Toshi Matoshin V Tyion Lannister Prediction – Matoshin Vai UD
Enrique Molito V Edward Campbell
Our former 145lbs champ takes to the cage under new management against formidable opponent Edward Campbell. The thing to look out for here is what Molito will do under Scott Davies, Will he change things and take a new game plan or will he stick to the tried and tested throw bombs and dirty boxing? We will find out against an opponent I image will be looking to duck under and secure a takedown and hopefully secure the victory but as we know trying to take Molito down can be a fruitless act resulting in walking onto many hard counter punches!
Prediction- Enrique Molitio Via KO(Wombo Combo)
Aigars Senko v Hype Williams
An interesting fight as 2 strikers will take centre stage and what makes this even more interesting is both fighters have a past of being knocked out and knocking people out! So I really wouldn’t blink for this one. Both fighters favour a boxing orientated style with the odd leg kick mixed in, meaning both fighters will be coming all guns blazing as they don’t need to worry about the takedown! A common denominator to look at here could be both fighters have matched up against Spox Beard with Senko winning via TKO and Williams losing Via TKO...
Prediction Aigars Senko Via KO (Windmilling)
Jay Garcia V Spox Beard
The fan favourite comes up against a fighter who hasn’t seen the third round! While Garcia has some notable BJJ skills he seems to come to fights with really low energy, maybe due to overtraining which really hinder his abilities in the cage. If I was him I would really get some rest for this one as in the past he has struggled with fighters with a knockout ability and he comes against a fighter looking for a way to the top in Beard who only has to dodge the endless takedown attempts and land clean to take the W.
Prediction – Spox Beard Via KO (Pimp Slap)
Nick Sheilds V Abraham Psi
In what is a #1 CONTENDER fight former Immortals 145 champ and submission ace Nick Shields looks to continue his unbeaten career against the well rounded knockout artist Abraham Psi! While it would be easy to just say if it stays standing Psi is the most logical and if it goes to the ground Shields will pull off the submission, which would be unfair to both fighters as both have proven themselves more than capable in all areas. The key to this fight I feel will be who starts the fastest as both have proven themselves excellent finishers with 19 finishes in 22 victories between them.
Prediction – Nick Sheilds Via SUBMISSION (Mini pinch)
Simon Morgan V Ikki Rokusho 145lbs Title
Former champ meets current champ! Since coming to Hilo Simon Morgan has managed to power his way to the title after being highly avoided amongst the 145 division the only option was to give the man a title shot as he became the first fighter to defeat the knockout merchant Enrique Molito! Since losing the title Rokusho has always been a top contender and seems to be able to dominate fighters with his heavy hands but has came up short so far in his quest to regain top dog status. I see this fight being over early as Rokusho doesn’t have the greatest chin and Morgan has been finished in the past one fighter or the other will be heading for an early night.
Prediction – Simon Morgan Via KO (Monkey Paw)
