Combat Island will be live from the  Hard Knocks Arena
 

 
265+ lbs TITLE  Afonso Cabral 9-1 v Rudy Mar Binay 5-1


This triology will put an end to two of the best super heavyweights ,head to head battle....will be the fight that will establish the real king of the division and big expectations from both camps....

Afonso lost the first fight and won the rematch, we belive this quick triology was the right aproach and the right thing to do regarding everyone's interest....

after the fight however we might loose Cabral ,the current champion is looking for a new chalange....i realy dont know wich way this one is going to go but one thing is for sure ,we will have a great fight....

Prediction:Rudy Mar Binay  by submission
 
 

 

265 lbs Brutus Beefcake 2-1  v Geremi Njitap 2-0


Brutus will try to take the fight to the matt and work hes ground and pound, but good luck on trying to take Geremi down....he has amazing timing in hes kicks and will get you on the way in if you get reckless in the takedown attempts....both fighters need a win here and they will be trying hard to get it for sure.....

Prediction:Geremi Njitap  by KO
 
 

 

145 lbs    Ace Solonik 2-0  v Obat Timur 2-3


Boxer vs Wrestler on this one, Ace is the better boxer ,very determined individual and comes here on the back of two impressive KO wins ,hes up against Obat this fighter has very good clinchwork shame that he just doesnt know how to use it ....saying that he comes here on a wining form after submiting hes oponent in hes last fight...he seems to have found the recepie to win , we will see if he can follow up here.....

Prediction:Ace Solonik  by KO
 
 

205 lbs Stu Peed 2-0  v Patrick Lam 1-0


Stu is a very quick counter fighter with good takedowns and comes here looking amazing , hes path so far has been spootless and he hoopes to continue that here , he will be up against a fighter making hes second professional mma fight ,but this Step Stone fighter won hes first fight in a  convincing way,Tkoing hes oponent inside one round and i guess he will try to do exacly the same here,so far he show good chin and exelente boxing specialy hes dirty boxing.....

Prediction:Patrick Lam  by TKO
 
 
205 lbs Daniel Chan 1-0 v Alex Cirkunov 2-1


Well this two fairly inexperient fighters are very well match up in terms of skills, the diference here with be  the much superior BJJ game of Alex....if this fight ends up in the ground Alex will submit Daniel very quick i belive...but Daniel is very athletic and if he manages to play hes cards right and avoid the takedown, i can see him taking this,saying that he is the underdog.....

Prediction: Alex Cirkunov  by submission
 
 
205 lbs Mzai Uno 1-0  v Ogie Oglethorpe 2-1


Uno will defenitly try to use hes very good MT clinch and grind Ogie down against the cage with relentless head punching to the head....he comes here of hes 1 and only professional mma win but he has a very tough oponent for hes second bout....Ogie is a Rocky Marciano fighter so hes well looked after and will be prepared for this fight....he will try to keep a good distance and counter with precise counter punching, thats the only way i can see this naive young man wining this...

Prediction:Mzai Uno by TKO
 
 

205 lbs Cosmo Gomez 1-1  v Bob Green 3-3


Both this fighters are have very suspicious chins so you never know...it can be all over very quick....but i can see Bob using hes experience and superior physical attributes to drag this fight into the second wear down hes oponent until he takes the fight to the ground and finishes it there....well thats my theory, often is proven to be wrong.....

Prediction:Bob Green  by submission
 
 

 

185 lbs     Leaf Blower 2-0  v Jason Carter 1-0


Someones 0 will have to go and whos, is the main question....both this fighters well match up and i have a feeling this will turn out into a graplig contest.....i think Leaf comes into this fight has the favourite giving the way he won both of hes fights, i give him that...but hes up against a rising young superstar and physicly he looks a monster right now...hard work pays off?...i think it will...

Prediction:Jason Carter by TKO
 
 

170 lbs Alexi Tamov 0-0 v Alexey Shvetsov 0-1


It wont be judging on the fighters experience that i will be calling this fight, but basicly both this fighters realy need a win here to get the run going but i dont see it as a big deal for the looser in terms of damage made by loosing....nothing wrong in loosing a couple of fights in the begining of your professional carreer ....good promotors will see past that....

Prediction: Dont know... :)
 
 
185 lbs Hector Lombard 0-1 v Jimmy Sabelo 0-1


Both fighters with negative records but im making Lombard has the clear favourite to take this one....hes the oldest and looks better armed with bigger caliber guns....i think he will pin Sabelo against the cage and brutalize him on the clinch...the only way  i can see the youngster win this one ,is if he can land a head kick on the chin, not an easy task to land high kicks with your ass pined against the cage...but hey sometimes miracles happend hes camp will be hooping for one right here.....

Prediction:Hector Lombard  by TKO
 
 
LET THE VIOLENCE BEGIN
 
Fighting isn't all there is to the Art of War. The men who think that way, and
are satisfied to have food to eat and a place to sleep, are mere vagabonds. A
serious student is much more concerned with training his mind and disciplining
his spirit than with developing martial skills
.” 
― Eiji Yoshikawa, Musashi
