On a night when the wider MMA world's attention was focused on WEC 43: Cerrone vs. Henderson (check out the recap at sherdog.com), fight fans in British Columbia's Southern Interior gathered in Vernon for eXtreme Fighting Challenge 8. There were several stand-out performances and some great finishes throughout the night, but unfortunately the main event had to be canceled at the last minute when one of the fighters was deemed unable to compete.
I'll post a detailed review later today, but here are the quick results:
