    MMA mania, best write up I found...


    205 lbs.: Teddy Holder (9-2) vs. Shamil Gamzatov (9-0)
    Holder is an ideal candidate to headline a card in Memphis as a native of Bartlett, Tenn., even though he ended up there when WSOF shuffled the card because of and injury. Holder's stunning knockout of Thiago Silva made MMAmania.com's "Top 5 of 2015," so the undefeated Gamzatov has to know what he's up against in his Decagon debut.
    Gamzatov comes in with the confidence of a finisher, ending 44 percent of his bouts with knockouts and 56 percent with submissions, so we'll soon know if his record is inflated by fighting minor league competition overseas as compared to the North American circuit. Holder is known primarily as a striker, but does have two submissions in his nine wins so it can't be ruled out, although his defense wasn't adequate against David Branch. The likelihood he wouldn't have shored up his game in the interim is low, though, and he'll be highly motivated for this hometown fight.
    Final result: Teddy Holder via split decision
    155 lbs.: Caros Fodor (10-4) vs. Luiz Firmino (18-6)
    Fodor makes his return to the North American fight scene after going three out of four in ONE FC. And to WSOF's delight, he is also the brother of caped crusader Phoenix Jones. He's tailor-made for this card given his nickname is "The Future." His opponent, "Buscape" Firmino, is a multi-time Decagon veteran who was also featured on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), though it's no surprise he didn't move on to UFC after Dana White buried his performance.
    To be fair, Firmino can be a "blanket" in many of his fights, given 10 of his 18 wins have been ground out via decision. As a Blackzilians-trained fighter, though, you'd expect him to have a formidable submission game, which accounts for seven of his wins, meaning the only thing you really can't expect from him is a knockout. Fodor does have knockout power, but he's also a submission artist himself (50 percent of his wins) so the odds of this being a chess match fight are high. On the other hand, "styles make fights" and if the two neutralize each other this could just be a brawl.
    Final result: Caros Fodor via unanimous decision
    170 lbs.: Jaleel Willis (5-0) vs. Chauncey Foxworth (1-0)
    Two unheralded rising prospects benefit from the exposure they'll receive on the main card for NBC Sports, although if WSOF has higher hopes for either man, it's likely to be Willis. That's because 80 percent of Willis' fights end via technical knockout in the first round. And if his YouTube highlights are any indication, he's incredibly deadly if he's on top on the ground. Foxworth's one and only professional fight to date is online as well, though, and it shows him wobbling Linc Battee with a head kick and pounding it out on the ground at 3:16. If it's power vs. experience, though, Willis has the competitive edge.
    Final result: Jaleel Willis via technical knockout in the second round
    145 lbs.: Jorge Medina (4-2) vs. Bryce Mitchell (4-0)
    In another pair of fighters with nothing to lose and a great platform to showcase themselves, these Featherweight up-and-comers come along at an ideal time given Lance Palmer just lost the title and a new crop of talent may want to vault ahead of him in line to face Alexandre de Almeida. Medina comes in with zero knockouts and three submissions, and his weapon of choice is the rear-naked choke. The undefeated Mitchell has won all of his fights via submission and "Thug Nasty" likes the rear-naked choke, too, getting it 75 percent of the time. Unlike our Welterweight fight this one is virtually a coin flip.

    Teddy Holder may be a live dog in this one by the way..... Liking the under..

    Sat 1/23 3001 Teddy Holder +230 o1½ +175
    11:00PM 3002 Shamil Gamzatov -270 u1½ -210



    This is a little more additional info....MMAmania again...

    The headliner was going to see Mike Ricci take on Caros Fodor, but Ricci got injured and was removed from the card. He was replaced by Luiz Firmino, and the bout with Fodor was moved to the co-main event, with a light heavyweight fight between Teddy Holder and Shamil Gamzatov promoted to the top spot. Until yesterday, when Ray Sefo said that Fodor/Firmino was the main event.
    Got all that? Good. Let's take a brief look at the fights now. By the way, the card goes down in the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix. The prelims will be streamed live here on Bloody Elbow, and kick off around 8:30pm ET (there are only three prelim fights - yeah, it's weird). The main card kicks off at 10pm ET on NBC Sports Network.
    Luiz Firmino vs. Caros Fodor - Your "Future Champs" headliner is a 33-year-old who hasn't fought in a year and a half against a 32-year-old UFC and ONE veteran who is making his WSOF debut. Firmino is on a five-fight winning streak and does have two wins in two WSOF fights. They were over respectable names too - Tyson Griffin and Jacob Volkmann. Fodor probably has the more well-rounded game, but Firmino has the ability to decision a lot of good fighters. Honestly, I'm not expecting a ton of fireworks here.
    Prediction: Caros Fodor by decision
    Teddy Holder vs. Shamil Gamzatov - Holder burst on the WSOF scene by knocking out Thiago Silva as a late replacement and sizable underdog. He came back down to earth quickly however, getting submitted by an undersized David Branch in a little over two minutes in September. Gamzatov is an undefeated Dagestani prospect who has never gone the distance. I don't think you need to be Nostradamus to figure out who's taking this one.
    Prediction: Shamil Gamzatov by submission, round 1

    Like that under jibbs. I might parlay that with fodor fight over 2.5. Fodor seems like a good pick also

    I'm gonna try Holder and Fodor as dog plays on this card.. This event is a bit tough to cap because of all the in experience basically for all the fighters. Going off some vid and write ups as I'm hoping and thinking one of these dogs hit at worst.... I think they have a decent shot at winning...

    A deceiving stat is Foxworth. Seems like he's had a fair share of pro/amateur bouts that's not on his record.

    Also, noticed UFC fighter's record does not reflect the same when fighters are official announced in the ring/octagon.

    Yeah no known names other then Mike Ricci really but these are all up and comers so you never know where a few of these guys might be in a couple years.. In the main card there are 4 undefeated fighters.. They seem like competitive match ups overall so maybe we'll get some decent fights to watch..

    I'm betting small.. I'll check it though..



    I think Bellator is better then WSOF myself.. I know those cans alot better that's for sure..

    Was checking out Legacy and Pat Miletech wants to fight the winner of the Ken Shamrock fight.. LOL... He's sees a paycheck and big pay day.... I was hoping Bas would come out of retirement but his knees are shot..

    The oldest can to juice the most wins...
