Next up, “Big Sexy” Billy Swanson checks in fresh off his second round TKO victory at Valor Fighting Challenge: Fight Night At The Joe over John Hall.

Swanson also talked about how great the atmosphere was Friday night and barring any injury, he’s eyeing his next fight in January.

Next up, Joey Zonar, the head coach at KMAA, and the guys recap the entire Valor Fighting Challenge: Fight Night At The Joe card in detail and share their thoughts on how the night played out and where Valor Fighting Challenge goes from here.
