Posted on | October 20, 2009 | No Comments

(For immediate release) Montreal, Monday October 19th, 2009 – The Mixed Fight League – in partnership with Bud Light, Head Rush Clothing and Best Western Hotels – held its inaugural event, “MFL 1 : The Beginning,” at the Montreal’s Complexe Sportif Claude-Robillard on Saturday, October 17th.

Eleven action-packed bouts were presented in front of an excited and cheering crowd. It has to be mentioned that some well known personalities such as UFC veterans David Loiseau, Jonathan Goulet and Georges St-Pierre were there to support some of their teammates who were fighting.

“For a first promotion experience, we’re particularly proud of the result and the support we got from the fans,” mentioned Guy Poulin, co-founder of the Mixed Fight League. “As expected, we got a heavy and noisy crowd and I have to say that the atmosphere was incredible on that night. We have to admit that the athletes, who trained for several weeks to deliver such great fights and give an awesome show, are mainly part of our success,” conclude Poulin.

His partner, Dirk Waardenburg added : “For sure, we’re going to make some adjustments in the following weeks to make sure we’re gonna be able to impress with a better production quality for the second show, but globally, we’re more than fully satisfied of the results.”

Everything has been thought to amuse the fans and make sure they were all comfortable : two giant screens were deployed, the Head Rush Brand clothing company was there for some promotional activities with the sulfurous and beautiful Olivia Ambar (from the TV reality show “Occupation Double” broadcasted on TVA) as special guest appearance, the DRL Airbrush company offered their services to personalize fans t-shirts and the excellent and entertaining trapeze artists from the Magic Air Trapeze troupe executed themselves during the intermission. Out of the spotlights, fans and athletes were reunited after the show at the Montreal’s nightclub La Boom for the “MFL 1 : The Beginning” after-party. Here are the “MFL 1 : The Beginning” results :
