Callan Potter is still the Valor welterweight champion after stopping David Butt last night in the Valor 7 main event. The decisive win came in the second round for the Melbourne based fighter with a head-kick knockout.
Potter (pictured), who remains unbeaten in the promotion with 4 wins and no losses, is now also undefeated in his last 6 outings.
Former professional boxer Steven Maxwell made it 2 consecutive wins under MMA rules with a majority points decision win over Chris Drummond in the co-headliner. The clash was awarded Fight of the Night.
In other results from the night, Shaun Etchell scored a TKO victory over Henry Pollock, Shaw Dean submitted Nick Rundle and Christina Tatnell stopped late replacement Helen Malone to make it 4 wins on the trot.
