Alexander Anderson continue his dominance in Light Heavyweight division, with his second title defense, against undefeated submission wrestler Mark Munoz. Lightweights Jay Warner and Gianpaolo Cassano battle for 155 Supremacy – this is VFN 21: Anderson Vs Munoz!
Let’s get things started, with first bout in the Lightweight Division. It was first event with new management for VF, when “Demigod” Hercules Son Of Zeus made his debut in MMA. Unfortunately he fought Anzor Azhiev, losing by submission just 50 seconds into a fight. Now, He wants to redeem himself and win this fight. He is really talented boxer, but if he didn’t focuses on his takedown defense, it may be just like first fight. My pick for this fight is simple – Anzor Azhiev by Submission.
Kamil Korczewski defeated Ross Koscheck in what was Fight Of The Night on VFN 15. Now, they are set to do this again. Ross called Kamil out, and Kamil accepted that fight. Polish boxing prospect seems very confident coming to this fight, but counting out Kos isn’t good idea. If you knock him down, he will get back up. If you take him down, he will get back up. You can’t break him, you can’t let him live. Against Ross it’s Kill Or Be Killed. Finish Him or He Will Finish You. That simple. What we can expect? Another Fight Of The Night. And Ross winning this fight by way of Submission.
Rico Gracie made an impact, putting himself in top of the division. But Marco Da Silva didn’t like that, and he knocked him back down. Now – it’s time to do this right. Next opponent? AL “Irishman” Cassidy. You expect easy and boring fight? Think again. This fight will be awesome, and you can take it to the bank – whoever wins this fight, will be launched to the top immediately. Of course, expect ground fight – both prefer Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling than boxing and Muay Thai, but they are pretty exciting ground fighters. For this one I will go with Al, and TKO victory.
Frankie Riiser is looking for his moment of glory. 1-2 and 0-2 in VF, that doesn’t makes you confident about your contract. He has to win, and nothing can distract him. He needs that victory. But Bazar Problema needs it as well. And that’s best way to set a fight. They have nothing to lose, and everything to gain – they will come out swinging, trying to score impressive victory on VFN 21. Two purple belts in BJJ, with some striking skills – they really try to be well-rounded to be able to fight everywhere. But as far tonight goes, I will go with Bazar by TKO.
On two occasions Shirtless Rob was finger tip away from title shot. And twice he broke under the pressure, losing most important fights. If he can KO Erin Dolor, he will put himself in race for a title shot. But Dolor is determined as well , he wants to be known as a top dog in the Welterweight division. Both are heavy handed, both proved that they can KO everybody in the division. But can they finish one another? They will try – that’s for sure. They will hit each other with everything but the kitchen sink…an guess what – we will enjoy it. My pick for that fight is Rob by KO.
Grigoriev Maxim and Cedric Chippleworth are both well known KO artists, trying to make their way up to 155 title shot. For Cedric that is VFs debut, for Grigoriev – that’s shot at redemption, after losing 2 first fights. 5 combined victories with 5 (T)Kos means that this fight WILL NOT survive to see what judges thinks about it. It will be pure brawl until one of them will go down. Who has bigger power in his hands, and harder chin? This will be known after that event, but until then we can only predict. And my prediction is Cedric by KO.
Inspectah Knuckles made his way to a 205 belt quickly, with two amazing victories in a row, before being stopped by Alex Anderson in a title fight. Joe Machida on the other hand was consider top contender since his debut – but he lost to Brian Baxter and Mark Munoz, and now he has to build his status once again. And it seems like beating former contender is best way to do this. Can he finish him? If yes, he may be next in line to get a piece of Anderson. But for now he has to focuse on Inspectah Knuckles, because my pick is Inspectah by way of (T)KO.
Jack Balance is amazing fighter, no doubt. But he has one thing on his record that he don’t like. One loss, that he would love to avenge. But he has to earn that chance – and who knows? Maybe he will do this against Georgy Degratov. 2-0 boxer with some wrestling background has 2-0 record, and he isn’t ready to get his first “L”, so be ready for close fight and even more close finish. Can they finish one another? Probably yes. Can they outwork one another? For sure. Are they confident that they can win? Hell yeah. This fight is important, so they will do they best – and I think that it will be Jack walking out off this building with a Unanimous Decision victory.
Gianpaolo “Gladiator” Cassano didn’t taste defeat yet. 2-0 with 2 TKOs fighter from Rome is looking to make 3 in a row, when he steps to the cage against always dangerous Jay Warner. Warner didn’t make first impression as he wanted – but second and third couldn’t be better. Now he will battle for a shot at the title, and we will see best Jay Warner thus far. And best Cassano thus far. Grappler Vs Striker matchups are best, when guys MUST win, so expect fireworks. And Submission victory from Jay, alongside with a title fight in his future.
When you can expect fight of the night? When both guys NEVER goes to distance. 11 fights – 11 finishes. That’s combined record of our Main Eventers tonight – Alexander Anderson Vs Mark Munoz. Light Heavyweight Championship on the line…so, let’s do this! Last thing you want, if you are VFs 205 fighter is Alex on top of you. Because he will beat the shit out of you. What you don’t want as well? Being in Munoz’s guard – because he will take your arm home with him. Both are undefeated, both finished every challenge they had, so now it’s time to make sure that one of them will have a first loss on their records. Who will it be? In my mind – Mark Munoz. Because of next Alex’s TKO victory.
