Joe Jordan (29-11) vs. Julien "The French Psychopath" Touret (25-12)
A prized contender in GAMMA, Joe Jordan stands as the current GAMMA heavyweight champion with a record of 5 successful title defenses and a stellar GAMMA record of 9-2. A versatile, all-around fighter, Joe Jordan can take the fight to the clinch or keep it going on foot, yet, no matter where he takes it, he can score a knockout anywhere he choses (28 knockout victories).
The French Psychopath has remained a staple fighter in the GAMMA organization, battling it out for the championship three times and successfully earned the title once. In this upcoming bout, The French Psychopath will be looking to take that belt back to France.
Coming in this fight, I definitely favor Joe Jordan in this bout. The French Psychopath has one major weakness, his chin. His ten losses have been all by TKO or KO. If the Touret isn't careful, I would say Joe Jordan gets this one clean.
A true P4P battle, two titans of the heavyweight division duked out an exhausted three rounds into a spectacular finish for Joe Jordan. In the first few rounds, Touret definitely had the upper-hand, outscoring the champion on foot and in the clinch. However, in the third round, Touret simply got caught and from there on, Joe Jordan brought it back into a victory. Bien essayé, Touret!

Pavel Dubrov (26-14) vs. Attila Hun (20-7)
Attila Hun is one mean-looking brawler. Coming in with 20 victories, 15 of which have been by KO, and only 7 losses, Attila will be looking to use the bow and arr... Wait.. oh this is an MMA fight.. A knockout artist by heart, Attila will be searching for that one opening to secure yet another headshot KO.
Pavel Dubrov is a calculated and methodical fighter. About half his victories have come by KO and the other half by decision, Dubrov knows when to unleash Hell and knows when to sit back, and pick apart his opponent. Dubrov is a versatile fighter, using a whole array of strikes to dismantle his opponent, in the clinch and standing.
Coming into this fight, I definitely expect some clinch fighting going on. Dubrov's best chance probably won't be to stand and bang against the heavy-handed Atilla.
The results favored Dubrov in the end. This bout was especially close, but in terms of pure round by round victories, Dubrov got the edge in the first two, however, Hun got the clear edge in the last.

"The Maximegalomaniac" Kim II-Sung (16-10) vs. Stanley Williams (28-17)
A tyrannical dictator by trade, a grappler by heart, II-Sung is arguably the most interesting man in the world. An skilled soldier trained in the fields of North Korea, II-Sung is no joke when it comes to dropping the... Oh this is MMA? Nevermind.. He is not afraid to choke out his opponents with a fancy RNC or a simple guillotine from mount.
Stanley Williams is not a man for words, but only fancies his fist driving into your face. Only stopped three times in his career, Stanley can knock you out or choke you out, depending on how he feels.
This battle is definitely a standard grappler versus striker/grappler hybrid. Williams is capable of following this fight to the ground against Kim and submitting him, however, if Kim does take this to the ground, he will definitely have an easier time.
A more skilled fighter in general, Williams was able to deflect most of Sung's takedowns in the first two rounds and all of the third round, securing a decision victory through outscoring Sung on foot.

Agent 47 (18-8) vs Eka Tahuna (22-10-1)
This fight is one to keep an eye on. Agent 47, a submission specialist and a proficient standup striker, will be looking to take the fight to the ground and look to break a limb of Eka's. However, Tahuna, is one of the most elite strikers P4P in GAMMA and he is no joke when it comes to the standup game, holding a solid 15 wins, 14 of which have come by KO. Coming into this fight, Agent 47 will have to be careful of Eka's striking and look for the opening to take it to the ground.
Tahuna came up ontop with a significant point advantage. Landing multiple leg and body strikes, Agent 47 was simply too gassed to defend himself, resulting in an energy TKO victory for Tahuna.

Russian Zombie (18-8) vs. Kira Miyata (24-14)
Kira Miyata is a prominent BJJ specialist with a yet untested chin. Never losing by knockout in his 38 bouts, Kira Miyata is a top featherweight contender. On the other side of the ring, Russian Zombie, holding more than half of his victories by KO, will be looking to add another enemy to his pile of unconscious zombie food. If Miyata can hold at least on-par with the Russian Zombie on foot and eventually drag the fight to the ground, I would just give the victory to Miyata.
As it turns out, Miyata was able to squeeze by each round ontop. He successfully dictated the fight standing and on the ground by outscoring his opponent and preventing any catches on the part of Zombie.

Ricard Cuenca (31-14) vs Bich Nga (15-7)
Two loud and proud, stand and bang brawlers, it's only a matter of time before we see legs go limp. In this fight, whoever gets the first big shot will have the upper hand in this one.
As it turns out, it was a full standup war, with Cuenca landing a clean one, two, spinning backfist, and B.N. goes to sleep.

Scotty Bennet (43-16) vs. Leopold Stotch (29-20-1)
Two seasoned veterans, Bennet and Stotch, both looking like they just finished filming Captain America: Civil War, make their next bout in the familiar GAMMA ring. Two top contenders, Bennet being a former GAMMA middleweight champion, this fight is one to watch out for. We're in for a classic, arms-swinging battle. However, Bennet does have the ability to take this fight to the ground. It'll be interesting to see if he does.
Throughout the fight, Scotty Bennet had maintained a clear advantage over Stotch. Almost finishing Stotch in the first round, Bennet maintained dominance on the ground and on foot.

Jax Teller (39-23) vs. Joe Strummer (14-8)
Joe Strummer is an elite submission specialist. If he can get the fight to the floor and keep it there, it could be all bad for Teller. Teller, on the other hand, is an elite striker. Classic grappler vs. striker matchup.
The key to this fight is if Strummer can get Teller to the ground and keep him there long enough for a finish or a multitude of ground strikes. However, the results came to Teller's side by way of decision, as Teller was able to outstruck Strummer by a significant amount.

Perrin Aybara (17-10-1) vs. Kieron Radebe (26-16)
A very evenly matched bout, it'll be interesting to see who can get the upperhand here. I put my money on Kieron Radebe on this bout.
Surprisingly, at least to me, Perrin Aybara was able to grab ahold of Kieron in the clinch and deliver massive amounts of body strikes and head strikes to simply neutralize Radebe's striking power, effectively earning Aybara a decision victory.

Gordus Clay (22-5) vs. JT Colossus (55-45-1)
Colossus, better known as the WarWagon, has had one hell of a career in MMA. There is no better place to end his career than in GAMMA. With a staggering 102 bouts, his chin has been put to the best more times than the he has his manager has given him a bonus. Just kidding, may the WarWagon have a great retirement. Gordus Clay will no doubt show no mercy, however.
What else can I say? The quickest KO of the night at 35 seconds, Clay showed his KO power in fashion. Again, WarWagon is probably thinking about hanging up his gloves now.
