Lion Fight Promotions recently kicked off 2012 with their biggest card to date live on AXS TV and will be doing so again on March 15 in Las Vegas. Today on Inside MMA, some of the fights for that card were revealed, including a big main event.

As previously rumored, Simon Marcus and Artem Levin will finally meet in a battle of two of the best Muay Thai fighters at their respective weight. This is a very big fight, especially since it's been cancelled three times already. Lion Fight has created a Lion Fight Light Heavyweight title for the winner. 

After the main event are some of Lion Fight's usual competitors, which also happen to be some of the best American Muay Thai fighters. After a big stoppage win over Alexis Rufus at Lion Fight 8 on January 26, Tiffany van Soest is back, and faces Natalie Yip.

Also back on Lion Fight will be Joe Schilling for the first time since his loss to Eddie Walker last year. Schilling will fight Edwin Aguilar.

Last but definitely not least, Kevin Ross will be in his second fight back from his ACL injury. He'll face Bernie Mendieta.
