Loiseau vs. Santos at HCF in March?

In a recent interview with Sherdog.com, Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos stated that he’ll be fighting David “The Crow” Loiseau at HCF: Crow’s Nest.

Santos: I’ll face Makoto Takimoto , who defeated Murilo Bustamante last year. I’m focused on this fight in Canada, but on March 5, I will fight against him. And March 29, I will fight in Canada again, facing David Loiseau. I have a lot of will to fight. I have eight fights signed; I’m starting this year with a full schedule. I love to fight, to feel the adrenaline backstage, to be in touch with the crowd. I miss it all when I’m not fighting.

Originally when Loiseau first signed with HCF, it was announced that he would be fighting UFC veteran Solomon Hutcherson. Santos, a veteran of PRIDE Fighting Championship, boasts victories over the likes of Yosuke Nishijima, Mark Epstein, Kassim Annan, and Francis Carmont. Santos has also stepped into the ring with the likes of Kazuhiro Nakamura, Melvin Manhoef, Yuki Kondo, Mauricio Rua, and Antony Rea though in a losing effort. For those of you who haven’t seen Santos vs. Manhoef, go watch it!

HCF: Crow’s Nest is scheduled for March 29, 2008 at the Robert Guertin Arena in Gatineau, Quebec. Check out our rumors section for the latest HCF: Crow’s Nest card.
