Although there won’t be any championship title fight, there are some fighters who ever challenged and held the belts so you know their quality and they will use this event as their bridge hold the title. And we have 2 fighters who will fight for 1st time and prove to the world that they have Martial Art blood in their vein.

 

Main Event: 265+ lbs fight

Magnus “Bear” Cross (15-8-0)  vs Clinton “Baked Fish” Offley (14-3-0)

 

Both fighters come from Island. This will be the 3rd of their fights. They had beaten each other before when were om Island, maybe this fight won’t be their last. Cross won all his fight by (T)KOs on foot and ground (4 KO of the night awards) while Offley 12 with submissions (3 sub of the night awards).

Offley had 5 winning streaks before he lost against Gunnar McGregor when they fought for world heavyweight championship on 10-29-2014.  Then he made comeback by winning 4 matches. On 1-15-2015 he challenged Barney Gumble for heavyweight champion but lost by TKO on 1st round. After lost against Cross, he defeated 2 former heavyweight champions, San Terra and Dick Wad.

Cross career wasn’t as bright as Offley. He was stopped in the semifinal of The Island Season 3 by Pedro Lazaro. He never challenged any champion on his journey and he only defeated San Tera who was former super heavyweight champion.

This fight will decide who is the best between them but I don’t think rivalry will stop after this. It’s hard for me to predict who will win, but if Cross can prevent any takedowns, he will.

 

 

 

Co Main Event: 265+ lbs fight

Dick Wad (11-4-0) vs Mike Jursllla (3-0-0)

 

Dick Wad was the 1st World Combat Championship’s heavyweight champion. He won the title against Mike Tyson on 1st round by KO when they fought for vacant heavyweight championship of  the world. And he retained his title 3 times against Rape Alarm, Gunnar McGregor, and San Terra before lost to Barney Gumble. He hadn’t challenged for the title again after lost the belt.

Mike Jursllla is a serious contender for title championship. He stopped Floyd Patterson 4 winning streaks in Wednesday Night Fights 1. He is still 19 years old and has long journey.

Most of Wad’s victory came by ground strikes and he thinks he can make Jursllla like a meat ball like he did before because he has advantage on wrestling. Meanwhile Jursllla has confidence and wants to prove that he can defeat an experienced brawler wrestler and continue his winning streak. I think Jursllla must use proper tactics to win.

 

 

 

3rd: 135+ lbs fight

Bobby Bob Bob (12-6-0) vs Thaddeus “Junior” Fitzgerald (9-6-0)

 

They had met twice before. Bob Bob won the 1st by TKO, while Fitzgerald won the 2nd by decision when they were trying to fight for the vacant bantamweight championship. Will they fight like their last one? Or they will use different tactics? Fitzgerald had proved that he could win without wrestling. That’s a point to be considered.

 

 

 

4th: 185+ lbs fight

Billy Tinkl (13-7-0) vs Dark Terror (5-3-0)

 

Tinkl won all his fight by submission which means he is very good as BJJ fighter. While Terror has 4 strikes and 1 punch. I think Tinkl will fight on ground. Terror must be careful if choosing stand up because Tinkl has powerful takedowns.

 

 

 

5th: 170+ lbs fight

Luigi "The Green Plumber" Bates (1-0-0) vs Daniel "The Stylish Assassin" Mosby (6-2-0)

 

A little bit hard to predict their tactics. But I think  if  Bates choose stand up fight and use Muay Thai, he must be careful because  Mosby will try to takedown and finish his opponent as fast as he can.

 

 

 

6th: 185+ lbs fight

Marcus "Voodoo" Child (2-0-0) vs Tim Wright (1-0-0)

 

I think Wrigt prefer to fight on ground to win while Child will choose to keep stand up fight and use Muay Thai  because he has huge advantage on this skill while Wright has only a step ahead on other 3. It’s hard for Wright to choose proper tactics to win but his hidden skill will determine the result.

 

 

 

7th: 155+ lbs fight

Grant "The Sensational" Knight (3-3-0) vs Where Yo Girl (3-1-0)

 

I think Knight will try to take Girl down when he has the opportunity but he must be careful when doing ground fight because Girl has advantage on BJJ. Girl will do more boxing, but will take Knight down too and will strike if succeed. A hard one to predict the winner.

 

 

 

8th: 205+ lbs fight

Charlie "STRAIGHT EDGE" Simpson (3-0-0) vs "Keeper of the Seven Keys" Steven Ramsay (0-0-0)

 

1st fight for Ramsay and he must stop Simpson’s winning streak. Seemed to me that Ramsay will fight in clinches because this is only his advantage. And  I don’t think Simpson will try to take Ramsay down and submit him like he did before but he will do it to release some strike because Ramsay is better BJJ. A close match but I think Simpson will continue.

 

 

 

9th: 185+ lbs fight

Datu "Suka" Puti (1-0-0) vs Obi Wan Kenobi (4-0-0)

 

If Puti choose to fight on feet then Kenobi will reply because he has hidden skill that will be very useful. Don’t forget, a wrestler Jedi can affect weak mind to make 3 stand up wins.

 

 

 

10th: 155+ lbs fight

Erick "Tornado" Clap (0-1-0)vs Reggie "The Constant" Wayne (0-0-0)

 

1st fight for Wayne. A hard match to predict because I think their advantages won’t do much. Proper tactics from the managers will determine the winner.
