Thanks for the interview man, was cool to get this stuff out there!

Sensei FC 1 Here it is, the first ever event preview for Sensei FC as we get things started on the 4th December 2021 in Tokyo with Sensei FC 1 live from the Micro Arena. I hope you have your tickets at the ready because this event is going to be historic for Asian MMA. Asian MMA will forever be in the heart of Roman Benson and it’s his goal to make the Asian scene great again, just like in the early days of Mixed Martial Arts. Everyone that attends this event will see some of the best up and coming talent from Asia and beyond, each of these fighters and their managers believe in Romans’ ambition. Sensei FC 1 is sponsored by Paddy’s Enhancing Drugs (160Q) Main Event Bantamweight: Viatus "Bee Cha" Enormis (1-0-0) v Bruce McGregor (0-0-0) The main event highlights the Bantamweight division. The Greek, Viatus Enormis takes on the Irishman Bruce McGregor. Before we get into the fighters here I think it’s important to look at the managers of this bout. Mark Vinicius, the manager of Enormis is very experienced at raising new talent up, with nearly 300 fights to his name. On the other hand, Gregory Bison is inexperienced with only 6 fights to his name. The Greek, Enormis comes into this bout off his first win. The 25 year-old took on Max Denbow and showed off his purple belt in BJJ has he secured the submission win in the first round. The purple belt in BJJ alone is testament to the discipline and courage Viatus Enormis displays in his training. Let’s talk about the Irishman, Bruce McGregor who was born and bred in Dublin before packing his bags and moving to Tokyo to take his MMA training and camp to the next level. His main discipline lies in his boxing, he has displayed some fantastic boxing techniques during his camp. Another focus of his camp has been his wrestling building it up to a respectable level, albeit untested in battle. Both fighters, although they both have wrestling in their arsenals are completely different fighters. Bruce McGregor is a striker. A pure boxer looking to know his opponents out. Whereas Enormis is a submission specialist, tested and proven in battle. Although we haven’t seen how Enormis will fair against a standup striker and that might just prove to be his kryptonite. Co-main Light Heavyweight: Henri Web (0-0-0) v Juan "The Shark" Martinez (0-0-0) In the co-main of the evening we have the Finnish viking, Henri Web taking on Cuban fighter Juan “The Shark” Martinez. Chris Sharpe, the manager of Web is a Canadian very active in the MMA scene in Helsinki, with fighters competing all over the world. The manager of Martinez is active as well, in London but most notably for his own organisation that puts on fights in the Tri-State area. Both fighters are untested, taking time to train in their respective camps. Henri Web is very interesting. A brown belt in BJJ, but also has very respectable boxing making him a double threat able to knock an opponent out on his feet or put them to sleep on the ground. On the other hand, Martinez as a Cuban is a fantastic wrestler and also holds a blue belt in BJJ. His blue belt might not be as impressive as Web’s brown belt, but his wrestling ability more than makes up for that. Martinez can control an opponent on the ground, ground and pound to a finish or even lock in an armbar to get the job done. A versatile arsenal for anyone looking to take the fight to the ground. Both fighters have very good skillsets. Although I do think that the versatility that Henri Web brings, both being a danger on the ground and on his feet may just give him the edge here, but we can’t forget about the importance and prominence of a strong wrestling skillset in the sport of MMA. Undercard Welterweight: Jin Mori (0-1-0) v Andrew Wellington (0-0-0) Next up we have the welterweights on the card. The South Korean Jin Mori is coming off a loss in the QFC to an anaconda choke. Now in fairness Mori is a Muay Thai specialist and favours a fight on his feet rather than going to the ground. On the other hand, we have Andrew Wellington coming into his first fight untested. Theres not too much that we know about him, other than the fact that he has a brown belt in BJJ and that may prove vital in this fight as we’ve already seen Mori’s weakness being his BJJ. Both managers are fairly untested as well. However, Matthew Williams (manager of Jin Mori) has had significant more fights in his managerial career than Caustic Clover, the manager of Wellington. However I believe that the managers aren’t important here and that’s nothing against them, I just think that we have a great match up. If styles make fights, we couldn’t have two more conflicting styles than these two. Andrew Wellington, a submission specialist with a brown belt in BJJ taking on Jin Mori who's an expert on his feet, favouring his punches and kicks to get the job done. This could go either way, depending which fighter gets their way. Middleweight: Alex Texeira (0-0-0) v Andre Sawyer (0-0-0) Okay now this is a very interesting bout. Texeira v Sawyer. Brazil v USA. Two countries with a massive impact on the sport of MMA and yet, I don’t think we will see one submission attempt in this entire fight. Both of these athletes are coming in with no prior fights. Both fighters are also coming into this fight with no BJJ experience, or at least little experience. These are two fighters that want to be on their feet at all times. Two fighters that are looking to go to war on their feet, throwing anything they can are their opponents to get the KO or TKO win. Honestly I wouldn’t even be able to guess who would take this fight, however I think we can all agree this fight is ending by knock out or we will all be disappointed. Lightweight: Shinohara "The Kid" Sosuke (0-0-0) v Toby "Scarface" MacAlister (0-0-0) In the lightweight division we get to see two debuts to the division. Sosuke trains out of Tokyo, a native to Japan. Scarface is Scottish but packed his bags and left for Vegas to find a camp tough enough for him. Sosuke is the more well rounded fighter of the two; improving his boxing, muay thai and wrestling. Scarface on the other hand is a boxer. A brawler at lightweight and I’m sure a delight to watch when he gets going. This is one of those fights that favours the more well rounded fighter, but never overlook the knockout power of a boxer. Light Heavyweight: Gary "Assassin" Walters (0-0-0) v Lorenzo Hastings (0-0-0) Here we have Gary “Assassin” Walters making his professional debut against Lorenzo Hastings, also making his debut. Hastings comes from Barbados but trains out of New York and is managed by Rocco Mediate; a manager with more than 1000 wins to his name. Extraordinary. Incredible. Hastings is also quite an expert when it comes to boxing, his game may not be as well rounded as Walters, but his incredible boxing ability may prove to do wonders for the Barbados native. Walters is a Brit coming from London, he trains out of Helsinki in Finland. Managed by Bjj Brady, a relatively inexperienced manager by comparison with less than 20 fights to his name. However as mentioned before Walters is more well rounded as a fighter, spreading his focus across boxing, Muay Thai and wrestling. I do think though the biggest aspect to this fight is the size difference. Gary Walters is walking around at about 198lbs, 7 pounds less than the 205lb limit for the light heavyweight division. On the other hand though, Hastings is walking around at 215lbs before cutting weight, giving him a huge size difference in comparison. I think that the size difference is going to play a major factor in this fight. Featherweight: "Gloomy" Yasuda Takahiro (0-0-0) v Joshua "Hood" Whitlock (0-0-0) Lets get into this one. Yasuda Takahiro, a Japanese native training out of Tokyo which also happens to be his hometown. Another little side note about Takahiro is that he is managed by Roman Benson, the promoter of Sensei FC and the man looking to bring Asian MMA back to greatness. Whitlock comes from the States, training in Las Vegas which also just happens to be one of the most significant cities in the world of MMA. Whitlock is also a teammate of “Scarface” MacAlister who we’ve already discuss as both are managed by Danilo Đilas. Just like Benson, Danilo Đilas is an experienced manager, with more than 130 wins to his name. This fight is surely going to be a stand up clash with quite the clash in styles. "Gloomy" Yasuda Takahiro is a Muay Thai specialist, favouring the use of knees, elbows and kicks to get the job done. On the other hand, Joshua Whitlock is a pure boxer, using his fists to turn the fight into a brawl. The clash of styles makes this fight a difficult one to predict, but nonetheless an intriguing question of which style will prevail. Middleweight: Gabriel Mellios (0-0-0) v Rob Sorby (0-0-0) Gabriel Mellios is a fighter that comes from Luxembourg, not a common nationality in MMA which makes him an intriguing prospect. Mellios is also managed by K Britt, which is important. A manager that will only let talent sign and fight for an organisation when they feel they are ready to compete. Rob Sorby is another Brit on the card training out of New York along with Hastings from the light heavyweight bout further up the card and both are managed by Rocco Mediate. Sorby comes from a background in Muay Thai, combining kicks with knees, elbows and fists; really looking to use every part of the limbs as a weapon. This is one of those interesting clashes of styles as Mellios is a wrestler but also worked on their BJJ to get a purple belt. If he can get his opponent to the mat he can sprawl n brawl them to a finish or even break their arm. Literally the bane to any fighter with next to no ground game. If Gabriel Mellios can get his man down to the mat I have no doubt this fight will end in a stoppage. Middleweight: Sugawara "The Master" Ichirou (0-0-0) v Nathan Fedorov (0-0-0) One of the most intriguing aspects to this young organisation is the amount of young and debuting talent and it keeps coming. If Ichirou lives up to his namesake he will be incredible as he’s known as “The Master”. Another fighter under the guidance of the promoter, Roman Benson. Fedorov is a Russian who moved to Canada to perfect his game. Something I find very interesting here are the nationalities. I realise that sounds weird, however the hatred between Russia and Japan runs deep going back to the Russo-Japanese War in the early 20th Century. If these two truly are representing their countries we will see a very exciting clash. Ichirou is an allrounder of sorts, with both a ground game and a stand up game. “The Master” has spent his camp focusing on both Muay Thai and wrestling, giving him a very intriguing skillset that sets him apart from many of these young lions on the rest of the card. On the other hand it’s the Russian with very little to show in terms of a ground game. He focuses primarily on his stand up, looking to finish the fight on his feet. I for one favour the more well rounded fighter, but never dismiss a good standup offence, especially if the fight never makes it to the mat. Heavyweight: Gwalchmei Wynne (0-0-0) v Mikail Spartakov (0-0-0) Another Rocco Mediate talent on the card, this time jerkin’ the curtain for this evening of action is Mikail Spartakov. A Belarusian native who packed his bags after being scouted for the infamous manager. Wynne on the other hand is Welsh man who trains in Montreal with the incredible Kay Bone. Another important thing to note here very quickly is the age. Spartakov is 18, young enough you might think. However Gwalchmei Wynne is only 16, in many countries still considered a child yet on the 4th December goes to war in the cage. No matter the outcome, we have to admire the young mans bravery. Again we have a clash of styles here. Gwalchmei Wynne is a wrestler through and through, looking to get his opponent to the mat to control the fight from there. Spartakov instead favours his fists, a boxer who has worked on his craft to perfect it. This is one of those fights that can go either way depending on where the battle takes place, on the ground or on the feet. An intriguing fight at heavyweight with the youngest fighter on the roster taking point and opening the show.

Fair enough, probably not one to worry about atm
