Battle Of Tampa TWO in the books, brought close to 500 fans to the Green Iguana on N. Dale Mabry in Tampa for what would be an amazing night of amateur MMA bouts! In the cage there were knockouts, tap outs,ankle locks and arm bars! This event showcased upcoming fighters from schools such as Highlander MMA, World Class Martial Arts, Omega MMA, Frontline Fitness and others who are looking to add experience and exposure in their quest of turning pro. The back area of the Green Iguana was a great outdoor location featuring VIP Cabanas, poolside seating, elevated stage and DJ tower, food off the menu, plenty of bars and ample room for all. The ten bout card was well matched and every bout had action!
The main sponsor for the event, Bawl and Maul, were on location making sure everyone got a chance to try their new fighter fuel, Brawl and Maul Brew! (Think Red Bull For Fighters) Brawl and Maul also sponsored many of the fighters on tonight’s card.
Other sponsors include,MMA Solutions, Wolf Pack Martial Arts Supply, Byrd & Gonzalez Attorneys at Law, The Press Box Tampa, SW Florida’s Elite MMA, The Penthouse Club, MAD Creativity, The Florida Combat Network, and Scores Gentleman’s Club supplied the ring girls!
