 Alpha-1 Promotions: A New Beginning
Author: Jimmy Normal
Sometimes success needs interruption to regain focus and shake off complacency. - Lennox Lewis
It seems that one of the best Boxers of our time and famous MMA Tycoon, Kishion Mathew (of SMASH FC fame), have something in common; neither man is content to rest at the height of their success. Mathew, a clever promoter and successful businessman, works tirelessly behind the scenes to bring MMA to the next level for fighters and fans alike, and now we bear witness to the revelation of his latest brainchild in Alpha-1 Promotions.
The inaugural event for Alpha-1 is nothing short of incredible and marks the Promotions first foray into LA Memorial Colossuseum; an arena that holds almost 100,000 seats. The prelims are stacked with fighters who would normally occupy a main card and the top 4 bouts showcase an all-star selection of MMA’s finest. Here’s my look at the Main & Co-Main events that will take the world by storm on April 17, 2021.
170lb CHAMPIONSHIP MAIN EVENT: Humors Lacplesis vs Max Chaos
Humors Lacplesis is defending his crown for the first time after defeating former SMASH FC Champion Schwartz Gomez in March. Lacplesis needed just 2 rounds to finish the seasoned Gomez with strikes and completely dominated the fight from start to finish. Lacplesis has 2 hands and 2 options for his opponent - lightning or thunder.
Max Chaos is no stranger to the cage either, having fought all over the world and most recently with Synchronicity, this will be his first fight with the new Promotion. Chaos is equally dangerous both standing and on the ground, with 7 t(KO) and 8 submission wins to his credit. The “Captain” has an unwavering chin and the street smarts to take on anyone.
Jimmy’s Prediction: Lacplesis by Unanimous Decision
185lb CHAMPIONSHIP CO-MAIN EVENT: Yes Man Sanchez vs Ibrahim Camara
Yes Man Sanchez took his belt from defending Champion, Harry Winston, back in February of this year and has 1 defense under his belt with a win over Michael Colucci a month later. Sanchez has a gas tank that just won’t quit and the ability to also end the fight on a moment’s notice.
What can you say about Ibrahim Camara? Nothing if you value your teeth. Camara has slept opponents in 21 of his 34 wins. Interestingly enough, Camara has already met Sanchez twice now, fighting to a draw in their first match up and securing the win in the rematch. Both bouts were title fights and the 3rd is no different.
Jimmy’s Prediction: Camara by Stoppage
As mentioned there are so many good fights to watch on the night. Here are a couple I’d suggest you keep your eye on:
135lb CONTEST: Mikey Day vs Usko Matonen
These 2 find themselves on the prelims, but don’t let that fool you. This one is going to be a banger and could very well end up on the ground as both men are talented grapplers.
155lb CONTEST: Kree P Krawlee vs Lazuran Riku
This will be a real test for Krawlee who is going up against a much more experienced fighter in Riku. Still this is a style match up for the most part and could go either way.
