Scottish Fight Challenge
Click here for the first batch of photos from the event!! Read on for pre event !
A full day seeing the final prep for the 10th of October showdown . Pro level Weigh inns are now complete and there is going to be some absolutely fantastic fights on this card. Two fighters Steven Ray and Marcos Nardini came in just over weight but with a little extra work sheed the necessary pounds to compete on tomorrows card. All the fighters were in good spirits and every one was looking in shape and ready to rumble. With fighters travelling from Sweden , France and Germany as well of a host of talented Scottish fighters the weigh inns went very smooth , testament to SFC management and organisational skills. Of special note was fighter Ally McCraes underwear (pics below).
For the main event we have Paul Reed vs John Cullen for the SFC Featherweight belt. Reed is looking for a quick win via ground and pound or submission ,Cullen on the other hand is looking for a KO with his exceptional Mauy thai skills, this is sure to be a barn burner of a head liner.
