The contracts and fights just keep on rolling this season! Last week we had three more contracts awarded out of the five winning fighters. That brings the total this season to sixteen out of nineteen fight winners receiving contracts. I went 3-2 on fight picks last week bringing my total record this season to 14-4. We have a very exciting event coming this Tuesday with another full five-fight event. I would like to give a special shout out to Dylan Budka who will be competing this Tuesday on short notice to get the contract he very much deserves. I have watched him in person at LFA and instantly knew this guy had a very bright future. He is one of the best fighters outside the UFC from the Midwest, so let’s all get behind this future star and wish him luck! Now back to the business at hand the full event preview is listed below:
