MMA Portion: 

MMA 135 AM Chris Ruopp 0-1 (ATT-CT) vs. Anthony Alvarado 2-1 (Underdog MMA)

In the first mma match up Chris Ruopp will be taking on Anthony Alvarado in the 135 lb division.  Ruopp trains with ATT CT and comes into this fight with an 0-1 record.  He lost his first fight by decision to Brett Kerpa at PFC 16 back in 2014.  His opponent is Anthony Alvarado and he trains with Underdog MMA.  He comes into this fight with a 2-1 record with both wins by decision.  He lost his last fight by a decision to Jessen Ramcharan.  I see this fight being a solid back and forth battle with the slight edge to Alvarado.

MMA 130 AM Stanislav Rakov 0-0 (FAA) vs. Marc Conte 0-0 (Calandrelli BJJ)

Then at 130 lbs Stan Rakov will be taking on Marc Conte.  Rakov trains with FAA and he will be making his amateur debut.  His opponent is Marc Conte and he trains with Calandrelli BJJ.  He will also be making his amateur debut.  Two new fighters from great schools in New England should make for a solid fight.

MMA 170 AM Shane Dillehay 1-1 (Tri-Force) vs. Jon Silva 0-0 (Simmler BJJ)

At 170 lbs Shane Dillehay will be squaring off against Jon Silva.  Shane trains with Triforce and comes into this fight with a 1-1 record.  He has 1 win by ko/tko to strikes and 1 loss by submission.  His opponent is Jon Silva and he trains with Simmler BJJ.  I see this one being a ground battle.

MMA 120 AM Brianna Sargent 1-0 (Jitsu Life) vs. Ashley Barrett 2-1 (USMMA)

Next up is a 120 lbs catch weight battle between Brianna Sargent and Ashley Barrett.  Brianna trains with Jiu-Jitsu Life and comes into this fight with a 1-0 record.  She has her first win by armbar at a previous Reality event.  Her opponent is Ashley Barrett and she trains with USMMA.  She comes into this fight with a 2-1 record with 1 ko/tko and 1 by submission.  Her only loss came by a split decision loss at Cage Titans against Natalie Schlesinger.  This is going to be a big female showdown in New England.  I see this one being a back and forth battle which really the fight could go standing or a ground battle.  This one is too close for me to call.

MMA 155 AM Cullen Johnson 1-1 (FAA) vs. Cole Brackett 1-1 (The Cage JSA)

Cullen Johnson will be facing off against Cole Brackett at 155 lbs.  Cullen trains with FAA and comes into this fight with a 1-1 record with 1 ko/tko win and 1 loss by decision.  His opponent is Cole Brackett and he trains out of The Cage JSA.  He steps into this fight with a 1-1 record with 1 win by ko/tko and 1 loss by decision.  This fight is going to be another solid war as both fighters have similar styles and not only are their records exactly the same they both won and lost exactly the same.  

MMA 145 AM Jessen Ramcharan 4-1 (Renzo Gracie CT) vs. Tayvonne Thomas 2-0 (Atlas BJJ)

Then at 145 lbs Jessen Ramcharan will be taking on Tayvonne Thomas.  Jessen trains with Renzo Gracie CT and comes into this fight with a 4-1 record.  In the win column, he has 3 submissions and 1 by decision.  His 1 loss came by a split decision back in 2018.  His opponent is Tayvonne Thomas and he trains with Atlas BJJ.  For his wins, he has 1 win by submission and 1 by decision.  I see this one being a ground battle for sure.

MMA 115 AM Traci Baldwin 1-2 (Thornton MMA) vs. Erica Valentin 0-1 (Underdog MMA)

Next up is 115 lbs showdown between Traci Baldwin and Erica Valentin.  Traci trains with Thornton MMA and steps into this fight with a 1-2 record.  She has her 1 win by submission and for her 2 losses she lost by ko/tko to strikes.  Her opponent is Erica Valentin and she trains with Underdog.  She comes into this fight with an 0-1 record with her 1 loss by submission at a former Cage Titans event.  I think this is a great match up that should be a back and forth ground battle.

MMA 135 AM Mike Antidormi 0-0 (CT Combat) vs. Jose Ramos 0-0 (Calandrelli BJJ)

At 135 lbs Mike Antidormi will be challenging Jose Ramos.  Mike trains out of CT with CT Combat and he will be making his amateur debut.  Mike has won a grappling match at Top Level Pro Grappling 3 back in November.  His opponent is Jose Ramos and he trains with Calandrelli BJJ.  He will also be making his amateur debut.  I see this one being a ground battle but hard to say since they are both two new amateurs.  We will find out this Saturday!!

MMA 125 PRO Brandon Neiford 0-1 (G&G Wrestling) vs. Justin Valentin 2-2 (Underdog MMA)

Then at 125 lbs Brandon Neiford will be facing off against Justin Valentin in a professional battle.  Neiford trains with G&G Wrestling and he steps into this fight with an 0-1 record.  He lost his first pro bout by a rear naked choke against Tim Flores back at Premier FC 37.  His opponent is Justin Valentin and he trains with Underdog.  He steps into this fight with a 2-2 record with 1 submission win and 1 by split decision.  For his losses, he lost both of his fights by way of decision.  This is an awesome matchup that I definitely see this one being a ground battle when both of these bulls are locked in the cage.  

MMA 137 PRO Niyaz Ahmed 1-0 (Renzo Gracie Queens) vs. Kibedy Gordon 1-0 (Regiment Training Center)

At a catch weight Niyaz Ahmed will be squaring off against Kibedy Gordon at a catch weight of 137 lbs.  Ahmed trains with Renzo Gracie Queens and he comes into this fight with a 1-0 record.  He won his first bout by a decision at the last Premier FC event.  His opponent is Kibedy Gordon and he trains with Regiment Training Center.  He also steps into this fight with a 1-0 record with his first win by armbar submission.  Another solid match up for Reality and this one could go standing or ground as both of these fighters are very well rounded.

MMA 170 PRO Oscar Vera 0-2 (Musuko's Championship) vs. Cam Resnisky 1-0 (The Cage JSA)

Then at 170 lbs Oscar Vera will be taking on Cam Resnisky.  Vera trains with Masuko's MMA and Boxing Academy and comes into this fight with an 0-2 record.  He lost both of his fights by armbar at previous Bellator shows.  He is still hungry for his first pro fight.  His opponent is Cam Resnisky and he trains with The Cage JSA.  Cam steps into this fight with a 1-0 record with his 1 win by ko/tko to strikes from the last Premier FC show.  I see this fight being an absolute stand up war and should be real fun battle for the fans.  I have to give the slight edge to Cam in this one but of course this is mma and anything can happen!

MMA 135 PRO Johnny Campbell 21-14 (SSSF) vs. Johnny Lopez 12-5 (Underdog MMA)

In the main event Johnny Cupcakes Campbell will be taking on Johnny Lopez in what I like to call the "Battle of the Johnny's II!"  Campbell trains with SSSF and comes into this fight with a 21-14 record.  In the win column, he has 8 ko/tko, 7 submission and 6 wins by decision.  For his losses, he lost 2 ko/tko, 3 submission and 9 by decision.  His opponent is Johnny Lopez and he trains with Underdog.  He comes into this fight with a 12-5 record with 6 wins by submission and 6 wins by decision.  For his losses, he lost 2 by ko/tko, 1 by submission and 2 by decision.  Now the first time these guys fought back in 2019 it went down to a decision and Lopez took the victory at Reality.  Now fast forward 3 years later the rematch is happening again and these guys are top notch fighters.  I see this one coming down to a decision again but I see it once again being razor close battle!
