Brammer out, Superman to the rescue! Amongst some promotions, when one of the main event fighters is forced out of their scheduled bout, it spells almost certain turmoil for that show.

Fight week. This is the week I’ve been preparing myself for over the last 10 weeks. It all comes down to Friday night. I have worked to hard and sold to many tickets to come up short. Thank you all who bought tickets and continue to support me. Normally, this would be considered hell week [...]
Apparently, my 3 year old has it all figured out. I reached into the snack cupboard to grab a handful of peanuts and he yelled out, “No Daddy! You can’t eat that!” He seems to know when I am working on cutting weight. So, I sat down and made a plan of what I am [...]

It’s something that I can’t help but laugh at every time I hear. Guys who have seen an MMA fight on tv, but have never stepped foot in a gym to train for one, saying, “I could do that.” They apparently have no clue what kind of commitment it takes to be a true MMA [...]
The intense training continues on. I love training and physically pushing myself to my limits and beyond. I planned to do just that when I left my house Saturday afternoon to go for what I thought was going to be one of my ordinary runs. It was anything but. I got about a block from [...]
We are four weeks away from victory. I say this because my confidence is sky high right now. If camp keeps going this way it has been, then I will have no problem June 24th. I have fought all over the United States, but when I’m fighting in front of my home town, it’s a [...]
My name is Calley Kruger and I will be fighting in the main event at MCC 34 against Victor Moreno on June 24th. You may be more familiar with Victor since he is a native to the Des Moines area, so many of you may be wondering, “Who is Calley Kruger?” So I will dedicate [...]
