I went to a couple at War Memorial then they got a cage and went up to FAU, but stopped.. Any info on why?
Also, anyone know anyone that's had anything to do with the warriors colide stuff they are doing down here now?

Carl?o from ATT and Miguel from BodogFIGHT may have the explanation. Let me type a 'ttt' here and see if they can post something related.
Those were some good shows.

Some great memories at the War memorial.
not to mention conan and wes sims! Man I loved those shows some of my fondest mma memories
I went to one that was at War Memorial and Shelby had an "exibition" boxing match. big hurt fought at that one.. I have to say though, and I dont' know their names, but the best match of the event was the girls match.. freaking transition after transition, and the girl who was getting her ass kicked came back and got a submission at the end.
Good fights, good times, and tickets weren't so bad you couldn't afford em.
Sup charles?
How's the boca gym going?
TTT to AFC
I always bring this up when War Memorial threads arise: who all was at the show where Hammer House brought in some fighters and Mark Coleman raged out on a dude in the audience?
AFC was teh best!

Lisa Ward vs. Jessica Aquilar. Lisa won.
I was there for Conan vs wes Sims. Damn, Conan had the submission in, Wes is just REALLY hard to side arm choke. Just ask Frank Mir.
There's an awesome list of fighters that have participated on that event. A who's who, if you will.
I think they got picked up by Bodog and then they did nothing with it.
Something about Carlao', ATF and Thai boys IIRC.
conan looked awesome in that fight really made me appreciate his ground skills
