Live on Saturday 17th December 2016 from the 2,000 capacity Hayashi's lounge, comes Pulse fighting championship 53. In the main event we will have recently crowned champion Jose "ilustrado" Rizal defending his title against journeyman Baby Ama. Both fighters never went to the decision so don't expect this one to go too!.
Jose "ilustrado" Rizal vs Baby Ama for the PFC 145lbs belt
In the main event we have Jose"ilustrado" Rizal against Baby Ama. Riza recently took the PFC belt by submitting now retired wrestler Aleks Breznhev in a back an forth fight where Rizal's bjj and durability made him a champion in a surprisingly come from behind victory. A bjj brown belt who is also a boxer, Rizal never saw a decision in his career. Ama is coming from a 3 fight winning streak by also having tkoed every single opponent that ever faced him.
Prediction: This fight will be defined by where it will go. If we see ground action, Rizal will have the edge while if it stays on the striking range, we can see Ama's clinchwork and better striking securing a victory. In a hard fight, ill take Rizal by fourth round tko.
Bruce "The Hoodlum" Lee vs Roderick "El Aparador" Seterra/185 lbs
In the co-main event we have Pulse journeyman Roderick "El Aparador" Seterra against former title challenger Bruce "The Hoodlum" Lee. Both fighters are journeyman that will look to rebound their previews losses against reigning champion Anderson Aldo. Roderick is a MT fighter with 6 victories coming by the way of decision. Lee, a wrestleboxer have more power on his hands, since 5 of his 8 victories comes from the way of TKO.
Prediction: This will be a striking match since both fighters will probably wont even think at going to the ground. Lee probably have more power on his hands than Roderick. Roderick also have lost 4 times by tko on his career while Lee lost 5. Expect a knock out on this one and expect Lee doing that by the second round.
"Killer" Klay Thompson vs Kimbo "The Dog" Slime/170lbs
In the 170lbs division we have former Basketball player "Killer" Klay Thompson against PFC journeyman Kimbo "The Dog" Slime.
Thompson, a boxer with good chin will look to extend his winning streak to five while Slime will look to end his losing streak. Slime, a wrestler, can definitely have the edge on this one since he's more versatile than his opponent by being able to wrestle and boxing his opponent. Thompson, is also a purple belt in BJJ but never showed us his ground abilities. He also never needed to use them since all his victories comes by the way of TKO.
Prediction: Slime will have the better skills on this one but, besides having a granite chin, 4 of his 5 losses comes from the way of TKO so his chin is definitely suspect. If he can't take the fight to the ground, he will probably lose. Thompson showed on his fights an excellent defensive grappling. Also a great heart by winning fights where it all seemed lost. The problem is that checking his camp we can see that the morale wont be good to this fight and this will probably make him pay. Slime ends his losing streak by the way of second round TKO.
