Apologies for the feature’s absence the past few evenings. I’m not going to run it over weekends just due to schedule conflicts with any live events.
Anyway, tonight we go back to February 12, 2004 when a 5-0 Scott Smith stepped into the cage to face James Irvin who had gotten his career off the ground with three straight wins. The fight took place at a Gladiator Challenge event and was contested at heavyweight. Irvin is now a light heavyweight and Smith is a middleweight and the size difference is quite clear in the cage.
Fun fact for the event: Dan Quinn (of insane internet ramblings about Stevia) picked up his third career win at the event with a submission victory over Adrian Perez. Adrian Perez is, of course, the guy with King of the Cage tattooed on his face who last fought in 2007 after his record had tumbled to 2-11 (he was finished 11 times). The win brought Quinn’s career record up to 3-3-1.
Anyway, on to the fight:
