(Mumbai - 24th October) 14 fights, 12 stoppages and millions of new fans later, SFL is set to end the first month of the Friday Night Fights series with a bang by showcasing four top international fighters at SFL 6 on October 26th, once again live and free to watch on YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/sfl.
SFL 5: Recap SFL 5 was a night of submissions, with five of the shows seven fights ending via choke. The shows headliner - rising star Lakwinder Singh Sekhon - lived up to his nickname 'Lightning' by choking out his opponent in just 71 seconds but not before coming under some heavy fire himself. Sekhon stays undefeated with all wins coming via way of stoppage. Meanwhile the women's SFL Challengers champion Manjit Kolekar began her journey in MMA with an impressive second round TKO win against former rival Ritika Singh.
After the impressive knockouts of SFL 4, slick and dangerous grappling skills were showcased in SFL 5, highlighting the ever evolving ground game of India's elite fighters.
SFL COO Dan Isaac said of SFL 5 "Supreet Bedi [SFL TV host] summed it up perfectly when she said , 'If you can surprise the COO and matchmaker of the SFL you're doing something right'. These two shows have been just the tip of the ice-berg , we have 'never heard of' talent being signed up almost every week. The SFL training camp is full to capacity and the next few shows are going to wake everyone up to Indian MMA."
