imagine this ...
... in here, the Grand Ballroom at Wisehaven.
Last week I reported that an MMA event will be held in York in April ... and that's still true. There's just been some new developments, most of them good.
Mark Jovich, head trainer at Central Pennsylvania Martial Arts Academy in New Cumberland, told me that when he delivered all of his paperwork for the April 25 event he was planning, he found out a much larger promotion, one that has a TV deal, also wanted that day. And although Mark had been planning on that date for some time, the other promotion technically got their stuff filed before him. And, in pennsylvania, promotions with TV deals take precedence.
Well, that's water over the dam, because Mark's show will happen, and now it will be a week earlier.
Here's what it boils down to:
What: Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge
When: April 19.
Time: Weigh-ins at 10 a.m., fights start at 2 p.m.
Where: Wisehaven Banquet and Expo Center.
Price: General admission, $25.00; VIP Seating, $50.00.
As you can see, the time and the place have changed as well. Mark's very excited about the event being held at Wisehaven. It's got a sweet balcony, where he'll put VIP seating (in addition to the first two rows around the ring).
Starting earlier in the day means getting more fights in, he said.
"We have so many bouts and so many fighters that we wanted to star early," he said. "Four extra bouts - that's eight kids I won't have to disappoint."
