Your weekly update on how big-show veterans are faring on the world's regional circuits.
A week packed with UFC events has been accompanied by a hefty dose of big-name action on the regional circuit, with talent hailing from Strikeforce, Bellator, PRIDE, Dream, and of course the inimitable Octagon all fighting their way up the comeback trail.
Things got started this week in Minnesota where, in the main event of Friday's Legacy FC 43, powerhouse Brock Larson (41-10, 3-3 UFC, 4-1 WEC) faced Derrick Krantz (17-8, 1-1 Bellator) for the promotion's vacant welterweight title.
