Valor Fights is taking over FloCombat for another live-streamed event on Saturday, June 4, with Valor Fights 34.

Going down inside Cookeville, Tennessee's Hyder-Burks Pavillion, the card features a stacked lineup with two amateur title fights, one of Tennessee's most entertaining fighters, a redemption match, and much more.

Here are four reasons to reserve a spot on your couch Saturday to get an up-close look at Valor Fights 34.

1. Sawyer Rich

We could probably go ahead and end the list right here. Sawyer Rich alone is worth the price of admission.

One of the region's most popular fighters, Rich is a true character in a sport of cookie-cutter athletes. Expect Rich to bring a rowdy and energetic crowd to support him, along with some outrageous antics.

As an amateur, Rich was 6-2. This Saturday, he'll make his pro debut against Dalton Fox, a brawler with a massive left hand. The crowd will either go crazy with joy, or they'll be silenced by Fox's sheer ferocity. That's why we watch.

2. Ashley Samples vs. Shannon Goughary

One of the most entertaining strawweights in the U.S., Samples has been showcasing her striking skills across the country since 2013. In seven career victories, she's notched five knockouts. You don't typically see that type of power from a 115-pound fighter, but Samples has proven time and again that she can shut the power off without warning.

She'll face Goughary for Valor Fights gold Saturday. Tune in to see if she can notch her sixth-straight victory via knockout.

3. A bout with some history…

The featherweight bout between Zack Hicks and Rahshun Ball is fun on the surface, but it gets even better when you consider the back story.

Hicks, a decorated amateur sporting a 2-1 pro record, is riding a two-fight winning streak largely earned with polished wrestling chops. But if he takes Ball to the ground, he may encounter some trouble. Ball trains out of Chapel Hill Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, and brings remarkable athleticism and a diverse ground attack to the cage.

That said, Ball hasn't fought since 2013, when he took out Hicks' friend and training partner Thomas Campbell at XFC 22.

Will Hicks avenge his friend's loss, or will Ball's wily submission game prove too much for him?

4. You just never know…

The unexpected thrives in regional MMA.

Crazy knockouts, wacky submissions, and rock-em, sock-em slugfests—it all tends to happen when hungry local fighters throw down. Kendrick Miree and Sid Wheeler set the bar for all future Valor Fights events at Valor Fights 33. Despite little hype, the two middleweights engaged in one of the most entertaining, back-and-forth scraps at any level of competition.

The next Fight of the Year candidate could emerge from the shadows at Valor Fights 34. While it may not receive mainstream recognition, you'll feel like a true MMA hipster when you flash your knowledge of a can't-miss tilt from Valor Fights 34 with your friends.

Go ahead: one-up them by catching all the action Saturday night, right here on FloCombat.
