Driller/SEG has a show scheduled for June 29 at the High Five Sports Bar in Burnsville. While that  fight card has been done for longer than a month, matchmakers Jeremy Bjornberg and Drew Studer already have a good chunk of their cards secured for their August and September shows, too.

Merkt's fight with Bill Friday in 2011 was the MNMMANEWS Fight of the Year. He's still considered to be the state's top 125-pound fighter, capable of bumping up to take out 135ers, too.

Merkt will get a rematch on the Myth card, taking on Tony Crowder at a catch weight of 130. Merkt beat Crowder by first-round submission in 2011.
