REALITY FIGHTING 102 1/5/2019 LIVE REVIEW

Image may contain: 1 person, text

Warchild and I made our trip out to Mohegan Sun for what should be an awesome night of grappling and mma and grappling action.  Just like the last couple of Reality Fighting events they are doing super grappling matches in the beginning and then the mma portion later.  The grappling portion will be starting at 6:30pm and it should be fast action from there.  Reality does a good job at firing the fights off real quick with minimal wait between the fights.  The ref for the grappling portion will be Ryan Parker.  Please follow along as I try to keep up with all the action!
