- 18 years old Leiro Nayr from Manila. Korbett’s boxing skills looks very good, but he seems unexperienced. He doesn’t look natural in cage yet, but if he will improve- he can be really nice fighter. And Leiro Nayr won’t let him look for winning recipe- he won both of his professional career, what together took him… 35 seconds! Looks like pure talent. He can hammer nails with his right hand. He seems to have also good wrestling skills, but in this fight, I’m not sure what Korbett would like to look for on the ground- except some time or his teeth.

My Prediction: Leiro Nayr by KO (Punch)

------------------

Undercard

Welterweight Bout

Suleman Pokong v Johnny Luca

In another fight we will see Cameroonian 21 years old boxer from Douala- Suleman ‘King’ Pokong, who will face Dutch 19 years old debutant from Amsterdam- Jonny Luca. Pokong will be looking to stay on his feet, while Luca can try to take fight to the ground, where he can dominate his opponent. In past we also saw, that Cameroonian like to take the fight to clinch, but from what we managed to know about Dutch- it won’t be good idea. He seems to be great clincher and ground player, surely could kick strength out of his opponent in distance aswell. This one looks tough for Suleman Pokong.

My Prediction: Johnny Luca by KO (Head Kick)

------------------

Undercard

Middleweight Bout

The Steel Penn Alliance v Steve Hershey

In this Undercard fight we will see encounter of top fighters of their countries. But those are very exotic countries for mixed martial arts professional scene. The 22 years old Ghanian from Hilo- The Steel Penn Alliance, will face 31 years old Middleweight Championship ex-contender from Andorra- ‘The Man’ Steve Hershey. Hershey is much more experienced, but it’s hard to say what is going to happen in this fight. Both fighters aren’t in top form- it’s hard even to name it average. Anyway, they are both skilled, they know how to fight and how to win, but predicting the winner is really tough in this one. But if I have to, I would say

My Prediction: Steve Harshey by TKO (Strikes)
