The first ever large scale MMA event in MMA was much better than I had expected. Sure there were bollywood elements to the show, but overall it was pretty good. There was a large number of Bollywood actors in attendance, but due to my age I could only recognize, Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Shetty, and Shilpa Shetty.
Spoiler Alert: Fighters showed a lot of heart and determination except Bob "the tap" Sapp, who tapped after being taken down by Thompson with a double leg takedown. Professor X defeated Joey Guel by TKO due to cuts. Jimmy Ambriz overwhelmed Satish Jha and won by TKO in 14 seconds! The most impressive fights of the night were between Sanja Sucevic and Lena Ovchynnikova and Mohd Shahid and Mayura Dissanayake. Lena was dominating Sanja with her judo and a pretty good ground game with several arm bar attempts, but Sanja perservered and got a rear naked choke of her own to win the fight. They got the submission of the night bonus. On the other hand, Shahid and Mayura had a back and forth battle. Shahid managed to take Mayura down and rough him up with some elbows. Mayura came out in the third round like a madman and won the round by tagging Shahid and wobbling him, but was too tired to finish him!
I will be watching SFL 2 and other shows for sure. Thanks Raj Kundra and Sanjay Dutt!
