A capacity crowd of over 1100 was on hand for the action.

The ringside physician stopped the bout in the first round when a cut on Penn’s forehead could not be closed.

But not NEF. We have been the trendsetter for the way in which we promote our fighters ever since we arrived on the scene in 2012. And it shows in the numbers we have done, and continue to do, at the box office.”

“We have competitors flying in from all over the country for ‘Stomborn,'” nói NEF đồng sở hữu và người mai mối Matt Peterson. “With four title fights, three women’s fights, decorated wrestlers and all colors of the BJJ belt spectrum represented, it’s no wonder this show sold out early.

If you were sleeping and missed out on this one, don’t wait on getting your tickets early for June 22nd when we go back to the Colisee to celebrate all things America. Tickets go on sale tomorrow!"
