Preliminary Bout Number 1- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)
Derec "The Dirty" Waller (2-0) {1-0} versus Ayrton "BigFoot" Silva (1-2) {1-2}
Waller is two and o after winning his HFC debut. In his follow up fight he will take on a man is on a two fight losing streak. Waller should have the psychological advantage because of that he should use it. Silva does have some advantage in this one though, as Waller is a wrestler who loves to ground and pound and Silva beat Stromberg who has the same style. As a matter of fact that was Silva’s only win so he should be watching that fight over and over again to prepare for this one.
Prediction: Silva wins by submission in round number 1
Preliminary Bout Number 2- Middleweight Fight (185lbs)
"The Wasp" Wayde West (5-2) {5-2} versus Dario "The Killer" Silva (4-4) {3-4}
It is surprising that these two have each had seven fights in Honor and this is the first time they have met. West is a former champion and Silva competed for the title once so these are good fighters. West is only nineteen and he is a stand out striker who has also greatly improved his wrestling. Silva is twenty six years old and has a similar skill set to West. That means the sky is higher for West but at the moment Silva might be a little better.
Prediction: West wins by TKO in round number 3
Preliminary Bout Number 3- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)
Derec "The Smile" Negreanu (3-2-1) {3-2-0} versus "Dangerous" Phillip Finnegan (4-3) {4-2}
Negreanu is riding high as he is on a three fight winning streak and all three of those wins have been first round TKO’s. He will not have the striking advantage in this fight though so he might want to rely on his wrestling for this bout. Finnegan is coming off a loss after his four fight winning streak was snapped. Across that four fight winning streak Phillip defeated some good competition so he would love the chance to beat another good fighter and end Derec’s streak.
Prediction: Nereanu wins by TKO in round number 1
Preliminary Bout Number 4- Middleweight Fight (185lbs)
Donovan "Ronin" Robertson (7-2) {4-2} versus Josh "The Chris Bosh" Laston (6-3) {3-1}
The former champion Donovan Robertson is looking to get back into the swing of things in this fight. He should have a great chance of winning since his only two losses came directly after winning the title both times. Laston has been a beast since coming to HFC and he has beaten some good fighters. He will look to take a big jump in the ranking when he takes on the former champion in Donovan Robertson. Laston needs to avoid long periods on the ground and he should be able to easily win this fight.
Prediction: Laston wins by decision after round number 3
Preliminary Bout Number 5- Featherweight Title Fight (145lbs)
Marcus Chandler (8-3) {2-0} versus "Muharebe Tankı" Murat Orgun (20-14) {1-2}
Chandler picked up the title win in only his second fight here in the HFC. I assume this will be a very short title reign since the middle of the division has been clogging up the title picture as of late. One of the top guys will get this belt strapped around them soon. Orgun could be the guy who transitions the title to the upper tier but to do that he will need to bring a rock solid game plan. This fight should be a long one and whoever has the better game plan will be the champion.
Prediction: Orgun wins by decision after round number 5
Main Card Bout Number 1- Welterweight Fight (170lbs)
"El Martillo" Unai Arana (9-5) {0-0} versus Taylor "woob woob woob" Clark (28-17-1) {3-2}
The twenty six year old Arana is nine and five but don’t let his record fool you. He has fought some very tough opponents. He packs a lot of training and knowledge which makes him a danger to anyone he faces. Clark is very experienced with forty six fights under his belt. He has a lot more experience than Arana but all those fights leaves holes in your training regiment.
Prediction: Arana wins by decision after round number 3
Main Card Bout Number 2- Middleweight Fight (185lbs)
"Wing Chun" Ip Man (6-2) {0-0} versus "The Muharib" Mohamed al Hadj (22-14) {1-1}
Ip Man has been very impressive of late as he is currently riding a four fight win streak. The former MadDogs champion has decided to take his talents to Vegas and give Honor a shot. He will look to put up a few quick wins so he can try and get title around his waist again soon. Al Hadj is approaching the forty fight mark and he has a record of one and one in HFC. He will look to get back on track in the win column as he welcoms Ip Man to HFC.
Prediction: Ip man wins by TKO in round number 2
Main Card Bout Number 3- Bantamweight Fight (135lbs)
Eduardo "Kuekuatsu" Alvarez (9-2) {0-0} versus "Nobushi" Mitsuyo Maeda (28-21) {3-1}
Alvarez is a part of the new blood that is being showcased tonight. This will be his first fight in HFC and he is taking on his toughest challenge yet. Alvarez will need to be smart in this fight and only strike when he has to, but on the ground he will need to worry about Maeda looking for a sweep or submission. Maeda has not had a brilliant career but he has made a home here in Honor. He won his first three fights after signing his contract, but he lost his last fight by decision. He doesn’t have that killer instinct you want in a fighter and that is what has held him back his entire career.
Prediction: Alvarez wins by decision after round number 3
Co Main Event Main Card Bout Number 4- Middleweight Fight (185lbs)
Bilbo "The Brazilian Butcher" Baggins (13-3) {0-0} versus "The Bay Harbour Butcher" Dexter Morgan (12-17) {2-2}
Here is one more fighter making their debut to Honor Fighting Championship in Baggins. He is bringing in an impressive thirteen and three record and he looks to make a big splash in the middleweight division here in Honor. Morgan was on a two fight winning streak in the HFC but recently he has dropped his last two fights. This might mark a third consecutive loss for him as it would seem he is outmatched everywhere in this fight.
Prediction: Baggins wins by submission in round number 2
Main Event Main Card Bout Number 5- Featherweight Fight (145lbs)
Roy "The Wardog" Pitbull (24-12-1) {4-0} versus Wilson Crodonilson (27-7) {0-0}
Pitbull has dominated the best fighters at featherweight here in Honor and he will look to keep on his winning ways. I am sure Roy will get his chance at the title in the near future as his record dictates he gets a shot very soon. Wilson Cordonilson is twenty seven and seven and he will also be making his debut in HFC. He will have his hands full with The Wardog in this bout though. His only chance of pulling off the upset win would be to catch Pitbull with a lucky one right on the button but Pitbull has never been finished.
Prediction: Pitbull wins by TKO in round number 2
