Jay: Welcome to Ray & Jay's Excellent MMA Adventures!
I'm Jay and with me is my pops Ray. We just got back from Rio, we were covering some events by RCG. Those guys mean business down there, I'll tell ya! They took my dabs at the airport! I tried telling them it was medical but they didn't seem to care. Fu€kers! Anyways, on today's show we will be back to our roots, UPF... And UPF 37: Michael Vs. Borat takes place this Saturday, so without further delay, pops let's start off the undercard.
Ray: Alright, boy do we have a night lined up for you this week. So, let's get right down to it, the undercard starts off in the heavyweight division. Newcomer,
The Wrestler Ii will make his UPF debut against the well rounded Matteo Mancini. Mancini is trying to come back after losing his UPF debut. He is an excellent boxer but has a suspect chin.
Wrestler II is one of the top wrestlers in the division and is coming into this one riding a two fight win streak. Look for The Wrestler II to try to take this one to the mat. In this boxer vs wrestler match up I'm gonna go with The Wrestler in round II.
Jay: I still can't believe those Brazilian SOB's stole my dabs. I'm still upset about that! And it's all Mancini's fault. The Wrestler Ii by TKO in round 1.
Predictions
Ray: Wrestler Ii by (T)KO at 1:33 of round 2.
Jay: Wrestler Ii by (T)KO at 3:31 of round 1.
Jay: The next fight sees another fighter make his debut, this time in the middleweight division as the wrestling/jui jitsu artist Teddy "Fly" Dean will enter the UPF octagon for the first time, against a jack of all trades style fighter in Ash Fuller. Fuller hasn't had any good luck since joining the UPF, going 0-2, but is looking to bounce back.
Dean just broke a 6 fight losing streak and is looking to start a winning streak, but Fuller won't go down easily. Fuller will probably try to keep this one standing where he has the clear advantage but if it ends up on the ground then both fighters will try to put their purple belt to work. I think Dean will have his hands "Fuller" than expected in this one. Fuller by submission in round 3.
Ray: You've got this one all wrong kiddo. I expect Fuller to try to take it to the mat. And I don't think Dean will give him much argument there. Once on the ground, I think Dean's experience will come into play. And Fuller will be forced to tap or "snap". Dean by submission in round 2.
Predictions
Jay: Fuller by Submission at 4:55 of round 3.
Ray: Dean by Submission at 0:55 of round 2.
Ray: Tane Huia, a Muay Thai specialist, will welcome yet another fighter into the UPF octagon as Lucien Wolf makes his debut at 170lbs. Huia will undoubtedly try to keep this one standing and move into the clinch, while Wolf will try to take it to the ground, where he holds the advantage. I just don't see Lucien being able to take Tane down. Huia scores an easy first round TKO.
Jay: Wolf has been flawless with his takedowns and I don't think that's going to change now. Wolf will take him down land a couple digs and then wrap up one of Huia's limbs like a present and send it to Huia's wife. Wolf by Submission in round 1.
Predictions
Ray: Huia by TKO at 1:29 of round 1.
Jay: Wolf by Submission at 0:56 of round 1.
Jay: The final fight on the undercard pits two little guys in the featherweight division against each other. Iker "Iker " Dedal is also welcoming a new comer. He fights "Bizarre" Ian Agatupu on Saturday for three rounds. Bizarre is a Muay Thai fighter and his debut will be a tough one as Dedal is one tough cookie with a lot of experience. And I believe that experience will be the key factor and ultimately be the deciding factor. Dedal will add another KO to his resume. Ian is just too inexperienced as of now. But a little more training time and I bet he will be rising through the ranks. But not yet Ian. Dedal by KO in round 1.
Ray: Ian doesn't stand a chance in this fight. Iker will have his name with him. Ian has a lot of potential, he is a talented fighter. But sorry to say, he is just outmatched. Dedal by KO in round 3.
Predictions
Jay: Dedal by KO at 1:34 of round 1.
Ray: Dedal by KO at 1:00 of round 1.
Ray: A bantamweight bout starts off our maincard as "Retarded" Frank Rizzo and Waldo Claudiano duke it out for three rounds. This isn't the first time these two have faced each other, Waldo's sole victory comes from beating Rizzo. But I'll tell you what, I think that one was a fluke. Rizzo avenges his loss by way of a decision victory.
Jay: Rizzo's manager is none other than Jamie McKenna, former matchmaker and President of Operations here at UPF. He now runs UPF Underground and with him being so busy bringing UPFU up to speed, I think Rizzo will ultimately pay the price for it. Waldo will not allow Rizzo the luxury to avenge his loss. Claudiano will score another decision victory over Frank.
Predictions
Ray: Rizzo by Decision.
Jay: Claudiano by Decision.
Jay: The second fight on the main card will be in the middleweight division as Caliman "Soldier" Matos will try to showcase his submission skills against the younger, bigger but still inexperienced boxer Thiago Acosta. Acosta may have started his career off with a loss but that won't make a bit of difference in this one. I say this because Matos has an awesome record of 6-1 with his only loss going to the same guy that beat Acosta.
0With that said, I see Thiago coming out strong and fast swinging hooks galore and it won't be long before Matos secures the takedown and starts with the ground 'n pound and with sub attampts thrown in there, and Matos will take both the first two rounds with this method but the third round won't last long as Acosta will be tired of rolling on the floor and just knock him out. Acosta by KO in round 3.
Ray: The teenager, Acosta, is still green. And hasn't been tested yet on the ground. In his sparring sessions, he seems to have improved his ground skills but I don't think he is quite ready for a fighter like "Soldier". Matos by submission, round 2.
Predictions
Jay: Acosta by KO at 1:11 of round 3.
Ray: Matos by Submission at 1:59 of round 2.
Ray: Fight 3 of Saturday's main card is in the bantamweight division. The boxing Jui Jitsu fighter, Anthony "Showtime" Pettis, is looking to get back on track by besting the new comer, Antero Vipunen, who will be looking to start his UPF career off with a huge win. I love this guy Showtime, win or lose he always puts on a spectacle and the fans love it. The UPF new comer, Vipunen, is a formidable opponent. Being outmatched in the stand up, I expect Vipunen to try to take this one to the ground where the fighters are more evenly matched. But I'm afraid all he will find there is misery. Showtime by sub, round 2.
Jay: Both fighters hold brown belts in Jui Jitsu but out of a combined 14 wins there is only 1 submission victory between the two of them. No, I don't see anyone tapping out pops. I think that Showtime will out perform his opponent to take home a decision victory.
Predictions
Ray: Pettis by Submission at 0:21 of round 2.
Jay: Pettis by Decision.
Jay: The maincard finishes up with Robert "The Axe" Morgan and William McDougal scheduled to face each other for three rounds in the featherweight division. These two fighters are very evenly matched with Morgan holding the slight edge at stand up and McDougal on the ground. I gotta say pops, McDougal has made a believer out of me! I mean he has had quite the turn around and I don't see his momentum ending any time soon. I jumping on the McDougal band wagon. McDougal by sub, round 2.
Ray: I always knew McDougal had it in him. Now having the taste of victory, he will be trying harder than ever to keep that streak alive. But he faces a very tough opponent in Robert Morgan. I'm torn here, Morgans a great fighter but how can I go against my boy McDougal? McDougal by decision.
Predictions
Jay: McDougal by Submission at 3:24 of round 2.
Ray: McDougal by Decision.
Ray: Our super-heavyweight main event has Torquil Bram set to brawl Mutant Morais for three scheduled rounds. Bram will want to keep this one standing if he is going to have a chance in this one. Morais has the skill to tap him out quickly if it goes to the ground. But I think Bram will manage to keep this one stand and use his awesome power to score another first round knock out. Bram by KO round 1.
Jay: That's not how I see this one. I think that those losses have gotten to Bram's head and he will be afraid of getting taken down, and that's exactly what's gonna happen! Morais will score a lightning quick takedown and Bram will be tapping out before Morais even has time to put a submission on him. Morais by sub round 1.
Predictions
Ray: Bram by KO at 2:18 of round 1.
Jay: Morais by Submission at 0:18 of round 1.
Jay: Now we have arrived at the fight that you've all been waiting for, the highly anticipated, the UPF's reigning, defending, undisputed, lightweight champion of the world, Michal "The rebel without a clue" Korek will allow Borat WawaWeeeeewaaaa the chance to step into the UPF octagon and walk out a champion. But he's gotta go through the champ first. Which will be no easy task. Korek has dominated all those who stood before him and tried to take his belt. Borat is a tough as nails though, and is hoping he will be able to do what so many others have failed to do, dethrone the champ. Borats best shot is to use his wrestling background to his advantage. But in the end I'm not sure if Borat will have the necessary tools required to take the champ off of his throne. Korek by KO and still champ in round 1.
Ray: The path to the championship for Borat, will be in the clinch. Korek is relatively inexperienced in clinch fighting. If Borat can take the champion in the clinch I could see him walking away with the championship belt. Korek has been a dominate fighter and I'm not so sure he'll allow himself to get clinched up. The champ walks away from this one with yet another successful title defense. Korek by KO in round 2.
Predictions
Jay: Korek by KO at 3:23 of round 1.
Ray: Korek by KO at 3:11 of round 2.
Jay: Well there you have it, another successful title defense and 9 more amazing fights. Not to mention the 5 debuts. Awesomeness! This card was brought to you by 5M Nutrition, mmm tasty! And by AnonymouS, always great products always great prices, and by UPF Sports Book and Chain Gang Bookie, great odds always! That's it were done dude. I'm off to take my dab now. (Without another word Jay stands up and walks off the set)
Ray: Until next time, this is Ray, signing off.
