Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to Eminence! With you is the one and only Jorge McGillicuddy coming to you live from the H20 Arena in beautiful London England. We have some exciting fights for you tonight. So let’s dive into the action!

Peterson vs. Jones 170lbs – 3 Rounds

For our first main event card, we have Adrian Peterson going up against Former Champ, Gwyn Jones. Peterson slightly outguns Jones with sharper boxing, and all around better grappling skills. I expect Peterson to try and stand and bang in this fight. With all his TKO Victories via Cuts, you would think he had razor blades hidden in his gloves. Don’t count Jones out though; the man is a champion, with a champion’s experience. Expect him to take the fight right to Peterson.

Kruty vs. Hunt 205lbs – 3 Rounds

Kruty vs. Hunt is going to be an interesting fight, as both men like to throw bombs. Kruty as we all know, is a world class kickboxer and more flexible than a Russian Gymnast on Valium. He’s going to be coming into the fight a little lighter than Hunt, we’ll see how it effects this fight. Hunt is currently enjoying a 2 fight win streak that he’d like to see carry over into his Eminence debut. He has the skills to have the match wherever he wants it. He’s not an elite grappler, but is very competent. His best bet might be to try and take Kruty down, and pound him out.

Edward vs. Oxenfrei 265+ - 3 Rounds

For our Co-Main Event, we have two men in the title hunt at 265+. Oxenfrei is the definition of an exciting, explosive fighter. Win or lose, he’s throwing it all out there in the first round. With only 4 of his 27 fights ever going to the second round. He has a staggering 40 pounds on his opponent and will be looking to use that size, to his advantage. Across from his is Ryan Edward. Edward is looking to get back into the title picture after an exciting fight, and loss, to the current 265+ King, Jamie Anderton. This man is a banger with scary power. He doesn’t just turn the lights off; he smashes them with a baseball bat. He’s a little undersized, but being light, means being light on the feet. We’ll see if he’ll be able to get his punches off faster than Oxenfrei.

Inoue vs. Jackson 205lbs – 3 Rounds

Former Champion vs. Former Champion. Former Eminence Champion, Yuya Inoue is a submission mastermind, snatching up limbs like candy. If you show a weakness on the ground, he will exploit it, and more often than not, very soon after you will be tapping. He’s got champions experience. More “Of the Night” awards than I have fingers, and he’s looking to get his strap back.

Across from him is former Force Champion, Quinton Jackson. Jackson is an Olympic Level wrestler, with knockout power, a devastating combination. His boxing is top notch with some extremely fast and crisp punches. With Inoue’s penchant for twisting limbs, I imagine Jackson will want to keep this one standing. With his extremely potent wrestling, we’ll see if he’s able to do that.
