Author:Jake Fury

Ladies and gentleman, I like to welcome you to LKO19 Refugies! Another great event underway brought to you by LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION with the partnership of HGH Nutrients Q160 Tycoons Best Quality supps and ---£GUNITGOLDRU$H£---! Sit comfortable in your seats and enjoy the spectacle the fighters are going to offer you!

 

 

"Derka Derka" Mohammed Jihad vs Tobias "The Punisher" Black  openweight category title

 

You already know that we at LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION don't play child games, so our main event for the evening is a championship title! And not any title, but the most wanted one where the most famous fighters are battling each other! The openweight category title! You already know pretty well our champion - Mohammed Jihad and his exceptional arsenal of moves, "Derka Derka" is efficient everywhere in the cage - punches, kicks, clinch fighting, takedowns, ground and pound, submissions, Jihad is capable of doing everything which makes  it almost impossible to predict his strategy for every fight! Against him we will be watching Tobias black, who is 35 lbs lighter than his opponent, we are going to see how this weight difference is going to work out for both fighters. "The Punisher" is a kick-boxing specialist, using perfectly his kicks for knocking out his opponents. This is going to be his debut at LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION so some people are wondering how he got a title clash. Maybe that's just his luck, maybe Jihad chose him, or maybe money talks! But we will never know, so stay tuned and watch the amazing show those two gladiators are going to provide! My prediction is Jihad to remain our champion, but Black is also very capable of surprising us!

 

 

Dom DeNardo vs "The Natural Born Runner" Mark Riccuito  openweight category

 

The co-main event of LKO19 Refugies meets another two MMA veterans. 36 year old Dom DeNardo, with personal record 20/6, from Oklahoma City, USA faces the 33 year old Mark Riccuito, from Pasuruan, Indonesia, with a personal record 20/14/1. DeNardo already impressed our fans at his debut for us at LKO Fight Night 6 by subbing Mark Hunter early in the first round, while "The Natural Born Runner" is about to make his debut at LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION. Many good things can be told about Dom DeNardo, but the most important thing is that he is a perfect all-rounder - exceptional at standup, efficient in the clinch and merciless on the ground! Against him, Riccuito is known to be perfect at standup and in clinch, but seriously avoiding the ground game. So maybe we already know the winning tactics for both fighters, don't we? Key for DeNardo will be getting the fight to the ground while Riccuito should do anything he can to prevent this from happening! I'm expecting a very contested fight but I have some feeling that Mark Riccuito could impress us in his debut!

 

 

Michal Kucharski vs Subotai Hyrkanian "WARLORDSTER"  openweight category

 

The next exciting clash in our schedule presents you two smaller fighters from our openweight division! The 177cm tall, 34 year old veteran from Gdansk, Poland, Michal Kucharski faces the 163cm tall, 25 year old Subotai Hyrkanian from Ulan Btor, Mongolia! Kucharski is a very good boxer, but his grappling ability is even more impressive, working hard on the ground and executing both hard strikes and skillful submissions. But the most important factor for him in the fight is his experience! His opponent, "WARLORDSTER", is a decent boxer, who uses his heavy punches both from distance and in the clinch. Key moment here will be the position of the fight because Kucharski would have an enormous advantage on the ground. My prediction is Michal Kucharski using his experience and routine and scoring another victory on his account!

 

 

William Joseph vs William "Aries" Adama  openweight category

 

In a night, that seems will be an epic veteran showdown in the openweight category, the 45 year old veteran, William Joseph goes against the 33 year old William Adama. Joseph is a bit demoralized after failing to achieve a win in his first two fights for LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION and there are rumours that he is considering his retirement already. Focusing on the fight itself, we should say that there is no secret for Joseph in the MMA game, after participating in the amazing 54 fights! He can fight everywhere and in every way, doesn't matter if from distance, in the clinch or on the ground, he knows it all! William Adama, who is a lot larger than his opponent, scored an impressive victory at his LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION debut by knocking out Shotgun Trua in the beginning of the third round of their fight at LKO12 Debaser. "Aries" is highly specialized in the clinchwork using his Muay Thai proficiency and hitting hard with elbows and knees, but also feels comfortable when striking from distance. Looks like his groundwork is his only weakness and this is the direction where William Joseph would want to lead the fight. A fight with very unpredictable outcome, but I think that Joseph's experience should be enough for him getting out of our cage victorious.

 

 

Gerardo "NicknameNot" Gluhovic vs Justin "The Trailer" Hall  openweight category

 

The fifth openweight category clash of the night presents you two fighters with a size difference and it will be very interesting which one will get an advantage from that difference! Let me introduce you the bigger guy first - with dimensions 190cm and 205 lbs, coming from Brazil, the 30 year old Gerardo Gluhovic! Against him, 183cm tall, with 181 lbs weight, citizen of the USA, the 32 year old Justin Hall! "The Trailer" is a lot more experienced than his opponent, having participated in 25 fights more than Gluhovic! Gluhovic is an amazing boxer who also feels comfortable in the clinch and already has 2 wins in his 2 appearances for LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION. Hall is a versatile standup and groundwork fighter, good in kick-boxing, but avoiding the clinchwork situations! He won his debut fight at LKO 11 Anaconda by a technical knockout versus Cu Chulainn, just 3 seconds before the end of the first round! Expecting to see an interesting clash with Gerardo Gluhovic using his size advantage and winning!

 

 

"" The American Sniper "" Adam Breneman vs James "HellBoy" Faaloua  openweight category

 

The last openweight fight for the evening faces two 195cm giants in the cage! Both are solid veterans with more than 20 fights in their pro careers. The 36 year old Adam Breneman against James Faaloua! "The American Sniper" is a decent boxer who likes to work the ground and pound as well. His opponent, "Hellboy" is a sensational Muay Thai fighter, utilizing his elbows and scoring big hits on his enemies. For sure we will be seeing a spectacular performance by both fighters but my prediction goes for Breneman.

 

 

"Prince" Herschel Pettaway vs Julian "The Living Weapon" Gniewek  145 lbs

 

The next fight in our schedule presents you two debutants for LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION! It is a pleasure to present you our homeboy, coming straight outta Harlem, 21 year old Herchel Pettaway! Against him, coming all the way from Warsaw, Poland, 19 year old talent Julian Gniewek! Both fighters are hungry to score their first victory and win the hearts of you, ladies and gentlemen, the amazing fans of LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION! The "Prince" is very good at boxing, working well both from distance and in the clinch! "The Living Weapon" likes to work in the clinch too but he is also a very good Brazilian Jiu Jitsu specialist and already has 5 successful submissions on his account, which gave him his 5 professional MMA victories so far! Would be an interesting fight between two youngsters, with Julian Gniewek coming out victorious in my opinion.

 

 

Simone Milanesi vs Fedor "The Newest Emperor" Vladimirovich  265 lbs

 

Funny to put it like that, but we will be watching David vs Goliath in a heavyweight bout! On one side, we have the 210cm, 19 year old MMA prodigy, coming all the way from Italy - Simone Milanesi! Against him, we have the only 182 cm tall, 25 year old, from Russia - Fedor Vladimirovich! Milanesi, who already won KO of the night award on his debut at LKO13 Belive, is a very good boxer. His opponent, Vladimirovich, is specialized in the ground fighting, working well the ground strikes and submissions. You know me well for always rooting for the youngster and this time is no different! Expecting a quick KO win by Milanesi!

 

 

Joao Da Silva vs "Average" Joe Johnson  170 lbs

 

In the next fight we will be watching a clash between two 26 combatants, both looking to pave their way to success at LIBERTY KOMBAT ORGANIZATION! The brazilian Joao Da Silva has good boxing skills, working well in the standup and clinch, but avoiding any other way of fighting by not using kicks or groundplay at all. The american Joe Johnson is someone who feels well fighting at standup, but his biggest strenght is his groundwork! The outcome in the fight highly depends on the place where it is going to be lead, but I'm thinking that Joao Da Silva has what it takes to beat Johnson!

 

 

Michael Hughes vs Mike "Sinky" Simona  185 lbs

 

The last fight from the evening's preview would show us the 20 year old, 190cm tall, Michael Hughes from Liverpool, England, go against the 26 year old, 173cm tall, Mike Simona from Corvallis, USA. The Merseyside-bound Michael Hughes is a decent boxer but an exceptional ground and pounder, landing lots of ground strikes and modifying the faces of his opponents on a frequent basis! Against him, we have "Sinky" who is a kick-boxer using both punches and kicks in distance fights. An interesting clash, but I think that Hughes' potential will be too much for "Sinky"!
