August 30th will be the next tentative date for Combat Zone 71 so mark your calendars. The show had just the right amount of fights and it was fun with the grappling and kickboxing mixed in. They also had just the right amount of fog when the fighters entered the cage that disappeared up in the air almost instantly. They had two large screens around the room so no matter what fight fans wouldn't miss a beat. Special thanks to the photos from Warchild. Well we got another show tonight so off to the next one.
