strawweight division <\/a>fight.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeptember 19th is the date for Dana White\u2019s Contender Series 63, and all eyes will be on the UFC Apex Center in Vegas; the scorecard looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talita Alencar Vs. Stephanie Luciano<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Talita Alencar is from Carutapera, Brazil, and is an MMA fighter with a black belt in BJJ (Brazilian jiu-jitsu). Alencar is a Gi and No-Gi world Jiu-Jitsu Champ; she has three colored belts to her name. Super sporty Alencar is favored for the win, but Stephanie Luciano is a young contender who might knock the wind out of her sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stephanie Luciano is a mere 23-year-old strawweight who looks dangerous. The young fighter\u2019s pro-MMA record reads 5-1-0, nicknamed \u2018Rondinha\u2019 meaning round (it\u2019s also a place in Rio Grande do Sul). She might be able to rely on her youth and enthusiasm to get her through, but the sad fact is she is likely to lose, and it won\u2019t be pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kaynan Kruschewsky Vs. Dylan Mantello<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Lightweight fighters Kaynan Kruschewsky and Dylan Mantello (Bahia vs. The Quiet Man) meet at the Apex to discuss their differences with their fists. The fighters are on the main card, but those in the know say Mantello \u201chas no chance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their sheets look like this: Kruschewsky from Brazil is 14-1-0, and homegrown Mantello looks like 7-2-0. They are fighting at a similar weight and two years between them in age. Mantello towers over Kruschewsky. For a reason, this fight is a main card event, and you know what they say about the quiet ones? They are the worst!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jhonata Silva Vs. Igor da Silva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Silva vs. da Silva, a match to watch, a battle of the Brazilian against the Italian for supremacy in the flyweight division. Silva is a young upstart at 20 years old and 124.8 lbs (56.6 kgs), while da Silva is 26 and 117.7 lbs (53.4 kgs). Fight enthusiasts say the older man has it, but Silva won\u2019t go down without a fight, and that fight is likely to be bloody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shamil Gaziev Vs. Greg Velasco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As heavyweight bouts go, this duel at the Apex looks to make history. Gaziev KO\u2019d former KSW title contender and UFC challenger Darko Sto\u0161i\u0107 from Serbia, making Sto\u0161i\u0107 the ninth scalp of his MMA career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Velasco defended the Cage Fury FC heavyweight title with a TKO against Ron Coleman, giving Velasco a 6-0 score sheet. Velasco, a former NCAA wrestler (Collegiate wrestling), claimed the belt from Kevin Sears in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bout will be challenging, and the heavies are not looking to take any prisoners. The smart bucks are on Gaziev, but we are not so sure. You must watch it to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, JaCobi Jones and Daniel James Allen, the Apex, draw to a close with this exciting match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JaCobi Jones Vs. Daniel James Allen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Both men are in a win-lose-draw situation, meaning they have something to prove. The only thing we want to add is that \u2018Big Toe\u2019 Jones is on a mission to put Allen down, but pundits are not having any of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allen from the American Kickbox Society seems to have it in the bag; with a 4-0-0 score sheet, he has not lost, but you know what they say about men with big feet? No, neither do we!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
