Marloes Coenen And Yana Kunitskaya Both Try To Get Taste Of Defeat Out Of Their Mouths On MTV2 Card!

 

 

 

Saturday, Week 2, April 2014 in Massachusetts, USA

 

 

 

MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Womens Lightweight: Marloes Coenen (22-6, 2-1 WEC) vs. Yana Kunitskaya (7-2, 3-1 WEC)

 

Marloes Coenen was cruising through the Womens Lightweight Tournament, scoring submission victories over Colleen Schneider and Cindy Dandois before running headlong into eventual Womens Lightweight Champion Julia Judd, who stopped her in her tracks, handing her a decision loss in the semi-finals! Yana Kunitskaya has a very similar story, as she scored a submission over Tandi Shaeffer, TKO'd Valentina Shevchenko, and took a decision from Rin Nakai, before dropping a decision to Julia Budd in the first ever WEC Womens Lightweight Title Bout!

 

 

 

CO-MAIN EVENT

 

 

 

Featherweight: Joe Stevenson (34-15, 3-0 WEC) vs. Pat Schilling (6-2, 1-0 WEC)

 

Joe Stevenson started his run in the WEC with a TKO victory over Dane Sayers, then went on to take a split decision from Rolando Delgado, and submit Jens Pulver! Pat Schilling's TKO victory over Brandon Visher in the prelims of WEC 10: Night of Champions stole the show, taking home Fight of the Night honours!

 

 

 

UNDERCARD

 

 

 

Lightweight: Alex Ricci (7-1, 2-1 WEC) vs. John Alessio (33-19, 0-3 WEC)

 

Alex Ricci began his WEC career with an impressive TKO victory over Carlo Prater, and continued to take a decision from Jose Aguillar, before losing for the first time in his MMA career, when he was submitted in the first round by Joe Ellenberger! This is likely John Alessio's final chance to earn a victory in the WEC cage, he has racked up losses by submission to Kurt Pellegrino, by decision to Efrain Escudero, and by submission to Gregor Gracie!

 

 

 

Bantamweight: Tuerxun Jumabieke (15-1, 0-0 WEC) vs. Angel Huerta (5-1, 1-0 WEC)

 

Tuerxun Jumabieke appeared on four episodes of BAMMA in 2013, losing only once, he took a decision from Masahiro Oishi, before losing by submission to Akitoshi Tamura, then bounced back to score a submission victory over Chris David, and a decision victory over Nathan Beer! Angel Huerta made his WEC debut last September, and took a poorly fought decision over Lennox Chance!

 

 

 

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Featherweight: Freddy Assuncao (6-3, 0-2 WEC) vs. Micah Miller (18-6, 1 NC, 1-1 WEC)

 

Freddy Assuncao is on the brink of losing his career in the WEC if he can't pick up a victory here, as he has lost by decision to Din Thomas, and was submitted by Mike Corey! However, he will have a stiff task in Micah Miller, Miller failed to get into the house during the fourteenth season of the Ultimate Fighter, and then opened his WEC career with a submission loss to John Gunderson, before bouncing back with a Fight of the Night performance in knocking out Jens Pulver at WEC 6!

 

 

 

Flyweight: Roy Docyogen (9-3, 0-3 WEC) vs. Jonathan Mackles (10-3, 1-1 WEC)

 

Roy Docyogen is definately on his last legs with the WEC if he can't pick up the victory here, he lost by TKO to Abel Cullum in the first round of the Flyweight Grand Prix, and dropped decisions to Jose Maria Tome, and Joseph Sandoval! He will have a hard opponent however in Jonathan Mackles, who fell by first round TKO to Sergio Pettis in his debut, but bounced back to take a decision from Josh Paiva!

 

 

 

Womens Flyweight: Bethany Marshall (4-3, 0-2 WEC) vs. Sarah McLeod (0-2, 0-2 WEC)

 

This might just be a loser leaves town fight, as both are teetering on the brink of lengthening their losing streaks! Bethany Marshall took a TKO loss to Carina Damm in the opening round of the Womens Flyweight Grand Prix, and dropped a very poorly fought decision to Lena Ovchynnikova! Meanwhile McLeod was TKO'd in her MMA debut by Jenna Castillo, and was later knocked out by Jessica Eye!

 

 

 

Lightweight: Curtis Garofalo (0-2, 0-2 WEC) vs. Jesse Ronson (9-4, 0-2 WEC)

 

This could be a big house cleaning show for WEC, as this will likely be another winner stays with the company affair! Garofalo lost his MMA debut by decision to Angelos Zampakikas, and then was submitted by Christian Uflacker! Jesse Ronson meanwhile dropped a decision to Dustin Hazelett in the first round of the Lightweight Grand Prix, and later fell by first round TKO to Patrick Iodice!

Fallout

 

 

 

The following fighters have been released following WEC Action on MTV2: Coenen vs. Kunitskaya!

 

 

 

Curtis Garofalo has been released from his contract after failing to pick up a victory in three career fights! He dropped a unanimous verdict to Angelos Zampakikas in his MMA debut at WEC 4: Pellegrino vs. Horodecki, then lost by submission in a Fight of the Night performance against Christian Uflacker at WEC 8: Pulver vs. Stevenson, before losing by Submission to Jesse Ronson at WEC Action on MTV2: Coenen vs. Kunitskaya!

 

Sarah McLeod has been released from her contract after failing to pick up a victory in three career fights! She fell by first round TKO to Jenna Castillo in her MMA debut at WEC 6: Coenen vs. Dandois, then was knocked out by Jessica Eye at WEC CageRage on HDNet: Sandoval vs. Kojima, and finally was stopped by second round TKO by Bethany Marshall at WEC Action on MTV2: Coenen vs. Kunitskaya!

He first fell to Abel Cullum via first round TKO in the first round of the Flyweight Title Grand Prix at WEC Action on MTV2: Kojima vs. Ortiz, then dropped decisions to Jose Maria Tome at WEC 7: Winner vs. Whitson, Joseph Sandoval at WEC 9: Njokuani vs. Hallman, and Jonathan Mackles at WEC Action on MTV2: Coenen vs. Kunitskaya!

Dennis Hallman has been around a long time, a submission fighter, he also has great takedown, and submission defense, but his stand-up is lacking, and he is well known to have his issues with cardio, which could become a factor if the fight goes the distance! He opened his WEC career, grinding out a split decision victory over Efrain Escudero in the first round of the Lightweight Title Grand Prix, before losing a unanimous verdict to Kyle Watson in the quarter-final, he bounced back with a decision victory over Anthony Njokuani! Dustin Hazelett is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, with an amazing arsenal of submissions, however his takedown defense isn't very good, and his stand up game barely exists at all, he has much better conditioning than Hallman however, which could become a factor in the late rounds! He opened his WEC career with a decision victory over Jesse Ronson in the opening round of the Lightweight Title Grand Prix, before losing out in the semi-final, dropping a decision to Andre Winner, he later bounced back, taking a decision from Anthony Njokuani!

 

 

 

Featherweight: Darren Elkins (15-2, 0-0 WEC) vs. Charles Oliveira (16-4, 1 NC, 0-0 WEC)

Womens Lightweight: Cindy Dandois (7-2, 2-1 WEC) vs. Lalani Malley-Mancao (3-0, 2-0 WEC)

PRELIMINARY CARD

 

 

 

Womens Flyweight: Felice Herrig (7-6, 2-2 WEC) vs. Mitsuyo Miki (1-0, 1-0 WEC)

 

Felice Herrig asked for this fight, and should get everything she can handle in a striking war with up and coming prospect Mitsuyo Miki! Felice Herrig has shown the same inconsitencies that have plagued her throughout her career since coming to the WEC, starting out strong by taking a decision from Rosi Sexton in the first round of the Womens Flyweight Title Grand Prix, before being submitted in the first round by Tara Larosa in the quarter-finals! She bounced back, taking a decision from Kyra Gracie, before losing a decision to Ashley Cummins! Mitsuyo Miki made her MMA debut with the WEC, following a very successful career in national level Taekwondo in Japan, scoring a second round TKO victory over fellow debutant Bernice Crane!

 

 

 

Featherweight: Adam Schindler (10-4, 0-1 WEC) vs. Brandon Bender (9-1, 1-0 WEC)

 

A former West Virginia state wrestling champion, Adam Schindler made his WEC debut against Anthony Gutierrez, dropping a decision! Brandon Bender holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and complements it with his experience in wrestling and taekwondo! He took the victory in his WEC debut, submitting Ivo dos Santos!

 

 

 

Bantamweight: Jose Adriano (7-3, 1-1 WEC) vs. Nick Pace (6-5, 0-2 WEC)

 

With a solid base in both Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Jose Adriano can take the fight wherever it has to go to achieve the victory, he submitted Jason Sampson in his WEC debut, before taking a split decision loss to Travis Reddinger! Nick Pace is mainly a striker, but has been working on his wrestling and submissions lately, he's on his last legs in the WEC though, and after a decision loss to Josh Hill, and being submitted by Anthony Birchak, a loss could see him leaving the company!

 

 

 

Womens Lightweight: Revelina Berto (4-1, 1-1 WEC) vs. Munah Holland (7-4, 0-2 WEC)

 

Rising prospect Revelina Berto performed surprisingly well in her WEC debut against Cyborg Santos, there's no arguing that she won the first round, before giving way to Cyborg's power in the second in a TKO loss, she bounced back from that however, taking a first round TKO over Jennifer Maia! Munah Holland has been less than impressive, suffering a brutal TKO defeat at the hands of Kameko Ito in Ito's debut fight, and then being knocked out by Jennifer Maia!

 

 

 

Flyweight: Yuki Shojo (12-10-2, 0-3 WEC) vs. Frank Baca (14-3, 1-2 WEC)

 

This is definately Japanese shootfighter Yuki Shojo's final shot at picking up a victory in the WEC cage, as losses by TKO to Hector Sandoval in the first round of the Flyweight Title Grand Prix, by submission to Shinichi Kojima, and by decision to Dustin Ortiz have him knocking on the door to the unemployment line! Frank Baca didn't have the best start to his WEC career being TKO'd in just 41 seconds by Allamurad Karayev in the first round of the Flyweight Title Grand Prix, and then being knocked out by Joseph Sandoval, but he hopes he turned the corner in his last fight, where he took a decision from Sean Santella!

 

 

 

Lightweight: Federico Vila (0-1, 0-1 WEC) vs. Matias Ismail (0-0, 0-0 WEC)

 

Muay Thai fighter Federico Vila suffered a disappointing first round TKO loss to Kurt Southern in his MMA debut, and will be looking to bounce back against the debuting Matias Ismail! Ismail is a highly-ranked Taekwondo fighter, whose main strengths lie in his toughness, conditioning, and devastating strikes, and kicks! He has no ground game to speak of however, so he'll look to keep the fight standing, as despite Vila's striking background, Vila is the much better grappler of the two!
