Saturday saw a great night of events hosted at the Parisian in Vegas, we also saw an interesting development as Forbidden Violence fighters came here and swept the HONOR FC representatives three to zero to repay the favor of HONOR doing the same to them last month. A title also switched hands as Roy “The Wardog” Pitbull defeated the now former champ by third round TKO.







Brandon "Badboy" Marsden (17-14-1) vs "Gung Ho" Vladimir Van Kirkland (20-12)



Despite being controlled on the ground Van Kirkland was able to outwork his opponent on the feet and take a narrow decision. Marsden had plenty of opportunities on the ground to finish it but was unable to capitalize on his superior position. As we often see the judges favored the guy who was able to stay more active with the punches.







Prediction: Marsden Via Sub Round 2 Result” Van Kirkland Via UD







"THE ASSASSINATOR" Mikael Johansson (24-13) vs "Go" Phukyorselvf Uzannavabizch (28-12-1)



Pretty quick fight here as Johansson was able to out strike the striker and apply a devastating finish with a vicious combination of punches and finish this one even quicker than expected.







Prediction: Johansson Via TKO Round 2 Result: Johansson Via TKO Round 1







Oberyn "Steel" Martell (15-9) vs "The Impaler" Vladimir Ignatov (10-3-1)



Ignatov took a close decision for the second time in a row here as he was able to negate the superior clinch ability of Martell and control the distance with leg kicks and stiff jabs to ride this one out on the judges’ cards. A bit of a surprise here as Ignatov generally looks for the kill but a safe game plan was obviously a good choice.







Prediction: Martell Via TKO Round 2 Result: Ignatov Via UD







James "Java Man" Avalon (21-11) vs Jules Winnfield (21-15)



This one was always going to be close and a finish was almost certainly on the cards as each one of these guys carries shocking knock out power. Surprisingly Avalon went for several takedowns throughout the fight, most of which were stuffed and resulted in him eating big shots from Winnfield. After two and half rounds of brutal warfare Winnfield was able to connect with several shots that sent the exhausted Avalon to the mat and forced the ref to step in.







Prediction: Avalon TKO Round 3 Result: Winnfield TKO Round 3







Doug Graves (25-14) vs Drazen Kadoic (28-18)



Graves was able to come out of this fight with a unanimous 29-28 decision of Kadoic. I predicted Drazen to win this one by connecting with a power shot, but sadly for him that moment never came as Graves was able to use his speed to move in and out and connect with a high volume of punches.







Prediction: Kadoic TKO Round 1 Result: Graves UD







"Wittertainment" Mayo Kermode (21-12) vs Jermaine "The Juggernaut" Barksdale (16-6)



Little bit of a shocker here on the scorecards as Juggernaut took this one with a 29-28 decision, the deciding factor was certainly the takedown he landed in the third to secure the round and the fight despite being outworked and out struck throughout the affair.







Prediction: Barksdale TKO Round 1 Result: Barksdale UD







Marlon "The Predator" Worthy (28-17) vs Super Hans (26-11)



This fight was always going to be close and I had Hans narrowly defeating Worthy, however Worthy was able to use much crisper striking to outwork the sloppy Hans.







Prediction: Hans UD Result: Worthy UD







Tommy "The Terror" Cottero (26-10) vs Roy "The Wardog" Pitbull (27-12-1)



Sadly for the now former champion this one went exactly as expected, the quickness, power, and takedown ability of Pitbull was too much for Cottero though Cottero put in a great effort. Pitbull was able to move in and out of the pocket on the feet and use his striking to set up a perfectly timed takedown in the third and used his expert ground and pound to finish it with a nasty elbow.







Prediction: Pitbull TKO Round 3 Result: Pitbull TKO Round 3







Augustus "Deadshot" Belmont (27-12) vs Dack Fayden (14-6)



Once again the power striking of Belmont proved to be too much for his opponent, a sad effort from Fayden in this one as he never really got off and basically ate shots until Belmont finally finished it with a vicious uppercut in the first round.



Prediction: Belmont TKO Round 1 Result: Belmont TKO Round 1







This was a great show in front of a sold out crowd at the Parisian, the event was given rave reviews and all of the fighters put on an amazing show for the fans. We would like to thank all of the Forbidden Violence fighters who came here to take on some our best, great work tonight to guys. That’s all for now, next we look forward to another great Wednesday night card.
