Reality Fighting at Mohegan Sun on January 5
by Brian Woodman Jr. on 01/04/13
A fight between 150-pounders Matt Bessette and Jeff Anderson will be among the highlights of the Reality Fighting event scheduled for January 5 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville. A previous piece we have done on Bessette (AKA The Mangler) can be found at http://www.nutmegmma.com/Spring-Summer2012_Archive6.html.
Nuri Shakir is also scheduled to fight Brett Oteri that evening in a welterweight title bout. The organization originally announced in September of last year that Oteri, who won the belt on June 2 after submitting Nate Lamotte, would fight former UFC competitor Ricardo Funch (see blog entry at http://www.nutmegmma.com/NutmegMMABlog.html?entry=ct-s-brett-oteri-to). Oteri also defeated Wang Sai due to disqualification during a middleweight bout at WCMMA I, which was hold at Foxwoods in Mashantucket (see story at http://www.nutmegmma.com/).
The evening's other title fight will be between Dwight Grant and Harley Beekham. The winner will receive an interim belt for the division.
