Prelims
(155lb) Casey Silk (1-1) vs Ninstone Biller (3-3)
Two grapplers face off in our first bout of the evening. Silk is the stronger wrestler here but Biller has the advantage in the BJJ department. Very close fight that can go either way.
(185lb) Luke Higginson (2-0) vs John Bolt (2-1)
Luke Higginson is the perfect example of a Bisbing build. Knows a bit of everything but is not good enough in anything. Bolt will use his wrestling to stuff the takedowns and his boxing to score the knockout.
(155lb) Joseph Montferrand (2-2) vs Yohan Schvenko (0-1)
Montferrand is the favourite here if the fight stays standing, but if the fight goes to the ground, things can get interesting. Montferrand has very good offensive wrestling but his takedown defense hasn’t been very good in his previous fight. If Schvenko can avoid Montferrands punches long enough to get the fight to the ground, he has a pretty good chance to win this one.
(155lb) Collin May (1-0) vs Nick Hill (0-1)
Hill is a promising striker but he really needs to improve his wrestling skills if he wants to make a name for himself in MMA. May will throw Hill to the mat and finish the fight with submission.
(170lb) Artho Pekkanen (3-0) vs Rosen Lyubenov (2-1)
Artho Pekkanen is a promising grappler and has finished all his fights by the way of submission. Lyubenov has a submission victory on his record as well but he really needs to put his Muay Thai in use if he wants to beat Pekkanen. I believe that Pekkanen will be able to drag the fight to the ground and add another submission victory to his record.
(155lb) Jovan Vukota (0-1) vs James Hall (3-0)
Another striker vs grappler match-up here. Vokuta has very good Muay Thai skills but I doubt that they will help him really much in this fight since he has no wrestling to keep this one standing. Hall will take Vukota down early and finish the fight with 1st round submission
Main Card
(265lb) Maksim Veremko (4-1) vs Andrew Pits (1-0)
In our first bout of the main card we have the former heavyweight champ Maxim Veremko facing off against young and talented wrestler Andrew Pits. Veremko is a very versatile striker and likes to smash people in the clinch with knees. Andrew Pits is basically a one trick pony. He wants to take you down and smash your face in with some vicious ground and pound. Pits definitely has the wrestling to take Veremko down but Veremko might very well have the skills on the ground to avoid the ground strikes of Pits and get back to his feet and score the knockout.
(265lb) Dyllz Tahare (3-0) vs Stig Toefting (1-1)
Two very talented heavyweights collide here on our second fight of the main card. Both these guys are very well-rounded and they have the skills to be future champions. Tahare is a wicked Muay Thai artist who can also do damage in the clinch. Toefting is a good boxer but he really needs to take Tahare down in this fight. With his wonderful wrestling and purple belt ground game he could very well finish Tahare on the ground. This is a very close fight between two very talented young fighters and I have no idea who will win this one. All I know this very well could be the fight of the night.
(205lb) Louie Prima (5-1) vs Kool Keith (3-0) for the light heavyweight championship
In our co-main event evening we have a battle for the light heavyweight belt. Prima is the best striker in the division with a scary good clinch game. Keith is a heavy handed boxer who is used to take guys out with his striking. Keith also has good wrestling skills and a purple belt ground game and he really needs to take Prima down if he wants to leave with the belt.
(185lb) Camel Monkey (6-0) vs Denzel Kurt (4-0)
Our main event is a battle for the shot at the middleweight title. These guys are very similar on the paper. Both are undefeated and both have impressive wrestling skills. Monkey has a very dangerous submission game that Kurt has to be aware of if this fight goes to the ground. Kurt has also showed his willingness to stand and bang in his previous fights so it will be interesting to see if he tries to keep the fight standing and try to score the KO on the feet.
