 Li Kong Ho (13-2-0) vs Charles Ng (3-0-0) – 135lbs
We're starting of the main card with two asians fighting in the lowest weightclass. “The Little Dragon” Ho is easily the more experienced of the fighters. He's making his Generation debut, coming over from Rio Chain Gang, where he was on a four fight win streak. He has a very allround game, a great chin on him and is absolutely lethal when he get's you in a submission.
Ng does not have quite the resume Ho has. What he does have though is a chin made of iron and two hands made of bricks. None of Ng's fights have gone over the three minute mark, a rare feat in the 135lbs division. His game that we have seen so far is build on keeping him upright so he can hunt for that KO shot. He has never faced a fighter of Ho's caliber though, so we might see him get dumped on his back for the first time, and no one knows yet how he will fare there.
Estefan Atunes (4-2-0) vs Roy Palmer (8-2-0) – 265 lbs
From the bantamweights we move on to the heavyweights. Atunes and Palmer met once before in Victory Combat League, and now they will be making their Generation debut against eachother. In their previous fight Atunes used his range to box his opponent up from the outside, winning the first two rounds. The third round got scary for him though, as Palmer managed to use his superiour clinch game to rock Atunes. Atunes managed to survive that round and edged out the decision.
The loss didn't upset Palmer much though, as he captured the Victory Combat League Heavyweight title just two fights later. Can the linial champ get the win this time though? We'll see!
Miguel Cotto (7-2-0) vs Iosue Necu (12-2-0) – 205 lbs
If there's one thing we can say oubt Miguel Cotto it is this: He loves knocking people out. This man might be the P4P hardest hitter in Generation. All his wins have come by first round KO. We know he used to struggle on the ground, but his trainers say he worked immensely on that, already earning his purple belt.
He'll be fighting former chalenger and Dignity FC champion Iosue Necu for the right to challenge the champion. The first round of the championship fight between Blake and Necu might be the best I've ever seen. Both fighter threw everything at eachother, both rocking eachother. In the second round however, Blake took over, knocking down Necu multiple times, eventially finishing him with a Supermanpunch. Necu bounced back by very aggresively finishing dangerous wrestler Boschman and wants nothing more than avenge his loss to Blake
Co-Main Event: Zurgadai Jebe (8-2-1) vs Neculai Costel (12-3-0) – 135lbs Title
It's the first title fight of the evening “The Arrow” vs “Quick”. The last time the 135lbs belt was defended it was this same match up. That time it only took Jebe 1:41 to finish Costel, dropping him with a right hook and finishing him with his trademark ground and pound.
Jebe is a very allround fighter, coming from a wrestling base, but over time he has addes skills in all areas. His best work is still up close though. The Mongalion marches forward with reckless kicks and punches until he gets to the clinch. From there he usually either dirty boxes his opponent into submission, or goes for the takedown. Once you have Jebe on top of you, you are really in trouble. His ground and pound is one of the best in the game and it's almost impossible to break his top control.
Costel will look to do one thing, get this fight to the ground. The Romanian is a black belt and all his wins have come by submission. His ground defence is a bit lacking though, having lost by submission twice. Still, his biggest chance here is on the ground and since he couldn't get Jebe there the last time, we'll have to see if Costel changed tactics
Main Event: Silvio Crespo (11-0-0) vs Tyrone Badass (10-2-0) – 145lbs Title
The main event of the night sees undefeated Generation 145 lbs champion Silvio Crespo pitted against the last 135lbs champion of Rio Chain Gang, Tyrone Badass.
Is there anyone that can beat Crespo? The 22-year old is already having his 8th title fight, having won all of them, on the way earning three titles. He made is debut in his last fight, grinding out a decision win over Davie Brophy, winning the Generation 145lbs title. It was an unusual way of victory for Crespo, usually knocking his opponents out, but he absoluty dominated Brophy over the course of the fight, proving that he's able to adept to different opponents.
If there is someone who knows how to win decisions though it's Tyrone Badass. He has won his last 6 fights by decision, 4 of them title fights. Badass has some really strong takedowns and some crushing pressure from top control. You do not want to lie under this man. Badass used to fight at 135lbs in Rio Chain Gang, but seems to see more possiblities at 145lbs. Since he last fought, he gained a whopping 13lbs in pure muscle, and I have to say, he looks in very good shape. He's up against the best opponent of his career though. Want to see how it ends? Buy you tickets for G #20, next Saturday in London.
