After submitting Garret Nybakken two weeks ago to earn Unified MMA gold, Tristan “Boondock” Connelly will defend his lightweight title for the first time against UFC, WSOF veteran “Shaolin” Shane Campbell.
The news was announced on Monday.
Victoria BC’s Connelly (8-5) has won three straight victories, all via finish, in a row. In the co-main event of BFL 45, he picked up a quick knockout victory over Ash Mashreghi. He then traveled to Alberta, Canada and submitted Adam Assenza at Fight Night Medicine Hat 2.
