RFO Big Guns 23 emanates from the Cleveland Masonic Temple in Cleveland, Ohio, Friday, March 24, at 7 p.m. ET, live on FloCombat. From MMA legends to up-and-coming prospects, you simply cannot miss this event, and here's why. 

Felon on the Loose

"Felony" Charles Bennett--formerly known as "Krazy Horse"--competes in his 64th career fight in the main event of RFO Big Guns 23, as he battles Ohio MMA mainstay Cody Stevens.

Bennett (30-31-2) is known to hardcore fans for his fights in PRIDE FC, Elite XC and most recently RIZIN. Bennett has won four of his last seven bouts since returning to MMA in 2015. Bennett took a hiatus from MMA from 2012 to 2015.

Stevens (12-9-1), meanwhile, is in desperate need of a victory, having lost four of his last five fights. The 34-year-old scrapper has fought the likes of UFC standouts Jimmie Rivera, Wilson Reis and former ONE FC champion Shinya Aoki, losing via decision to each. 

Policeman Pride

Hometown favorite and Cleveland police officer JT Miller looks for back-to-back wins when he clashes with Mike Cardona. The Strong Style Fight Team--home to UFC standouts such as Stipe Miocic and Jessica Eye--welterweight is coming off a first-round stoppage victory over Marcus Maulding at RFO Big Guns 21 and will be looking to make it two in a row for the first time in his career.

Cardona (2-2) heads into this matchup off a submission loss to Josh Rohler and will be looking to avoid back-to-back losses for the first time in his career. The 39-year-old fighter competes for the first time this year. 

Strezoski aims to stay unbeaten

Strong Style Fight Team student Luka Strezoski looks to rile up the hometown crowd as he battles lauded striker DeQuan Townsend. Strezoski (5-0) has won four of his five career fights by stoppage and competes in the United States for just the second time in his career. The 27-year-old Serbian hopes another impressive victory could land him in one of the bigger promotions.

Townsend (15-6) has lost three of his last four fights, including a setback to UFC veteran Dakota Cochrane. The 30-year-old Michigan native aims to play the role of spoiler as he heads into enemy territory.
