 145lbs Title Fight - Sharp witted striker and Geezers featherweight champ Konstantin Snegov is set to defend his title against the seemingly indestructible Danny Tatum, a masterful grappler with a concrete chin. This is Snegovs first title defense since claiming the throne with a swift and decisive knockout just a few weeks ago. The challenger presents a very unique threat to the champion who has shown deficiencies in his submission defense in the past. Tatum is a hardened grappler with a rich base in wrestling and jiu jitsu and rarely intends to strike with his opponents, opting to close the distance and utilize his world class ground skills. Snegov has a daunting advantage in the stand up realm and is very much capable of a finish if he remains in his preferred domain.

After being rocked by Machins heavy hands, McDonald was able to clear the cobwebs and dish out a marvelous beating in the clinch forcing a ref stoppage and securing an epic comeback. McDonald will surely be looking to replicate his dominance in the clinch and avoid the destructive punching abilities of Machin. Don't expect much ground fighting in this one as both gladiators are very confident in their world class skills on the feet.

Axe has enjoyed all of his success as a striker and his best chance at victory remains on the feet where he is comfortable.

Minerals is 8 years the elder and has some sickening muay thai skills and crippling power to supplement his arsenal. His knockout rate is highly impressive and he is coming off of 2 crushing defeats so he is fired up and is looking for redemption. Smooth technique is what JorJovsky is all about and he boasts an equally impressive finishing rate utilizing his beautiful submission skills. Neither fighter wants any part of each others strengths and whoever controls where the fight takes place has a good chance of domination.
170lbs - Underrated dark horse Melvin Manhoef plans on extending his 3 fight knockout streak as he prepares for battle with crafty grappling stud Randon Rett.

If he is unable to take the fight to the ground he will have some serious problems. In the spirit of the underdog let us all knock on wood for this brave young warrior.
