LKO International FW4 Preview

Event Preview: LKO International FW4
LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION
2016-09-10, Montreal, Hard Knocks - Montreal
Author:Jake Fury

Hello, dear Canadians! Again we are here in the beautiful Montreal! LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION would like to applause you for making the right choice and coming to see the great source of entertainment that we are about to present you!

 

 

Vaclav "Wenceslaus" Mika vs Saint Nick (178643)  openweight category

 

Here we are to see a clash between two very popular and experienced veterans! The 34 year old, 190cm tall Vaclav Mika faces the 36 year old, standing tall at 225cm, what a tower, Saint Nick! Vaclav Mika, who will be looking to score his first victory since joining LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION, is known to be an amazing boxer, utilizing his strong punches in every fight and has managed to KO 13 people in his pro MMA career.  Saint Nick is an amazing boxer as well, maybe even better, since he has achieved KOs, now listen, in all of his 36 pro MMA victories! Oh God, what a record! There are rumors that both fighters are very low on morale, maybe even suffering from depression, because their fighting careers are going to end soon, but this won't stop them from trying to tear each other at our cage! Expect to see a classic boxing brawl, but I have a doubt that Mika has very big chances since he is 35cm shorter than his opponent. And how can you knock out something that you can't reach?! Stay tuned to see!

 

 

Jesse "The Celtic Warrior" McGulloch vs Daron "Psycho" Buxton  openweight category

 

The co-main event of the evening is also an openweight bout! It will present you a clash between two heavy giants! The 28 year old Jesse McGulloch is coming off a great start at LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION - defeating or better to say destroying Vaclav Mika early in the first round at LKO12 Debaser. He is known to be a great kick-boxer, focusing mainly on punches and kicks while skipping the ground game opportunities. Against him, 33 year old veteran Daron Buxton will be making his debut for LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION so he will be hoping to provide and score his first victory in front of the eyes of the Montreal fans. He is a lot more experienced than McGulloch, having participated in thrice the fights that "The Celtic Warrior" has. Buxton is an exceptional boxer but has a lot bigger arsenal of moves because his ground game is TOP as well. Expecting to see an amazing performance by both fighters, but my money are on the "Psycho".

 

 

Jordan "Hitman" Gatt vs Viktor Bogdan  185 lbs

 

Oh boy, I like watching amazing MMA prospects making their first steps to the glory! We have the 20 year old "Hitman" from Boston, USA, with six wins all by submission, Jordan Gatt! Against him we will be watching the 25 year old Russian Machine, coming all the way from Moscow, the blyat-destroyer, Viktor Bogdan!  Dear fans, in this fight you shouldn't expect any standup fighting at all! On the contrary, expect the fight to be on the ground from the moment you hear the bell! Wouldn't that be interesting? Jordan Gatt, a BJJ specialist, who executes amazing submissions, with 100% sub to win ratio versus Viktor Bogdan, who is a master of the ground and pound, using his iron fists to hurt his opponents every time he gets them beneath him! For me, this would be an exciting clash, I hope you enjoy it too! Outcome would extremely depend on Gatt keeping Bogdan under him. My prediction - "Hitman" showcasing his amazing Jiu-Jitsu skills and winning by hurting some of Bogdan's limbs extremely bad!

 

 

Alexander Klim vs Frank "God Speed" Kelly  155 lbs

 

The next fight in our schedule will present you another Russian fighter, Alexander Klim, 23 year old from Moscow who will meet the 23 year old Frank Kelly, coming all the way from Ireland, the land of the legendary MMA fighters! Klim is mostly a stand-up fighter, who uses a wide variety of punches and kicks but he isn't scared to move the fight to the ground either. Against him, "God Speed" is an exceptional boxer, who uses mainly punches in his battles so he will be looking to keep the fight at stand-up. Both fighters should provide an amazing stand-up action. Kelly's height, which is 15 cm more than Klim's height, could give him big advantage in the fight but on the other side, his skinny body, 190cm tall and 162 lbs heavy, could hurt his chances a lot. My prediction goes for Klim coming out victorious!

 

 

Tony "Black Mamba" Monteiro vs Adaephon "Quick Ben" Delat  265 lbs

 

An exciting heavyweight clash, where two young MMA prospects and future stars will compete at LKO International FW4! Both are 20 year old, both are very skilled and impressive and both are hungry for fame and success! Coming from Barneveld, Togo, standing tall at 201cm, 275lbs heavy, Tony "Black Mamba" Monteiro! Against him, coming from Raraku, United States, with 195cm height and 250lbs weight, Adaephon "Quick Ben" Delat! Both of them would be looking to make their debut at LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION a night to remember! Monteiro is an excellent boxer, but his wrestling is also at an impressive level. Delat is a bit more popular fighter, who is destructive both at stand-up and on the ground. And you should take my advice, you don't want to see Delat's fists anywhere near your face! The fact that "Quick Ben" is using submissions extremely well in his wide arsenal of abilities, makes him even more special fighter! This would be one of the most interesting clashes for me in the event, but I believe that Adaephon Delat won't disappoint and will claim the victory!

 

 

James Wolf vs Jiro "Tuesday" Hamasaki  155 lbs

 

Here we will be seeing the 26 year old James Wolf from Fabletown, USA versus the young Japanese ninja, coming all the way from Tokyo, Japan, Jiro Hamasaki! Wolf has been unbeatable since he started his professional career, scoring 3 victories out of 3 fights, 2 of which came at LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION's events. About him could be said that he is a good stand-up fighter, getting the maximum out of his punching technique and also he does exceptional in the clinch. Wolf has the size advantage in this fight being 9cm taller. Jiro Hamasaki will be making his professional debut at LKO International FW4. We aren't familiar with his skills and abilities but this would be a great opportunity for him to showcase them. Anyway, I believe that he will be hitting good using punches and kicks like the majority of Japanese fighters. Let's wish "Tuesday" good luck for that big night because he is having a tough opponent against him!

 

 

Juan Rafael El Luna vs Hershel "Hero" Hasselhoff  170 lbs

 

The next fight in our schedule presents you two very interesting combatants! 26 year old Juan Rafael El Luna from Madrid, the capital of Spain versus the 20 year old Hershel Hasselhoff from the Big Apple! El Luna is known to be an amazing Muay-Thai specialist, who likes to destroy his opponents in the clinch, using a variety of strikes - punches, knees and kicks. Against him we have "Hero", an youngster specialized in BJJ and submissions. But rumors say that Hasselhoff recently broke up with his high-school love, which resulted to him being very sad and unprepared for the fight. Anyway, there isn't a way to cancel the fight, as it has been already accepted, so we hope that Hershel Hasselhoff would prove a real man and is going to give his best in the cage! My prediction goes for a solid victor for El Luna!

 

 

Daniel Krumov vs Nelson "The Bully" Muntz  170 lbs

 

Okay, okay, dear fans, I am extremely proud to introduce you one of my boys, proud member of Team Koev - Daniel Krumov! He is 18 year old, from the city of Ruse, Bulgaria. I won't be telling you much about him because that could be like sharing my gameplan but I will tell you that you should expect spectacular stuff from him! His opponent, Nelson Muntz, is a 20 year old MMA talent from Spriengfield, USA! He is famous with his spectacular boxing skills, which he has showcased not once or twice in his high-school boxing career. I'm expecting to see fireworks in that fight, but really can't tell who will be the winner.

 

 

Jack "The Finisher" Maloski vs Stephen "The Hunter" Warner  145 lbs

 

The next fight is going to face the 20 year old Norwegian Jack Maloski against the 25 year old American Stephen Warner. "The Finisher" is an extremely dangerous ground fighter who has shown exceptional ground strikes in his 3 professional victories by KOs. Against him, "The Hunter" seems like the perfect all rounder, who tries every possibility to win a fight and looks to utilize every of the MMA techniques. Fight would be interesting to watch also because Maloski is 12cm taller than Warner, but still lighter than him. My money goes on "The Finisher" for that fight!

 

 

Kid Unknown vs Theodore "The Weasel" Nevel  205 lbs

 

In the opening fight of the evening, two youngster would clash with the high hope of scoring their first victory at LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION! 20 year old Armenian Kid Unknown versus 18 year old American Theodore Nevel. I will afford to use a pun here and say that very little is known about Mr. Unknown! The info that we have on him is that he has practiced a lot of Muay Thai in the last 4-5 years, which makes him a dangerous foe. Theodore Nevel is also a Muay Thai specialist, who loves landing hard punches in the clinch! Outcome of this fight would be extremely interesting, but I think that Kid Unknown is slightly better combatant and I am expecting him to win this.
