2013 in SFL numbered events

2013 is the second year for Super Fight League, an Indian-based mixed martial arts (MMA) league. Whilst the SFL began holding events from 22 February with their SFL Contenders event, which are untelevised events that take place in the SFL Training Centre as a way to build up the fighters before bringing forward to a television audience, the promotion made their televised return with SFL 14 on 29 March, which was headlined by two title fights between Xavier Foupa-Pokam and John Troyer for the middleweight title, and Sanja Sucevic and Colleen Schneider for the women's flyweight title. The same event was also their first on ESPN Star Sports in India. ^[1]
