MMA Stalker is officially on the scene at Empire Championship Series: Rise of the Champions, making our debut coverage of this fast-rising promotion. This is Empire’s second event, and from what we saw at weigh-ins, the energy is anything but amateur.
Fighters from across the Southwest hit the scale today, including a few familiar faces from Arizona we’ve covered before. And with three title fights on the main card, the stage is set for an explosive night at the Pan American Center in Las Cruces.
Stay tuned for full fight galleries, results, and highlight recaps — but first, here’s a look at today’s weigh-in action.
