-[Light Weight Division]- Holden Caulfield (0-2-0) VS George Backman (2-4-0)
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=344183
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=348087
Holden "The Body Catcher" Caulfield started out as a Muay Thai Kick boxer but after a loss in the QFC he started training in a diverse range of fighting styles. Although a formidable fighter and well trained he lost his last match during FARTMMA 62 to Chad Strdoza. He has simply not chosen a style of fighting. Going from clicnh to takedowns and back to standing and striking. He has been given a third chance to prove he can perform at the professional level.
George "Backblow" Backman is an amateur wrestler who took up boxing and tried his hand at MMA. After 6 fights he is still a relative unknown. His first 2 fights were won by knock out in the first round in the amateur feather weight division. Since joining FARTMMA he has moved up to the Light Weight Division and it hasn't been a good fit for him. He has lost all 4 of his professional matches.
Both of these fighters are under dogs to put it nicely. There can't be many more chances to prove themselves making this an important match for both fighters. While Caulfield has more training over all his strategy hasn't been clearly defined. Its a hard choice but I would favor Backman during this fight due to his experience.
-[Super Heavy Weight Division]- Dodong Santiago (6-8-0) VS Legend Broly (6-7-0)
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=343206
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=344341
Dodong Santiago the self proclaimed "King of FARTMMA" is a boxer with a long and varied career. After 14 fights and only 6 wins. He was an exciting up and coming amateur who was undefeated. After 9 matches with FARTMMA he has only won once but that fight won him an award for knock out of the night.
"The Demented" Legend Broly is a kick boxer who started in PhoQus Sports Enterprise (http://www.mmatycoon...ic.php?oid=5502). It was a rocky start but since coming to FARTMMA he has really turned his luck around. Well known for being a first round knock out artist he has never made it to the third round in his career.
After reviewing match footage for both fighters I would give Broly the advantage in this fight. I can't see this going past the first round. This fight should stay standing and will most likely end in a knockout.
-[Heavy Weight Division]- Ruslan Karelin (0-1-0) VS Paul Bunyon (2-5-0)
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340161
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340431
Ruslan Karelin has been training since he was young child. He is a professional wrestler and boxer and has learned the basics of kick boxing and ju-jitsu. After losing his first amateur fight he was signed to FARTMMA and despite his loss he looks like an exceptional fighter.
Paul "Babe The Blue Ox" Bunyon is a kick boxer. He either losses or gets an award for knock out of the night. He has been with us since FARTMMA 26. Its hard to tell how he is going to perform from fight to fight.
While Paul has more experience and has won awards on 2 separate occasions I believe Ruslan is the better fighter. This will be Ruslan's second fight and first professional appearance but he has trained for years for an opportunity such as this. Paul definitely has a shot and is capable of finishing this with a knock out in round 1 but I think the training puts Ruslan as the clear favorite.
-[Super Heavy Weight Division]- Keith Primeau (1-0-0) VS Yago Steve (2-0-0)
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=342528
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341417
Keith Primeau started with Muay Thai and moved onto boxing, then wrestling and finally he recently started his training in ju-jitsu earning his purple belt. His first amateur fight was very impressive after he won in 17 seconds by knockout. This is going to be his first professional fight and his debut in FARTMMA.
Yago "Overthrower" Steve was taken from his father Chris Steve when he was very young and taken to England to train at Riga (http://www.mmatycoon...c.php?gmid=4229) the famous London gym owned by Donald Trump (http://www.mmatycoon...hp?MgrID=119681). He has won by both submission and knock out and was briefly trained by Laz Staz (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=82447) before Ibrahim Camara (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=118287) picked him up.
Both of these fighters are undefeated and are highly trained. Its really anyone's game here. It will most likely be a stand up fight but both combatants are comfortable on the ground. This is one fight I will be watching because one of these fighters is going to earn there first loss.
-[Middle Weight Division]- Bung Popper (8-6-0) VS Kalle Kossu (3-1-0)
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340045
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=342263
Bung "Hitman" Popper won his first 3 amateur fights with a decision and two knock out kicks to the head of his opponent. He first appeared in FARTMMA 11 when he lost to Streicher "Spanner" Voges (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340168). He rebounded with a knock out of the night award during "The Rise of Venom" at FARTMMA 16. He was then signed to Rapid Fighting Championship (http://www.mmatycoon...ic.php?oid=5564) and has won and lost in a pattern like binary. He was dropped by his original manager Grumpy Bastard (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=102643) and picked up by Pajkatt Lille (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=95899). A strong striker with 7 knock outs and 1 decision.
Kalle Kossu is best known for his ability to keep fighting. He is an exceptionally accurate striker and although he won his first fight by knock out he has won by decision on 2 separate occasions. He is coming off of a loss by decision against Maki Tantor (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340541) during FARTMMA 61.
This is an interesting match up. Kalle doesn't have the finishing power of Popper. Kalle doesn't have as much experience. But Kalle is extremely hard to knock out and it will be interesting to see if Bung Popper can find his target. If it goes the full time Kalle will most likely win this by decision. But it only takes one shot from Bung to end this fight. This will come down to striking defense.
-[Heavy Weight Division]- Miro Tynkkynen (6-1-1) VS Lenny Kowalski (4-1-0)
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341622
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340794
Miro Tynkkynen is the son of the former Imperial Heavy Weight and Infinity Super Heavy Weight Champion Rauno Tynkknyn. He is a professional wrestler and formidable boxer and kick boxer. He currently holds a Blue belt in ju-jitsu. With his family farm at risk of filing for bankruptcy he decided to take an amatuer fight in the QFC in the hopes to make some money and retain his heritage. His first appearance during FARTMMA 24 was an absolute slug fest against Raging Bitch (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340363). Over the years he has beaten such talents as Frank Castle (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=342984) and Venom Killer (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340643). He was once in rivalry with Giampaolo Turturro (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=341876) with his first fight during FARTMMA 52 ending in an unprecedented draw. His rematch with Giampaolo Turturro ended with a knee to the head in the second round. He had a title shot which he lost during FARTMMA 61 against Anthony Romeo (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=343680) who threw a counter right hook when Miro came in for a clinch attempt. No matter how this fight turns out I am sure that he has already made enough to save his farm.
Lenny "The Stump" Kowalski is a true Mixed Martial Artist having been trained in all 4 disciplines. He focuses on submissions and has been awarded with a fight of the night award for his match against Denis "Hurricane" Mamaev (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340762). It was his only loss. It was a brutal fight which lasted for 3 rounds until he was rocked with a brutal high kick to the head. He has also fought Raging Bitch and Frank Castle and forced both of them into submission. He has won by kimura, americana, arm triangle, and rear naked choke showing just how deadly he can be on the mat. Almost all of his fights were over in the first round from submission and he was able to takedown every single opponent he has fought.
This is going to be a striker versus sniper. It will all come down to striking defense and take down defense. If Miro can stay standing I have no doubt that Miro will win, either by decision or knock out. But, if Mira can't stuff the shoot and ends up on the ground this fight could be over in seconds. While Miro certainly has an interesting back story and more experience in the octagon I am favoring Lenny to win by submission in the first round. I just don't see Miro being able to stand up if he hits that mat and I am sure he will hit that mat eventually. In order for Miro to win he is going to have to counter strike the take down attempt with devastating accuracy.
-[Middle Weight Division]- Maki Tantor (8-3-0) VS Andy McCallum (8-5-0)
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340541
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340378
Maki Tantor is a professional kick boxer and wrestler who has obtained a purple belt in ju-jitsu. He has been with FARTMMA since event 14, BAD BLOOD. He has incredible stamina with most of his fights going to a decision. He is best known for never being knocked out and the fights he has lost. He fought Teuvo Turunen (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=342929) to a decision during FARTMMA 51 and even though it didn't go in his favor he still won a fight of the night award for the battle.
Andy "The Rebel" McCallum has been with FARTMMA since its conception. He is well known for his explosive striking power with 8 knock outs. He was originally managed by James Listerman (http://www.mmatycoon...php?MgrID=89084) until his tournament loss during event 46 to Erlend Jahr (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=344238) after he was takendown and forced to tap out to an excellent armbar in the first round. He was then picked up from the free agent pool by John Bradshaw (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=110023) who has led him to this fight. Under his management he has won the last two fights and was given this wonderful opportunity.
Although both fighters are fierce competitors I would have to give the advantage to Maki Tantor because he has never been knocked out. While both fighters have excellant records I don't know if The Rebel has the striking power capable of finishing this fight. If it goes to a decision it could be anyone's game but I see a second round knock out in our future.
-[Light Heavy Weight Division]- Kappa Knox (7-3-0) VS John Edmonds (14-7-0)
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340425
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341592
Kappa Knox is an exceptional striker with 7 knock outs who has only been knocked out once in his career. He has gone the full fight 2 times and lost both decisions. He has never been submitted. Starting his career in the GET REKT (http://www.mmatycoon...ic.php?oid=5560) organization where he went undefeated in 3 bouts. He lost a title shot against Prince Anawalla (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340309) to a decision during FARTMMA 21. He had a second chance for the belt when he fought Angelo Moore (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340139) to a knock out in the 4th round during FARTMMA 36. He often knocks out his opponents in the first round but has the endurance to make it to the end of the fight. He has won a fight of the night and knock out of the night award. He is being managed by Gunner Knox (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=104639). Every single member of his family is a formidable fighter trained from a young age.
John "Samurai" Edmonds is simply a beast. He has won by submission 9 times, knock out twice, and 3 decisions. He is an Island fighter who started in Immunity Fighting Alliance (http://www.mmatycoon...ic.php?oid=5568). Before he left the island he had a record of 11-6-0. During his time on the island he had a minor rivalry with Luther "Limpy" Jackson (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341787) who he fought 3 times and won only once. After leaving the Island he joined us during FARTMMA 41 and has a record of 3-1-0 under our banner. He is being managed by Ringo Star (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=122810) who owns the Team Beta Fail (http://www.mmatycoon.com/gympublic.php?gmid=4205) gym.
This is such a close match up. Kappa will try to keep this fight standing while Samurai will want to take it to the ground. That won't be an easy task because Kappa has strong takedown defense. There is a chance that john takes this to the clinch early and often to remove some of Kappas knockout power and make it easier to bring him to the ground. Overall I could not make a prediction about this fight. These fighters are evenly matched and either one has the potential to end this standing up, on the ground, or by decision. Its going to be war.
-[Super Heavy Weight Division]- Downwith Drago (12-6-0) VS Kyle Cobra (20-4-0)
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341509
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341789
Downwith Drago is a professional wrestler who has won a fight of the night and knock out of the night award. He started on the Island under the management of Valentina's Ass (http://www.mmatycoon...hp?MgrID=110608) and fought in the Immunity Fighting Alliance (http://www.mmatycoon...ic.php?oid=5568) where he has a record of 10-4-0 with the majority of his wins due to knock out and even submitted Turd McPherson (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=341840) once. After receiving a cut during FARTMMA 44 while fighting Itt Addams (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=341529) he was dropped by Valentina and picked up by Chris Rogan (http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=86496). He has a FARTMMA record of 2-2-0.
Kyle "Snake Lord" Cobra is a professional wrestler who has a long record with 24 fights. He fought two amateur fights before being signed to Alcatraz beatdown (http://www.mmatycoon...ic.php?oid=5567). He was on a 7 win streak winning several awards before being stopped by Tyson James (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341485) in a fight of the night. During the rematch he was again defeated by knock out. After the next loss he was picked up by Immunity Fighting Alliance (http://www.mmatycoon.com/orgpublic.php?oid=5568) and went on to break his win streak record with a 12 win streak. He won the island tournament, beat Drago by knock out in IFA to take the belt, and beat Newbie Guide (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=341974) for the belt in FARTMMA 56 before losing it to the monster Techno Viking (http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=340154) to end his win streak.
These fighters have fought before on the Island for the IFA championship belt where Kyle won by knock out in the first round (http://www.mmatycoon...php?FTID=966088). Kyle is definitely favored here. This is a rematch and I am sure Drago wants to redeem himself. I really haven't' seen a lot of training out of Drago though. This will most likely be a repeat of the IFA fight with a first round knock out.
