 Heavyweight Championship


(Champ) Vincent Mars vs. (5.) Valentin Nasimentu


DFC Heavyweight champion Vincent Mars steps in to the DFC cage for the 9th time in his career as he is defending his belt for the 4th time against Valentin Nasimentu. So far Mars has been nothing less than spectacular in his championship run. Mars is coming from beautiful first round KO of the night victory over Jack Hollow. Mars has interesting lil stat in his MMA career. He has only 8 MMA fights but already he has been involved in 3 rematches already so im sure that fresh face like Nasimentu gives nice lil boost to champs preparations. Mars is big favourite going to this fight, but we all know that when you put two heavyweights inside the cage only one punch can end the fight.


Valentin "Second After God" Nasimentu is fighting for the title first time in his career this saturday. Nasimentu is on 2-fight win streak and his latest was KO of the night win vs. Simon Miller. Brazilians has been on their toes this week, because Nasimentu has chance to become first ever brazilian DFC champion. Regardless of that I think Nasimentu can enter the cage without any pressures, he has nothing to lose but everything to gain. It's very hard to say how this fight gonna play out but dont expect to see the judges scorecards after the fight because decisions are something these two have never experienced.


 


Welterweight Championship


(Champ) Dav Rolling vs. (2.) Noob Saibot


DFC welterweight champion Dav Rolling is heading towards his first title defence this saturday. Rolling finished former champion John Dux in his last fight when Dux was forced to tap out in 4th round via strikes. Dux ate big shot to the head, winced in pain and tapped out. Rolling gets to share his locker room with his team mate Vincent Mars so even tho this is Rolling's first defence he has lot of experienced guys around him. Rolling is facing very tough DFC new comer Noob Saibot so the champion is actually underdog going to this fight.


Noob Saibot signed with DFC a while back and it was pretty obvious that this guy will get immediate title shot. Saibot has won belt in two organization before coming over to DFC. First he claimed welterweight title in DSC, but after losing the belt in his first defence he moved to Evil Empire: Rio and claimed the welterweight title in his debut. After that bout Evil Empire: Rio went down so Saibot kept his belt and became a free agent. Once again Saibot is getting immediate title shot after signing to organization, so that alone should tell how much hype he has behind him. Saibot is pretty hairy man, he has pretty unique style in his facial hair so if u keep that in mind you'll know when Noob Saibot is inside the cage.


 


Middleweight


(3.) Odin Tualasamony vs. (7.) Ryan Biles


Former two time title challenger Odin "Dom" Tualasamony is searching for his 2nd W in row in Destiny 52. Tualasamony is coming from 2nd round head kick KO against Kazumi Okamura. Tualasamony is currently ranked 3rd, so winning the fight vs. Biles would take him close to a title shot. Tualasamony has actually faced the current champion Max Casacci before and "Dom" was able to TKO him in 1st round. In this fight vs. Biles i'm sure Tualasamony wants to keep this fight on the feet at all cost, because Biles is a real submission monster. Tualasamony shouldn't test his white belt BJJ skills against BJJ brown belt.


Ryan "Brother" Biles is making his debut in DFC this saturday and right away he got matched with 3rd ranked guy on roster. Biles is experienced 27 year old veteran with 16 fight under his belt. Biles has pretty common lifestory as he was a B-minus high school student who worked at Walmart part-time, enjoyed the occasional party, and had a hard time getting chicks. Then, he discovered MMA. By now Biles has probably solved his chick problem so maybe he has all the eggs in MMA basket, but breaking the egg named Odin Tualasamony would be huge to his career.
