-[Light Weight Division]-  Corey Baird (1-0-0) VS Chad Strdoza (3-4-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=345897
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=343597

Corey Baird was discovered on Wednesday the 20th of Feb 2019 by Prince Mitchell (http://www.mmatycoon...hp?MgrID=116394) of The Stepdads (http://www.mmatycoon...php?ali_id=1315) organization. For two years of his life he has trained in every discipline, quietly getting stronger. Waiting for the right moment to make his debut. And make it he did. During FARTMMA 61 he fought George Backman (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=348087) and after 3 rounds of back and forth fighting He rocked George in the third round but Backman made it to the buzzer before he could finish him. He is still proving himself but looks to be an exceptional fighter.

Chad Strdoza is a boxer with a brown belt in Ju-Jitsu. He has had a rocky start to his career. Starting in PhoQus Sports Enterprise organization he won 1 in 3 under there banner until they finally shut there doors. After a loss in the QFC to RNC he went on to knock out Aleski Heimo (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=343473) in the 2nd of FARTMMA 48. He is a stand up fighter that has won by armbar early in his career. For Chat this fight is about changing the pace of his career.

Both of these fighters are stand and bang thru and thru. If they change there strategy for this fight we could be in for a real treat. Either one could end this on the ground. We really have no way of knowing who would win on the ground and that is exactly why I think this fight should either go to the ground or risk this fight ending up being a decision after 3 rounds.


-[Middle Weight Division]- Caspar Milquetoast (6-3-0) VS Derek Erwin (3-1-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=344468
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=346048

Caspar Milquetoast is a boxer who has trained extensively in all disciplines and has won the majority of his fights in the first round by knock out. Lately though he has seen some tough losses and has a loss streak of 2.

Derek "Hammerhead" Erwin is a wrestler and boxer who has recently started studying Muay Thai and Ju-Jitsu. Currently on a win streak of 3 with 2 subs and one being a Submission of the Night award.

Caspar is going to try and keep this standing while Derek is going to try and snipe by taking it to the ground and going for a submission. This fight will come down to takedown defense and striking defense.

-[Welter Weight Division]- Roy Johnson (4-3-0) VS Sufyan Amin (7-3-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340457
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=348921

"Mr." Roy Johnson is a professional Kick boxer with 2 fights of the night. He is also an exceptional grappler with a sub of the night award. Signed by Jorma Oltsu (http://www.mmatycoon...php?MgrID=45733) from the free agent pool. Mr. Johnson is a versatile fighter with a lot of tools in his kit. Honestly one of the best fighter profiles I have seen in my rather short career.

Sufyan "Skinny" Amin is wrestler who prefers to brawl. He has an excellent record but is still enrolled in Cozad MMA New York and is looking a little depressed since his last fight ended in a loss by knockout in the 2nd round during FARTMMA 60.

Both these fighters like to bang it out but they can both finish on the ground. If Amin tries to go toe to toe with Mr. Johnson I predict a first round knockout and if Skinny can take this fight to the ground I predict Mr. Johnson winning by submission from the guard. I am however slightly biased towards Roy because he is such an interesting story. I think anyone would have a hard time fighting Roy and there doesn't seem to be anything standing out as an obvious advantage Skinny has to overcome Mr. Johnson.

-[Heavy Weight Division]- Fred Bizihwaeile (6-2-0) VS Denis Mamaev (7-5-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=342535
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340762

"El Rey Devastador" Fred Bizihwaeile is a professional kick boxer with minor in both boxing and wrestling. He is a stand up fighter with 2 fight of the night awards.

Denis "Hurricane" Mamaev is a professional boxer with a purple belt in Ju-Jitsu and extensive study of Muay Thai and wrestling. He is a stand up fighter with 5 knockouts and has been awarded 1 fight of the night with a knockout by head kick.

During FARTMMA 22 (http://www.mmatycoon...php?EvID=919969) Huricane fought El Rey Devastador and won by unanimous decision after 3 rounds of pain. During the third round Fred suffered a cut but that is not what won the match for Denis. It was his clinch defense and solid striking. He simply landed more accurate blows then Fred. This upcoming fight is a rematch between these two exceptional fighters. They have noth had plenty of time to grow since there last meeting and this fight looks to be exciting. I won't make any predictions here. Both fighters are high in morale. This fight will definitely be a sleeper in the middle of the card.

-[Light Heavy Weight Division]- Charlie Mack (4-1-0) VS Alexey Molotov (7-2-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340880
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=342502

Charlie Mack is a professional wrestler with 3 knock outs and 1 award for knock out of the night. He is currently on a winning streak of 3 and has been with FARTMMA since event 8 where he made his debut. He never fought any amateur bouts. He has only lost once to submission.

Alexey "Hammer" Molotov is a professional wrestler with 5 knock outs and 1 award for knock out of the night. He recently lost the belt to Angelo Moore (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340139) during FARTMMA 43. His last 2 fights have been wins by decision. He takes a long siesta between each fight to train.

Two professional wrestlers with great records committed to duking it out in the octagon. This fight will come down to striking defense, strength, and accuracy. It might be a first round knock out of go the time as we have no idea how these two are going approach this fight. Alexy may have a slight advantage in the clinch but other wise this is the type of "Fair Fight" FARTMMA is known for.

-[Light Weight Division]- Aleksi Heimo (2-3-0) VS Arnfinn Nesset (8-2-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=343473
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341361

Aleksi Heimo is a professional boxer with a purple belt in Ju-Jitsu. He has been with us since the start of his career during his debut loss during FARTMMA 34 to New Breed One (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=343277). Since then he has had a rocky career. He has an unproven record but is being trained at the Malmi Aitta (http://www.mmatycoon...c.php?gmid=3616) Gym in Las Vegas and is very highly trained.

Arnfinn Nesset is a kick boxer with varried training and a huge tool box. He has 4 awards including 3 fight of the night and 1 knock out of the night. He recently lost the belt to Miguel "MH" Harper (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340340) during FARTMMA 62 through a tough decision.

On paper this looks like a boxer versus a kick boxer but this fight is much more about strategy. Aleksi looks like the stronger fighter based on training but Nesset has the better record and fully understands what his strategy coming into each fight is going to be. Heimo is being trained by a relatively new manager and, to me at least, it looks like his tactics need some work. I would say this is heavily favored for Nesset because of that.

-[Super Heavy Weight Division]- Bubble Butt (10-6-0) VS Evgeni Rasputin (10-3-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=336668
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=342093

Bubble Butt is a highly decorated kickboxer with 9 knock outs and 5 awards. He has been extensively cross trained and holds a purple belt in Ju-Jitsu. Before London Fight Factory closed its doors he made his professional debut with a loss by knock out. He was then signed to Skrap House MMA (http://www.mmatycoon...ic.php?oid=5367) and even had one match in Rapid Fighting Championship (http://www.mmatycoon...ic.php?oid=5564) with a record of 7-5-0 before he made a home here at FARTMMA. He has had mixed results since joining and has changed managers from Runt . (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=108617) to The Beatles (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=61678). While a lot has changed, he has not. He is known for his knock out power, first round finishing, and dedication to training.

Evgeni Rasputin is a proffesional wrestler with a purple belt in Ju-Jitsu and a background in striking. He has won by knock out 6 times. Coming to us from the Island he has been sniped 2 times and lost to decision once. Since joining the FARTMMA organization in event 40 he has been on a win streak of 3 with only Daniel Cormier (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341952) making it past the first round. He trains at the legendary Captain Turturro`s Pirate Ship in New York. Some of his knockouts have been mesmerizing to watch, and watch, and watch so it confuses me how he doesn't have more awards.

This fight will most likely be a 2 guys punching each other in the head with the most accurate being the victor, but it doesn't have to be. Evgeni has a slight advantage on the ground. If Rasputin can takedown Bubble Butt then he can mitigate that striking power and possibly fight for dominant position and attempt to end the fight with strikes. Not an easy win by no means. Bubble butt is only a slightly better striker and Rasputin only a slight wrestling advantage but it could make the difference.

-[Light Weight Division Title Fight]- Night Crawler (5-1-1) VS Miguel Harper (11-4-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341495
VS


http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340340

"The Elbow Assassin" Night Crawler is a trained Striker. He has won 4 fight of the night awards. His manager Aylib 2.0 (http://www.mmatycoon...php?MgrID=49291) is the owner of the legendary Team Alpha Midget (http://www.mmatycoon...c.php?gmid=2460) gym out of Los Angelos, California. Team Alpha Midget has 8 Ju-Jitsu Black Belts training or teaching there. If thats any indication of the people he is sparring with then I wouldn't want to roll with him.

Miguel "MH" Harper is just an exceptional fighter. I could say he is a professional wrestler but that really doesn't highlight his ability at all. He has won by knockout, submission, and decision. He has won and lost his belt several times and defended it successfully several times as well. During FARTMMA 62 he won a well earned decision after 5 rounds against Arnfinn Nesset (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341361). Possibly one of the most tactical fights I have every had the pleasure of witnessing. Harper had 5 take downs, rocked Nesset once, and defended 2 reversals during the fight. His patented swing while shooting style is simply hard to counter. He likes to end fights by reigning blows from side mount. He is being trained by a relativley new manager Pablo Sir (http://www.mmatycoon...php?MgrID=60346) out of Pablo's Boxing Academy in London, England.

Night Crawler will undoubtedly try to keep this fight standing but I doubt it will go that way. MH is simply a fantastic shooter. It will be tough to stay off the ground. And on the ground Harper has more then an advantage. He lives there. With Night Crawler training against some of the best Ju-Jitsu fighters and trainers on the planet may make up the difference but its hard to tell. I believe this fight will comedown to defensive grappling and accurate strikes. I favor Harper here but its by such a small margin I couldn't rule out a first round knockout by Night Crawler.

-[Super Heavy Weight Division]- Haise Sasaki (8-1-0) VS Heitor Machado (12-8-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=342669
VS


http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=344192

"Mr. Sauce" Haise Sasaki is a wrestler and boxer out of Tokyo, Japan who moved to the United States and now trains in London, England at FIERCE (http://www.mmatycoon...c.php?gmid=3692) gym. he once beat Boomerang Farts (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340052) by knock out in the thrid round to win the Super Heavy Weight Belt but then later lost it to Bleeding Spanner (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340513). He is being managed by The Beatles (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=61678) who has been quoated saying that "Private Gyms Ruin This Game". His hope is that winning this fight will get him a title fight so he can reclaim his belt.

Heitor Machado is a black belt in Ju-Jitsu and trained sniper having won all of his fights by submission. He has stepped into the octagon on 20 occasions and secured a take down and submission on 12 different individuals even though he is only 21 years old. He started his career signed to PhoQus Sports Enterprise (http://www.mmatycoon...ic.php?oid=5502) fighting 17 of his 20 fights with them before they ultimately closed. He made his FARTMMA debut during event 47 aka The Vegas Massacre winning against Ryo "Red Dragon" Takuma (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=343292) with a kimura after a beautiful sweep from guard in the first round. He is not invincible on the ground though, have lost to submission twice in his career. His last fight was over quick as expected and he seems to be in great spirits ahead of this match.

This is another classic fight between an exceptional sniper and an exceptional striker. Clinch work might be crucial here but its going to come down to take down defense and striking defence. If Sasaki gets grounded this fight is over. It might sound like I favor Machado, and I do, but its important to note that Sasaki went toe to toe against Furnum "Padre" Pullum, another exceptional striker, and won in the third round by knock out. He was only taken down once during that fight. But its also important to note that Pullum once fought Machado during FARTMMA 55 and lost in the second round to a kimura by Machado from his back. He is a much better grappler and if he gets the takedown it could be over immediately. I predict a first round submission by Machado.

-[Super Heavy Weight Division Title Fight]- Black Caesar (10-4-0) VS Techno Viking (6-0-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341699
VS


http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340154

Black Caesar is a Pirate from the Island and a dedicated sniper with all his fights being won by submission. He has lost 4 fights. 2 of which were to submission. He is currently training out of the famous Blood and Sand (http://www.mmatycoon...c.php?gmid=4508) gym in New York. He started his career on the infamous Island with Immunity Fighting Alliance (http://www.mmatycoon...ic.php?oid=5568) and the Island Vale Tudo (http://www.mmatycoon.com/orgpublic.php?oid=5613) organization with an island record of 7-2-0 before losing in the island tournament in the first match to Paul Kruger (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=344647) by kimura. He made his debut during FARTMMA 40 by submitting Rodolfo Moraes (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=345281) with an armbar in the first 25 seconds of the bell ringing. I don't think Rodolfo ever had a chance. After his first round knockout by superman punch against Jessy "Big Boy" Dentler (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=345414) he was released by Rosetta Cutolo (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=118224) and picked up as a free agent by Mariagata Debrine (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=113961). Mariagata normally trains smaller fighters but has been doing this a long time. So she must have seen something in him. Since the manager swap he went on to beat Newbie Guide (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=341974) who despite the name is an exceptional fighter in his own right having held the belt twice before. It is said that souls of his dead children haunt the octagon when he fights.

"THE Badass Motherfucker" Techno Viking is an amazing striker with a background in wrestling and a brown belt in Ju-Jitsu. He has been training for several years and at 22 is undefeated in this 6 fights. He joined the FARTMMA family after one amateur fight that lasted all 3 rounds and was won with his only decision. Since then he has only won by knock out and often in the first round. He is being trained at Ass Private Gym (http://www.mmatycoon...c.php?gmid=4327) in Las Vegas and is managed by the Owner Valentina's Ass (http://www.mmatycoon...hp?MgrID=110608). Valentina is well known here at FARTMMA having some of the highest rated fighters in her roster including Bleeding Spanner (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340513) and Izzy "Bang Bang" Bangin (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340093) who were all three on undefeated streaks until Spanner finally lost his first match. There is no doubt that Valentina is one of the most experienced managers in our organization right now. She seems to have perfected the stand and bang mentality and instilled it into all her fighters. Techno Viking is a hard as nails, hard to read, and hard to stop staring at. He looks like a large child and has an unorthodox style. He seems almost invincible in the ring, taking abuse or dodging out of the way with playful ease. He often smiles when hit and has got to be unnerving to stand next to, let alone fight in a cage with.

This is going to be over quickly. Either Caesar gets rocked early or Techno is finally going to lose and tap out. Caesar is a colorful character and is definitely capable of bringing this fight to the mat but the whole gamble is risk that he might get tagged, and hard, early. With his exceptional wrestling skill I find it highly more likely that Techno is going to stuff the shoots and punish Caesar. The fight will most likely end by knock out in the first or second round. I just don't see Caesar winning the standing game and even if he manages to get him on the ground, Techno isn't a typical striker. He was trained in wrestling first and is very strong in the clinch and takedown defense.

The two last cards at this event have the opportunity to change the way we see snipers in FARTMMA. a lot of focus up until this point at the very top of the game has been on strikers. They start standing, you have to take them to the ground to remove there strength but they only have to stay standing and hit you once really hard. Its a tactical decision to try and add an extra step to the whole process of winning. Snipers have to not only get them on the ground, but they have to submit them before the ref calls for another stand up, giving the striker the advantage back. These lase 2 fights could set the tone for the next ten events in the FARTMMA and change the way we all look at professional grapplers.
