I met Bruce many years ago when he was an up-and-coming amateur fighter, fighting for XCP when Cathy owned the promotion. He was one of my favorite fighters to watch. I would always meet him to buy tickets to the show because we always knew, win, lose or draw, Bruce was about to put on a show. This is what we loved the most about watching Bruce fight; his willingness to just bang it out in the middle of the cage. Unlike most fighter Bruce wasn’t formally trained, so all of his experience came from getting in the cage over and over. He has been inside that cage over 55 times as an amateur. He is a seasoned fighter just starting his Pro Career 0-1 as an MMA fighter, right here in Barre Vermont. Bruces style will make for a super exciting fight against Josh Hardy – Rex Thompson DBFP
