HONOR FC 24: Heatwave is the next installation of the growing HONOR FC promotion based in Las Vegas. Heatwave will take place at the Parisian in Las Vegas and we are expecting another sell out as we have bantamweight champion Tyrion Lannister will take on dangerous challenger Alberto Lopez.
Alex "Almighty" Irwin (6-5) vs Dario “All-in” Sakara (5-2)
Both of these welterweights are coming in off of a win; Irwin boasts a big time stand up advantage and will look to keep the ground on the feet and out strike his opponent. Sakara will hope for a ground battle in which he can utilize his BJJ to search for a finish. Irwin is a good wrestler so I suspect that he can use his take down defense to keep this standing and out strike his opponent.
Prediction: Irwin (T)KO Round 1
"The Muharib" Mohamed al Hadj (25-16) vs "MANCHESTER BLACK" Mikael Johansson (24-18)
This battle in the middleweight division is between two of the most well rounded guys in HONOR. This fight is going to be very even and I project it to be a stand up war. Johansson does have better KO power but al Hadj has a great chin and is very quick, he should be able to use this to avoid the power striker and out point him on the cards.
Prediction: al Hadj UD
Roope Latvala (13-4) vs Drazen Kadoic (29-18)
Former champion Kadoic will take on hot prospect Latvala in the HONOR FC 205lb division. Latvala will want to use his natural quickness to keep this one a boxing match and move in and out of the pocket, whereas Kadioc will want to clinch up and keep it tight on the inside.
Prediction: Kadoic (T)KO Round 2
"Irish" Joseph Donelly (24-14) vs Bryan "Thunder" Larocque (27-13)
These welterweights love to stand and trade shots and that attitude will lead to a fantastic battle between these two fan favorites. There is not much of a difference talent wise between these guys but Larocque has proven to have a better chin during his time here in HONOR. Therefore I give him the advantage in this big stand up battle.
Prediction: Larocque (T)KO Round 2
Tyrion "The Imp" Lannister (18-5) vs Alberto "The Gunslinger" Lopez (29-11)
Lopez is a very experienced championship fighter who is making his HONOR FC debut today against resident champion Tyrion Lannister. Lopez is a big time knockout artist who uses a diverse striking attack to punish his opponents. Lannister loves to use wrestling and submission fighting to rip through his opponents. This fight is going to be very close and really could go either way; I will give the advantage to Lannister due to his takedowns and ability to control from the top position.
Prediction: Lannister UD
