...and it went great. It was the first MMA event in our city and the response was overwhelming, tickets sold out two days in advance. I personally had to tell probably fifty people who came by the school that we were sold out, whcih means we probably had to turn away as many people as we let in. Still, we brought in as many chairs as we could to and attempted to let everyone we could safely and legally allow into the civic center to come enjoy the festivities. I worked as ring security/cage locker/assistant state boxing commission pacifier, and it was an incredibly stressful yet satisfying job. Of our five fighters competing, four won by TKO, ref stoppage due to strikes. The other fighter was ahead on points but got caught in a well executed triangle/armbar. We're incredibly proud of all of our guys.

The main event featured Steven "Sharpshooter" Williams, a Renzo Gracie BJJ Blackbelt from the Bronx, New York, vs. Anselmo Martinez of Eagle's Nest Martial Arts out Lubbock. Despite a strong third round by Anselmo, Steven won a decision. Both fought a great fight.
