Bound for Konflikt Final


 


 


Written by: Ikki Takeda


The second fight event happening this Saturday in Las Vegas is at The Palmtree with a seating capacity of 2200. And has some faces you more than likely you are already aware of.



Buddy Barnett vs Otavio Augusto. This is the Main Event and is the finals of the 185 pound tournament. Buddy Barnett will be coming into this 3-0 and has a lot of hype behind him and is the crowd favorite. He has a win in every category ko, submission, and decision. He is a Missouri state wrestling champion and decided to not go to college and just work and focus on his MMA career. He started his MMA career as nothing more than a wrestler and has evolved his wrestling with earning a purple belt in bjj. He also will be coming into this fight with over an 80% takedown percentage rate of success. Otavio Augusto will also be entering the cage with a 3-0 record. He first started his career studying under Demian Maia and entered the tournament as grappler and blue belt in bjj. He has finished and submitted every opponent and expects nothing different on Saturday night. Leading up to clash with Barnett he has been working on his stand up game and will definitely have the advantage if the fight stays there.

Prediction: Buddy Barnett submission



Moe Lester vs Scott Adkins. This is the Co-Main Event. Lester is coming in with a crowd of support behind him and 2-0 on the local circuit before catching the eye of the CEO of Konflikt. Looking to find his way in the talks of being crowned the first champion at 185 will be looking to put on another KO performance. Scott Adkins will be coming in 1-0. This English fighter is very well rounded on the feet and can handle the fight anywhere there. Sources have it he has been overworking himself in the gym training up for this fight and may be a bit tired come the night of the fight.

Prediction: Adkins KO if he rests otherwise Lester by KO


 


Ethan Glover vs Carson Wood. Ethan Glover fought on the very first card in Konflikt losing and leaving the org to sharpen his game on the local circuit massing two wins in a row before making his comeback fight to Konflikt and looking to make it a memorable one. His opponent for the dance on Saturday is Carson Wood who is a grappling specialist out of Talladega. His loves are fast cars, women, and grappling. I heard he trains at Fight Club but I can't get him to talk about it. Will Glover become 3-1 and grab his first win inside the cages of Konflikt or will Wood keep 0 and become 3-0? By a ticket for Saturday as they go on sale tomorrow night for $150 and find out.

Prediction: Wood submission



Nicho Adebayo vs Ryan Rodriguez. This 155 contested fight has both guys putting up their unbeaten losing record in a reverse somebody's 0 must go. Adebayo will be looking to sand in their and draw Rodriguez into a slugfest where he feels he has the advantage in a dog fight. Rodriguez has used his loss on the local circuit as a catalyst and joined Project Cadmus which have been doing great things in training fighters. Will he look like the same guy who lost on the local scene? My sources say no.

Prediction: Rodriguez KO



Barry Allen vs Aslan Smagulov. This fight kicks off the main card. Barry Allen is coming in 1-0 with a lightning fast knock out. He is a striker with a mediocre ground game. He will most likely look to stand in the pocket and trade with Smagulov who is a ground specialist. Allen will be coming in with the speed advantage. Smagulov will look to wrap up Allen and take him down and submit him. But what has his training been like and has been over training? These are things to watch out for.


Prediction: Allen KO



Undercard Predictions:

Jimmy Rage vs Tommy Robinson: Robinson KO

Eddie Brock vs Carl  Watts: Watts KO

Kaplan Temrezov vs Henry Armstrong: Armstrong KO

Brenton Steele vs Severi Damage: Seele KO

Raymond Barron vs Xavier Frost: Frost KO
