If you like the big guys, we have plenty of heavyweight and super-heavyweight fights. If you like seeing the UFC and Bellator names, we have them. If you like wrestlers, they are well represented on this card. If you like women’s MMA, we have a women’s fight on here. $25 tickets to a fight card of this caliber is a steal for the fight fan.

He has competed a total of nine times on the biggest stages the sport has to offer.

 

“Disse tre kamper på toppen av dette kortet er verdt inngangsbilletten alene,” said NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “All three of those fights are main events on any regional MMA event held on the east coast any night of the week. And we’re giving them all to the fans in one awesome night of MMA action for one low price of admission.
