Two new promotions have sprang out of nowhere to shock the MMA world with legitimately stacked talent and surprisingly appealing line-ups:  Bitetti Combat in Brazil, set for September 12th, and the Shine Fights promotion.  The second endeavor of Shine Fights is kicking off tonight with a live streaming pay-per-view (www.shinefights.com) and many UFC, WEC, and MMA veterans serve as the potent ingredients for this solid card. Vale Tudo old-schooler Jorge "Macaco" Patino, past UFC competitors Roan Carneiro, Yves Edwards, and Junior Assuncao, former WEC'ers Micah Miller and Ryan Healy, Rio Heroes brawler Flavio Alvaro, and Pride Bushido and Dream stand-out Luiz Firmino make up the majority of well known fighters who will prove that a heavy pool of talent still lies outside of the UFC, Dream, and Strikeforce. For those who are only concerned with top 10 fighters battling for pivotal steps towards becoming the world champion, this event is not for you.  For the fans out there who still enjoy watching tremendous talent in the form of highly experienced and technical fighters from amazing camps who just love to fight, then tune in tonight and support Shine Fights 11.  The complete card is as follows: WW: Jorge Patino x Roan Carneiro LW: Yves Edwards x James Warfield LW: Luiz Firmino x Ryan Healy LW: Flavio Alvaro x Jean Silva FW: Micah Miller x Anthony Morrison  LW: Junior Assuncao x Pete Grimes MW: James Brasco x Herbert Goodman HW: Phil Friedman x Brian Fuery (video courtesy of MMAJunkie)
