Resurrection Fighting Alliance has a nice little streak going, and Ed Soares probably wouldn’t complain if it continued after Friday night. Soares, RFA’s president and a longtime MMA manager, is in Milwaukee for his promotion’s latest show, RFA 8, which takes place Friday at The Rave. The main card airs live on AXS TV at 10 p.m. ET. With a main event between Sergio Pettis (7-0), the younger brother of UFC standout Anthony, and Dillard Pegg (5-1), Soares might be wondering if lightning might strike for a third time. “The headliner of RFA 6, James Krause , and the headliner of RFA 7, Brandon Thatch , now are both in the UFC,” Soares on Friday told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) from Milwaukee just hours ahead of RFA 8. Krause took a seven-fight win streak, including five straight in the RFA, into a short-notice UFC debut this past weekend at UFC 161 – where he took home a double bonus and an extra $100,000 for his submission of hard-to-finish Sam Stout
