-[Middle Weight Division]- TJ Minchew (2-4-0) VS Andrei Voronov (6-5-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=349390
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340560

TJ "Teej" Minchew is a sniper with a purple belt in Ju-Jitsu. After a 2-2-0 record in the QFC he joined FARTMMA during event 48. He has lost both his professional bouts. He has only been knocked out once in his career though. Most of his fights end in decision. He has stamina and some decent ground skills but ultimately I feel he hasn't trained enough.

Andrei "AngryBird" Voronov is a kick boxer with superb boxing and wrestling skill along with a purple belt in Ju-Jitsu. He is a fighter that has seen a lot of opportunity for upward movement but has never achieved such heights. His history shows he barrels through lower level competition and stalls out against big threats. He is highly trained and has great potential.

This fight is unusual for a starting card. While both fighters are not new, both have discouraging records. Its easy to see that Andrei has a clear advantage standing. Teej is a sniper going against a striker that is just as good on the ground as he is. I definitely favor Angry Bird here.

-[Light Weight Division]- Phillip Terrell (0-3-0) VS Gabriel Gracie (3-1-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=347746
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341202

Phillip "Filthy" Terrell is a kickboxer with a basic understanding of boxing and a solid ground game. He has never won a fight and has been submitted twice. For him this is about proving that he deserves to be here.

Gabriel Gracie has never been knocked out or submitted. He has been awarded with the sub of the night for his fight against George Backman (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=348087) with an americana during FARTMMA 49.

Gabby is going to walk through this guy like the finish line was made of toilet paper. He is just the superior fighter. On paper Filthy Phil looks solid but he just doesn't seem to perform well and Gabriel Gracie does.

-[Super Heavy Weight Division]- Big Blue Lou (3-1-0) VS Ispa Murhapuro (7-3-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=350674
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=343614

Big Blue Lou "Boyle" is a disgraced police officer who was originally trained by Big Nog. There are rumors he has an extensive night life. While there is no way to confirm these reports he is certainly not as highly trained as other fighters I have seen at his age. He is an exceptional sniper and is becoming a well known rising star since his debut here at FARTMMA during event 53.

Ispa Murhapuro is a highly trained weapon of destruction. He can not be classified as his style changes according to his opponents strength and weaknesses. He has won by knock out and submission and has never went the full time in a fight. He once beat the legendary Furnum Pullum (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=342112) to win the belt but lost it to Newbie Guide (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=341974) the very next fight.

While Boyle is definitely the underdog in this match up, he is not a stepping stone. Big Blue is a proven sniper going up against a machine who has been to the pearly gates but was unable to hold his title at the peak of his game. I would have to give Ispa the advantage here.

-[Light Heavy Weight Division]- Hector Villaba (8-6-0) VS Gatekeeper Devil (3-7-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=344991
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=343363

Hector "The Speed Runner" Villaba is a boxer with a decent understanding of wrestling. He likes to stand and bang and has won 7 of his fights by knock out. While he has won a fight of the night award in the past he is currently very stressed after losing his last three fights.

Gatekeeper "Satanas" Devil is a highly decorated loser. Out of his 10 fights he has only won 3. While each fight he won has gotten him some kind of award his track record is abysmal. After being knocked out and submitted on numerous occasions he is currently on a 3 loss streak and is understandably upset about his losses.

Hector wants to keep this fight standing and for good reason. While Devil has the training advantage he has proven to be less then a sure bet. This fight could go either way but I would have to give the advantage to Hector here purely because he has a proven track record.

-Light Heavy Weight Division]- Walter Hartwell White (2-0-0) VS Kenny Smith (3-2-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=348876
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=347209

Walter "Heisenberg " Hartwell White took FARTMMA by storm when he knocked out Von Pong (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=349202) in the first 30 seconds of his debut match with a superman punch.

Kenny Smith had a rocky start after losing his first two matches. Since then he has been on a 3 win streak and has won an award for knock out of the night every single time. He is definitely a rising star.

Both these fighters are very early in there careers and highly trained. They are both strikers with formidable skills. This is an excellant match up and should be a close fight that might even make it to a judges decision. I am personally looking forward to this fight.

-[Light Heavy Weight Division]- Von Pong (0-3-0) VS Block Buster (1-0-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=349202
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=354423

Von Pong has never won a fight. He has been submitted and knocked out. While it is still early in his career he really needs to take an in depth look at his strategy.

Block "Boobie" Buster is making his debut at FARTMMA after knocking out Nando Holjevac (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=354263) during his first amateur fight. He holds a purple belt in Ju-Jitsu and has a decent understanding of kickboxing.

Neither one of these fighters deserve to be this high up on the card. They are both unproven fighters and are not as highly trained as other warriors in FARTMMA. And while it is assuredly a fair match it really boggles my mind how this fight ended up anywhere but the first fight of the night. This is the perfect fight to get something to eat and drink before the main events.

-[Light Heavy Weight Division]- Johnny Bronco (12-3-0) VS Bobby Knuckles (6-2-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340688
VS
http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340404

Johnny "The Cowboy" Bronco is a former Light Heavy Weight Division champion who defended his belt on 5 different occasions. He ended up losing it to Izzy "Bang Bang" Bangin (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340093) to decision after 5 rounds of brutal fighting. He had a second chance at the belt last fight against Angelo "Lying Ass Bitch" Moore (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340139) but lost by decision again. He has never been knocked out or submitted. He is a true champion whether he currently holds the belt or not.

Bobby Knuckles is a formidable fighter who has only lost twice, both times by decision. This fight for him is to prove that he isn't just a great fighter, but one of the best. For Bobby, this is a pivotal fight in his career.

This is your classic striker vs sniper match up. The Cowboy is an obvious favorite here but both fighters have never been knocked out or submitted. With all the information give n to me, I see this fight going to a decision. It should come down to accuracy and aggression. If Johnny can take it to the mat he has a slight advantage but in the long run, if it does come down to a decision, Bobby has a good chance of walking away with the win because strikers often fair better on the score cards then snipers.

-Light Weight Division]- Randy Drought (9-3-0) VS Capt Sully (4-5-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=342949
VS


http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340022

Randy Drought is a kickboxer with an impressive record. He is a former Olympic Gold Medalist and Feather Weight Champ. Since changing managers we have seen two back to back wins. Chucky Duran (http://www.mmatycoon...php?MgrID=49038) is his new manager. While new to the game, his currently monthly record 14-3-0, showing that he has gotten the hang of it.

Capt Sully is an exceptionally well trained athlete well known for his excellent striking skills. He has also recently changed managers. Billbert McFluffin (http://www.mmatycoon...hp?MgrID=126374) is focused on grappling. His track record is disgusting but he has managed to make enough money to open his own gym Star Studded Beef (http://www.mmatycoon...c.php?gmid=4359) in Los Angeles, California. Since Sully started training with Bill he has lost twice but is hoping to turn that around this fight.

These two fighters are both exceptional but are currently going through some huge changes. Different managers, different gyms, moving cities, etc.... Its hard to tell how that will effect their performances. They definitely deserve this slot on the card but its hard to tell who really has the advantage here.

-[Super Heavy Weight Division]- Simon Udovich (9-7-0) VS Shaquille ONeal (6-11-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=310981
VS


http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=331577

"The Titan of Uršlja Gora" Simon Udovich is a professional kick boxer and ferocious MMA fighter. He is known for his super aggressive and relentless style of striking. Muay Thai fighter through and through with his "Always Forward" mentality. I have seen him take hits that would have knocked out a lesser man and continue his steady advance as if a drop of water had hit him. It is like watching Jason Voorhees slow walk towards a camper. He is not invincible but determined and tough. Those of you who have survived the first three months of traditional Muay Thai training will understand.

Shaquille "Shaq" ONeal is a professional kick boxer with a record that proves he needs more gym time. He comes from a traditional boxing background and is currently on a streak with 5 losses. He really needs to turn his career around. While definitely up for the challenge its hard to believe someone else didn't deserve this more.

This is a straight up kick boxing match with a huge advantage given to Simon. I am excited to see this fight but am unable to see a future where Shaq isn't beaten within an inch of his life.

-[Heavy Weight Division Championship Defense]- Pauke Murhapuro (6-3-0) VS Bleeding Spanner (9-1-0)

http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=342649
VS


http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340513

Pauke Murhapuro is probably the most highly trained sniper we have seen come through the FARTMMA organizations doors in a long time. He is a highly awarded fighter who has earned his right to step into the octagon with the champ. One of the few grapplers who I have seen win decision against a proven striker. Don't let his record fool you. He is absolutely capable of knocking someone out in the stand up game or on the mat. He is truly a joy to watch work.

Bleeding Spanner is a machine. There is no way to say this nicely. He is simply a marvel. He has only lost once in his entire career and that was too another giant of FARTMMA Boomerang Farts (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=340052). This is his fourth title defense since winning the belt from "Mr. Sauce" Haise Sasaki (http://www.mmatycoon....php?FID=342669) during FARTMMA 37. He wins through technique and speed. With exceptionally high striking defense and accuracy it is hard to picture him getting hit, let alone being knocked out.

This is a classic sniper against striker match up. Pauke has the opportunity to take the belt away from Spanner if he can connect with his strikes and get him off balance enough to put him on the mat. That is easier said then done though. Spanner has proven time and time again that he can predict the big strikes and not only avoid them, but counter strike against them faster then his opponent can anticipate. While I highly favor Spanner in this match up, its very clear that no one can predict this outcome.
