Fight fans in Saint Petersburg are in for a treat this Monday night when Blaze MMA presents Round 2 of the Middleweight Tournament. 8 exciting fights are on tap as 4 fighters will move on to the semifinals after this big event at Hayashi’s Lounge before a frenzied crowd of Russian fight fans. We caught up with a young contender from Detroit, Elay Arson who was partying with the Russian Village Boys at a club downtown and he gave us his picks and insight for the big event. Reflecting on his personal thoughts leading to this event Arson commented, “I’ve had a solid camp at Underground Rio in Brazil leading into this event. There are some ground game specialists in this tournament and you go to train with the best and raise your game. I’m taking tonight to chill out and party with the most fun musical group in all of Russia tonight – maybe shoot a live video for YouTube who knows but come Monday it’s all work when I hit that cage.” In the opening fight Khabib Chimaev (0-0-1) and Ben Hornby (0-1-1) have a redo after their last bought was a draw. Chimaev was thrashing Hornby in the first two rounds, the last round was all Hornby. I don’t know about a 10-8 for Hornby to cause a draw but I’m a fighter not a judge. Don’t leave it in the hands of the judges and you won’t have to blame anyone for a loss or a draw. That all said I think Hornby comes in and executes that round three gameplan and wins with a smothering ground game. Unfortunately these guys don’t like to bang and the crowd rarely gets fired up for a wrestling match. Hornby by decision. The second match with Matt Hughes (3-1) and Scotty DeGuardio (1-1) will most likely see a finish. DeGuardio won his last fight via submission event though he is only a white belt, but Hughes is a far superior BJJ practitioner with his purple belt. Like I said I have had to work on my ground game coming into this tourney and it’s because of guys like Hughes. I see this quickly going to the ground and not working out for Scotty if it goes there. As much as it pains me to predict here unless Scotty keeps this standing I think he gets submitted here. Hughes by submission. I don’t know anything about either of the fellas in the third fight. Demetrius Cadmo and Tut Kaman are both making their debuts. From what I have heard they are both solid wrestlers with ground focused styles but Cadmo has better jiu jitsu. The gambler in me would say that the wrestler will find himself in trouble if he ends up on his back. I’ll say Cadmo by submission. The next fight has one of the most dangerous guys in this tournament Carcareh Catartes comes in at 3-1 and all his finishes have come via KO. I especially like that Cartates knocked out Matt Hughes and never allowed a takedown so far in his career. This is a guy I’d like to face off with to test my chin against a powerful dude. He’s facing off against Martins Voranovskis (1-0) who had a nice submission victory in the first round of the tourney but I don’t think he has the wrestling to take down Catartes. Carartes will keep his opponent at range and eventually land a shot that will end this fight. Catartes by KO and most likely KO of the night. My opponent Gaidar Nabiev (1-0) scored a slick guillotine victory over his first tourney opponent. I think I have slicker wrestling then Nabiev and my ground game is solid. I still think that is where I can improve the most, I’ve been submitted in grappling tourneys and I can’t say I like being in a position where my jitsu has to save me. I’m not going to give my game plan away but I can say I plan to and predict I will win this fight and advance to the final four. Vitor Donato (0-0) is a fill in opponent and I know he has a big size advantage over Ryan Williams (1-0). Williams chin was not tested in his first pro fight where he used his superior wrestling to take the fight to the mat where he pummeled his opponent. Donato will have to use his size to keep the fight at range or he will find himself on his back being rained on with elbows and fists. I’ll have to go with Williams here, he has proven he can get in there and brawl. Williams by TKO. The co-main event – well I know both these guys and since they are from the same “camp” I’m not sure they wanted to fight each other but that’s the breaks in tournaments. Both Dobs Breckin (1-1) and Vladimir Zhanna (1-1) have tasted victor and defeat in the cage with their victories coming by KO. Breckin is a big puncher and will have to keep this fight standing in my opinion to win. Zhanna scored a lucky head kick in his last fight and then overwhelmed his foe with superior ground and pound. I think Breckin has watched the tape and will keep this one on the feet at all costs and protect himself from the freak high kick. If this turns into a boxing match which is what I am predicting it will be Breckin with his arm raised in the end. I’ll say Breckin by KO in 2. The main event features Darrion McKee (1-0) and Freddy Salamanca (1-1) and while I get the excitement over this McKee fella the Catartes/Voranovskis or Hughes/DeGuardio fight should have headlined this card. No I’m not bitter, I’m not ready for a main event but Blaze is trying to hype this clown McKee as their anointed champion before the tournament even started and that’s some old fashioned bullshit and I’m going to call it as I see it. You know I want Salamanca to win this fight but I wouldn’t lay a bet on it you know what I’m saying. I went to Rio to work my ground game because my manager said this tourney was stacked so McKee would make it to the finals. I’m not saying anything is fixed or anything but if I was betting I’d wager on their golden boy. Tickets are still available at the Hayashi box office!
