 StrikeForce Union #1 Bryant vs Lucas
01/16/16 Paddy O’Malleys Bar in London
This is the first event in this Organisation and what a brilliant card we have for you.
Orjan Ank vs Rico Cole
In the first fight on the card is a battle between 19 year old Norwegian Wrestler Orjan Ank facing off against 18 year old Portuguese Muay Thai specialist Rico Cole. Orjan will want to earn a second win in a row after beating Nathan DiCaprio by a Kamura submission in the first round in a QFC while Rico Cole hasn’t competed at a professional level yet but his skills in Muay Thai make him a hot prospect and training in T-Troid gym he should soon have the credentials to be a top fighter.
Orjan Ank has not got the best skills in Boxing and Muay Thai but his Wrestling is great and he has a Blue Belt, some training in the right areas could become crucial in this fighters future and be decisive in his future success. Rico Cole meanwhile has just as bad skills in boxing but his Muay Thai is exceptional, His Wrestling is in need of much work and he only has a White Belt in BJJ so he will be looking to keep the fight at a distance.
Orjan has a record of 2 Wins and 4 Losses and as discussed before this is Rico’s first fight at a top level so he is stepping into the unknown here. I think Rico will make good of his professional debut and he will win here and start his career at StrikeForce Union, I feel that his Muay Thai is that great he will be able to keep Orjan away from his strong Wrestling and Rico will pick him apart placing his shots carefully. Second round K.O for Rico Cole.
Nathan Gribbin vs Givi Zurabovich
In the second fight of the event brings together 22 year old Canadian Boxer Nathan Gribbin and he will be facing Georgian 19 year old Givi Zurabovich. Nathan will be looking for a second win in a row to keep him unbeaten after a first round K.O win against Carmen Avery in the QFC while will also be looking for a second win in a row after a decision victory against Dave Zaranka in the QFC after losing in a QFC tournament a little prior to that.
Nathan Gribbin has superb abilities in Boxing. His Muay Thai is nonexistent but his Wrestling is good but he only holds a White Belt in BJJ so he will defiantly be looking to keep the fight standing and only wrestle if he needs to, Givi Zurabovich has terrible Boxing but his Muay Thai and Wrestling are respectable but he also has a White Belt in BJJ so this fight is for you stand up fighting fans.
Nathan has a record of 1 Win and 0 Losses so he will be hoping to carry on unbeaten while Givi has a record of 1 Win and 1 Loss so Giri will be looking to make his record more positive and turn earning victories into a habit, I think Nathan Gribbin’s Boxing will be enough to see him through this fight, i think he will be able to get inside the distance that Givi will try and keep with his Muay Thai and punch freely at Giri. First round K.O for Nathan Gribbin
Jose Hernandez vs Djin Kvasir
In the Third fight on the card brings together Spanish Boxing 25 year old Jose Hernandez. Standing opposite him ready for war is the Submission Specialist 19 year old from Portugal Dijn Kvasir, Jose will want to return to winning ways after losing in his last fight to YongLong le at MMA Gods 40 on the third of this month, While Dijn will need to get a win after losing his last 4 fights in a row in the QFC, he needs to get that win under his belt to regain confidence.
Jose has very good Boxing but slightly falls short in his abilities in Muay Thai and Wrestling and he currently holds a Blue Belt in BJJ while Djin doesn’t really have a stand up game, his Boxing and Muay Thai is shocking and his wrestling isn’t great but he holds a purple belt in BJJ, I Believe some much needed training in the right areas could prove crucial in Dijn’s future fights.
Jose has a record of 3 Wins and 3 Losses so another win will give him a positive record, while Djin has a record of 4 Wins and 7 Losses so a needed win will provide him with confidence and bring his closer to levelling his concerning record. I believe Jose Hernandez has enough about him to pile on the misery on Dijn Kvasir. At every opportunity Dijn will try to take Jose down and Jose will be wise to this and just place his punches and earn the win. First round K.O for Jose
Machtyn Ulisses vs John Winkle
As we near the half way point on the card here is my preview for the forth fight on the card. A battle between 18 year old Lithuanian unbeaten Machtyn facing off against Irish 18 year old John Winkle. Machtyn will be looking to earn a straight third win after earning decision victories over Lionel Kline and Jeramy Murray in the QFC. This is John Winkles debut to professional fighting so it will be interesting to see how he copes under the pressure of Fight Night.
Machtyn has very respectable Boxing but his Muay Thai is shocking, his Wrestling is in need of much work and he holds a Blue Belt in BJJ while John Winkle will be looking to have a fight on the floor as he has no stand up game. His Boxing and Muay Thai is nothing short of diabolical he can’t wrestle either. The only thing that makes him a top fighter is his BJJ where he has a very nice Brown Belt which will sure be black I know.
Machtyn has a record of 2 Wins and 0 Losses and as previously discussed John Winkle has never competed at this level before. I think Winkle is not going to enjoy his debut very much. Although his ground game is spectacular you have to be able to get your opponent down to be able to show your ground game skills. He sure wont knock Machtyn down as his stand up game is terrible and Machtyn could out wrestle Winkle with his eyes shut. First round K.O for Machtyn Ulisses.
Elwin Allen vs Botond Robert
At the halfway point of the card brings together a battle between 22 year old American Elwin Allen facing off against Hungarian 25 year old Botond Robert. Elwin will be looking to earn a second straight win on his debut for StrikeForce Union while Botond will want to earn a fourth straight win after 3 straight first round wins by KO/TKO.
Elwin Allen’s Boxing and Muay Thai is bad but his Wrestling is amazing but he only holds a White Belt in BJJ, while Botond has very strong Boxing but useless in Muay Thai his Wrestling isn’t too bad and he has a Blue Belt in BJJ. So this is a fight of Striker vs Grappler and I for one can’t wait for it.
Elwin has a record of 1 Win and 0 Losses while Botond has a record of 3 Wins and 0 Losses so both fighters will want to remain unbeaten but i think the fighter to emerge victorious will be Botond Robert, his experience and his striking skills are amazing and far better than Elwin’s, Elwin will need to work on his Stand up game for future fights, I believe Botond will have this fight cleared up quick. Another first round K.O, so to clarify Botond Robert to win by K.O.
Crusher Breaker vs Vincenzo Crescenzo
In the sixth fight on the card brings together 22 year old Portuguese Submission specialist Crusher Breaker facing off against 25 year old Italian Wrestler Vincenzo Crescenzo, Crusher will want to put a end to a two fight losing streak on his debut here at StrikeForce Union while on the other side of the of the cage Vincenzo will want to earn a third straight win and maintain his unbeaten record,
Crusher has terrible Boxing and Muay Thai and not great Wrestling and holds a Purple Belt in BJJ and Vincenzo has terrible Boxing and Muay Thai as well but his wrestling is fantastic and he holds a Blue Belt in BJJ. Some much needed work in the gym wouldn’t go a miss for these guys. The future could be bright for both!
Crusher has a record of 6 Wins and 12 Losses and he has been knocked out 8 times in that cluster of Losses but all 6 of his wins have been by spectacular submission. While Vincenzo has a record of 2 Wins and 0 Losses earning both of his wins by K.O, I think Crusher will get the victory here, I feel that Vincenzo will feel he has to use his Wrestling to make a chance of winning this fight and at some point Crusher Breaker will successfully trip him down and tap him out, im going for a third round submission win for Vincenzo Crescenzo.
Rhszard Kormoran vs Ling Manchu
Seven fights in on the card and it’s a fight between Polish 18 year old Muay Thai Practitioner Rhszard Kormoran against 22 year old Portuguese wrestler Ling Manchu, Rhszard will be looking to earn his first win after losing his last fight to Robin Graves in a QFC fight while Ling will be looking to earn a victory after losing his last two fights in a row both by K.O in the first round in the QFC.
Rhszard has terrible boxing but his Muay Thai is exceptional, His Wrestling is poor and he only holds a White Belt in BJJ but his Muay Thai should keep him out of trouble, Ling Manchu has shocking Boxing and Muay Thai, His Wrestling is good and he holds a Blue Belt in BJJ, Its Lings will to fight anyone anyplace anywhere which makes him such a asset to any org regardless of his shakey record.
Rhszard has a record of 0 Wins and 1 Loss but its only a matter of time before he and his manager get things right in the gym and the results show in the cage while Ling has a record of 8 Wins and 21 Losses. I think Rhszard will earn his first victory here against a worthy opponent who has been there and done it, I think his Muay Thai will keep him out of trouble and he will Win the fight by Decision. So Clarification Rhszard Koromoran to win by decision,
Kenneth Ank vs Jimmy Riddle
In the eighth fight is a war between 19 year old Norwegian Kenneth Ank facing off against English Hard Hitting 25 year old Jimmy Riddle. Ank will be looking to put a end to a four fight losing streak while Jimmy is looking to keep his 3 fight winning streak rolling after K.O wins all in the first round, in his first 3 fights his in cage time is 1 minute and 22 seconds!
Kenneth isn’t great anywhere to be fair. He is fairly decent across the board but doesn’t shine in any specific area at all. Some serious gym time would do this fighter the world of good while Jimmy Riddle has terrible Boxing but his Muay Thai is exceptional, he has terrible Wrestling and a Blue Belt in BJJ so he will be looking to keep the fight on the feet.
Kenneth has a record of 2 Wins and 6 Losses, both wins coming from decision and Jimmy has a record of 3 Wins and 0 Losses, I cant see this fight reaching 30 seconds in my opinion, Jimmy Riddle will win this fight quite easily by K.O within 30 seconds of round 1. So to clarify Jimmy Riddle to win by K.O in the first round.
Magnus Looped vs Jeff Roberts
In the Co Main event of the evening brings together 25 year old American Magnus Looped will fight 24 year old Portuguese 2 time fight of the night and 1 time K.O of the night winner former ECFC Welterweight Champion Jeff Roberts. Magnus will want to earn a third straight win after impressive wins at Ultra 1 and QFC while Jeff Roberts will want to earn a fifth straight victory and get his hands on StrikeForce Union gold as the winner of this fight will fight for the title.
Magnus has decent Boxing but terrible Muay Thai, great Wrestling and holds a Blue Belt in BJJ while Jeff Roberts has a terrible Boxing and Muay Thai but his Wrestling is beyond belief its so good. He also holds a Blue Belt in BJJ. So i think this is going to be a grappling match if im honest.
Magnus has a record of 2 Wins and 1 Loss and Jeff has a record of 6 Wins and 1 Loss. I think Jeff Roberts will emerge victorious in this fight, i feel this will turn into a grappling match straight away and Jeff is simply the better wrestler, That’s the only way you can split them as they are very similar elsewhere, Third round TKO for Jeff Roberts.
Angus Bryant vs Steve Lucas
Main Event time! In the main event brings to blows Scottish 25 year old Angus Bryant facing off against 21 year old American Sub of the night winner Steve Lucas. Angus will be looking to earn a second straight victory while Steve will be looking to extend his winning streak to 4 straight wins in succession.
Angus has shockingly bad Boxing but his Muay Thai makes up for it, his Muay Thai is beautiful, his Wrestling is respectable but he only has a White Belt in BJJ. Steve Lucas has terrible boxing, Substandard Muay Thai and not the best Wrestling but holds a Purple Belt in BJJ so he will more than likely be looking to take this fight to the floor where he excels most.
Angus has a record of 1 Wins and 0 Losses and would like to get into a winning habit and a win against Steve would surely leave him with a bright future in the org. Steve has a record of 4 Wins and 1 Loss and wants to cement himself in the org as a force not to reckoned with and a steady win over such a great Muay Thai Practitioner would go a long way.
I think Angus will pull a surprise out the bag and earn the victory on the night, I think his Muay Thai is at such a level he will keep Steve at a distance where he just can’t take him down and even if he does get close to Angus he will lose the wrestling battle as Angus beats Steve wrestling no problem statistically. Third round K.O win for Angus Bryamt.
So That is the first event for StrikeForce Union and it promises to be a great one, I will take this org to the top that’s for sure. Thanks to everyone that has helped me with this org and made it possible and thank you to all the managers in StrikeForce Union for your patience and understanding!
