Thanks for the update. This is also missing in the “Upcoming Event” section on you right side of this page.
TC,
We don’t usually include the Challengers events on the “upcoming events” nor do we include Dream and Sengoku events, but they are on our Rumors page.
It’s good to see the ladies get to headline a card. This looks like a good card.
Scott Coker said he was determined to make women’s MMA a priority sometime back, and the man has proven as good as his word.
That speaks volumes to his character IMO…
