Tomorrow night at 10pm Eastern time here in the U.S., live on AXS TV, is when Lion Fight 8 will go down. Lion Fight 8 is set to be a rather historic event for a number of reasons, namely that Yodsanklai Fairtex makes his American debut and Lion Fights are making their television debut as well. Muay Thai has been waiting for a big break like this for years now and who better than Lion Fights to do it?

The weigh-ins went down tonight and all fighters made weight* (except for Cody Moberly who was fined 25% of his purse). Results for the pro bouts are below;
