Fight Night Delivers A Knockout

SPRINGDALE -- Extreme Fight Night was an extreme success, said organizers of last weekend's event in All-Star Sports Arena.

"On a scale of 1 to 10, the event was a 10," Extreme Fight Night promoter Brandon Wilson said.Extreme Fighting, similar to that shown on Spike TV, combines boxing with martial arts.

It is wildly popular in the U.S. and its television rating are soaring past those of conventional sports like the NBA and NHL.

"The event was a great success, and we are already planning more fight nights for the future," All-Star Sports Arena's Will Holt said.

The night was kicked off by a performance from Fallen, which served as a warm-up for the main events.

The event was the first of its kind in Northwest Arkansas, but won't be the last. On June 23, All-Star Sports Arena will host a professional kickboxing event where a championship title belt will be on the line.
