Lion Fight, North America’s leading muay Thai promotion, returns with another night of action Friday inside Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, R.I. The event will be televised live on AXS TV beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, with the fireworks culminating with “Smokin” Jo Nattawut defending his super welterweight title against Kengsiam Nor Sripueng.
The original co-main event between defending lightweight champ Antonina Shevchenko, the older sister of UFC featherweight contender Valentina Shevchenko, and Magali Foroni was scrapped. Foroni failed to get the necessary medicals in time for the weigh-ins and was pulled from the card, according to a Lion Fight official.
