Prelims:
Dark Dark vs Brock Marciano:
A fight between heavyweights to kick off the card, but this will not be traditional heavyweight slug off. Brock Marciano; despite being TKO’d in his last fight, has proved to be a very decent wrestler, and considering the rumours about Dark Dark’s lack of training, that should be more than enough in this fight.
Brock Marciano via Unanimous Decision
Maurice Von Fenwa vs Requis Von Fenwa:
A fight between two guys, who are cousins/brothers and are out of the same management stable, there will be some heavy leather thrown in this fight. Manager Grant Brophy will be watching on intensely; as he ruthlessly forced these relatives to slug it out. One of these guys will stay under his management, whilst one of them may leave, based on performance of course. On paper they are very evenly matched and it may come down to whose chin cracks first, but I have to give the advantage to the lighter, faster Maurice on this occasion.
Maurice Von Fenwa via KO (Round 1)
Jay Lyu vs Johnny Ray:
A match in the Light Heavyweight Division, between a guy who lost to a Featherweight in his first fight (Jay Lyu) vs some other Light Heavyweight (Johnny Ray). Ironically, I favour Jay Lyu here, because he specialises in Muay Thai, whereas Ray is a jack of all trades, and those type of guys don’t tend to cut it in MMA Tycoon, I say Lyu gets a late finish.
Lyu via TKO (Round 3)
Ace Newbury vs Didier Leroy:
An undercard match between two guys who have a background in striking, I’ve heard Leroy has some mad power in his hands, but we haven’t seen it yet, because he hasn’t had a fight yet. Newbury showed he has some wrestling in his locker by taking his opponent down and dry-humping him on route to his first win. I think he does the same again, but this time I’m betting he submits the debutant.
Newbury via Submission (Round 1)
Main Card:
Anthony Johnson vs Duncan Macleod:
Here we have two debutants, one of them is known as an excellent amateur Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, a brown belt at 18 years old, while little is known about the other. Presumably Macleod can win this fight if it stays standing, as Johnson has no striking experience at all. That said, I think this makes Johnson more dangerous, I see him tying up with Macleod and relentlessly trying for the takedown or just pulling guard. I don’t think Macleod can stop this game plan, being a rookie himself, so I think a submission is inevitable here.
Anthony Johnson via Submission (Round 1)
Jim Dangle vs Josh Koscheck
So here we have another brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, welterweight Josh Koscheck, who got mauled on the ground in his first fight; however he was facing a Heavyweight in that fight, one who also has equally impressive grappling ability. I think he takes this against relative no hope Jim Dangle. Koscheck should have a slight edge on his feet to go along with the massive edge on the ground, I don’t see how he has a problem here.
Koscheck via Submission (Round 2)
Joey Karate vs Jonas Lofmark:
A typical striker vs grappler matchup, while Joey Karate has a background in Muay Thai, and I’m guessing… Karate, Lofmark was an outstanding wrestler in his home nation of Sweden, and at basic levels of that game, wrestling is known to win out over many other disciplines, sorry Karate, but I think you’re getting Fitched here.
Jonas Lofmark via Unanimous Decision
Light Heavyweight Championship – Vincent Cluster vs I Am Terrible
Two strong Light Heavyweights in a five round scrap; to crown the inaugural Light Heavyweight Champion for SP ICON 2.0. Vincent Cluster is a solid fighter, and he’s certainly tough. He showed his chin in his first fight when he battled his way to an awkward, clinch heavy decision win. I Am Terrible; despite his name, looks to be a very handy fighter, landing with vicious elbows in the clinch left one opponent too cut up to continue, and another tapping out on the floor due to them. Cluster will not be as easy to finish, but I still think terrible comes out on top here, it will just take him longer. Eventually Cluster’s chin will give out under those savage elbows.
I Am Terrible via TKO (Round 3)
MAIN EVENT:
Heavyweight Championship - Makanaakua Moliakalaniikeola vs Alton Maxin
So Altin squares off with the man who has the most unpronounceable name in all of sports. Altin is a decent wrestler, as he showed in his first fight with some mad lay and pray skills. He is the lighter man in this fighter and appears to have an extremely sturdy chin. The problem is, he showed all of this against a guy who wasn’t really a threat. In this fight; against Makanaakua; Altin will get messed up on the feet if he is unable to force a ground fight. It will be all about if he can get that takedown or not. I’m gonna say Altin has some trouble in the striking here, getting beaten up by a superior striker, however, once he gets it down, this is all him. Makanaakua; has no chance on the ground, so it’s all about if he can keep it standing long enough to score a knockout, because I don’t think the fight goes to decision. My money is on Altin, as we know what we’re getting with him, as he has had a fight already, he’ll wear him down on the ground and eventually snatch a submission.
Alton Maxin via Submission (Round 2)
