Wednesday Warfare VI is upon us and I cannot wait for the big main event. The Light Heavyweight Title is on the line tonight along with a few other great fights. As always are event partners are Meet the Future and In The Red Sportsbook. Now let’s dig into Honor Fighting Championships Wednesday Warfare VI.
Preliminary Bout Number 1- Welterweight Fight (170lbs)
Oscralo "Granalo" De Santiuya (5-4) {2-2} versus Bj "The Prodigy" Penn (0-2) {0-1}
Oscralo got off to a hot start in Honor Fighting Championships winning his first two fights. He then lost a title fight against Rock Lee and after that Coonaments was able to avenge his loss to Oscralo. This fight is a chance for him to start climbing back to the top. The reason he will struggle on his way back to the top and in this fight is because he is not great at anything in the MMA world, but he is good at it all. I don’t think you can call yourself a prodigy when your record is o and two and you started MMA at the age of twenty five. Penn would love to prove me wrong, and he will if he can keep this fight standing. If might be tough but that is his only chance to win. Penn is a far better striker than De Santiuya and he will win with ease if it stays standing. I am going to pick Penn to win by TKO late in the first round.
Preliminary Bout Number 2- Featherweight Fight (145lbs)
Quagmire "Ohh" Yeah (1-1) {1-0} versus Graeme "Stank" Campbell (4-3) {0-2}
The first and last time we got to see Yeah in action he completely dominated the fight while throwing submission attempt after submission attempt at his opponent. He did eventually get the submission after trying almost thirty times. That tells us two things he is aggressive and persistent. Campbell is also a submission fighter and he currently a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He prefers fighting on the ground and his four wins all by submission state that. Now to go with those four wins he does have three losses and two of those came by submission. Since we know Campbell can be submitted I have to pick Yeah to win this fight by submission in the second round.
Preliminary Bout Number 3- Middleweight Fight (185lbs)
Corner "Alley Cat" Bum (2-3) {1-3} versus Gustavo Gracie (5-2) {2-0}
We have seen Bum compete on numerous occasions. He has yet to be impressive here in Honor Fighting Championships amassing a one and three record. Bum should struggle in this fight as well, since his main strengths are in wrestling. Bum should think about keep this fight standing if he wants to have a chance. Gracie lost his first two fights of his career and then hasn’t looked back. He is the winner of five straight improving his record to five and two. This nineteen year old Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belt has earned every one of his victories by submission so he will want to get this fight to the ground. Even if Bum doesn’t try to bring the fight to the ground I am sure it will end up there. Since I think the fight will end up on the ground I have to pick Gracie to win by submission in the first round.
Preliminary Bout Number 4- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)
Reginald Leslie (4-2) {2-1} versus Investitor "Cujo" Gradnje (5-1) {3-1}
Both of these guys are coming off their first HFC loss. They should both be hungry to get the ball rolling again in their favor. Leslie is a wrestler and a Muay Thai striker who loves to strike from the clinch. Once he gets his opponents into the clinch he tries to overwhelm them and I think that is exactly what he will try and do. Gradnje is a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and he has earned it with five submission victories. Gradnje will be looking to get the fight to the ground and he might have to pull guard to do it. If Gradnje can get the fight to the ground then it will be over quickly. I think Leslie will get his shots in especially in the clinch but Gradnje will get the fight to the ground and get a submission win. I think he will get the submission victory in the second round.
Preliminary Bout Number 5- Welterweight Fight (170lbs)
Alex "Almighty" Irwin (2-1) {1-1} versus Vedran Milosevic (2-1) {2-1}
Irwin will have a big advantage when it comes to striking so he should look to keep the fight standing. He is typically a ground and pound guy, but as we seen in his last fight he will have no trouble standing up and striking. He will want to try and stand up with Milosevic as he will have a big advantage. Milosevic is a blue and a great wrestler. Vedran is also a ground and pounder but he is also trained in submissions. He will look for the fight to get to the ground by any means necessary. I think Milosevic will win by submission in the second round but he could get knocked out before that.
Main Card Bout Number 1- Bantamweight Fight (135lbs)
Steve "Cobra" Cox (3-0) {3-0} versus Gabriel "DaBeast" Douglas (4-2) {3-1}
Cox is a wrestler who knows how to point grapple. He has won all three of his fights by decision as he was able to dominate the fight on the ground. Douglas is also a decision fighter but he likes to go about it differently. He will stand up and box with his opponents and he tries to rack up the points instead of knocking them out. Douglas took his only loss in HFC in his last match which was a title fight. This fight could go either way but if its on the ground I have Cox and if it stays up then Douglas. This has the potential to be the best fight on the card. It’s a tough call to try and pick the winner but I am going with Cox to win.
Main Card Bout Number 2- Featherweight Fight (145lbs)
Jonathan "The Cheetah" Mvungi (7-5) {0-1} versus Alexi "Angry divorce child" Kint (3-3) {0-0}
Jonathan is an amazing boxer and he is very heavy handed. He has a record of seven wins and five losses but in those seven wins all of them have been by TKO or knockout. Jonathan goes for the gold in all of his fights and that has lead him to five the five losses. None of Jonathan’s fights have ever reached the judges. I don’t think this one will be the first. Kint is three and three with four fights going the distance. In those four fights he is two and two so he will need to learn how to finish. I dpnt think Kint can finish Mvungi so I am picking Jonathan to win by TKO in the second round.
Main Card Bout Number 3- Welterweight Fight (170lbs)
"Mangeur de bine" Adelard Desormeaux (14-17) {0-0} versus Nathan "Elbow" Summers (23-16-1) {0-0-0}
Both of these guys are new to HFC but they have both been around for a while. Desormeaux has a fourteen and seventeen record and his wins are all over the place. He has yet to string more than two wins together and he has five wins by knockout four by submission and five by decision. He will want to take this fight to the ground and make Summer fight his kind of fight. Summer has ran into a major funk as he is just two and seven over his last nine. He is also riding a four fight losing streak with no end in sight. He could end the streak here but I think Desormeaux gets the fight to the ground and wins by decision.
Co Main Event Main Card Bout Number 4- Bantamweight Fight (135lbs)
Aj Smith (17-15-1) {0-1} versus "Scandinavian Nightmare" Rolad Kjeldsson (11-5) {0-1}
Smith lost his debut in HFC losing to Albert Anastasia in the first round by knockout. That ended his nine win streak and what had been the best part of his career. He is looking to get back on track with this fight but I don’t see how he could. Out of his seventeen wins he has fifth teen wins by submission. It is important that Smith does battle on the ground and that could be a real bad thing. Roland is a brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu just like Smith. With that being said Roland is a beter wrestler and striker as well. Roland who is currently on a three fight win streak is also a better striker than Smith so he will also have the advantage in the stand up. Since both of these guys are so skilled I think it will go to decision, and I got Roland Kjeldsson winning unanimously.
Main Event Main Card Bout Number 5- Light Heavyweight Title Fight (205lbs)
Diego Russell (9-4-1) {2-0-1} versus "The Viking" Agnar Gorm (7-2) {2-2}
Russell has been great since arriving at Honor Fighting Championship. He won the title after a rematch of a draw. Russell has used his wrestling to get the wins he needs and he will need to use it again. Russell will need to take this fight to the ground o have any chance of winning. Gorm is not known for being a striker but he is a lot better striker than Russell. Gorm usually prefers the ground game, but he has such an advantage in the standup I would keep the fight there as much as possible. It would appear that these two are equal on the ground and Gorm has the advantage in the standup so it would seem he had an advantage. Personally I think Russell will defend successfully and get the win by TKO in the second round.
