Durden Defends His Title in a Brutal Bar Fight
COLLEGE STATION, TX - The rematch between Lions Pride Sports Champion DRAKE DURDEN and “OUTLAW” J. AUSTIN proved to be as hard-hitting as the Texas bar fight stipulation foretold, and when it was all said and done at our Unbreakable event, the seven-foot title holder retained the belt.
The giant and the brawler brutalized each other with their strikes and kicks, but of course, the most noteworthy hits came with all sorts of items around and under the ring, including a trash can and Austin’s trademark cowbell. “Outlaw” even pulled the crutch from a fan, struck the man on his injured knee, then cracked the crutch over Durden.
The final blow, as it often is for Durden, was a chokeslam. However, Austin’s trip through a pair of chairs on the way down was the icing on Durden’s championship cake. What kind of condition will he be in heading into the next Lions Pride Sports event, Lights Out on August 14?
