MMA in Pennsylvania is thriving, and the reason for that is promotions like the American Mixed Martial Arts Fight League.  The AMMAFL is owned by Jim McCann, who is a fighter himself, and as such has keen insights into the game that other promoters lack.  His matchmaking is excellent, and the last show, Fight Night 3, was a wild affair.  The crowd was as spent as the fighters, who left it all in the cage, and everyone went home satisfied.

Fight Night 4 is scheduled for February 17 and promises to be even bigger and better than Fight Night 3.  I am pumped to be ring announcing this event, and I can tell you that Jim knows how to treat the fighters, staff and especially the fans.  If you live in the South Jersey, or Philly area, this is a must see show.

Asylum Fight League's year end finale took place last Saturday night, and the fights were, as usual, insane.  We saw knockouts, submissions and close decisions and the fans all left with their voices hoarse from cheering on their favorite fighters.

In the pro bouts, Shedrick "Chocolate Thunder" Goodridge lived up to his nickname by coming out bombing.  He landed a quick one-two on James Frier that put Frier down.  Then Goodridge rained down punches, but Frier was able to tie up and work his ground game. Both men showed great skill on the ground, and after the early barrage, Frier was able to get some good positions on Shedrick.  By the end of the fight, however, Goodridge was coming on strong and he won a unanimous decision.  It was a great fight that had the fans screaming for more.

In the final bout of the evening, Pat Dwyer took on Brian Pohlmeyer and dominated.  Pohlmeyer showed great toughness and amazing sub defense to last out the fight, but Dwyer was in command throughout and won a unanimous decision.  Pat Dwyer is now 2-0 and he's somebody to keep your eye on.

Tonight is the night!  The Asylum Fight League returns to the Asylum Arena in South Philly for the year ending MMA Spectacular. This is the 36th show for the Carl Mascarenhas and the Asylum Fight League team, of which I am a proud member.  I can't wait to step into the cage tonight, because I know that the fighters are going to be going all out, as they always do at Asylum shows.

The card is stacked as always, and the production will be top notch.  If you have never seen an Asylum show live, you should really try to make it down to South Philly for the event. You can even treat yourself to a Philly cheese steak afterwards.

Here's a complete description of tonight's fights:
