BODOGFIGHT “CLASH OF THE NATIONS” CARD COMPLETE, DEFRANCO BACK


By Loretta Hunt

Lightweight Santino DeFranco (14-5) has stepped in for an injured Mike Brown to complete BodogFIGHT’s second pay-per-view offering April 14 on tape delay from St. Petersburg, Russia. A promising candidate out of Arizona’s local scene, DeFranco had been considered for the first season of “The Ultimate Fighter” till a routine exam revealed two brain aneurysms in his scan. DeFranco, 25, has fought his way back though, and has recently been cleared by a physician to compete again.
