Can someone get a real body in there for Billy Evangelista? He beat Ryan Healy in his pro debut and he’s actually never seen an real increase in the level of competition since. That’s an incredible fact.

that would cost money

Spiritwolf is a surprisingly tough customer compared to his record. Never an easy out.

I know very well who he is. I stand by the fact that he isn’t as good a fighter as Ryan Healy. Hell, he’s not as good as Evangelista’s last opponent. I just have no idea what it is that Evangelista is supposed to learn here in a fight like this.

Julia Budd looks pretty hot in that photo...

…that’s about the best thing I can think to say about this card

She’s not at all attractive

this card will get no attention and be forgotten really quickly because of....

Bellator’s great Huerta fight on Thursday and UFC 121 huge event on Saturday.

well...

Those are both big events, but I there are a few fighters in this that I have my eye on – namely Lavar and Bowling. Both have impressed me a lot and if they (or others) really perform well I think I’ll be talking about it for a while.

Tuning in for Evangelista.

Would love to see him get off these challengers cards already, sheesh.

Not exactly the most inspired SFCS card, but the fights are pretty competitive on paper. With a win, I think Bowling, Evangelista and Johnson will all be moved up to fights where they are taking on bigger names than themselves.

Don’t sleep on Virgil, pretty good prospect me thinks.

I like these cards

SF does a good job with their Challengers series – gives me a chance to see people who we might be talking about on the big stage in a year or two. I especially like Johnson and Bowling. Evangelista is solid too, so I think this is an underrated card with the potential to offer up some great fights. Not to mention that its free.

That’s a terrible pic of Shana Olsen btw. She’s way hotter in person. Seen her fight a couple times, she’s not the most technically skilled fighter, but she can scrap, and she’s got tons of potential. WAR Shana!
