Fight of the Week: Yodsanklai Fairtex vs. Chike Lindsay

Yodsanklai Fairtex and Chike Lindsay bring us the honors for the Fight of the Week this time around. The pair fought in July of 2013 at Lion Fight 10. The fight was for the inaugural Lion Fight Middleweight World Title, with Yodsanklai getting ready to defend the title on September 5th at Lion Fight 18, we figured why not show the fight that earned him his belt.

Yodsanklai entered the bout with Lindsay in the middle of a career resurgence. A little over a year before the fight many had rode him off as washed up but after six solid wins Yodsanklai was back in prime form. Lindsay was riding a five fight winning streak of his own entering the fight, including wins over Malaipet Sasiprapa, Christophe Pruvost and Thai legend Somluck Kamsing. Lindsay came out strong but in the second round the Yodsanklai turned up the pressure and put on a show for fans. Despite Lindsay coming up short he put on a great performance for fans, but in the end Yodsanklai was just too much.
