Two final lineup changes have led to the additions of U.S.-based MMA prospects Ryan Sturdy and Liron Wilson to Friday’s M-1 Challenge event in Kansas City, Kansas.But in an intriguing turn of events, neither Sturdy or Wilson will be representing Team USA East when it faces Team Finland during the night’s headlining best-of-five challenge matchup.

Instead, Sturdy and Wilson will be representing the World Team and Team Turkey, respectively.

The need for the World Team and Turkey to enlist the help of U.S.-based fighters was created after late changes were made to each team’s roster.
