COLUMBUS, Ohio – Roger Bowling has earned Ohio bragging rights.
In a bout that was a late addition to the card, Bowling topped promotional newcomer and fellow Ohio-based welterweight Brandon Saling with a dominant ground game that led to a second-round TKO victory.
The preliminary-card fight was part “Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey” at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. It aired on Showime Extreme prior to the Showtime-televised main card.
