Preview
 
USFC 53 features young talents trying to make a name for themselves. The main event features the man who is seen to get a title shot soon, Mr. Universe going up against Chulainn. We also got some interesting youngsters trying to garner some wins as well as fighters who are trying to get back up on their feet. Be sure to get a ticket soon!
 
PRELIMINARY MATCHES


Lightweight bout
Jamal "Anybody, Anywhere" Mohammed (6-22-0) vs Paddy "Pride Of Dublin" McIrish (3-7-0)
Mohammed's been losing a lot early in his career. This might as well be an easy victory for McIrish if things go normal
 
Heavyweight bout
Arse Face (0-7-0) vs Gregory "Fists of Thunder" Campion (4-5-0)
Two fighters in their late 20s trying to put up a good fight. Face has yet to bag a win in MMA but we can't count him out as they are closely matched.
 
Light Heavyweight bout
Nissay Ramuo  (2-3-1) vs Kaye Wong (1-2-0)
We've got two great young fighters in this one with their versatility in MMA. Expect both fighters to try their best as they both need to get out of their losing streaks. 
 
Lightweight bout
Laverne "Lava" Reynolds (3-4-0) vs Victor Stoic (5-7-0)
You can't really tell who will dominate based on their skills but with Stoic's morale, we can say Reynolds got this one. Unless Stoic find's a way to get his confidence back up, we won't have a good match.
 
Middleweight bout
"Carnage" Cletus Kasady (1-9-0) vs Bosco "The Snake" O Neill (4-3-1)
Kasady seems to be a versatile fighter but he doesn't seem to find a way to get wins off his opponents. O Neill on the other hand has got some power and he's got a great advantage in this fight. Let's see if he capitalizes on that.
 
MAIN CARD

 


Welterweight bout


Oliver "The Arrow" Queen (4-1-1) vs Andre Haack (3-0-0)
We 've got two welterweights in the middle of the pack and a win in this one might boost their chances of going up. Haack seems to have an advantage over Queen but you can't say Haack got this one. Queen went all the way against a superior fighter when he got a draw against Romulus Veres in INY 44. Haack hasn't gone to 5 rounds yet so let's see how he plays Queen's granite chin.
 
Light Heavyweight bout


Jack McGuinness (2-2-0) vs Marius "The Terminator" Budawalski (5-2-0)
Both fighters are closely matched as they both have an advantage in their arsenals. McGuiness' two defeats have gone by submission and Budawalski has some submission skills winning thrice with taps. In a standup battle McGuiness has a slight advantage and on the ground it's wrestling vs BJJ. Who knows what will happen.
 
Light Heavyweight bout


Brutus Kowalski (2-1-0) vs Xavier David (3-0-0)
These two light heavyweights at the age of 22 have gained a lot of skills already. Both have developed skills enough to go on a competitive level. Both fighters are near equal statistically and basing on their previous matches, they both have power. Kowalski got submitted once but who knows if he trained his way out of that one. David, on the other hand proves to be a finisher so we might expect a finish either way. 
 
Middleweight bout


Sergiu "Hades" Petrescu (4-1-0) vs Alasdair "One Desperate Mother" Thacker (6-3-0)
With Hanolla and Good fighting for the vacant Middleweight championship, these two fighters are looking to move their way up to get a shot on that soon. Petrescu's got the advantage in MT but both fighters have KO abilities. Thacker's got a 3 fight win streak and this might boost him up a little. I would expect a TKO in the ground going either way in this one. However, it's too early to conclude anything at this point so let's leave it up to these fighters. 
 
Middleweight bout


Cu Chulainn (5-3-0) vs Mr Universe (11-1-0)
Another fight for a shot at the middleweight title in this one. Chulainn and Universe look to strike their way to the top of the pack. Mr Universe surely got some KO power natural within him as he's now got 11 wins on 11 TKOs given that he's not a fully polished fighter. With that said, we cannot use Chulainn's superiority as a sure call. However, if I were to predict this one, Chulainn's got great chances. With the right strategy, this could go easily go his way. Better watch out for takedowns because Universe sure is deadly in the ground.  It would be ideal for Chulainn to stick to boxing but if things go to the ground, it's gonna be wrestler vs wrestler. Things to mark would be Chulainn's 1 TKO loss (good for Universe's KO power) and Universe's 1 Submission loss (good for Chulainn's purple belt)
 
What are you waiting for? You don't wanna miss this one.
