This weekend, Inside The Clinch had the honor of attending their first live event as part of the Media Team. It was an incredible experience and we look forward to returning for future events. Nonetheless, this past weekend was stacked with events in every major promotion including UFC, Bellator, BKFC, Boxing, & more! We also have the honor of being joined by Bellator's main event winner, Logan Storley. He pulled off a big upset with a 5 round UD against Neiman Gracie. He won just about every round and had the fans jumping out of their seats! He is looking for that title shot next and he sure has earned it. To conclude the show, we are also being joined by Davion Franklin, the 5-0 heavyweight quickly climbing the Bellator Heavyweight rankings. He faced his biggest test to date and passed with flying colors. He shared that he was sick with bronchitis going into this fight, and was still able to throw volume and power well into the third round.
