James Warfield (15-3) is stepping in on short notice to fight Yves Edwards (34-15-1) at “Shine Fight II: American Top Team vs. The World”.  Edwards was originally supposed to fight Mario Stapel, but Stapel had to withdraw from the contest to deal with personal matters.

Warfield is currently on a four-fight win streak and is 14-1 in his last fifteen fights.  Of his fifteen victories, fourteen have come by way of (technical) knock out.  Warfield has never gone the distance and has only seen the second round five times.
