Diamond Andy (3-0) Vs Barney Gumble (2-0) – Heavyweight
This is a very interesting matchup between two absolute knockout specialists.
Diamond Andy is currently at 3-0, and is renowned for his vicious body shots. Andy likes to close the distance and work his opponent over to the mid-section before switching up top and taking them out.
Barney Gumble’s striking comes from a different range. Both of Gumble’s finishes have come by way of stoppage within the clinch. Gumble has a thai clinch which is very hard to avoid, and once he gets a hold of you it’s his dirty boxing to both the head and body which puts you down.
Jake Theodorou (2-0) Vs Jaymz Hetfield (2-0) – Light Heavyweight
Out co-main event is contested between a pair of 205ers who are perfect in their professional careers.
The Canadian native, Jake Theodorou has a very difficult style to content with. This wrestling expert’s full intent is to take his opponent down and pound them into submission. If you’re thinking you can fight off your back, think again, Theodorou also has a BJJ Purple Belt to his name.
Hetfield is an all-rounder who is hard to control in any area. Coming out of San Fran, Hetfield uses his boxing and wrestling to dictate where the fight goes, and unless you are a true specialist, you will not be able to handle Hetfield inside the cage.
Jason Newstead (1-0) Vs Eddie Kilpatrick (1-2) – Heavyweight
Jason Newstead is the second Californian on the card tonight, and comes in with an even 1-1 record. Newstead’s entrance into MMA was me with unavoidable obstacles. When facing off against Andrei Alexeyev, Jason suffered a bad cut which resulted in the fight being called to a halt. This could hinder the 25 year old boxer’s career in the future, but a KO in his last fight proves he’s not being discouraged.
Eddie Kilpatrick fights under his relative Kane Kilpatrick’s stable, alongside his Soul Supremacy signed kin Adam Kilpatrick. Eddie’s entire strategy is to take the fight to the mat and beat his opponent up. If the submission comes, he’ll take it, but the primary goal is to get the fight to the mat at all costs.
JB Hendricks (1-0) Vs Danny Jonas (0-0) – Light Heavyweight
JB Hendricks’ nickname is “Big KO”, and his 42 second destruction of Charles Shiverton completely validated his decision of alias. The former US army sniper comes into the cage with a very confident strategy, using his proficient wrestling skills to hold off enemy attacks and sling leather.
Danny Jonas is a 25 year old Bohamaian, making his professional mixed martial arts debut when he enters the cage on September 29th. What we know about Jonas is that he comes out of Mma Jimmy’s camp which holds a highly impressive win/loss ratio. Jonas believes he has the muay thai to not only hold Hendricks back, but take him out completely.
Rashid Kurmally (0-0-1) Vs Chiyono Fuji (0-0) – Heavyweight
Our next heavyweight affair pits two Asian nations against each other; India Vs Japan.
Rashid Kurmally can do it all. He is happy to keep it on the feet and throw some strikes before countering his opponent’s strikes with takedowns and clinches. On the ground, he will look for submissions and positions, but all in all Kurmally is happy to keep them there and control the fight.
Fuji is brand new to mixed martial arts, but under the tutelage of his mentor Ken Takahashi, this sprawl and brawl styled fighter is sure to have a bright future. Takahashi’s stable currently holds two champions, one for Banishment and one for Umbrella Corp. Takahashi knows what it takes to bring a fighter to the top, and with Chiyono Fuji, he plans to do just that.
