MAIN CARD


 


Light Heavyweight bout


LeRoy Brown (1-0-0) vs Android Twenty Two (1-1-0)


 


Brown had a successful IXF debut in IXF 4 grabbing a quick TKO against his opponent. He will face Android Twenty Two who had an impressive 22 second submission win over SF Candidate, earning him sub of the night honors.


Brown should keep this match on their feet to get a good shot at a win, or else Android will submit him on the mat.


 


Key Areas:


 


Brown's superior boxing


Android's submissions


 


Prediction: Android by 1st round Submission


 


 


Welterweight bout


Medusa Grip (2-0-0) vs Steve McQueen (1-1-0)
 
Grip is back after 2 weeks of training after his impressive submission win in IXF 2. McQueen on the other hand will also have his second IXF match after a successful debut win in IXF 3 via KO. Grip can capitalize with his superior BJJ advantage. However, McQueen can keep his distance and land some decent shots. Let's see how it goes.
 
 
Key Areas:
Standup vs Ground game
McQueen's speed
Grip's Chin
 
 

Prediction: Grip by 1st round submission 


 


Light Heavyweight bout


Corso Donati (2-0-0) vs Rodrigo Laranja (1-0-0)


 


We have a great grappling match coming in this one as 2 BJJ brown belts go head to head in this bout. Both fighters have proved to be prodigies in the ground, winning each of their IXF debut matches. They are both in the top 100 of the island and a win in this one will significantly boost their rankings.


 


Key areas:


Ground strategy


Flexibility


Grappling


 


Prediction: Donati via 2nd round submission


 


Light Heavyweight bout


Xandar Capri (4-0-0) vs Sum Ting Wong (5-0-0)


 


 


For our co-main event, we head on to the battle of the undefeated! Capri (ranked 5 P4P) will face Wong (ranked 13 P4P) in this solid bloodbath. Both fighters have finished each opponent via TKO. On another note, Wong has finished all 5 opponents in the first round, including 3 opponents KO'd in less than a minute. Damn that hand sure is heavy. 


Both fighters have earned their names in the QFC and this is their first match in IXF. The winner will most likely face our very own Ugandan Knuckles for the title. Things are gonna get more interesting so stay tuned!


 


Key areas:


 


KO POWER


Wong's Chin


Clinchwork


Wong's energy


 


Prediction: Wong by 1st round TKO

  VS 


 


 


 


And now.... For the main event! The first IXF Welterweight champion will be crowned as Bobby Sands Jr. will face Venari Venator. 


This is a classic ground specialist versus clinch raper match as each fighter will use their own arsenals to capitalize in this one. 


KO power has never been a problem for both guys so this will be up to their strategy and determination to win. 


Both fighters are in the top 30 of Island P4P so a win in this one will bring them into the top 10. So excited for this one. 


Will Sands Jr. from IXF beat the new guy Venator? Expect a cold knockout in this 5 rounds of MMA!
