sorry for the delay in between fight result postings I had the card pretty much done at the start of the weekend but it was Thanksgiving here in Canada so it was kind of a busy time....the womens stuff will be up soon.

[HomicideHenry]

hope your Thanksgiving was grand

[armageto]

Not the way Jeffries wanted to win a strap, but he's had some odd losses and wins now. Thanks to Charles for the shot and open to the idea of a rematch when he wants it, if we still have the belt at that time.

I thought Huck edged a close fight.

Happy Thanksgiving Fist........

[DrDuke]

I thought Huck edged a close fight.

Me too. We need a trilogy!

[Fist of Legend]

Norris fought pretty damn good, he just couldn't stay on his feet...slippery canvas, Ali must've had special grip on his shoes.
