Ildemar Alcantara (13-5) vs Eder Jones (9-3) @Jungle FC -- 7/28
This is the first quarterfinal of a tourney to determine the new JF middleweight champ. The title became vacant after the UFC snatched up the previous champ, Marcelo Guimaraes.
Chas Skelly (8-0) vs Luis Vega (8-2) @Premier Fight Series 1 -- 7/28
Vega is coming off a big win in Bellator while Skelly has been keeping a low profile since his return to the cage last month. This is a huge fight for PFS's inaugural event.
Krzysztof Jotko (10-0) vs. Vincent del Guerra (17-7) - Barlinek, Poland -- 7/28
Two very young fighters with a lot of potential. Jotko returns to MW after a rough outing at WW. This is a great matchup because both fighters have been lacking any real competition
Luis Santos (53-8) vs Valdir Araujo (10-3) @CFA 8 -- 8/10
Araujo fought to a decision with Chris Weidman and is coming off a big KO win over Nicolae Cury. Plus the guy is just shredded. But you can never count Santos out.
Alex Ricci (5-0) vs Jesse Ronson (9-2) @SFS 5 -- 8/25
A couple great finishers who lack experience but not skills. Both are coming off big KO victories. Ronson will probably be the underdog but I really like the way he fights.
Rob Sinclair (11-2) vs Andre Winner (14-6) @BAMMA 10 -- 9/15
Sinclair is overdue for bigger stage, I say he takes this but it could easily be a fight of the year candidate.
Conor McGregor (11-2) vs Jim Alers (8-1) @Cage Warriors FN7 -- 9/1
This fight speaks for itself.
I could see the winner of any of these receiving a major contract offer.
A few other interesting match-ups:
Dino Bagattin (7-2) vs Martin van Staden (11-5) @EFCA 15 -- 7/27
Steve Carl (16-3) vs Andrew Trace (7-1) @Madtown Throwdown 28 -- 8/11
Ivica Truscek (19-11) vs Nicolas Dalby (8-0) @Royal Arena 2 -- 8/31
Moise Rimbon (19-9) vs Hracho Darpinyan (9-4) @TFS - Mix Fight Gala XIII -- 9/1
Rondinelli Rodrigues Gomes (25-5) vs Tiago Candido Machado Silva (5-0) @Live to Fight MMA -- 9/15
Jon Tuck (6-0) vs Harris Sarmiento (34-23) for Pacific X-treme Combat LW title (Sept)
I hope Tuck ends up in Bellator. Crafty fighter with a lot of heart.
