James Irvin vs. Mike Crisman

James Irvin(15-8) will step back into the cage against Mike Crisman(8-19) on January 29th, following a loss to Brazilian Jorge Oliveira in his last fight.

Irvin has stayed active on the independent scene since fighting in the UFC, which is a bit of a surprise since he was oft-injured in recent years. Irvin is trying to string together some wins in order to earn his ticket back to the big show. He still has the knockout power that makes him a very dangerous fighter, but has struggled with the aforementioned injuries and a previous addiction to pain pills.
