Bart Palaszewski vs. Richard Crunkilton
In another big Lightweight matchup, IFL veteran Bart Palaszewski is set to face off with American Kickboxing Academy slugger Richard “Cleat” Crunkilton. Palaszewski is in rebuilding mode after a disastrous end to his run in IFL in which he dropped three straight fights after previous success.
Crunkilton was well on his way to a title shot in WEC before having his hopes derailed by strikes from former champion Rob McCullough. Stylistically, the two fighters are very similar, with good submission games and better striking.
In the end, Crunkilton’s superior training camp should pay dividends here in the form of a second round KO victory.
