Randy Tyler is responsible for one of the biggest upset victories to date in the SFF, beating down then undefeated champion Ash Berry and earning a crushing five round decision, in the fight his striking looked sharp against a fighter of Berry’s qualities and yanked Tyler up to be the big dog of the SFF 205 division. But the one now looking to take this away from him is no joke, NFC veteran and title challenger Pekka Perkele is one of the most well rounded fighters in the SFF, and he brings in a ton of experience from the NFC making him a dangerous opponent. Both fighters has six knockouts or TKO’s one their resume, and we are most likely to see an all out war between the two where Tyler will try to use his superior boxing and really test Perkele’s chin, while Perkele who is known for throwing deadly Muay Thai head kicks over and over looking for the knockout.
Predicted’s prediction: While Tyler has the superior striking, Perkele’s kicks will be hard to deal with, and if he mixes things up and goes for the body and legs of Tyler as well as his head then I can see him winning by TKO.
Heavyweight – Co Main Event: Jumi Karka (6-3, 3-1 SFF) vs. John "Big Guns" Corpus (3-0, 3-0 SFF)
John Corpus is one of the best up and coming fighters in the heavyweight division, a big strong wrestler who has the hands to knock down a brick wall, he uses his wrestling background to force his opponents into the clinch or to keep the fight standing where he can throw his wild knockout bombs. Jumi Karka on the other hand is a jack of all trades striker who has ended all six of his victims in the first round with his sledgehammer fists and snapping kicks, and against a boxer/wrestler of Corpus’ caliber Karka’s keys to victory is his steel reinforce chin and knockout power.
Predicted’s prediction: It looks like Corpus will be looking to wear Karka down in the clinch, while Karka will be head hunting for the big knockout, on paper Corpus looks to be the strongest, but when the cage door closes anything can happen, but I will predict Corpus by first or second round TKO.
Heavyweight: Ron "Meatball" Jeremy (7-3, 1-1 SFF) vs. Mike The Judge (12-6, 0-1 SFF)
Both Jeremy and The Judge has a devastating finishing ratio and between them they have 17 Kos or TKOs between them, Jeremy has slicing elbows in the clinch which he can stop most men with, if he can’t cut you with one of his elbows, well then you’re a cyborg. The Judge on the other hand looks to connect with his bomb like fists to get the one shot knockout and when he touches your chin, it usually explodes. Both have impressive resumes from some of the toughest organizations in the world, but as they are both coming off losses, and the judge off a string of losses, they both really need a win in this one.
Predicted’s prediction: I think Jeremy will hand The Judge his fourth loss in a row due to TKO (Cut) in the second round.
Light heavyweight: Andreas "Der Schmied" Meyer (4-0, 1-0 SFF) vs. Emilio Bustamante (8-1, 3-1 SFF)
Andreas Meyer is an interesting Light Heavyweight prospect from Germany, he is a submission wrestler who has finished all, but one of his fights with his trademark kimura, he is now given the biggest test of his life as he steps up to the former title contender Emilio Bustamante, who has gotten the knockout in six of his eight wins. Evidently these two are both finishers. Bustamante enjoys knockout wins, while Meyer likes to put his opponents’ joints into hyperextension, both fighters will try to avoid the other’s domain and since they are both decent wrestlers it is hard to see who can keep it in their world, but whoever can will win decisively.
Lightweight: "Brutal" Romeo Glock (5-1, 1-0 SFF) vs. Jean Sibelius (5-0, 2-0 SFF)
Brutal is a good way to describe Romeo Glock, he is an excellent German kick boxer who packs a punch that can move mountains, but against Sibelius it is unknown if he is able to keep the fight standing where he has the clear advantage, Sibelius has great wrestling credentials and a BJJ brown belt, Glock’s only loss came via submission and he hasn’t fought many submission fighters after that fight. So in a way this is Glock’s test to see if he belongs among the top Lightweights in the world, if he can beat such an excellent submission wrestler, then he has proven himself in the eyes of many. While Glock is an exciting kick boxing knockout machine, Sibelius plans to lay on top of his opponents and throw some ground and pound while waiting for the fight to end, two contrasting styles, but the thing about Sibelius is that he is such a good grappler that he has so far been proven almost impossible to counter.
Predicted’s prediction: While Glock has a bright future, his wrestling and BJJ is not on par to beat Sibelius in this match who I think takes it by decision.
Super heavyweight: Jon "Thunder" Hansen (4-2, 2-1 SFF) vs. josh "The Bang" kong (1-1, 0-1SFF)
Jon Hansen is a small man to be fighting at super heavyweight, this has been a conscious choice for the light heavyweight, as he wants to exploit the bigger guys’ main problem, cardio, he uses his wrestling to take people down and pound on them throughout the fight, and with a wrestling pedigree such as Hansen’s you know he is a hard fighter to deal with if you’re not trained in BJJ. Hansen is also the leading sparring partner in the SFF gym. Josh Kong is an odd fighter, he is a good boxer with a BJJ purple belt, but with no wrestling experience he usually just stands and trades with his opponents looking for the knockout, so far in his career he has gone to decisions twice, lost one and won one and will now be looking to earn his first SFF victory.
Predicted’s prediction: Rumors has it Kong is in terrible shape after a way too though training camp which will make him an easy victim for Jon Hansen, Hansen by TKO.
Jake Valhala is a one dimensional wrestler who can unload a vicious beating on whoever is stuck underneath him, he is not a good striker, or even a decent one and prefers to take the fight down to the ground where he has been able to find some success in his prior fights. Villa will try to sprawl and brawl, but quite frankly, that is hopeless against a wrestler at Valhala’s level, and all Villa can really hope for is that one of his early shots will get him the knockout.
Predicted’s prediction: Valahala by TKO.
Light heavyweight: John Blachovich (5-1, 5-1 SFF) vs. "Hoda" Rohaldo Roguera (4-4, 0-1 SFF)
In this match the BJJ fans are getting a treat as two decent grapplers collide in a fight for survival at the SFF, both fighters lost their last fight and are desperate to get back to their winning ways. Blackovich showed in his fight against Sheldon Cooper that he can grapple, but in his last fight he got submitted by fellow BJJ purple belt Lentti Pindegren.
Predicted’s prediction: I think that the superior striking and close to equal grappling will earn Blachovich another decision victory to his resume.
Middleweight: Roman "Caesar" Empire (9-7, 1-1 SFF) vs. Lauri Lukko (0-1, 0-1 SFF)
Having a BJJ black belt and being able to submit your opponent once the fight hits the ground is all good, but when you have no wrestling to force the fight to the mat you are in trouble, and that was shown in Lukko’s last fight and professional debut where he got crushed by the ground and pound from world class wrestler Jere Ruutikainen. This plays right into Empire’s hands, he is an accomplished boxer and has a good wrestling pedigree to go with it and should have no problem walking through the inexperienced Lukko.
Predicted’s prediction: Roman Empire via knockout.
Welterweight: Brad Bombada (4-1, 1-1 SFF) vs. Timo "Die Kugel" Soini (6-0, 2-0 SFF)
Brad Bombada is the traditional sprawl and brawler with massive knockout power in his hands, although he was given the first loss of his career he has been on a devastating run up until that point, now he looks to redeem himself against undefeated Muay Thai fighter Timo Soini, who has been showing a wide variety of Muay Thai skills that he has at his disposal, and anyone who enters the cage with him has to go to deal with. The difference between the two of them is the finishing ratio, Bombada is never in a boring fight, and when he fights the fans can expect an exciting fight. Soini is always able to grind out a fight, both with his kicks and in the clinch, a dangerous competitor, but yet he has little KO power.
Predicted’s prediction: Soini’s ability to wear down Bombada’s legs and body with kicks and knees outside and inside the clinch earning him the unanimous decision.
