Warfare 18 comes live to FloCombat on Saturday, March 10, bringing a hot-fire main event showdown between heavyweight juggernauts with it. 

Ben Rowland (4-0, four knockouts) takes on former NFL defensive end Austen Lane (3-0, three knockouts) in the night's featured bout in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and somebody is going to sleep in this one. Book it.

A former Jacksonville Jaguar, Kansas City Chief, and Chicago Bear, Lane brings an abundance of athleticism and raw power to the cage, earning him eight victories (pro/amateur combined) since he began his MMA career in November 2015. 

Ridiculous.

While his five straight amateur knockouts are impressive, his pro career might be even better thus far. 

Lane hasn't been out of the first round as a pro, notching one victory in 14 seconds, one in 20 seconds, and one in 1:39.

Put simply: Lane is a monster. His ceiling is high, and he's just getting started in his MMA career. 

...But then there's Ben Rowland.

Lane's opponent is perhaps equally terrifying. At 4-0, Rowland boasts one more pro fight than Lane, but all his opponents suffered the same fate. 

In four fights, Rowland's notched four first-round knockouts, the longest lasting 3:16.  

Rowland is a belt collector. He's the Valor Fights, Premier MMA Championship, and Warrior FC heavyweight champion, and now he's making a run in the Warfare cage — but he'll need to get through the powerhouse Lane to earn that opportunity. 

Can he wipe out his toughest test to date or will Lane's star potential continue to skyrocket?

The Next Big Thing?

While the main event between Lane and Rowland is unquestionably a can't-miss throwdown, Warfare 18 brings plenty of depth to the table as well. 

Three South Carolina state titles will be on the line, as some of the area's hottest up-and-coming talents battle it out for gold. 

Along with Devin Nguyen taking on Kim A for the flyweight strap, Wes Evans faces Nathen Arriaga in the lightweight division and Ferdinand Goke faces Tony Rogers for the featherweight belt.

On the regional circuit, snagging an amateur title oftentimes means a fighter is ready to jump to the pro ranks and make a real run at the UFCs and the Bellators of the world. 

Who will seize that opportunity Saturday and put his name on the map with a title fight victory?
