Fight Preview

 

Kajun Puno vs Randolph Turpin is a Heavyweight dream fight. If you like to see a slugfest, this is the fight for you. Puno is on a 6 fight win streak with 5 of them by stoppage and he has finished some incredible talent, like Jordi Joestar for the EVO Heavyweight title, he submitted Jean Paul Garcon, and in his most impressive outing to date he knocked out Obelix De Gaul, a top 10 contender in his last fight to unify the Syn' and EVO championships. It was a huge, huge victory for Puno and a huge wakeup call for every Heavyweight fighter on the planet.

 

"This is fight I wanted for very long time. It took him long enough to step up."

 

"He's ranked Number one on the planet, and I get the chance to knock his head off, who ain't gonna take this fight?"


In front of him is Randolph Turpin, the former #1 fighter in the world who is more than capable of knocking out any human being on the face of the planet with one shot. He's a Syn' Hall of Famer with 30 knockouts on his resume over top competitors like Sellus Gravius, Jon Hess, and Heavyweight great, Gymer Alexandersson. Turpin is coming off a loss to Puno's last opponent Obelix De Gaul, and would desperately like to come out on top to reclaim his throne and remind the new generation that he is still "The Legend".

 

"This is K1, Puno isn't a striker, he's McGregor to my Mayweather, his arrogant manager will regret this move."

 

"He no take MMA fight because I am superior wrestler but I am true MMA fighter. After I knock him out I prove I am better striker."

 

Statistically this is a very dangerous fight for Puno, the #1 P4P fighter in the world, because a fighter like Turpin has nothing to lose and everything to gain. The advantage Puno has from youth he gives up in experience, to a battle-tested veteran going into his 60th professional fight that's competed on the biggest stages that MMA has to offer.

 

"I will treat like all fights and not underestimate opponent. I respect all fighter who step in cage or ring. This fight, no difference. I fight to best of my ability to represent Convicted Fight Club. It is honor that I get opportunity to destroy what is left of Broken Halo Pride at grand opening of Dynasty."

 

"I'll be in shape, sure, I was still in the gym, just sparring, but I've ramped it up for this one. I feel good, I'm ready to go. I think for our camp, we jump at any chance to smash a Convicted fighter, they are the benchmark whatever your personal feelings are. Its cool to help a new organisation get a foothold in the business, I got fame and fortune out of MMA, so its nice to give back."

 

This is a fight you can't miss. The odds may favor Puno, the new King of the totem poll, but when you're talking about the Heavyweight division and one of the premier knockout artist of his generation in Randolph Turpin, the dice could roll either way. All it takes is one clean shot to put a fighter to sleep in this division and the fans will be on the edge of their seats until one of these fighters hands are raised.
