Two great events this weekend in PA – Cage Fight 2 in Scranton tonight and Beatdown on the Bay in Erie on Saturday.
Stay tuned to MMAMelee for news about Cage Fight 2, as they sponsor Jim “Kid Havoc” Hettes. I’m torn in this fight because York pro Jay Haas is Hettes’ opponent. What else can I say but may the best fighter win.
Beatdown on the Bay has a $25 general admission price, and special appearances by UFC fighter Josh Koshceck and Playboy’s Meghan Allen as a ring girl.
Mixed Martial Arts is exploding - the sport of the future is here. With mainstream media coverage, and fights on nearly all continents, it's now impossible to ignore the excitement, the complexity and the ferocity of MMA.
My name is Ted Czech, and I've worked in York, Pa. for eight years as a police reporter. I've been a fan of MMA since UFC 1 -- seriously -- and I've dabbled in a few styles like karate, kung-fu, taijutsu and submission wrestling. I hope to give some press to fighters from the York area, while also commenting on things happening in the U.S. and beyond. Let's support the sport!
