Coming off of another hugely successful and wildly entertaining night of fighting on August 13, Fight Me MMA returns to the Family Arena for its first ever Friday night show. Fight Me MMA and the Missouri National Guard have teamed up once again for the Veterans Day battle which will feature local MMA superstars J.W. Wright, Ray Grindstaff and light heavyweight phenom Tex Trismegistus, who will be making his long awaited and much anticipated professional debut. “Fight Me MMA is absolutely the most entertaining and popular MMA show we have ever hosted at the Family Arena,” stated Building Director Mark Reifsteck. “Their last two events here have drawn huge crowds and an enormous amount of interest from the community. As soon as one event ends calls pour in enquiring about the next show and that buzz lasts for weeks. This will be the biggest MMA show to ever hit Missouri so don’t miss it!”

Fight Me MMA has traditionally held it’s events on Saturday nights, however at the request of the Missouri National Guard and their desire to hold this event on Veterans Day, the decision was made to move it to Friday night. “This event will be much more than just an thrilling night of MMA cage fighting, it will be an opportunity to celebrate and honor the men and women who are the real fighters and heroes of this great Country,” explained Fight Me MMA’s Jay Walker who is also a retired Marine.

The action packed card will feature eleven fights including not one, not two, but three main events. “With the event being held on Veterans Day and hundreds of soldiers expected to be on hand, we are determined to make this our most exciting show ever,” said Fight Me MMA matchmaker Jessica Nowling.

Several other local fighters will be doing battle inside the Fight Me MMA cage including Missouri National Guard soldiers Spc. Miles McDonald, Sgt. Jeremy Koerper and Staff Sgt. Jason Powell. “We are honored to be teaming up with Fight Me MMA again and are very excited to celebrate Veterans Day with them and the citizens of the great state of Missouri,” said Capt. Brian Hatcher of the Missouri National Guard. “They put on an incredible show and provide the Missouri National Guard with a tremendous recruiting opportunity.”
