Heavyweight Tournament Fight
Shawn McLean vs Rob Maldonado
The co-main event sees two exciting heavyweight prospects lock horns in their bid to securing their spot in the orgs first ever heavyweight title fight.
Shawn McLean, the 6-0 prospect coming from the Gorilla Warfare MMA fight camp is still riding high from his second round knockout of Courtney Youngs at Primal 2. McLean has taken his training to the next level in the lead up to this fight and only time will tell if he can overcome the exciting Maldonado. Huge punching power and a killer instinct, McLean will need to be at his absolute best if he is to power through Maldonado.
Rob Maldonado, a 2-0 grappler from Team Rain will come into the fight with a distinct wrestling advantage and some of the heaviest hands in the division. Coming off a dominant clinch display that saw him finish Eriksson in his first tournament fight, the question will be if Maldonado chooses to stay standing this time, or whether he chooses to take down the explosive McLean before the dynamite goes off.
