SFL 9 gets new Main Event, Vasily Klepikov vs. Goran Reljic scrapped

The Super Fight League has made a host of changes to its upcoming SFL 9 event, that’s slated for November 16th in Mumbai, India. The event takes place as part of the promotion’s ‘Friday Night Fight Nights’ initiative.

Despite the shuffles and what not, the SFL 9 fight card will still carry a total of 7 bouts.

SFL 9 and all future SFL events will be aired ‘LIVE’, here on MMASucka.com beginning at 8:30am PST/11:30am EST.

Vasily Klepikov vs. Goran Reljic was originally tapped and announced as the event’s featured attraction of the night. Now, however, SFL 9 will be headlined by a pair of Welterweights in Amr Wahman and Baz Muhammed.

Kapil Kumar was set to face Rajesh Sallan, but the latter fighter was replaced by Ifran Khan. This bout was also moved to the co-Main event slot.

Spaniard Irene Cabello was set face Manjit Kolekar in the only female match-up of the evening. But just like the main event, this bout was also scratched from the fight card and replaced by SFL Challengers veteran Gurleen Kaur, and Monika.

The only bouts that remained untouched were Santosh Kumar vs. Sachin Mahanta & Shyam Prasad vs. Rouhollah Eidehlouei.

Here’s the updated fight card for SFL 9:

  • Amr Wahman vs. Baz Muhammed
  • Kapil Kumar vs. Ifran Khan
  • Bhabajeet Chowdhury vs. Jamshed Khan
  • Satendar Bankura vs. Rajbir Singh
  • Gurleen Kaur vs. Monika
  • Santosh Kumar vs. Sachin Mahanta
  • Shyam Prasad vs. Rouhollah Eidehlouei
