Fights of the February by Daniel Keeley

 

February gave us the EF 2 and UFC 24: Painkiller. The month featured many great fights. Guy Mezger took on Scott Bessac in a much spoken Main Event of UFC 24. Bessac sure hadn't earned his Main Event spot and that has made many fans angry. The Co-Main Event featured Sean Johnson fighting against Frank Shamrock.
