He will enter the title fight after scoring an impressive victory against Robert Gotreau of Minnesota during King of the Cage “Attack Mode” in July.

The event will also feature Lac du Flambeau tribal member Adrian Pierson who will be seeking a win in the cage during an exciting match. Both athletes train at the Leadership Academy in Woodruff under Coach Gary Engels who is a 4th degree black belt.
