-[Super Heavy Weight Division]- Fightah Numbah Five (3-2-0) VS Bearclaw Brennan (2-1-0)
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=350813
VS
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=349597
Fightah "Good Boy" Numbah Five Has a purple belt in Ju-Jitsu and has some basic Muay Thai skills. All his wins have been thru decisions. He is still training in Cozad MMA London. His first fight outside of QFC was right here in FARTMMA 63 which he won fighting Andrei Mirkovich (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=349797).
Bearclaw Brennan is a boxer with a decent understanding of wrestling and Ju-Jitsu. He is still enrolled in Cozad MMA Las Vegas. So far he is 2 for 3 with both wins being by knockout in the first round. None of his fights have made it to the second minute. He has not graced us with his presence since FARTMMA 55 where he won with some great ground and pound that led to a stop of the fight.
This match is wrestling and boxing versus Muay Thai and Ju-Jitsu. I expect Good Boy to end the fight in the first or second round with strikes on the ground.
-[Light Heavy Weight Division]- Kenny Smith (2-2-0) VS Antonino Loggia (2-1-0)
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=347209
VS
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=346360
Kenny Smith is a wrestler with some training both Muay Thai and Boxing. After losing his first two fights he has gone on a win streak with 2 knock outs. He has only fought one QFC fight and his career started right here in FARTMMA 48. All of his fights were won by knockout using his legs as deadly weapons. When fighting Steve McKnights in FARTMMA 52 with a kick to the head in round 2.
Antonino "The Black Agent" Loggia is a boxer who has taken up ju-jitsu and has attained a purple belt. He has been in several organizations since the start of his career and has never fought a single fight in the QFC. Both of his wins were by knockout in the first round with his fists. This is his first match in FARTMMA. He has been training since ten with the blessing of his family. He used to watch boxing and MMA fights on the tele with his father.
Both of these fighters like to stand and bang but both have lost to submission. With The Black Agent having the better ground skills he could end this quick with a submission on Kenny but if he holds to his previous strategy Ken Smith has a slight advantage. This is a great match up. I predict a stand up fight that is over in the first round.
-[Welter Weight Division]- Mutt Zatsch (4-2-0) VS Nate O Sullivan (2-0-0)
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=341780
VS
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340163
Mutt Zatsch has been training for years and has fought a total of 6 matches with no QFC battles. Mutt joined us during FARTMMA 37 and has fought a total of 4 bouts under our banner. He has won with a triangle choke, by decision and 2 knock outs. He is a versatile fighter with high marks in all 4 disciplines. All his losses have been from decision. He can obviously go the whole fight and has many tools at his disposal.
Nate O Sullivan is a black belt in ju-jitsu and has been boxing since he was very young. This is his first fight outside of the QFC and we are glad to welcome him to the FARTMMA. Undefeated in his 2 fight career we look forward to seeing this master in ju-jitsu and boxing.
This match is going to be a war. In my humble opinion both these fighters are highly trained machines that can win a fight any way they want. They are both in there early twenties and have trained most of there lives for an opportunity such as this. They both have been in the gym for a long time and both have great records. This is definitely a match I am looking forward to.
-[Welter Weight Division]- John Snape (4-1-0) VS Sakuma Yanagamichi (10-4-0)
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=345901
VS
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=348215
John Snape is a striker who fights smart. Most of his fights have been won by decision. He has excellent take down defense and has only lost once to submission 4 minutes into the first round. He will be looking to keep this fight standing.
Sakuma "Slammin" Yanagamichi is a wrestler with 10 wins in the ring. His morale is low after his loss to Xun Zemin (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=341930) in FARTMMA 59. He is still training at Cozad MMA New York. While he has an excellent record he is very specialized in wrestling and has very little experience in the striking or submission disciplines. Yet he has won by knock out and with the guillotine. His ground and pound is superb.
This fight will come down to who wants it more. There are several reasons to think that Snape has the advantage over Sakuma. He is definitely trained in more diverse set of skills but Sakuma is a focused practitioner. He has proven that wrestling skill can be a main stay in the right and his record backs that up. I think experience is going to push Sakuma over the top and expect him to win with ground and pound before the end of the second round.
-[Super Weight Division]- Rodolfo Moraes (6-6-0) VS Big Blue Lou (2-1-0)
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=345281
VS
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=350674
Rodolfo Moraes is a submission sniper with a lack luster career. He has won as much as he has lost. With a focus on wrestling and a purple belt in Ju-Jitsu. He joined us from the famous Island Vale Tudo (http://www.mmatycoon.com/orgpublic.php?oid=5613) organization after it closed its doors. He did exceptional in that group having 4 submissions in a row with 3 of them being awarded the sub of the night award. Since then he has had mixed results in FARTMMA.
Big Blue Lou "Boyle" is an old fighter who doesn't know any new tricks. He holds a brown belt in Ju-Jitsu and a decent understanding of Muay Thai. He has never fought a fight in the QFC starting his career with us during FARTMMA 53. At 26 he has won 2 out of his 3 fights but has not been highly trained in anything. He looks like a stepping stone and I mean that with the utmost respect. For anyone to get into the ring is brave and he is well matched for this fighter. But his age and training put him in an obvious disadvantage in any fight.
Its no secret I think this is a garbage fight designed to make Rodolfo Moraes look better before Lou is released to the free agent pool. I highly favor Moraes and predict a 1st round submission. This is a well matched fight but I believe that Moraes has more experience and training.
-[Welter Weight Division]- Gundro Vilheimshaugen (9-3-0) VS Tan Zan (14-4-0)
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=347942
VS
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=341927
Gundro "Rascal" Vilheimshaugen is a wrestler with minimal training in other disciplines which has served him well. He has been awarded with 1 sub of the night and two knock outs of the night. He started his career in the QFC with a 6 win streak and was then signed to Immunity Fighting Alliance. After knocking out Alejandro "The Tornado" Rios (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=347528) and winning the Welter Weight belt he lost to a submission in his first defense within 30 seconds to an armbar he went on to win his next 2 IFA fights with a submission and a knockout. He has a versatile tool box even though he is trained almost exclusively in wrestling. Since then he has lost both fights in the FARTMMA. He will definitely be looking to change his streak.
Tan Zan has trained in boxing and wrestling. he has an excellent record and has won the majority of his fights by knockout but has won by decision a total of 6 times. He can definitely go the distance. After 2 fights in the QFC he was signed by Immunity Fighting Alliance where he picked up the Welter Weight Division Belt from Litill "Mini Mountain" (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=341562) which was his only loss, ever. He immediately lost in a rematch to submission in the first minute. After the feud he went on to win 3 out of his next four fights and then joined an Island QFC tournament and won. Since then he has won and lost the FARTMMA Welter Weight Division Belt several times. He is currently in a feud with Alexander "MedArmy" Tverdovskiy (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=341268) who he won the belt from in FARTMMA 45. He then lost it to Alex in his last fight at FARTMMA 62.
This fight is all about Tan Zan winning and going on to fight Alex again for the belt. But that doesn't in anyway mean its clear cut. Both of these fighters are professional wrestlers. Zan has a definite advantage here. He is better trained, more experienced, and has higher morale but Rascal is a proven fighter. He has a strange style and his younger career mirrors that of his opponent. Its still anyone's game.
-[Light Weight Division]- Prohor Georgiev (8-3-0) VS Claude Dacre (8-4-0)
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340563
VS
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=341796
Prohor "69" Georgiev is a highly trained submission sniper with a broad range of training. He has been awarded the sub of the night twice and has gone the full fight to a decision on 4 separate occasions. He is being trained under Ven Detta (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=113660) a very successful and up and coming trainer with his own Gym (http://www.mmatycoon.com/gympublic.php?gmid=4339) in London. Ven has a great record and seems to be grooming Prohor for a title match. Prohor has only lost by knock out once and started his career with a loss in QFC to a decision. He was then signed by the now defunct Get Rekt Organization where he won by decision and a rear naked choke. He was signed with FARTMMA and went on to win his next 6 fights picking up the Light Weight Division Belt from Miguel "MH" Harper (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340340) with a triangle choke. He lost his first defense of the belt last fight during FARTMMA 57 to Arnfinn Nesset (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=341361).
Claude Dacre is a black belt in Ju-Jitsu who has trained extensively in all other fighting styles. He has won 5 awards with several fight of the night and sub of the night. He has only made it to the end of the match once and lost to decision but has consistently won by submission eight times. He has been with FARTMMA since its conception and is well known in the organization. He has lost his last 2 fights to knock outs in the third round. He is being trained by Owen Hitman (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=126363) who owns his own gym Shake and Bake in Las Vegas. He is a rapidly rising manager but this seems to be his first sniper he has trained. This is most likely why he is not training Claude at his gym but instead at MMA Dojo out of Japan. Clause is a former Light Weight champion who once beat an Olympic Gold Medalist (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=342949).
Dacre has a slight advantage here with his ground game. But these are both extremely powerful and experienced fighters. Both are snipers. Both are trained by new but proven managers. This is going to be a very technical fight that should come down submission defense and transition training. I am excited to see who wins this match.
-[Light Heavy Weight Division]- Angelo Moore (8-0-0) VS Johnny Bronco (12-2-0)
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340139
VS
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340688
Angelo "Lying Ass Bitch" Moore is a tough fighter with skills in all 4 disciplines who currently holds the FARTMMA Light Heavy Weight Belt and is undefeated. He has been with FARTMMA since 14, Bad Blood. He has only one amateur fight in the QFC and has won many of his fights to decisions. He has defended his belt on 3 different occasions and won it in his third FARTMMA match during FARTMMA 29 against Hector "The Speed Runner" Villaba (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=344991) with a decision. He is being managed by Blake Phoenix (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=105403) who trained some of the greatest fighters in the game over the years. He is close to breaking 900 wins over his long career as a manager and has been working with Angelo for a long time.
Johnny "The Cowboy" Bronco is a wrestler with some training in striking and a brown belt in Ju-Jitsu. He lost his first amateur fight but Camara must have seen something special in him because he brought him into FARTMMA and he went on to hold a 9 win streak and has since only lost once to Izzy Bangin (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340093) who we all know is a tough fighter. He held his own to a decision. Izzy took his belt but he should be proud of his career. He originally took the Light Heavy Weight Belt in his 4th professional fight against Clint Eastwood (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340196) in the Grand Finale fight that started the organization in the first place. He defended his belt 5 times successfully. He is one of the few fighters who has won by KO even though his focus has always been on sniping. He has won his last 3 fights and hopes to keep the train rolling here. His manager is a member of the LEGION OF DOOM (http://www.mmatycoon.com/alliancepublic.php?ali_id=1006) and has been playing this game for a long time. His record speaks for itself. Scotty owns the Chris Leben KO Academy out of London so there is a good chance The Cowboy has had a chance to spar with Biff "The Unemployed Nanny" Raper (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=333908) who is an absolute monster being well known for his first round knock outs.
This match could be the top card. Its a classic Striker versus Sniper. This is why we love MMA. To see two fighters who are at the top of there respective games to go head to head with very little restrictions and see who comes out on top. Obviously Angelo has an advantage standing up but can he stop Johnny from brining him to the mat. If The Cowboy brings down Moore he could end his unbeaten record and Johnny definitely has proven that he can go 5 rounds with a proven striker when fighting Izzy. This will come down to clinch work and take down defense more then anything else and should be a match we will all talk about, and refer back to, for a long time to come.
-[Heavy Weight Division]- Oliver Lancaster (8-5-0) VS Anthony Romeo (13-4-0)
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340934
VS
http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=343680
Oliver Lancaster is Boxer and Wrestler who has trained in both the other disciplines as well. He is a highly praised fighter with three fight of the night and one knock out of the night awards. He started his career in the Ironman Fight Club losing both matches before the organization was closed. He was picked up by Empyrean but was subsequently dropped and signed to Some Fighting League after his first loss in that league. He had 3 losses and his career was off to a rocky start. That all ended in SFL. He went on to win 5 in a row and picked up the SFL Heavy Weight Belt. He defended his belt once but lost it to Lotay Wangchuck (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=343242) and again lost another chance at the belt to Vitali Kozlovsky (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=343640) by getting knocked out in the second round. Then after winning his next qualifying match for the belt a third time SFL closed its doors after 35 events robbing him of his chance to go for the belt again. He recently signed with FARTMMA and won his first match with us by knocking out Denis "Hurricane" Mamaev (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340762) right before the buzzer in the first round during FARTMMA 61. This is his third attempt at a Heavy Weight Belt. He has fought hard to get here.
Here is something we rarely get to see. Two exceptional fighters, yes, but unlike other match ups of Striker Vs Sniper we have a chance to see if Wrestling and Boxing or Ju-Jitsu and Muay Thai are the better disciplines. Wrestling and Ju-Jitsu are the two most popular grappling fighting styles. Wrestlers are often known for having a high skill level in take down defense. Ju-Jitsu focuses more on technical transitions and offensive prowess even from the guard. Boxers are known for there devastating punches, strategy, and foot work. Kick Boxers are known for there devastating kicks but even more for there clinch work. Now we get two people who are skilled in two very different striking styles, and two very different ground styles who are both known for there extensive tool kits. These fighters are both in high morale and energy. They looked focused and confident. This is a match I can not make a prediction about. There are too many factors for me to even guess. Both fighters could win standing or on the ground and with each fighter having such a long history that has seen strategy and fighting style changes when fighting different people I could not even suggest what they might be leaning towards here. This mystery would be my guess why this posted above the Super Heavy Weight Title fight on the card. No matter who you are in the FARTMMA community you will be watching this fight while holding your breath.
Thank You to Cabara for organizing these match ups and if you enjoyed this article please up vote. Any feedback is appreciated.
