The last time we dropped the words ‘sleeper card’ in an article, Shine Fights decided to implode like that high school chemistry experiment that went horribly wrong in science club. The night-shift janitor still resents you for the mess you made, regardless of how many years it’s been. Rather than repeat our mistakes, from now on, we’re not going to use the words ‘sleeper card’ ever again. In fact, even if we could use the words ‘sleeper card’ to describe Shark Fights upcoming September 11th PPV event (which we aren’t), it wouldn’t be doing the promotion justice. There’s nothing sleeper about Keith Jarine vs. Trevor Prangley, Soukoudjou vs. Houston Alexander, Paul Daley vs. Jorge Masvidal, Joey Villasenor vs. Danillo Villafort, or Tarec Saffiedine vs. Brock Larson. Every last one of these fighters has put on electrifying fights in the past year, and they’re all in their prime. How these fighters aren’t signed to bigger promotions doesn’t bother Shark Fights one bit. What is important to them is that you see this promo and realize how amazing this card is going to be. It will be the best thing to come out of Amarillo, Texas since, well since ever really. [Source]
