  Welcome back fight fans for round 2 of this weekend's fights at Heavyweight Prize Fighting, where there is ALWAYS 20 astounding matches featuring 40 of your very own best participants with major weight differences. Sunday we will have some of the most intriguing fights MMATycoon has seen thus far.







First,



Alex James vs Jeffrey Lebowski



212lbs 185cm (15-15) – 285lbs 190cm (8-3)







The Crazyhorse Alex James was riding a 4 fight win streak and smooth sailing until his train got derailed by Alistair Overdose in the middle of the second round in his last time out. The skills that he impressed HWP fans with havent gone anywhere as he is still quite the grappler. At 28 years old he can turn things around again much like he has done throughout his career but it will be tough with Lebowski staring him down. The standup fighting machine that Lebowski is, just might be a bit too much for James. Outweighing him by 70lbs+ and being a good defensive wrestler, I just do not see him being taken down in this fight. He possesses all the tools a man needs to decimate a foe in the standup and a bear in the clinch. Unless Crazyhorse has something up his sleeve it will be a rather long, short night if you know what I mean.







Bubba Bubba vs Hazni Ali



245lbs 195cm (6-3) – 245lbs 190cm (21-15)







If you ask me, I believe Hazni Ali cannot WAIT for his career to be over, at age 37 his gas tank seems to be getting smaller by the fight. Winning one of his last six with four stoppages, it is only a matter of time before father time, or his Hazni's fight manager pulls the plug. In this fight against Bubba, I think he will be in more trouble as Bubba is a better ground fighter, which has been Hazni's main path to victory. Bubba will look to improve his position frequently and avoid ground strikes while occaisionally attempting a submission that could stop the fight cold. Despite failing to evade head punches at an alarming rate, I think Bubba will have the advantage here in what some fight fans would call our “cruiserweight” match of the evening.







Crazy Fred Collins vs Emelyan Pugachov



247lbs 185cm (31-22) - 285lbs 190cm (7-3)







Fred Collins, affiliated with the Public Enemy Alliance will attempt to add another win to his 53 fight career after 39 years. He has spent plenty of time with HWP which is very impressive and always fun to see. Unfortunately he has seen better days and his generalist skills I do not believe will do him any favors against Emelyan Sunday. Emelyan will come in with about 40lbs more than Collins that he can use to manipulate where the fight takes place. Coming off of a split decision loss that frustrated him more than a one on one meeting with your supervisor monday morning, I think he has all the motivation he needs to be a bit more dangerous in the cage. His kicking skills are what will tilt this fight in his favor, he generates much power and force on his kicks and will have a decent reach ability with his 2 inch height advantage. I expect the young Russian Rebel to take this one despite his manager deciding he didnt have the heart to manage violence anymore.







Lastly, the main event!



Sunny Supernova vs Jeremy Jackson TITLEBOUT!



180lbs 183cm (35-11) – 256lbs 190cm (20-8)







“I've heard that story before” is a phrase commonly used when youre tired of seeing something happen and are not too thrilled to see it happen again but that is simply not the situation for these two foes in out 265lb title bout Sunday. After winning 7 fights in a row, Jeremy felt like he was on top of the world until he ran into Brian King, or should I say King ran into him. Poised to take Jackson's belt, that was exactly what he did and he has not looked back thus far. Holding a 70lb weight advantage over Sunny, I expect him to look to his kickboxing skills to lead him to victory again by hammering Supernova with damaging strikes. Sunny, although I do not, sees it otherwise. He too is an excellent kickboxer with an impressive resume of wins over hall of fame level opponents but like another common phrase in america, “i think he bit off a little more than he can chew” as if the first fight's result wasnt enough. Adding insult to injury, Jackson injured Sunny's face in the first fight as he destroyed him by TKO. I expect JJ to do the exact same again.







With our exciting title bout and a great card of fights, I expect yet another great event from bottom to top. I would like to thank all of my readers and remember in Sin City, you can ALWAYS make bets on your fights in HWP. All have a great week and TO ALL ENJOY!
