 HONOR FC 39 Undisputed

Preview   01.11.2014 Las Vegas Sparta's Palace (7,000) MMA   The Good Guys' Undercard #1 Lightweight Bout   Maxwell Keiser v John Watson Two great fighters coming into cage: 29 years old 'Max' Maxwell Keiser coming out of New Rochelle, USA, and 1 year older John Watson derived from Canadian Toronto. MMA experts see Keiser as better fighter in every fighting area, but fight record of Watson doesn't allow anyone to point favorite in this fight. But Keiser may make use of Watson's lower form- Canadian fighter lost 3 fights during his whole professional career, and 2 of them were in his last 3 fights...   The Good Guys' Undercard #2 Welterweight Bout   Dack Fayden v Rami Sebei Let's prepare for incoming grappling feast: 28 years old experienced Dack Fayden, coming from Worcester, USA, will face 25 years old rising star from Tijuana, Mexico- Rami 'El Generico' Sebei. Dack Fayden can be definitely considered as ultimate test for Mexican 'El Generico'. He was already succesfully fought with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt owners, but none of them seemed to be as high ranked martial artist as American grappler is. Not only lethal on the ground, but unlucky for Sebei, the only fighter, who can be serious threat in other fighting areas, is Fayden. Especially that he has not only proven that he can KO his opponents, but has in his arsenal a wide range of takedowns from every possible position. So to make it short- Fayden is favorite and any other result would be great step in 'El Generico's' career.    The Good Guys' Undercard #3 Welterweight Bout   Unai Arana v Anthony Hopkins 28 years old Spanish 'El Martillo' Unai Arana, derived from Balmaseda, Spain, will step into the cage to face 33 years old Welsh Anthony 'Hannibal' Hopkins from Wales, but who fights under British flag. Hopkins once more will try once after once to take his opponent down, where he can show us some solid grappling and ground and pound, but i'm not sure is it enough for level those fighters are fighting at. On the opposite side 'El Martillo' is definitely much more popular fighter thanks to his open aggressive fighting style- he is universal striker, who additionally can gain some advantage in clinch. And that's where a lot of time fighters can spend, as it's also area, where Hopkins feels very comfortable. Accoriding to all of mentioned informations, it seems that the winner will be fighter, who would be able to impose his gameplan to his opponent tonight.   The Good Guys' Undercard #4 Welterweight Bout   Stanly Williams v Frank Esposito  29 years old American fighter derived from South Central LA, will step into the cage against 39 years old veteran from Taylor St, USA- 'Gypsy' Frank Esposito. 'Gypsy' Esposito may be fighter, who has more skills in every fighting aspect, but we may have some concerns about his best days, which seem to be already gone. For last 3-4 years his performance is very unstable, so it may be little lottery tonight. And on opposite side, Stanly Williams is very respected fighter, additionally who is back after hard times. If You would look for mathematical rules in Esposito's last fight record, it seems that he will have hard night, but it's much wiser to just wait and see what will happen.   The Good Guys' Undercard #5 Featherweight Bout   Enrico Ciccone v Murat Orgun  Featherweight division stepiing in: 28 years old Canadian fighter from Flin Flon- Enrico Ciccone, and 41 years old MMA veteran derived from Samsun, Turkey- 'Muharebe Tanki' Murat Orgun. Canadian fighter is outstanding grappler and this is what we should expect from him in tonight's fight. His black BJJ belt may make the difference, backed up by brutal ground and pound, which Ciccone definitely has in his arsenal. Stand up fight would definitely be on experienced Orgun's side, who additionally can show something interesting on the ground. But will it be enough to beat Enrico Ciccone? I think that tonight, Canadian fighter may show veteran, that he should make place for younger fighters on this level.   HONOR Bookmakers' Main Card #1 Welterweight Bout   Gully God v Adelard Desormeaux  Two experienced fighters will step into the cage: great 32 years old Danish Gully God from Copenhagen, and popular, 34 years old 'Mangeur de bine' Adelard Desormeaux from Riviere de loup, Canada. God is fighter, who should definitely once more show us solid, aggressive striking, while Desormeaux is the one, who prefers to play it more tactical and hunt his opponent down with takedown, and then on the ground once more play it calm and deadly. It's hard to predict this fight, as Canadian 'Mangeur de bine' seems to have some advantage on the ground, but before fight will land there, Danish God is fighter, who can definitely apply some heavy shots to his opponent.   HONOR Bookmakers' Main Card #2 Lightweight Bout   Riley Cooper v Snake Shadow Very equal and interesting fight is coming next. 31 years old American fighter from Philadelphia- Riley Cooper, will face 31 years older Snake 'In The Eagle's' Shadow, derived from British capital city of London. This will be rematch after their last not too entertaining and not too long fight. Last time Riley Cooper won surprisingly easy, by guillotine in the middle of very first round. Once more Cooper should be pointed as favorite, but this time, after good lesson, Shadow will be much more focused and aware of his opponent's definitely unaverage skills.   HONOR Bookmakers' Main Card #3 Light Heavyweight Bout   Phukyorselvf Uzannavabizch v Fred Palowakski  35 years old German fighter coming out of Boxyurfazen- 'Go' Phukyorselvf Uzannavabizch, will face in next tonight's fight 30 years old Fred Palowakski derived from Angola. Both fighters are well known of their great and all-rounded skills, but experts agree that Palowakski should transcend here. He is stepping into this fight after unsuccesful clash with Mayo Kermode, and will definitely do all he can to make everybody forget about that one. Uzannavabizch of course has what is needed to be on this level, it's not an accident that he is so high in rankings, but long and hard night is awaiting him.   Just Fight's Co-Main Event Lightweight Bout Victor Zsasz v Vinnie Jones 31 years old Albaniam warrior from Hell- Victor 'The Death Rider', will step into the cage to fight last unsuccesful lightweight championship pretender, 29 years old Vinnie 'Danger Zone' derived from Toronto, Canada. It will be tough night for 'Danger Zone', as there are not many fighters who aren't dangerous for him in stand up fight, but his rankings position says a lot about how succesful fighter in spite of all he is. Black Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu belt isn't only used to hang his pants though. Despite this, the main favorite in tonight's fight is Albanian 'Death Rider', who can not only absolutely dominate striking, but also probably has skills, which will let him stay relatively calm on the ground.   Just Fight's Main Event Featherweight Championship   Roy Pitbull v Akira Toriyama Featherweight Championship bout on the way! 35 years old Champion- Roy 'The Wardog' Pitbull from London, but fighting under Welsh flag, will be defending his Championship Belt against 30 years old Akira Toriyama from Japanese Kiyosu. Toriyama will be Championship conntender for the first time during his Honor FC career, and will be stepping into the cage after 5 straight wins, all won before time by referee's stoppage. Current Championship belt holder- 'The Wardog', won 9 of his last 10 fights in Federation, showing that he is one of best ultimate fighters around the world. It may be tough one for him, but he is main favorite of tonight's bout, what of course doesn't mean Toriyama is without chances- both fighters are top class mixed martial artists, what would hopefully give us great show tonight.   Brought to You by Honor Fighting Championship   In partnership with Petro Sohitto
