July 9th Bruce Connors Will Face Micah Miller

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Bruce Connors will face what many say is his toughest challenge yet on July 9th in the XFC.  Micah Miller, a WEC veteran with nearly twice the fighting experience, is not someone to be taken lightly.  Bruce not only jumped on the opportunity, but requested someone of Micah’s talent so he could have a chance to show the MMA world why he deserves to be showcased.
