Funke vs. Williams 

185 LBS

http://www.mmatycoon...502&fidb=330630

A battle of up and coming new fighters anchored by the highly hyped Tobias Funke. Funke a 25 year old Muai Thai ace is becoming the pride of Stockholm Sweden. Funke is current on a three fight win streak all coming by TKO. Funke has (2) boxing,(12) Muay Thai, (7) wrestling and holds a white belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The game plan should be business and usual for Funke like the last three W's the impressive Muay Thai will be the primary offensive weapon, Funke should look to use his wrestling ability to keep things standing. Matt Williams is 25 years old and comes to us from the mean streets of Boston Massachusetts. Williams has (2) boxing, (11) Muay Thai,(7) wrestling and holds a white belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The game plan should look pretty similar as the stand up game is the objective. Both fighters are big for the 185 class and around the same height, the reach advantage will play a vital role. Funke gets the nod in cage experience coming in with a 3-1 record to 0-1 for Williams he needs to use his boxing advantage to gain the upper hand in the stand up. It really comes down to 1 factor who's stand up game will prevail? 

Mathiu Lentz vs. Big Robert

265 + LBS

http://www.mmatycoon...186&fidb=330632

Our Co-Main Event will be a heavy one as both fighters are over 290 LBS! Mathiu Lentz comes to the cage from Nurnberg, Tunisa. Lentz is a 18 year old Muay Thai fighter making his professional debut. Lentz is a (2) boxing, (12) Muay Thai, (1), wrestling and holds a White Belt in Brazlian Jiu Jitsu. Big Robert is an 18 year old boxer from Westeros, Ireland, Robert is also making his professional debut. Robert has (12) boxing, (2) Muay Thai, (2) wrestling and holds a White Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Lentz should look to close the distance use the clinch and Muay Thai to win the stand up battle. Robert will look to stay out of the clinch and utilize his high level boxing to take the upper had in the stand up game. I wouldn't expect either fighter to utilize much ground work, one advantage on paper that may dictate the fight is the height advantage for Lentz. Either way I wouldn't blink in this one, on paper it looks like one fighter will quickly have a one way ticket to the knockout train. 

Cedrick Lambert vs. Terrpu Packalen

155 LBS

http://www.mmatycoon...978&fidb=329803

Cedrick Lambert is a 25 year old balanced fighter from New Orleans, Louisiana. Sporting a 1-1 record Lambert needs the W after suffering a submission loss in his last fight. Lambert will look to use his well rounded skills to control the pace and avoid the ground game all together. Terrpu Packalen is a 24 year old Bjj fighter from Turku, Finland. Turku ihas a 3-2 record, but will be looking to get back on the right track after suffering a submission loss in his last fight. Turku will be looking to use boxing and his brown belt in Bjj to control the distance, pace, and ultimately get the fight to the ground. This fight looks to be a chess match between a well rounded fighter in Lambert vs the ground skills of Turku.

Omar Abu Jafar vs. Commander Vixen

265+ LBS

http://www.mmatycoon...606&fidb=330803

This will be the tallest fight of the night 6'7" vs 6'9"... yikes. Abu Jafar is a 19 year old wrestler and ground game specialist from Damascus, Syria with 0-1 record. Abu Jafar will be looking to get the fight to the ground and use his purple belt in BJJ to dictate the pace or get the submission win. Commander Vixen is a 18 year old boxer from New Jersey USA, Vixen is making his professional debut. Very new to the fight game Vixen's major skill set is his boxing, he will need to use this to control the fight and get that KO. This is the classic striker vs grappler match-up; Jafar has some questions to answer in regards to his chin, his pro debut lasted 26 seconds and ended in a KO loss. Vixen will have to prove his boxing is good enough to keep him off the ground. 

Daniel Kim vs. Dean Martin

170 LBS

http://www.mmatycoon...593&fidb=329649

Daniel Kim is a 18 years old, fighting out of Hilo, Hawaii USA highest stats are boxing (6) and wrestling (8) holds a white belt in Bjj. Kim is making his professional debut and will be looking to use a sprawl and brawl strategy. Dean Martin is 18 years old and comes to us from Steubenville, New York USA, Martin holds a 1-0 MMA record and a 1-0 kickboxing record. Although both his wins are knockouts his strongest stat is wrestling (11) and only a (3) Muay Thai. With that said I suspect some natural KO power in the corner of Dean Martin, "Aint That a Kick in the Head"? This fight is super interesting Kim's boxing maybe just good enough to win the stand up game. Martin may want to over utilize that wrestling advantage and really play the control game. I'm calling it now this will be the fight of the night and remember "You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You"

Dick Gumshoe vs. Aleksandr Kovalev

205 LBS

http://www.mmatycoon...970&fidb=329446

Battle of the wrestlers we have Dick Gumshoe a 18 year old native of Guinea-Bissau, making his professional debut. Gumshoe will look to utilize his wrestling skills and perhaps his height to get the W. Gumshoe stands at 6'7" and has a slight muay thai advantage. Aleksandr Kovalev is a 18 year wrestler from Khabarovsk, Russia with a 2-0 record. With both his wins coming by TKO, Kovalev will look to continue the streak with his wrestling and boxing skills. This match-up is a very intriguing, these fighters are super similar both primarily wrestlers but Gumshoe is 6'7" and better and muay thai (2) vs 1 ; while Kovalev 6'1" better at boxing (2) vs 1. Both fighters are (12) wrestling so that only real difference is the 6 inch height advantage will that decide the fight?

Dylan Lapidus vs. Great Tiger

145 LBS

http://www.mmatycoon...456&fidb=329686

In a matchup that Kurt Sloane and Tong Po would be proud of both Lapidus and Tiger are great Muay Thai fighters. Dylan "The Octopus" Lapidus is 18 years old and hails from Manchester, England. Lapidus has a 1-0 and made short work of his first opponent with a TKO in just 31 seconds. Great Tiger is apparently taking a break from boxing most likely after his loss to legendary boxer Little Mac (Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!!) Great Tiger is a 18 year old Muay Thai fighter from Mumbai, India. Tiger is making his professional debut in MMA, and will look to establish his inner kick boxer to win. Lets hope the teleportation punch does not come into play. This fight is three very clear things #1 It's a couple glass wrapped hands away from being the climatic ending of an 80's Van Damme movie. # 2. A Muay Thai battle royal. #3 the greatest named fighters on the card! Lapidus gets the nickname award but Great Tiger gets the overall name award, blast from the past!!! best part his managers name is Mac Little!!! all his fighters are punch out guys! thank you sir made my night. Truly jealous i didn't think of this first.

John Dexter vs. Howard McCormick

145 LBS

http://www.mmatycoon...850&fidb=323418

John Dexter is a 22 year old pretty balanced fighter coming to us from Chatham, Canada. Dexter holds a 3-3 record and is coming off a submission loss at Annhilator Episode 1. Dexter will look to use boxing and wrestling to control the fight. Howard McCormick is a 19 year wrestler from Helsinki, Finland. McCormick has had a rough go of it lately losing in six straight fights. McCormick will need to use his wrestling and drastic height advantage to get back in the win column. The 6'5" McCormick vs the 5'7" Dexter may be the oddest looking fight of the night, either way both fighters need the W badly so should be a intense one!

Nilo Putsok vs. Dadhri Senchai

170 LBS

http://www.mmatycoon...039&fidb=315375

Nilo Putsok is a 19 year old wrestler and bjj (purple belt) fighter from Helsinki, Finland. Putsok is making his professional debut and will be looking to use his ground game to get his first W. Dadhri is a 25 year old Muay Thai fighter from Fiji. Dadhri has a 5-6 record and will be looking to right the ship after dropping his last two fights via knockout. The overwhelming stat in this fight is Dadhri's Muay Thai ability but will his morale get in the way? Does Putsok have enough ground game to dictate the fight? Find out March 7th!

Kim Bo Myung vs. Dhino Savi

145 LBS

http://www.mmatycoon...912&fidb=329660

Kim Bo Myung is a 19 year old balanced fighter from Incheon, South Korea. Myung has a 2-2 record , but is coming off two straight losses. Myung will be looking to used a balanced attack to control and get the much needed W. Dhino Savi is a 18 year old wrestler hailing from Santos , Brazil. Savi comes in with a 0-2 record and will need to establish the wrestling advantage to get the W. Myung is more balanced no real big stats, but may have the enough balance to control the fight or will Savi's wrestling be to much.
