India’s first major mixed martial arts promotion held it’s inaugural event today in Mumbai, India. The promotion streamed the event live on Youtube this morning (Sunday, March 11, 2012) from the Andheri Sports Complex in Mumbai.
The production had a pro-wrestling feel to it with all of the music and lights. Inside the cage, the SFL promotion brought in a few known personalities, even going so far as to bring in referee Herb Dean from the U.S. Overall, the event, minus the ring announcer, was entertaining in itself culminating in the super-heavyweight main event bout between PRIDE vets Bob Sapp and James Thompson, ending in a predictable result.
