With the heavyweight title maybe leaving the hands of the undefeated Mad Max, let’s take a look at the fights going down that night.

Prediction: Kahn – TKO
Main Card:
Super Heavyweight Bout: Greg “The Mountain” Clegane (6-3-0) vs. Donald Trump (8-6-0)
An awaited rematch, with the powerful Clegane preferring to stay on his feet and knock down his opponents with brutally powerful strikes that more often than not lead to a Round 1 KO/TKO. Trump will be trying to come back from a loss and avenge his previous loss to Clegane during HFC35. His traditional strategy seems to be taking his opponent’s down to the ground and letting loose a flurry of strikes on him. Will Trump be able to take down “The Mountain” and force him to tap out? Or will Clegane stop Trump short with another overhand right?
Prediction: Clegane – TKO
Middleweight Bout: “The Golden Child” Kyrie Perry (7-2-0) vs. Aloysius Wiremu (7-4-0)
Two fighters coming back from a loss in this fight. Perry specializes in taking his opponents to the ground and then fighting for a decision win…only 1 of his 7 wins has been by knockout. On the other hand, Wiremu tends to place a fast pace on the match, often delivering Round 1 or Round 2 technical knockouts. Will Perry be able to control the pace of the fight down on the ground, or will Wiremu force referee stoppage before five minutes have gone by?
Prediction: Perry – Decision
Super Heavyweight Bout: Abioye “The Last Pharaoh” Nazari (6-3-0) vs. Kristian Johansson (6-1-0)
“The Last Pharaoh” faces tough competition in this fight, even though Nazari is more experienced Johansson seems generally superior as a fighter. Nazari likes to take his opponents to the ground and force them to tap out, whereas Johansson manifests his explosive power in the form of TKOs and KOs. Will Nazari overcome the odds and give Johansson his second loss, or will he end up sprawled out on the mat like Johansson’s previous opponents?
Prediction: Johansson – TKO
Co-Main Event
Welterweight Bout: “The Farmer” Isaac Curtis (8-0-0) vs. Brian “Kaptajn Large” Jensen (9-3-0)
The undefeated Curtis faces off against the more experienced Jensen, and this fight will certainly keep us on the edges of our seat. “The Farmer” is primarily a boxer, and the former champion of Red Star Fighting likes to put down his opponents quickly with a barrage of strikes. Jensen, in contrast, likes to get his opponents down to the ground and make them tap out after a placing them in a difficult position to escape.
Jensen has almost no chance at winning the fight if it is kept on his feet, with almost no skill in striking. In contrast, however, Curtis possesses enough skill on the ground in order to give Jensen a good fight if he’s taken there.
To be noted is that Jensen is coming back from a loss here, so his morale might not be the greatest for this fight. Will “Kaptajn Large” manage to get Curtis to tap out, or will “The Farmer” steamroll past him in order to get a 9th win?
Curtis is managed by Rei Rei, and sponsored by both the Notorious Clothing Company and Lion Fightwear. Jensen is managed by Brian Jensen.
Prediction: Curtis - TKO
Main Event:
Heavyweight Title Bout: Mad Max (7-0-0) vs. Lars “Slaughterhouse” Kristoffer (13-4-0)
Mad Max and Lars "Slaughterhouse" Kristoffer face off on July 2nd in the Kazan Sambo Center, as Kristoffer chases after the heavyweight title. Max, the undefeated champion with a 7-0-0 record, has never failed to knock out an opponent or force referee stoppage. Never has a fight gone to a decision. Max tends to keep the fight to his feet, delivering devastating punches and kicks that send his opponent tumbling to the mat.
Kristoffer is the more experienced fighter however, and the former heavyweight champion of the Rio Chain Gang. Like Max, "Slaughterhouse" prefers to keep the fight to his feet and throw devastating punches. He targets the opponent's head, and lets loose weapons of mass destruction that more often then not lead to a knockout as opposed to referee stoppage.
Expect a slugfest, with both fighters duking it out in the middle of the arena. If the fight goes to the ground for whatever reason, Max has his purple belt in BJJ to compete against the ground and pound that Kristoffer will doubtlessly throw at him.
Max is managed by Moyses Mattos, and is sponsored by Pitt Nutrition 160Q!. Kristoffer is managed by Mickey Hart, and is sponsored by Zenith Nutrition.
Prediction: Max – TKO
