vs
Brown BJJ Belt Good boxer
Weak Wrestling Basic Wrestling
Unimpressive Striking Blue BJJ Belt
The co-main event of KFC 2: Kennedy vs Burns offers an exciting match-up between a talented BJJ practitioner, the 18 year old Joerfi Valmarsson, and the 24 year old London-favorite Luis Wilde. The outcome of this fight is very unpredictable because of several reasons. First, we couldn't tell if "The Last Viking" would manage to drag the fight to the ground, where he has very serious advantage thanks to his amazing BJJ skills. His wrestling and takedown attempts are still far away from the level he wants them to be, but in a recent interview, Joerfi mentioned that he is training hard on that area. Maybe in his fight at KFC 2 he could try some surprising BJJ trick as pulling guard but we can't say for sure. One thing is for sure - once Valmarsson gets the fight to the ground, he could destroy his opponent. Second reason why this fight is hard to predict is the form of Luis Wilde. "West" is basically known as an impressive boxer, who has the wrestling skills to defend Valmarsson's takedown attempts. On his day, the young Scandinavian wouldn't be a match for him. And third, as they say - "even the walls help at home", there would be lots of exalted British fans, cheering for the London based Luis Wilde. So our advice to tycoon fans is to stay tuned and watch the event on 25.02.
5. MAIN EVENT: Lightweight bout - Liam "Butcher" Kennedy vs Herbert "The Blaze" Burns
odds:
Kennedy (1,60 Favorite) - Burns (1,90 Underdog)
Prediction:
Kennedy by KO
vs
Exceptional Muay Thai Strong wrestling
Solid Wrestling Purple BJJ belt
Has the confidence Unimpressive striking
For the main event the match-makers at KFC have prepared us a solid striker versus grappler fight. Liam Kennedy, who looks like one of the most serious contenders in the lightweight division, comes with an impressive 5-0 amateur record. He is a striking specialist in Muay Thai, who uses heavy punches to deliver rough punishment to his opponents. On the other side, Herbert Burns isn't someone who you would call a proficient striker, but he has an amazing ground game. A lot of pro fighters could learn from his strong wrestling and even stronger BJJ. He became so popular after publishing at youtube a video of himself doing BJJ drills at the gym, that KFC gave him a main-event on his debut fight. So "The Blaze" is yet to prove himself against a more experienced opponent in the face of "Butcher" Kennedy. The key to this fight's outcome would be the answer to the question Is Kennedy's wrestling going to be enough to deflect Burns' takedown attempts, or "The Blaze" will do what he does best and win it on the ground? Watching the event is the best way to know!
FIGHTERS TO WATCH:
1. Jacob "The Military Man" Glotzbach
One of the most serious KFC's young talents. An amazing wrestler, who just left the army. His discipline level and work rate are least to say impressive. Keep an eye on him because he has a great future in the middleweight division!
2. Nico "The Hammer" Hassenkamp
Hassenkamp starts his career with an undercard bout but that should be a measure of his popularity, not his skill. A dexterous striker who also has the wrestling to do well in MMA. Expect him to make a serious run in the welterweight division. Could even turn into a top contender with a few wins.
