Friday night, it looked like he was never gone.
Winners have to wait that long to return to competition.
Renton didn't take much time at all to stamp himself as one of the favorites at 8 tonight at the MetroCentre. Renton took about 30 seconds to knock out Greg Gerl of Machesney Park in his opening match. All competitors fought once on the first night. If Renton emerges victorious in the 20-fighter field, he said he plans to enter the Toughman Worlds. While Renton is trying to repeat what he's done, others returnees are trying to inch their way toward their first titles.
