SF1 Chigurh vs Marko Preview

Hello fight fans! This is the first official preview of the first official fight card of Sisu Fights, located in Helsinki Finland! Without further ado, I present you the main event:

Main event: 265 lbs title fight Anton Chigurh v Cain Marko

As Goldie would say, these guys look virtually identical! With brown belt BJJ and everything else top notch, both of these guys are really Elite killers. Their records are nearly identical too, 35-21 for Chigurh and 36-20 for Marko, and with the combined KO/TKO record of 50-34, this should be fireworks! Both fighters are already bit past of their prime, but I bet they are still hungry for another belt for their prize shelf. Marko has a distinct 25 cm height advantage which could play for his favor, unless Chigurh can close the distance and work on his deadly clinch game, like last summer when these two gentlemen collided first time. Back then Chigurh nearly finished Marko on second round, but nevertheless I'll give slight edge to Marko due to his recent strong performances.

Co-main event: 205 lbs Trevor Reznick v Jamal Jackson

Our co-main event is a battle between two up-and-coming, undefeated fighters (3 wins for Reznick and 2 for Jackson), Muay thai specialist Trevor Reznick versus boxer Jamal Jackson. Both fighters will likely want to keep the fight standing, so this should be fun fight for just bleed guys! Reznick has very versatile attacks on feet, both from distance and from clinch, whereas Jackson is more of a pure boxer. Jackson is never been hit in his professional fights, and Reznick has some serious knockout power in his hands and legs, so it will be interesting to see how Jackson reacts when somebody touches his chin. Due to the more mixed arsenal of offensive tools, I predict a TKO win for Reznick.

205 lbs Chris Kyle v Janis Petke

Another match where someone's perfect record will take a hit, when ground and pounding wrestler Chris Kyle (2-0) takes on wrestleboxer Janis Petke (2-0). It is clear that Kyle wants to drag the fight to the mat where he can pound his way to the victory, whereas Petke will use his his counter wrestling in order to keep the fight standing where he can punch Kyles face to bloody mess. This fight is all about who can dictate where the fight takes place, so it's a real toss up, who has trained harder and who has a better game plan. Prediction: Kyle by TKO via GnP.


145 lbs Clark Kent v Dean Kagelberg

If the co-main event was a going to be a stand-up war, this one is certainly going to be a ground battle, or will it? Wrestler Clar Kent (4-0) usually takes fighters to the ground without any set up and pounds away there, but now he is facing a BJJ specialist Kagelberg, who also has no stand up skills to speak of. Kent is a white belt in BJJ, so taking down brown belt Kagelberg is going to be a bit of a risk here, but for the sake of entertainment I hope he does do that, as this will be a horrible stand up match if it stays standing. On the ground, Kent needs to keep the top position and pick his shots carefully, or Kagelberg will twist his limps to a knot. On the otherhand, Kagelberg couldn't submit his last opponent who was also just a blue belt, and it has been reported that Kagelberg has been on a bit of a party streak on new years eve. Let's see if he can regain his energy by Saturday, or will he enter the cage with hangover... Prediction: Kagelberg by triangle submission.

Also on card:

170 lbs Bokser Turniejowy (2-1) v Jim McJimmy (1-0)
265+ lbs Tero Hiippari (0-1) v Palle Runqvist (3-0)
205 lbs Kia Turunen (1-1) v Monument Obelix (0-1)
205 lbs Van WolfsWinkle (0-1) v Antero Mela (1-1)
205 lbs Algot Von Panzerhosen (0-1) v Draciel Rangel (0-2)
205 lbs Ville Alasin (0-1) v Jimmy Joannides (0-2)

Oh snap, thanks for the great preview VeikkoK!

I hope your right about Reznick. It's true, he has a solid chin, KO power and a more versatile attack so on paper he should be able to win this fight. However, there is one factor you did not take into consideration and that is who Jackson's manager is, the one and only Ethan Downs. His slider fu is far far FAR better than mine is and whatever advantage I think I have I'm sure he knows exactly how to deal with it and will make me look like I just came off the noob bus! I'm hoping Reznick is one of my future stars and this fight will be a true test of that.

Clark Kent= Beast. That is all.

SF1 Chigurh vs Marko Review

 

We had a excellent event yesterday at Sisu Fights, only three decisions on whole card and lot's of stand and bang action! Congratulations to all for good fights! Here's the recap of main fights:

 

Main event: 265 lbs title fight Anton Chigurh v Cain Marko

 

Both fighters started to throw heavy leather right from the start, and as expected, Chigurh tried to clinch with Marko, but did not succeed. After a minute and half Chigurh landed a nice uppercut that cut Marko, and after three minutes he was able to stun Marko with hard jab which opened Marko's cut even more. Chigurh was finally able to instigate the clinch, but couldn't really do much there, so he break the clinch quickly before the end of the round. Although the round was somewhat close, Chigurh landed more damaging blows and probably earned the nod from the judges. Second round and Marko was still missing most of his strikes, until the half way to the round Marko connected with solid punch which rocked Chigurh, and shortly after that he landed a monster overhand right which put Chigurh down, and after few more strikes ref stepped in.

Winner, and new heavyweight champion, by way of TKO (Strikes). Cain Marko!

 

Co-main event: 205 lbs Trevor Reznick v Jamal Jackson

In our co-main event, versatility of Reznick was not enough, as Jackson avoided most of the punches by Reznick from distance, and even though Reznick was able to instigate the clinch several times, his Muay Thai was completely nullified by Jackson; not a single elbow or knee went through his defences. Reznick's best tool was his leg kicks, but Jackson responded well with his punches, and took first somewhat easily. Second round was closer, but still Jackson won it on all scorecard. In the last round Reznick's leg kicks started to take a toll on Jackson's movement but it was too little too late for Reznick. Jamal Jackson wins by decision (28-29,27-30,28-29)! Impressive performance from both fighters.

 

205 lbs Chris Kyle v Janis Petke

Kyle went for a takedown immediately, but Petke sprawled well, and cut Kyle with nice hook. Few minutes on standing with Petke landing with his punches and Kyle missing with his strikes, and then Kyle went for another takedown, landing in half guard. Kyle moved quickly to mount and landed very precise punches for over a minute, until referee finally stopped the fight.

Winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Chris Kyle!

 

 

145 lbs Clark Kent v Dean Kagelberg

Well, this was fast. Kent showed no fear for Kagelberg BJJ, but went for an instant takedown into the half guard. Kagelberg advanced to full guard and worked on a guillotine but nothing there. Kent started to land increasingly heavy ground and pound, and rocked Kagelberg. Kagelberg turtled up under the pressure and ref stepped in after only 59 second of the first round. Winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Clark Kent!

Results from undercard:

Jim McJimmy defeats Bokser Turniejowy via Decision (Unanimous)
Tero Hiippari defeats Palle Runqvist via KO (Punches)
Kia Turunen defeats Monument Obelix via Decision (Unanimous)
Antero Mela defeats Van WolfsWinkle via TKO (Strikes)
Algot Von Panzerhosen defeats Draciel Rangel via TKO (Strikes)
Ville Alasin defeats Jimmy Joannides via TKO (Strikes)

 

My predictions for this event went 2-2. I underestimated the effect of gameplanning skills of Jacksons camp and Kent was just brutal, no time to submit him when he constantly punches you to face!

[Dee]

Good stuff VeikkoK!

SF2 Ruutu vs Jokinen Recap

Sorry guys that I wasn't able to deliver the preview this time. Hopefully you like the recap though:

Main event: 170 lbs fight Jakke Ruutu v Orpo Jokinen

In our main event of the night we had a Finn-on-Finn crime about to happen! Both guys were amped up to get their fists on each others face. Soon after the opening bell it was clear how this fight would pan out: Jokinen was looking to counter takedown his opponent early and often while Ruutu wanted to throw some heavy leather standing. Much to Ruutu's concern Jokinen was able to take the fight to the ground almost immediately the first round started. From there on it was a battle of wits when Jokinen was on attack and Ruutu tried to get his butt up from the mat. As the fight progressed it looked like Ruutu got the hang of it and was able to keep it standing more efficiently and in the striking range there he picked his opponent apart. Going to the later rounds it was obvious how Ruutu's experience played a big part here. At the end of the third round it was clear that Ruutu had done enough - unfortunately that doesn't always mean that the ring side boxing judges agree with that so Ruutu had to wait for a little longer for the verdict.

(wow they got it right) Winner by unanimous decision: Jakke Ruutu! - Fight Of the Night

Co-main event: 170 lbs Martin Zaromskis v Keke Pummel
In our co-main event we had two very experienced welterweight contenders going at it. Much like in our main event it was a case of counter takedowns versus keeping ot on the feet and striking. Zaromskis scored his first takedown early in the first round and went to work. Pummel kept his composure but wasnt able to stand up untill at the end of the round when the ref stood the scrappers up. It seemed like the versatility of Zaromskis overwhelmed his opponent. Pummel had his hands full while Zaromskis threw punches, kicks, clinch strikes, takedowns plus the kitchen sink at him. After three rounds of true MMA mayhem both guys were exhausted but in good shape, neither was in any real danger at any point of the fight.

Winner by unanimous decision: Martin Zaromskis!

205 lbs fight: Ivan Grozni v Desmond Miles
These two savages are no stranger to vicious KOs! Both guys have landed - and received - their fair share of conciusness removing blows! Combined they have had a total of 44 fights which of 25 fights have ended via KO victory and 15 via KO loss (only 4 decisions ever). So it would be safe to predict that someone is going to get knocked the f*** out? Well that was exactly what happened here. It was probably the most entertaining two minutes I've seen for a while: both guys go full rock em sock em robots on each other. Both get cuts immediately and there is blood everywhere! After some glorious wild swinging of punches Grozni finally lands a haymaker which sends Miles to sleep. The strikes after that were only semantics, Miles was already out on his feet.

Winner by way of TKO (Strikes): Ivan Grozni! - KO Of the Night

265 lbs fight: Arnie McDougle v Leather Slammer
A classical striker versus grappler set-up here. ...but you know what? Im gonna save some of your time and provide you a link where you can actually watch this fight. It didnt last much longer than that fight before Slammer slammed his head to the canvas. The official decision is KO (Punch) but really it was the first head kick that did the job.

Winner by way of KTFO (Punch): Arnie McDougal!

Results from the undercard:

Volkov defeats Brad Ryan via TKO (Strikes)
Heikki Heinonen defeats Gary Hughes via Unanimous Decision.
Thomas Dijkman defeats General Lee via Submission (Guilliotine) - Submission Of the Night
Sam Nujoma defeats Luis Machin via Unanimous Decision
Lasse Kongo defeats Semax Madurov via Unanimous Decision
Asda Price defeats Robinson Cruzo via TKO (Punch And Knee)

SF 3 Recap

 

Pikku Näkäräinen vs Katsu Higashikuni

Our main event was pure grapplefest, Näkäräinen went for takedowns and Higashikuni tried to transition to better positions. after back and fort transitioning it looked like we would see second round but suddenly when there was only five seconds left of the round Näkäräinen went for a tight Americana, and Higashikuni screamed in pain, refusing to tap, but referee stopped the fight without waiting for the tap. Probably saved Higashikuni from long injury layoff. Näkäräinen wins via Submission (Americana) in round 1!

Anti Satosari vs Yossi Avitan

In our co-main event two old guns battled for glory. Quite slow start to the fight, much missed strikes from both fighters. Avitan had a better start, but on third minute he got cut from Satosari's head kick. All judges saw the round for Satosari, but besides the cut and pressing the action, I think Satosari didn't do much. But neither did Avitan so... In second round things got more exciting, as Satosari knocked Avitan to the canvas in opening seconds of round two with a nice combo. He let Avitan up, and decided to hunt for a knockout on feet. Alas, that didn't come, and the rest of the round was similar countering as the first round. Satosari landed more damaging blows, and the knockdown, so this round was clearly Satosari's. In last round Avitan tried to turn the tides, and did won the round, but he needed a finish which he did not get. So 28-29 decision win for Anti Satosari!

Kale Kummola vs Bushido Brown

Another last second finish in main card. Kummola took Brown down, but Brown quickly took Kummola's back. Brown went for few submissions and landed some weak strikes from back, but after few minutes Kummola was able to turn back into Brown's guard. From there, Kummola quickly moved into mount, landed a few hard shots and Brown was out. Nice GnP! Kummola wins via KO (Strikes)!

Kalle Reinikainen vs Richie Fanoogon

Fanoogon really wanted the fight to the ground, going for 9 takedown in two minutes. But that seemed to be mistake, as Reinikainen defended his submission attemps well, and in the last seconds of the round, snatched up his own submission. Reinikainen wins by Submission (Triangle Choke)!

On preliminary card:
Luke Jones defeats James Assange via Decision (Unanimous)
Bobby Bishop defeats Perseen Suti via Decision (Unanimous)
Pikku Kakkipylly defeats Wakka Pakka via Decision (Unanimous)
Jamal Jackson defeats Chris Kyle via TKO (Strikes)
Paul Gregory defeats Pertti Kiilopaa via TKO (Cut)
Deividas Vilkas defeatsDark Hell via Decision (Unanimous)

Sisu Fights 4 Preview

Main event:
Sebastien Linne v Usko Luttinen

Our main event is a fight between a VERY old guard fighter Sebastien Linne and another veteran Usko Luttinen, who at age 25 is really a young gun compared to 39 year old Linne. Both fighters have had some up and down in their careers, and they currently are just inside top 100 in their weight class. Looking at their records, the most interesting point is maybe that Linne has never been finished in his 48 career fights (15 losses), and Luttinen is also finished only twice in his 7 defeats. So this will most likely see the scorecards, but that doesn't make this fight any less interesting. Both fighters have diverse skills sets and in theory fight could take place anywhere, both fighters prefer stand up battle, so we will most likely see a nice standup brawl. No idea who takes this. Linne via decision?

Co-main event:
Frank Reynolds v Hidalgo Montoya

Another veteran match-up between striker Frank Reynolds more well rounded Hidalgo Montoya. In his 40 fights, Reynolds has never even tried to take anybody down, so it should be obvious what he is trying to do here. Montoya on the otherhand is a elite level boxer but also a black belt in BJJ, and has had multiple submission victories in his career. Montoya is riding on a four fight win streak, whereas Reynolds has lost one in his last six, so both fighters are having a nice success in their veteran years. Due to the more diverse offense capabilites, I predict decision win for Montoya.

Hector Williams v Yutaka Kanda

KO coming! Both fighters have won (and lost) most of their fights via KO/TKO, and we have a fair change of seeing one here also. Although elite wrestler, Williams uses his wrestling only for defensive purposes to keep the fight standing where he usually delivers, either from range with punches and leg kicks, or from the close quarters with nice dirty boxing. Kanda, formerly know and Mark McGowan before changing his identity for undisclosed reasons, can also fight on ground but has preferred to know people silly on feet, KO'ing both with hands and feet. Knockout and Fight of the Night material. Prediction, Kanda via KO.

Trouble Some v Simba Burns Jr

205lbs strap on the line, as Trouble Some figts Simba Burns Jr for the vacant title. Some is ranked much higher than Burns, but they are quite evenly matched skillwise. I don't know what to think about this, it's surely a nice fight but I have nothing in my tank anymore. Someone call Goldberg and Roegan to shout some sponsor ads and virtually identical lines about elite killer fighters.

Helio James v Kake Nyrkki

And we also have 170lbs title on the line, Helio James versus Kake Nyrkki. Not a change, I'm finished. Best of luck to next writer, Sisu Fights is great employer but my creativity has hit the rock bottom. Adios and enjoy the fights!

Also on card:

Jorge Cruz v Timo Vasconcelos
Arvi Rausku v Calvin Duran
Kato Aspenia v Reino Tolonen
Lowieke De Vos v Kalle Kolmiokuristus
Jani Tokkola v Bullock James

SF5 Marko vs Speed - Preview and predictions by Callum McGregor

 

 

Daniel Speed (31-10) Vs Cain Marko (37-20) – Heavyweight Championship

And now, the main event of the evening. “The Phenom” Cain Marko defends his heavyweight belt against “The Tempest” Daniel Speed. Daniel Speed is an experienced stand up striker who has won 4 championships in other organisations throughout his career. Originally debuting as a Middleweight, and will be giving up around 30 pounds on fight night when he challengers for Marko’s belt. Speed has been in there with some of the best, and his career highlights include a very close decision loss to former world number 1 Smokudju Womba, and a recent victory over then 15-0 heavyweight kingpin James Proudstar. Speed looks to use his kickboxing skills to break down his opponent, and is not scared of throwing in a takedown to earn himself some marks on the judge’s scorecards. Although he has 20 (T)KOs to 11 Decision victories, Speed is a relatively safe fighter. He doesn’t go hunting for the stoppage. If it comes, he’ll take it, but his main focus is on winning the fight. Throughout the last 8 months, Speed has had some trouble with cuts. Of his last 5 losses, 3 have finished in the doctor’s hands, so a loss in such a manner tonight might start a few calls for retirement from his loyal fans. Despite being just 29, The Tempest has had a long and storied career, and it seems like the damage has taken its toll. Another thing to note is that this is Speed’s longest run without a title shot or post fight bonus throughout his entire career. This championship fight breaks the duck, but this is do or die for the challenger.

 

Cain Marko has had an incredible 57 fight career, and at 36 has arguably reached the height of his success. His career highlight is an epic trilogy with J Breaker, where he went 1-2 but managed to capture the HEAVYWEIGHT PRIZEFIGHTING title in their first encounter. For much of his career, Marko was fighting as a Super Heavyweight, but his success has clearly come from dropping down to 265. Marko’s style isn’t the most technical, and isn’t the most skilful, but damn is it exciting. “The Phenom” walks into the cage with one goal in mind; a stoppage victory, and 29 times in his professional career he has achieved just that. Marko goes out swinging, and most of the time he manages to get a knockout, but he’s been on the receiving end of his share of knockout losses. 16 times his opponents have halted him inside the distance, but that has never stopped him from doing what he does best; swing for the fences. Holding the title means everything to Marko, and he knows that this is his last run to go down in history. With Sisu Fights sitting on his door step, and the championship gold on his shoulder, Cain Marko has the opportunity to change his career and solidify himself as one of the greatest of all time. Before he can achieve greatness, he must cross one more obstacle; Daniel Speed.

 

This fight will be a war from start to finish. With the exception of a possible takedown or two from Speed, this fight will take place primarily on the feet. I think Speed will be taking the advantage on the scorecards, but is always one punch away from staring up at the stars in being against a heavy handed slugger like the champ. With only 3 (T)KO losses on his record, I think Speed’s chin should be able to hold up, and I think that’s a major factor in this fight. It could go either way, but this is how I predict it will go.

 

Prediction - Speed by Decision

 

 

 

Davor Langerholc (16-4) Vs Jummi Jammi (10-5)

 

Dubbed “The Executioner”, Langerholc is one of the most sordid professional fighters you’ll find around the circuit. The details of his past are not fully known, but one thing we know for sure if that a career of brutalizing people has allowed him to fit right into mixed martial arts. Davor joins Sisu Fights after a long running career fighting in the now defunct HERO FC. This is his first time fighting outside of the promotion, and it’s a very interesting dynamic to see if he can recreate his successes. The Slovenian took part in 4 title contest, and is a former Light Heavyweight Champion. Now in Sisu, the question on everyone’s mind is wither or not he can do it all again. At 26, this BJJ expert has a lot ahead of him. Davor will look to take the fight to the ground and put a beating on his opponent. He might go for ground and pound, or he might hunt out a submission, but one thing is for sure; you don’t want to be on your back against Davor Langerholc!

 

Jummi Jammi has fought all over over Helsinki, taking his skills to some of the top promotions. In his Sisu debut, Jammi wants to keep the fight standing, keep his composure, and work behind his punches. Jammi is a very intelligent fighter, and knows when and when not to go for blood. Winning 5 of his last 6 fights, Juammi could make a huge impact at 205 if he can earn a victory tonight. Whilst fighting in HERO, Jammi earned himself 2 fight of the night awards, as well as one knockout of the night bonus. This is why Sisu has taken him in, and the fans will want to see his brand of striking on the big stage once again.

 

It’s surprising that these two have never met before, having 26 fights in HERO between them. I think the winner will be pretty convincing here, as one just has more experience at the top level, and can exploit his opponent’s weaknesses quite easily.

 

Prediction – Langerholc by Submission

 

 

 

Pena Trasseli (19-5) Vs Ori Jokinen (12-7)

 

Trasseli is a full on veteran of MMA Helsinki. With 20 fights in the promotion, Trasseli has proved his loyalty. It’s also interesting to note that despite an 8 fight winning streak, Pena didn’t once get a title shot, and he still never took his ball and went home. Pena is a fighter, and if it’s for a title, if it’s not, it’s not important. All Trasseli wants to do is go in there and take on any opponent they put in front of him. 14 victories by KO or TKO prove that Pena is not a man to be messed with in a striking exchange, and “Inhottava” would relish the opportunity to put an opponent’s lights out. A loss in his last fight has put a bit of pressure on the Finland native.

 

Ori “The Stallion” Jokinen, the lightest man on the card, will be fighting in his home town on Feb 2nd, and is looking to get back into winning ways. After going an impressive 6-1 in his MMA career, he is now 2-4 in his last 6 with his last fight ending in a TKO defeat. Stallion has had his title opportunities, but has never fought the level of competition that Sisu offers. Jokinen is a good striker, and looks to throw a lot of punches to put his opponent on the back foot. Losing 5 of 8 decisions shows that Jokinen wants to finish the fight inside the allotted time to get the best chance of getting a victory.

 

This would well be a fight of the night candidate. I think Pena is just a different calibre of fighter, and will win this by stoppage.

 

Prediction – Trasseli by (T)KO

 

 

 

Bushido Brown (24-15) Vs Aldo Raine (27-14)

 

Bushido Brown is a highly experienced fighter, and is a former 2 time Soul Supremacy 185 champion. At Sisu Fights 3, he took on Kale Kummola in a number 1 contender’s fight. Despite long better on paper, Brown was stopped in the first round. At the bottom of the ladder, the heavy handed 33 year old has a lot of ground to cover if he wants another shot at gold.

Aldo Raine, a former US Navy Lieutenant, has held championship belts in 4 different MMA promotions. Raine likes to keep the fight standing and land some and work his shots. Most of his victories have come by Decision, so some people may criticize his safe approach to competing. None the less, Aldo knows what it takes to compete and earn a victory.

 

This is a very difficult one to call, as both are very good stand up fighters. I think Raine might be the better of the two if he can keep his hands up and slip his opponent’s punches, but Brown is always one punch away from taking the win.

 

Prediction – Raine by Decision

 

 

 

Randy West (12-9) Vs Umberto Sotto Jr (11-7)

 

Like a lot of Sisu fighters, West spent most of his time fighting in the long running HERO promotion. His record shows his mixed results, but it doesn’t take away from West’s heart. He likes to stand and trade shots, land his hard leg kicks, and break his opponent down over the distance.

Sotto is a knockout specialist, and hunts to remove his opponent’s heads from their shoulders. At times this strategy has cost him, most notably in his last 4 fights where he has been stopped 3 times, but you know someone is going when he steps into the cage, which is why he is such an exciting man to watch.

 

Since Sotto has never went the distance, it’s safe to say this one won’t either. I think West doesn’t have the power to put Umberto on the back foot, so it will only be a matter of time for him.

 

Prediction – Sotto by (T)KO

 

 

 

Seppo Hovi (7-1) Vs Giampaolo Pietravallo (7-2)

 

Hovi impressively disposed of all 7 of his opponents before taking a loss to our co main eventer Davor Langerholc. Hovi will have redemption on his mind, and if the fights go his way, he may finally be able to avenge the loss which haunts him at night.

Despite finishing his first 5 opponents, Giampaolo has not managed to finish a fight in his last 4. The Italian uses his striking to set up takedowns, where he wants to work for position and land some ground and pound.

Hovi will be determined here, and I think the drive to avenge his only loss will carry him through this one.

 

Prediction – Hovi by (T)KO

 

 

 

Undercard:

 

Anton Chigurh Vs Arne Riseman
Prediction – Chigurh by (T)KO

Uno Louner Vs Orpo Jokinen

SF7 PPV1 PREVIEW

http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1391614598Sisu6.jpg

Hello fight fans! I hope you are having a great St Valentine’s day cuz the time for love and cuddling and roses is almost over! Tomorrow Sisu Fights will hold its first PPV event and they hired me, the almighty Bel Ciganin, to be the annalist for this memorable moment in MMA history. Since my valentine (a bottle of Scotch) is drained and I have nothing else to do I figured I should get on with my noble task and write a couple of lines of what’s to come. SF7 PPV 1 has 3 title fights on the line so to say this event is of great significance for the entire org is an understatement. We have gathered 20 of the best fighters in Europe (and not only) and I am in awe of the bloodshed that is about to come. I am guaranteeing you this PPV will be worth spending your money on. Let’s get into detail:

 

“The Tempest” Daniel Speed vs Miami Vice Main Event! Heavyweight title on the line! The fight that every person in the world that is remotely close to MMA has been waiting for! Our main event, “The Tempest” Daniel Speed locks horns against Miami Vice. Daniel Speed is considered as one of the best fighters that has ever graced the cage in MMA Tycoon. He has fought the #1 P4P fighter in the world and gave him one hell of a run for his money. I am willing to consider that Speed is gonna be the face of Sisu Fights if he beats Miami Vice as he has the looks, charm and fighting abilities that make women scream. If your wife doesn’t want to get back to the kitchen, call this guy. Miami Vice doesn’t know how to loose… No matter what kind of an obstacle there is in front of him, the Miami native always finds a way to win. I am really interested to see whether Miami is the real deal or whether his win streak is a product of careful match making and ducking. OF course ducks aren’t tolerated in Sisu so if I were you, I would not afford myself to blink on this one …

 

Frank “Fast Hands” Reynolds (21-7-3) v “Kruel” Kale Kummola (13-4-0) Co-main event! For the 155lbs title! Our co-main event is just as epic as the main fight of the night. We have Frank Reynolds and Kale Kummola, two absolute savages going for it in order to establish a lightweight champion. Both guys are coming off big wins so the only logical thing here is to have them decide who the champ will be. Reynolds, having 33 pro fights, has been there and done that – he really has the edge in experience, but Kummola has never backed down from a fight against the toughest guys available so I think that won’t be much of an advantage. Frankie has to show he is indeed fast handed and keep Kale at a reasonable distance and pick him apart cuz the if the Finn gets it to the ground Reynolds will be in a shit load of trouble – Kummola is a legit black belt and I’ve seen him tap people out with one hand tied behind his back!

 

“The Blond” Katsu Higashikuni (25-14-1) v “Nightstalker” Ricardo Ramirez (21-11-0) Featherweight fight Sizu is really the top org in Helsinki and fight like this prove it. We have two real veterans in Higashikuni and Ramirez that only want us to let them bang bro and the winner might just show us who’ll be the next contender in 145lbs weight class. Ramirez is someone that I won’t be interviewing before or after the fight cuz the guy is psychotic – the number of crimes he did is too damn high so Katsu better watch out cuz he might not leave the cage in one peace. I doubt he gives a fuck as he has that rock star long blond hair and a BJJ red belt and that is a formula for immortality. I see him as the favourite in this one based on his experience and accomplishments but the “Nightstalker” is not known for giving away W’s to his opponents…

 

“Kumma” Kalle Reinikainen (31-16-0) v Hector “Hammerhead” Williams (16-3-0) Middleweight fight If you claim you are an MMA fan and you’ve never heard of Kalle you should seriously consider shooting yourself. The guy is a stud. At one point he was the #2 ranked p4p fighter in the world and he is looking to get back to his top form and do even better in the rankings. The problem is that Hector Williams doesn’t plan to let that happen. He has not had such success in his career so far but he has amassed a very impressive record and I am a believer that his best days are in front of him. He is a proven finisher and the same could be said about Reinikainen so if you want a save bet, put your money that this one won’t go the distance although bookies are damn smart so I doubt they will let you do a bet like that…

 

Kake Nyrkki (20-13-1) v “Peltosaaren Teurastaja” Bruutali Keijo (22-14-2) Welterweight fight for the strap! What better way to start off the main card then a title fight featuring Kake Nyrkki and Bruutali Keijo. These two are one damn tough Finns so expect fireworks. Nyrkki is on a nice 4 fight win streak and his TKO win that secured him the title last time out was no big surprise so Bruutali will have to show his A game if he wants to leave the cage as champion and not on a stretcher. Keijo likes to turn fights into brawls but he has to be reaaal careful because Kake can capitalize on small openings and make him pay for his recklessness.
