These 7 fights prove that AFN 8 is the promotion’s best card yet!

When Najib Adams was forced to pull out of his fight against Mehdi Abadli, AFN 8 lost some of its attraction. The skilled and charismatic Adams is a widely popular fighter in Sweden and was set to make his pro debut.

However, when Norway’s Arlind Berisha (2-0) stepped in to take the fight against Halmstad’s Mehdi Abadli (0-1), I think the card got even more interesting.

Berisha is an absolute savage with enormous potential. The young and athletic light heavyweight could be a couple of finishes away from a spot in Dana White’s Contender Series.

If the tough Abadli can stop Berisha, it would surely be a feather in his cap.
