Ok friends, family, and fools. It’s Toussaint Harper back with the first edition of Picks and Hits. Picks being the picks of the Saturday nights first Boss Fight and the Hits being the current rankings. So without further ado the choices and why…
BOSS FIGHT #1
Walter Pyramid
Long Beach, California.
MAIN EVENT CRUISERWEIGHT DIVISION KAELAN LAUGHLIN VS XABIER BELAZCO
Why? I believe they kinda line up on the standup. One thing I will say is Xabier took a beating to decision. Where Laughlin took it to her opponent to the last, literally. Due to showing I think Laughlin can edge it out but Xabier can take a serious beating and it will take Laughlin all that and more to keep him down.
HEADLINE
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT ROUND ROBIN
SIMON BISHOP
VS
JEREMIAH FORD
Why? OK so this was tough. Ground game I give to Bishop due to dangerous submissions. Standing I give it to Ford. NOW...here’s where it gets tricky, Ford has already shut down one well to do submissionist. BUT...I do feel Bishop is stronger on the ground than Roberts. Ehhhh...ehhh its close to me. I think Bishop can do what Roberts couldn’t. MAIN CARD LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT ROUND ROBIN KIRA IZUMI VS AERON ROBERTS Why? In the fights that I’ve seen so far I believe Roberts is a little more controlled and collected than Izumi at this point. Of course that’s why the fights are always interesting because you’ll never know. CRUISERWEIGHT DIVISION HAILEY MCINTYRE VS AMEDEA RAO
Why? I’ve seen what a knockout can do to a person. Can either make them a shell of themselves or..pull some super saiyan out of their ends. I believe the latter will be in McIntyre’s wheelhouse. LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT EDAN MCLEOD VS SANG-HYUN LEE
Why? Gonna give it to the Factory guy it’s basically a coin flip for me because I am not well versed on either and this will be my first exposure to both. From background alone Edan seems to have at least seen some fights in his life so give the nod there.
RANKINGS
Keep in mind if you haven’t fought yet you are not on!! I have to see something before you see something!! O.o
I put a few more things into thought once the numbers/result don’t make it clear. Style points for dominance and or keeping a short time in victory. Also overall performance call it the eye test if you will. If they can decide college football tournaments off of that I can do it here.

@HarperTUGP is the contact for tears. I will answer all questions. As more fighters get into the thick of it and more fights come to the scene it will be a lot more clean to see.
