Addressing the crowd at the MFN 12 Press Conference, MFN co-founder Ms. Ayesha Shroff promised an action-packed show on Saturday despite the last minute change to main event.

"Despite one of the most anticipated bouts not happening, it still presented an opportunity for us to put out female fighters as main event," she said.

"It will be the first-time an MFN card will be headlined be two female fighters and this showcases the future for our female fighters in India. MFN 12 will be a cracker of a show with some of the best fighters in action."

MFN co-founder Krishna Shroff also hyped up the fight card and said, "You can see a MMA show being led by two women will now have two female fighters leading a fight card.

"This is only possible because of the kind of growth that MFN has already seen over the past four years. MFN has become one of the biggest MMA promotions not just in India, but in the world - and that is only possible because of the skilled fighters that we have in our roster. We cannot wait to showcase what we have in store for you tomorrow."
