On Friday, May 5, Victory Fighting Championship visited the Expo Centre in Topeka, Kan., for VFC 57: Gallemore vs. James.
In the evening’s main event, the promotion’s heavyweight champion, Daniel Gallemore, put his belt on the line against fellow Bellator veteran Daniel James. The 31-year-old Gallemore had won five of his last six fights, including back-to-back first-round finishes of Abe Wagner and Derek Bohi inside the Victory cage. James, meanwhile, made his promotional debut. Like the champion, James had tasted defeat just once in his last six appearances.
Also on the card, the promotion’s flyweight title was on the line between Kevin Gray and Nick Mamalis.
