    Crutchmer's third MMA bout slated for Saturday

    Kyle Crutchmer, 2017 NCAA All-American wrestler for Oklahoma State, is slated to have his third professional mixed martial arts fight this Saturday, just three months after making his pro debut.

    Crutchmer will be facing Brandon Wright at XFN 352 on Sept. 29 at River Spirit Casino Resort in Tulsa, Okla. The Crutchmer-Wright welterweight (170-pound) bout is one of four fights which will be available on UFC Fight Pass live streaming service.

    Here's what Crutchmer posted on his Facebook page:

    "September 29th I'm coming to Tulsa Oklahoma to get down for the 3rd time in 3 months ! Don't miss out! I am ready to put on another performance for you guys!! TULSA ALWAYS!! #letsgooo"

    Crutchmer made is pro MMA debut June 9 at XFN 348, where he dispatched Ronald Beasley with a guillotine choke at 1:03 of Round 1. Two months later, the former Cowboy defeated Rock Rosas with an arm-triangle choke in the second round.

    Wright launched his MMA career as an amateur in Dec. 2015, turning pro in June 2016. He is 2-3 in his professional career, having lost his most recent fight June 16 to Jared McLaughlin via second-round submission.

    "I'm still new to this sport, I'm not going to go out there and predicting first round knockouts and all that s---.," Crutchmer told MyMMANews.com . "I just want people to enjoy watching me fight."

    Despite seemingly being on a fast-track MMA career, the former Oklahoma State mat star appears to be taking things in stride... despite having definite career goals.

    "I think what's happened is we have a plan," said Crutchmer. "I don't know if I'll ever be in Bellator, I don't know if I'll ever be in the UFC, but right now I am aiming to try and make it to the UFC. I think that's what our plan is with my management team.

    "Still open option, no close doors, I'm still early in my career. It just depends on how everything plays out in the next couple months."
