We have full recaps in the works and a massive library of pictures to sort through but I wanted to take this time to go over what is sticking out to us from the weekend. First off both companies have shown nothing but love to Bluegrass MMA and for that we are very appreciative. Dave Stevens and Brian Buelterman were cageside for SFC 8 in Ashland as Dave was able to rub elbows with Todd Neal and the whole Spartan gang. Brian was doing the photography and his pictures will be credited in tomorrows Huntington Herald Dispatch newspaper. I was in Florence and felt like a true V.I.P. I was able to say a few words on AAMMA 13's GoFightLive.com coverage and witnessed some great fights but more so great people. We have acquired so many new friends in our venture here at BluegrassMMA.com and enjoyed meeting everyone Saturday night. In Florence we were able to talk with pro fighter Chris Smith about whats up next for him. We also got to speak with Juan Valle of WarCry about the awesome things they are doing in the Northern Kentucky area. Of course it's always a pleasure to talk with Team AAMMA. Dr. Parag Patel and Billy Donovan are as good as they come in this business. I can't talk about the night without mentioning a supporter of Bluegrass MMA and a huge influence on how we conduct business, Mr. Rob "Turtle" Whitson. Turtle had great post fight interviews and it was so good to be able to talk with him before the fight.
Dave and Brian were in great company too. Terry Callihan extended a huge welcome to Bluegrass MMA. Dave was cage side taking notes and soaking up Eastern Kentucky MMA. Todd Neal was right there with him and we hope he knows how much we appreciate his support. Greg Maynard and Brandon Newsome from Gruesome MMA were in Ashland with them. The guys from UNICA MMA were in the house to chat with us as well as the folks at Intimidation Clothing. It feels almost like a family as we get out to see and mingle with the MMA community. They have really opened up to us and we hope to never disappoint them.I can't not talk about this weekend and not mention Team Bluegrass MMA fighter Jessamyn Duke. She fought an excellent fight against a tough as nails opponent in Crystal Bentley. I will be honest and say I did not expect this to come out of the first round. Jessamyn pushed the pace and dominated all aspects of this fight and got the choke locked in during the 2nd round to finish the fight. We are very proud of Jessamyn Duke and honored to be a sponsor.
Full recaps with pictures are in the works as well as a full week of Bluegrass MMA Live and full coverage of Hardrock MMA 33 - Night of Champions.
