Last week we didn't really give other people enough time, but I figured I'd do it early this week... see if we can't get a bigger following.
STARTING WITH ECL 10!
Prelims
HW Bout - Xavier Langdon(1-1-0) vs. Nemanja Tosic(1-0-0)
Prediction: Langdon had a real hard fought loss. His stand up wasn't matching up well against he very large and somewhat awkward Marcus O'Neil. Nemanja had a great outting his last match.
Prediction: I see this one going into the second round before Tosic is able to force another TKO against the gutsy, tough Xavier Langdon.
MW Bout - Acelino Alves(1-0-0) vs. Vasili Yuryev(1-1-0)
Prediction: This isn't a tough one to call. Vasili can't finish fights, even when he's doing well. At least not yet. Acelino looked great his last time out. Both men beat Lecter, but Acelino finished... Yuryev went to decision. Acelino finishes Vasili in the 2nd round, TKO.
LW Bout - Tyson Fury(1-0-0) vs. Bobby Thompson(0-1-1)
Prediction: Tyson's win against the Viking was impressive, yet Bobby's only fought one opponent. Weasel, back to back. Judging by Weasel's resurgence, that's nothing to be ashamed of. I see Thompson getting into the win column via majority decision.
LW Bout - Terrance Reaume(2-0-0) vs. Thorstein Matsburg(0-2-0)
Prediction: Reaume is on a roll, and his best chance to get a shot at Akira lies in a third straight win. Thorstein on the other hand is just dying to get his first win. I just don't see Thorstein able to keep this match off the deck. Terrance by 1st round submission.
HW Bout - Lebron James(2-0-0) vs. Lenny McLean(0-2-0)
Prediction: Lebron James, boring as his fights may be is looking good. Lenny's gone 0 and 2 after looking VERY promising. Underdog pick of the ngiht, Lenny McLean by 1st round TKO.
MW Bout - Phil Watkins(2-0-0) vs. Viktor Lecter(0-2-0)
Prediction: Phil Watkins isn't going to be stopped any time soon. Viktor's first win may come AFTER ECL 10, because he's going to be stopped in the second round. KO.
Main Card
***MW Title Bout - Wade Wilson(4-1-0) vs. James Washington Jr. (3-1-0)
Prediction: Not gonna call my own fight.
LW Bout - Mark Neil(3-3-0) vs. Kain Mu'Nail(2-0-0)
Prediction: Mark Neil made a RESOUNDING statement through a win against the very dangerous Roscoe. Kain has been literally SHREDDING his opponents with vicious stand up. If Neil can take it to the deck, it's his fight to win. I don't see Neil able to get the takedown, though. Kain Mu'Nail wins by 3rd round TKO. Probably corner stoppage.
***LW Title Bout - Akira Tetsou(4-1-0) vs. Neil/Mu'Nail***
Prediction: Kain Mu'Nail against Akira Tetsou boils down to the man who keeps the fight where he wants it. Unlike the last match, Akira can hit submissions while he's standing... so the takedown is removed as a factor. Akira Tetsou retains by 2nd round submission.
Main Event
***HW Title Bout - Lama Namanumie(5-1-0) vs. Marcus O'Neil(3-3-0)***
Prediction: Normally, I wouldn't call my own fight. But 2 of Marcus' loss are to Lama and Lama's only gotten better... Seems almost mathematical at this point.

Fight Night 2
Prelims
HW Bout - Terry Neil(2-3-0) vs. Hiriyaito Haranoka(1-1-0)
Prediction: The Neil brothers come back strong and I see Terry coming back like a house of fire against Haranoka. 3rd round TKO.
MW Bout - Wesley Rhoades(1-1-0) vs. Jean Roqua(0-1-0)
Prediction: Wesley Rhoades last loss to the Phenom is not a career changing loss. He just wasn't ready for him then. Hopefully he finds a new level of AGGRESSION or KILLER INSTINCT and comes through with a win against the guy from Never Back Down. Wesley via 2nd round Submission.
MW Bout - Danny Poutz(2-3-0) vs. Rich Henderson (1-2-0)
Prediction: Poutz lost to Washington in a great match, but still has a lot to prove to get back into the limelight. Rich Henderson hasn't looked great since, well... he simply hasn't looked great. I see Pouts pulling to 500 after he gets a 2nd round submission win.
Main Card
LW Bout - Weasel(2-1-1) vs. Ryan McCarthy(0-1-0)
Prediction: Not gonna call my own bout.
LW Bout - John Roscoe(2-2-0) vs. Grayson Gitchell(0-3-0)
Prediction: Roscoe's pissed, on a two match slide against great opponents. I feel sorry for Grayson here, because if he even gets out of the first minute, its not gonna be pretty. I see a standing boxing clinic followed by a submission via Keylock in the first round.
Main Event
MW Bout - Chink McAllister(6-1-0) vs. Richard Neil(3-2-0)
Prediction: A main event quality match on ANY PPV, Chink's still only got a loss to the current champ and Neil is dangerous regardless of how it goes down. I just don't see Neil on the same level as McCallister yet, but maybe this is his chance to prove him wrong. Chink via 2nd round submission.
