  3. Sensei FC 3 Preview Welcome back fight fans! It’s time for the preview of Sensei FC 3! The last two weeks of fight action have been great for the Asian MMA scene and this weekend should be no different. The top young, up and coming fighters of the Asian fight scene clash live in Tokyo in Wild Bob’s Bar! This fight is brought to you by Paddy’s Enhancing Drugs (160Q) Let’s get into the fights! Lightweight - Chris Hooper (1-0-0) v Trinidad James (1-0-0) We start of with the main event and the lightweights. Chris Hooper is a British fighter. He’s a Manc from Manchester, English but packed his bags following his first professional win in the QFC and moved to Tokyo to train. He fights for Queen and Country and won’t let anything get in the way of that. We know he has good conditioning coming into this fight as in his debut he went the distance to win by decision, using his superior Muay Thai skill to stay standing and dominate his opponent in the clinch and using ranged actions with his feet. Trinidad James comes from New York City, where he trains. He’s a fantastic wrestling, looking to dominate his opponents with his ground and pound style, finishing them either by KO or looking to work into a submission position. He also won his first fight, although a lot differently. He finished his opponent on the ground with a series of strikes and elbows. This is a clash of styles. One fighter looking to stay on his feet, the other looking to go to the ground. One of those fights that could go either way, depending on who's better at their particular style. Welterweight - Luca Altieri (2-0-0) v Craig "Shoulders " Kelly (0-0-0) Next up we have the welterweights. This is a strange one. Two fighters of different experiences. Luca is established with two wins in the QFC. One of those wins came by going the distance and winning the favour of the judges. However the second win came from his wrestling ability, wrestling his opponent and forcing them to lose with his dominant GNP ability. Either way the 25 year old forced a win with his wrestling ability and I expect the same in this fight. His opponent, Craig Kelly is a Scot who's dominant discipline is boxing. However, he has also focused on his BJJ making him a treat on the ground if he’s allowed to work into difficult positions. An interesting match up, the Italian taking on 20 year old Craig Kelly who's skills are not as developed. However, if Kelly was to get a win in this bout it would surely be a massive upset and make a statement on the Scottish mans intentions in Sensei FC. Middleweight - Dave "The Kingpin" Murray (1-0-0) v Liu Kang (0-0-0) Next up we have the middleweights. Dave Murray comes from Northern Ireland and calls himself the Kingpin. He’s a wrestler looking to take the fight to the ground in order to finish the fight using his ground and pound style. This is how he won his first fight, using his ground and pound style in the QFC to get his opponent to the ground and finish the fight with a series of hammerfists. His opponent, Liu Kang comes from China and if his namesake is anything to god by, he’s a bad ass. However, we haven’t seen him tested in the cage yet. He’s a Muay Thai fighter, but also has a blue belt in BJJ, unlike Murray who has a white belt only. This mixture of styles makes him some what a threat to the unexperienced as he can work his way into different positions on the ground. However, Murray is a proven specialist when it comes to wrestling and the ground and pound tactics, so this fight in my humble opinion make be one sided in favour of The Kingpin. Regardless, this is a fight that leaves us asking questions of what could be. Welterweight - "Mad Dog Of Shimano" Goro Majima (1-0-0) v Ant Thrax (0-1-0) Next up we have the welterweights. These two fighters have both had different paths. Although both are strikers by nature, their records tell a different story. Starting off with Ant Thrax. His first fight ended in a L, but it’s not that bad when we dig deeper. He lost by decision in a 1 round fight. A single round doesn’t tell the entire story as we know some fighters take a round to get comfortable in a fight. With this being said, Majima finished his debut fight in the first round, forcing the referee to step in early. This fight is a difficult one to call. Majima is a boxer with knock out power, but his opponent is a Muay Thai fighter, we don’t know how good Thrax can be once he gets going. I think that’s going to be the real question of this fight. It’s not about Majima and his dangerous strikes, but instead a question of how good Ant Thrax really is considering we haven’t actually seen anything defiantive from the Muay Thai fighter. Heavyweight - Hiza Guruma (0-0-0) v Radisa "Monster" Ilic (0-1-0) Now we see two small heavyweights, two heavyweights that in fact are closer to be light heavyweights but unfortunately for Hiza Guruma he just misses the 205lbs weight limit. The Japanese man is a Muay Thai kick boxer by trade, he looks to use the clinch to control his opponent before laying in a fury of strikes and kicks to finish the fight. He is of course untested. His opponent, the Serbian Llic has been tested in the QFC and in that effort took a loss by TKO. He’s a well rounded fighter with skills spanning across all skillsets of MMA. However, this may not prove to be helpful when getting into the cage with the Japanese kick boxer who we already know wants to finish fights with a fury of strikes. I do think this fight will finish by a TKO finish by the 18 year old kickboxer, Guruma. Light Heavyweight - Yujiro "YO" Okada (0-0-0) v Pablo "Pablito" Asprilla (0-0-0) Next up we have two young, 18 year old light heavyweights. First, we have Okada. He’s a Japanese wrestler by trade. His wrestling ability is very good although we haven’t seen him tested in the cage just yet. Training out of Tokyo in the Cozad MMA gym, he is working along side a lot of excellent, young fighters that are up and coming in the Asian MMA scene. His opponent is Pablo Asprilla. He comes from Columbia and is a Muay Thai specialist. Looking to control the fight on his feet, unlike his Japanese counterpart who wants to get to the ground. This is a clash of styles and like many of these early fights in Sensei FC, a clash between two young fighters with little to no experience. I look forward to this fight between these two stars as they look to get the fight into completely different territory. Bantamweight - Zlatko Dedic (0-0-0) v Bobby Kilpatrick (0-0-0) Now we get to the bantamweights! Dedic is a master grappler from Slovenia. Although saying that he hasn’t been tested inside the cage just yet. He’s a novice when it comes to MMA with a green record. Also being 18 makes him a very young man stepping into the cage. This promotion is full of these young upstarts. Now, at only 18 years old this man has managed to get himself a brown belt in BJJ, this is a very impressive feet as this takes so much determination. Kilpatrick is another 18 year old, he’s a viking from Finland. A master when it comes to boxing. We know how powerful vikings have been in the past, so I look forward to seeing Kilpatrick debut. Another strange clash of styles. One fighter that wants to grapple and twist his opponent into awkward, painful positions. The other is a boxer, looking to stay standing and dominant on the outside of the cage with a mixture of punches, combos and tricky footwork. I look forward to the outcome of this clash. Bantamweight - Flo Sapio (0-0-0) v Miguel Baez (0-0-0) Another two debuts in the bantamweight division in this bout. Flo Sapio comes from The Philippines but has moved to Tokyo for his camps. He’s a wrestling and an excellent one at that as wrestling is the backbone to his MMA game plan. On the other hand his opponent Baez is a little more well rounded. He comes from Mexico and has fairly good boxing skills. He’s also put some time into training his wrestling ability, although it’s still far off the skill level that Sapio is capable of. Saying that though, this well rounded skillset could be very beneficial to the Mexicans game plan going into this fight as it makes him a treat on both his feet and on the mat. I suppose this fight is going to answer an important question; is it better to have a well rounded skill set or does a fighter benefit from having one discipline mastered? I suppose we will find out the answer to this question this weekend. Bantamweight - Tykas "Bone Breaker" Wong (0-1-0) v Carl "The Jackel" Frampton (0-0-0) Look at that, we have our third bantamweight bout. Carl Frampton or “The Jackel” as he goes by is from Belfast, Tigers Bay to be exact. This is a rough area. He’s a boxer, what? An Ulsterman who's discipline is boxing? How unique. Of course I joke but theres a reason for this. Belfast is a rough town, children are sent to boxing clubs, because if you’re going to fight it might as well be in a controlled environment. He’s a fighter by nature, which makes him very dangerous. His opponent Wong comes from England. His main discipline is BJJ, he’s earned himself a purple belt. He’s also a pretty good wrestler, mixed with his BJJ skill this makes him a very dangerous grappler. He wants to control the fight on the ground to work into a submission which is completely different from The Jackels’ game plan which is to stay standing and throw devastating combos. Both fighters will want to finish their opponent, but who has the better game plan and more importantly who can prevent their opponent from executing their game plan? Only time will tell. Lightweight - Mickey "The Dragon" Wong (1-0-0) v Paker "Papy " Nico (0-0-0) Next up we have the fight that jerks the curtain. The lightweights in this bout are both promising athletes. Mickey Wong comes from England and is going into the cage for the second time, he’s already got a win on his record. As well as already having a win he’s also 21, making him slightly more developed physically than his younger sparring partner. Wong is also a wrestler, but has worked on his BJJ a considerable amount, making him a well rounded grappler. In his first fight he finished his opponent on the ground, using his wrestling to GNP his opponent to a TKO loss. His opponent as stated before is only 18. Paker Nico is a boxer. His boxing ability is very good but being so young he is as well rounded as Wong. However, he isn’t looking to let his opponent take him down, he wants to stay standing and control the fight from the outside of the cage with combos and punches to beat down his opponent. Both fighters pose a threat to each, one is proven however the younger Nico is yet to step in the cage and we don’t know what he’s capable of. I look forward to this clash of styles.
