Sang Hoon Yoo, TKO, R2
I don't get some of the guys they bring in. Barrett is 2-3 in his last 5 and one of those wins was against Jay Ellis, a guy who never trains and literally only shows up to fights to get a quick paycheck

Duško Todorović, TKO, R1
Tons of international flavor on this card..... I like it. Duško looks like he could become a reeaaal monster in a solid year or two. See if he can continue his 100% KO streak.
Hill vs. Kasanganay
Kailan Hill, TKO, R2
Both guys are 5–0, but Kailan Hill has most definitely fought the better competition. Has the height advantage and a nice 5" reach advantage. And from what we've seen, he's another guy i see developing into a top 15 in the world nightmare... He's not even 25 yet, so he's gotta plenty of time before he's at full, grown man strength. Scary thought.
Yoo vs. Barrett
Sang Hoon Yoo, TKO, R2
I don't know a whole lot about the Korean Assassin... But what I know about Barrett is why I can't take him and I'm taking Yoo. Yes, Barrett is 10–3, has 8 more fights, which yes is more experience, but that's where his advantages end. He's only 3–3 vs guys with winning records... And the 3 wins are against guys that are literally only a **** hair above 50/50.... Like they're 5–4. He's got 7 wins vs garbage. And he's been finished 3x. Soooooo maybe you big balled underdog lovers will feel alright taking Barrett, but I certainly don't, annnd I guess I don't have elephantitus size bawls either....
Sosoli vs. Joynson
Ben Sosoli, TKO, R2
I've never been impressed by Sosoli, but I am gonna painfully take him here. prolly pay for it but whatever. I'm just taking him simply because of experience. Joynson is 5–0 vs a combined record of 10–8–1. Where Sosoli is 7–2 vs. a combined record of 53–31–4. Annnd Sosoli was on either a recent, or the last TUF.... Even tho he did poorly, the whole TUF experience seems to do positive things for the fighters..

Duško Todorović, TKO, R2
Todorovic isb1 of Europea top prospects. His last win was against Michel Pereira, that crazy back flipping Brazilian who debuted in the UFC and KO'd Danny Roberts with a flying knee into a straight right in what was a computer game combo! So the fact that Todorovic beat the crap outta him is a good sign of how good he is. Teddy Ash was finished by Dominique Steele!! Ok he avenged that loss next fight but that doesn't mean the loss never happened! Ash has a lot of KO wins and is a pretty decent striker but the Pereira win proves Todorovic can handle great strikers. Todorovic is my most confident pick on this card. Which probably means he gets finished in a round!!!
Hill vs. Kasanganay
Kailan Hill, DEC
This, for me, is the best fight on the card. Kailin Hill has looked reallly good in LFA with a lot of spectacular 1st rd finishes by head kick and 1 by spinning back fist which was crazy!! More impressive for me was his last fight against a tough bastard Samoan who wouldn't go away in a few minutes but Hill went the distance. We swen last week with Shabazyan that it's all good getting back to back finishes in a minute but what jappens when you can't put them away? A lot of prospects gas out, like Shabazyan did, but Hill handled that situation well. Kasanganay is coming into this fight a little under rated I feel. I've seen his last few fights on FightPass in Island Fights and he's looked pretty good to me. Is decent all around and has that bit more experience with 5 amateur fights too. So I think this could be competitive but I'm still taking Hill but most likely by Decision.
Yoo vs. Barrett
Peter Barrett, TKO, R3
Not impressed by this Korean chap. I dont know much about him, apart from he's beaten a load of bums, 2 KO's over 0-0 guys! Yes he beat a 15-6 guy in his debut but if you look at that guys record its poor, wins against cans and lost 4 on the spin since that Yoo fight, so there's that. Barrett aint great but he's fought slightly tougher competition has a half decent amateur record, 4x more fights and trains outta a good gym at Sityodong. I don't know! I'm clutching at straws here!!! It's the classic case of the unknown Korean against the last chance saloon older pro. Happens all the time!!!! Hhhhmmm??? Might just take the chance on Barrett here as this pick could get me 1st place in the Contender Series games I'm in! Feck it!!!!
Sosoli vs. Joynson
Dustin Joynson, SUB, R2
Joynson also has a nice headkick KO recently but I don't know much else about him. He's a top Canadian Heavyweight for what that worth?! Sosoli was on the Ultimate Fighter and in his fight the 1 thing he showed is that he has absolutely no ground game whatsoever. This fight hits the mat its over! Oh but he's the no1 Australian Heavyweight! So basically regional Canadian MMA vs regional Australian MMA at Heavyweight, so expect a 1st round finish or both guys gas hard and clinch for 3 rounds!!! Who to pick in this 1? I'm going team Canada, sorry Australia!
Lockard vs. Brown
Dylan Lockard, TKO, R2
Brown has a lot of wins over guys with losing records and quick defeats whenever he steps up in competition, except for his most recent fight which was a nice headkick KO, tho a bit lucky as he fell on his ass while throwing it!!!. Lockard is less experienced but has a decent wrestling background and fights out of Sityodong(another 1!) I'll go with the better wrestler. Also The man's nickname is Downtown Brown!!! Just for that reason I can't pick him!
