Brad Imes Looks Towards IFL Heavyweight Title

Brad Imes has been booked to fight IFL Heavyweight Champ Roy Nelson for the title next weekend in Connecticut.

Nelson was originally slated to fight Brandon Lee Hinkle, but Hinkle has since been forced out of competition due to injury. Imes has stepped in at short notice to take the challenge.

This will be one of three title fights on the line at this event, one coming from Lightweight champion Ryan Schultz facing Deividas Taurosevicius, and the other from Middleweight Champ Ryan McGivern versus Dan Miller. Lightweight fighter Jim Miller has recently pulled out of the event after his opponent was forced out due to injury. Miller didn't want to face a new opponent after training so long for Fabricio Camoes.

The full fight card looks like this:

Roy Nelson vs. Brad Imes
Ryan McGivern vs. Dan Miller
Ryan Schultz vs. Deividas Taurosevicius
Lamont Lister vs. Aaron Stark
Nick Calandrino vs. John Howard
Josh Souder vs. Zac George
Joey Guel vs. Matt Horwich
Frank Latina vs. John Franchi
Danillo Villefort vs. Mike Massenzio
