265lbs - Jack Potatos vs Emeka Shakur
Geezers heavyweight legend Jack Potatos returns to the cage after an epic encounter with Jan Paulsen to take on the ultra talented and world class Emeka Shakur. Riding a silky wave of momentum, Emeka Shakur is coming off one of the greatest finishes in Geezers history in which he finished with a superman punch knockout in the 3rd frame. He came to Geezers after a respectable stint in the NFC and will be striving for uncontested dominance in the heavyweight division. His punching power is simply devastating and he is more than capable of knocking any man out with a clean bungalow to the chops. The man blocking his path to glory is the titanic Jack Potatos, an organizational legend who defies odds and pulls out inspirational performances. He is a striking technician and has gone toe to toe with the some of the greats and even in loss has put up noble efforts. These men have very few holes in their game but a slight striking and experience advantage go to Shakur as he comes into this fight 4 years the elder. Potatos is a scrappy fighter but I predict that Shakur will get the job done and force a ref stoppage via TKO in the 3rd round.
265lbs - Cliff Huxtable vs Kristow Zedski
The jetski Kristow Zedski makes his sixth appearance in Geezers as he welcomes the highly dangerous Cliff Huxtable to the organization in what should be a creamy heavyweight attraction. Huxtable makes his way to Geezers with a stellar resume of knockouts and a large fan following. He is primarily a puncher and supplements his style with frightening defensive wrestling skills which helps him control where the fight takes place. The jetski is a very similar fighter who fell in love with boxing and knocking people's brains around but has developed a potent ground assault which may be the difference maker in the fight. He is also far more experienced than his foe, especially on the ground. This is a good fight not to bet on, but the odds favor Zedski as he has a modest advantage in skill and experience. I believe Zedski will pull it out and win via ground assault TKO in round 2.
185lbs - Veni Domine vs Tom Jones
Notorious Veni Domine makes his way to Geezers all the way from Brazil to take on the stone cold Tom Jones in a middleweight bout that will see the winner take a large step toward the title. These middleweight combatants are fairly new to the organization but are highly skilled and are capable of making a solid run through the division. Jones is fresh off a successful debut in which he dominated from start to finish, looking impressive im almost every facet of the game except his ground offense. Domine is a knockout specialist who favors his devastating punching technique and has notched a stoppage in all but one of his victories. He has shown some serious problems with submission defense in the past but luckily for him his opponent shouldn't threaten him in that domain. This is another very tough fight to predict although I think the youthful Jones will find a way to get the job done and win via Unanimous Decision.
185lbs - Marco Aurelio vs Yushin Okami
The sleezebag Moyses Mattos will hopefully get his ass kicked into oblivion when he takes on Yushin Okami who has karma and good will on his side. Moyses boy Marco Aurelio was knockin out bums back in REF where he was handed easy fights and enjoyed jacking other Goonie members cocks and eating acai out of their assholes in brazil. I hope Okami lands a one two right and sends this gypsy into the netherworld. His record is 12-9 in comparison to Moyses 17-4 fighter. Wow what a joke buddy you're a real gem. Okami is actually semi-underrated and is on a 3 fight win streak in Geezers and actually has some impressive knockouts. He will probably lose but let's just say he'll win via knockout and serve up some much needed justice.
185lbs - Kaimana Kalainawai vs Jim Duggan
Even more middleweight talent makes it's way to the organization as the thoroughly well rounded Kaimana Kalainawai challenges the experienced hacksaw Jim Duggan in a compelling clash of talents. The Island Warrior Kalainawai is a multi talented fighter who has some rare and refreshing submission skills and has many avenues of attack. His opponent is Jim Duggan who he matches up with very, very well. The hacksaw is primarily a stand up fighter and hasn't shown much favoritism to the ground game. The stand up exchange could easily go both ways but the advantage on the ground definitely belongs to Kalainawai. Duggan actually was submitted in June so I'll go out on a limb and say that Kalainawai will submit him in the 3rd frame.
Remaining predictions
170lbs - John Askren vs Boris Pavlov - Askren via UD
265lbs - Katsumi Nasu vs Sylvester Schwarzenegger - Nasu via UD
170lbs - Ali Bang vs Randon Rett - Bang via TKO round 2
