Saturday February's 12th Lion Fight Promotions inaugural event "Battle in the Desert" will take place at Buffalo Bill's Casino in Primm, NV. There are several interesting pro Muay Thai bouts taking place, and Muay Thai Authority will be there to cover the action. Below are our picks for the pro fights that will take place this Saturday.
Malaipet vs. Michael Mananquil (Welterweight Title Bout)
This re-match is happening awful quick, it was just last July that Malaipet walked away with a split decision over Mananquil. Since then Malaipet has lost two consecutive fights, one a high profile bout with American Kevin Ross. Mananquil dropped a decision in the first round of the WKN Belarus tournament, and a later bout with Gilmar China Sales which was set to take place at War of the Heroes 8 in November was scrapped at the last minute.
