The cast of the new MMA reality show from Bellator & Spike has been announced. While it consists mostly of young prospects and journeymen, it contains a couple surprising names as well.
Previewing the sturdy WSOF undercard: Ronys Torres vs. Brian Cobb, Gerald Harris vs. Josh Burkman, David Branch vs. Dustin Jacoby plus recognizable names like "JZ" Cavalcante and Waylon Lowe.
Robert Drysdale draws Ike Villanueva in his Legacy Fighting Championship debut. Also on tap is Macaco's lightweight debut for the vacant title against Jesus Rivera.
Salaries for Strikeforce Challengers 18 were released by the Nevada State Athletic Commission early Monday morning. The total disclosed payroll for the event was $92,000. Pat Healy and Gian Villante topped the salary list with reported earnings of $10,000 apiece.
Strikeforce Challengers 18 is set to be held August 12th at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. A lightweight bout between Jorge Gurgel vs. Joe Duarte headlines the action.
