The American Mixed Martial Arts Fight League is rapidly becoming one of Pennsylvania's biggest and best MMA promotions. Their previous three outings showed that the promoters left fans very satisfied, as each event was bigger than the last. Now, this Friday, February 17, the AMMAFL is back with Fight Night 4, which takes place once again at the Newtown Athletic Club, 209 Penns Trail Road, Newtwon, PA.
Promoters Jim McCann and Patrick Byrne are always looking for innovative ways to improve the Fight Night series, and this time they are offering ticket holders free food to go all with all the great action.
"On our general admission tickets, all food and beverages are included," Byrne explained. "We'll have hot dogs, chicken fingers, nachos, pretzels and soft drinks. Those tickets are priced at 50 dollars. We also have youth tickets, for people 20 and under, and those go for 35 dollars, with food and beverages included. As for our VIP tickets, we're going to have an area roped off, and have servers bringing the food and beverages. They won't even need to leave their seats."
Despite all the great food, the real meat and potatoes of the show will be the live action inside the cage. The matchmaking at the AMMAFL is extraordinary, and each fight is very carefully thought out. This time around, there are 9 amateur fights on the card, as well as two professional bouts. And, for the first time ever, the AMMAFL will showcase females in the cage.
"We're excited to be putting on our first female fight on this card," Byrne said. "Jamie Diver vs. Kasey Matthews. They are fighting at 145 pounds and both girls are ready to go."
The professional fights are excellent match ups as well.
"In our co-main event, we have Elder Ramos, who is a wrestling champion, taking on Ricky Rainey," Byrne said. "Both guys are really good, and this should be a great match. Then in the main event, it's going to feature undefeated Chris Dempsey taking on Eddie Hardison. That will be an amazing fight."
As has been the history with the AMMAFL, all the fighters on the card come from excellent camps.
"We've lined up many great camps for this card," Byrned explained. "We've got McCann's XFS MMA school, Hamilton Martial Arts, Jim Wing's MMA, Diamond's MMA, Shaddock MMA, Renzo Gracie's, Modern MMA, Martinez BJJ and the list goes on. We've lined up a lot of great schools, with the best amateur fighters fighting out of them."
With that kind of talent, it appears that McCann and Byrne are going to have yet another hit on their hands this Friday night. For ticket info, check out the AMMAFL website at www.AmericanMixedMartialArtsFightLeague.com.
