 DMMA 163 Puno vs Panda Preview

                    

 

Dynasty MMA has finally made their way to Wombley Arena, and this Sunday Night in London promises not to Disappoint the London Faithful! This Event is loaded with Champions and Former Champions. The Main Event of the Evening is a champ vs champ in fact as SHW champion KT Panda will be only the Third man to attempt winning a Championship in two divisions. Standing in his way though is the new King of Heavyweight and possibly the most Devastatingly Dominant fighters of the year in Adan Puno. In the Co-Main we will see a Rematch for the Bantamweight championship as Current champ Marko Kersikov defends against the man who beat him in his first Bantamweight championship attempt Maurits Assndrop. Let's not forget the 4 time, 4 time, 4 time, 4 time, Featherweight champ Renji Abarai is here as his drive for 5 starts this Sunday night in London.

 

Prelims

265+ Hector Gray vs Hero Primo

265    Sheikh Mahmut vs Patrick Turgeon

135     Lou Gotch vs Alex Barnes

265+ Joshua Floyd vs Vlastimil Vyr

155     Galen Dall Jr vs Kra Hang

 

                   Main Card

                          Welterweight Division

                   Ralph Hall   vs  Segundo Garcia

Kicking off the Main Card Former Middleweight champ Segundo Garcia is welcomed to his new division against BJJ Ace Ralph Hall.

Ralph "The Wizard" Hall has had a very nice 2022 but it was ended with a unfortunate loss to current WW champ Gustav Harakka in a Title Elimination fight. Hall was on a 4 fight wins streak prior to that fight though. one of which was his only Decision victory ever against Marcus Alexander. The BJJ Black Belt has 15 Submission victories to his credit and i would assume he will have his Ground Wizardry on full display for DMMA 163. 

Former Middleweight Champion has decided to seek a world title in a new Division as he moves down to 170 pounds. HIs title capturing performance over Kareem Johnson in October was something to behold, as Kareem quickly took a 4 round lead and looked to have the fight locked up, when out of nowhere Garcia took over the fight. First opening a cut on Johnson then landing a overhand right that had him rocked, which set up a picture-Perfect Head Kick that sent Kareem to the mat lick a sack of Prime and great tasting Idaho potatoes. 

Segundo has only been Submitted once in his career while Hall is prone to getting KO'd so the Wizard wants none of the standup here. All I know is the duo has 14 Performance bonuses, 7 a piece so this fight should be Fire!

 

             Super Heavyweight Division

          Puncher Face   vs   Tony Viikinki

We move to the Super Beast division next or better known as "We got the Beef" Division where two former victims of the Panda will square off as they both look to get back in title contention. 

Puncher "Powerful" Face has bounced back in style. since his defeat to KT Panda with a Unanimous Decision victory over Alistair Ubereem last month. Face is also a former two-time Title Challenger in the SMASH 265+ division, where he has a win over KT's much older brother Full Time Panda. We have seen a lot of Puncher Face going the Distance, but what we want to see is the Old Puncher who was sending his opponents into orbit with KO's .

Tony Viikinki has almost matched Puncher Face's Knockouts with 9 to his 11, as the 24-year-old looks to add Face to his list. Much like his foe Viikinki lost a 5 rounder to champ KT Panda as well. This was Tony's only Decision of his career, and in fact only the second fight that made it out of the first round. A former Bellicose 265+ Title Challenger Viikini now will seek his third chance at the belt if he can get past a game Striker in Puncher Face this weekend.

Both of these guys have nasty KO abilities and know how to put on a show for the fans. Puncher Face though has shown he likes to pace himself more in his recent fights so we may see this drag out to a Decision. I say give the fans what they want though, and they want blood!

 

                   Featherweight Division

          Renji Abarai     vs    Bam Bam Joshy

Dynasty Hall of famer Renji Abarai meets a rising prospect at Featherweight in Bam Bam Joshy next with Title implications on the line.

Renji now sits at 14 championship fights in his 19 fight DMMA career thus far. His most recent title loss to Sean O Malley was the first time he has ever been TKO'd in his career, but perseverance is in Abarai's blood. "Champ" will now look to rebound once again and stake his claim for Best Fighter in Dynasty History. Renji will bring his A game this is a fact and I'm sure another Performance bonus is in his thoughts as well as he looks to add #13 to his Cabinet. 

Bam Bam Joshy is now 2-0 here at DMMA and has a chance to not only get himself a title fight for the first time in his career but also beat a true Legend of the Dynasty cage. A winner of 9 of his last ten fights Joshy is also a training partner of the Panda family at the Crapollas Gym . Bam Bam has proven to have the skills to put you away but primarily a of late he is much the same as his opponent in that they look to win in a game of chess rather than go for the kill.

This one could be going the Distance but that is by Far Abarai's game as the elite fighter he is.  Bam Bam may want to utilize his grappling skills and go for a Submission early if he wants to get that title fight.

 

             Co-Main Event

             Bantamweight Championship

 Marko Kersikov   vs     Maurits Assndrop

A rematch for the 135-pound belt once again will play as co-Main as champ Marko looks to defend his title for a second time and avenge a loss to former champ Assndrop in the process.

Marko took out Yoshimitsu Fukumitsu with a "KO of the Night" performance to earn his first championship in his career with an amazing first round 1 punch KO. Marko has gone the distance in the majority of his fights, but his One Punch KO power is still there as seen against Fuku. Marko is now primed to jump one more hurdle in is his MMA journey and to say the runt of a liter has a chip on his shoulder is an understatement. 

Mauritz was the Inaugural Bantamweight champion of the DMMA Bantamweight division where he blitzed through Jean Luc Petit in the first round of their scheduled 5 rounder. He then picked up his first defense against Marko with a 1rst round Submission with just 1 second left in the round. After dropping the belt to Yohimitsu Fukumitsu, Maurits has bounced back with two straight Decision victories thus brings us to this highly anticipated rematch.

Both od the fighters come from storied Fight camps here at Dynasty and the outcome of this fight could be unpredictable IMO. Maurits known for his Standup surely surprised Marko last time out and i can't wait to see what surprise may be in store for this one.

 

          Main Event

          Heavyweight Championship

            Adan Puno  vs  KT Panda

Champion vs Champion in the Main Event in an all-Asian battle of the Mastodons!

Adan Puno has had an amazing run in Dynasty MMA he has quickly cleaned house at Heavyweight here at DMMA. His most notable win may be outside the Organization though as he Mauled former #2 P4P fighter Yago Steve in just 5 seconds on New Years Eve. His victories here at Dynasty are pretty damn impressive as well beating former champ Hjallis Kalske with a third round KO, and then following up with another KO against Jason Hightower inside the first round. Puno has finished his last 6 opponents with KO's and three of them One Punch KO's at that.

In Steps the Inaugural DMMA Superheavyweight champ KT Panda who will have a chance at being the first ever Double Champ here at DMMA. Only Jaxon MaGrath and Camara's Account have tried this so far both falling short will Panda man be the first? None for his Knockout abilities as well, Panda has also recently proved he has the endurance for the championship rounds which is a rarity for his weight class. Panda has already staked his claim as the most dominant 265+ fighter here with 6 straight title defenses now he meets the stiffest test of his career in the Rising star Adan Puno.

If Puno's previous 6 fights are indicator what his plan is, then we are in for a treat ladies and gents. Can Panda derail the potential Super stardom of Adan or will Puno leave another victim on the mat feeling silly? Be at Wombley arena for the show and find out.

Tycoon Judas will be at the gates himself handing out free tickets to all the ladies with big jugs, just show him the boobies and I assure you getting a ticket!
