Nice write-up Blim!

Aye, Good stuff man.

No offense intended to those in the write-up but seems like BW has taken a major nose dive lately. Just a few weeks ago it was the second strongest division.

I had a guy win a belt ranked in the 200's who's now back to dwelling in the bottom half of the division.

Not many bws

I have the champ and take no offense as has been fairly mediocre

Today on EFC Today we take a look at the top 10 fighters in the FW division, where SFL has a strong hold on the top 10, flanked by 3 unknown, possibly non-forum camps. The division is strong, with the bottom fighter in the top 10 at rank 50, and a strong newer champ from the Warriors UK camp.

A 12 year veteran and a wizard on the mat, it will take a strong contender to take the belt from Dillon Foster.
