FloCombat Prospects Update: Schedule Sept. 8-11
By Shawn Bitter

Prospect Watch is a weekly feature highlighting fighters on the FloCombat North American MMA Prospect List who recently competed or are set to fight this weekend.

Friday, Sept. 8


#19 Featherweight Alex Morgan (7-2) vs. Joao Luis Nogueira (24-6)
Morgan is on quite an impressive four-bout win streak, including a first-round knockout of No. 15-ranked TJ Laramie in April at TKO 38. Meanwhile, Nogueira is on a nine-fight win streak. As a fighter with tons of experience, he is a huge test here for Morgan.


Bantamweight Louis Jourdain (4-1) vs. Atsushi Fujino (3-0)
Louis is the younger brother of another high-level prospect, No. 17-ranked Charles Jourdain. Louis is coming off a win against highly touted Tony Laramie and looking to make it two in a row for the TKO promotion. Fujino is an undefeated fighter out of Tristar.


#1 Heavyweight Adam Dyczka (5-0) vs. Ricardeau Francois (10-14)
Dyczka is looking to stay undefeated and remain as FloCombat's No. 1 heavyweight prospect. Francois is 2-6 in his last 8 bouts.


Bantamweight Tyler Wilson (2-0) vs. Frederick Dupras (0-0)
After beating the previously mentioned Louis Jourdain in January, Wilson showed he is an up-and-comer himself. Only 2-0 as a pro, Wilson had a lot of experience on the amateur scene and compiled an 8-3 record. Dupras is making his pro debut.


#2 Middleweight Ian Heinisch (8-0) vs. Markus Perez (8-0)
Heinisch is an undefeated fighter out of Factory-X who is looking for his biggest win of his career. This fight is for the vacant LFA middleweight title, and with a win here expect the UFC to give Heinisch a call. Perez is an undefeated Brazilian with wins over two ex-UFC fighters in Paulo Thiago and Ildemar Alcantara.


Women's Strawweight Maycee Barber (1-0) vs. Mallory Martin (1-1)
Barber really impressed people when she took out highly touted Itzel Esquivel with a stunning first-round submission in June. At just 19 years old, Barber has a bright future but is coming off her first loss after five straight wins.


Featherweight Derek Brenon (5-0) vs. Boimah Karmo (4-2)
Brenon is a former NCAA Division III champion with a black belt in judo and a background in jiu-jitsu. Undefeated as a pro and amateur, Brenon will be making his LFA debut against Karmo, who is on a two-fight win streak.


Flyweight Chris Collins (2-0) vs. Jason Huntley (4-5)
Collins had a long and impressive career in the amateur ranks and finished with a 10-3 record. The undefeated 24-year-old is undefeated as a pro and looking to make a name for himself. Huntley is on a three-fight skid.

Saturday, Sept. 9


Bantamweight Jesse Arnett (12-4) vs Johnny Bedford (23-13)
Despite being 33, Arnett is one of the best fighters not signed to a big promotion. Fighting out of Canada, Arnett has beat basically nothing but stiff competition in the last two years, and this fight is for the FN Medicine Hat vacant title. Bedford is a well-known fighter who was in the UFC.


#14 Welterweight Peter Grajcar (5-0) vs. #13 Chris Curtis (16-5)
In one of the top matchups of the weekend, Grajcar and Curtis will fight for the FN Medicine Hat championship.
