Adrenaline MMA Lightweight Division Fight
Pat Curran (3-1-0) vs. Ramiro Hernandez (0-0-0)
Pat Curran is the brother of World Extreme Cagefighting veteran Jeff Curran and himself, is a veteran of the Xtreme Fighting Organization. Pat Curran started off his career with three straight victories over Tony Hervey, Lazar Stojadinovic and Amir Khillah, before suffering his only career loss to Darren Elkins in November 2008. Speaking of that loss to Darren Elkin, that fight occurred only two weeks ago, so conditioning may play a factor for Pat Curran. Pat Curran will be looking to put this fight on the ground, attaining a previous career victory by submission. This will be Ramiro Hernandez’s professional MMA debut, so his lack of experience could play a factor in this fight.
My Prediction: Pat Curran
Adrenaline MMA Middleweight Division Fight
Ryan McGivern (12-6-0) vs. Geno Roderick (6-6-0)
Ryan McGivern is a veteran of the International Fight League, having fought his last eleven professional MMA fights in the promotion, spanning three years.

In fact, the last time Ryan McGivern competed outside of the IFL, he suffered a loss to WEC veteran Brock Larson at Extreme Challenge 63. Ryan McGivern is a fighter who is comfortable wherever the fight ends up, with six career victories coming by knockout or submission. Geno Roderick is a well traveled MMA competitor who has spent the majority of his career in the King Of The Cage promotion. Earlier in his career, Geno Roderick fought and lost to UFC veteran Chad Reiner at the Xtreme Fight Organization 9 event January of 2006. In his twelve professional fights, none of them has gone to a decision, which speaks to Geno Rodericks finishing ability. Geno Roderick will be looking to use his striking skills to gain a victory, with four prior victories coming by knockout.
My Prediction: Ryan McGivern

“The Croatian Sensation” Pat Miletech (28-7-2) vs. Thomas “Wildman” Denny (26-17-0)
Pat Miletech is widely considered to be one of the greatest MMA fighters in MMA history and a former UFC Lightweight Champion. Pat Miletech has only competed once before in the last six years, due to suffering from a serious neck injury that required surgery. Either way, Pat Miletech is one of the most experienced MMA fighters competing today, having fought the likes of Dan Severn, Mikey Burnett, Shonie Carter, John Alessio, Carlos Newton, Matt Lindland and Renzo Gracie. The lack of competition for Pat Miletech in recent years could be his undoing in this fight, but he has stayed active in MMA as one of the worlds leading MMA trainers.

Thomas Denny is another very experienced MMA fighter who has spent the majority of his career in the King Of The Cage and Elite XC promotions. Thomas Denny has also fought top notch MMA competition, like Doug Evans, Yves Edwards, John Alessio, Duane Ludwig, Georges St. Pierre, Joe Stevenson, Alex Karalexis, Tony Fryklund and Nick Diaz. If Thomas Denny didn’t lose to Nick Diaz at Elite XC On CBS II, he very well could’ve been the top contender to the Elite XC Lightweight Title. Thomas Denny will be looking to put this fight on the ground, with fourteen career victories coming by submission.
My Prediction: Thomas Denny
