Wednesday Wars 50 Preview

 

Jupiter Jones(22-13, 3-1 CONFLICTION) vs Meat Loaf(31-10, 8-2 2NC CONFLICTION)

In our main event of the evening, five-time Fight of the Night winner, Jupiter Jones, looks to make it four in a row when he takes on former bantamweight champion, Meat Loaf. Jones is currently riding a three fight winning streak so if he’s victorious in this matchup, he could very well earn a title shot. His opponent, Loaf, lost the 135 lbs belt in his last fight so he will surely be hungry to erase that loss from his memory and get back into title contention. These two men actually fought once already back in May, with Loaf picking up the unanimous decision win, so it will be interesting to see who has improved the most since the last time they met. The way I see it, Jones has improved quite a bit since his last loss but I don’t think it will be enough to get the win. I see Loaf using his strong wrestling and improved striking to outwork his opponent and score another hard fought judges decision.

My Prediction: Meat Loaf via Unanimous Decision

 

Uruhara Hatake(13-8, 6-6 1NC) vs Colin Burton(19-20-2, 4-4 CONFLICTION)

In our co-main event of the evening, former bantamweight champ, Uruhara Hatake, looks to get back to his winning ways when he steps in the cage against fan favorite, Colin Burton. Both men have struggled with consistency recently so a win here is critical if they want to stay relevant in the division. This fight is a bit of a toss up but I’m leaning towards Burton. If Burton can keep this fight in the clinch, he should be able to dominate this fight and win the decision.

My Prediction: Colin Burton via Unanimous Decision

 

Frank Gibiatti(8-4-1, 3-1-1 CONFLICTION) vs Vo Nguyen Giap(20-15-2, 4-3-1 CONFLICTION)

Up next, former featherweight champion, Frank Gibiatti, looks to get back on track towards getting his belt back when he squares off against devastating striker, Vo Nguyen Giap. Both men are coming off disappointing losses so expect each of them to be hungry to get back in the win column.This will be a back and forth fight but I think that Gibiatti can use his high level striking skills to pick his shots and either score the win via strikes or pick up the decision win.

My Prediction: Frank Gibiatti via Unanimous Decision

 

Paul Harris(13-6, 2-1 CONFLICTION) vs Tat Moh(9-2, 1-1 CONFLICTION)

Taking things over to the light heavyweight division, BJJ black belt, Paul Harris, faces off against seasoned grappler, Tat Moh. Both men prefer to fight on the ground so fans can expect a highly technical grappling match between these two. This one could go either way but I’m picking Moh based on his extensive professional grappling background. Moh will either outpoint his opponent are eventually find the submission.

My Prediction: Tat Moh via Submission (Round 2)

 

Kalesh Nikov(24-16, 0-1 CONFLICTION) vs Walter Sullivan(14-8, 3-3 CONFLICTION)

In our next fight of the night, heavy handed, Kalesh Nikov, seeks out his first win under the CONFLICTION banner when he takes on well rounded, Walter Sullivan. Both men have a wide arsenal of skills so it’s anyones guess where this fight might take place. In my opinion, if Nikov takes this fight to the ground and utilizes his dominant top game, he should be able to put his opponent away with his ground and pound.

My Prediction: Kalesh Nikov via TKO (Round 3)

 

Bernard Benton(12-6, 8-5 CONFLICTION) vs Alex Trager(12-3-1, 1-2 CONFLICTION)

Up next, knockout artist, Bernard Benton, squares off against submission ace, Alex Trager. This is a standard striker versus grappler match up so the winner will most likely be determined by whoever can execute their gameplan effectively. The way I see it, if Trager is able to drag this fight to the ground, he will overwhelm his opponent and eventually submit him.

My Prediction: Alex Trager via Submission (Round 3)

 

Juan Cabrillo(8-3, 5-3 CONFLICTION) vs David Taylor(11-4, 4-3 CONFLICTION)

Taking the action over to the welterweight division, former champ, Juan Cabrillo, faces off against knockout specialist, David Taylor. Both men have tendencies to stand and bang which should please fans and critics alike. This one could come down to simply who lands first but I’m going with Cabrillo based on the fact that I think he is the more technical striker between the two. Look for Cabrillo to fight smart and possibly mix in a takedown or two in order to pick his opponent apart and earn the judges decision.

My Prediction: Juan Cabrillo via Unanimous Decision

 

Roger Wabbit(14-5, 2-2 CONFLICTION) vs Mordecai Wollsey(26-21-1, 5-5-1 CONFLICTION)

In our second fight of the evening, former MFN champion, Roger Wabbit, takes on heavy handed, Mordecai Wollsey. Both men are coming off tough losses so it’s critical that these men put on a memorable fight if they want to secure their jobs. In my opinion, Wollsey should be a little bit better than his opponent wherever this fight takes place, which will allow him to control the pace of the fight and eventually find the late finish.

My Prediction: Mordecai Wollsey via TKO (Round 3)

 

Michael Jones(16-7, 1-1 CONFLICTION) vs Lee Wilson(17-9, 1-1 CONFLICTION)

Kicking off our fight card, former VERSUS champion, Michael Jones, looks to continue the momentum after a big win when he squares off against seasoned striker, Lee Wilson. Both men have brutal knockout power so this fight could end in the blink of an eye. In a fight like this which will take place primarily on the feet, I’m picking Jones based on his superior stand up. Look for Jones to pick his shots and eventually put him away with his strikes.

My Prediction: Michael Jones via TKO (Round 2)
