I hope you all enjoyed following along with our review. I want to thank Sportzone Matt Lewis and Dave Spero for putting on a great first show. It was a great crowd, not too rowdy. Everything went smooth for their first show and they had some great match ups. The lighting around the cage wasn't very bright so our pictures didn't come out super sharp. All of our photos will be up on our facebook fan page so make sure you like it to stay up to date. Also please support and like New Hampshire Fight League's fanpage. I am looking forward to covering more of their shows in the future. Gotta give one last shoutout to Colton Smith and Jay Pagliaro for doing the commentary and being such great down to earth people. We had a fun time chatting with you both.
