New Main Event For 'A Night of Knockout Fights' May 6 In Little Rock |
|
|
|
|
From Brandon Foster
Bad Boy Promotions
BATESVILLE, AR - There is a new main event to the May 6 "A Night of Knockout Fights" card in Little Rock, presented by Bad Boy Promotions and Electric Cowboy.
Originally, we had Mississippi's Bobby Bryant fighting in the main event, but because of some issues with the Arkansas Athletic Commission, we were unable to get Bryant approved for the card. We then looked to put Arlington,VA's Justin Ridgeway in against Dumfries, VA's Derek Amos in a cruiserweight bout for the new main event. But that fight has been scratched.
We are now lucky to announce we have the main event this card needs. It will be Little Rock's own heavyweight Randy Johnson (3-2, 2KOs) squaring off with 6-foot-2, 220-pound Nick "Bad News" Brown (0-1), fighting out of Baton Rouge.
