Image may contain: one or more people and text

Reality Fighting is having their 2nd show of the year this Saturday on June 1st, 2019.  This one will be once again a mixed grappling with gi and no-gi.  There is a total of 21 grappling matches, yes you read that right.  Following that will be the mma portion of the night which has a total of 9 mma fights.  The grappling will be starting at 6:30pm and the mma part will start after it, my guess is 9pm but don't hold me to that..  I will not be breaking down all 21 of the grappling matches but you can see them in the order below.  I will however be breaking down the mma portion which is directly below the grappling fight card!

160 AM MMA Andy Kurzontkowski (BST MMA 0-1) vs. Sergey Boychun (Ascension MMA 0-1)

In the first match up of the night Cage Titan commentator Andy Kurzontkowski will be stepping back into the right against Sergey Boychun.  Andy comes into this fight with an 0-1 record and trains with BST MMA.  He lost his first fight by triangle back in 2015.  His opponent is Sergey Boychun and he trains with Ascension MMA.  He comes into this this fight with an 0-1 record with his 1 loss by decision.  As you can see their records are exactly the same so it can't get much of a closer battle than this.  I see this one being a stand up battle.

145 AM MMA Randy Francis (Strikezone 4-6) vs. Mike Piacentini (Carlson Gracie CT 1-5)

Then at 145 lbs Randy Francis takes on Mike Piacentini.  Francis trains with Strikezone and comes into this fight with a record of 4-6.  For his wins, he has 2 by ko/tko and 2 by decision.  For his losses, he has 2 by ko/tko, 2 by submission and 2 by way of decision.  Don't let his record fool you though, he always puts on a show for the fans.  His opponent is Mike Piacentini and he trains with Carlson Gracie CT.  He comes into this fight with a 1-5 record with his 1 win by armbar.  For his losses, he lost 3 by ko/tko to strikes and 2 by submission.  I think this fight is going to be another stand up war.

115 AM MMA Ashley Barrett (USMMA 0-0) vs. Tracy Baldwin (Thornton Martial Arts 1-1)

Next up is at 115 lbs Ashley Barrett will be taking on Tracy Baldwin for the first female showdown of the night.  Ashley trains with USMMA and will be making her amateur debut.  Her opponent is Tracy Baldwin and she trains with Thornton's Martial Arts.  She comes into this fight with a 1-1 record with 1 win by submission and 1 loss by ko/tko to strikes.  I see this one being a ground battle.

195 AM MMA Zachary Watson (Freestyle 0-3) vs. Johnny Santos (Jay Ward MMA 1-0)

Then at 195 lbs Zachary Watson will be squaring off against Johnny Santos.  Zachary trains with Freestyle and comes into this fight with an 0-3 record.  For his losses, he lost 2 by ko/tko and 1 by submission.  He is still hungry for his first W.   His opponent is Johnny Santos and he trains with Jay Ward MMA.  He comes into this fight with a record of 1-0 with a unanimous victory over Dave Walsh.  When these big guys collide I see the fight being a stand up war.

115 AM Ariana Melendez (Jungle MMA 0-1) vs. Arianna Cruz (Ascension Martial Arts 0-0)

Then at 115 lbs Ariana Melendez takes on Arianna Cruz.  Ariana trains with Jungle MMA and she comes into this fight with an 0-1 record with her 1 loss by split decision.  Her opponent is Arianna Cruz and she trains with Ascension Martial Arts.  She will be making her amateur debut.  I see this one being a ground battle.

205 AM TITLE MMA Wolfgang Fiasconaro (Rogers Martial Arts 1-0) vs. Yuri Panferov (Calandrelli 4-0)

In the 205 division Wolfgang Fiasconaro will be taking on Yuri Panferov for the amateur title.  Wolfgang grains with Rogers Martial Arts and comes into this fight with a 1-0 record with his 1 win by arm triangle.  His opponent is Yuri Panferov and he trains with Calandrelli MMA.  He comes into this fight with a 4-0 record  with 1 win by ko/tko and 3 by submission.  This is going to be a fast paced fight as both of these fighters hit hard and are very comfortable on the ground.

145 AM TITLE MMA Zac Richard (Nostos 3-1-1) vs. Miguel Cuevas (Battlecrew/Team Link 5-1)

The second title fight of the night has Zac Richard facing off against Miguel Cuevas in the 145 lb division.  Zac trains with Nostos MMA and comes into this fight with a 3-1-1 record.  In the win column, he has 1 by ko/tko and 2 by submission.  In his last fight he lost by decision to Tom Pagliarulo and of course he has 1 draw.  His opponent is Miguel Cuevas and he trains with Battlecrew and Team Link.  He comes into this fight with a 5-1 record with 2 wins by ko/tko and 3 by submission.  For his one loss, he lost by ko/tko.  Both of these fighters love to put on a show and they also bring lots of fans each time.  I expect this fight to be loud in the arena and action packed.

135 PRO MMA Jose Lugo (BST MMA 4-0) vs. Johnny Campbell (SSSF 16-12)

In the first pro fight of the night Jose Lugo will be taking on Johnny Campbell.  Lugo trains with BST MMA and comes into this fight with a perfect 4-0 record with 3 by submission and 1 due to injury.  He is looking to keep his perfect record intact.  His opponent is Johnny Campbell and he trains with SSSF.  He comes into this fight with a 16-12 record with 5 by ko/tko, 5 by submission and 6 by decision.  For his losses, he lost 1 by ko/tko, 3 by submission and 8 by way of decision.  I see this one being a back and forth battle all over the cage.  I see this one going to the judges.

170 PRO TITLE MMA Billy Goff (Dexter 2-0) vs. Kemran Lachinov (Team Link 8-2)

The main event features Billy Goff against Kemran Lachinov for the 170 lb Reality Fighting title.  Billy trains with Dexter Vale Tudo and comes into this fight with a 2-0 record.  He won 1 by ko/tko and 1 by decision.  His opponent is Kemran Lachinov and he trains with Team Link.  He comes into this fight with a record of 8-2 with 2 by ko/tko, 3 by submission and 3 by decision.  For his losses, he lost 1 by ko/tko and 1 by decision.  This is going to be an absolute war.  For Goff to win he is going to have to defend the takedown and keep this on his feet because once Kemran gets you on the ground he usually keeps you there.  I, for one, can't wait for this battle.
