Main Event - 145 lbs Daniel Belyaev vs Mario Yamasaki
Our Main Event of CFC 513 pits a pair midgets in the top spot with both fighters combining for a total of 8 victories against zero defeats thus far in their careers. This will no doubt be a barn burner as both of these guys prefer to rely the power in their fists even though they go about the end game in different fashions. Belyaev is a Wonderful wrestler who to date following 5 amateur matchups has yet to throw a single standing strike attempt of any kind but backs that up with an amazing 80% success rate on his takedowns. Yamasaki, the resident failed MMA referee is making his third trip to a CFC cage tonight where he has won successive KOTN awards, most recently with a devastating KO by way of a Superman punch!! Thus far in his career Yamasaki has been able to stuff 75% of all takedown attempts against him and tonight he will need that skill more than ever! One day in advance it appears though he has yet to taste defeat, Belyaev can almost taste the smell of his fight kit as his morale is under 70%, a factor that will definitely play a pivotal role in the outcome tonight. On the other side Yamasaki’s morale is flying higher than ever but that wont help him with his gas tank that is currently at the 65% mark, he for sure will not want to go into a brawl with a grappler the likes of Belyaev already sucking wind or it will be over and out real quick for him. Who will win out, the better confidence or the full gas tank, tune it tomorrow night to find out!!
Co-Main Event - 170 lbs Junior Seto vs Roy Kalama
Our Co Main Event sees a pair of Welterweights step into the cage coming off victories 2 weeks ago at CFC 509. Seto is a submission specialist with a Granite chin who has won all 4 career fights by way of first round submissions. Kalama comes in having only 1 career fight in which he turned off the lights of a Granite Chin which may not bode well tonight for Seto. In all four of his fights, Seto much like Balyaev before him in the main event has never thrown a standing strike attempt but has enjoyed a 50% success rate on his takedowns at range and 100% from within the clinch, once on the ground he mixes in an equal amount of advances to go with submission attempts, to date he has not attempted any ground strikes. Kalama on the other hand is a Muay Thai fighter who in his only career fight landed well over 80% of his clinch strike attempts, throwing a whopping 66 strikes. His Big Right Hand proved to be lethal after roughing up his opponent and turned the lights out early in round 2. This one will be fireworks for sure as Seto will be focussed on dragging the fight to the ground where he holds the distinct advantage while Kalama will be looking to ragdoll Seto within the clinch en route to knocking Seto into next week. This one will be worth the price of admission for sure and we will see you there!
155 lbs Joe Kamaka vs Don Schneider
Coming at us next we have a Lightweight Muay Thai battle that sees 2-0 Kamaka facing 4-0 Schneider. Kamaka would be considered a CFC veteran as he has won both of his fights within the Fight Company, both by way of TKO Strikes inside of the first round with both following a similar gameplan, get to the clinch and wear down the opponent until the ref steps in to end the fight. Schneider has followed a similar script in his 4 fight streak earning him a QFC Tourney victory. Schneider has higher output within the clinch but does not enjoy nearly as much success as Kamaka which could lead to his undoing in this one as we are very confident both guys will be keen on getting it there, the only question will be who is able to end it once it gets there!! Kamaka holds the slight height/reach advantage however Schneider looks to have him by just a hair in the cardio department, could that be the key here? I personally am wondering if the Granite chin possessed by Schneider will be the difference maker and carry him to victory. Only one way to find out folks, gotta be one of the 6000 paying customers tomorrow to see how this plays out.
265 lbs Ben Rotunno vs Henry Miller
In our next matchup we make a stop in the Heavyweight division, where we see a pair of literal giants facing off against one another. Rotunno is the slightly smaller man based on weight alone which could be a definite speed advantage against the much heavier man. However when you look at these two based on their records, we aren't sure Rotunno is in the right place given his inability to pull off a victory in either of his career fights where in both he succumbed to what can only be called a suspect chin at best. Miller on the other hand is a submission guy ending both of his amateur fights prior to the 2 minute mark by way of taps, will that success continue now that he is stepping into the pro ranks, time will tell. Both of these guys appear somewhat reluctant to change out of their messy and smelly fight kits which could be the key to their downfall tonight. If he knows what's good for him, Rotunno will take advantage of Millers lack of power and virtually non existent striking game to protect his chin because we know if he is able to get the fight to the ground, Miller will have the advantage and it may be another quick over and out for Rotunno. So far in his career Rotunno has been totally skunked so my money’s on him finding a way out of that funk and into the win column. Miller and his Granite chin doesn't appear to be worried in the least and is laser focused on his first Pro win inside the CFC cage!
145 lbs George Hale vs Johnny Kenard
In our final Main Card matchup we head back to the Featherweight division as Hale comes in looking to follow up his dominant debut fight with another clinch raping performance. Where have I seen this before….oh thats right Manager Bob Slay must have cashed in his frequent flyer miles as this is his third fighter on the main card of this event all that have a very similar build and skill set which means nothing but trouble for their opponents. Kenard on the other side brings more of a ground skill background in tonight looking to follow up his pro debut victory at CFC 509. Much like his training partners we have discussed previously, Hale brings a high octane high success rate within the clinch where he grinds down his opponent before shutting off the lights, in his pro debut even a Granite Chin was no match for his power which does not bode well at all for Kenard. For Hale, he will be focused clearly on avoiding the takedown which will be coming at him fast and furious as Kenard averages just under 13 attempts per fight and if successful, he possesses a balanced attack of advancing position, ground strikes and sub attempts. Thus far he has yet to succeed with a submission attempt so maybe he should shift focus away from there to where he enjoys success. I don't think this one will last very long myself as Hales power will simply be too much for Kenard to handle and Hale will once again enjoy victory in the most devastating fashion!
