Preliminary Bout on Facebook that you MUST SEE
Ryan LaFlare vs. Ben Alloway:
Look for Ryan LaFlare to make a very explosive debut against Ben Alloway. LaFlare is very explosive, and should be able to win in electric fashion.
Winner: LaFlare via TKO rd 3
The Main Card:
Robert Peralta vs. Akira Corassani:
Peralta is the favorite going in, but Corassani is fighting at home in Sweden. Is that going to be enough to carry the upset? Yes it will. Winner: Corassani via Decision
Diego Brandao vs. Pablo Garza:
Brandao is on the rise, and Garza has his back against the wall already. If he looses, he will probably find the cut list. Can his time at American Top Team counter Brandao’s vicious aggression? Probably not.
Winner: Brandao via TKO rd 2
Matt Mitrione vs. Phil de Fries:
Both ‘Meathead’ Mitrione and Phil de Fries are on the outside looking in, towards the elite of the division. Mitrione has better hands, but de Fries is better all around. Good match up.
Winner: de Fries via 2nd rd Submission (*Because of the odds good bet to place!)
Mike Easton vs. Brad Pickett:
Whatever you do, don’t blink! Both fighters have a history of ending fights with heavy strikes, although Pickett should have the better boxing, so if he can avoid the take downs, he should be able to land heavy and often!
Winner: Pickett via TKO rd 1
Ross Pearson vs. Ryan Couture:
‘The Real Deal’ Pearson has very heavy hands, but his ground game is his kryptonite. Couture has the ground game to expose this weakness.
Winner: Couture via Split Decision
MAIN EVENT
Mousasi v Latifi *(Late replacement for Alexander Gustafsson who was unfit to compete due to a laceration.)
At one time Mousasi was one of the top 3 light heavyweights in the world, and probably still should be. In his way a very strong, but relatively unknown Ilir Latifi (training partner of Gustafsson). Mousasi is the obvious favorite, but the match-up could prove to be troubling. Latifi is a strong bulldog, and will certainly be looking to bring the fight to the mat. Can the hometown boy shock the world of MMA, he can…..but he won’t!
Winner: Mousasi via TKO rd 2
