Bodybuilding.com and Driven TC present:

UNLEASHED...one hellacious event! The Bodybuilding.com Expo was great, with tons of vendors, pro football players, body builders and MMA FIGHTERS! In addition to local pro fighters Scott Jorgensen and Jens Pulver of the WEC, also in attendence were Kit Cope, Thiago Silva, Ben Saunders, Pete "Drago" Sell, Joe "Daddy" Stevenson, Robbie Lawler, Clay Guida, Jeremy Horn, Tony Frykland (just to name a few), as well as all the best local up-and-coming pros and amateurs.

After the expo, it was torn down, and the seating was set for a night of 9 fights, pro and amateur mixed. Some of the fights were over nearly before they started (I think the first bout lasted about 16 seconds) whereas others were all out slugfests. Most of the fighters came with their best games in place, and provided a night of entertaining MMA action.

The only downer was that attendance was well below what was expected. I suspect that was in part due to a high profile UFC 113 card where many fans likely opted out of local fights (shame) as well as the many various activities and events taking place throughout the Treasure Valley.

All in all, it was a great night of fights, back stage action, and time well spent. Thanks to all that allowed myself and Full Contact Idaho access, and thanks to all the fighters for putting up with us. Now, go check out the pics in the gallery, and be sure to watch for the relaunch of FullContactIdaho.com!
