The Valor Hour: Case Looper & Valor Fights 52 Recap

This week on The Valor Hour presented by O.E.B Law, Valor Fights President Tim Loy is joined by Mark Laws and fight judge Justin Watson to recap the Valor Fights 52 card at The Shed in Maryville, TN last Friday night. Watson was also a judge for the event so he provides an interesting perspective on what went down.
The guys open the show looking forward to this weekend’s UFC Fight Night 135 at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska. They preview the lightweight main event between Justin Gaethje and James Vick as well as the featherweight bout between Andre Fili and Michael Johnson.
Case Looper, fresh off his win at Valor Fights 52 over Andrew Sturdivant by split decision, talks about the last minute change to his fight and the changes he went through cutting weight and then putting some back on, getting into MMA after high school, being nervous about fighting Sturdivant, originally thinking he lost the fight, and more.
