 The coming month will have two high profiled bantamweight fights between the camps of Mac Little and Aylib 2.0 Two camps with some history between them. Mac is currently up 6-4, but there are more to those numbers so lets look into the details. First up we got this one for the bantamweight title at JAG:
Slammy Neckbreaker vs Ian Laperierre
What stands out here is that Slammy already got an 0-4 record in challenging Ian, 3 of them for the title. That is more than half the losses over his career so far to this single opponent and it is all losses his camp has against the Aylib team, every one of them on poor Slammy. Talk about having some demons to face. What can Slammy possibly bring to the cage this time he didn't bring the last 4 times? Another loss would probably destroy him.
Next up we got this one in the just reopened bantamweight division at Synchronicity:
Glass Joe vs Twea King
Glass Joe already had much more success in MMA than anyone entering the sport at his age could hope for. But coming to one of the premier orgs in the world and going up against a top contender for the title, a younger fighter currently on a 7 fight win streak. Is that not a bit much? The last loss Twea had before hitting that streak was actually against another fighter from the Punch-Out gym, Disco Kid, who later left La Familia for the Legion of Doom. Twea better take this one seriously. Glass Joe does have a history of performing at his best from an underdog position.
Adding to the above how Aylib has been around almost since MMA was invented and is famous for dominating the bantamweight division of every org he sends his fighters to while Mac Little had most of his success in Heavyweight lately. This does look like the score may well even out to 6-6 a month from now. The one thing speaking against that is the number of previous times Mac found a way to break the unbreakable Aylib 135 gameplans and the fact that this is exactly the type of fight Mac and his coaching team love to take their time preparing properly for. Will Aylib keep to his tried & tested ways or will nerves get him to open up and show us some of the less used tools out of that undoubtedly large toolbox he got for his small fighters?
