FloCombat returns to Kansas this Saturday night as Walkout FC 8: Veterans goes live at Cornerstone Event Center in Independence. The action kicks off at 8 PM EST and streams exclusively on FloCombat.

The upstart promotion will be making its official debut on FC, and here is one BIG reason why you will want to tune in this weekend.

Violent Sleeps En Route

Anytime the big boys get to chucking and gunning inside the cage, there is a high probability one of the fighters will face an abrupt end to his night. Interim heavyweight champion Billy Blackard will put his strap on the line against Osha Johnson on Saturday night at Walkout FC 8, and there’s no way this fight makes it to the final bell.

While Blackard struggled in his official debut, the Oklahoma-based slugger bounced back in his next showing by pounding out a finish against JW Kiser at Walkout FC 6 back in May. Blackard brought the heat so hard in that fight he forced his opponent to tap to strikes, and he’ll be looking to repeat that performance on Saturday night.

Johnson has much different plans.

While the Arkansas native has experienced mixed results inside the cage, Johnson is entering his matchup with Blackard with a bit of momentum. The 26-year-old slugger scored a late-round submission victory over Scott Stober in his most recent performance back in September.

Furthermore, with six bouts already under his belt, Johnson holds three times the experience Blackard can claim. Ring time can play a large factor in the early stages of a career, and Johnson will be looking to use the experience advantage in full at Walkout FC 8.
