Event Preview: WFC 24: Venger vs. Duffy
Powers Fighting Championship (250k+)
2014-09-27, Las Vegas, MMA Grand
Author:Gregory Jackson

Hello ladies and gentlemen, we have a special event here tonight for all WFC fans from all around the world! We are live at Las Vegas’ MMA Grand for a public workout with our main card fighters of WFC 24. The fans present are in for a treat, the fighters are currently warming up with their crew and reading for a quick workout. Let’s not waste too much time and get this started.

265lbs bout - Sebastiaan Rutten vs Meike Poila

We can see the small HW Sebastiaan Rutten working on his punch combination with his coach. He looks like he can use his speed advantage in this fight, I mean, there’s a huge size difference between the two fighters. Rutten being still undefeated, he will be the favorite going into the fight.

Meike Poila on the other hand, looks like he’s working on his takedowns right now. He’s a much better wrestler than anything else, and this should be his key to victory. If Poila can neutralize Rutten’s speed early in the fight, he should be able to snap his losing streak, and get his first ever win as a WFC fighter.

185lbs bout - Jon Snow vs BJ Penncil

Moving on to the next fighters, here is Jon Snow, better known as “Lord Commander”. He’s been improving really well in all aspects of the game, and despite his up and downs in his career, giving him a record of 5-3, he should be able to step on the winning path being a huge favorite in this fight.

BJ Penncil, a huge underdog here, will have to use his experience as a weapon of choice, and get that fight where he excels. You can see him right now grappling with his coach, and he looks ready for a war, him who has all his 13 wins by submissions. Experience will be key in this fight, but I still have to edge towards Snow.

155lbs bout - Young Gu vs Ricardo Monteban

Young Gu ladies and gentlemen! He’s been the talk of the WFC’s Lightweight division for a while, being 10-0 and looking unstoppable. We believe he should get a title shot with a win here, but it won’t be an easy task for him. You can see him workout right now with his new team, since him and his former manager recently part ways. He’s now with manager Billy Weedman, looking to keep his streak alive and show his new team he means business.

A quick look at his opponent, Ricardo Monteban, this guy will be no easy opponent, and has been a threat to the lightweight division ever since the very beginnings of WFC. The master in grappling looks like he wants the fight to go on the ground, has we can see him work his submissions right now. Fighting that guy, you have to be ready for a full fight, because he just doesn’t give up. This should be an interesting matchup, and I see this as a FOTN candidate.

Co-main Event

185lbs Championship fight - (C) Vadim Nazarov vs Dion Devlin

Here we come, its pretty crowded here, the WFC veteran and reigning Middleweight champion, Vadim Nazarov! The Ukrainian is looking pretty good right now, this is some neat shadow boxing from him. He’s had some tough fights lately, and yet again, he’s preparing for another big war. He’s had a lot of success with his sensational wrestling in his career, but he may mix things up and may have to strike a little bit more with his opponent, since the ground battle won’t be so easy. Interesting to see what gameplan he will use in this bout.

Nazarov is putting his belt on the line against the pretty boy, Dion Devlin. Devlin finally found his way to victory, him who was struggling after changing management, went on to lose 2 straight fights, but bounced right back with 3 awesome finishes, was enough to give him a shot at the title. He has the power to finish the fight pretty quick, and loves the clinch game. If he connects Nazarov early in the fight, it could be a game changer for the champ, so this will be a great fight no matter what is the outcome.

Main Event

265lbs Championship fight - (C) Vladimir Venger vs Mikey Duffy

The fighters everyone came to see! HW champion Vladimir Venger is putting his title and his perfect record on the line in this fight, him who’s been perfect in 17 fights of his still young career. Venger is one dangerous fighter, he finishes all his fights, and finish, I mean under a minute or two usually. He’s hitting on pads right now, and his coach can barely hold the pressure.

The hard hitter will be facing a big challenge at WFC 24, that challenge being Mikey Duffy. “Duffman” isn’t a familiar face since he just recently joined WFC, but he’s been talked about already, being an excellent wrestler, and we heard that he could be a huge threat to Venger. He’s looking to leave it all out in the cage on September 27th. It could be another FOTN candidate, as it will surely be one hell of an exciting fight.
