Event Preview: Warlords
ISLAND FC
2016-05-02, The Island, Hard Knocks - The Island
Author:

 Warlords will be live from the Hard Knocks arena in The Island and this event will be sponsored by Leviathan Clothing now on SALES, the best designs at the best prices Warlords will kick start the month and what a month we have in front of us , the season is reaching a crucial point for everyone involved with the last chance for many, to make an impact still, in the most exiting and controversial island season ever.....our first card of the month will be headed by the bantamweight title fight and from the co-main event will emerge the next title challenger.....the rest of the card is not bad neither , i will be cage side calling the fights ....now the fights:


 
 
135 lbs Miesha Tate v Walton Kunz
This is our main event of the evening , this two have meet before and on that occasion they fought for the belt ....Miesha won that fight by submission to retain the belt , but we have came a long way since and both fighters had some losses in this period , Miesha is not the champion anymore but a win here will definitely get him another shot at the title.....the same goes for Kuntz , a win here will put him 1st in line for the next title shot , he has excellent boxing skills and hes a BJJ purple belt, having some nice submission wins to hes name ......this fight will probably be very similar to their last meeting , i just hope that the end result is different.....one think is for sure whoever wins this one will get the next title shot.....
Prediction:Miesha Tate  by submission
 
 
135 lbs TITLE  Royce Disgracie v Mark Corden
Well it must be said that Royce first defense will be against a very average opponent, it looks like he was favoured by the "GOD's".....Royce comes here has the heavy favourite and for all that matters ,has the reigning champ, some say that you only become a true champion when you successfully defend your belt.....he has the skills and the will to reign for long, but every time he will step into that cage he will have a bigger challenge in front of him ......Royce is a tactical fighter with good chin and good mma IQ , he reads well the fight and hes opponent, spotting strengths and weaknesses , and timing well hes precise attacks a brawl is not an issue for him ,he has display some good clinch work......Mark is the heavier fighter and a big underdog to take this , he earn hes title shot on hes last fight ,he TKO a newly signed promotion future superstar in the last second of the fight, it was a great fight ,again he was a big underdog on that fight to....i realy think hes will and determination will cause the champion real trouble......
Prediction:Royce Disgracie  by decision
 
 
265 lbs Michael Campion v Igor Kolivanov
It seems to me that Michael has the advantage on every skill but MT ,age and height,and Igor, will definitely need to use this few advantages he has, i can see him going for the MT clinch and with balanced aggression he will try to land those dangerous elbows he possesses......hes chin will allow him to take whatever Michael has to throw at him striking wise but Michael is a very intelligent counter fighter with a superior BJJ level, 1+1=2, he will definitely wait for the right moment but eventually he will take this fight to the ground and try to submit Igor......Igor will have to keep it standing and wear hes opponent down till he gets the finish or maybe even get the decision.....
Prediction:Igor Kolivanov vs Decision
 
 
205 lbs Stu Peed v Mzai Uno
Stu is a quick counter fighter and he uses hes good takedowns and hes wrestling to apply is game plan, and its simple is game plan, realy, he takes you down and then he tries to puncture a hoole in your face , brutal GNP and to be honest with you i dont think he will change hes aproach here ....."dont fix it if its not broken" allways heard that and on this particular case makes all the sense in the world.....Stu has finished all hes 3 oponents inside the 1st round but now hes facing another undefeated fighter and Uno can mitigate Stu progress and overwelming performances ....hes a very strong athlete and hes very good in the clinch ,very agressive and hes strenght allows him to dominate very well that position,specialy in this weight division, hes the slight underdog but he defenitly has a chance here based on hes form.....
Prediction:Stu Peed  by TKO
 
 
170 lbs DJ Jordan v Alexi Tamov
Jordan has the experience on hes side he had a few more fight then Alexi and that experience could prove decisive here.....hes one of the few fighters from Extreme Mixed Martial Arts still active and hes doing alright considering the tuff oponents he faced so far, this time he has an easier task in hands against a very unexperienced 24 year old, Jordan likes to get on the inside and punish hes oponent with hes good MT clinch hes very powerfull and he can handle hes own in the ground exanges to, but he canot understimate Alexi, hes very quick and has very solid MT .....
Prediction: DJ Jordan 
 
 
265+ lbs Jordan Herring v Shed Marron
Well Herring has every chance of winning this based on the stats but styles make fights and i have a feeling this is the wrong match up for him, hes facing a very intelligent brawler with superior ground game opposing his excellent boxing and clinch work....the chin is the main question here, which fighter has the better chin?....they will get tagged and they both have heavy hands so ,we will see.....
Prediction:Shed Marron by submission
 
 
170 lbs Bruno Frade v Vito Scaletta
This has Vito written all over it , besides having a great avatar(props to jj) hes form has been nothing short then spectacular....he has been knocking out opponents left and right, and none of hes 4 opponents survive past the 1st round....this 18 year old is one of our promotion future stars for sure, but only if he keeps winning fights....every time he steps into that cage there is a chance that he might loose, but i realy don't think it will happen here though....hes facing another 18 year old newcomer , with very little hopes of gaining anything but experience and a sore body ,with this fight.....
Prediction:Vito Scaletta by KO
 
 
185 lbs Igor Pao v Jimmy Sabelo
I think Pao will run over Sabelo like a run away train  , he will take the youngster down and he will submit him  in spectacular fashion inside 1 round....i just dont see how the youngster will be able to avoid the takedow and then defend against the submission attempts, i cant see it happening, however the fight starts standing and thats Sabelo best chance i think , he must use hes reach advantage and stay on the outside countering with bombs and hooping that something lands...not happening
Prediction:Igor Pao 
 
 
265+ lbs Rala Mord v Qi Yinlong
Rala is a FA and will be realesed after this fight, the question is will he leave in a wheelchair or in a body bag...what do you think?...lol...but yeh ,no way hes winning this one Qi is doing well and i think he will absolutly maule Rala in the clinch and i cant realy see this one going the distance....Rala have spend the last couple of weeks ,indulging on coke and hookers ,i doubt it will end up on the high for him....well he will probably fight high still, but by the end of the fight he will be wondering if mma was ever for him.....career as a pimp follows....
Prediction:Qi Yinlong by TKO
 
 
145 lbs Jerry Cantrell v Eduardo Cedeno
This one will kick start the event  and it is a toss of the coin realy....both fiighters with distincts skills but well match up, judging on their past bouts this one will go the distance ....they have gone the distance all of their fights and i expect the same here....they look well equiped skill wise and tacticaly they are all over the place...very tiring and painfull ,for them and for us as fans.....saying that Cedeno won hes decision and looks the more solid and inteligent fighter, if i had to put my money on one of them i would go with Cedeno(but only a small wager)....
Prediction:Eduardo Cedeno by decision
 
 
 
WARRIOR Quotes:
 
“Being a samurai is all about selfless service and if the lord abuses the servant, it is no longer a situation of service; it becomes the situation of a victim. It is never acceptable for a samurai to be a victim. It is never acceptable to allow a lord to abuse you or rob you of your dignity. In such a situation, it is acceptable to walk away.”
