NFC 77 Hank vs Osborne (Preview)
Hello everyone, here's the preview for the next NFC event.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Main Event
170lbs - Title Fight
Craig Hanks v Norman Osborn
 
Both fighters are coming into this fight having had 2 wins in the previous 2 fights. Hanks has shown in the past that he has KO power and without a doubt Osborn will be looking to avoid his powerful punches. Osborn has great skills on the ground and has won 3 out of his 10 wins via submission, I'd guess that he'll be looking to take this fight to the ground and be the first fighter to successfully submit Hanks. 
 
Co-Main Event
185lbs
Susumo Komota v Flint Marko
 
Komota will be looking to get back to winning ways having suffered a loss in his last bout. He haswon 5 out of 9 of his wins by submission, which will scare Marko and he will know that he has to keep his focus at all times on the ground. Even though Marko is a black belt and Komota is a brown belt, Komota still has the ability to finish the fight with a quick submission and Marko knows it'd be foolish to underestimate Komota's ground game. I'm guessing that Marko will want to keep this standing and get another KO win.
 
Main Card
145 lbs
Poncjusz Zabawka v Peter Parker
 
Both of these fighters will be hoping to add to their impressive 2 win streak by securing another win at NFC 77. A win at NFC 77 will boost both fighters chances of a possible title fight in the near future. It will be interesting to see where this fight takes place, Parker is a better boxer but Zabawka is the better wrestler. Dispite being a great boxer, there are questions being raised about whether or not Parker has KO power in his punches as he has only been able to finish the fight in 2 out of his 10 wins.
 
Main Card
145 lbs
Mega Funkyama v Roderick Jenkins
 
Another 2 145 fighters wanting to increase their chances of a title shot. It could be a real possiblity that the winner of this fight will face the winner out of Zabawka/ Parker fight. Funkyama in my opinion is the better ground fighter but he has shown that he can KO his opponent so Jenkins will need to be careful if the fight stays standing. Jenkins will be going into this fight confident of securing a KO win, 11 of his 13 wins have came via KO, so without a doubt he has KO power. However it looks like he's low in confidence having had trouble securing wins in his recent fights.

Thanks for reading, good luck to all the fighters at NFC 77!
