After Betzold lost his limb at the age of 6 (when a psychotic co-worker of his father’s poisoned him), he became an übermensch who specializes in pawning fools with his fighting prowess. His next opponent is Ken Davis, who he’ll battle during Rage in the Cage 135. The card also includes 20 other scheduled smackdowns, including Matt Dell versus Ray Robinson for the RITC Featherweight Championship.
