PREL - FLY - Sal HERRING vs. Sam DANIELSSON

Danielsson hasn't had good luck in Preliator thus far, unable to pull through with a victory. He has been pretty disheartened after his decision loss to Dong Wan Song and hasn't shown the same dedication since. He went back to sleeping around with women rather than training strictly, but he has the 'IT' factor a lot of other fighters don't have.

Sal "Red" Herring wins by Split Decision

A tough decision loss, and Danielsson has yet to win a fight in Preliator. I decided to take him back to ABC so Sammy boy can find himself. He hasn't looked himself for several months.
