Valhalla Fights brought a packed card to the Dulles Sportsplex on Saturday night. The doors opened at 6 and the fights were scheduled to start at 7. With the amount of people that showed up the fights had to start a little late. That was no problem there were plenty of vendors on hand including Chokem, the US Air Force several others and the band The Gypsy Sons.
Once the fights started it was on!!! From the first round of Mike Butler who defeted Marcus McCain with an arm-bar to the 19th and final fight of the night Caleb Ball who won the Valhalla 170lb title over Tyler Hopkins with a TKO in the second due to elbows. The night was packed.
I will have images up shortly so stay tuned!

This was supposed to be a great event for me. I was actually supposed to be fighting in this event. Bad news when you tear a rotator cuff, the docs just dont seem to want to let you fight.
In any event it was a great time. All the fighters put on a great show and [...]

Well folks, KleptoRadio does it again this time at Growlers of Gaithersburg. I have to admit this was my first time at Growlers but the spot seems to be a hit. The show started about 9:30pm and rocked until the doors closed. This is a pretty tight space which made for some loud Klepto!! Just [...]

Well I have to admit this was the first time I have seen this band together. I do know the bass player from his previous band but other than that this was going to be a first impression. I have to say, I was not disappointed at all. KleptoRadio knows how to get the venue [...]
