Posted on | February 16, 2011 | No Comments

The 107th Florida State Fair in Tampa, FL is underway and headed for record crowds of over 500,000 over the 13 day event. Adding to that number will be the historic, first ever inclusion of an MMA Expo/Event on Friday and Saturday, February 18th and 19th. And FightZone TV will be there to capture all the action for future national TV broadcast airing.

“Fusion” will be the 11th major MMA event held by Art Of Fighting in Florida. Promoter, Nathan Smith, commenting on the growing mainstream popularity of the sport says “Art of Fighting has stayed true to its Florida roots. We wanted to bring something to MMA fans in Florida that will help grow the sport in our state and reward loyal fans with a great experience.

Continues Smith, “Fair Authorities were looking for a way to add more young adults to their demographics and what better way to do that then hosting an event of this magnitude. This Expo is going to be a lot of fun for kids and maybe even more fun for adults who have been following the sport for years.”

The Expo, hosted by FightZone TV’s Jay Adams, will features an all day Saturday MMAC Grappling Tournament, live demonstrations, celebrities, seminars, MMA merchandise, autograph sessions, Game Playing Video Van, Weigh Ins and more. It is free to enter and includes Free Parking with the purchase of a ticket to the Florida State Fair.

Top stars in the sport including Sean Sherk, Seth Petruzelli, Olando Rivera, Wes Sims, Michael “Boom Boom” Buchovich, Tommy Sauer, James Hammortree, Charles Blanchard and others will be on hand to sign autographs and give demonstrations.

The Expo will be topped off with a well rounded professional fight card which will take place inside the Entertainment Hall on the Fairgrounds on Saturday February 19 at 8pm.

Fighters on the card include returning AOF winners Dave “Pay Me” Yost, Jim Alers, Christiano Souza, Angelica Brotherton, Raul Amaya, Buddy Roberts, CT Turner and more. Schedule subject to change.
