CHICAGO You could say Chris Charles made the most out of Columbia College’s Screenwriting II course. Not only did he ace the class he formed a partnership with his professor, Danny Kravitz, and they co-wrote the screenplay for the Liam Neeson movie “The Marksman.”
Neeson plays an Arizona rancher and former U.S. Marine who tries to get a boy (newcomer Jacob Perez) to safety in Chicago while being pursued by Mexican cartel assassins. The modern Western now available on digital platforms represents years of collaboration between Kravitz and Charles, who met in course No. 24-2710 in the spring of 2005.

Collin Huckbody (9-2) vs. Aaron Jeffery (9-2)

So is the case this week for Cage Fury Fighting Championships, which delivers CFFC 92 on Thursday and follows with CFFC 93 on Friday. The latter of these efforts includes a middleweight title tilt between champion Collin Huckbody and challenger Aaron Jeffery.
“Young Huck” enters on the strength of a six-fight winning streak. The 26-year-old made his pro debut in 2017 after a 6-1-1 amateur run and went just 3-2 through his first five appearances, including a decision loss to Bevon Lewis at Legacy Fighting Alliance 38. Huckbody found his groove in the second half of 2018 and kicked off his current streak with a decision nod over sub-.500 fighter Thomas Krenzel. He marched through 2019 by adding another decision victory and two submissions. T
