A question for You "experts"

Im just wondering why the Shamrock vs. Gracie card hyping its self as the first MMA card in California, also why I think its good news that UFC is in Cali, but not that big of a deal. Cali is super close to LV.

Isnt their MMA fights in Lemore California, also at Cache Creek casino.

Help me out whats the difference? Athletic commision?

are they hyping it as the fist sanctioned fight in cali?

yea I think they are Nightstalker

So MMA fights in Leemore and Cache Creek are not sanctioned?

just curious

as per the fight poster:

"First time ever in calafornia!

Cage fighting hits HP Pavilion at san jose"

 

the cali athletic commision has just recently said they would sanction MMA events so, no those other events are not sanctioned. The Strikeforce card looks quite interesting also.

Yeah, KOTC has been in CAli for years, and Neutral Ground used to have
regular Pancrase-style shows before they started cracking down. I'm sure
there's been lots of other events too. LA Underground had two shows and
I think Gladiator Challenge had some too.
