265lbs - Current geezers heavyweight title holder Jack Potatos welcomes former p4p king Anton Chigurh to Geezers to collide in one of the greatest superfights in organizational history. These soldiers are the cream of the crop in the sport of mixed martial arts and have fought the best fighters to ever exist in the realm of combat. Chigurh has a healthy advantage in the clinch and with his kicks, providing him with some interesting options in the fight. Potatos is a very dangerous and durable fighter with crushing power and a threatening ground assault. He has proven in the past that he can absorb some crushing strikes, adding to his confidence in his striking and allowing him to really commit to his offense. If Chigurh can keep the fight in the clinch and stifle the ground assault he is in good form to claim victory. Potatos needs to draw his foe into a brawl and find a way to utilize his potent top ground and pound game.  Although Potatos seems to have a few minor advantages and has a cement chin, I think the clinch assault of Chigurh will be far too powerful to overcome and the former pound for pound champion will win via TKO in the 3rd round.

265+lbs - It is Geezers priviledge to welcome top notch world class warriors Brock Sampson and Emeka Shakur to the organization as they prepare to share the cage in one of the biggest superfights in the companys history. The amount of experience and skill these men bring to the cage is simply astronomical. Sampson has pierced through the ranks mainly by dismantling his opponents with his destructive ground and pound game, leaving his foes bruised and battered. The threat he presents on the ground is very unique at this level of the game and could prove to be the key to success. The knockout rate of Shakur is simply staggering, only one out of his 24 professional victories was not a stoppage. He has a slight edge in the stand up realm and favors his outstanding punching skills. Although Shakur might be the favorite on the feet, I think that the experience advantage Sampson has in the grappling will be too large a pill to swallow. Shakur is also known to have scar tissue problems, resulting in alot of facial damage and cuts. I predict that after a long and technical slugfest, Sampson will emerge victorious in the 4th round via doctors stoppage after landing a large volume of ground strikes.

170lbs - The undisputed king of decisions Urpo Muilu looks to extend his unanimous dominance when he faces the butcher Ronald McDonald in an exciting welterweight rematch stemming from July of last year! Muilu has won a whopping 20 fights by form of unanimous decision and has a masterful relationship with the judges. He has top notch elbows and has a very underrated ground game. Their previous outting resulted in McDonald tapping to a guillotine and giving up Muilu's first and only submission victory. McDonald was winning the fight on the feet before getting caught in the choke and you can bet your top dollar he wants no part with the ground skills of Muilu. Both fighters have improved drastically since they first fought and it's actually a very tough fight to predict even though their gameplans will probably be the same as before. McDonald will surely win the fight if he can retain the clinch position and defend against the takedowns but I think that Muilu simply has his number. I think Muilu will find a way to put him on his back enough to get the nod from the judges.
