Extreme Fight Challenge 3: Complete Results

Well, now we know why it's called the "Extreme" Fight Challenge.  Hani Darwish's Extreme Fight Club's Extreme Fight Challenge certainly lived up to its billing at last night's show in Paterson, New Jersey.  Each and every fight was extraordinary and...extreme.  The sell out crowd was wild in its enthusiasm, and I had a blast doing the ring announcing.

In addition to the fantastic action in the cage, the venue was filled with MMA VIPs.  Four-time UFC Fight of the Night winner Kurt Pellegrino was on hand cornering fighters.  Andy "The Main Event" Main from the UFC TUF house was there as well.  We also had the only Brazilian fighter to ever beat Anderson Silva, Luiz Azeredo, there with the Gold Team fighters.  In addition there were many local fighters who fight professionally at Bellator, M-1 Global, Lou Neglia's Ring of Combat and other top promotions.  We even had legendary no-holds-barred fighter Carmine Zocchi in the house. And of course the event was presided over by the Man himself, Mr. Nick Lembo.

The Darwish brothers, Hani and Wally, put on a great show and I am already looking forward to their next outing in May.  Come on down!
