While Castle found it difficult to single out one fight that stood out from the evening’s bouts, he named the fight between Dylan ‘Mayhem’ Mestre and Cameron ‘The Torpedo’ Timm, as well as one of the two ladies’ bouts between Heike ‘C-4’ Herselman and Chantelee ‘The Gifted’ Joubert.
Looking to the next year, Castle promised for the fights to be even bigger and better with new developments set to be introduced.
