SFC 3 - ALMOST SHOWTIME!
Full up to date Fight Card has been posted. French fighter Nicolas Joannes replaces the injured Carlos Prada to take on BJJ Blackbelt, Marcos Nardini, fighting out of the D-UNIT for the Dinky Ninja Fight Team. Joannes is no stranger to experienced grapplers so this looks like an exciting match up.
Artur Waiz (3-2-0), Team Arashi, Germany and Vincent Del Guerra (4-1-0) of France, are the replacements for the 4 man Welterweight tournament meaning a well balanced full international competition.
Front Row Balcony and Close to Ringside tickets are still available from EZ Sports in Stirling.
