Joe Riggs Not Licensed To Fight

Joe "Diesel" Riggs has been denied a license to fight in this weekend's Phoenix Fight 2, due to insufficient evidence that he is fit to fight.

Riggs has been sidelined since the 23rd February after suffering a back injury from a throw at the hands of Cory Devela, resulting in surgery to freeze 3 nerves in his back. Riggs' career has been plagued with injury and personal problems, and this has further added to his run of bad luck.

It is thought that TJ Grant will replace Riggs this Saturday in a bout against Mike Gates.
