 Hold on to your earmuffs, boys and girls, because SFL is about to melt the Ice Box! The Ice Box arena in St. Petersburg, with seating for over twelve thousand (!) people, will be the scene of the crimes for SFL 64: Eroglu vs Butcher II. This is a stacked card, with four titles and twenty lives on the line. Here is a sneak preview of what the night has to offer.
205 lb- Francois Faber (9-2, 3-2 SFL) vs RZ "Phantom Specialist" Silva (7-4-1) Silva will make his SFC debut against Faber, a Muay Thai fighter. Silva is a boxer, and both men have had many fights go the distance.
265+ lb- Marcus "Roadblock" Dantes (8-2, 7-2 SFL) vs Dark Thoughts (7-3, 1-2 SFL) Dantes lost his last fight in a bid for the title, and both of his losses come by way of submission. He takes on Thoughts, a ground and pound grappler who will look to hand Dantes his first TKO loss.
155 lb- Bradley "The Real Deal" Johnson (5-4, 1-3 SFL) vs "Lights Out" Stres Fleshou (7-3, 1-2 SFL) Both of these guys have had great careers, but have yet to impress at SFL. Johnson is a boxer with dynamite KO power, and Fleshou is a grappler, coming off of a loss in his title tilt.
205 lb- Red Project (4-1, 1-0 SFL) vs "El Rey" Luis Mendoza (8-3, 0-1 SFL) Project will look to stay undefeated in the SFL, taking on the former Wolf Palace champion, Mendoza. Both of these guys will be carefully watching the Callahan/Murray fight later in the evening.
170 lb- "Dynamite" Andrew Kehoe (6-2, 3-2 SFL) vs Ademar Mota (7-2) Kehoe will usher in SFL newcomer Mota. Kehoe is on three fight win streak, and knows how to keep the fight where he wants it. Mota, a Muay Thai fighter with KO power, will be looking to stay on his feet and deliver a big finish in his debut.
265 lb- "Nail In The Coffin" Jayavarman Wongkrachang (9-4, 0-1 SFL) vs Aleksanteri "The Siberian Bear" Karelin (13-5, 1-1 SFL) J.W. has vicious kicks and four wins by submission, and has never seen the third round in eleven contests. He takes on Karelin, the former Vigor champion who claims win over Mike Tyson, the current SFL Heavyweight Champ.
170 lb TITLE FIGHT- Okin "Wolf" Slavis (11-0, 2-0 SFL) vs Luiz Lindland (12-1) Lindland, the current Crucible 170 and 185 lb champ, is a boxer with Muay Thai training who loves to stand and bang. He is getting a title shot in his SFL debut, against Okin Slavis. Slavis has eight submission victories, four OtN awards, and is the former Wolf Palace, UPF and current undefeated, undisputed SFL 170 lb champion. This kicks off a series of explosive title fights.
265 lb TITLE FIGHT- "Iron" Mike Tyson (16-4, 13-3 SFL) vs "The Serial Killer" Kyle Stanley (10-1, 9-1 SFL) Last time these two fought, Tyson handed Stanley his first loss ever. Now Stanley is back for revenge. Tyson is a boxer with ten TKOs on his résumé, but he has won his last two fights by submission. Stanley is a well-rounded fighter with only one blemish on his record.
205 lb TITLE FIGHT- Harry "Dirty" Callahan (14-3, 3-0 SFL) vs "Lightning" Lee Murray (16-5, 12-3 SFL) Callahan will look to stay undefeated in the SFL and extend his title run. He has his work cut out for him, because standing in the way is "Lighning" Lee, who is released from a Siberian gulag by special order to fight in SFL. Murray, the former NWOcand three time SFL champion, is looking to get his title back.
155 lb TITLE FIGHT- Metin Eroglu (11-2, 5-0 SFL) vs "Philanthopist" Bobby Butcher (14-2, 6-1 SFL) Eroglu, the current SFL lightweight champ, is undefeated in SFL. Butcher could have said the same, had he not faced Eroglu. Now, Butcher has a chance to redeem himself, avenge his sole SFL loss, and take the title all in one fell swoop. Eroglu won't just lay down, though; he is the former Holmgang champion, the current SFL champion, is coming off of five straight TKO finishes (three of which were in round one), and is a four time FotN winner. This will definately be one for the highlight reels.
With all that action, what MMA fan wouldn't want to make the flight to St. Petersburg? An event like this is sure to pack The Ice Box, and the parking lot party outside would be worth the trip by itself. Don't miss out on any of the action, here at Siberian Fight League!
