Matt Scaggs and Jesse Lund at weigh-ins for MCC 8

At MCC 8 “Motivation” Matt Scaggs handed Jesse Lund the first and only loss of his MMA career.  Two years later, Josh “The Bull” Christensen and Matt Scaggs will meet to see if Scaggs can remain victorious over the dynamic duo, or if The Bull will charge right through him and settle the score.  One of the most colorful fighters on the MCC roster, Christensen made his mark when he battled Light Heavyweight Champion, Chuck “The Reverend” Grigsby on less than a weeks notice.  Although he came up short that night, The Bull instantly became a fan favorite with his stand and bang style, and his willingness to take on anyone put in front of him.

“Vicious Scaggalicious” who is best known for him battles with former Middleweight Champion, Mike “Mini Van” Van Meer, is re-focused, dedicated to training, and says he’s nobody’s stepping stone.  Competing both at 185 and 205, Scaggs is looking to make a run at the Light Heavyweight strap, but first he will have to get by the hard nosed jailer that will be standing in his way.  Always being one to hype a fight, Scaggs remarked, ” “I’ve dropped a couple fights, and now it’s time to work my way back to the top, so I plan to use Josh as my first victim. I hope he  changed his training partners because he’s obviously going to try to do what Jesse Lund couldn’t.”  Looking to even the score, The Bull quickly replied, “The day Scaggs beat Lund, was the luckiest day of his life and he knows it. The sun shines on a dogs ass every once in a while. You can’t train heart, and he has none, so he better come up with something good if he ever dreams of beating me.”

This is just one of the 13 action packed fights at MCC 22 “Reality Check”.  The card will feature a Lightweight Interim Championship bout as Joe “The Hammer” Brammer puts his title on the line to take on Chris “Mad Dog” Mickle.  For more information log on to www.MidwestCageChampionship.com.
