  Alright guys this will be short and sweet. I started working as a line cook at an Irish restaurant and they worked me to death in the last few days. I need to get a lot of write ups done so they will be short. Sorry guys for the inconvenience. 







Preliminary Bout Number 1- Bantamweight Bout (135lbs)







Rusaka "Baraka" Gono (3-0) {1-0} versus Austin "Hollywood" Worner (18-20) {2-4}







Gono is looking to keep his undefeated streak alive in this one. He will not be able to fall back on knowledge in this one since he is taking on a man who is approaching forty fights. Gono will look to take advantage in the wrestling department but his Jiu Jitsu is not up to par yet. Worner has lost three straight and he is heading towards the twilight of his career sub five hundred. Worner will need to keep this fight standing if he wants a chance to have his hand raised but I think this thirty year old might be physically outmatched. 







Prediction: Gono wins by submission in the second round. 







Preliminary Bout Number 2- Featherweight Fight (145lbs)







Bolius "One round fighter" Kalabokas (4-4) {2-2} versus Bruce Shashia (5-4) {3-3} 







Kalabokas won two fights then lost two fights, so it would appear it might be time for him to win again. It seems that Kalbokas wins or losses in the first round by TKO so look for some heavy hitting in this one. Shashia is three and three and three in the HFC and if he wants to get to four wins he will need to prove that he has a great chin. I don’t think Bruce will be able to get this fight to the ground so some powerful counter punches should be his go to move in this one.







Prediction: Kalabokas wins by TKO in the first round







Preliminary Bout Number 3- Bantamweight Fight (135lbs)







Coors "Silver Bullet" Light (3-4-1) {2-4-1} versus Sun "Kakarot" Wukong (6-3) {4-2}







Light has looked good as of late but it will be impossible to forget about the start he had to his Honor career. Even though he has won two of his last three I can’t feel confident he will win any fight that he is a part of. Wukong is six and three and he has fallen on tough times as of late. He has dropped two of his last three but this should be a great matchup to get back on track. Wukong’s strength comes from his wrestling which is the same as Lights, but Wukong is the far better wrestler.







Prediction Wukong wins by TKO in the second round







Preliminary Bout Number 4- Welterweight Fight (170lbs)







"Cold Storm" Markus Vinicius (12-14) {1-2} versus "GroundnPound" Kevin Coonaments (4-7) {1-5}







Well Could Storm has not had the best of luck since coming to Honor but his luck has been better than his opponents. Winning this fight should not jump Vinicius in the rankings but it should help stop the ship from sinking. Coonaments shocked the world when he picked up his first and only win in Honor back in February. Since then he has lost two fights which has dropped his HFC record to one and five. If anyone needs a win it Kevin Coonaments. 







Prediction: Vinicius wins by TKO in third round







Preliminary Bout Number 5- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)







"Wrecked" Stew Sauced (5-2) {3-1} versus Tim Tupy (2-2) {2-2} 







You all know the love I have for Stew Sauced. I was a little disappointed in his loss against Riverboat but he was out matched a bit which doesn’t happen much to this twenty year old feared striker. Sauced is a real up an comer to the light heavyweight division and I am sure we will be seeing his name for years to come. Tupy won his last fight, which was an incorrect prediction on my part. That brought his record up to two and two and he will look to improve on that in this one. His best chance to win this fight will be on the ground, and the two head kick knockout losses he has backs that up a little bit. He is not as strong of a wrestler as Sauced but I am sure Stew will be coming in with a stand and bang game plan.







Prediction: Sauced wins by TKO in the second round







Main Card Bout Number 1- Welterweight Fight (170lbs)







"Mangeur de bine" Adelard Desormeaux (16-18) {2-1} versus Oberyn "Steel" Martell (13-6) {2-1}







Both of these fighters are trying to climb the welterweight ladder here in HFC. One of these guys will get their third win and be looking at a possible title fight in the future. Desormeaux has had a lot more fights in his career but he has also had a lot more losses. He will look to get closer to a five hundred record in this one. Martell is twenty eight years old and he is about to have his twentieth fight. He is thirteen and six but only four and two in his last six. It would seem that Martell is the much more skilled fighter, but Adelard’s experience could come into play.







Prediction: Martell wins by TKO in the second round







Main Card Bout Number 2- Lightweight Fight (155lbs)







Damien Lok (11-6) {0-0} versus Brandon "Badboy" Marsden (15-11-1) {0-0}







Both of these fighters are making their Honor debuts in this light heavyweight showdown. You always want to win that first fight so you can show the world what you are made of. Well only one of these guys are going to be able to do that. Lok has an eleven and six record and he is coming off a loss. To win any fight Lok needs to be on point with his striking defense because it would appear he does not have the best chin. Marsden has not been doing well lately going two three and one in his last six. Even with that being said he could still have the advantage in this one because of Lok’s chin. Brandon should look to strike early and if he can’t get the job done he then sgould look for a takedown to work in some ground and pound. 







Main Card Bout Number 3- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)







Arshnoor "THE BRUTALIZER" Singh (8-2) {3-1} versus Khru "Big Buddah" Maokhamphiou (7-2-1) {3-2-1}







Singh has been hot of late winning his last three fights. Two of those fights where here in Honor but he did go back to Death Squad for one fight. Now back into the HFC ranks Singh will look to climb higher than ever. Khru was the winner of three straight fights before he stepped up to take on Thomas Boothe in a losing effort. Khru will look to be much more impressive in the stand up during this fight though Singh has the better stand up.







Prediction Arshnoor Singh wins by TKO in the second round







Co Main Event Main Card Bout Number 4- Featherweight Fight







Bruce "Mr.Jiu jitsu" Gracie (20-14) {0-0} versus DeMario "McDojo Blackbelt" Williams (9-3) {4-1}







Gracie will be making his debut in Honor and he is bringing a twenty and fourteen record with him. Almost all of his wins have come by submission as this black belt loves to show off his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills whenever he can. Williams will be looking to show Gracie how it’s done in the HFC. He is the former Featherweight Champion and with some improvements he could get that title back in the future. Williams will ground and pound just about anyone and that includes BJJ black belts.







Prediction: Williams wins by decision after three rounds







Main Event Main Card Bout Number 5- Lightweight Fight (155lbs) 







"THE MAGIC MAN" Mustafa Al Turk (31-11-2) (0-0) versus "Flash" Gordon Lefleaur (30-11) {0-0}







Both of these guys are making their debut to Honor and they are both looking to do some serious damage to the light heavyweights. Al Turk has been on a losing streak as of late winning only one of his last five fights. Now he comes to do battle in Honor where he can turn around his career. Lefleaur is also coming off a loss but it was his only loss in his last five. He will look to stay on the right track in this one and start heading towards a title shot. With the addition of these two to the Lightweight division it is making it one of the strongest and most competitive divisions here. This fight should be a classic and it is tough to predict how it’s going to go. 







Prediction: Lefleaur wins by decision after three rounds.
