K-OZ Entertainment Bragging Rights 6 Results

(PRESS RELEASE) – Perth, Australia (July 31, 2013) The cold rainy weather on Saturday July 27th didn't stop Perth, WA fans from attending Bragging Rights 6 at Kingsway Indoor Stadium.

The fights still excited the crowd with only 2 out of 9 fights going to decision, 2 by KO and 5 Submissions.
