Shofights 23 Report






October 27th Shofights put on their most recent event. The highlight was that most fights ended with some very nice submissions and there were some impressive fighters. Some fights did seem to be a bit of a mismatch although that can happen. The only really big negative was the ring announcer talked a little too much. He almost gave commentary after some of the fights and on one occasion was talking about a sponsor and didn't remember the name and was asking around ringside. All in all, it was a pretty satisfactory event outside of the one fight where the stream stopped working, which isn't their fault.
