PHOENIX, Ariz. – The Fighters didn't get the outcome they wanted in Arizona Saturday evening as the host Rattlers controlled most of the contest's final three quarters en route to a 55-38 Fighters loss.

In a spirited Footprint Center, Arizona quarterback Drew Powell and the home team pulled away after trading blows with Malik Henry and the Fighters in the opening stanza.

Down two touchdowns after the second quarter, the Fighters faced their largest intermission deficit of the season.

Next weekend the Fighters play at home in the first round of the 2021 IFL Playoffs.

More to come.
