Image may contain: one or more people and text

Warchild and I found our spot in the parking garage across the street.  After walking around the building a bit we made our way through the security and throught he metal detectors.  Getting closer to the nice loud bass and we found our way to the cage!  It is a little early but the fights are set to start at 7:15 or so.  They have the vendors here selling grill, wraps and other items and also a big huge screen to make sure no one misses the action.  There are a total of 9 matches with 2 being grappling and the rest being mma.  Premier FC announced that Marco Alvan will be their matchmaker for their grappling matches.  As you can see below there is one amateur fight and the rest are professional battles.  The refs are Bryan Minor and Marcel.  Please follow along as I try to keep up with all the action.
