The night is also a dream come true for Linconville native Tim "The Barbarian" Boetsch who will fight for the first time in his home state. The Camden-Hills High School grad is part of the co-main event that pits him against Brad Tavarez. The other main event fight has Ryan "Darth" Bader facing Ovince Saint Preux.
