CFC 525 Event Preview


 
Welcome CFC fight fans to the second event of the weekend coming to you live from the Hard Knocks in Montreal as we present to you CFC 525.  This one is topped off with a Welterweight Championship fight and yes, once again that clown Louie is up to his old hijinx once again.  Why is it so hard for this guy to count, who approved that event poster with a past event #?  Clownshow!!   Advanced ticket sales tell us we should be expecting upwards of 3000 crazed Canadian Fight Fans to be in attendance for this one.    As always make sure you run down to PWNAGE™ located on the Los Angeles stop of the High Street for all your Fighters clothing needs to ensure their morale is recovered quickly and maintained, don't let your fake little guys wallow in dirty or pretend magical threads as that only brings them down and stunts their ability to learn in the gym and perform in the cage!  Also a key point is to fulfill their supplement needs to slow down their energy loss during those grueling training sessions, or to boost their cardio and strength workouts there is no better place than White Gorilla located right here on Montreal's stop on the High Street!!

Main Event - 170 lbs Championship  Convicted Kelly vs Junior Seto
 
CFC 525’s tree topper tonight sees undefeated and still relatively unknown superstar Convicted Kelly looking to defend the title he won just 2 weeks ago taking on a veteran of CFC Junior Seto.  Kelly wiped out another CFC veteran at CFC 521 and heavily favored grappler Edmond Chabazian snapping his 6 fight win streak and adding gold to his name by way of doctors stoppage due to a nasty nasty cut on his opponent.  Some say Kelly is predictable however even so he gets the job done and always in dramatic fashion! Seto on the other hand seems to have been destined for a shot at the belt, and some consider him late to the party after being stunned by BJ Penncil at CFC 517.  Prior to that match he was a freight train looking to run head on into anyone who stood before him however on that night he was stunned early in the first round, a result I am told obviously does not sit well with him and is looking to make up for it tonight!   Kelly is a pretty boy, with a family lineage that not many would boast of, however he is the exception to this rule and is not afraid to flaunt his cousins fame (and infamy if you will) as he fights in his honor and to date he has done very well for himself, mind you should he ever go down the path of that “R” character given his pretty face, I expect the boasting to stop and the begging to begin toot suite!!  Kelly does not possess much of a standup attack, preferring to rely solely on his clinch game where he attempts well over 40 strike attempts per fight and is successful roughly 50% of the time, and that's all he needs especially with those elbows… when he slices and dices look out he will leave you scarred for life!  Seto is also very one dimensional as he also does not have a striking game to call his own either, it's the takedown game he runs with landing at just under 30% of his attempts and once on the ground though not overly efficient, all that matters is 6 of his fights have ended with his opponent crying in agony due to an overstretched limb or having the life sucked out of them in a choke hold requiring the referee to save them.  This one isn't easy to call, we have to throw our money at the Champ but dayum if Seto gets this one to the ground, we may see a new Champs hand raised tonight!
   
Co-Main Event - 265+ lbs Nicandro Aloisio vs Robert Monson
 
Aloisio comes into our Co Main Event as the clear underdog in both size and skill but Munson has in the past shown the ability to give that advantage right back to his dance partner.  Wait a second…these guys train at the same damn gym…did he…good golly miss molly Drunk Louie has tried to pull the wool over our eyes once again.  Does this guy have a clue, or any form of professional pride at all?  He needs to get his shit together man these matchups are going to tarnish the good name of CFC and its legacy!  Surely he can do better matchmaking then this, no?  Why is he so damn focused on the bottom line, its just a game….uhhhh… I mean an entertainment event who cares if he loses gate.  Nope I am not talking about this one any further this clown show will not be discussed…. 
 
185 lbs James Aregood vs Freaky Frank
 
Next up in our Middleweight division we have undefeated James Aregood making his second CFC appearance in a one week span facing off against amateur phenom and CFC newcomer Freaky Frank and his five and oh record.   Aregood is another clinch specialist who averages an amazing 90 head punch strike attempts per fight, even though he lands at less than 50% his opponents still absorb just over 40 punches within the clinch per fight.   On the other hand, Freaky Frank seems fairly one dimensional throwing only punches at range with not nearly the kind of volume he will be facing tonight.  Makes you wonder if he has a secret clinch game hidden he has yet to show the world?  What he does possess is a clear and present danger to knock you the eff out and a Granite chin to back it up.  We will have to see if Aregood’s Heavy Hands cause more trouble for Franks Granite chin or if Aregood has the chin to stand behind his power.  To date it has not been tested so tonight is most likely the night we find out.  
 
185 lbs David Lett v Adam Lenz
 
Staying within the Middleweight Division we have a pair of fighters squaring off with identical three wins and one loss records.  Both prefer to rely on their Brazilian Jiu Jitsu game but on this night we aren't sure if Lenz’s depression meds are working to keep him focused.  Lett lands 60% of his takedown attempts and from there he works a fairly decent ground game mixing advance attempts and a whopping 13+ submission tries, perhaps if he focused more on gaining the dominant position and less on just flailing around looking to land a submission he might just improve on that 4% success rate.  Lenz is a bit of an odd duck I would say, not sure if its his coaching or he just doesn't have the mind for the fight game, but relying mainly on punch combos and head kicks to go along with his takedowns just doesn't seem like a recipe for victory, more like a recipe for disaster, no?  Mind you he does land an astounding 89% of his takedowns from range and 100% from within the clinch.  Once he gets you there he evenly spreads out his offense by gaining the dominant position, softening his opponent up with ground strikes and then boom before they know it the submission is locked in and they are begging for mercy!  On paper we feel Lenz has this one sewn up BUT then you look at that morale and just shake your head…This will likely be his downfall tonight. 
 
265 lbs Jed Hall v Herminos Lugnunum
 
Rounding out our Main Card is young superstar in the making Jed Hall facing off against veteran of the QFC circuit Herminos Lugnunum.  Hall is a wrassler with a Granite chin who brings a nasty ground and pound game to the cage having enjoyed a 93% success rate with his ground strikes and a 100% success rate when it comes to ending opponents nights early.  Lugnunum is also a talented wrassler who holds the age and experience advantage over Hall with a very similar game plan in place.  Lugnunum has yet to see beyond the first round of any fight however we don't know if the “good” chin he brings to the cage has been tested to date against an opponent with Halls power.  We also wonder if the ginormous weight loss program Lugnunum has been on over the past will have any negative effect on his gameplan.  This one will sure kick off our main card with nothing but fireworks and we feel whoever is first to land that takedown into a dominant position will have the clear advantage, will either guy have the ability to reverse such a fortune, we won't know until the cage door closes in on them tonight!
