Premier FC 6 Review



Arrived at the 350 Grill Parking lot and I see the cage being setup.  The air is nice and the ring girls are looking hot.  Premier FC has a nice huge tent over the entire cage and all the seats of the crowd.  There is a Bud Light stand serving ice cold beer.  I see for vendors, Need To Bleed, Get Punched and Old Dog Fightwear.  My buddy Old School is here ready to take notes. The DJ Edward Tourangeau and his sound system sounds top notch. There are burgers, sausage, hot dogs and chips.  Doomsday John Howard is here.  Marty Caproni is the ring announcer.  Ring girls are wearing short orange shorts and some tight booty shorts.  Nice choice of outfits for them PFC!! Rachel Doran is doing the national anthem.  Sorry if I misspelled your last name. I don't know the other ref's name but I know one of the refs is the one and only Steve Rita!!  Alot of you may not know but Rita provides gloves for alot of the local shows.  Decent crowd, I would say of about 800 or so people.
