 SAT. HFC 31:Jensen vs Hussain 

170 lbs Brian Jensen 7-2 v Emre Hussain 5-0

Emre is one of the most promissing young fighters in the rooster and the 19 year old Iranian is still unexposed ,finishing all hes 5 chalangers inside one round by the way of TKO....he has an exelente cardio machine and the clinch is hes bread and butter, he will look to use that here once again....hes tactics are simple , grind your oponent down and keep a relentless pace in the clinch....when you know, hes oponent is wilthering by the overwelming pressure....hes oponent Brian will have the advantage if this goes to the ground,hes a BJJ brown belt so he can submit the young superstar, the question is ,how hes going to take Emre down ?.....he does have good takedowns and hes cardio is second to none, but will hes chin be able to take what the young Iranian has to offer....i dont think so!....

Prediction: Emre Hussain 

205 lbs Ma A Nonu 3-0 v Jack Dempsey 6-0

We have two undefeated 25 year olds in a very good match up,and someones 0 will have to go....Nonu is a solid boxer with a good chin and has been tkoing hes oponents so far.....he uses hes good clinch work ,very agressive but this will be hes first real test....he is a former champion at VDL in sydney but this is a completly diferent ball game.....hes managed by a promissing young manager and im sure he will be a hard nut to crak, across the cage will be ,Jack who is a wonderfull boxer with a dangerous submission game off hes back,but he likes hes boxing stance and picks hes oponent apart from the outside with pin point acurate punching....he does cut easily but is showing great hiddens ,specialy on the KO power department....

Prediction: Ma A Nonu by TKO

265 lbs Andrey Arlovski 11-8 v John Wick 4-4

Both this fighters have a patchy form very inconsistante ,Andrey will be looking to stay in the outside and use hes high level kickboxing skills and kicks to keep hes oponent at bay....he can handle hes own on the clinch but i dont think that would be the right aproach here....he has 90% TKO rate and will be looking to increase that stat here....hes up against Wick very unexperient for hes age and a massive underdog here...in my opinion the only way he could win this fight is ,if he can make this a dog fight ,if possible use hes speed and shot for the takedown,and control position from the top....if he manages to do that i think he can take the decision....

Prediction:Andrey Arlovski by TKO

145 lbs Konstantin Golovin 2-0 v Shane Gooseman 4-2 

Both fighters come here on good form and they will do their best to keep that run going....in one corner we have Golovin this Danilo Dias 25 year old fighter is your typical clinch raper kind of fighter very dificult style to opose and depending on hes mental attributes can be an unstopable style to deal with....hes seek and destroy game can be oposed and Shane is looking just to do that ...how?...i think he wont mind the clinch ,i think hes more technical aproach in the clinch will allow him to take the fight to the ground,and thats the position i think hes the most dangerous at....we will see....

Prediction: Konstantin Golovin by Decision

265 lbs Frank Shewmaker 3-2 v Done Carvalho 2-2

I think the youngster would turn up good in the future but im afraid he doesnt have much of a chance here if Frank can use a good game plan....Done is an exelente boxer he will try to bully frank with strong combinations and an agressive style, and if he lands clean ,it can be all over realy quick....but i think Frank amazing leg kicks will keep Done at a safe distance and as the rounds progress it will take all hes mobility making him a standing target.....i think this has a good chance to go to the distance but i have a feeling someone going to fade in the final round....

Prediction:Frank Shewmaker by TKO
