 Main event: 205 lb Championship- Buffalo Bill (4-0) vs. AJ Hearts (2-0)

- In what could be the biggest event in SPFT history, Buffalo Bill takes on AJ Hearts in the main event for the 205 lb championship. Both fighters are undefeated in SPFT and have outstanding overall records (15-0 vs. 11-2). Bill has powerful striking and if he gets his hands on Hearts, he should retain the title. If Hearts can bring the fight to the ground, anything could happen.

Prediction: Buffalo Bill, TKO, RD 2

Co-Main event: 185 lb Championship- Rafal Dabrowski (4-1) vs. Boris Yurinov (3-0)

-In our second title fight of the evening, Rafal Dabrowski looks to roll through Boris Yurinov in the Middleweight division. Beating Yurinov won’t be an easy task, as this fight is dead even on all fronts. Dabrowski potentially holds the better grappling skills, but it would be a surprise if he can get the fight to the ground. This should be a back and forth battle to the bitter end.

Prediction: Boris Yurinov, Unanimous Decision

185 lb- Ismail Saidov (6-0) vs. Igor Kotzlowski (4-2) II

-In a middleweight contenders rematch, Ismail Saidov brings his SPFT record of 6 wins against Igor Kotzlowski. Saidov won a decision at SPFT 9, and hasn’t looked back. Kotzlowski has won 3 straight after his loss, and now is his chance to prove he is ready for tough competition.

Prediction: Ismail Saidov, Unanimous Decision

265 lb- Karol Bedorf (1-0) vs. Abheek Shukla (1-1)

-Coming off a submission of the night against Alstair Overeem, Karol Bedorf tries his luck against Abheek Shukla, who earned a KO of the night in his last bout. There is no doubt, both fighters want to earn consecutive awards in this fight. Bedorf holds a significant advantage on the ground, but he may get taken out before he can get there

Prediction: Abheek Shukla, TKO, RD 1

170 lb- Jay Bleezy (1-0) vs. David Aresenault (0-1)

- In the final fight on the main card, Jay Bleezy fights David Aresenault. Both fighters are dead even in wrestling and jiu jitsu. Bleezy has the advantage in boxing but Aresenault holds a major advantage in Muay Thai. This fight looks prime for a finish

Prediction: Jay Bleezy, Arm Triangle, RD 2

Undercard:

205 lb- Mick Spanner (2-2) vs. Joe Lauzon (1-1)

135 lb- My Inner Rage (1-0) vs. Robyn Fenty (0-1)
