The Indian based Super Fight League promotion held their third event today (May 6, 2012), streaming the live show on Youtube for free from the IGI Stadium in New Delhi, India.

SFL brought in Phil Baroni to act as part of the color commenting team for the live event. It was certainly interesting having him run around in a leather jacket and no shirt during the show.

The event was headlined by a heavyweight bout between former WWE star Bobby Lashley and traveled veteran James Thompson.

The two fighters would go the distance in their three round match, with most of the exciting action taking place in the first and second round of the fight. Into the second, and more so in the third, both fighters would begin to gas out. The only reprieve for the fighters would have would come in the third after Thompson landed an illegal knee, for which Lashley used all five minutes to recover. In the end the judges would give it to Thompson by a score of 29-28 across the board.

As well as featuring several Indian fighters, there were a few recognizable names such as former WEC champ Doug ‘the Rhino’ Marshall and Trevor Prangley.

Trevor Prangley V Baga Agaev (LH)
27 year old Russian submission specialist Baga Agaev has vowed to win in ‘spectacular fashion’ as he takes on Trevor Prangley in what promises to be a technical battle between these two seasoned fighters. Having held the belts for Strikeforce, MFC, Shark Fights, and Bodog, two time All American College Wrestler and South African National Champion Prangley can not afford to underestimate the dangerous Russian prospect who boasts a 3-1 record against UFC vets.

Alexander Shlemenko Beats Ikuhisa Minowa For Eighth Straight Victory, Wants To “Kill” Hector Lombard Next

Russian middleweight Alexander ‘Storm’ Shlemenko (45-7) is a man on a mission, he is itching for a rematch with Bellator champ Hector Lombard after their first meeting back in October 2010 at Bellator 34 where Lombard defeated ‘Storm’ by decision. Shlemenko is still waiting for that fight to happen so in the meantime he is taking his frustrations out on various opponents around the world.

Currently his latest victim was Japanese fighter, and former Super Hulk tournament winner, Ikuhisa Minowa. The two met at the Super Fight League 2 card in India today (April 7, 2012), with Shlemenko picking up his eighth straight win after stopping ‘Minowaman’ by first round TKO.

When asked to comment on the win ‘Storm’ had four words to say, “Hector, I kill you.”

Hopefully Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney can work something out with Hector so ‘Storm’ can get his wish.
