Aina confident ahead of Strikeforce Challengers

Mike Aina is confident ahead of his Strikeforce Challengers fight against Billy Evangelista tonight.

The fight will be shown live on Showtime and Strikeforce will use it to allow up-and-coming MMA fighters to prove themselves.

“Evangelista has a great record, but there are holes in every fighter’s game. I’ve watched tape on him and he is definitely vulnerable to some things,” Aina said.

“I really hope they don’t think I am a stepping stone because they are in for a big surprise if they do. I plan to spoil his homecoming and win one for all my fans in my hometown in Hawaii, who have always been there and supported me. They are with me each and every time I step into the cage.

“This is obviously a big fight and the opportunity is great. This is why you train all those years — to be able to fight in the main event on SHOWTIME. It doesn’t get bigger than that.”
