 ISLAND FC 25 PREVIEW this event is sponsored by Leviathan Clothing now on SALES the best mma designes now at amazing prices ,finish the season clean  , sharp and full of SWAG ....This event will start the month for us and this month will be the month were all last low ranked fighters will have one last chance to prove that they have what it takes to make it here,hey as someone days:"if you can make it here, you can make it anywere".....well because its the 1st of the month most of you heavy punters have a chance to back your fighter with a good wager in the best odds at Island Bets......the feud was reignited between #THEUNIT vs Highland aliance and talks of a BIG $$tounement underway behind the scenes....we will see if those bastards pussy out or not....now the chedar:

    155 lbs TITLE Kingsley Babajide v Herminio Herculano Well Herculano is chancing the the belt ever since he won it against Kingsley a few fights back....hes in fact the only man to have beaten the corrent champion and thats the main reason hes geting hes shot here, that and the way he won hes last fight makes him a very dangerous costumer indeed,hes been working hard in the gym ,hes cardio,hes takedown defense ,and hes exelente MT clinch makes him a very dangerous match up stylisticly and i will not be surprized if he TKO's Kingsley again, but Kingsley came a long way since this two meet and hes now seating at the top of the pille as our lightweight champ and he makes a quick reaperance here ,since hes last defence against King Diamond, true champ hes the favourite and if this hits the matt he will submit Herculano,make no mistake about that.... Prediction:Herminio Herculano by TKO     145 lbs Bob Snake v Patrick Bullar Bob Snake will make hes promotion debut and a good performance here can get him a title shot straight after....hes a 6-0 undefeated fighter but all hes fights were QFC fights and now he will be facing hes first up to scratch oponent...how will he cope against another undefeated fighter with a very good dirty boxing from the clinch and the chin is second to none....he will be in desavantage still, if this fight plays out that way, in the clinch Bob will have the advantage ,and depending on hes phisycal progress of latte ,this can be all over realy quick from the moment they clinch..... Prediction:Bob Snake  by TKO     145 lbs Ivan Maksim v Johny Trax Maksim is making hes well awaited return ,he comes here on the back of 3 losses ,against top oposition must be said, but he has a theoricly easier match up in here.....i think Trax can cause a problem or two, specialy if he manages to do well in the clinch and avoid the takedown, maybe he can drag this into latter stages and get a decision other then that ,i realy cant see it hhappenig for him, hes cardio was exposed in hes last fight and i expect the same to happend  here IF, he manages to survive for that long, he will be facing a very determined Maksim with hes mind set on the belt, he belives this long term absence did a world of good ,regarding hes mind set and recover of 3 damaging losses...we will see.... Prediction:Ivan Maksim  by KO     265+ lbs This Amateur v Nivea Men Nivea Men looked good in hes 2 QFC wins but now hes steping up in terms of oponent quality, hes a brawler with good takedowns and surprizingly good submissions...he cuts very easily and that can be a problem here  when hes facing Amateur,a brawler with a big heart and with a vry good submission game , he will try to make this a dog fight ,and slowly take the will away from hes oponent....i cant realy see any of the fighters going into this one with the uperhand...but the massive hight advantage from This Amateur could prove an advantage, or not.... Prediction:This Amateur  by Decision     185 lbs Lester Mao v Winston Hill This midleweight bout will bring face to face two very unexperient fighters but in my opinion Lester is a huge favourite to win this....i think the jamaican fighter Winston Hill, will find himself in a lot of trouble from early on , i doubt he will be able to live up with Mao's feroucious MT attack from the clinch and he sure doesnt have the necessary chin to take what Mao will trow at him, but i give Winston a slim chance given hes exelent  boxing skills and heavy hands, one shot can change EVERYTHING..... Prediction:Lester Mao      135 lbs Demitrious Johnson v Wyatt Twinkletoe I think Twinkletoe is in over is head here and i realy cant see him win if Demetrius plays hes cards right...he has some good kicks a good chin and if this will turn into a striking match ,the way i think it will, Demetrious will have the uperhand for sure....hes very unexperient and hes only win came in the QFC and he won a decision on that night ,but even thoe Twinkletoe is a very low ranked oponent,he will still have to show more to take this.....another loss here and it could be it for Twinkletoe ,hes Island FC carreer can come to an end ,if he doesnt start winning fights , he did won hes last fight and thats the reason he got this fight..... Prediction:Demitrious Johnson      170 lbs Samson Gates v Hernando Cortez The 21 year old american form has been nothing short of spectacular he have won all but hes 1st professional fights and hes now 3 wins on the road...he has hes tougher oponent to date ,but i think if he does what he has been doing lattley,he will win here again....hes a solid boxer with a solid chin but hes determination is what sets him apart ,that and hes inteligence allways adjusting to the circumstancies of the fight....Hernando won hes first fight and if he brings hes A game he should be able to beat the youngster ,im just not sure if hes phisycals are up to scratch ,if they are he will win ,if they not he will loose..... Prediction:Hernando Cortez by Submission     155 lbs Daniel Tinto v Luke Davidson This is a lightweight low ranked fight with two very unexperient fighters , but i think Daniel is the best overall fighter and if he keeps to basics and does what he supose to.....he did very well in hes first fight but show some greeness with hes over agressive style ,he show to be well rounded and have good cardio but he was missing far too many attacks and he will pay a big price for htat if he commites the same type of mistakes here....Luke has a very good chance of taking this if he manages to stay in the clinch and control it with strikes, if he does that he will TKO Tinto but if he cant avoid the takedown ,he can find himself in a all lot of trouble and Tinto BJJ brown belt will surely shin.... Prediction:Daniel Tinto  by Decision     170 lbs Pannah Wu v Danny Rand Another one of Step Stone's fighters , this time a fighter making hes professional mma debut here , hes very well looked after and normaly Step's fighters do well in their fights, i expect a good battle here but by the skill set displayed , im guessing that he will try to clinch a knee the living shit out of Rand until the ref stops it ,well i might be wrong but Rand will have the advantage if he stays on the outside and controls the fight with the jab and hes leg kicks to set up one of hes heavy punches ,he can trow bombs from crazy angles and if one of those conects it can be all over very quick.... Prediction:Pannah Wu  by TKO     265 lbs Anton Pidarasik v Ulrich Holworth This event will kick start the evening and we have two youngsters trowing it out here...both youngsters making their second professional bout and their first one had diferent results for both....Ulrich lost via cut against a very tough oponent he was doing well surviving but im afraid that was the story of that fight for him......Anton did better ,he won hes first fight by decision, but against weeker oposition, never the less he did the job and show hints of good counter and hes camp says he has KO power, well i dont know about that!....but time will tell for sure.... Prediction:Ulrich Holworth by Submission       WARRIOR Quote's   “In our modern world, we look unkindly on mistakes and imperfection. But this is far from the samurai ideal. Mistakes are part of the learning process and if you haven't made them then you are, indeed, dangerous because it means you have never learned anything. Mistakes, to a samurai, are the proof of your learning.”      #ISLANDFC #THEUNIT #MAMADO
