Predictions: Havoc FC 13

Every time an event rolls around, we bring in a guest analyst to weigh in on the matchups and lay down their picks for every fight on the card.

For Havoc FC 13, Connor Krebs has come aboard to share his breakdowns and predictions across all 10 MMA bouts.

Krebs currently holds an amateur MMA record of 2-1, with his most recent victory coming over Evan Piercey at Rumble in the Cage 57. Training out of Kensei Martial Arts in Red Deer, Alta., Krebs is very familiar with the local MMA scene. You can see him in the cage next at XFFC 20 in Grande Prairie when he takes on Isaiah Metituk.

Here are Krebs' predictions for Havoc FC 13:

Devon Neis (5-5) vs Josh Heinz (4-2): Fight Preview

"Neis hits hard and he's willing to take one to give one. I think this one ends early. Heinz has ended all his wins in the first round and has stopped two fights with spinning back fists, dating back to his amateur days. So, I'm not just picking the round, I'm calling my shot on this one. Neis' aggressive style will fall right into Heinz's game plan and allow him to use his favourite technique.

Prediction: Heinz defeats Neis by knockout in the first round.

Corey Gower (6-6) vs Rick Pfeifer (5-5): Fight Preview

"All of Pfeifer's wins have come by submission and Gower has shown that he is susceptible to being submitted, thus I believe Pfeifer will come through for his hometown crowd and catch Gower with a submission."

Prediction: Pfeifer defeats Gower by submission in the first round.

Chris Chapman (2-1) vs Justin Schmit (4-8): Fight Preview

"I've watched what Chapman does and I'm eager to see how he handles the transition—moving from being a large fighter in a lighter weight class to becoming a smaller fighter in a heavyweight division. That said, I believe he'll come out on top. Schmit has already fallen victim to head kicks twice, and I've personally witnessed Chapman land devastating head kicks that hurt opponents."

Prediction: Chapman defeats Schmit by unanimous decision.

Ryan Williams (0-0) vs John Nguyen (1-0)

"Williams earned a black belt at Arashi Do, and according to reports, he's exceptionally strong on the ground. Unfortunately, Nguyen has had a much busier schedule over the past three years, logging ten bouts, including a first-round knockout back in September. This matchup presents a real challenge for Williams, and honestly, I'm watching closely because I have personal interest in the outcome. I'm rooting for Williams and expect him to pull off a narrow decision victory."

Prediction: Williams defeats Nguyen by unanimous decision.

Ronnie Oar (0-4) vs Brad Robinson (1-5)

"Robinson has been the only one of these two to demonstrate an ability to secure a win so far, which leads me to believe Oar will fall to his fifth straight loss."

Prediction: Robinson defeats Oar by submission in the first round.

Patrick LeBlanc (0-5) vs Sean Carroll (0-1)

"I've watched LeBlanc compete more than once, and while a few of those bouts might have swung his way, I feel like he arrived a little late to this sport. Carroll, on the other hand, is a monster. He wants people to call him Sinister, but this young man is absolutely ruthless. He's fierce, he delivers heavy shots, he's tall and long-limbed, he understands how to leverage his frame, and he's completely consumed by this craft. When I want to discuss fights, I reach out to Carroll. If I want to step into the cage myself, I call Carroll. If I'm preparing for combat, I call Carroll."

Prediction: Carroll wins by knockout in the first round.

Travis Grayson (0-1) vs Leo Bonin (0-0)

"Grayson brings more time behind him in training and competition, and that accumulated experience should see him through to a victory here."

Prediction: Grayson defeats Bonin by unanimous decision.

Reese Ruberry (0-0) vs Grady Behrens (0-0)

"If you check Ruberry's Facebook profile picture, he looks noticeably out of shape. I think Behrens tears into Reese quite thoroughly. Clever wordplay, wasn't it?"

Prediction: Behrens defeats Ruberry by TKO in the second round.

Garrett Noonan (0-0) vs Jesus Ricko (0-0)

Finding information about Ricko proves difficult, but I'm completely confident that Noonan will walk away victorious in his professional debut. This man is one of the most dedicated athletes in the gym—he trains two, three, sometimes even four times a single day. He's an absolute machine. I've never seen anyone pick up MMA so rapidly."

Prediction: Noonan defeats Ricko by TKO in the third round.

Mike Ngo (0-1) vs Mike LeBlanc (1-1)

"Ngo is a seriously underrated grappler who will undoubtedly be looking to drag this contest to the mat when he lines up against the technical southpaw LeBlanc, who boasts his own solid ground game beneath the surface. However, it's on his feet where LeBlanc truly excels, and that's where I expect him to finish things quickly."

Prediction: LeBlanc defeats Ngo by knockout in the first round.
