SANDMAN ROLLS INTO THE CHAMPION FINAL UNDEFEATED AT (12-0) DISPATCHING CHAMPIONS SHILIN LI AND TYLER COMPTON EN ROUTE. HE WON THE 205 LB DIVISION AGAINST AIGUO LI BY TKO. SANDMAN WILL HAVE THE HEIGHT AND REACH ADVANTAGE AS WELL AS A MORE IN THE GROUND GAME OVER ASAI AS HE HAS SUPERIOR WRESTLING AND BJJ GOING INTO THE FIGHT. GOING THE DISTANCE ONLY ONCE IN A SPLIT DECISION VICTORY IN HIS 1ST FIGHT AGAINST AIGUO LI BACK IN FEBRUARY HE HAS EARNED THE CHANCE FOR THE 1 MILLION DOLLAR PRIZE ALONG WITH ANOTHER TITLE OPPORTUNITY. ASAI (8-0) IS ALSO UNDEFEATED AND THE 185 LBS CHAMPION WHO EARNED A BYE IN THE 1ST ROUND OF THE TOURNAMENT BUT TOOK OUT FAVORITE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION BO MCGUIRE BY STRIKES IN THE SEMI FINALS, HE WILL HAVE THE ADVANTAGE IN THE STAND UP WITH HIS SUPERIOR STRIKING AND PRIMARY BOXING AND MUAY THAI SKILLS. HE HAS AVOIDED GROUND FIGHTERS SO FAR AND WILL NEED TO STAY ON HIS FEET AND AVOID THE CLINCH, IF ASAI CAN DO THAT THEN IF HE CAN DEFEAT A HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION WITH STRIKES HE CAN DEFINTELY DO SO AGAINST MR. SANDMAN. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS, EVERY CHAMPION EARNED THE RIGHT AND NOW IT WILL BE THE ULTIMATE BATTLE FOR SEASON 1. AIGUO LI VS. TIMOTHY SPENCE AIGUO LI (4-3) LOST THE 205 LBS TITLE TO MR. SANDMAN, AND ALSO LOST HIS 1ST FIGHT AGAINST HIM, OTHER THAN THAT LI HAS PROVEN HE IS A DANGEROUS FIGHTER. DON'T LET HIS RECORD FOOL YOU AS HE HAS THE STAND UP SKILLS AND ALSO ON THE GROUND WHERE HE HAS 2 SUBMISSION FIGHT AWARDS IN FREAKSHOW. TIMOTHY SPENCE IS A NEW ADDITION FOR SEASON 2 AND A SEASONED KICKBOXER, HE WILL HAVE AN ADVANTAGE IN BOXING BUT WILL ALSO NOT HAVE THE SIZE AND REACH COMPARED TO LI. HE WILL NEED TO MORE THAN LIKELY FIGHT EITHER FROM A DISTANCE TIMING HIS PUNCHES/KNEES/KICKS BUT IF THIS GOES TO THE GROUND LI WILL HAVE AN ADVANTAGE. JAMISON HARDIN VS. MARK PETERSON JAMISON HARDIN (7-4) LOST TWICE TO SHILIN LI, ONCE FOR THE TITLE BUT HAD 3 CONSECUTIVE VICTORIES BETWEEN. THE SIZE AND REACH ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL BETWEEN THE TWO AS HARDIN HAS 2 KOTN AWARDS. HE RELIES ON ACCURATE STRIKES COMBINED WITH A GREAT TAKEDOWN DEFENSE TO STAY ON HIS FEET. MARK PETERSON (0-1) DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF FIGHTING EXPERIENCE AS HE LOST HIS 1ST FREAKSHOW FIGHT AGAINST STALWART NATE STANTON BY TKO, ALTHOUGH HE TOOK HIM DEEP INTO THE FIGHT AT ALMOST 8 MINUTES. PETERSON SHOWED GOOD ACCURACY IN HIS STRIKES AND IN THE CLINCH BEFORE SUCCUMBING TO STANTON'S POWER IN THE END. JERRY RIGGS VS. MAKOA LOVE JERRY RIGGS (3-2) HAD AN UP AND DOWN 1ST SEASON BUT HAS STUCK IT OUT TO IMPROVE HIS TRAINING. HE HASN'T FOUGHT SINCE EARLY APRIL AND WILL LOOK TO TAKE CARE OF LOVE WHO IS MOVING UP A WEIGHT CLASS. RIGGS WILL HAVE THE SIZE AND REACH ADVANTAGE AND WILL LOOK TO KEEP LOVE GUESSING ON THE STRATEGY. MAKOA LOVE (4-3) STARTED OFF LAST SEASON WITH A WIN THEN FOLLOWED WITH 3 STRAIGHT LOSSES, TWO BY DECISION. HE HAS SWITCHED BETWEEN BOXING AND CLINCH FIGHTING AND ALTHOUGH HE HAS NOT BEEN WINNING, HE TOO HAS BEEN TRAINING HARD AND HOPES THAT HE CAN MAKE A STATEMENT HERE. MARKUS WACHTER VS. DASSEM ULTOR MARKUS WACHTER (4-2) FOUGHT ASAI FOR THE TITLE BUT CAME UP SHORT, HE DID TAKE THE CHAMPION TO THE DISTANCE IN A MATCH UP BEFORE LOSING BY DECISION. WACHTER HAS POTENTIAL AS HE MIXES UP HIS STAND UP BETWEEN BOXING AND MUAY THAI, HE IS ACCURATE AND DANGEROUS BUT STILL HAS HOLES IN HIS DEFENSE. NOT SPECTACULAR IN ANY WAY, JUST A HARD NOSE FIGHTER. DASSEM ULTOR (0-1) LOST BY DECISION TO SILLANPAA IN HIS FIRST FIGHT BUT TOOK HIM THE DISTANCE. HE WAS ALSO A STAND UP AND CLINCH FIGHTER SO THIS FIGHT MAY BE HEAVY IN THE CLINCH AND MAY COME DOWN TO EITHER THE TOUGHEST CHIN OR THE BEST DEFENSE. JANNE SILLANPAA VS. ALLEN DOUGLAS JANNE SILLANPAA (4-3) WAS ON A 3 FIGHT WIN STREAK UNTIL HE LOST HIS LAST FIGHT AGAINST ERIC FROMM BY DECISION. SILLANPAA IS A BOXING MANIAC, BUT SOMEHOW HASN'T SHOWN THE POWER TO GET THE TKO/KO YET AS HE TAKES HIS FIGHTS DEEP TO DECISIONS. HE WILL NEED TO BRING MORE PACK TO HIS PUNCHES IF HE WANTS TO GET THE POINTS MOVING FORWARD. ALLEN DOUGLAS (5-10) IS A KICKBOXER WHO LOST HIS 1ST FREAKSHOW FIGHT AGAINST JAMES MADDISON WHO TOOK HIM INTO THE CLINCH AND DID WHAT HE WANTED UNTIL WINNING THE DECISION. DOUGLAS WILL HAVE A GREAT ADVANTAGE IN SIZE AND REACH AND NEEDS TO STAY AWAY FROM THE CLINCH. GABRIEL SKON VS. DUHAN KIM A PAIR OF NEW BLOODS FIGHT IT OUT IN THE 1ST FREAKSHOW EVENT. GABRIEL SKON (1-0) TOOK OUT WOO-CHAE SONG IN QFC IN UNDER A MINUTE BESTING HIM WITH DANGEROUS DIRTY BOXING. DUHAN KIM (1-0) TOOK DOWN AND DRUDGED HIS OPPONENT IN QFC WITH VICIOUS GROUND AND POUND IN UNDER 3 MINUTES. SKON AND KIM CONTRAST EACH OTHER MIGHTILY IN THEIR GAME. ONE WANTS TO STAND UP AND ONE WANTS TO GO TO THE GROUND, ANOTHER CLASSIC TALE OF STRIKER VS. WRESTLER. DAVION HUBER VS. MARUO JONATAS DAVION HUBER (1-3) HAS HAD BAD LUCK SO FAR BUT HE HAS STUCK WITH IT. HE WON ONE BY BY KO AND RECEIVED THE KOTN AWARD, BUT SINCE THEN HE HASN'T PUT IT TOGETHER. HE WILL SLIGHTLY BE SMALLER THAN JONATAS WHO IS ALSO LOOKING TO PUT TOGETHER SOME WINS. MAURO JONATAS (2-3) MOVED UP FROM 155 LBS WHERE HE WON HIS 1ST AND LAST FIGHT IN THE DIVISION FACING SOME TOP OPPONENTS WHERE HE WAS ON THE WRONG END. DEEPLY TALENTED JONATAS LOVES TO STRIKE AND OFTEN, MAYBE AFTER HIS LONG LAYOFF AND TRAINING HE CAN FINALLY GET ON A ROLL. UZU MAO VS. ALFREDO MCCARTY UZU MAO (1-3) IS A NEW COMER OVER FROM MMA HYPE PROMOTIONS WHERE HE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN 3 STRAIGHT FIGHTS. SHOWING A TENDENCY TO TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE GROUND TO DISH IT OUT, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE HIS OPPONENTS ALSO KNEW THAT AND COUNTERED IT SUCCESSFULLY. HE WILL HAVE A SLIGHT ADVANTAGE IN SIZE. ALFREDO MCCARTY (0-0) IS MAKING HIS MMA DEBUT AND SHOWS TO HAVE DECENT STAND UP, BUT HE IS BIT OF AN UNKNOWN HERE. EITHER WAY A DECISIVE VICTORY BY KO/TKO HERE WILL GIVE ONE OF THEM 3 PTS IN THE SEASON 2 STANDINGS.
