Ammo returns this Saturday the 13th of October to their home at the Big E. The Big E is huge so remember when looking for it to look for the Mallory Complex. The doors will be opening at 5pm and the first fight is set to start at 7pm. This show will be a mixed grappling and MMA event that will be featuring both amateur and professional mma battles. I have listed the grappling matches below which I believe will be first and then I will break down the entire mma card for you all. Tickets are still available at the link here starting at $35. This is the fight card as of now so keep in mind things change as the shows get closer.
