Lightweight Championship
(Champ) Jin Mishima vs. (1.) Afa Sila
The big rematch for the LW tittle will happen this friday, when long time former champion Afa Sila looks to avenge his first loss in his DFC career. Afa Sila has been dominating the division with 3 tittle defences until Jin Mishima took the belt by subbing Sila via 3rd round kimura. The most shocking thing about that loss was that, Sila who's known as "Arm Collector" , the man who is ripping off arms from his opponents had to tap for kimura. Sila has been so focused for this rematch that he hasn't give any interviews before the fight. MMA community seems to believe that champ will take back his belt, because Sila is still heavy favourite to win the fight.
"The Japanese One" Jin Mishima dream came true in Destiny 34 when he finally got tittle he was hunting for. Mishima shocked the world with that victory, because literally nobody gave him chance before the bout. Even if someone saw that coming I dont think anyone expected Mishima to submit the "Arm Collector". Of course, Mishima had to give former champ immediate rematch and he really needs to prove that he is the real champ by winning Sila again.
Mishima had few words to say before his first tittle defence:
"Afa SIla is a very good fighter, i beat him before and I need to train hard again to beat him again. Best wishes for us and let the best man win"
Middleweight Championship
(Champ) Joe Pae vs. (3.) Jack Chambers
The DFC Middleweight champion Joe Pae will return to action this friday. Pae is only champ in DFC roster that has been the king of the division since day 1. Nobody else has been able to even touch the DFC middleweight belt even tho Nari Vari was so close when he fighted a draw against Pae. In their second bout Pae took the nod by split decision and after those hard battles against Vari, its time to bring him a new challenger.
Jack Chambers is 27 year old american from Boston. Chambers has been one of the scariest MW in the division. He might just have fought twice in DFC, but his overall time in DFC cage is only 43 seconds. In his debut he sent Hiroshima to canves in just 15 seconds and in his 2nd bout ended in 28 seconds when he caught Danielson with beautiful head kick. After that victory it was clear that fans wanted Chambers to fight for the belt as soon as possible and this friday he gets his chance. Both Pae and Chambers are great stand-up fighters so we might see all-out stand up war. The champ might have the edge in the ground with his superb wrestling, but you never know.
Heavyweight
(3.) Felippe Francisco vs. (8.) Jack Hollow
Former number one contender Felippe "O Grande" Francisco is fighting Jack Hollow in heavyweight division just before the tittle fights. Francisco is coming from victory after dissapointed loss for the tittle and he is motivated to get another W to get another crack for the tittle. This fight will be 10th in DFC for Francisco and he is one of the most experienced fighters in DFC.
Jack Hollow will fight for 4th time in DFC and he is coming from devastating loss against Vincent Mars who became DFC Heavyweight champion last weekend. Everybody saw huge potential in Hollow and though he will fight for the belt very soon. Hollow still has that talent, the question is has he been able to forget the loss and focus only to win Francisco because he needs to be 100% to win this one. Hollow might be just 8. ranked in DFC, but he is slight favourite going to this fight so many people still believes in him.
