185 lbs Championship Fight: Wes Good vs Jutta Hanolla
The much loved Finnish fighter has the fans support going into this fight. Hanolla’s first title comes after a devastating first round knockout over Fionn McCool back in May. This also his first ever fight at 185 usually fighting 205. The cut shouldn’t be too taxing for the twenty three year old and may give him a favourable advantage on fight night. Jutta "Spike" Hanolla is a fantastic all-rounder who deserves to be a contender, it’s amazing he hasn’t been in this situation so far in his career. Usually replying too much on his boxing he does have the skills to fight everywhere else, but expect to see Hanolla keep this one standing up in the centre of the cage.
In his USFC debut Wes Good is coming off a two fight lose streak (his only losses). Sceptics may say USFC only has Good in the main event to ride on his popularity but the young Moroccan does deserve to be here. An impressive seven fight win streak all but one by KO won the fans over who would love to see him winning again. The fighter can fight everywhere which is what makes him an exciting match up for Hanolla. Expect Good to trade standing but maybe go in for the takedown where he may have a slight advantage. This is his weight class, he’s going to want to be king and send Hanolla packing back to 205. Will he do it?
205 lbs co main event: Der Debil vs Jack Daniels
Daniels (7-1) is on a five fight win streak with three of those fights being fight of the night. At 27 we still has some time left in him but needs to get a few big wins in quickly of any chance of being considered a contender. With fantastic muay thai skills and a perfect takedown record Daniels is going to aim to get that big fight win in Debil (8-10). With a not so shinny perfect record the Filipino fighter seems to be on a comeback with a submission win a month ago. Debil is a dangerous fight but he can’t stand in the pocket with Daniels and has to avoid the takedown. This could end up being a one sided fight.
155 lbs: Tony Sassano Jnr vs Lee Sin
With a new manager Sin (9-1) is going to want to keep that nine fight win streak alive. Since losing his first pro fight by submission Sin has been a dominating force with world class muay thai skills. USFC fans should watch this one closely as a dominate win could make Sin a contender. First he needs to get through Sassano (5-1), who is a decent all-rounder and tough competition for any fight style. On a two fight win streak Sassano needs a few more wins to be considered a contender but he’s well on this way. This is defiantly the most interesting fight on the lower card of USFC’s future.
205 lbs: Jared Nuke vs Wampage Johnson
USFC veteran Nuke (7-2-5) will surly bee the fan favourite going into this one. With strong boxing and wrestling skills he can bully his opponent into a finish often looking to lock in a submission. However the brit Johnson (7-4) may have all the answers to stop Nuke in his tracks. Also a strong boxer and great takedown ability on paper these two are matched. This has all the makings to be a war of a fight.
205 lbs: Svork Silva vs Mika Karalahti
Two Finnish with many USFC fight under their belt are finally squaring off. Silva (10-7) is coming off a loss while Karalahti (6-4) is coming off two loses. Both men need to get back to winning if they hope to hold on to the USFC fanbase. Karalahti can hold his own all over the cage but expect Silva to clinch and look for the takedown.
155 lbs: Bible Basher vs Vladimir Emelianenko
Emelianenko (4-0) is a powerful Russian boxer who always looks for the knock out. His opponent, Basher (4-3), can trade standing up but not to be out boxed he may need to rely on keeping Emelianenko in tight with the clinch. Basher usually has to rely on the judges for the win but we know he has the cardio to go the distance. Emelianenko hasn’t proven he can go the distance but such a powerful hook will he need to?
185 lbs: Hugmar Sidwell vs Eder Falcao
Sidwell (2-2) is USFC born an breed and although we may not have the perfect record I not a lot of USFC fans that want to see him pick up some wins. He’s worked hard to become a decent al round fighter although tying his opponent up against the cage seems to be his most effective strategy. Falcao (3-1) is coming off his first loss which was in front of the USFC crowd. The Brazilian doesn’t have the crowd on his side yet but if he can land another one of his devastating knockout punches over sidwell they’ll soon side with him.
205 lbs: Aldo Vurny vs Jake Wobinson
Coming off two decision losses in a row Vurny needs to get a win in. With a black belt in jiu jitsu and superb wrestling once Vurny gets this fight to the mat it’s his fight to win. Wobinson (6-6) is known to also take the fight to the mat but it’s hard to think the brown belt will be much of a match for Vurny. Vurny however has just terrible stand up which is where Wobinson needs to keep it.
170 lbs: Tobias Tattsyrup vs Andrei Zharkov
Tattsyrup (5-7) is on a terrible six fight losing streak. The English fight may have lost all support from the fans but he still seems to believe in himself with great wrestling ability he’s going to try and lay and pray the Russian Zharkov (6-4). We say that because Zharkov has proved he can be a decent wrestler, and with other skills in his arsenal you have to think it’s his to win.
205 lbs: Kostas Karelis vs Matthew Campion
The opening fight sees rookie Karelis (1-0) prove himself against Campion (2-5) a USFC veteran on a four fight losing streak. This match is Karelis to win if nervous don’t get the better of him. The Greek wrestler has a promising career if only he can come up with an answer to Campion’s muay thai.
