SPFT 87: Cartman vs. McDonald


 


 


Steel Penn Fighting Temple brings the best action in Hilo once again. In a 7 day span, SPFT brings its second super fight. Eric Cartman and Ronald McDonald will square off to see who the best Welterweight really is. That’s not all the action. There will be 9 other fights that showcase every aspect you could desire in an MMA event. We’ll see takedowns, submissions, KO’s, clinch, elbows, knees and any other holiday beating you can think of. So let’s get the breakdown started .


 


 


Les Paul (14-12)(2-4 SPFT) vs. Sameer Hamadoui (9-9)(0-2 SPFT) @ 145


Both men bring in an all-around approach and will attempt to mix things up to bring victory. However only one man walks out the victor and in this situation it’s going to be whichever can control where the fight takes place.


 


 


Tim Martin (13-12)(1-3 SPFT) vs. Jui Jitsu (8-4)(0-3 SPFT) @ 265+


Tim Martin will be looking for the (T)KO. His tendency leans towards engaging in the clinch and mixing knees with dirty boxing. His opponent has other plans. Jui Jitsu’s strategy… go to the mat, bend his opponents arm until he taps or it breaks.


 


 


Kalash Nikov (12-5-1)(7-4-1 SPFT) vs. Heng Keo (9-4)(SPFT Debut) @ 145


Both fighters bring a very well-rounded attack but it’s going to be the Muay Thai where this fight is interesting. Both fighters have elite Muay Thai and spend a lot of time in the clinch. It won’t be surprising to see this in the clinch, but the real surprise will be who can take advantage of the other and take control of this fight?


 


 


Geronimo Santos (9-7)(6-6 SPFT) vs. Uisce Uisce Beag (11-14)(3-4 SPFT) @ 265+


Geronimo Santos is a Brazilian Jui Jitsu Brown belt who will try to get to the mat as soon as possible and work for the quick submission from there. Uisce is a Kickboxer who supplements his striking with some submission skills as well. Geronimo will want this on the mat, but that’s a tough task as Uisce isn’t going to want to roll with him.


 


 


Hammer Longbird (18-13)(1-4 SPFT) vs. Armas Paisti (13-9-1)(5-5-1 SPFT) @ 185


Hammer Longbird is unpredictable and uses a mixed array of attacks which is much the opposite of his opponent. Armas Paisti knows that his strong area is his punches and that’s what he does. He keeps hi distance mainly and uses his Boxing to turn it into a striking battle.


 


 


Ketsuno Anajo (16-8)(1-1 SPFT) vs. Kevin Bishop (8-4-1)(2-2-1 SPFT) @ 135


Wear and tear mostly describes Ketsuno Anajo. Ketsuno will use leg kicks, head punches and body blows to wear his opponent down and grind out victories. Ketsuno has seen many decisions and has a huge advantage in experience coming into this fight. But let’s not count out Kevin Bishop. Kevin is a Boxer/Wrestler who can finish a fight with his punches, ground and pound or submissions. His greatest asset in this fight will be his takedowns. If he can get the fight to the mat, there’s a great chance he can finish it.


 


 


Tico Cortez (15-6-1)(6-1-1 SPFT) vs. Alexander Lansing (8-3-1)(3-1-1 SPFT) @ 145


Tico Cortez is a kickboxer who doesn’t mind to tie up and dirty box. Since joining SPFT, Tico was on a hot streak that included capturing the Featherweight title and defending it twice. Meat Loaf finally had his number though and handed Tico his first SPFT loss. Since then, Tico took his frustrations out on Zenek Ziemski in his most recent (T)KO victory and will be looking to do the same with Alexander Lansing. Alexander is a Boxing/Jui Jitsu specialist who makes every punch count. He has a bit less experience but Alexander is every bit as dangerous as Tico. Alexander can stand and bang or if the fight ends up on the mat he can use his grappling to manipulate and submit his opponent. A win against former champion Tico could put Lansing on a fast track towards a title shot. Let’s see if he makes the most of it.


 


 


Gor Keyman (18-5)(SPFT Debut) vs. Sergei Bautin (18-11)(4-3 SPFT) @ 265+


Average Joe’s last super heavyweight champion Gor Keyman has come to SPFT to test the waters. The kickboxer has taken the MMA world by storm with 14 (T)KO’s and 1 submission victory in his 18 professional wins. Gor has great instincts and will need them against SPFT veteran Sergei Bautin. Sergie’s boxing has led him to 16 (T)KO’s in his 18 professional wins and he’ll be looking to make it (T)KO number 17. On paper this fight looks a lot like Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Red vs. Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Blue! Two striker willing to stand there and brawl until the others head pops off. I guess the only question is whose head will pop off first?!


 


 


Gab Jay-ar (12-4)(3-3 SPFT) vs. Butt Piracy (12-5)(1-1 SPFT) @ 265+


Gab Jay-ar takes a ruthless approach that involves taking his opponents down quick and using submission attempt after submission attempt to catch his opponent in a bad position and end the fight fast. In Gab’s 12 wins, every fight has ended via first round submission. He has his hands full as he takes on Butt Piracy. Piracy is a dirty boxing enthusiast who uses the clinch to keep his opponents from running away and then batters them with punches, elbows and knees. Out of his 12 wins, 11 have been from (T)KO. This is a fight where blinking is advised against. On the ground or on the fight, there’s a high chance of this fight ending early and in highlight fashion.


 


 


(SPFT WW Champion) Eric Cartman (24-10)(5-2 SPFT) vs. (GP WW Champion) Ronald McDonald (20-8)(SPFT Debut) @ 170


After recently toppling the mountain known as Chul Moo Pak, Eric Cartman looks to add to his portfolio of victims. While his skill set is supports good striking it’s no secret that his ground game is his where he’s most comfortable. He’s an elite wrestler who uses his black belt in Brazilian Jui Jitsu to gain dominant positions and pound his opponents face into hamburger meat. There’s no doubt that he’ll want to do the same against the Muay Thai master Ronald McDonald.


 


Ronald McDonald’s sandman-esque style can put any man to sleep at any moment in a fight. His kicks have provided a great setup to initiate the clinch and decimate opponents with a mixture of brutal elbows and knees. Once in the clinch, there’s a great chance he’ll end this fight with a violent knee that sends the opponent crashing to the canvas or an elbow that can slice the skin of an opponent leaving enough blood on the mat to make most horror movies look like a children’s movie. Can Ronald engage in the clinch and make short work of Eric or will Eric impose his will and take this fight to the mat? We’ll know soon enough when these two titans of the cage will meet December 19th to decide who is the ultimate Welterweight Champion.


 


 


SPFT 87 promises to bring Hilo excitement and entertainment that can only be supplied in a Steel Penn cage. This is action you won’t want to miss, so on December 19th, make sure to check out the Big Kahunarena!
