We saw yet another great night of mid week fights this past Wednesday here in HONOR FC. Several of these entertaining wars went the distance, and quite a few were finished in devastating fashion. All 2,200 fans in attendance had a great time and you could tell that the sell out crows had these guys hyped to step up and put on a show.
K The Rad (15-5) vs Takeshi Watanabe (10-10)
In our first fight K The Rad was able to dominate Watanabe on the feet as he landed an absurd 173 strikes to his opponents 3. The only positive thing I can say about Watanabe here is that this dude has the heart of a wild animal.
Prediction: N/A Result: K The Rad via UD
Derec "The Smile" Negreanu (5-4-1) vs Fabricio "Warewolf" Rodrigues (15-12)
The surging Negreanu ran into a freight train named Fabricio Rodrigues in this one. The youngster came out looking to establish a rhythm on the feet and even connected with some nice shots, unfortunately for him Rodrigues was not fazed and connected with a huge punch to finish this one early.
Prediction: Rodrigues (T)KO Round 1 Result: Rodrigues KO Round 1
"The Real O.G." Ragnar Lothbrok (5-1) vs Tim Tupy (3-5)
A victory via strikes was always on the cards for Lothbrok in this one. Tupy has a suspect chin but loves to stand and trade, Lothbrok is a KO machine and has crisp clean striking. Both men came out swinging and Lothbrok dropped his opponent a staggering three times in a 1:16 to finish this fight in brutal fashion.
Prediction: Lothbrok (T)KO Round 1 Result: Lothbrok TKO Round 1
Boris JorJovsky (14-9) vs Jonathan "The Cheetah" Mvungi (10-10)
I predicted JorJovsky to be able to avoid the early onslaught of Mvungi and grind out a late submission win. Instead Mvungi came on really strong and really fast and was able to stuff all six of his opponents take down attempts and drop him with a huge counter combo that sent his opponent to the mat and out of the fight.
Prediction: JorJovsky Sub Round 3 Result: Mvungi TKO Round 1
Gustavo Gracie (8-4) vs Donovan "Ronin" Robinson (9-5)
I thought that Robinson would have been able to keep the distance and use his striking and high level defensive grappling to cruise to a decision. In actuality Gracie landed a quick takedown in each round and was able to finish his opponent with a high level arm triangle in round 2
Prediction: Robinson UD Result: Gracie Sub Round 2
"MANCHESTER BLACK" Mikael Johansson (24-17) vs Roope Latvala (13-4)
This was a very close decision between two high level fighters, this had all of the makings of a stand up battle with a high strike rate. However the takedowns and top control of Latvala actually rescued him from a poor round one performance and delivered him a crucial win to move up the 205 ladder.
Sub Norris (24-15) vs Bruce "Mr.Jiu Jiu Jitsu" Gracie (22-15)
This was always set to be a close contest, Gracie was coming off of a crushing loss in his bid for a title, and Norris needed this one to move within title range himself. Norris was able to use his clinch game to tire his opponent early and use takedowns and superior top position to grind out a solid victory or the tough Bruce Gracie.
Prediction: Norris UD Result: Norris UD
