Perhaps this weekend’s XFC fight didn’t go as we had anticipated for Projekt Label Team Fighter Bruce “The Noose” Connors, but the demonstration he put on in the cage will solidify him not only as one of the top featherweight contenders in the world, but a true champion and dedicated profesional, in every sense of the word. Connors entered the fight Vs. Jarrod Card as the favorite, boasting a 6-0 record – with all six wins coming by first round knockout or submission.
Unfortnatley, utilizing blazing foot-speed and precision punches, Card confounded Connors, peppering him with strikes from unorthodox angles, slicing his face into a gruesome mask of shredded flesh and free-flowing blood. Connors refused to back down and twice clamped Card into a deep guillotine, but each time the young fighter wrestled free and returned to his feet. Card ultimately won the contest, in decision.
While Bruce may not have won this particular fight, he won over the nearly 6,000 fans at the Thompson Boling Arena that night. By the end of the fight, the audience was on it’s feet, chanting Connor’s name and pulling for him to win the fight. Bruce was a relentless soldier and never once backed down. This relentless attitude not only won over the audience, but also the HD Net executives, who opted to continue the live coverage of the main event, even though it had extended past the alloted time for the live television coverage.
Bruce is a true champion in every sense of the word and we are proud to say that he is a Projekt Label Team Fighter!
