Driller Promotions and the Sterling Entertainment Group were back on Saturday night, this time in a new venue: High Five Bar & Grill in Burnsville, MN for “Lockout.”

The event featured 10 professional and amateur bouts, including two women’s fights and a main event between Bellator veteran Matt Veal and “Captain” Morgan Sickinger, two of the area’s most entertaining fighters. 

Veal was coming off of a tough loss at May’s Bellator 67 when he suffered a TKO at the hands (and knees) of Will Romero and was looking to get back in the column against a game opponent back in the Midwest. 

Also on the card was local favorite Ben “The Baker” Neumann who had suffered back-to-back losses coming into the night, but was widely considered one of the top prospects in the state earlier this year. The 26-year-old also needed a big win to get back on track.
