|  RFA 4 Update: Efrain Escudero-Tyson Griffin Named New Nov. 2 Headliner
RFA 4 Update: Efrain Escudero-Tyson Griffin Named New Nov. 2 Headliner Quote:
Former UFC talents Efrain Escudero and Tyson Griffin will headline the Resurrection Fighting Alliance’s upcoming fourth event.
Promotion officials recently announced the lightweight bout will serve as the RFA 4 headliner after Gilbert Yvel, who was supposed to face Marcio Cruz in the evening’s main event, withdrew from the show. Cruz will remain on the bill, now locking horns with Joe Yager on the main card. RFA 4 takes place Nov. 2 at Texas Station in Las Vegas and marks the Nebraska-based promotion’s first trip to Sin City. The show is expected to air live on AXS TV.
In the evening’s co-main event, welterweight prospect Chidi Njokuani will face “Filthy” Phil Dace, while Fredson Paixao meets Lance Palmer in a featherweight pairing that came about after original opponents Alessandro Ferreira and Nick Macias were scratched from the card due to injury.

Sergio Pettis is also on this card as well I believe. Good looking card tonight. Like Chidi and Palmer.

I hope Tyson can get back on track. His fights with Guida and Frankie are some of my favorites to have ever watched. He's got all the tools, just never came together. I think a change of camp would be good for him, if he's still primarily located out of Xtreme Couture.

Two former future UFC LW title contenders. Should be a good match.

Sergio looked very good as well. His face does not seem able to hold up to much damage and could mean some stoppages in that could be wins for him.

And you're bang on, his face looked wrecked after the fight, but I think that has alot to do with the fact that he was just eating jabs all night.
Cruz's sub was sick as hell, even though it was one of the dullest fights of the night until that point...
