Hello again ladies and gents Douche "You never go full drunken Irishman" McBaggins checking into the Madness Studio's once again for a Preview to knock your socks right off. When i say Madness Studio's don't get the wrong idea the boss set me up with one of his circus tents and the production team is a bunch of Drunk clown dwarfs. That's neither here nor there though, as what is truly important is another Fan truckin tastic night of Madness MMA fights! Mad 39 will be headlined by Radoslav Petrov vs William Lati in a Lightweight #1 contender fight. Let us now take a quick peak at the prelim list as i take another shot!
Prelims

Feature Prelim Matchup
Welterweight Division
Primo Volto (5-2-0) vs Boxing Mcsparr (2-2-0)
In the final bout of the preliminaries we have fight a 170 pounds which could be detrimental to both of the participants. Primo Volto had a solid two fight win streak broken his last time out at the Hands of Your Sweet Destruction back in early February. Volto though is a 4 fight vet here and is a slick Brown Belt in Jiu Jitsu. Primo in fact has finished all five of his opponents by Submission. His opponent for this encounter will be Boxing Mcsparr whom also had a impressive 2 fight win streak snapped against a fighter both Mcsparr and Volto have losses to in Sean Dickinson. As for Boxing mcsparr the name fits as he is a phenomenal boxer and his fight with Viktor Reznov which earned both fighters "Fight of the Night" honors was a prime example.
Key to victory: This one can't get much more simple Primo needs to get the fight to the ground and rely on his superior ground skills, while Boxing Mcsparr needs to keep it standing. Mcsparr has improved his ground game but i would expect this fight being a chess match and going to a decision.
Main Card
Light Heavyweight Division
Billy Herrington (4-2-0) vs Ralph McGuire (3-1-0)
This next fight is a gem of a scrap, as the returning runner up of the "League of Madness" tournament Ralph McGuire is welcomed back by a very hungry Billy Herrington. Billy is a World Class Muay Thai fighter and with a 3-1 record inside the Madness cage. His fight against Ragnar Ragnarsson was no doubt a great example of what this young 20 year old is capable of. Herrington is also apart of a great camp under the guidance of Mihail Montana. Ralph also comes from a great camp as his mentor Joe River will be in his corner once again for his return. McGuire was well known for his wrestling abilities coming into the start of his pro MMA career, and he showed them well during his time on the LOM show. McGuire though has been out training his ass off and his Muay Thai has since then improved greatly from what i am hearing. Both of these guys have very promising futures and there could be some meetings from them down the road in this beastly packed Light Heavyweight Division.
Key to Victory: As stated Herrington a world class Muay Thai fighter seems to use his clinch sparingly and with the recent Muay Thai training of Ralph the clinch may be the deciding factor. Unless both of these gentleman decide to keep there distance and throw some bombs.
Welterweight Division
Kamaru Usman (5-4-0) vs Quincy Fapple (5-4-0)
we move back to the 170 pound weight class where a couple of guys are looking to get there careers back on track. Usman who is 1-3 in his last 4 fights is a former Island Fighter looking to make a name for himself outside of the Island. "Nightmare" has a good wrestling background and he has some good BBj skills with a purple belt currently. Two of his wins are by submission and his performance at ICC 4 in just his second pro fight earned him a "Sub of the Night" bonus. Quincy Fapple is also a Island fighter looking to make his presence known but is on a current 3 fight loss streak. Fapple had a very good showing against a former Island Champion in Tommy Harinck which earned himself a "Fight of the Night" bonus. Fapple likes to sprawl and brawl as shown with 4 of his 5 victories coming by way of TKO.
Key to Victory: This is like a Liddel vs Couture dual where Kamaru(Couture) the better wrestler will look to impose his takedown abilities against Quincy (Liddel) who will be trying to stuff those attempts and maybe land a nice counter in doing so.
Bantamweight Division
Eno Hlaalu (4-2-0) vs Gervais Lavigne (5-1-0)
Next up we have a 135 pound outing and with the recent Title Grand Prix announced this will be pivotal for both Eno and Gervais. Hlaalu a very balanced MMA fighter has shown that his Submission skills have rapidly been improving. Winning his last three fights with first round submissions (two of which won "SOTN" Honors). This Oblivion Gate team member is looking to keep his has been with Madness since his pro debut and will now welcome a Island stud to the division. That stud is none other then Gervais Lavigne a native of Monaco whom is a very talented Muay Thai practitioner. His only loss was against a stable mate of his under the management of Emily Chenet and has won all of his victories by way of (T)KO.
Key to Victory: another grappler vs Striker, yet Eno is very capable on his feet i do believe at some point he will look to take the feet to the ground. I see Lavigne trying to finish this one early and Hlaalu just looking for an opening so he can strategically find a weakness in his foe's game.
Bantamweight Division
*Co-Main Event*
Joe Tidd (8-4-0) vs Etienne Gueguen (7-1-0)
In the Evenings Co-Main we will see two of the top 135 fighters from the Island Season face off in there Madness MMA debuts. Both of these gentleman may very well be signing there F&BE loan contracts shortly after there fight. Joe Tidd is a former ICC Bantamweight Champion who is on a tough 3 fight loosing streak. Two of those losses where in title fights though so that should be noted, this guy is a ground and pounder and a great one at that. Tidd's first encounter with Jerry Jones at ICC CN 6 was his ultimate showcase as he won the fight by a late 5th round KO from ground strikes. In the other corner is the Island Season Runner up Etienne a training partner of Gervais Lavigne and also native of Monaco. Gueguen is a Ground fighter as well but he has more of a Submission style to his ground game winning 6 of his 7 victories by way of Submission.
Key to Victory: This should be TWGC style contest with Tidd looking to get into Mount position and tee off, while Etienne will be looking to slip a submission in for the victory.
Lightweight Division
*Main Event*
William Lati (9-3-0) vs Radoslav Petrov (5-1-0)
Now it is time for are feature bout a #1 Lightweight Contender bout between William Lati and Radoslav Petrov.
William Lati is a former ACE fighting League Lightweight champion and he has a golden opportunity in his Madness MMA debut to capture yet another belt. Lati is a vicious striker with all 9 of his pro wins coming by way of Knock Out, and only one of them even made it out of the first round. With 4 KO of the Night performances to his credit he may very well be the most feared power striker in the LW division.
Standing in his way is Radoslav Petrov the brother of current Welterweight champ Vasil petrov and like his bro he is a very skilled Muay Thai fighter. Radoslav may not have the accomplishments as Lati quite yet but his KO ability speaks for itself winning all of his 5 victories by way of TKO and his fight with Hector Morales at Madness 25 was voted "Fight of the Year" at Madness for 2019. With the recent takeover of Team Fury Radoslav is searching to join his 5 team mates with Madness championships but he will be tested against a legit power puncher in Lati.
Key to Victory: William has all the credentials to go down as one of the most feared strikers in MMA History but the same can be said for Petrov. I expect an all out war but i do not see it going past the first round. Whomever can land a clean shot first will win this fight and this should be the favorite for KO of the Night.
This has been another installment of MADNESS MMA previews with your host Douche McBaggins.
On a side note these Dwarf clowns are getting really feisty now and it's time to get these little freaks drunk, check me out on Youtube later with a special Evil Drunken Dwarf Clowns paint the town with Douche.
Peace!
