PREVIEWING THE ADRENALINE MMA IV PRELIMINARY CARD

By David Tees on 9/14/2009 8:17 PM
Adrenaline MMA Middleweight Division Fight

Robert Rojas (0-0-0) vs. Ryan Shell (1-1-0)

Robert Rojas will be making his professional MMA debut in this fight, but he has fought four times in amateur MMA competition. Despite being a professional MMA fighter for over three years, Ryan Shell has only competed in two MMA fights. In his professional MMA debut, Ryan Shell lost to Darin Brudigan, but rebounded to gain his first career victory over John Chester in early 2009. Ryan Shell will be looking to put the fight on the ground, with his lone MMA victory coming by submission.

My Prediction: Robert Rojas

Adrenaline MMA Lightweight Division Fight

Dakota Cochrane (0-0-0) vs. Bill Holcombe (0-0-0)

Dakota Cochrane will be making his professional MMA debut in this fight, but he has gone undefeated in his three amateur MMA fights. Bill Holcombe will also be making his professional MMA debut in this fight, but he has fought in over five amateur MMA fights during his career.

My Prediction: Bill Holcombe

Adrenaline MMA Heavyweight Division Fight

John Hansen (0-0-0) vs. Gregg Van Der Beek (0-0-0)

John Hansen will be making his professional MMA debut in this fight, but he has won three of his four amateur MMA fights. Greg Van Der Beek will also be making his professional MMA debut in this fight, but he does so without any amateur MMA experience to speak of.

My Prediction: John Hansen

Adrenaline MMA Featherweight Division Fight

Matt Bentley (0-0-0) vs. Danny Black (0-0-0)

Matt Bentley will be making his professional MMA debut in this fight and has also lost in his lone amateur MMA appearance in March 2009. Danny Black will also be making his professional MMA debut in this fight, but unlike Matt Bentley, won his lone amateur MMA fight.

My Prediction: Danny Black

Adrenaline MMA Lightweight Division Fight

Marcos Marquez (0-0-0) vs. Dustin Smith (0-1-0)

Despite this being the professional MMA debut for Marcos Marquez, he has previously fought in five amateur MMA fights, winning four of them. In his lone professional MMA fight, Dustin Smith lost to Buddy Williams by submission at an Xtreme Combat event in April 2009. Dustin Smith will be looking to put the fight on the ground to win the fight, with his past experience as an amateur wrestler.

My Prediction: Marcos Marquez

Adrenaline MMA Lightweight Division Fight

Corey McDonald (0-0-0) vs. Todd Meneely (0-0-0)

Despite this fight marking the professional MMA debut for Corey McDonald, he has fought previous before in amateur MMA, winning one of two fights. Todd Meneely will also be making his professional MMA debut, but does have past experience as an NCAA wrestler.

My Prediction: Corey McDonald
