CG - LW - Adrian STEELE vs. Kevin LJUNG

Steele is another Canadian Wrestler from a great camp, but has a 0-1 record so we believe Kevin can put up a solid fight here. Kevin launched a promotion of his new diet plan and a fitness book he just compiled that he spent a good 4 years on. Kevin is likely looking to pick up steam here and we have been training his fortitude quite a bit. Should be a nice fight.

Result

Adrian Steele wins by Unanimous Decision

Kevin didn't do anything that third round and was constantly on the defensive so I can't be too upset with the result. A few issues to work on but we can get through it. His 1-3 record doesn't look great but he's still training his ass off.

In other good news, Sam Danielsson has recovered from his injury and has signed another contract with Preliator. We're anticipating an explosive return.
