Premier FC returns with their 25th installment this Saturday at the beautiful Chez Josef in Agawam Mass. Karyn Wesch has been working hard keeping it all together and she graciously shared the fight card with us. There is a total of 12 fights and the main and co main event are both female fights! How exciting is that?? There will also be ring girls and yes, a ring boy for the female bouts. Make sure you get your tickets as this show is sure to sell out. The doors will be opening at 6pm and the first fight is set to start at 7pm. Warchild and I will be making the trip to cover all the action for you all so make sure you come say Hi!
