The second event hosted by Wolves Fighting Championship will kick off with a light-heavyweight bout between versatile Brayden Green (1-2) and boxer Charlie Simmer (0-0). If Green can take and hold Simmer down, it could be a long evening for Simmer.

Next up is Cristian Alvarez (3-3) fighting Yannick Diomande (0-0), in the Bantamweight division. This one looks to be a straightforward grappler versus striker matchup.

In the welterweight division, Ridley Scott (0-1) will face Darwin Underwood (0-0). This fight looks very even, with both fighters sharing a similar skill set. Underwood will have a good reach advantage and using this to its full potential will be key for him.

Moving on to the lightweight division, Ty Little (0-0) will look to open his career with a win against the also debuting Nick Mullen (0-0). Little has the boxing prowess, while Mullen has a skill advantage in the wrestling and BJJ.

An interesting match-up in the Featherweight division follows, Tommy Bennett (0-0) will take Alex Bactya (1-0) on. Bennett will have a boxing advantage, while Bactya has shown strong wrestling and  BJJ skills.

Returning to the welterweight division, Pakastani fighter Lala Payash (1-0) will fight Chechen scrapper Islam Aliyev (1-0). These two fighters are remarkably well matched, and could be a real firefight.

In the co-main event at Middleweight Eomer Greydorian (2-1) is fighting Apollo Rocky (5-2) in which it appears Rocky has the overall advantage in both skills and experience but this is MMA, and Greydorian will be looking to make his name off a win over Rocky here.

The main event features another fight at Middleweight, as Sugawara Ichirou (6-2) will look to extend his record against Victor Edwards (1-0), who will be up against it to get a result. Anything can happen in the cage though, and this fight will conclude WFC’s second ever event.

Writer’s fight to watch: I fancy Payash and Aliyev to produce a sparkling contest. I could make a case for either fighter to win, but I can’t separate them, so I’ll go for a second round finish… from either man!
